The two were engaging in ambiguous interactions without any regard for those around them, yet even so, who would dare to gossip.
Shi Yu wrapped Shen Cheng back in his arms again, his lowered eyes filled with unconcealed adoration.
But when he raised his head to face others, indifference once again took over his entire visage.
Shen Cheng saw the change in his expression and couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile, this man with ascetic tendencies...
Just when she was entertaining naughty thoughts about whether to tease him, Sun Yan quickly approached from a distance and whispered a few words to Shi Yu.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yu’s brows tightened slightly and the hand on Shen Cheng’s shoulder gradually withdrew, "You go and rest first, I have matters to deal with."
Shen Cheng never asked too much, especially about his work, and merely gifted him with a seductive smile, "Mmm, I’ll wait for you."
Having said that, she turned around and walked away without looking back.
Shi Yu watched her, his brows furrowing tightly.
This woman always had a kind of magnetic charm that could drive men mad.
He wanted to confine her in a cage, to blend her into his very marrow, to belong solely to him, letting no one else lay a finger on her!
Watching her petite figure grow distant, Shi Yu glanced at the nearby bodyguard with an expressionless face and spoke coldly, "My woman, I won’t allow her to suffer even the slightest harm!"
His icy voice, paired with an imperial aura, made the legs of several bodyguards nearly buckle, as they hurriedly nodded, assuring him, "Boss, please rest assured, we will never let any harm come to Young Madam Shi."
Shi Yu hummed coldly and only turned to leave after watching Shen Cheng disappear around the corner.
"Phew..." Once he was gone, the bodyguards let out a sigh of relief.
After patting their chests to calm their heartbeats, they quickly followed in the direction Shen Cheng had gone, sticking closely behind her.
Shen Cheng looked back at them, a rare move of not driving them away.
She just felt a sweet taste spreading in the bottom of her heart, an indescribable satisfaction.
"Young Madam Shi, would you like to go for a meal now, or...?"
The staff glanced at the time and, realizing that it was mealtime, cautiously sought her preference.
"Not hungry, I’ll take a walk."
Ever since she got pregnant, Shen Cheng’s appetite had been lackluster, always feeling full and sick after eating just a little, with no sign of improvement after more than half a month.
"Then... please take a moment to rest. There are still people in the back garden; we will immediately arrange for someone to clear the area."
Hearing that she wanted to take a walk, the staff didn’t dare to slack off.
The staff member’s face hesitated, "Young Madam Shi, please don’t make it difficult for us..."
Fearing the unexpected, who knows what unforeseen circumstances might arise.
If someone who wasn’t looking where they were going tripped her or caused her a bump, they would all be in serious trouble.
In the past, Shen Cheng would have retorted: It’s your problem!
But today, she was in a good mood, so she decided not to make it difficult for them.
She spoke up, "Go ahead and clear them."
She was well aware of Shi Yu’s temperament; those who dared not follow his orders were on a path to self-destruction.
These people, timid and barely daring to speak up, it was obvious how much they feared that man.
Relieved by her response, the staff immediately arranged for someone to clear the area.
