“Dad, Mom. ” Xue Chenkong passed the gift to the servant. He called out to his parents, but his eyes were fixed on the petite figure on the couch.

When Shen Guangsi and Qi Yingfang heard Xue Chenkong call them that way, they felt surprised by his affection. In the past, even if he stayed in the Shen residence every day, he would only stick to Shen Manting. He was generally indifferent to them and cold to everyone else except Shen Manting.

Shen Guangsi thought to himself, “This kid has really changed after he got married. In the past, he acted like a mute, but now he knows how to greet people. He even prepared gifts for us. He’s improved. ”

Shen Guangsi put on an act. “You’re not an outsider. Why did you bring a gift? ”

“My mother prepared it, ” Xue Chenkong replied honestly. He went to look for Shen Manting after he finished speaking.

Shen Guangsi and Qi Yingfang choked. They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as they shook their heads. “This child… He really doesn’t know how to say a single word of flattery. ”

Shen Guangsi thought of the words that others had ridiculed him with and suddenly felt angry. In fact, those people were not wrong. His daughter was so outstanding, and she was too good for Xue Chenkong.

The more Qi Yingfang looked at Xue Chenkong, the more satisfied she became. She felt that he really liked Shen Manting. As long as he treated her daughter well, Qi Yingfang didn’t care about anything else.

Xue Chenkong walked over to the couch and sat down beside Shen Manting. His slender arms naturally rested on the couch behind her. They had only not seen each other for a few hours, but he already wanted to hold her in his arms and love her dearly. He had missed her so much. As Xue Chenkong thought about that, he turned around and saw that everyone had left. He immediately put his hand on Shen Manting’s waist and pulled her into his arms. “Ah Ting, what are you looking at? ”

“Financial news. ” Shen Manting had already seen him, so she answered him naturally.

But in Xue Chenkong’s eyes, Shen Manting was giving him the cold shoulder. The fire in his eyes dimmed, and they slowly turned gloomy. Xue Chenkong followed Shen Manting’s gaze and looked at the screen. In the end, he saw a young entrepreneur in high spirits speaking with confidence…

Xue Chenkong narrowed his eyes dangerously, his hands slowly clenched into fists. A voice in his mind reminded him, “Ah Ting is looking at another man! ”

Xue Chenkong leaned over and whispered into Shen Manting’s ear, his white teeth gnawing at her earlobe. “Ah Ting, do you find him good-looking? ”

Xue Chenkong didn’t hurt her, but Shen Manting felt a chill run down her spine. “No. ” Then, she turned off the TV.

Shen Manting’s breathing quickened. She had been staring at the screen earlier because she had seen the man in her dreams!

When Xue Chenkong saw Shen Manting turn off the TV immediately, the hostility in his eyes intensified. Was she feeling guilty? The things she was hiding in her heart were related to the man on TV! Shen Manting didn’t notice it, but Xue Chenkong’s aura had become menacing. He even loosened his grip on her waist. Lowering his eyes to hide his emotions, Xue Chenkong got up and walked out of the door without a word.

“Xue Chenkong, where are you going? ” Shen Manting quickly called out to him when she saw him leave without a word.

Xue Chenkong ignored her and walked all the way to the garden of the Shen residence. When he saw that no one was around, he took out his phone and made a call.

On the other side, Xue Chenkong’s assistant, Ming He, immediately perked up at the call. “What can I do for you, Sir? ”

“Is Lin Li the chairperson of Golden Mountain Corporation? ” Xue Chenkong’s tone was cold.

Ming He was stunned. “Yes. Why are you suddenly asking about him? ” Lin Li had started his business on the internet recently and had no business dealings with them.

Xue Chenkong’s tone was cold. “Seven days! I’ll only give you seven days to make Golden Mountain Corporation declare bankruptcy. ”

“What? ” Ming He was stunned for a while.”You want to acquire Golden Mountain Corporation? But they don’t have a solid foundation and don’t have much money… ”

“Don’t you get it? I’m talking about bankruptcy. ” Xue Chenkong’s tone seemed to be covered in a layer of frost.

Ming He was shocked. How did Lin Li offend the CEO? However, he did not ask any more questions and simply accepted the order.

After Xue Chenkong put down the phone, his expression finally recovered a little. The anger from someone coveting his things had also been soothed. Whoever dared to covet Shen Manting would have to die.

Meanwhile, Shen Manting who had chased after him worriedly heard everything, and her face turned pale.

When she was young, she often had nightmares. At first, she would tell her family about them, but they said it was all fake. Plus, she was young at that time, so she believed it was just fiction. However, one day, she had seen with her own eyes how Xue Chenkong had ended her beloved little orange kitten’s life… From then on, she knew that it was not as simple as a dream. It was a warning about her future!
