Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Caring for Her Despite the Contradictory Words
From the time Ye Shu had memories, there was no companionship from her mother Su Mei, only endless disdain from her stepmother and grandmother.
But this didn’t prevent her from becoming Ye Zhongming’s beloved treasure.
When Ye Zhongming was alive, he truly wished he could give her all the beauty in the world!
Alas… he passed away so unexpectedly.
Ye Shu’s nose felt sour and bitter, with tears swirling in her eyes.
She placed her phone aside, pushed open the car door, and, not even caring that she was barefoot, ran all the way to Sheng Shaochen’s side.
...
Her little hand covered the trunk, straining hard to lift it up.
Sheng Shaochen paused his movements, turned his face toward her, and saw her stubborn little face turning red with effort as she struggled with the trunk, the emotions in his eyes turbulent and complex.
Sheng Shaochen’s brows furrowed deeply, “Who allowed you to come down? Get back in the car!”
The rain was pouring down, his voice carrying a hoarse roar.
However, Ye Shu acted as if she hadn’t heard, still focusing on exerting force.
“Ye Shu!” Sheng Shaochen really wished he could just pick her up and throw her directly back into the car.
Perhaps due to the great emotional fluctuation, Sheng Shaochen’s hand gripping the trunk suddenly increased its force.
The trunk was violently thrown aside.
Sheng Shaochen froze for a moment, then turned around, about to scold Ye Shu.
But Ye Shu faced him with a coquettish smile, wrapping her little hand around Sheng Shaochen’s arm, “It seems that without Mrs. Sheng by his side, Mr. Sheng can’t do anything right!”
The smile at the bottom of her eyes was so clear and pure it seemed to illuminate one’s heart.
Sheng Shaochen had a moment of distraction, and all the reproach was stuck in his throat.
Reaching out, he scooped her up in one motion, pulled open the car door, and tossed her inside.
With a bang, he shut the car door forcefully.
Then he walked around to the other side and jumped into the driver’s seat.
Quietly pulling out a cigarette, he lit it and took a deep drag.
His glance toward Ye Shu was poisonously sharp, as if wanting to burn her completely to ashes.
Ye Shu felt oddly panicked under his gaze, lowered her head, and fiddled with the dripping hem of her clothes.
Only now did she realize her abject state, feeling the cold sweep over her, causing her to shiver.
Sheng Shaochen pulled out a towel and slapped it on her face, “In the future, without my permission, you’re not allowed to show off your capabilities!”
Ye Shu took the towel, wiped her wet hair, and while looking at him from the corner of her eyes, a faint smile spread across her lips, “I thought only women were insincere with their words. I didn’t expect Mr. Sheng to be the same.”
Clearly he was concerned about her, so why put on such a fierce look and cause misunderstandings?
Sheng Shaochen frowned, somewhat annoyed, he rolled down the window and flicked the still burning cigarette out, then forcefully rolled the window back up, “Mrs. Sheng really likes to flatter herself!”
After that, he picked up his phone, shook it, but still no signal.
Sheng Shaochen glanced outside the car window, they were halfway up the mountain.
He and Guan Jiu had been to this place before, there was a spot with a strong signal, about a five-minute drive from here.
Sheng Shaochen casually placed the phone aside and started the car.
The car wobbled unsteadily as it climbed upward.
Ye Shu, while wiping her hair, pursued the question, “Do we have a signal yet? Did they send over the location?”
“If I say no, will Mrs. Sheng start crying again?” Sheng Shaochen kept a stern face, and it was unclear what was upsetting him.
Ye Shu bit her lip in embarrassment.
To be honest, hearing that Ye Zifeng was abducted had truly panicked her, and that’s why she’d lost her composure.
But after calming down, she immediately understood that fear wouldn’t solve anything. What she needed to do was think of a way to resolve the problem.
