Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Wardrobe Malfunction

Xu Chaomu rolled out of bed and began searching.

On the bed, under the bed, even inside the shoes—she searched everywhere!

Her face anxious, she exclaimed, “Where’s my necklace? It’s valuable, worth eight thousand…”

“Another gift from your husband?”

Shen Chi, seemingly indifferent, searched along with her while asking in a bland tone.

Xu Chaomu nodded, “Yes, a gift from my husband. I’m so attached to it; I always wear it around my neck.”

Still so attached to it, Shen Chi couldn’t help but look down on her.

Well, it didn’t matter anyway. He had already thrown the necklace away, so it was impossible to find it now.

“Forget it, it’s probably lost. I’ll give you another one; don’t be sad. It’s just eight thousand.”

“Just eight thousand? What do you know? It’s the token of love from my husband, priceless. Do you understand? Vulgar.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“A token of love? Only worth eight thousand? Your husband is really stingy. Why not come to me instead? You could pick from necklaces worth eighty thousand, even eight million.”

“Come with you? Are you sure you can give me sexual bliss?” Xu Chaomu curled her lips playfully.

Her charming big eyes blinked enticingly.

At first, Shen Chi thought she meant “happiness,” but given Xu Chaomu’s rogue nature, it was probably “sexual bliss” instead.

So, he moved closer, cornering her as she knelt on the floor searching for the necklace.

“How about… I give you some sexual bliss right now? If you’re not satisfied, you can return it.”

After speaking, Shen Chi’s hand reached for Xu Chaomu’s shirt buttons.

With a nimble flick of his long fingers, the top button came undone.

Her snow-white neck was immediately exposed to the air!

If it were any other woman, she would have slapped him.

But who is Xu Chaomu to compete with in hooliganism?

She smiled and hooked her arm around Shen Chi’s neck, “Boss Shen, you’re not picky, huh? I’ve been in bed with other men, and you don’t mind?”

Sure enough, Shen Chi’s expression grew cold, though he quickly regained composure, Xu Chaomu still caught the unusual look in his eyes.

He raised his lips into a smile, “Great, you have experience. No need for me to teach you.”

Dammit, what does he mean by having experience?

Xu Chaomu pushed him away, “I won’t bicker with you. I still need to find my necklace.”

“You’re still questioning if I can give you sexual bliss?” His eyes curved into crescents, brimming with amusement.

“You jerk.”

Xu Chaomu continued to kneel on the floor searching for the necklace, her skirt soon becoming a rag.

Wiping back and forth, again and again.

Shen Chi stopped searching, since it was vain.

He had thrown it away three days prior; where to find it now?

While Xu Chaomu knelt on the floor, Shen Chi’s gaze fell on the brocade box.

Xu Chaomu had already put the diamond ring inside; now, the sunlight coming in made it look particularly glaring.

He thought he should find an opportunity to throw the ring away too.

Dizzy from searching, Xu Chaomu lamented, “Where has my necklace gone? Could someone have stolen it…?”

Shen Chi, leisurely sitting on the sofa, simply observed her.

With the woman sprawling on the ground like a bear cub, Shen Chi’s smile deepened as he watched her through narrowed eyes.

The sunlight shone on her, and for a moment, he was transported back five years.

Back then, she would often be crawling on the floor searching for things: “Fourth Brother… I can’t find my eraser.”

“Fourth Brother, my watercolor pens are missing too.”

“Fourth Brother, my snacks are gone; did you eat them?”

Back then, she used to like crawling on the floor searching for things, not caring if it was dirty.

Now, Shen Chi watched her quietly…

Such a feeling was good.

A feeling he hadn’t had in the past five years.

Luckily, that feeling had returned now.

Well, when a certain little woman’s skirt lifted while sprawling on the ground, that feeling… was even better.

So, the man simply squinted his eyes and kept watching her.

Xu Chaomu turned her head, and her gaze met Shen Chi’s lecherous eyes!

She quickly adjusted her skirt, “Damn it, where are you looking?”

“I’ve seen everything there is to see,” shrugged Shen Chi.

This little woman, as always, was so dumb and cute.

Her reaction time, invariably slow.

He crossed his legs, lounging lazily on the sofa, just watching her.

“Get lost!”

Xu Chaomu snapped, throwing a pillow from the bed at him!

However, she strained her abdomen in the process, causing pain.

Clenching her teeth, she climbed onto the bed.

“Ouch, it hurts, my stomach hurts…”

“Let me rub it for you.”

Shen Chi approached, not taking no for an answer, and pulled her into his embrace.

Xu Chaomu was truly in distress, her abdomen aching intensely. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell from her forehead, turning her face pale.

Shen Chi held her in his arms, his large palm resting on her belly and gently massaging.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

Xu Chaomu, in so much pain she could barely speak, nodded vigorously.

Shen Chi held her tighter, his hand continuing the gentle massage.

“All this fuss over a necklace worth eight thousand,” Shen Chi said softly, his chin resting against her forehead.

Xu Chaomu had no energy to argue.

His large hand soothing her belly, the pain she felt started to ease.

A warm sensation rose from her abdomen as his movements became incredibly gentle.

“Feeling better now? Does it still hurt?”

Xu Chaomu nodded and then shook her head.

“Look at you, acting like a child who hasn’t grown up. How are you going to be a mother?” Shen Chi said flatly.

Lifting her eyes, Xu Chaomu wondered, was this really Shen Chi?

Had he not, just three days prior, fiercely wished he could tear both her and the child apart?

If she had had a knife in her hand then, she might have really committed a crime.

Shen Chi had come to terms with it; he couldn’t harm her child anymore.

Because, it was her child.

He was scared, afraid she would once again leave him…

This lifetime, how many sets of five years can one have? He couldn’t afford to waste anymore.

“Do you think our baby is a boy or a girl?”

Suddenly in a good mood, Xu Chaomu felt like chatting a bit more with Shen Chi.

“One of each, perfect,” he commented.

“I’m not pregnant with twins.”

“Then first a son, then a daughter.”

“What about your family? Did they have a boy or a girl?” Xu Chaomu’s eyes curved like crescents.

“Let me feel and find out.”

Shen Chi touched Xu Chaomu’s belly seriously; her flat stomach showed no visible bulge nor could the heartbeat of the child be felt.

“Stop groping me,” Xu Chaomu swatted his hand away.

Shen Chi looked particularly innocent, “I just want to see if it’s a boy or a girl.”

“You have no idea if your own child is a boy or a girl? A five-year-old of unknown gender?”

“Where do I have a child?”

“Five years ago, Bai Man was pregnant with your child, and you’re still pretending?”

“You really believe her? Only you would. Hopelessly naive, silly girl,” Shen Chi stroked her head.

Xu Chaomu suddenly choked up.

Five years ago, Bai Man wasn’t pregnant? Impossible!
