After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 96 - : As if she was shackled by his invisible chains
Chapter 96: Chapter 96: As if she was shackled by his invisible chains
“Today, you and An Zhe were plastered on the headlines—the media went wild, spreading rumors about your promiscuity! They even claimed that last night you lured two men, got drunk deep into the night, and said that on the night of your engagement to Gu Zuocheng, it was because of your affair that he changed brides…”
“Who stirred up all this mess?”
“Let me finish, that’s not the point! The point is, in less than an hour, the headlines were all taken down, and now the entire entertainment section is filled with public apologies from various major media outlets to you and An Zhe! It’s said that those media that put you and An Zhe on the headlines were severely punished. One of the magazines was even shut down, and the paid trolls were dealt with… Such tactics are simply too cool. In Jin City, you can count on one hand the people with that kind of clout. Ye Shu, you’ve got to spill the beans, who exactly did you hook up with?”
…
Ye Shu listened with her heart pounding and her eyes wide open as emotions swirled in her clear pupils.
“Ye Shu, Ye Shu, are you listening?”
“I’ve got something else, gotta hang up.” Ye Shu hurriedly ended the call and swiped open the entertainment section.
The top ten trending searches were all apologies from Jin City’s media outlets regarding the incident with her and An Zhe.
Ye Shu’s brows twitched vehemently.
In Jin City, there were only two people capable of this who were related to her—Gu Zuocheng and Sheng Shaochen.
But Gu Zuocheng would need the support of the Gu Family, which would never allow him to do these things for her.
So, the only possibility was Sheng Shaochen.
Ye Shu recalled the earnest way he had said to her—”It seems, Mr. Sheng has been spoiling you too much?”—and she had scoffed.
Yet now, she deeply felt the silent indulgence he had for her.
Ye Shu reached her hand to her left chest, feeling her heartbeat racing.
“Ye Shu, what are you doing here?” An Zhe’s voice came from behind.
Ye Shu spun around, only to meet Sheng Shaochen’s gaze directly.

There he stood before her, leisurely watching her, his azure eyes carrying an unfathomable glint that bore deep into her very soul.
She felt as if her eyes were about to be scorched by the blue light.
Hastily, she lowered her head to avoid his gaze.
Fidgeting with her handbag, the ‘thank you’ she wanted to utter seemed impossible to voice.
“Mrs. Sheng was going to return to a life of misery?” Sheng Shaochen took a step toward her, his tall figure enveloping her completely.
Ye Shu felt as if she was caught in invisible shackles, not daring to move an inch.
He leaned down slightly, his starry eyes half-closed, and his thin lips brushed against the shell of her ear as his husky voice, full of allure, rose, “Or is Mrs. Sheng waiting to ‘dive into the deep… and embrace the heat’ with Mr. Sheng?”
He uttered these four words with an especially ambiguous tone.
The underlying meaning, fully understood by the adult Ye Shu, hit her all at once.
Her porcelain-like skin flushed a delicate pink, as if set aflame with coyness.
Instinctively, she took a step back.
The lines on Sheng Shaochen’s lips curved slightly upward, and he stepped closer.
His unique sandalwood fragrance enveloped her, seeping into her nostrils, and the sensation of her heartbeat rapidly transmitted.
Ye Shu felt the space around her inexplicably tighten, with all her nerves on edge.
Taking half a step backward, her phone rang.
It was the taxi she had booked.
“I—I have to rush back and write a reflection…” Ye Shu turned around in flustered haste, almost diving into the taxi as if fleeing.
Watching her escape in such a disheveled manner, a smile wafted across Sheng Shaochen’s lips, and a touch of warmth spread through his usually frosty eyes.
Sunlight draped over him, making him appear as if gilded in gold, exuding utmost happiness.
An Zhe standing nearby was somewhat dumbstruck.
He had never seen Sheng Shaochen like this, and a man’s intuition told him that Sheng Shaochen had unwittingly fallen for Ye Shu.
