BXBX NOVEL Chapter 42 - 042 You ‘ve Spoiled Her
He turned his head, just in time to see Xu Chaomu’s small face drawing near hers, with a smile so genuine it deceived both young and old.
Her big, watery eyes looked particularly innocent, bearing an expression of being helplessly coerced. Shen Chi leaned in close to her, his nose catching her unique, youthful body scent, feeling a warm surge through his abdomen.
This was already the third time in just a few days!
Suppressing the intense urge within his body, he scowled, clenching his fists tight before pushing her away.
“Take it!” he said, pulling out a bank card from his wallet.
Xu Chaomu accepted the bank card, her face alight with joy: “Thank you, Fourth Brother!”
Was this trick really so effective?
Just then, a woman walked into the shop from across the street.
Dressed in a sky-blue dress, her figure was graceful, her demeanor elegant. She approached Shen Chi, wallet in hand, with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile on her face.
She slipped her arm around Shen Chi’s, looking at Xu Chaomu and saying, “So this is your sister?”
Her eyes shone like crystals, her nose was high and proud, and her makeup was lightly applied. Her long hair was tied up on her head, exuding intelligence and charming elegance.
“Mmhmm,” Shen Chi responded indifferently.
Xu Chaomu stared intently at the woman for several moments—wasn’t she the cover girl from the magazine that Li Beiting had taken earlier?
Her gaze drifted downward; indeed, beneath the collar were surging waves!
“Quite a spirited girl, not at all like you,” Bai Man said with a smile.
Xu Chaomu snorted inwardly. They weren’t blood siblings, how could they resemble each other?
Still, the sight of this woman latching onto Shen Chi’s arm made her incredibly uncomfortable.
Yet, what mattered most was that Shen Chi showed no signs of rejection.
Xu Chaomu suddenly recalled something Yu Weiwei had mentioned: “I heard she became famous not long after her debut, skyrocketed by some wealthy businessman from C City.”
If she remembered correctly, was this woman’s name Bai Man?
As for this wealthy businessman from C City, could it really be Shen Chi?
Her heart felt like it had been pricked.
A sting, a throbbing pain, excruciating.
But who was she, Xu Chaomu? She was Dada, the little thug, right? She feared no one. She too smiled sweetly at Bai Man, “Are you Fourth Brother’s girlfriend? You’re really beautiful and a perfect match for my Fourth Brother’s taste. You two chat; I won’t bother you any longer.”
Xu Chaomu gave Shen Chi another glance; he didn’t seem to have anything to say.
In her heart, Shen Chi’s image was greatly diminished!
This man, so unbearably vulgar!
He just liked big breasts and wouldn’t admit it!
“Little sister is quite eloquent. I’m your Fourth Brother’s fiancée,” Bai Man said with a laugh. “When I marry your Fourth Brother, would you be my bridesmaid?”
Xu Chaomu smelled the light perfume on her, identical to what was on Shen Chi the previous night.
Last night, Shen Chi was indeed with Bai Man.
Her heart was pricked once more.
“We don’t have the custom of sisters being bridesmaids here,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently. “My Fourth Brother has poor taste, vulgar vision, and low character. Are you sure you want to marry him?”
A twitch at the corner of Shen Chi’s mouth—very well, he’d keep that in mind.
“Little sister does have a sense of humor. I’m willing to marry, and he’s willing to take me—that’s enough!” Bai Man’s face was filled with joy as she pulled Shen Chi’s arm to rest on his shoulder.
“My name is Xu Chaomu.”
Xu Chaomu glared at Shen Chi, then turned and walked away without looking back.
She called over to a shop assistant: “I’ll take this one!”
The assistant hurried over to wrap the tie for Xu Chaomu. It was only when she was about to pay with the card that she realized she had forgotten to ask for the password.
To turn back or not to turn back, that was the question.
“Your birthday!” At that moment, a deep voice sounded faintly from behind her.
Her birthday? He still remembered her birthday! As if she needed him to remember, she wasn’t going to thank him for it.
