Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Qingyue intentionally looked unhappy and said, “It's my grandfather's birthday, didn't you know? You still want me to go out and find you?”

He had not contacted her for several days; could she not be a little upset? Besides, she did not believe he was unaware of her grandfather's birthday banquet.

Chi Ming replied, “With that tone, you seem a bit unhappy? I brought barbecue for you! Do you want to eat it? Come over.”

“Not interested.” She was wearing a slim evening gown tonight and had not even had dinner to maintain her figure. How could she give up her efforts for a bite of barbecue?

Chi Ming teased, “There's roasted chicken skin!”

“Where are you?” She thought about it for a moment; perhaps eating a little wouldn't hurt. It's just chicken skin, what harm could it do?

Passing through the fountain with sculptures, Shen Qingyue finally found Chi Ming. He was leaning against a black sports car, looking at her with a smile as she walked closer.

Shen Qingyue scanned him up and down, and he only carried a gift bag. She questioned, “Where's my barbecue?”

Chi Ming's lips slightly curled up, his tone casual, “I lied to you.”

Shen Qingyue lightly kicked him with her leg, saying, “Getting more gutsy now? You dare to lie to me.'

Chi Ming chuckled softly, his deep and pleasant voice entered Shen Qingyue's ears, and somehow her cheeks turned slightly red. After not seeing each other for a few days, why did she find Chi Ming so attractive now?

He asked, “If I didn't lie to you, would you have come out with me?” Shen Qingyue cleared her throat, “What do you want me to come out for?”

“I prepared a gift for your grandfather.” He handed the gift bag to Shen Qingyue.

Shen Qingyue took a look; it was an antique-style box with a glass lid, containing a string of prayer beads. The beads were inscribed with peculiar and ancient-looking characters, giving it an aura of mystery. She was puzzled, “Why don't you go in?”

“Not interested. There are too many people in such occasions, and they'll bombard me with questions.” Chi Ming lowered his eyes, lost in thought.

Shen Qingyue thought for a moment and did not insist further. However, as she moved, she suddenly noticed something wrong. She looked down and found her heel stuck in a drain.

“Chi Ming,” she called out, feeling somewhat embarrassed. No matter how she tried, she could not pull it out. Without looking at him, she asked, “Can you help me back?”

She pulled her foot out of the shoe, deciding to abandon it!

There was a back door behind the villa where she could enter through a small path without being noticed. However, the path was quite far, and walking barefoot was not ideal. She raised her hand, about to ask Chi Ming to support her, but he surprised her by lifting her horizontally. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Chi Ming chuckled, “Do you want to hug me that much?”

Shen Qingyue's ears turned red, “You're the one hugging me! Taking advantage of me!”

“Yeah. ”

His acknowledgment only made Shen Qingyue's face even redder, and she buried her head in his embrace, “Let's hurry, don't let anyone see us; it's embarrassing.”

Chi Ming smiled but did not say anything.

They smoothly made their way past the front hall, but when they reached the second floor, someone blocked their path.

“Shen Qingyue, being indecent at Grandfather's birthday banquet, you're really filial, aren't you!”

Shen Qingyue turned to the source of the voice and met Qin Zhen's icy gaze. She patted Chi Ming, calmly asking him to let her down and half-leaning on him for support. If she had encountered someone else, she might have felt embarrassed, but in front of Qin Zhen, she felt none at all. She casually replied, “Mr. Qin, which eye did you see us causing trouble? Please get your facts straight; this is my family's place! Mind your own business.”

Qin Zhen frowned, “You were about to enter a room together! Do you have no shame?”

Shen Qingyue rolled her eyes, “I'm tired of telling you that you have no shame. I'm going back to my room to change my shoes. Is that not allowed, lunatic?”

“Do you think I'll believe that?” He had been keeping an eye on Shen Qingyue and noticed that she received a call and then disappeared for half an hour!

Shen Qingyue sneered, not wanting to deal with him, and then tugged on Chi Ming's sleeve, “Let's go.”

Chi Ming nodded and helped her walk past Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen gritted his teeth and reached out to grab her.

Shen Qingyue turned sideways, “I'll warn you again, this is the Shen family, not your Qin family! Let go.”

Qin Zhen remained silent, holding her hand with increasing force.

Shen Qingyue winced in pain, her expression changing. She wanted to chop off this dog's paw!

At this moment, Chi Ming held Qin Zhen's hand, exuding an intimidating aura, “Let go.”

Qin Zhen remained silent, coldly looking at Chi Ming, showing no signs of backing down..
