The clock on the wall ticked by the second until the hour hand pointed at eight, only then did she shake her head and start to pack her things.

First, she took out the clothes and shoes from her handbag. The white dress was hung in the wardrobe, and the red-bottomed shoes were placed on the shoe rack.

These were the birthday gifts he had given her for her eighteenth birthday. She would leave them here.

In the future, whether they were thrown away or given away.

She opened the wardrobe and picked out a few pieces of clothing she often wore.

Her clothes were really ugly. 𝒻𝓻𝑒ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝑐𝘰𝓶

All Shen Chi’s fault, the clothes he bought for her were all ugly. But from now on, she would wear whatever she wanted, and he could no longer control her.

It was supposed to be quite a happy thing, but Xu Chaomu’s nose slightly soured.

That one piece of lingerie was still there. Xu Chaomu reached out and took it off the hanger, stuffing it into the bag.

After finishing with the clothes, she started to pack shoes, small items…

“Knock knock knock…”

The door to her room was suddenly knocked.

Xu Chaomu quickly zipped up her backpack, “Who is it?”

“It’s me, Bai Man.” A voice as light as a oriole’s came through.

Xu Chaomu paused in her actions. Bai Man? Wasn’t she at the film set? Was she coming back to sleep now?

She rushed over to open the door for Bai Man, “Fourth Sister-in-Law, you’re back.”

Bai Man had indeed just returned from the film set, still wrapped in a green coat. She gathered her hair and peeked into the room, “May I come in?”

“Of course you can.”

Wearing high heels, Bai Man stepped inside and casually closed the door to Xu Chaomu’s room.

Usually, she had no chance to come to Xu Chaomu’s room. Ever since the incident with the necklace last time, Shen Chi had made it clear to everyone in the Shen Family: without his permission, no one was allowed to enter Xu Chaomu’s room.

Bai Man felt envious now that she thought about it.

“Fourth Sister-in-Law, have you had dinner?”

“I ate at the film set. Since I was coming back to the Shen’s, and I heard from Butler Ling that you’d returned, I came to see you,” Bai Man replied.

“I also just got back a while ago.”

“I heard your mid-term exams are over. How did you do?” Bai Man sat down on a chair.

“Okay, I guess. The results will be out in a while anyway,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.

She knew she wouldn’t know the results. Whether good or bad, they didn’t have much to do with her anymore.

“Chaomu, would you like to study abroad?”

Xu Chaomu looked up confusedly, absentmindedly replying, “Fourth Sister-in-Law, as you know, I don’t like studying.”

“Your school has spots for studying abroad, and countless people are desperate to get one. It just so happens that I have a connection reserved for you. Won’t you consider it?” Bai Man said in the same indifferent tone.

“Fourth Sister-in-Law, rest assured, I won’t fight with you for Fourth Brother. He loves you, and I know that.”

“I didn’t mean that. I just think studying abroad would be more beneficial for your future. Moreover, I’ve discussed this with your Fourth Brother. He also thinks that it would be better for you to study abroad.”

Hearing the last sentence, Xu Chaomu paused, not speaking for a long time.

“If you’re willing, I can have Xiaofeng make the arrangements right away.”

“Fourth Sister-in-Law, I can manage my own life. There’s no need for you to worry.”

“I’m just offering you a great opportunity. If you don’t want it, let it be,” Bai Man’s face looked a bit displeased.

“Yes, I don’t want it,” Xu Chaomu replied firmly, her face showing her stubbornness.

Why should they arrange her life for her? She didn’t want that.

“Suit yourself, but let me tell you, don’t keep thinking about Shen Chi. He and I are about to get married. We’ve already registered our marriage. We’re legally husband and wife,” Bai Man stated.

“I’m not interested in your man. Take good care of him yourself,” Xu Chaomu retorted lightly.

“He loves me, and I believe him. I just need to sweep away any fox spirits that come knocking at his door,” Bai Man said with a sting in her voice, and Xu Chaomu felt extremely uncomfortable.

No one had ever called her a “fox spirit.” She was not a fox spirit.

She knew that after learning Shen Chi was getting married, she had never bothered him again. Why would they call her a fox spirit?

“Fourth Sister-in-Law, I don’t know what you mean by that. I’m not competing with you for Fourth Brother. Why are you so insecure?”

“Chaomu, did I say you? There are no shortage of women in the Shen Group who covet your Fourth Brother. You’re so nervous, could it be that I struck a nerve?”

“Fourth Sister-in-Law, I don’t want to argue with you.”

“Actually, everyone in the Shen Family knows you like Shen Chi. Even though he is getting married, you still stick to him. Tell me, why do you like someone else’s husband so much?”

“Fourth Sister-in-Law, did you come here to argue with me? Since you’ve said it yourself, your husband loves you most, why are you still fixating on me?”

“Men are creatures with no self-control. I have to be on my guard against those little fox spirits who try to climb into other people’s beds every day,” Bai Man said with a sneer.

“Fourth Sister-in-Law, do you really trust your husband so little? My room is just a wall away from his. If I could climb over, would I have not managed to do so in eight years? It shows just how much he loves you.”

Xu Chaomu knew Shen Chi didn’t touch other women. He kept himself pure for Bai Man alone.

Even when he was drunk and kissed her, he never touched her.

“Xu Chaomu, of course I trust my husband, but I don’t trust you,” Bai Man said.

“Whether you trust me or not, that’s your problem,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently. “I’m going to sleep now, Fourth Sister-in-Law. Please leave.”

She had a good temper, calling Bai Man ‘Fourth Sister-in-Law’. If she were not in a good mood, she would directly call her “Bai Man” by her full name.

“By the way, why did you come back to the Shen’s?” Bai Man said disdainfully.

“I just came to get some things, Fourth Sister-in-Law. Don’t forget, you’re not yet married into the Shen Family.”

“Well, Xu Chaomu, don’t forget that you have no relationship with the Shen Family at all. I heard that my husband even completed the annulment of the adoption with you? It was a bit heartless, but it also put an end to any little hopes you might have.”

Bai Man’s face didn’t show the slightest sign of discomfort as she spoke. If she could get Xu Chaomu out before Shen Chi returned, then there was still a possibility for her and Shen Chi to reconcile.

Sure enough, Xu Chaomu’s face changed, a sour feeling spreading across her chest.

Yeah, he had even processed the notarization with her, and it was more than just being heartless…

Everyone said Shen Chi was cold and heartless, and on the matter of the notarization, Xu Chaomu had thoroughly experienced that.

He must have disliked her so much to have insistently taken her to do the notarization.

Eight years of affection, even if there was no love, there was still the joy of daily companionship…

He really was fed up with her.

Xu Chaomu stopped arguing with Bai Man, who was sharply on point.

“Fourth Sister-in-Law, you don’t have to worry. I won’t return to the Shen Family ever again.”

“You’d better keep your word. Ah, my baby just kicked me in my belly. You sleep; I’m leaving now,” Bai Man said.

After that, Bai Man touched her lower abdomen, satisfied, and left Xu Chaomu’s room.
