Xiaopu indeed had been guarding Shen Chi on the cruise ship; he had taken care of all the formalities after receiving the call from the driver.

The driver had also specifically instructed him that Shen Chi was injured and that the wound must not be infected.

Therefore, Xiaopu had also prepared some medication.

“Mr. Shen, this is the first-class cabin, you can rest assured staying here, I will keep an eye on the surroundings at all times.”

“Mm.”

Soon enough, Xiaopu had sorted out the suite for Shen Chi. It was spacious and clean—just by opening the window, one could see the deep and boundless ocean.

The sea breeze was a bit briny, blowing through the window, refreshing. Inside the room was the sweet scent of orange essential oil, making the whole environment comfortable.

But Shen Chi could not settle down at all. He stood at the window, his profound gaze cast upon the sea.

Under the night sky, the sea was dark, only the hidden surges of the waves could be seen. The cruise ship’s hull violently collided with the water, producing a deafening noise.

His eyelids kept twitching, and a subtle pain kept gnawing deep in his chest.

“Mumu, Mumu you mustn’t have any trouble, you need to wait for me to return.”

He placed the doll that was brought to South Africa by the window, letting it watch the sea alongside him.

With it by his side, it was as if Xu Chaomu was there with him.

Xu Chaomu, also cute and silly like the doll.

Her voice kept circling in his head—the sweet, mellow voice, sweet as the freshly hand-rolled green dumplings of spring, melting one’s heart.

“Fourth Brother, I can’t solve this problem.” “Fourth Brother, biology is so hard, I don’t understand.”

“Xu Chaomu, how could you be so dumb?”

“‘A red color will take red, a black color will take black.’ I used to be so smart, but since I’ve known you, I’ve become dumb.”

“You sure have a lot of excuses.”

“Fourth Brother, are you going to teach me or not? Look, so many biology questions, I can’t solve a single one!” Xu Chaomu even looked quite smug.

“I’ve taught you hundreds of times, and you still can’t get it; you might as well stop studying.”

Shen Chi knew all too well her little tricks. Every time he taught her homework, she would sneak peeks at him, her mind obviously not on studying!

Xu Chaomu became unhappy, edging closer to him with a smile up to no good: “Fourth Brother, biology is actually easy to learn, I have a way, but you have to make a sacrifice.”

Shen Chi knew she couldn’t say anything nice, his thin lips parting lightly: “Get lost.”

“Come on, come on, Fourth Brother just make that sacrifice, for your sister’s brilliant future, for your sister’s bright prospects… ”

Before she could finish, Xu Chaomu cuddled up to him, her little hand mischievously reaching for the buttons on his shirt.

Her large eyes gleamed, as if wishing they came equipped with X-ray vision.

Shen Chi immediately shook off her hand and picked her up by the collar to throw her out: “Xu Chaomu, behave yourself!”

After that, he threw out all her homework as well.

Xu Chaomu blinked her large eyes in aggrievement, picking up the books from the ground with a sense of injustice.

In the end, she would pout, unresigned: “Taking a glance wouldn’t hurt, so stingy, not considering your sister’s education at all.”

Back then, Shen Chi was always left speechless by her infuriating ways.

Thinking of her, Shen Chi standing by the window reached down and touched the head of the silly doll.

Its furry hair, just like hers in every way.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t her, she wasn’t by his side…

In South Africa, it was ten o’clock at night, while in C City it was already six in the morning.

C City’s sky was already bright, birds chirping cheerfully. The sun was not up yet, only large, drifting white clouds were in the sky.

At this time, Shen Shihan had finished breakfast. He did not return to the Shen Family home but stayed in his own villa.

He hadn’t expected Mo Shuifu to be up early, and now she was smashing things again in a flurry.

She had smashed everything smashable in her room, and it seemed now she was onto the crockery.

Helpless, Shen Shihan, ready to leave, had to turn back.

As he turned the doorknob, right then, a shard of porcelain flew towards him.

He dodged it, shaking his head at the chaotic mess on the floor.

Mo Shuifu, wearing only a nightgown, heard the door and threw the last bowl in her hand towards him.

“Shen Shihan, let me out!”

The bowl shattered, Shen Shihan dodged, and it did not hit him.

He avoided the broken pottery on the ground and approached Mo Shuifu.

“I will let you go, but not now,” he said somberly.

The curtains were not pulled, the lights not on; the room was very gloomy at this moment. He glared at her eyes, unwilling to give in.

He had kept her confined to this room all these days. If he could let her go, he definitely would, but he couldn’t.

Mo Shuifu’s eyes were red and swollen, appearing as if she had cried. Her hair was undone, cascading over her shoulders, she looked very haggard.

Shen Shihan knew, these many days, if he hadn’t forced people to feed her, she probably would have starved herself to death by now.

“Where is Chaomu? What did you do to her?” Mo Shuifu asked.

“I won’t harm her, she is safe with Zhou Peitian; there won’t be any problems.”

“Why would you treat Chaomu that way? Shen Shihan, do you not have a heart?”

“Get some rest, and don’t ask about the rest. I have promised to let you go, and I won’t break my word,” Shen Shihan’s voice carried endless sorrow.

He actually wished to be with her day and night, but the truth was, they were drifting further and further apart.

“I want you to let me go now.”

“That’s impossible,” Shen Shihan stood firm, unyielding.

“Then let me see Chaomu!”

“That’s also impossible.”

“Shen Shihan, do you know that doing this, Chaomu will hate you for life!”

“Breakfast is downstairs, remember to eat; if you’re too lazy to move, I’ll have them bring it up to you.”

Shen Shihan avoided the topic; he knew, for the rest of his life, Xu Chaomu would hate him.

“She called you Third Brother for eight years, Shen Shihan, is your heart made of stone?”

“Rest well, call me if you need anything.”

Shen Shihan turned to leave.

Just then, Mo Shuifu suddenly bent down, picked up a sharp piece of broken ceramic from the floor, and quickly approached Shen Shihan!

“Shen Shihan, if you don’t let me go today, I will die before your eyes.”

Suddenly, Shen Shihan’s pupils constricted, and he anxiously took a step forward: “Shui Fu, don’t do anything rash!”

“I won’t do anything rash, I just want you to keep your promise and let me go!”

“Shui Fu, you promised me you would stay healthy and alive,” Shen Shihan stared at her, fearful that if he wasn’t careful, she would slit her wrists.

“I did promise you, but the premise was that you would let me go. But you haven’t done that.”

“Then I promise you, in at most five days, I will let you go.”

“No, I want it now!”

The sharp piece of ceramic crept closer to Mo Shuifu’s wrist, the pointy edge seemingly ready to pierce the skin the moment a bit more pressure was applied, ready to spurt out blood!
