She forced a smile, “Fourth Brother, you’ve known me for so long; anyway, I’m worthless in your eyes.”

“Hmm, a rare moment when you make sense,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

Breathe out, breathe in, deep breaths!

Xu Chaomu really felt like Shen Chi was about to infuriate her into illness, but luckily, she had a good mentality, cheerful and optimistic, she wouldn’t hold grudges against him! No grudges!

She turned her head away in a huff, resting her chin on the window as she watched the pouring rain. What should she do? Where was her backpack?

Shen Chi clearly didn’t care about her at all, so why should she care about a puppet he gave her?

No, it wasn’t about caring; it was about relieving stress! When she was unhappy, she could throw it away at will!

Her little paws grasped the window sill, her eyes rolling around, trying to spot her backpack.

But it was really dark outside; she could only see the area near the car. After scanning around, nothing…

“What are you looking for?” Shen Chi cast a glance her way.

“Nothing. ”

“Backpack? Oh, I threw it into the trunk,” Shen Chi said nonchalantly.

He threw it into the trunk? Xu Chaomu turned her head and glared at him, but his face was innocent.

For some reason, a wave of warmth passed through Xu Chaomu’s heart, but still, after staring at him for several dozen seconds, she turned her head away huffily.

Making her search for nothing!

Shen Chi was truly exhausted. Seeing that she was no longer speaking, he leaned back in the leather seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, such as, who kidnapped Xu Chaomu tonight? Why did his car coincidentally have a flat tire? And what about the signing ceremony tomorrow, what should he do.

Xu Chaomu, on the other hand, was carefree. What concerned her more was how to deal with Shen Chi, a domineering and poisonous-tongued man, in the future.

But soon, a wave of sadness welled up inside her. He would be getting married soon, and it would be difficult for her to even see him afterward, let alone confront him…

Zhou Ran’s words reemerged at that moment. Once Shen Chi married, would she still stay with the Shen Family?

The rain hit the window. Xu Chaomu wasn’t normally a sentimental person, but at this moment, the silence in the car gave her a profound sense of loneliness.

She propped up her little head with one hand and drew circles on the window with the other.

Silence, emptiness, solitude.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Chaomu finally gathered the courage to turn her head.

Shen Chi’s eyes were closed; she stared at him for a while. Biting her lip, she eventually whispered, “Fourth Brother.”

“Hmm,” Shen Chi wasn’t asleep, just with closed eyes, he acknowledged. “I want to ask you a question,” Xu Chaomu said with rare calmness.

“Hmm.”

“When are you getting married?” She finally mustered up the courage. Since Bai Man was his fiancée, then his wedding day should be set.

“It’s none of your business,” Shen Chi opened his eyes, glanced at her, and closed them again.

“How is it none of my business, I need to take some time to buy a gift!” Xu Chaomu said with a playful and charming smile, hooking Shen Chi’s arm.

Displeasure flickered across Shen Chi’s cold face. He pushed her hand away and said coldly, “No need!”

“If there’s no need, then I won’t send one, and I can save some money. That’s pretty good,” Xu Chaomu turned her head away again.

She couldn’t pry any information out of him, failure!

She continued to lie in her seat, eyes darting around. Since Shen Chi refused to talk, what if she returned to the Shen Family to ask Bai Man?

No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than Xu Chaomu’s tooth began to ache again.

“Hiss—,” she inhaled sharply.

Covering one side of her cheek, her little face twisted in pain. She bit her lip, enduring the agony.

Really, it didn’t hurt earlier nor later, but just had to hurt now.

But toothaches were really unbearable; sweat dripped from her forehead. She was almost rolling on the floor in pain.

As soon as they were out of these mountains, she’d go to the hospital to have her tooth pulled.

Just when her back was soaked with sweat, suddenly, she heard the sound of a car starting in the torrential rain.

She pressed her face against the window to look outside, and behind the black Hummer, several white police cars approached. Their lights were blinding, instantly illuminating the dark place like a beacon.

“Fourth Brother, the police are here!” Xu Chaomu shouted.

Shen Chi then opened his eyes, lifted his wrist to check his watch; it was exactly 4:10 in the morning.

It was the dead of night, quiet and still, when even the slightest rustle could be heard distinctly.

The police jumped out of their cars, and both Old Cheng and Li Beiting were also in the police vehicles; they walked to the front of Shen Chi’s car with umbrellas in hand.

“President Shen, sorry for being late,” Old Cheng apologized to Shen Chi with a sorry face.

“It’s alright, you drive,” Shen Chi had a tired look on his face, then immediately opened the door and moved to the back.

“Okay,” Old Cheng got into the driver’s seat.

Xu Chaomu was stunned by the scene before her. These police officers all seemed quite respectful towards Shen Chi. Oh, it might be more about the respect for Li Beiting.

She had long heard from Yu Weiwei that Li Beiting was very powerful.

She glanced down, catching Li Beiting’s gaze.

Li Beiting stood in the pouring rain with a black umbrella, and when Xu Chaomu looked at him, he also glanced at Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu’s heart skipped a beat. What did that look from Li Beiting mean?

A warning?

She couldn’t tell, but she felt that Li Beiting was more serious and colder than usual.

Everyone sighed in relief seeing that Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu were safe and sound. They proceeded to get back to their respective vehicles in an orderly fashion.

Xu Chaomu looked back at Shen Chi who was now seated behind her. His eyes were closed; he was silent, unsure if he was asleep or deep in thought.

Two police cars led the way in front, and soon after, Old Cheng followed them, with a fleet of police cars escorting them from behind.

Leaving the mountains behind, Xu Chaomu suddenly felt a profound sense of loss.

She turned to look at the road they had traveled. There—it had been just her and Shen Chi—she still wanted to talk to him. Compared to nightmares, the warmth felt like it was carved into her heart with a knife.

The entire way, the car was very quiet.

Xu Chaomu didn’t speak, Old Cheng didn’t talk, and Shen Chi was even less likely to say anything.

Unsure how long they drove, but eventually, the car left the mountain road and entered the bright city area.

The scene suddenly changed from narrow to open, giving a sense of immediate release. Xu Chaomu felt that this journey was very long, like a century.

Once the car reached an area with signal, Shen Chi’s phone started ringing incessantly.

He slowly answered.

“All flights tomorrow are canceled.”

“Tell the presidents, the contract must be signed by me, Shen Chi!”

“Xiao MO, send people to secretly contact their company, use the safest method to send the contract to C City!”

Shen Chi’s tone was forceful and resolute, every word firm and decisive.

Xu Chaomu didn’t understand, and actually, she didn’t need to. She just felt that the gap between her and Shen Chi wasn’t just a small stream; it was an entire galaxy.

She rubbed her head; her toothache was flaring up again.

She covered her cheek, head drooping, sitting listlessly in the passenger seat.

Just then, Shen Chi hung up the phone and said to Old Cheng with a cold voice, “Turn left, keep driving!”
