Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Is there a woman in Chapter 96?
To keep the conversation going, Qian Ke'er perked up, "By the way, Brother Shen, I heard that something went wrong at Young Master Xiao's wedding. The bride is missing. I just went to your old mansion. The First Madam wasn't in a good mood. That bride is really something, daring to mess with even the Xiao family. People like that should be torn to pieces if they're caught, don't you think, Brother Shen?"

Nan Wu, who was eavesdropping upstairs, felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

Only Qian Ke'er could say such vicious things. She was clearly taken away by the Xiao family, so how come she is guilty?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shen paused for a moment, then placed the tablet aside and glanced at her.

She clearly liked this man's aloofness and coldness, but when he looked at her like that, her heart skipped a beat.

Who had Qian Ke'er ever been afraid of? But here, she was inexplicably afraid.

"Everyone makes mistakes, does that mean we have to kill them all? Our Xiao family may indeed be incredibly powerful, but we haven't reached the point of being shameless and cruel!"

Conversely, does that mean she's a scoundrel and cruel?
Qian Ke'er was a little embarrassed by the rebuke.

"Fourth Master Xiao, our Miss Ke'er is just standing up for the Xiao family. It's not right for you to say such things..." Mu Sha couldn't stand it and stood up for her master.

Xiao Shen took a sip of coffee, glanced at her casually, and asked knowingly, "Who is she?"

Qian Ke'er, who was being questioned, didn't know what he was up to. "Brother Shen, have you forgotten? She's my female bodyguard, Mu Sha!"

Xiao Shen seemed to have just remembered, "Oh, so she's a bodyguard. Ke'er, how exactly did your Qian family raise her? She dares to interrupt her master, how can a mere servant be so arrogant?"

"I……"

“Brother Shen is right!” Qian Ke’er gave Mu Sha a look, and Mu Sha obediently shut down.

Fortunately, Song Hao brought out some juice at that moment, which eased the awkward situation.

Nan Wu covered her mouth and suppressed a laugh in her room.

That was so satisfying! Only Xiao Shen would dare to make things so difficult for a high-class young lady like Qian Ke'er.

As the saying goes, every creature has its nemesis; I never thought Qian Ke'er would have this day.

Qian Ke'er suddenly paused, her gaze suddenly falling on a pair of high heels in front of the shoe cabinet. Yes, women's high heels. She hadn't noticed them when she came in.

Now she was certain that there was a woman with Brother Shen.

That's right, she's here today to catch that vixen!

Her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched and unclenched. Qian Ke'er concealed her emotions and looked at Xiao Shen with a bright smile, "Brother Shen, this is my first time here. Can you show me around? It feels so much better than here!"

Nan Wu's heart skipped a beat.

Qian Ke'er has begun to take action!

She instinctively locked the door quietly from the inside and turned around to look for any place in the room where she could hide.

She will remain hidden as long as Xiao Shen doesn't expose her.

Xiao Shen was very agreeable this time. He raised his chin, and Song Hao stepped forward, gesturing for Qian Ke'er to come this way. "Miss Ke'er, please come this way!"

Xiao Shen wasn't angry that she didn't stay with him. After all, she had come to catch the fox spirit, and once she eliminated the fox spirit, Shen-ge would only have eyes for him.

Song Hao first led them for a walk around the courtyard, but Qian Ke'er was clearly distracted.

"Assistant Song, it's too hot outside, let's go inside for a walk!"

"no problem!"

The second and third floors were all covered with wooden floors, which made a crisp sound when you walked on them. When Nanwu heard the footsteps coming upstairs, she instantly became highly focused. She pressed her ear against the door and listened carefully to every move outside.

"Song Zhu, can I ask you something?" Qian Ke'er asked casually.

"Miss Ke'er, you're too kind. Please ask away!"

"Has Brother Shen been seeing a woman lately?"

Song Hao gasped, then gave her a businesslike smile. "Miss Ke'er, you'd better not pry into Brother Shen's private affairs. He'll be unhappy!"

It seems he doesn't want to talk. Xiao Shen's men are always tight-lipped, and Qian Ke'er was just asking casually, knowing she wouldn't get any information out of them.

Seeing that she wasn't going to press him further, Song Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Do you think it's difficult to be a big shot's lackey? You're always offending this person or that person. For the sake of the big shot's lifelong happiness, you have to keep your life on your belt every day, afraid of losing it.

"Wait, Song Zhu!"

"Is there anything else, Miss Ke'er?"

Qian Ke'er gestured to the door next to her, "I don't think we've seen this room yet!"

Nan Wu's last hope was shattered, and she was already thinking about how to handle her own affairs after death.

"Wait, Miss Ke'er!" Fortunately, Song Hao stopped her in time. "This room belongs to Brother Shen. You know he hates it when people trespass on his private space. There was a maid who didn't listen to him before, and he..."

Song Hao wore a look that said something indescribable.

This trick worked on Qian Ke'er, who immediately withdrew her hand.

Xiao Shen would naturally not do anything to her, but she didn't want him to dislike her.

The group went downstairs, and the second-floor corridor returned to calm. Nan Wu, who was covered in sweat from the shock, leaned against the door and slid off to the ground.

Qian Ke'er insisted on having dinner here, and Xiao Shen didn't want to kick her out. He wasn't afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that if Old Master Xiao found out, he would start nagging him like a mantra.

Dinner was Western food, delivered by the hotel. Qian Ke'er stopped eating as she ate, resting her chin on her hand and gazing at the man eating with adoration.

Xiao Shen is handsome, has beautiful hands, and even his manner of eating is graceful. He is silent and elegant throughout, like a posed photo shoot.

How could she let another vixen have a man like that? Who has the right to compete with her for him?

Suddenly remembering the woman he had hidden away, Qian Ke'er was filled with resentment.

"Brother Shen!" she mustered her courage. "Did you bring a woman back?"

The man paused, then slammed his chopsticks down on the table, indicating that he was angry.

"Miss Ke'er, you are just my guest, not my family, much less my lover. Aren't you being a little too concerned about my affairs?"

"But Grandpa Xiao..."

He interrupted her, and Xiao Shen left as soon as he finished speaking, not even glancing at her again, seemingly genuinely angry about it.

Qian Ke'er and Mu Sha exchanged a glance, and once they were sure he had left, they sneaked upstairs.

She didn't believe Song Hao's nonsense about Shen Ge's room. There must be a woman sleeping in there, and she was certain that woman was right there.

Qian Ke'er tried to push the door open and barge in, but after a few tries, she found it was locked from the inside.

Nan Wu had just finished eating when the sudden noise immediately put her on alert.

"I know you're in there, get out here!"

"Who do you think you are, to seduce my Brother Shen?"

"What, you're quite the charmer when it comes to seducing men, but now you're too scared to come out?"

"You'll regret it if you refuse a polite toast, don't blame me for not giving you face, Musa!"

At Qian Ke'er's command, Mu Sha kicked the door hard with a high kick.

The loud noise made Nan Wu's heart leap out of her chest. She clenched her fists and stared intently at the door.

Xiao Shen, Fourth Master, Boss, where are you? Come save me!

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
