Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Make Her Never Find Her Father in Her Lifetime

“I don’t want to take you with me,” Xu Chaomu muttered.

“Hmm?”

“If someone from the group recognizes us, it wouldn’t be good. I’m telling you, my colleagues in the design department now think I’m being kept.”

“Why?”

“The chocolates from this morning, eighteen thousand per piece, they’re all half in doubt. Especially Sister Chen, she accidentally saw that black card you gave me, and she’s even more convinced that I’m being kept,” Xu Chaomu grumbled.

“Aren’t you being kept?”

...

“…” Xu Chaomu glared at him.

“Being kept by me, isn’t that very blissful? And it’s legit too.” Shen Chi suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist.

They were indeed legally married, having obtained their marriage certificate clearly and openly.

Xu Chaomu didn’t speak anymore, she felt… rather blissful, at least when he was around, she could let go of everything.

“Don’t overthink it, just go with the flow,” Shen Chi said.

“Oh,” Xu Chaomu acknowledged.

…

After lunch, Xu Chaomu didn’t leave with him. She asked him to return to the corporation first and then slowly left the restaurant.

Wait, she seemed to forget to ask something, why could he know where she was even when she went out for a meal?

Xu Chaomu thought, he must have been surveilling her again!

She walked alone along the path with her belly sticking out, taking a walk after lunch. The sun shone peacefully on her, and she felt it was beautiful.

Especially having lunch with Shen Chi and when he was nice to her, her mood was very good.

The man could be irritable, but most of the time, he was good to her.

Shen Chi returned to the corporation first. As soon as he reached the president’s office, Xiao Mo came in.

“President Shen, Chairman Shen just called,” Xiao Mo said.

“Oh? Is that so? Why didn’t he call my mobile?” Shen Chi asked. “What did he say?”

“Chairman Shen asked you… to remove the people ‘caring’ for him outside his sickroom.”

“What did you say?”

“I told him it was for your benefit.”

“Not bad, you’ll get a bonus this month,” Shen Chi’s lips curved into a slight smile.

“However, Chairman Shen was very angry. He said that when the former secretary was here, no one would dare to talk to him like that. President Shen, look, I’ve accidentally offended Chairman Shen.”

“Do you think it’s better to offend him or me?” Shen Chi looked at him.

Xiao Mo said, “Of course, I wouldn’t dare to offend you, President Shen.”

“That’s more like it.”

“President Shen, however, Chairman Shen said that you should call him back.”

“Got it,” Shen Chi was in no good temper.

“Then I’ll go and get to work,” Xiao Mo left Shen Chi’s presidential office.

Once Xiao Mo left, Shen Chi sat down and pondered for a bit.

If it were the past, with his temperament, he would never call Shen Cexian back proactively. Moreover, their relationship was extremely tense right now.

But now, some ideas were budding in his heart.

He picked up his mobile phone and walked to the office window.

At this time, Shen Cexian had just finished lunch, and Zhou Ran was tidying up for him. During this period, it was Zhou Ran who had been taking care of Shen Cexian, Liu Rumei had no way to get into the hospital.

Shen Cexian had never really cared for Liu Rumei. Marrying her was purely to spite Zhou Ran. This had ironically led to some tranquility.

“Cexian, how was the food today?” Zhou Ran sat beside him.

“Very tasty, did you make it yourself?”

“How would I have time to make so many dishes? There’s only one I made; can you guess which one?”

“I guess… it’s that braised shrimp? I haven’t tasted it in a long time,” Shen Cexian sighed.

“Mhm.” Zhou Ran didn’t contradict him; the braised shrimp was indeed made by her.

Shen Cexian grabbed her hand, his eyes looking into hers with deep affection: “It’s the same taste as before.”

Zhou Ran fell into thought and didn’t speak.

Yes, when they were young, she loved to make braised shrimp for him. In truth, she didn’t know how to cook many dishes, and fortunately, this one turned out to be her specialty.

However, he never appreciated it. He either wouldn’t eat it or would take a few bites and declare it terrible.

She had many people taste it and everyone said it wasn’t bad at all.

“Do you still think it’s terrible?” Zhou Ran asked him.

Shen Cexian chuckled, shook his head: “Not terrible, very tasty. It has always been tasty.”

In the past, when he said it wasn’t good, it was only because he didn’t like the food she made. He never told her that her braised shrimp was delicious.

Having said it now, he had no regrets left.

Zhou Ran slightly curved the corners of her lips and smiled.

Just then, Shen Chi’s call came through.

“Look who’s calling,” Shen Cexian pointed to the mobile phone on the table.

Zhou Ran reached out, took the phone, and said, “It’s Achi.”

“Give it to me,” Shen Cexian reached out his hand.

Zhou Ran handed the phone to him. She had no particular expression on her face, but she could see Shen Cexian’s features remained tense.

The afternoon in the sickroom was very quiet, with the chirping of birds audible from outside.

“Achi,” Shen Cexian answered the call, his voice cold.

“Has father had his lunch?” Shen Chi asked casually.

“Yes!” Shen Cexian was not in high spirits.

“It’s been a day, have you thought it over a bit? Or, is there anything you want to tell me?” Shen Chi hinted deliberately.

“Achi, I just want to tell you to remove your people from outside the sickroom!” Shen Cexian was unapologetic.

“I am considering father’s safety,” Shen Chi said calmly. “Having them watch over the sickroom is for your benefit.”

“I don’t need your false kindness!” Shen Cexian retorted. “Remove them all, every single one!”

“Remove them? Not impossible. You just need to tell me whose blood you used for the blood tests before,” Shen Chi probed further.

“I won’t tell you,” Shen Cexian’s tone was resolute. “Let that girl search for her father for a lifetime!”

“You’re determined not to say?”

“Yes!”

Shen Chi’s deep gaze showed a flicker of coldness, the smiling arc at the corner of his lips fell away, his frosty eyebrows carried anger.

In fact, he had already anticipated that his father would not divulge the information.

“Shen Chi, have your people withdrawn. Maybe if I’m in a good mood one day, I might tell you,” Shen Cexian said.

Shen Chi let out a cold laugh: “That tactic doesn’t work on me.”

How could Shen Chi fall for Shen Cexian’s tricks, his father was once a cunning fox on the business battlefield, bankrupting many groups, and had merged with countless small companies.

“Father, let’s meet tonight,” Shen Chi decided.

After saying that, Shen Chi hung up the phone.

“Hey, Shen Chi!”

The phone had already been hung up, and no matter what Shen Cexian said, it was no use; he threw the phone onto the sickbed angrily.

“Don’t be angry with Achi,” Zhou Ran comforted him, fearful that if Shen Cexian became too excited he might start coughing again.
