Chapter 10

The Shen family's estate on the outskirts of the city resembled a classical European castle, with details so opulent that they could only be described as lavish.

Su Li herself is also a rich second-generation, but she couldn't help but marvel at the sheer extravagance of Shen Mo's family home. She couldn't help but sigh - Shen Mo's family is really wealthy.

As she imagined herself one day enjoying a life of luxury, funded by her domineering, soon-to-be CEO wife, her face grew hot with excitement. Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted when a ball suddenly hit her foot.

"Ah—!" Su Li, wearing high heels and completely unprepared, nearly lost her balance but managed to steady herself by holding onto the nearby wall.

Shen Mo frowned and addressed the culprit sternly: "Shen Mingzhu, take your ball and go back to your room!"

A plump boy who looked about ten years old rolled his eyes at them from a few steps away. "It wasn't on purpose! You shouldn't have been standing there."

"It's okay, it's okay." Su Li quickly tried to smooth things over, "I'm fine."

It was her first time in the Shen family, and she didn't want to leave a bad impression on anyone, so she looked at Shen Mo and asked, "Who is this kid?"

"..." Shen Mo was silent for two seconds, "Shen Mingzhu."

Su Li rubbed her nose awkwardly. "I meant, is he your...?"

"Hmph! I'm the future head of the Shen family!" the boy announced proudly, puffing out his chest.

He then commanded, "Hey, you. Go fetch my ball."

Su Li smiled, stooped down, picked up the ball, and walked toward him. "Here you go. Make sure to be more careful next time, okay?"

"Tsk!" the boy scoffed and rolled his eyes again. "Who asked for your advice?" He then muttered to himself, "I don't know why it went off target..." as he hugged the ball and disappeared around the corner.

Su Li returned to Shen Mo's side, wiping away imaginary sweat. "Whew, kids at this age really have energy to spare."

Shen Mo glanced at her. "He is not a good person, stay away from him."

Su Li blinked a few times. "He's your little...brother?"

"I guess so." Shen Mo nodded slightly and continued to walk inside with her.

The hallway leading to the main living room was lined with thick, crimson carpet, muffling their footsteps completely. During the day, the lights in the castle were not turned on, and the light shining in from the tall windows made people feel inexplicably depressed.

Passing by a suit of armor, Su Li turned her head to examine it, only to be startled as the same ball suddenly flew at them again.

But this time, it was aimed at Shen Mo who was next to her.

Su Li reacted quickly, holding Shen Mo and stepping aside. The ball slammed into the wall with a loud "bang."

Su Li looked at Shen Mo in her arms with lingering fear, still holding her protectively. "Are you okay? Are you not hurt?"

Shen Mo looked down and slowly shook her head.

Su Li turned and saw that same plump Shen Mingzhu peering at them from a distance, a sinister grin on his face.

She looked down at Shen Mo beside her. Though she couldn't see Shen Mo's expression, she imagined that, as a delicate Omega, her fiancée must feel helpless in the face of such malice.
