Chapter 570: 570: Your Husband is Worth Ten Men

“Shen Chi…” Xu Chaomu continued pulling at his sleeve, “Do you admit you have many flaws? A heart smaller than a needle, always holding grudges, and such a temper. Tell me, with you being like this, you might lead my baby astray in the future.”

She really didn’t know if the little one in her belly would inherit his traits. If they did, wouldn’t that be miserable for her?

If both the big one and the little one ganged up against her, would she even have a way out?

“Are you despising me?” Shen Chi turned his head and looked at her seriously.

He actually got despised by this girl…

Only she dared to despise him…

“Uh…” Xu Chaomu was at a loss for words. She did despise him quite a bit, but she, dare, not, say.

“Remember, only I have the right to bring up divorce, don’t you even think about leaving me!” Shen Chi said coldly.

“Oh, so you mean, it’s okay for you to dump me, but not for me to dump you?” Xu Chaomu translated.

“Pretty much.” Shen Chi’s tone was domineering, leaving no room for her slightest doubt!

Xu Chaomu was indignant – it was like this that she had been enslaved by Shen Chi for thirteen years!

“Eat!” Shen Chi didn’t give her a chance to speak, stuffing a small meatball into her mouth.

Xu Chaomu obediently swallowed, mainly because someone didn’t give her a chance to spit it out.

The meal went peacefully for both of them.

After they finished eating, Shen Chi asked indifferently, “Where is the divorce agreement?”

“Burned it.”

“Oh.”

Xu Chaomu turned her head and saw, as expected, a look of contentment on someone’s face that was utterly unflappable.

After a pause, she decided to continue being honest with him.

“Shen Chi, when they asked me to sign the agreement, actually, it wasn’t for nothing. They promised to give me a benefit,” Xu Chaomu said nonchalantly.

“A benefit? How much? Ten million or a villa?”

“You guess.”

“The position of the fourth young mistress of the Shen family is priceless,” Shen Chi said as he sat on the sofa, wrapping his arms around her waist, his smile as warm as the spring breeze.

“That’s what I thought too. If I didn’t sign, maybe you would give me even more money, right?”

“No money, but lots of love.”

“What’s the use of love? Can it be eaten like food? Can it buy clothes? Can it charm handsome guys?”

“It can make you sleep more soundly at night… if you are willing, I can ‘love’ you ‘deeply’ every night…”

Damn it!

Xu Chaomu suddenly realized what “love” Shen Chi was referring to!

Damn, does he feel uncomfortable if he doesn’t act like a hooligan for a day?

“Hmm? You haven’t told me yet, what benefit did they offer you?” Shen Chi asked.

“The benefit they offered was quite tempting to me,” Xu Chaomu said, lowering her head.

“Let’s hear it.”

Shen Chi was curious. What kind of terms could make Xu Chaomu tempted?

“They promised me ten young hunks, the kind that look thin in clothes but are all muscle underneath…” Xu Chaomu said deliberately, a blush creeping across her face.

It was as if, right at that moment, there were indeed ten young hunks lined up in front of her to choose from.

“One husband like me is worth ten, especially… at night,” Shen Chi said shamelessly.

Damn it! Xu Chaomu was furious. When it came to shamelessness, that guy still outdid everyone!

“Tonight, do you want to try?” Shen Chi teased in a low whisper in her ear, his hot breath causing her face to turn beet red.

“Get lost!”

“Shy? Hmm? Weren’t you the one who said last night that you wanted to ‘take care of my needs’?”

Xu Chaomu mimicked his tone, “Is that so? I don’t remember.”

“Keep talking, what were the terms they offered?” Shen Chi said.

“Not much,” Xu Chaomu paused, “just that if I signed the divorce agreement, your father would sign your name on the company authorization and hand over the Shen Group to you.”

Shen Chi’s eyes immediately narrowed – the company authorization… that was it indeed.

How coincidental that he had just “discussed” this matter with his father at the summer resort that afternoon.

“I don’t want you to lose the Group, I know you work diligently day in and day out, it’s all for the Shen Group to do better, right?”

“So, you were planning to sign it from the beginning?” Shen Chi pondered her tone.

“Yeah, at first I almost signed it without thinking. Do you wish I had signed it?” Xu Chaomu blinked as she asked.

“Xu Chaomu, are you stupid?” Shen Chi was angry.

All those years of training her, and her IQ is still not one-tenth of his!

“Why am I stupid? Your father was really planning to sign the authorization.”

“Then why didn’t you sign the divorce agreement in the end? Hmm?” Shen Chi asked lightly.

“Because I’m lazy, and writing my name is hard.”

Xu Chaomu grinned at Shen Chi, her pearly white teeth sparkling, looking just like she did when she was a child.

Shen Chi laughed too. That reason – if he believed that, wouldn’t he have the same IQ as Xu Chaomu?

In any case, he didn’t plan on pressing Xu Chaomu for answers. He thought, maybe… it was because Xu Chaomu couldn’t bear to part with him?

He was always so confident, better to be confident than pessimistic.

“Chaomu, my father will no longer sign my name on the authorization in the future,” Shen Chi said with a serious face.

Xu Chaomu believed him and immediately turned around, climbing onto him with a serious expression as well.

She looked into his eyes – deep and endless like a dark pool, it really seemed like he was serious.

“Is it because of me? I didn’t mean to. If you lose the Shen Group because of me, I’ll feel guilty…” Xu Chaomu was genuinely remorseful.

She had taken a gamble at the time. If he really lost the Group because of her, she would rather have signed the divorce agreement.

“Mumu, why are you so easy to fool?” Shen Chi laughed, the seriousness fading from his face.

Xu Chaomu immediately realized, and angrily pushed him away, “If I weren’t so easy to fool, I wouldn’t have gone to register our marriage with you.”

“Mumu, let me tell you, listen carefully. The entire Shen Group is mine now; that authorization is nothing but an empty gesture. From now on, don’t be fooled by others.”

“If that’s the case…” Xu Chaomu’s guilt disappeared.

“Yes, I’ve also said it just now, only I have the right to mention divorce, you must not think of leaving me. So, no matter what others say, you mustn’t take it seriously!”

“Oh, you’re so good-looking, everything you say must be right.”

“…” Shen Chi was at a loss for words.

He was speaking to her seriously, and there she was, brushing him off.

He hugged her tight, not letting her budge an inch. Xu Chaomu didn’t struggle either. She just quietly hid in his embrace, drawing circles on his chest with her finger.

Five years ago, she had never imagined that one day she could be held in his arms like this.

Back then, she had to avoid him like the plague, dodging her every attempt to get close.

“Fourth brother, so tell me, was it right or wrong that I didn’t sign the divorce agreement?” She just wanted to hear him praise her a bit.

This man was so stingy with his praise; back when she got first place in a geography test, she hadn’t seen him praise her at all.
