Chapter 360: Chapter 360: I Want to Make You Happy
Seeing Shen Cheng’s obviously disappointed expression, Shi Yu also sat on the sofa, grasping her shoulder with his right hand, bringing her into his embrace.
"If you like parties, I’ll have one arranged and invite Qin Jin and Ye Zi, so they can chat with you."
Shi Yu rarely said so much to please a woman; he thought she would accept it, but Shen Cheng was unappreciative and became even more unhappy.
"This is not a party, it’s a gathering of friends and family!"
Shen Cheng struggled out of his grasp and turned her back to him, ignoring him.
"You might as well suffocate me."
Shi Yu’s hand touched nothing, and his face turned ugly; he suddenly stood up and turned towards the study.
Hearing his footsteps fade away, Shen Cheng felt stuffy in her heart.
Meanwhile, as Shi Yu went to his study, he kept trying to remember who had sent the invitation.
After thinking for a long time and still not recalling, he called Sun Yan to investigate.
Whoever sent this mess of things to make his woman envious is really asking for trouble.
At the same time, the big shot who sent the "mess of things" couldn’t help but sneeze loudly.
Shi Yu smoked a cigarette in his study, smoking very slowly; half of it burned itself out.
He looked like he was making a choice.
After snuffing out the last of his cigarette in the ashtray, he glanced at his luxurious watch—half an hour had passed.
Suddenly, he got up and walked briskly out of the study.
Wanting to see if Shen Cheng was sleeping well and if she had covered herself with the quilt, he returned to the bedroom.
Shen Cheng hadn’t changed her position since he left, still lying there motionless with her back to him.
She even thought spitefully that if she lay there alone, abandoned by him, it would break his heart.
Shen Cheng felt a bit annoyed.
She didn’t know why she was throwing such a tantrum.
It wasn’t until she thought about it that she realized she might have been spoiled by his pampering.
Seeing how she was as he entered the room, Shi Yu’s expression darkened.
He stepped forward, lifted her into bed without explanation, and covered her with the blanket, saying coldly, "Why aren’t you in bed?"
Shen Cheng rolled her eyes and looked away, ignoring him: "The sofa is cooler; I like it."
She was afraid that if she caught his gaze, she might forget that she was currently upset with him.
The two of them faced off in silence for a while, until Shi Yu was the first to give in, his brow tightening, "Go ahead."
As long as she was happy, everything was negotiable.
However, it took a good while for Shen Cheng to realize what he had just said.
After a moment’s jubilation, she felt a little guilty...
Had she been too unreasonable just now?
Shen Cheng tentatively poked Shi Yu’s face with her index finger, asking hesitantly, "Are you angry?"
Shi Yu remained indifferent, his expression still cold: "No."
His demeanor clearly said, "I’m very angry, don’t provoke me."
Shen Cheng slightly raised her eyebrows: "Or... maybe I won’t go?"
Shi Yu’s expression did not change, he seemed very composed.
He slightly relaxed his brows and looked at her seriously, his lips moving lightly: "Go."
He lay beside Shen Cheng, wrapping her and the quilt together in his embrace, resting his head on her neck, inhaling her scent.
A long time passed without him speaking.
Just when Shen Cheng thought he had fallen asleep, his cold voice came through the quilt: "If you don’t go, you’ll be unhappy."
His arms tightened, embracing her more firmly: "I want to make you happy."
