Upon hearing Lindaâs name, Xu Chaomu wasnât very pleased.
She continued getting dressed and jumped out of bed, âI donât like Linda, get me a different mentor.â
âStop joking, Linda is a renowned designer from England, would she even teach you if it wasnât for my sake?â
âOh? Did you âsacrifice your charmsâ for that?â Xu Chaomu looked at him.
âA friend of a friend, thatâs all it is.â
âLinda is quite pretty, is she single?â Xu Chaomu asked with ill intent.
âSheâs getting ready to marry.â
âWith whom? With you?â Xu Chaomu laughed.
Shen Chi pressed down on her shoulders and glared at her with a warning expression, âTry talking nonsense again!â
Xu Chaomu glanced at the man, pouted, and nodded like a pecking chicken, âI wouldnât dare.â
The man in front of her had his robe half-open, revealing a sexy physique and a healthy skin tone; she swallowed and quickly averted her eyes.
That kind of man is toxic, canât be looked at.
Looking at him would cause one to lose reason, to lose control, to be temptedâ¦
After getting dressed, Xu Chaomu stood in front of the mirror to tie her hair back, while Shen Chi also changed his clothes.
âI have something to tell you,â Shen Chi said indifferently.
âHmm? What is it?â Xu Chaomu prepared to head downstairs.
Shen Chi, with his hands in his pockets, looked at her blandly, not speaking, just watching her.
Xu Chaomu sized him up and down, and Shen Chi raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
He was dressed in a dark-colored shirt, casually leaning against the wall with a detached expression.
Xu Chaomu had an itch to punch him; she really wanted to beat him up. Yet, she was also keen to know what he had to say.
Having no choice, she took a step forward, grabbed his arm, and tiptoed to plant a kiss on his cheek.
âMm.â As expected, the person hooked his lips in satisfaction.
âSpeak!â Xu Chaomu glared at him and commanded.
âYu Weiwei got married,â Shen Chi stated calmly.
âWhen? With whom? Whatâs the situation?â Xu Chaomuâs eyes widened in confusion.
What was this all about? Just last night, she and Nie Chenglang left Yu Weiweiâs house, and Weiwei had been sleeping soundly. How could she be married after just one night?
Xu Chaomu was baffled and looked at Shen Chiâs face suspiciously.
He seemed totally serious, not like he was lying to her.
However, after she threw three rapid questions at him, he remained indifferent, just calmly watching her.
So⦠Xu Chaomu leaned in for another kiss, casting him a disdainful glance, what a little schemer.
This time, Shen Chi finally told Xu Chaomu everything that Li Beiting had said to him that morning.
Upon hearing it, Xu Chaomu immediately thought to call Yu Weiwei!
âWait, donât tell others about this too soon,â Shen Chi held her back.
âI know.â She wasnât stupid. Li Beiting had just arranged his marriage with Mi Fei yesterday, and today he had already registered for marriage with Yu Weiwei. Of course, such matters must be kept secret, âHow many people know about this?â
Shen Chi shrugged, âLi Beiting, Yu Weiwei, you and me.â
âIâll keep the secret,â Xu Chaomu said, âWhy did Li Beiting change his mind? Had a revelation?â
âThat 65 million, did you think I was going to lend it to Yu Weiwei?â Shen Chi said lightly.
ââ¦â Xu Chaomu glanced at him and understood.
So, it was Li Beiting who had borrowed from Shen Chi. It turned out that Li Beiting had never really forgotten Yu Weiwei.
That time Yu Weiwei got so drunk that she ended up in the hospital with stomach pains, Li Beiting had said, âWhat does she have to do with me?â What on earth were these men thinking?
âAlright, letâs go down for breakfast,â Shen Chi took her hand without further ado and pulled her downstairs.
Every time they had breakfast, Xu Chaomu only needed to sit while Shen Chi would take care of everything for her.
Heâd pour hot milk, spread strawberry jam, and every one of his movements was smooth. He also knew clearly what she liked to eat.
Wealth ran over to Xu Chaomu as soon as he saw her come down, jumping out of the servantâs arms and circling around her feet.
Xu Chaomu fed him a bit of something tasty and watched him hop about.
âChaomu, have you thought of a name for the baby in your belly?â Shen Chi asked while eating breakfast.
âAh?â Xu Chaomu blinked, âItâs only been four months, we donât know if itâs a boy or girl yet.â
âOh,â was Shen Chiâs nonchalant reply.
Xu Chaomu glanced at him, sensing he had something in mind. She blinked and stole peeks at him surreptitiously.
Shen Chi continued his breakfast calmly, oblivious to Xu Chaomuâs gaze.
She smiled slightly, as if it were nothing, âWhy donât you come up with a name?â
As expected, he paused mid-motion and looked up.
The depths of his eyes hinted at something profound and mysterious as he glanced at Xu Chaomu. He then pretended it was nothing and continued eating, âOh, thatâs fine too.â
ââ¦â Xu Chaomu gazed at him with contempt, this proud and stubborn man, who clearly wanted to but pretended it was merely fine!
âThen I wonât bother CEO Shen. CEO Shen is very busy with a million things to handle. Wasting just a minute of your time is like wasting billions. Iâll think of something,â Xu Chaomu feigned nonchalance as well.
âNo!â Shen Chi finally spoke with authoritative sharpness.
Xu Chaomuâs lips twitched at the revelation, such a proud man indeed.
If he werenât so conceited, their child would already be old enough to fetch soy sauce.
âThe baby will take my surname, Shen,â Shen Chi said assertively.
âIf you transfer the Shen Group to him in the future, then Iâll let him have your surname, Shen,â Xu Chaomu joked.
Shen Chi frowned, âAre you serious?â
Uhh⦠Xu Chaomu looked up to see a layer of profound depth in his eyes.
Was it⦠just a joke to him, and he took it seriously? Xu Chaomu suddenly didnât know how to respond.
âWhatever you want, I can give you,â Shen Chi said calmly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Chaomu, seeing his furrowed brows, asked, âArenât you afraid Iâll cheat you out of your corporation one day and then marry someone else with your money? Fourth Brother, are you really not afraid?â
âIf youâre willing, then Iâm glad.â
Well, of course, she wouldnât do such a thing, even if there was still a Zhou Ran between them.
Even if Zhou Ran was responsible for her motherâs death, she wouldnât transfer all that blame onto Shen Chi because⦠she loved him.
Xu Chaomu pursed her lips and continued with her breakfast, occasionally looking up to steal glances at Shen Chi.
This man was always a sight to behold, deep and profound like water, graceful and charming.
âWoof woofâ¦â Wealth barked once, shaking his little head at Xu Chaomu.
She threw him another tasty morsel, and he settled down again.
When Shen Chi finished eating, the cellphone on the table rang. He saw it was from the summer resort and stood up, stepping away from Xu Chaomu to walk to the living room.
âWhatâs the matter?â he asked in a deep voice.
âFourth Young Master, somethingâs wrong. The old master suddenly fainted on the balcony. Weâre preparing to take him to the hospital.â
âWhat about the doctors at the resort?â
