Chapter 0009 He Bullies Me

Muffled chaos erupted from the room, with Shen Yaoyao pressing her ear against the door, a schadenfreude smile hanging on her face while she muttered under her breath.

"Hmph! You filthy hooligan, acting all arrogant. Now you know just how formidable this lady is!"

However, after a few minutes, when all the noises inside the room had ceased, there was suddenly no sound at all.

The smile on Shen Yaoyao's face slowly faded as she listened intently once more. Still, she could hear nothing and couldn't help but mutter: "Why has that hooligan gone quiet? There hasn't been an accident, has there?"

Although she had been determined to give the other party a good thrashing, she had definitely not intended for anyone to lose their life. However, some of the traps inside the room were quite dangerous and there was a very small chance of an accident occurring.

"You filthy hooligan?"

She tried calling out, but there was no response from the room.

Shen Yaoyao's expression changed, and she called out, "You filthy hooligan, stop feigning ignorance. I've already seen you! How about it? Beg for mercy now, and I'll let you out."

Still no sound. Shen Yaoyao was thoroughly panicked and hurriedly opened the door.

"You filthy ho—mmph—"

A large hand emerged from the darkness, and before Shen Yaoyao could react, she found herself spinning, then harshly thrown onto the bed.

"You—let me go!"

"You filthy hooligan, what are you trying to do!"

"What am I trying to do?"

"Dare to set me up? Still thinking about killing me? Still want me to call you 'grandma'?"

Shen Yaoyao wished she could sink into a crack in the floor. Her large eyes, filled with spite, stared unblinkingly at Chu Ge. And just like that, two streams of clear tears rolled down from her eyes.

From a young age, she had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Adding to that her beauty, everyone around her treated her like a princess, worrying she might hurt herself even when walking. Even after arriving in Shanghai, under the care of Mu Bingtong, she still lived a princess's life.

He really had not intended anything serious, merely to discipline this lawless little witch. Now, seeing Shen Yaoyao's state, his raised hand couldn't help but gently fall.

However, as the two of them were having a stare-down, a door-opening noise suddenly came from downstairs, followed by Mu Bingtong's voice: "Yaoyao? Chu Ge?"

Minutes passed with no response, and Mu Bingtong couldn't help sighing helplessly, wondering what tricks the young girl was up to this time.

"Sister Mu!"

Just when Mu Bingtong thought they were both not around, Shen Yaoyao quickly ran down the stairs, throwing herself into Mu Bingtong's arms: "Wuwuwu—Sister Mu, you're finally back. That bad guy bullied me!"

Chu Ge followed her down, facing Mu Bingtong with an innocently honest expression: "Hehe, Bingtong, you're back."

"Yaoyao, what on earth is going on?" This guy is definitely not as honest as he appears, Mu Bingtong obviously knew this and asked directly after giving Chu Ge a glance.

"He... he..." The flour on Shen Yaoyao had already been washed off, her pretty face blushing red as she stammered, unable to speak clearly.

"Yeah, Yaoyao, you say I bullied you, but how exactly did I bully you?" Chu Ge followed up with a laugh.

Looking at the exasperatingly smug smile on Chu Ge's face, Shen Yaoyao wished she could pounce and bite him, but how could she possibly say something as embarrassing as spanking...

"Enough!" Being a smart person, Mu Bingtong could roughly guess the situation from the expressions of the two, sighing helplessly.

"I know you two have a conflict. Chu Ge, Yaoyao is a girl, and you're a grown man—you should give her some leeway! Moreover, we are in a partnership, and I hope you realize your place. And Yaoyao, you should be a bit more restrained!"

"But—" Shen Yaoyao was about to retort, but meeting Mu Bingtong's gaze, she could only lower her head and respond sullenly: "I know—"

With Mu Bingtong present, both of them toned it down a lot. However, after dinner, a disagreement occurred regarding who should do the dishes.

In the end, with both women agreeing, Chu Ge could only go to the kitchen while crying insidiously.

Perhaps because they were too tired from the day's events, both women chose to rest early in the evening. Chu Ge's room window was open, perfectly framing the moon in the night sky.

"Old man, I originally thought I knew you well enough, but later I realized, the more I know about you, the more mysteries you seem to have—what exactly is your identity?" Staring at the bright moon, Chu Ge's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

It must be said, the life of the wealthy is different; even the bed, of what material he didn't know, was very soft. Lying on it felt like nestling in cotton.

However, in the middle of the night, Chu Ge's bedroom door was gently pushed open.

Chu Ge's eyelids flickered, slightly squinting his eyes, just in time to see a figure stealthily slipping in.

The darkness couldn't block his vision at all, so he immediately recognized who it was as the figure entered.

"Hmm? What's she doing here?"
