Chapter 124

Back when Chu Cichen had glanced from a distance away, he hadn’t realized it. But as he came near,he discovered that there were clear signs of powder foundation on Shen Ruojing’s shoulder.

It was unknown why, but a hint of hope suddenly rose in his heart.

(Could she be…)

1

Just as this thought arose, she suddenly turned her head and lifted her eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”

Chu Cichen stayed silent for a moment before saying, “Nothing much.”

She had died.

He personally saw that explosion…

Was he drunk earlier? What nonsense was he thinking about?

Although she resembled her a lot when wearing the red dress and golden mask, it didn’t matter. Wasn’tit because Shen Ruojing resembled her that he had lost control of himself in the scheme against himthose years ago?

Chu Cichen faintly remembered that after he was schemed against those years ago, there was awoman who threw herself at him. However, he pushed her aside. After that…for some reason, thewoman suddenly became her, hence, he fell into a daze.

This was also why he didn’t immediately object back then when Lin Wanru told him that he had sleptwith two women that night.

So, he didn’t dare to have such hope.

He lowered his gaze and the woman’s voice rang out once more. “Why are you here today?”

Chu Cichen explained, “I knew Dugu Xiao would target you when I saw you wearing that attire…”

Shen Ruojing. “What do you mean?”

“What’s wrong with my attire?”

Chu Cichen pursed his lips. “Dugu Xiao has a fetish. He likes collecting beautiful women, and all ofthem are dressed in red and have to wear golden masks. They are all kept in his condo to serve him…”

“What?” Shen Ruojing’s eyes widened. After that, she cursed in rage, “Pervert!”

Did Dugu Xiao hate her so much?

3

He hated her so much to the extent that even after she died, he still found so many people toimpersonate her, so they could serve him. Was this done for the sake of humiliating her?

1

A hint of rage rose in Shen Ruojing’s heart.

Chu Cichen remained silent for a moment before adding, “Now that he has his eyes on you, he won’tgive up so quickly. Shen Ruojing, it’s best that you stay in the Chu Manor for a while.”

Shen Ruojing’s anger faded as she looked at Chu Cichen. A current of warmth then flowed forth fromthe depths of her heart again.

Although the Chu Family was the number one family in Sea City, their strength was still much weakerwhen compared to Dugu Xiao’s. However, he was actually willing to offend Dugu Xiao for her sake…

Shen Ruojing didn’t want to implicate him, so she said, “No need, he cannot do anything to me.”

Yet, Chu Cichen’s tone turned heavy. “His methods are ruthless. He even dared to get people to abductyou in broad daylight today. I’m sure he has found your address. So, it is better for you to move into theChu Manor, so I can rest my heart at ease.”

“…”

Shen Ruojing suddenly curled her lips and contemplated for a while. “Alright then.”

Dugu Xiao could be completely ruthless as long as he achieved his objectives. In this world, mostprobably only her and that person could control him. Since the Chu Family had offended him today forher sake, he would definitely not spare the Chu Family.

1

Since that was the case, as long as she stayed in the Chu Manor, she would be able to protect herchildren and the people of the Chu Family.

After seeing that she agreed, Chu Cichen heaved a sigh of relief.

Then the police car directly sent the two of them to the Chu Manor.

When the two of them entered the living lounge, Matriarch Chu was worried. “Why were you guysescorted back by the police? Is there some trouble?”

Chu Tianye also immediately grew nervous. “Mommy, could it be that you’ve done tax evasion?”

2

As his voice rang out, Chu Cimo, who had just woken up, involuntarily laughed. “How much incomecould your mother possibly have? How can she even tax evade? You should be asking this question toyour father!”

1

Chu Cimo was worried about Bai Shanshan, hence, he had been waiting at her home downstairs thesepast two nights. He would only come back to sleep during the morning.

And today when Bai Shanshan went up the stage, she basically didn’t tell this to Chu Cimo.

At this moment, he had just woken up and his hair looked like a bird’s nest. He rubbed his eyes andstretched lazily. “Mother, is there any food to eat? I’m so hungry. I still have to go out after I’m doneeating…”

Matriarch Chu immediately scolded him, “You only know how to fool around every night. Did you spendthe entire night playing games again?”

“What?!” Chu Cimo touched his chin. “I’m pursuing my white moonlight!”

Matriarch Chu suddenly grew interested and sat down opposite him. “Which family’s girl has caughtyour eyes this time? When will you be bringing her back home to see me? Don’t be the same as yourbrother and act recklessly outside. He doesn’t take responsibility for the girl and even has kids prior tomarriage!”

1

Chu Cichen, who was being scolded, simply ignored it. When he arrived on the second floor, hesuddenly instructed the butler, “Prepare a room for Miss Shen.”

As his voice rang out, Matriarch Chu’s eyes instantly shone.

She abruptly turned to look at Shen Ruojing before turning back to Chu Cichen. “Is Jingjing going tostay at our home? That’s good, this is something good!”

Shen Ruojing politely smiled. “Aunty, I will have to impose on you during this period.”

“What do you mean by that? I will only be happy if you stay! The number of females here is just toofew!” Matriarch Chu was extremely passionate. She stood up and instructed the butler, “Clean the roomnext to Little Meng.”

The butler nodded.

Chu Cimo suddenly moved closer to Shen Ruojing. “Hey, how is Bai Shanshan today? Is she okay?”

When Shen Ruojing thought of how Bai Shanshan got scared on stage, she sighed. “Actually, she’s notdoing so well.”

“Ah?” Chu Cimo was stunned. “What happened to her? Didn’t she grow slimmer today? But then again,it’s only to be expected. Your method probably can only allow her to see some short-term effects. Howabout this? You should stabilize her emotions while I look for a professional doctor to ask about fastand effective slimming methods! I remember that there are a few high technologies overseas we canuse. There is a method of freezing fats. I can go and investigate more…”

“…” Seeing how Chu Cimo did not trust her at all, Shen Ruojing counter-asked, “Didn’t you watch[Masked Singers] today?”

Chu Cimo. “I just woke up, how would I have the time to watch?”

“Go and watch it now.”

“Oh, okay.”

After Matriarch Chu finished with her instructions, she looked at Chu Cimo again. “When will you beinviting your white moonlight to our house exactly…?”

“No rush, wait a little while more.”

“Wait for what? How can you be so irresponsible to a girl?”

Chu Cimo casually spoke, “I’m waiting for her to get a divorce!”

“…”

“…”

The room immediately fell silent.

2

Chu Cimo finally discovered that his words sounded wrong, hence, he quickly rushed out. MatriarchChu angrily shouted, “How can you break up the marriage of others? Don’t tell me you are the thirdparty?!”

Chu Cimo ran as he shouted, “No, no. This is why I’m waiting for her to be divorced before I marry her!”

“…”

Upon learning that Shen Ruojing would stay in the Chu Manor for a while, the three children were allincredibly excited. The three of them kept staying in her room to help her with moving stuff. Finally, allof them lay on her bed and fell asleep with her beside them.

Chu Cichen could hear the lively sounds from her room just when he was coming down from his study.

His footsteps paused slightly as he subconsciously walked nearer. When he knocked on the door, heheard the woman within inviting him to enter. “Come in.”

Only then did he push the room’s door open.

Shen Ruojing was clad in a loose-fitting set of pajamas. Just when Chu Cichen entered, Chu Tianyelunged at her and directly tugged the pajamas, causing Shen Ruojing to reveal her shoulder.

Chu Cichen subconsciously wanted to avert his gaze, but the instant he saw her shoulder, he wasstunned!