Xu Chaomu curled her lips, punched in a few digits, and sure enough, the transaction was successful. Eighteen thousand!
So happy!
Spending his money didn’t hurt her at all! She only wished she had spent more!
She left them behind, proudly carrying her shopping bag.
So happy!
She had spent eighteen thousand of his money!
However, while riding the elevator down, she didn’t know why but she felt a bit sour. It was as if sand had gotten in the corner of her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and the more she rubbed, the worse it felt…
Watching Xu Chaomu leave, Bai Man looked up to Shen Chi and said, “Shen Chi, you’ve spoiled her rotten.”
Shen Chi’s eyes were cool and indifferent as he spoke with contempt, “She’s my sister, if I don’t spoil her, then who will?”
“She’s not your actual sister, right? I saw it all when she wrapped her arms around you, she didn’t seem to regard you as just a brother.”
“Bai Man, you’re not jealous of Chaomu, are you?” Shen Chi’s lips curled into a smile, but his gaze held a hint of coldness.
Realizing he was somewhat upset, Bai Man quickly hugged his waist and buried her head in his chest, looking the picture of a woman leaning on her man.
“How could I be? She’s your sister, and she will be my sister too. It makes no sense for a sister-in-law to be jealous of her sister-in-law.”
“Good that you understand,” Shen Chi hooked the corner of his lips and pushed her away.
He walked out of the boutique and headed towards the elevator!
“Shen Chi! Aren’t we going to shop around more? We’ve just arrived at the mall!” Bai Man chased after him in her high heels.
“There’s something to take care of at the corporation. You shop on your own, excuse me!” Shen Chi didn’t look back.
“Shen Chi! Shen Chi!” Bai Man chased after him, but Shen Chi was already on the descending elevator.
As Shen Chi rode the elevator down, he suddenly remembered something.
Why had Xu Chaomu come to this mall?
He recalled how she sat in the car last night, watching the mall’s electronic billboard without blinking.
Last night, the billboard had only displayed two new arrivals, one was a Givenchy white dress, and the other, a pair of Christian Louboutin beige heels with red soles.
His brows furrowed, last night, she clearly looked so reluctant in her eyes!
He stopped and pressed a button, and the elevator slowly ascended to the fifth floor!
Xu Chaomu, carrying her shopping bag, looked unhappy.
She walked home, head down, eyes full of disappointment. She counted her steps, one, two, three…
As she counted, her footsteps remained ordered, but her heart became a mess.
This was the first time she’d met Shen Chi’s fiancée in person, or rather, the second time. The first time she saw Bai Man in a magazine, she thought she was a beauty, delicate, elegant, intelligent, probably the type most men would pursue.
She looked even better in person than in the magazine, and even her voice was gentle, like peach blossoms in the spring breeze, graceful and charming.
Such a perfect woman, of course Shen Chi would like her.
She should just wish them well!
But why did her heart feel so painful…
Like a knife stirring inside, again and again…
Glancing at the bag in her hand, she really did want to give the tie to Shen Chi. Perhaps, she could consider it their wedding gift, even though it was bought with his money.
As Xu Chaomu walked, thinking all these thoughts, she began to plan her future. Once Shen Chi married, he might move out of the Shen Family villa, and then she would have to stay there alone.
She really did not want to let go of him, not at all…
When Shen Chi’s Maybach stopped in front of her, her eyes were already red. She hastily wiped away her tears, pretending not to see, and kept walking.
“Crying?”
Shen Chi rolled down the car window, supporting himself on it, his eyes fixed on her.
“Cry? Why would I, Xu Chaomu, cry? That’s a joke,” she said indignantly, continuing on.
Shen Chi lightly stepped on the gas to follow her, “Then why are your eyes red? Don’t tell me sand got into them.”
Xu Chaomu stopped in her tracks and glared at him fiercely, “I just saw a handsome guy on the road, with an amazing body. Couldn’t help it, I shed tears of excitement..
