Chapter 1138 - Chapter 1138 Chapter 1138 Who Allowed You to Touch Xu Chaomu

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Who Allowed You to Touch Xu Chaomu? Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Who Allowed You to Touch Xu Chaomu? “Uncle Bai, not only are you unwilling to cooperate, but if you dare let out even one of these photos, I, Shen Shihan, will not spare you!” Shen Shihan glared at him icily.

Bai Xuan panicked, unable to fathom Shen Shihan’s intentions.

Five years ago, hadn’t Shen Shihan and Zhou Peitian kidnapped Xu Chaomu?

Moreover, Shen Shihan and Shen Chi had always been at loggerheads, presenting Shen Chi with a perfect opportunity to ruin his reputation and cause him great distress, yet Shen Shihan remained indifferent.

“Shihan, I hope you’ll reconsider. After all, opportunities like this don’t come twice. This is a great chance, and I think you surely understand, you’re so intelligent,” Bai Xuan persuaded. “Besides, if you have someone else release the photos, no one will know it was you.”

“Who gave you permission to touch Xu Chaomu?” Shen Shihan glared at him coldly.

His gaze carried an icicle-like chill, like a cellar in the dead of winter, which could make one shudder from a mere glance.

When his gaze fixed upon him, Bai Xuan paused, questioning–what did Shen Shihan mean by this?

Xu Chaomu was untouchable?

“Shihan, are you misunderstanding something? Shen Chi was heartless first; I can’t just sit idly by. I think you’d want to see Shen Chi meet a bad end even more than I would.”

“Don’t ignore my words. I’ll emphasize it again, if you dare harm Chaomu or slander her in any way, don’t blame me, Shen Shihan, for taking action!” Shen Shihan warned him in a cold voice.

The temperature around them seemed to drop suddenly, as if plummeting to freezing point in an instant.

Bai Xuan looked utterly puzzled, but being clever, he understood that Xu Chaomu was off-limits for Shen Shihan too.

“Don’t think I don’t know about your schemes with Bai Man,” Shen Shihan continued. “Keep a better watch on your daughter and stop her from hopping around everywhere!”

“You…”

“I’ve booked this place for today, Uncle Bai, so if you have no other business, please leave,” Shen Shihan said.

Bai Xuan felt snubbed, frustrated that he had hit a wall with Shen Shihan.

He had thought that since Shen Shihan and Shen Chi were arch-enemies and Xu Chaomu was Shen Chi’s wife, Shen Shihan would surely use this to his advantage, but he hadn’t expected this outcome.

“Shihan, are you really planning to give up such a great opportunity? The Bai Family’s assets are second only to Shen Group. If you won’t cooperate, I’ll find someone else. That way, the Bai Family can still be safe. Aren’t you at a loss here?”

“Your collaboration with someone else doesn’t concern me, Shen Shihan, but if you dare to exploit Xu Chaomu or slander her, don’t blame me for not being polite!”

“Why do you protect her so much? Unless I’m mistaken, you used her five years ago, right? Surely, she must despise you deeply,” Bai Xuan sneered coldly.

“Her hatred for me is her business, but if you dare harm her, I will not make it easy for you,” Shen Shihan stated definitively.

Seeing that he couldn’t come to terms with Shen Shihan, and that Shen Shihan didn’t want to discuss it further, it was clear there was no room for negotiation.

Bai Xuan stood up, wanting to grab a stack of photos from the table.

But Shen Shihan was quicker, securing all the photos under his hand and said lightly, “President Bai, please leave, the guest is dismissed.”

Before Bai Xuan could speak, a waiter came over, “President Bai, let me escort you.”

“I’ll leave on my own.” Bai Xuan angrily shook off the waiter’s hand and walked toward the door.

These days had been consistently frustrating!

The photos he had finally found were taken away by Shen Shihan; if he dared release even one, Shen Shihan would certainly follow through on his threats, making life hard for him!

He angrily got into his car, fuming with nowhere to vent.

Seeing him like this, his assistant didn’t dare to breathe loudly, simply standing at the door, waiting for Bai Xuan to call him into the car.

The outside sun was blinding. For the first time, Bai Xuan felt this sense of defeat, along with a feeling that he was no longer a match for the younger generation.

Both brothers, Shen Chi and Shen Shihan, were ruthless.

But… watching the two brothers struggle for power might also be quite thrilling.

Bai Xuan had been sitting at the door for a long time, probably infuriated by Shen Shihan, not knowing where to go.

As soon as Bai Xuan left, Shen Shihan had someone destroy all the photos.

Photoshopped? That’s all the trick Bai Man has up her sleeve, a selfish and scheming woman who, even after five years, wouldn’t have changed at all.

Xu Chaomu is a person Shen Shihan knew very well, he would never believe Bai Man.

It’s just that he hadn’t seen Xu Chaomu in a long time…

He sat in the lounge for a long time and brewed himself a cup of tea, drinking silently alone.

About half an hour later, Mo Shuifu woke up and changed into a loose blue floral dress.

Mo Shuifu, freshly awoken with no makeup, looked fresh and natural.

With her black hair flowing down, she walked gracefully towards Shen Shihan and smiled, “Have you been sitting here the whole time? Why didn’t you go and rest?”

“Waiting for you,” Shen Shihan responded with a smile.

“I’ve kept you waiting then, I feel bad about it.”

“Are you hungry? Let me take you somewhere nice to eat,” Shen Shihan stood up and took her hand.

Mo Shuifu noticed there were many waiters around, she moved her fingers, trying to pull her hand back.

But Shen Shihan was faster, holding her hand tightly in his palm.

“Where are we going to eat?” Mo Shuifu asked.

Shen Shihan was in a good mood today, she had noticed it in the morning when he was teaching her to play golf. He was very patient, had turned off his phone, and was accompanying her all the time.

“Come with me.”

“If it’s not good, I won’t pay.”

“Alright… if you don’t like it, you can make me sleep in the living room tonight,” Shen Shihan whispered, bowing his head close to her ear.

Mo Shuifu blushed, “There are a lot of people around.”

“So what if they’re looking? We are a legitimate married couple after all.”

Mo Shuifu laughed, letting Shen Shihan hold her hand.

A few steps forward, Shen Shihan suddenly stopped, and when she wasn’t paying attention, he kissed her on the cheek and then looked at her with a triumphant smile.

Mo Shuifu was startled, then reacted and playfully said, “Tonight I really do want to make you sleep in the living room.”

“Would you really?” Shen Shihan teased.

…Mo Shuifu decided not to speak anymore, feeling like the more she said, the worse it got.

Shen Shihan held her hand and led her through an inner garden, heading towards the entrance.

“Do you want to come over and play tomorrow?” Shen Shihan asked.

“Do you have time tomorrow?”

“I’ve got nothing planned these next few days, nothing but time for you.”

“Does that mean you’re going to be busy after these few days?”

“Mmm… not too busy, but I need to go abroad,” Shen Shihan said.

“What have you been busy with recently?” Mo Shuifu asked softly, trying to probe.

Some issues were like a time bomb lurking between them, which she hesitated to touch, yet she desperately wanted to defuse it.

She did not want them to be covered in scars over certain issues.
