The most severe consequences held no threat to Shen Cheng.
She pulled her long legs out of the water, stood by the poolside, and lazily stretched her body.
With a leap, she dived into the water.
After swimming a few laps in the pool and feeling a bit tired, she rested on the edge of the pool.
The summer sun seemed poisonous, reddening Tao Tao’s face and making her sweaty, yet she didn’t dare utter a word of discomfort because she brought it upon herself.
However, Shen Cheng looked unbothered; her fair and flawless face showed no signs of sun damage. With a few droplets of water, her skin even appeared more delicate.
Glancing at Tao Tao above, she lifted the corners of her mouth, with a hint of frivolity in her eyes, "Why not come down and swim together?"
Tao Tao didn’t feel like smiling, but she forced a stiff smile, "I dare not."
She wanted to live a few more years, how could she possibly join her in the water?
Besides, her only reason for coming here was to tell the person in the pool that the water here must not be touched.
If it must not be touched, why would she be foolish enough to touch it!
Today, she indeed wanted to see if this woman could remain arrogant till the end.
The young master is definitely not a man who can be easily offended or angered!
Thinking this, Tao Tao’s originally stiff smile began to relax.
Yet each of her movements, even the slightest expression, did not escape Shen Cheng’s notice.
This woman is really not simple.
At this moment, she must be thinking about how to retaliate against her!
Rising from the water, Shen Cheng used her hands to brush back the hair on her forehead, twisted out the excess water, and from a carved Phoebe table picked up a clean towel to wipe herself dry.
After drying off a bit, she wrapped her body with the towel.
Meanwhile, Tao Tao was staring intently in a certain direction.
Following her gaze, a black luxury car slowly entered and drove towards them—
Since the underground parking lot was near the direction of the pool, vehicles had to pass by the poolside on a lane to enter the parking area.
The car quickly approached, and a cold smirk appeared on the corners of Tao Tao’s mouth, but it quickly disappeared.
The car stopped ten meters away, and a man with a tall stature and a dashing presence alighted from the vehicle.
In a blink, Tao Tao changed her expression.
If one were to describe it, it would be aggrieved.
Yes, aggrieved—at least in Shen Cheng’s view, her expression was full of grievance, with eyes seemingly recounting endless bitterness.
This woman, she is even better at acting than her!
Shen Cheng raised an eyebrow, her indifferent gaze briefly sweeping over Tao Tao, "What are you being aggrieved about?"
Her voice, as cold as her demeanor, seemed as if it could freeze someone.
Hearing her words, Tao Tao lowered her head and did not speak, seemingly brewing her emotions.
Knowing she was acting, Shen Cheng did not intend to stop her and turned her gaze elsewhere, giving Tao Tao more space to perform.
Shi Yu got off the car and quickly walked towards the entrance hall, but from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Shen Cheng.
Seeing her wet and wrapped in a towel, his sword eyebrows raised, and he hastened his steps in that direction.
Tao Tao slightly lifted her head, watching Shi Yu walking towards their side, she internally counted his steps, ten, nine, eight...
Suddenly, she staggered, leaning forward, and just like that, she fell!
She thought she would be caught, but unfortunately, she miscalculated.
Falling awkwardly on the ground, a pair of polished expensive leather shoes appeared in her view...
