Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Sister, come pick me up
The smile in Ye Shu’s eyes bloomed gently, “Is Mr. Sheng scared?”
He smiled indifferently, his voice hoarse as each word pierced through her eardrums, “Mrs. Sheng truly isn’t being honest, not only failing to quit smoking properly but also never seriously quitting drinking!”
Indeed, she was a woman in need of teaching.
Ye Shu paused, “Quitting smoking and drinking takes time.”
Was she trying to act cute?
Sheng Shaochen furrowed his brows, about to continue schooling this disobedient character.
By the shore, inside her handbag, her phone suddenly rang.
Ye Shu hurriedly said, “Wait, let me, let me answer this call first.”
“…” Sheng Shaochen’s face darkened.
Yet Ye Shu slid away like a slippery loach, climbing up onto the shore.
She almost ran frantically toward the corner.
Honestly, she really was afraid of Demon King Sheng lecturing her incessantly like a head of the family.
It felt just like when she was little, not doing her homework and being lectured by her mother like Tangseng, exactly the same.
Her heart felt both fear and an uncontrollable desire to rebel.
It seemed as if she might lose control at any moment.
From a young age, Ye Shu’s greatest fear had been losing control of herself, as it made her feel very insecure.
Reaching the corner, Ye Shu took deep breaths while pulling out her phone.
Seeing the name ‘Ye Zifeng’ flashing on the screen, her heart skipped a beat, her face quickly paling.
Ye Zifeng, still supposed to be in detention, should have had his phone confiscated. How could he call her?
Could something have happened?
Ye Shu hurriedly answered, “Hello, Zifeng, how can you make a call? Did you cause trouble again? Didn’t you promise your sister to endure? I’m figuring out a way for you, how could you…”
“Sister, don’t panic… Your brother, I’ve come out!”
Through the wireless waves, Ye Zifeng’s young and assertive voice rang out, carrying a hint of pride.
Ye Shu stood there, stunned, unable to recover her composure.
Turning around, she faced Sheng Shaochen, who was leaning a hand against the wall, looming over her.
Ye Shu froze completely, suddenly realizing.
It seemed that before she had even stepped into this place, Sheng Shaochen had already arranged for someone to release Ye Zifeng.
Yet she… almost betrayed him…
Ye Shu felt awkwardly embarrassed, lowering her head and biting her lip, staring at her toes.
Ashamed of herself for misunderstanding him.
Sheng Shaochen’s gaze swept over her from head to toe.
A trace of a smile flickered across his lips, almost imperceptible.
He bent down, about to gently stroke her head.
But suddenly, a shriek from Ye Zifeng came through the phone.
