Miss Xu took a sip of her tea without commenting.

In the past, with her fiery temperament, who would dare speak to her like that? However, given he was the boss’s relative, she still had to save face.

“Miss Xu, there are some desserts here, please have some.”

“Thank you.”

“What kind of person is your ex-husband, Miss Xu? Did you like him?”

Xu Chaomu indifferently responded, “An ordinary person, liked him once.”

“Oh, oh. But… Miss Xu, being so beautiful, you must have many suitors, right?”

“Not really.” Xu Chaomu said in a bland tone, as she didn’t want to engage in too much conversation.

The man grew increasingly talkative, and she felt less and less fond of him. Initially, she thought he was quite gentlemanly but gradually felt he was no different from the typically sleazy men.

Although it was a joke, she didn’t appreciate such humor, especially since they were not close.

“May I ask a personal question?” Seeing Xu Chaomu’s lack of enthusiasm, the man moderated his tone a bit.

“Go ahead, but I reserve the right not to answer.”

“You’re quite interesting,” the man laughed.

Interesting my ass! Xu Chaomu cursed silently.

The man still quite liked Xu Chaomu, finding her gentle and quiet, suitable for a wife, and besides, she was genuinely beautiful.

He heard from his cousin that Xu Chaomu wasn’t wealthy, so such a woman should probably value material assets greatly.

“Miss Xu,” the man hesitated, “how many boyfriends have you had?”

“One,” she replied indifferently.

“Oh…” The man wanted to say something but felt it might be inappropriate. After pondering a bit, he finally spoke, “Since we’re both adults, I’ll be straightforward. How many men have you been with? I value this quite a bit, so…”

Xu Chaomu’s expression darkened, and she looked displeased.

“If Miss Xu doesn’t wish to answer, I won’t force you. I’m just trying to understand you a bit more,” the man said, believing he was being rather tactful.

“Since you value this so much, you can completely opt for someone who has never been divorced,” Xu Chaomu retorted.

“I consider myself competent even though I’m self-aware. Besides, I rather like you, Miss Xu, and am genuinely interested in learning more about you. If you don’t want to answer, I won’t force you.”

“I think, I’m not that interested in you,” Xu Chaomu stated flatly.

If it weren’t for her boss’s sake, she probably would have cursed already.

“Are you sure you’re not interested? I own a small villa in the city, a company, and a Porsche worth over a million. I even brought you a gift today…” The man said while glancing sideways at Xu Chaomu.

Yet, Xu Chaomu remained unmoved.

Having grown up in the prominent Shen Family, would she be swayed by such assets? A Porsche couldn’t even make it onto the Shen Family’s car list; Shen Chi could randomly pick a car ten times its price.

Noticing Xu Chaomu’s lack of reaction and thinking she was being coy, he thought any young woman would be tempted by such an offer.

“Here’s the gift I brought you, take a look, see if you like it.” The man pulled out a box from behind.

Inside the box was a jade bracelet that looked expensive.

Xu Chaomu glanced at it, unsure of its authenticity, but real or fake, she showed no reaction.

“I specially bought it; this one costs twenty-eight thousand.”

“The gift is too valuable, I really can’t accept it,” Xu Chaomu said, taking another sip of her tea.

“Twenty-eight thousand is nothing to me, fine jade for a fine lady,” the man said.

“But I won’t accept it.”

Xu Chaomu was no child; these men offer expensive gifts, only aiming to deceive you into sleeping with them.

“Just a bracelet,” the man dismissively said, “Take it as a token of our meeting.”

“I said I won’t accept it!” Xu Chaomu emphasized.

“You women, always so coy. Divorced, second-hand, and still playing hard to get, aren’t you just pretending?” the man’s expression darkened as he lost his gentlemanly demeanor.

“I think, I’m not interested in you, let’s call it a day,” Xu Chaomu said.

She was still considering her boss’s feelings; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been this polite.

Dealing with such people, she had ample experience. But her boss was genuinely kind to her; this man, however, she wouldn’t meet again.

So, she gave him a bit of face.

“Wait, let’s talk more, I still have a good feeling about you.”

The man suddenly grabbed Xu Chaomu’s wrist. He was earnest with his words as he found Xu Chaomu truly attractive.

In this day and age, a naturally beautiful woman is rare.

A man would want a good-looking wife to show off. Besides, Xu Chaomu had studied abroad, making her a rare find for a wife.

“Let go!” Xu Chaomu’s face darkened as she jerked her hand away.

When she shook his hand off, she accidentally knocked over the jewelry box on the table, and with a “clang,” the jade bracelet shattered!

Broken shards scattered all around, their emerald green more translucent under the light.

In that moment, time seemed to stand still!

The man didn’t let Xu Chaomu shake off his hand but gripped her wrist even tighter.

Some people glanced their way but thought it was just a couple arguing and didn’t intervene. However, below, two sharp gazes had been watching the upper floor for quite a while.

“This jade bracelet cost twenty-eight thousand, if you want to leave, pay for it first. Of course, I’m not petty, we can sit down and talk more; I still feel something for you, Ms. Xu.”

“I feel nothing for you!” Xu Chaomu said flatly, “You were rude first. As for this jade bracelet, I’ll pay half the price.”

“Half? Do you think you can still bargain?”

“What else?”

“Either pay twenty-eight thousand or spend a day with me,” the man smiled.

“Spit! Get lost!” Xu Chaomu’s expression was very unpleasant. She yanked her hand away.

“Don’t be so pretentious…” the man gritted his teeth, trying to grab her hand again.

But this time, before Xu Chaomu could act, another pair of more forceful hands caught the man’s hand!

Xu Chaomu looked up and stepped back in shock.

Uh… When did this man come to Jin City?

“Who’re you calling pretentious?” Shen Chi said sternly, his gaze cold.

His icy eyes were like frost in winter, piercing into the man’s face as if boring holes through it.

Suddenly the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees, and the air felt as if it had frozen.

Xu Chaomu truly didn’t know this man had come to Jin City and now caught in the act, she saw no peaceful days ahead.

She lowered her head and stepped back, thinking of where she could quickly escape.
