Chapter 583: 583: The CEO Shen Is Being Disliked

After finishing, someone released her hand.

People were continuously walking around, and Xu Chaomu’s face turned red. She glanced back and was about to erase those eight characters with a branch.

“Don’t move, wait a moment,” Shen Chi said, pulling her up by the hand.

He led her back about five or six steps, then silently gazed at the sea.

Xu Chaomu looked up at him, unsure of what he was planning to do.

Just then, another wave came crashing in from the distance. The wave drove the sea water forward, rushing towards the beach.

A few seconds later, the blue surf surged onto the sand!

All the people at the edge of the beach jumped and screamed as they ran backward, and the children covered their ears, hopping and skipping even more so.

With a swoosh, the wave caps, white as snow, assaulted the shore, coming swiftly and receding just as quickly…

After the wave, the beach was smooth, and the eight characters Shen Chi had written were no more.

It was as if nothing had ever happened…

However, Xu Chaomu felt a faint unease in her heart; she stared at the smooth beach, slightly dazed.

“It’s okay now, you can go play,” Shen Chi said to Xu Chaomu, using the tone he reserved for Niuniu.

“Oh, I’m going to buy some drinks,” Xu Chaomu replied, hiding the fleeting stupor in her eyes, her voice indifferent.

Shen Chi did not stop her, merely curving his lips into a slight smirk, silently giving his consent.

After speaking, she turned and walked towards the little shop outside the beach.

This beach had only this small store nearby, and Xu Chaomu hadn’t expected the business to be so bustling.

There was quite a line at the entrance, all buying stuff. Xu Chaomu had no choice but to wait outside; she just wanted to buy two bottles of drinks.

One for herself, one for Shen Chi.

Her heart would often skip erratically with pain whenever she remembered some unhappy matters.

Sometimes, she really wanted to treat Shen Chi as her husband, but alas, some things couldn’t just be forgotten because one wished to.

Compared to the night before last, her mood had calmed considerably, but deep down there was still a sense of suffocation.

By the time she bought the drinks after queuing, quite some time had passed.

Carrying a bottle of sweet orange juice in one hand and a bottle of grapefruit lemon juice in the other, she left the crowded shop and headed towards the sea.

The sand and gravel crunched under her feet; walking on the beach, enjoying the warmth of the sun, the gloom in her heart began to dissipate a lot.

But before she had even returned to the beach, she saw a beautiful woman with long flowing hair flirting with Shen Chi.

The beauty had her long black straight hair pinned up with a hairband, wearing a red bikini that accentuated her sensational figure. Especially in one particular area, it was heaving like raging waves, almost bursting forth. That slender waist could be encircled with just one hand.

Xu Chaomu narrowed her eyes, no longer eager to move forward.

Shen Chi, as a man, indeed seemed to have women hitting on him wherever he went.

She stood under a banana tree, inconspicuously opened a bottle of sweet orange juice, and quietly watched the show.

She knew Shen Chi didn’t like sour flavors and had intended to keep the tart grapefruit lemon juice for herself. Now she thought about it, it might be better to give it to him.

She saw the beauty constantly nudging closer to Shen Chi, her hands never ceasing small, flirtatious motions.

One moment she’d throw a coquettish glance; the next, she’d accentuate a woman’s most charming feature.

Tsk tsk, Xu Chaomu thought, sipping her orange juice while watching. If she were a man, she surely wouldn’t have been able to restrain herself by now; taking advantage of the wife’s absence to sneakily cop a feel.

Alright, she admitted, it was fortunate she wasn’t a man.

The woman laughed heartily, Xu Chaomu didn’t know why she was so gleeful; at any rate, there wasn’t much expression on Shen Chi’s face, as deep and still as usual, like calm waters.

It was quite cool under the banana tree, and the banana leaves rustled in the sea breeze with a “swoosh swoosh” sound.

Xu Chaomu stood there barefoot on the sand, leaning against the banana tree, watching the beauty flirt with her “husband.”

For some reason, she wasn’t worried at all whenever she saw someone trying to seduce Shen Chi.

She had quite a bit of trust in him.

This man, with his status and standing, could have any woman he wanted without difficulty, but he… he waited for her for a full five years.

A trace of bitterness spread across the tip of her heart. Why did he have to be Zhou Ran’s son…

She lowered her head and drew circles in the sand with her toe.

As she drew, she remembered the words he wrote earlier: “Promise you a lifetime, morning and evening.”

Now she, too, crouched down and, on a clean patch of beach, wrote his name with her finger: Shen Chi.

Shen Chi, Shen Chi…

She squinted, silently gazing at his name before her, as if it were the most beautiful pair of characters in the world.

The sunlight glinted on the grains of sand, making them twinkle and shimmer wonderfully.

Xu Chaomu was a bit entranced as she looked on, ignoring the passersby around her.

Five years ago, she always liked to write her name beside his after jotting down his name.

As a child, she used to think that writing names together meant they could be together forever…

As she grew older, she no longer held such naive notions.

Her finger lifted, ultimately not daring to write her own name beside his…

In this lifetime, perhaps the one to accompany him to the end would not be her…

“Mumu.”

Just as she was lost in thought, Shen Chi walked over from the seaside.

Xu Chaomu hastily reached out, smoothing over his name, erasing every trace.

“What were you writing? Afraid I would see?” Shen Chi came to her side.

Xu Chaomu stood up, acting nonchalant, “Nothing.”

“You bought me a drink?”

“Hmm, this is for you.” She extended her hand, offering him the bottle of grapefruit lemon juice.

“Little rascal, you clearly know I don’t like sour stuff.” Shen Chi glanced at it but didn’t take it.

“That’s the only bottle, take it or leave it.”

Suddenly, Shen Chi snatched the bottle of sweet orange juice from her, which she had already drunk a small portion from.

He just grabbed it and unscrewed the cap, taking two gulps before Xu Chaomu could even attempt to snatch it back.

“I’ve drunk from it…” Xu Chaomu said, sounding aggrieved.

“Don’t worry, I don’t mind,” he said.

“But I mind you,” Xu Chaomu batted her large eyes.

“…” President Shen was disdained by this little girl.

While they were talking, the bikini-clad beauty followed Shen Chi and ran over.

“Handsome, we were having such a good chat earlier that means we have a connection. Give me your number, huh?” The beauty threw another coquettish look.

Xu Chaomu turned to look at Shen Chi, having a good chat?

Seeing Shen Chi not speaking up, the beauty probably thought he was a bit shy and suddenly pulled out a very small card from her bikini.

Xu Chaomu’s eyes widened, is that even possible?

The card already had a phone number written on it, the woman kissed the card, leaving a red lip print.

Then, she tried to stuff the card into Shen Chi’s hand, “Handsome, this is my number, let’s keep in touch when you’re free.”
