Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Arrogance is a disease, it needs treatment
 

Xu Chaomu’s hand was still pinching Shen Chi below, let go already!

“Butler, it hurts so much,” Xu Chaomu pretended to be a pig in order to eat a tiger, starting to play dumb.

“Ah, such a heavy hand.” Butler Ling touched Xu Chaomu’s face.

Xu Chaomu simply grabbed Butler Ling’s arm and rubbed against it, “Butler, I don’t want to stay here anymore, this man is simply a tyrant.”

“Xu Chaomu, say that one more time and see what happens!” Shen Chi could no longer bear it.

“Butler, look, he just used that tone when talking to me. And when he couldn’t win the argument, he slapped me.”

With pitiful charm, Xu Chaomu tugged at Butler Ling’s arm, her petite figure was pitiable.

“Fourth Young Master, girls should be cherished, not hit. Girls are most afraid of pain. How about you apologize to Chaomu?” Butler Ling advised earnestly.

“Xu Chaomu, cut the crap. Come here and tell me where and how I hit you.”

Shen Chi’s sharp gaze shot towards her, causing Xu Chaomu to shudder.

Breathe out, breathe in, deep breaths.

Steadying her nerves, she let out a “wa” and hid in Butler Ling’s arms.

“Butler, see, he won’t even admit it.”

“Don’t cry, don’t feel bad. Fourth Young Master, just apologize to Chaomu. Look, her face is all red, you were… a bit too forceful.”

Butler Ling and Xu Chaomu played off each other.

Being haughty is an illness, it needs to be cured.

If once doesn’t cure it, then twice, three times, a lifetime, there will always be a time when it’s healed.

Butler Ling had watched Shen Chi’s haughty behavior for twenty-eight years, and she just wanted to see when this man would stop being haughty.

“Xu Chaomu, roll over here and I promise I won’t beat you to death!” Shen Chi’s sharp, deep eyes fixed on Xu Chaomu as if she were a little white rabbit.

The girl actually managed to win over Butler Ling as well.

“Butler Ling… he’s going to hit me again…” Xu Chaomu cried.

Dammit, she couldn’t squeeze out any tears!

“Fourth Young Master, it’s wrong to hit women. Apologize to Chaomu. Look, Chaomu is pregnant. Your actions and words can also affect the baby in her womb.”

A twitch formed at the corner of Shen Chi’s mouth, as he really wished he could strangle Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu had pinched Shen Chi’s hand for a good while, finally, the man let go.

Once he let go, she dodged away, keeping her distance from him.

“Shen Chi, domestic violence is illegal. If you don’t apologize to me, I’ll sue you. Men who engage in domestic violence all have psychological issues. My baby definitely can’t be around someone like you.”

“Domestic violence? Do you want to get a taste of what domestic violence is?” Shen Chi raised his eyebrow.

“You… what do you mean…” Xu Chaomu jumped away, dodging.

His eyes were full of ill-intent, and moreover, he was taking steps toward her.

Xu Chaomu kept hiding in Butler Ling’s embrace until that man stood right in front of her.

“Mumu, you’re still pregnant right now. Let’s wait until the baby is a bit older before we play domestic violence, okay? Just try not to scream too loud then,” he said.

Although the man maintained a serious expression, the words that came out of his mouth were anything but.

Butler Ling understood and covered his face, “I’m leaving, you two talk.”

Once Butler Ling left, Xu Chaomu lost her support and became a helpless little white rabbit.

Xu Chaomu felt vexed inside, Butler, could your combat power be any weaker…

“Shen Chi, have you no shame?”

“Who was the first to have no shame?” he shot back coldly, his smile fading.

“It was always you! I’m just on the phone with my friend, and you have to butt in. I don’t care, if you don’t apologize today, don’t talk to me.”

Xu Chaomu stubbornly turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

“Impossible!” Shen Chi said gravely.

Grinding her teeth, Xu Chaomu thought, impossible, huh? Then don’t talk to her.

She sat down at the dining table, took a bowl of white rice for herself, and sat far away, eating silently.

Shen Chi originally stood still, but seeing her go and obediently eat, he also took a bowl and sat down opposite her.

Xu Chaomu inwardly sneered, with such a long table, he had to sit opposite her.

Shen Chi was still as elegant as ever when eating, even though he was angry.

As for Xu Chaomu, she just kept her head down and ate without saying a word.

Shen Chi thought, his parenting was truly a failure. Eight years of raising a girl and not one of his good qualities rubbed off on her?

“Eat slower,” Shen Chi frowned and reminded her.

Xu Chaomu ignored him.

Even though Shen Chi didn’t apologize, his chopsticks naturally started to pick up food for her. This habit, eight years long, probably couldn’t be changed in a lifetime.

And of course, he had no desire to change it.

“Eat more nutritious things,” Shen Chi commented faintly.

Just as Xu Chaomu reached out with her chopsticks to take a piece of crispy fried bone, Shen Chi blocked her chopsticks.

“You can’t eat this.”

Xu Chaomu glared at him fiercely, while he looked serious and earnest.

But his chopsticks were adamant.

Left without options, Xu Chaomu gave in.

She pulled back her hand and sullenly shoveled white rice into her mouth.

Seeing her quiet, he picked a rib out of the rib soup and offered it to her, “You can’t eat fried food, eat this instead.”

Xu Chaomu ignored him and pushed the rib aside.

“Angry?” Shen Chi raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

Xu Chaomu refused to speak, wondering if she could hold it in until he suffocated.

A deep smile formed on Shen Chi’s lips, and he simply moved to sit beside her, stuffing a piece of meat into her mouth.

“Swallow it,” he commanded as domineering as ever.

Xu Chaomu swallowed it, nearly choking.

Her eyes widened, staring unblinkingly at him.

“Shen Chi, you really think I have no temper? Get lost, don’t let me see you.”

Just the other day, it was clearly him being unreasonable, and to this day, he still refused to directly apologize, still finding fault with her.

“Mumu, unless I’m mistaken, have you ever called me ‘dear’? Hm?”

“You and I are neither dear nor loved. If you know how fast the speed of light is, that’s how far you should roll away from me!”

Xu Chaomu was still fuming inside. This man refused to simply apologize and yet had the nerve to make demands of her.

“Fine, I’ll disappear for a few days after we finish eating,” he said seriously, without a hint of joking on his face.

He watched her quietly, seeing his own reflection in her dark pupils.

Xu Chaomu paused, feeling a bit at a loss when Shen Chi became earnest, although she would have been angry if he was just fooling around.

He bowed his head, took her bowl, and after picking out the bones from a piece of fish, offered it to her mouth, “Open up, I’ll feed you.”

“Where are you going?”

Xu Chaomu refused to open her mouth. He didn’t seem to be joking.

“Nowhere in particular. I just thought you might want some peace. As for me, I’m going to find a few little lovers, okay?”

“Choose some pretty ones with substance, not just those with big chests all the time,” Xu Chaomu retorted with a pout.
