Chapter 105: Chapter 105 Shen Chi Will Definitely Marry Me

Translator: 549690339

Butler Ling truly feared another incident like yesterday’s would occur and hurried over to counsel Xu Chaomu.

“Miss Xu, why don’t you have a chat with Miss Bai? Miss Bai won’t do anything to you.”

Butler Ling really was patient and earnest, tugging Xu Chaomu along like a kind elder.

But Xu Chaomu felt uncomfortable, biting her lip tightly, she looked up at Bai

Man.

In the realms of presence and aura, she had lost to Bai Man. She had no confidence, not even a bit. Bai Man’s words pierced her heart like a thorn, and she instantly lost all self-assurance.

“I just want to say a few words to you, if you are willing to listen, then come over,” said Bai Man, glancing at Xu Chaomu and stepping out of the living room in her high heels.

Butler Ling tugged at Xu Chaomu’s sleeve: “Go on, Miss Bai isn’t as fierce as you think.”

Xu Chaomu still followed, walking into the Shen Family’s grand garden alongside Bai Man.

Bai Man treaded across the lush green grass, ascending the garden’s heights along the steps.

The pavilion was quite windy, seated atop it, the breeze swept in from all directions.

Today, Bai Man had donned a sky-blue gown, the hem fluttering about, perfectly blending with the deep blue sky above. Her long hair too danced in the wind, looking like a beauty who had stepped out of a painting.

No wonder everyone said that Bai Man was the most beautiful woman in C City.

Xu Chaomu glanced at herself, having tied her hair in a ponytail, donned in a plain white loose-fitting tee with an immature-looking chubby rabbit printed on it, paired with a pair of jeans — regular high-school student attire.

Xu Chaomu sat across from Bai Man: “Say what you need to say.”

“I think I don’t need to beat around the bush with you, you’re not stupid, you can understand,” Bai Man looked at her.

Xu Chaomu frowned, staying silent.

“When everyone treated me as Shen Chi’s fiancée, only you never did. I know it all,” said Bai Man, her tone listless, “but this is the truth, even if you don’t acknowledge it in your heart, you should understand.”

“So what?” Xu Chaomu was calm.

“Shen Chi stood up for you and treated you very well; I won’t deny it, nor am I jealous. Because, similarly, Shen Chi treats me well too. But these ‘treatments’ are different. Towards you, it’s the care a brother should have. But towards me, it’s the affection for a wife.’

Bai Man paused, before continuing, “Even if Shen Chi doesn’t say it, you should know. Don’t mistake Shen Chi’s kindness towards you as something else, he is never going to like you.”

Xu Chaomu didn’t speak, so Bai Man went on.

“Therefore, you shouldn’t harbor any inappropriate thoughts towards Shen Chi. Though he stood up for you yesterday, he apologized to me later that night. He said that you are young and asked me to go easy on you. I think he was right, I will go easy on you, but you should at least give me the basic respect I deserve.”

“He really said that?” Xu Chaomu lifted her sparkling eyes to Bai Man, her gaze dimming.

“Yes,” Bai Man asserted firmly, “he said a lot to me last night. If you don’t believe me, I can play the recording for you.”

Bai Man turned on her phone; she had secretly recorded her conversation with Shen Chi the day before.

At first, the recording was filled with noise, interspersed with intermittent piano sounds.

Xu Chaomu didn’t know where it was recorded, but it didn’t take long for the recording to quiet down.

Then, she heard their dialogue. “Shen Chi, you’re here.”

“Mm.”

“Order some things you like to eat.”

“How did today’s play go?”

“It went smoothly, no major issues. If nothing unexpected happens, we will soon be done filming, and we’re planning to hold a press conference.”

Xu Chaomu listened, and halfway through the recording, she heard Bai Man ask, “Why… did you bring it with you?”

Xu Chaomu didn’t know what it was, but Bai Man, stroking the sapphire necklace around her neck, said, “This necklace, he specially delivered it to me last night.’

In the recording, Shen Chi said, “The one I gave you, you don’t want it anymore?”

Xu Chaomu’s long eyelashes dropped, and just then, Bai Man pressed the stop button.

“Want to listen further? Afterward, Shen Chi personally put the necklace on me; you can ask Shen Chi about all this yourself,” Bai Man looked at Xu Chaomu with an amused gaze, “I tell you this, not to boast or anything, but I think you should clear things up in your mind, and stop being hopelessly one-sided. It’s not good for you, and it’s not good for Shen Chi either.”

“I don’t know why you like Shen Chi, maybe it’s just a simple crush, or perhaps… you’re after the Shen family’s background. Yes, such an excellent opportunity – who wouldn’t want to stay in the Shen family, marry Shen Chi. If you do, you’ll never live a poor and lowly life again, even without effort, you’ll be assured a life of prosperity. He is your only lifesaver; you want to hold on to him tight, right?”

“Yes, if I could marry him, I wouldn’t have any worries, so I like him. No, so I cling to him, stick to him. As long as I can marry him, what do I need my dignity for!” Xu Chaomu became emotional.

She couldn’t be bothered to explain. What was there to explain anyway?

Probably not just Bai Man, but everyone in the Shen family thought the same.

Even she herself thought that Shen Chi and Bai Man were well-suited, one handsome and dashing, the other alluring and charming. The Shen Family and the Bai Family were allied by long-standing connections, both prominent and reputable clans.

Their match seemed ordained by heaven itself.

She no longer had the courage to love Shen Chi…

“I don’t care what you think, but there’s one more thing I want to tell you,” Bai Man said, “Shen Chi will definitely marry me.”

Confidence was written all over Bai Man’s face, with a provocative look in her eyes. She emphasized the word “definitely” with great certainty. Xu Chaomu looked up at her face, finding no hesitancy there.

“Why?” Xu Chaomu blinked, but still asked.

Bai Man curved her red lips, giving a slight smile: “Why? Because he loves me, that’s why.”

“Oh,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently, “I only see him as a brother.”

The day before, Shen Chi had warned her, “From now on, whether in public or private, always remember, I am your fourth brother. You’d best treat me as if I were your real brother! Don’t go doing something overboard again!”

She had deeply etched it in her heart!

“You’d best mean what you say,” Bai Man said lazily, “That would be better for everyone.”

“I’m off to climb a mountain.’

Xu Chaomu stood up, no longer wanting to continue the conversation with Bai Man.

Bai Man did not stop her, perhaps because she had said everything she wanted to.

When Xu Chaomu reached the last step of the pavilion, she paused. Without turning back, she said lightly, “Miss Bai, you lack confidence in yourself. In fact, I really envy you.”

After that, Xu Chaomu walked away, not looking back.

She was speaking honestly; she did envy Bai Man. Envious of her family background, her beauty, the complete family she had, loving parents, and many, many friends.

Everything she envied, she did not possess..
