Chapter 19: Is the Super Short Skirt Beautiful?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Eight years later, Shen Chi formally took over the Shen Group.
He stood by the window, looking at the misty white fog outside, his gaze deep and distant.
He meticulously buttoned up his white shirt, adjusted his tie, and then donned his Italian custom-tailored black business suit.
The suit’s fitting cut accentuated his perfect physique, his tall stature, and his long legs. His chiseled face had sharp angles and deep contours, radiating a mature charm that was profound and enigmatic.
Just as he was about to leave, Xu Chaomu leaned casually against his bedroom door, blocking his way.
Her mischievous smile was enchanting; her beautiful eyes, brimming with allure, were full of unspoken seduction.
The eighteen-year-old Xu Chaomu was no longer the skinny girl she used to be, flat-chested and without a single ounce of extra flesh on her body.
Today, she had purposely changed into a low-cut, sexy white shirt; and the highlight was below—she wore an ultra! short! skirt!
With a beckoning gesture of her little hand, her large eyes fixed intently on Shen Chi.
“Fourth Brother, isn’t the miniskirt pretty?”
Xu Chaomu deliberately struck a pose.
Shen Chi swallowed, wondering how he had never noticed that the girl had a rather nice figure, with curves in all the right places and skin that was fair and smooth.
“Haven’t I said no short skirts?”
Shen Chi’s expression darkened as he gave her a cold glance.
“You said no short skirts, but this is an ultra-short skirt!” Xu Chaomu emphasized the “ultra.”
“Change it!” Shen Chi was authoritarian.
“Well, I guess that’s not entirely out of the question… Um… How about you change it for me?”
Xu Chaomu stepped forward, closing the door with her foot and looping her small hand around Shen Chi’s waist.
“Xu Chaomu, have you no shame?” A piercing cold gaze shot from Shen Chi’s eyes.
Over the years, his family education seemed to have been quite the failure. “Shameless? You’re not meeting me for the first time today.” Xu Chaomu Her soft, boneless little hand rubbed back and forth along Shen Chi’s waist; his body was in great shape, strong and sexy, irresistibly touchable.
Unfortunately, she could only touch him through his clothes, which made Xu Chaomu sigh deeply three times.
Shen Chi grabbed Xu Chaomu’s wandering hand, pushed her away forcefully. “Then I’m really going, Fourth Brother. Don’t regret it once I’m gone!”
As Xu Chaomu spoke, she began to step backward toward the door, her face sporting a malicious grin.
Little did she know, Shen Chi would grab her wrist in a flash, twist the doorknob, and drag her into her room.
“0w, let go, it hurts!” Xu Chaomu’s cries reflected her pain.
This man had never understood how to be gentle and considerate with women, and it seemed he still hadn’t learned; she had no hope that he ever would.
With one hand, Shen Chi pulled her along; with the other, he opened the wardrobe and rifled through it briefly before finding a pair of denim trousers.
Xu Chaomu was defiant: “Fourth Brother, you’re way too controlling. I won’t change, what are you going to do about it?”
If he had the guts, let him lose his temper and change it for her; otherwise, she was genuinely not going to change today.
“You won’t change, huh?”
Shen Chi’s grip on her wrist was chilling as he eyed her coldly.
Without another word, Shen Chi released her and started walking downstairs.
Xu Chaomu was smug with triumph, feeling that after eight years of honing her skills, she had greatly improved! Shen Chi had no way to deal with her anymore!
But why did it suddenly feel a bit cold?
Shen Chi tranquilly ate breakfast downstairs, with Shen Shihan also present.
“Good morning, Fourth Young Master!” The servants standing by bowed in unison.
He didn’t eat much, just drank a cup of coffee and ate a few slices of bread before leaving the Shen residence.
“Mr. Shen, are you taking Miss Xu to school today?”
The driver, Lao Cheng, waited respectfully outside; Lao Jiang had retired due to ill health, and now it was Lao Cheng who consistently followed Shen Chi.
“No, she doesn’t have to go to class today,” Shen Chi said as he sat in the passenger seat, his gaze stern.
“Ah? Isn’t today Wednesday?”
“Going to the group,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
“Ah!” Old Cheng didn’t dare to ask more, started the car, and left the villa. Xu Chaomu hummed a song triumphantly, organizing her small backpack.
But why did she feel it was getting colder and colder!
She sneezed, shivering all over.
Although it was early spring, the Shen family’s house had heating!
Why was it so cold, cold, cold…
She suddenly realized that Shen Chi, that bastard, had made someone turn off the heating!
She endured, endured, endured, thinking once she was at school, there would be heating there.
But when she went downstairs for breakfast, she found nothing on the table.
Several servants were busy tidying up, someone wiping a vase, someone else arranging chairs, but no one was serving her breakfast.
Of course, there was a chilly breeze throughout the living room.
“Butler Ling, is there breakfast?” Xu Chaomu approached a middle-aged woman.
“Miss Xu, I’m sorry, there’s none left.”
Xu Chaomu could guess with her toes who was behind this little scheme, but she endured, endured, endured. After all, there was plenty to eat outside of school.
“Oh, then I won’t eat. I’m going to school now, goodbye!”
Xu Chaomu slung her shoulder bag and walked out, but Butler Ling’s voice eerily followed.
“Miss Xu, the Fourth Young Master said you don’t need to go to school today.” “…” Xu Chaomu could no longer contain her anger!
It was just a miniskirt, for heaven’s sake! She had never even touched the hem of a short skirt in her life!
Was it that necessary?!
This incident once again confirmed the man’s pettiness!
If she admitted defeat, then she wouldn’t be Xu Chaomu!
She gave a wry smile, “Fine, if I don’t go, I don’t go. But please, do tell him that I’m preparing for my college entrance exams next year. If I miss a day’s lessons and can’t get into a good university, that can’t be blamed on me.”
“This…” Butler Ling probably felt Xu Chaomu had a point, hurriedly making a call to Shen Chi.
“Yes, yes…” Butler Ling was on the phone, receiving instructions from Shen Chi.
Xu Chaomu sat leisurely in the chair, and after Butler Ling hung up, she casually asked, “What did he say?”
“The Fourth Young Master said… said that even if you don’t miss a day’s classes, you… you won’t get into a good university anyway.”
Xu Chaomu was enraged, leaping from her chair, this was just too much, too much!
No one should be treated !
Xu Chaomu felt aggrieved, but with no solution at hand, she had no choice but to return to her room with her bag on her back.
To express her anger, she slammed the door with a “bang!”
The room was too cold, and Xu Chaomu, having no alternative, changed out of her miniskirt.
Poor her, for the first time wearing a miniskirt, she couldn’t even get out the front door. If Yu Weiwei and her friends found out, how could she save face?
Just yesterday, she had boldly bet Yu Weiwei that she would definitely wear a miniskirt to school tomorrow! Whoever didn’t wear it was a little dog!
Forget it, she’s the little dog.
She changed into jeans in front of the mirror with a sense of helplessness, and wrapped herself in an overcoat, finally managing to rid herself of the cold.
Having shaken off the cold, she began rummaging through her belongings to ward off the hunger.
Thank goodness she had the habit of hiding snacks; otherwise, in all these years, she would have been starved to death by Shen Chi long ago!
She really wanted to gather all the evidence, then take him to court for abusing a young girl!
