Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Sheng Shaochen Always One Step Ahead
“Shaochen… Shaochen, what… are you doing?” Ye Shu’s face turned embarrassingly red.
Yet, she did not continue to struggle.
Because she had already misunderstood him several times just now; she feared that this time was another instance of suspecting a gentleman’s heart with a villain’s mind. If so, she really couldn’t face Shaochen anymore.
“What do you think?” Shaochen’s gaze was poisonous, searing as he scanned her from head to toe.
Ye Shu felt as if every part of her that his eyes touched was catching fire, and in an instant, her heart was in chaos.
She hurriedly bowed her head, choosing not to speak anymore.
She realized that in the art of flirting, Shaochen was always one step ahead.
She never knew when he was playing hard to get or when he would suddenly act cool and aloof.
Thus, she could only respond to unchanging situations by trying to minimize her embarrassment.
But it was as if he could see right through her. When she tried to remain calm, he just had to provoke her!
Shaochen carried her and walked out, but his steps were deliberately slow.
So slow that Ye Shu felt as if time had stretched infinitely.
It had only been a little over a minute, but it felt like dozens of minutes had passed.
She was so anxious that her face turned bright red.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she lifted her palm-sized face and hooked her arms around his neck, blinking her excessively beautiful lashes at a high frequency, lowering her voice several degrees, “Mr. Sheng, I’m in a hurry, could you please let me down?”
“No!” Shaochen decisively refused, adding a mischievous smile.
Ye Shu stiffened completely. Were all the rumors false?
The gynophobic Shaochen clinging to her made it hard to believe he was afraid of women!
Even his cool aloofness had gone to the dogs—Shaochen’s cunning was growing by the day!
Yet, he was just too perfectly handsome; even with a malicious smile, he exuded sheer nobility, dazzlingly handsome to the point of blinding.
Ye Shu unconsciously swallowed.
For the second time, in front of this nominal husband, she was struck dumb.
Embarrassed, she bit her lip lightly and buried her face in his chest, taking deep breaths to calm herself, “Mr. Sheng, my younger brother…”
“Shh, I don’t like women who talk too much.” Shaochen’s index finger covered her lips, signaling her to be silent.
His mischievous eyes were filled with threats.
This was probably what they call nitpicking.
It was just uncovering a little secret of his, did he have to go through such lengths to torment her emotionally?
His heart, unable to approach his mother, was just like her anxiousness to see her brother.
Why couldn’t he show a bit of empathy?
Ye Shu was anxious to find Ye Zifeng, but from their interactions these past days, she had started to understand his temperament.
This man, mostly responds better to soft approaches than hard ones!
She opened her mouth and gently bit his index finger.
Not hard, like a kitten playing with its owner.
She bit gently and finely, and as she lifted her eyes, they shimmered attractively, her voice becoming even softer and more enticing.
“Mr. Sheng, we both value family above all. Considering this, could you possibly…”
“Mrs. Sheng, are you asking for a favor?”
Shaochen was charmed by her overly obedient demeanor, though his face remained expressionless.
A smile flickered in his deep blue eyes, as if he wanted to capture Ye Shu entirely in his gaze.
