"If you feel hungry, you could have your meal first, lunch has also been prepared."
"If you feel tired, you could also go to the natural hot spring pool in the Water City’s back garden for a soak to help you relax."
Listening to the staff’s words, Shen Cheng just responded with a hum and didn’t make any other response.
In the face of her indifference, the staff dared not express any opinions and continued to escort her inside, talking as they walked.
The bodyguards behind her continued to watch their surroundings without distraction. The area could not be safer, but it was Shi Yu’s emphasis to ensure Shen Cheng’s safety that made them act so conspicuously.
Even government officials wouldn’t make such a show when they appear in public.
As Shi Yu’s woman, and carrying his child, naturally, nothing was allowed to go wrong – unless those present wished for death.
Shen Cheng turned her head to glance at the numerous bodyguards, furrowed her brow, but suddenly, a gentle large hand appeared at her waist. With just a light pull, she was brought into Shi Yu’s embrace.
She didn’t know when he arrived.
He was dressed in a black, hand-made shirt, his neatly cropped hair partially covering his forehead, a finely chiseled handsome face with a hint of a smile peeking through.
He lifted his lips, his voice carrying a hint of mischief as he asked, "What, you don’t like it here?"
Shen Cheng looked up at him and said, "I like it."
In fact, the environment here was really nice, and she wouldn’t dislike it.
At this moment, aside from the bodyguards, there wasn’t another soul around, clearly, the area had been cleared due to Shi Yu’s presence.
"Mr. Shi, long time no see."
The man coming towards them was dressed in a suit, very formally so.
Hearing his voice, Shen Cheng, who loved to observe, carefully noticed that the man’s tie was slightly askew but it did not detract from his appearance, a barely noticeable smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
Unexpectedly, she encountered Xia An’an’s man here - He Rui.
Shi Yu clearly had no fondness for him, his cold face becoming even more frosty at his appearance.
Yet He Rui, oblivious to the situation, came forward as if it had been a long time since they last met.
As he approached, Shi Yu reached out and grabbed Shen Cheng’s wrist.
With just a gentle pull, she was led away from her original spot by Shi Yu, increasing the distance from He Rui.
He Rui paused, then once again spoke, "Mr. Shi, rest assured, I have no intention of approaching Miss Shen."
Shi Yu gave him a cold glance and finally spoke, "You’re not even worthy of thinking about it."
After speaking, he waved a big hand.
The bodyguards immediately understood his intention and swiftly stepped forward.
What happened next, Shi Yu and Shen Cheng had no interest in watching, only heard a commotion of He Rui struggling against the bodyguards.
Shi Yu’s fingertips rested near Shen Cheng’s ear, moved slightly, and the straw hat fell from her head but was firmly caught by him, perfectly shielding their faces.
He leaned close to Shen Cheng’s ear, exhaling lightly, and said in a low voice, "I won’t allow other men to approach you, especially him."
Shen Cheng smirked, then teased, "You’re even jealous of him?"
Shi Yu ignored her question, and put the hat back on her head, "Behave."
"I’m not a cat; I don’t know how to act cute."
"You are a cat, one that specialises in scratching people."
"That would be a wild cat."
"Even if a cat is wild, hasn’t it been tamed by me, huh?"
"Clearly, it’s me who has tamed you!"
"And you still say you’re not a cat."
