âOf course, I want to see Butler Ling, but if he doesnât apologize to me, Iâm leaving! If he apologizes, I will go see Butler Ling. The multiple-choice question is for him to decide!â
Xu Chaomu retaliated, pointing her finger at Shen Chi.
Old Cheng was really choked up. Five years had passed, and Xu Chaomu was still the same, always at odds with Shen Chi.
In this world, probably no one else dared to be at odds with Shen Chi except for Xu Chaomu.
âFine, Xu Chaomu, letâs see how many steps you can take.â
Shen Chi was not someone to be threatened by others; he knew Xu Chaomuâs biggest weakness now was that child!
In the past, she could whimsically climb walls and leave on a whim, but now, heâd like to see how she could possibly leave!
Old Cheng understood the meaning behind Shen Chiâs words and stopped talking.
Shen Chi walked out of the garage without looking back.
âBastard!â Xu Chaomu clenched her teeth!
âMiss Xu, you should get out of the car. President Shen wonât do anything to you. Heâs tough on the outside but soft on the inside, donât take it to heart. Say a few nice words, and heâll naturally smile.â
âUncle Cheng, donât try to persuade me. Iâm leaving. I shouldnât have come today.â
Xu Chaomu didnât believe that both Shen Chi and Old Cheng could be so heartless.
Having said that, she got out of the car and, without looking back, walked away from the garage toward the Shen Familyâs main gate.
After five years away, she still knew which direction the main gate of the Shen Family was.
âMiss Xu, donât be rash. Youâre carrying a child, donât joke around with the childâs life.â
âIâm not being rash,â Xu Chaomu said indifferently.
Just as Shen Chi was about to walk into the Shen Familyâs living room, he looked back and saw Xu Chaomu actually daring to run away.
Xu Chaomu, youâre really something.
âMiss Xu, if you hurt the child, youâre going to regret it.â Old Cheng ran up to her and tried to persuade her.
âDonât worry, my child is not that delicate,â Xu Chaomu said unheeding, âI think he also doesnât want to see certain peopleâs cold faces.â
Old Cheng was at a loss, so he had no choice but to run to Shen Chiâs side: âPresident Shen, please talk to Miss Xu, this is no joking matter.â
âIf she wants to play games with her child, let her be, what does that have to do with me? I would rather her child didnât exist!â
Old Cheng didnât know what to say. Of course, Shen Chi didnât have much affection for that child in his heart.
What man could be that generous.
Butâ¦
While they were talking, Xu Chaomu had already run out of the Shen Familyâs property; the further she went, the angrier she became.
At that moment, Old Cheng suddenly thought of Lady Shen, and he became agitated, urging Shen Chi, âPresident Shen, think about Lady Shen. She miscarried a child back then, which left her uterine wall too thin, and she hasnât conceived since. If Miss Xuâ¦â
Indeed, Old Cheng saw Shen Chiâs fists slowly clench.
âPlease reconsider,â Old Cheng said.
âBecoming more and more indiscernible!â Shen Chi dropped a cold remark.
Having said that, he strode towards the Shen Familyâs main gate.
Xu Chaomu had already walked fifty meters away, moving slowly with one hand constantly on her belly.
The blinding sun hung in the sky, and not far into her walk, Xu Chaomuâs forehead began to glisten with sweat.
âBaby, were you frightened? Donât be afraid, Mommy will protect you,â Xu Chaomu said, looking down.
âBaby, shall Mommy tell you a story?â
âOnce upon a time, there was an old and ugly monk on a mountain who had eyes for a girl in the village below. The girl, ah, she was as beautiful as flowers⦠Hey, hey, what are you doing, let goâ¦â
Xu Chaomu was enthusiastically telling the story when her collar was suddenly grabbed.
âCome home with me!â a voice declared, its owner sporting a dark expression.
âIâm not going back!â
âGetting bold, are we? You really think I canât deal with you?â
âHow are you going to âtreatâ me? With insecticide or disinfectant?â
âDo you believe that Iâ¦â
âWhat do I believe? That youâve been deceiving me for a whole eight years?â Xu Chaomu interrupted him, raising her head to look at him.
Shen Chi was caught off guard by her bringing up the past, and he was suddenly at a loss for words.
âYou fool me once, Iâll never believe you again for the rest of my life. Because, I trusted you wholeheartedly, yet you used all your might to deceive me.â
Xu Chaomu sneered and shook off his hand.
âI had my difficulties,â Shen Chi said helplessly.
âDifficulties are just excuses,â Xu Chaomu replied coldly, âDonât blame me for bringing up the past, I only hope we can stay far away from each other in the future. I canât climb up to you, Iâm not worthy of you. Iâve long realized that, I was delusional before, and Iâve paid the price for my youth and ignorance. From now on, it wonât happen again.â
âDo we really have to come to this?â
âNo, I said before, letâs sit down and have a good talk. In the future, my child can still call you âUncle Four,â and your child can still call me âAuntie.â We wonât be too stiff with each other.â
âAre you determined to marry someone else?â
âI just want to live a peaceful life. I canât reach your circle.â
âAlright, stop being mad. Didnât you want me to apologize? Isnât it enough that I apologize to you?â
âYour attitude is really bad,â Xu Chaomu glanced at him and sneered.
âYou! Xu Chaomu, youâre pushing your luck!â Shen Chi was angry.
âI am pushing my luck, so what? You unhappy now?â
âFine, I was wrong, I apologize to you. I shouldnât have said those things to you today. Whatever the wife says is right.â
âWhoâs your wife? Look at you, thereâs no sincerity in your apology. Have you never apologized before? Proud Shen Si Shao [Fourth Young Master Shen], you⦠Hey, what are you doing, put me down!â
âYou talk too much!â
Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Chi frowned and scooped her up in his arms!
âA gentleman uses his tongue, a villain uses his fists. You start using force because you canât win an argument, are you even a man?â
âYou can have a feel and see if Iâm a man,â he said.
This man, when it came to dirty jokes, was always unaffected.
When making such remarks, he was as solemn as if reading a news bulletin, utterly serious and straight-faced.
âShameless to the extreme!â
âYouâve touched me before, why blush?â
âGet lost, will you!â Xu Chaomu exploded.
âLost? Rolling in the sheets?â
âGet lost, you jerk!â
âOh, so itâs still rolling with you.â
Compared to being shameless, Xu Chaomu always felt she was still reserved.
Soon, Shen Chi carried Xu Chaomu back to the Shen Family home.
Seeing this, Old Cheng finally walked away with ease.
In his eyes, there was nothing Shen Chi couldnât handle, including Xu Chaomuâit was just a matter of time.
Old Cheng had just left when Butler Ling rushed over from the kitchen in a hurry.
She didnât even know that Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu had returned!
As soon as she entered the living room, she caught sight of Xu Chaomu!
Tears swooshed out, âMiss Xu, is that you? Is it really you?â
Xu Chaomu hurried forward: âButler Ling, itâs me.â
âGirl, why didnât you come back for five years? Do you know how much Iâve missed you?â Butler Ling quietly wiped away a tear.
