Three days later, Shi Yu received a call from Qin Jin.
"It’s been verified that the Old Sir of Shen Family left behind two wills before his death; one was destroyed, and the other is missing."
"Is it possible to find that will?"
"It’s quite difficult, since six years have already passed."
As Shen Cheng came up from downstairs and passed by the study, she happened to hear the conversation inside.
Shi Yu was dealing with some documents, so he had the speaker on, and Qin Jin’s voice, neither too loud nor too soft, drifted into Shen Cheng’s ears, allowing her to hear everything clearly.
She hesitated for a moment but then pushed open the slightly ajar door and entered.
Seeing Shen Cheng enter, Shi Yu frowned slightly and told Qin Jin they would talk another day, then hung up the phone.
"That will, it can’t be found."
She stood in front of the computer desk, looking at Shi Yu with a faint voice, devoid of any fluctuations.
Shi Yu met her gaze, trying to read something from her eyes, but he couldn’t feel any emotional turmoil.
This woman, never willing to drop her disguise, to let down her guard, she always deliberately seals her heart, not letting anyone detect her weaknesses.
He closed the document, stood up, and walked towards Shen Cheng, staring at her intensely, "Then you tell me, do you want to find that will or not?"
"There’s no such thing as wanting or not wanting." Shen Cheng couldn’t help but let out a light laugh, "Even if it’s found, the Shen Family has a hundred ways to destroy it, don’t they? So it doesn’t really matter whether it can be found or not."
"They, the Shen Family, dare to?" Shi Yu’s gaze turned piercingly cold, "Six years ago, I was not by your side, which is why you were injured all over. Now that I am here, who dares to harm you even slightly?"
"What if one day you grow tired of me! I’ve offended so many people, each and everyone wants me dead, what should I do if it really comes to that?" Shen Cheng was still laughing, her laugh so dazzling, making it difficult to guess her thoughts.
Shi Yu’s gaze darkened, he stretched out his long arm, dominantly pulling her into his arms, holding her tightly, his tremendous strength as if wanting to meld her into his bones.
He is much taller than her, towering over her by a head. In front of him, her figure seemed even more delicate.
Shi Yu tilted his head and buried his face in her hair, eyes closed greedily inhaled the unique scent from her hair, a faint and intoxicating fragrance.
With his hands, he held her even tighter, encompassing her as if wanting to become one with her.
Shen Cheng felt so suffocated by his embrace that she could hardly breathe, the smile on her lips instantly vanishing, her eyebrows knitted in displeasure: "Lighter!"
As if he hadn’t heard her, Shi Yu not only didn’t let go but also continued to increase his embrace strength.
"Mmm... I told you lighter!"
Shen Cheng had no room to resist, she pushed him, but he stood immovable like a mountain, showcasing the huge physical strength disparity between men and women.
"First tell me, will you or will you not speak such nonsense again?" His voice, magnetic, carried a vaguely dangerous undertone.
"What you’re saying is the nonsense! Your whole family speaks nonsense!"
"If you hug me again, I’ll..."
"Call the police?" Shi Yu raised his handsome lips, smiling mischievously and lightly.
He recalled the first time they met, their conversation back then was very similar to now.
"You’re the cat, your whole family are cats!"
"If you mess around again, I’ll call the police!"
Unintentionally, the smile on his lips spread even wider, bewitchingly beautiful.
