Shi Yu’s eyes were dark and brooding, but he still lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
Shen Cheng curved her lips into a smile, leaned in to bite his earlobe, her teeth lightly grazing, and mumbled vaguely, "I think I already..."
She deliberately paused, making Shi Yu raise his eyebrow involuntarily, "What?"
"Fell in love with me?"
Shen Cheng just smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
In the evening, the maids finished their day’s work and gathered to chat.
"I heard the Young Madam has been feeling bored at home and is planning to relax in Water City this weekend."
"Water City, huh, the place that only welcomes big shots, the Young Madam is truly living a life of Happiness... Is the young master going as well?"
"He will go. It seems there’s a very important client coming, who needs the young master’s personal attention."
"Ah, I am so envious of the Young Madam, ever since her pregnancy, the young master has been so good to her..."
"Yeah, whenever the Young Madam wants a hug, the young master will carry her without any complaints."
The group whispered among themselves, while Tao Tao stood nearby, silent, apparently devising some plan.
Xia An’an dialed a number countless times on her phone, but no one answered.
Enraged, she hurled the phone violently to the ground.
The phone was instantly smashed to pieces, its parts scattered everywhere.
She had sent one of her henchmen to take care of something for her, but the person had not shown up again, and now the phone wouldn’t even connect!
If the matter had been settled, it would have been fine, but if not, then...
At that thought, Xia An’an felt annoyed and restless, pacing back and forth in the room.
Just then, the landline rang.
She didn’t want to answer at first, but the phone kept ringing persistently, so she eventually went to pick it up. It was Tao Tao calling, "Anan, are you free this weekend?"
Hearing Tao Tao’s voice, Xia An’an asked, "What’s the matter, cousin, do you need something from me?"
"Didn’t you say before that your cousin-in-law is one of the owners of Water City? That woman is going to Water City this weekend. I think we can’t let this opportunity pass!"
"Shen Cheng is going to Water City?"
"Then, cousin, you mean..."
"She is pregnant now, right? If something scares her, or shocks her, and she miscarries, that would be best."
Over the phone, Tao Tao stirred up Xia An’an’s hostility towards Shen Cheng, inciting her to take action against Shen Cheng.
The two cunning conspirators laid their plans and ended the call accordingly.
During the weekend, the weather was lovely.
A gentle breeze was blowing, and the temperature was just right.
Shen Cheng wore a simple white long dress, but it did little to conceal her exquisite figure.
She wore a wide-brimmed straw hat on her head, with long black hair naturally falling behind her back, her aura outstanding.
Her face bare of any makeup, yet natural beauty shone through brilliantly, almost too beautiful for words.
Just one glance was enough to make anyone hesitant to look away.
She seldom dressed up , but since she was pregnant, she had to choose loose clothing to wear.
Sun Yan followed behind Shen Cheng, looking at her attire, he could not help but want to compliment her: "Young Madam looks like a lotus flower emerging from clear water today...or an uncarved plum blossom, what’s it called?"
A maid nearby heard him and whispered a reminder, "A natural beauty uncarved and unadorned."
Sun Yan immediately responded, "Yes, that’s it! A natural beauty uncarved and unadorned!"
Shen Cheng didn’t even bother to glance at him and walked straight toward the car.
Seeing her approaching, a bodyguard hurriedly opened the car door ahead of her, and after she seated herself in the backseat, he closed the door.
