Chapter 588: 588: Let President Shen Hug You

“Are you very afraid of dogs?” Shen Chi asked with a deep voice.

The two young servants were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they immediately knelt down!

Shen Chi’s cold, icy gaze was fixed on them, making them feel as if there were blades on their backs, their entire bodies as if being pricked by needles.

“Fo, Four—Mister, we.. we were wrong… It’s our failure to fulfill our duties, it’s.. it’s because we didn’t take good care of… of Mister Shen’s wife’s dog…”

While speaking and begging for mercy, although Shen Chi had only said one word, they knew they were doomed!

In Waterside Pavilion, who would dare to provoke Shen Chi!

“Then what do you think should be done?” The look on Shen Chi’s face was as ominous as the sky before a storm in June.

Xu Chaomu stood by, holding Wealth, her head lowered as she quietly stroked the dog’s fur.

“Fo, Four—Mister, please… please spare us… We… we will resign on our own…”

“Yes, yes, Four—Mister, we’ll leave right now!”

They could already sense that Shen Chi’s face was looking very unpleasant, his tone cold and terrifying.

Resigning on their own might just spare them from disaster!

“Do you really think you can come and go from Waterside Pavilion as you please?” Shen Chi’s tone became even more indifferent and harsh.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Four—Mister, we were wrong, we really were wrong… Please, let us go… ” The two began to kowtow.

They kept kowtowing while begging Shen Chi for mercy.

It was already very quiet outside; at this moment, the thudding sound of their kowtowing was particularly harsh.

“Four—Mister, please let us go…”

“Four—Mister, it’s our immaturity… We will apologize to Mister’s wife, we apologize…”

While they kowtowed and saw that Shen Chi did not react, one of them even crawled to Xu Chaomu’s feet.

Xu Chaomu’s visits to Waterside Pavilion were few and far between, but they all knew that Chaomu was kind-hearted, sometimes quite naive, and particularly easy to talk to.

In fact, it was because of this that they had dared to take out their frustration on Chaomu’s dog just now.

The younger maidservant was obviously more sly; she crawled to Chaomu’s feet, wrapping one arm around Chaomu’s lower leg.

“Mistress, Mistress, I’m sorry, those words I said earlier were all nonsense, my mind was muddled, like I had been hit on the head by a door. Mistress, could you please forgive me this one time… You can hit me, scold me, and if you think I can stay, I will surely serve you with all my heart and effort from now on…”

Xu Chaomu remained silent, just holding her dog.

However, she felt uncomfortable with someone hugging her leg.

Never before had anyone kowtowed or begged at her feet like this.

Even when she was at her wits’ end in Paris, preferring to starve, she wouldn’t lose her dignity like this.

If it had been before, she might have softened her heart…

But today, she didn’t really want to say anything.

Seeing that Xu Chaomu still remained silent, the maidservant began to cry and beg again.

“Mistress, I am no human, you have been so good to me, yet I even cursed your dog. Mistress, I was wrong, I was truly wrong. Please give me another chance, from now on I will treat your little dog well… Mistress…”

The night was quite at Waterside Pavilion; only the fountain’s undulating sound could be heard outside.

The maidservant’s crying was sharp, particularly striking in the quiet of the night.

Xu Chaomu frowned slightly, her expression unchanged.

Shen Chi walked over with a dark expression on his face, lifted his foot, and kicked the maidservant aside!

His kick was not light; the maidservant cried out “Aiyo”, immediately arching her eyebrows in pain, clutching her chest and rolling on the ground.

“Four—Mister, Four—Mistress, please let us go this time…”

They had dared to complain only when Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu were out, not expecting them to return so early.

And now, Shen Chi had heard them. They were certain they would not end well this time.

Xu Chaomu stepped back a few paces, not looking at them, just holding the little dog and gently stroking it.

As for Shen Chi, his demeanor was indifferent and haughty, as if a sovereign from on high, looking down at the two maidservants on the ground.

“Someone come.” Shen Chi’s cold command rang out.

Upon hearing Shen Chi’s order, two male servants hurried over: “Four—Mister.”

“Since they dislike dogs so much, lock them up with a pack of dogs; let’s see if they can develop some affection,” Shen Chi commanded, his face dark.

The maidservants’ complexions instantly changed; being locked up with a pack of dogs, would they still have their lives?

They crawled to Shen Chi’s feet: “Four—Mister, don’t, please, you can put us to work as cattle or horses, but please spare us this once…”

“Still not taken away?!” Shen Chi coldly commanded, his eyes deep and somber.

“Yes, Four—Mister,” the two male servants obeyed the order, bent down, and dragged the maidservants by their arms out.

“Four—Mister, Four—Mister, please, spare us…”

“Four—Mistress, you have a kind heart, could you please plead for us? We don’t want to die yet…”

The two pleaded bitterly, but soon their voices grew fainter and were gone…

As they were dragged away, the little dog became noticeably uneasy in Xu Chaomu’s arms and let out two “woof woof” cries.

“Be good, Wealth, it’s alright,” Xu Chaomu said, touching its head, soothing it.

Wealth calmed down after hearing Xu Chaomu’s gentle voice and nestled quietly in her arms.

Shen Chi walked towards her; under the light, his cold expression had faded away, and he sighed softly, reaching out his hands.

“Let me hold him.”

Xu Chaomu looked at him and handed Wealth over. She knew that, after all, pregnant women shouldn’t play with pets for too long.

The dog was shy; when Xu Chaomu tried to pass it to Shen Chi, it desperately burrowed into her arms, unwilling to come out.

Xu Chaomu laughed: “Be nice, Wealth, let the big CEO Shen hold you for a moment. He will buy you lots of tasty food and beautiful clothes.”

The dog refused to listen, its paws clinging to Xu Chaomu, unwilling to let Shen Chi hold it.

“Really not giving face, I am going to throw you out to someone else,” Shen Chi said as he touched the little dog, feigning a stern face.

The dog seemed to understand, hugging Xu Chaomu even tighter, utterly unwilling to let go.

Xu Chaomu smiled happily, coaxing it by tugging at its paws, “Let’s allow big CEO Shen to hold us for a bit, okay? Otherwise, he really will throw you out…”

After that, Xu Chaomu handed Wealth over to Shen Chi again.

This time, the dog did not resist, but it did “woof woof” twice in protest.

Shen Chi held the dog, his eyes showing warmth.

This little dog was indeed very small, no wonder Xu Chaomu said it hadn’t grown much despite having it for several years.

Indeed, this dog was not of any prestigious breed, with its yellow fur and shiny black eyes, a common sight on the streets.

As Shen Chi held the little dog, Xu Chaomu tilted her head to look at him. Shen Chi, standing under the light, was extremely handsome.
