Being stared at relentlessly by a strange woman, Bai Ye’s expression darkened slightly. Ignoring Shen Xin, he instead asked Meng Qingluo, "Qingluo, what is going on?"
Having been partners with him for many years, Meng Qingluo knew Bai Ye’s temperament well. Seeing Shen Xin relentlessly staring at Bai Ye, she scoffed internally, not worried in the slightest that Bai Ye would be entranced by Shen Xin. She spoke indifferently, "Big Brother, this woman is Mr. Shen’s sister. I think since she’s going to live here now, they should prepare their own food. I’m not a cooking nanny, it can’t be that I have to cook for them forever, right?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xin and Shen Xi became anxious. Shen Xi couldn’t help but say, "Captain Bai, my sister and I can’t cook at all."
Shen Xin said with a grievance, "I can’t cook, but... but I can do other things!"
Bai Ye didn’t even glance at her but nodded at Meng Qingluo instead, "Let’s do as Qingluo said, from now on, Mr. Shen and Miss Shen should handle their own food. Also, Miss Shen, have you thought about where you’d like to stay?"
Shen Xin continued to stare at Bai Ye, hesitated, and was about to speak when Shen Xi quickly said, "She’ll stay with me!" He looked at Chen Si, "But it might trouble Mr. Chen to make some room by staying with Mr. Hou and Mr. Xu."
Chen Si didn’t speak, but wore a smile that was not quite a smile as he looked at Shen Xi and his sister. Hou San expressed his impatience, "Damn it! Why should we? Who do you think you are, expecting Chen to make room for you two? Dream on!"
Meng Qingluo also scoffed disdainfully, repeating her previous suggestion, "Big Brother, I think we should just let the siblings sleep in the living room. We shouldn’t inconvenience Brother Four."
Hearing this, Shen Xi immediately looked anxiously at Bai Ye, fearing he would agree. Shen Xi spoke with a fierce yet crumbling voice, "Captain Bai, you can’t treat us !"
Without a second thought, Bai Ye agreed, "Let’s do just that." Then he looked at Meng Qingluo briefly, "Qingluo, give them some food, you won’t need to worry about their meals going forward."
Shen Xi hadn’t expected things to turn out this way, and his expression was extremely grim. How could Bai Ye treat them this way? How dare he!
Shen Xin also did not expect that Bai Ye would remain entirely unmoved by her beauty, not even sparing her a glance! His eyes were solely on Meng Qingluo, that annoying woman!
Hesitating for a moment, she broke free from Shen Xi’s grip, marched up to Bai Ye, and looked up at him with tears shimmering in her eyes. She intentionally took on an ’obviously scared yet bravely enduring’ demeanor, and said to Bai Ye, "I’m sorry, Captain Bai, I didn’t mean to disturb you, I can leave, but please don’t target my brother, it has nothing to do with him."
As she spoke, she quietly released her superpower. The two were very close, nearly just an arm’s length apart. At such close range, she was confident that Bai Ye would surely succumb.
An exotic fragrance emanated from her, as she anxiously awaited to see Bai Ye become infatuated with her.
However, what she hoped for didn’t happen. Bai Ye’s gaze upon her grew colder and colder, as if he were looking at an inanimate object. A sense of alarm bell rang immediately in Shen Xin’s heart, signaling trouble. Yet before she could dodge, she suddenly felt a massive force crash into her.
It felt like all her internal organs were shattered; uncontrollably, she was thrown backward, slamming right into Shen Xi. Shen Xi, though a Spiritual Ability User, had a rather frail body without much strength!
Following the initial shock, Shen Xi didn’t even have time to feel angry, only instinctively trying to catch Shen Xin. Then he felt Shen Xin’s body crash heavily against him!
The tremendous force from Shen Xin gave him the illusion that his internal organs had been displaced, and uncontrollably, his body flew backward, carrying Shen Xin in his arms.
Finally, the two of them crashed hard onto the ground together. Shen Xi ended up cushioning Shen Xin’s fall, his back scraping against the concrete, skinning a large patch painfully.
This pain, however, was nothing compared to the excruciating pain of his broken ribs. Shen Xin, lying on top of him, was directly pressing on his fractured ribs, causing Shen Xi tears to stream uncontrollably.
This time, due to Shen Xin’s control, aside from Bai Ye, no one else realized anything was amiss. As they saw the sudden event unfold, after their initial surprise, there was intense anger! They might not know exactly what happened, but they all knew Bai Ye well, aware that he was not someone who would casually harm others.
