However, he knew to stop while he was ahead, Shen Chi obviously understood.
“Yes, there’s a problem with the cherry blossom tea. What’s wrong, doesn’t it taste good?” Shen Chi shamelessly pretended to be serious.
“You, you, you—you win!” Xu Chaomu conceded defeat, having seen shameless but never this shameless.
Shen Chi moved closer to her and gently pressed on her shoulders, whispering into her ear, “I still like that side of you better, a woman who takes the initiative is cuter.”
“President Shen.” Xu Chaomu’s eyes spun and she seized Shen Chi’s tie, “I am thinking about a very serious matter.”
“Hmm?” Shen Chi looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
Their current position was very intimate, especially Xu Chaomu, as she wrapped his tie around her hand, drawing very close to him.
His warm breath brushed over her face, and her heart pounded relentlessly.

“In the months before my son is born and the months after, how do you plan to spend them?”
This time, it was Xu Chaomu’s turn to be smug.
As expected, Shen Chi’s face changed instantly, glaring at her fiercely.
“Don’t look at me like that. I’ve thought of several solutions. Listen and see, after all, your wife is quite considerate of you,” Xu Chaomu said.
Shen Chi’s lips thinned, and his eyes filled with a cold light. This little woman surely couldn’t say anything good.
Xu Chaomu smiled at him enticingly, tempting him playfully, “The first option is to go to a club or a nightclub to find a woman for relief; the second, to keep a female university student; the third, to take matters into your own hands.”
“Xu Chaomu, do you believe I would take care of you right now?” Shen Chi gritted his teeth.
She knew very well that he would never find another woman besides her, yet she did it just to provoke him.
“I don’t believe it,” Xu Chaomu smiled triumphantly, loving the sight of Shen Chi at a disadvantage.
Shen Chi looked at her angrily. Fine, there was nothing he could do with her. It’s just half a year, he could endure it.
After half a year, he had to make her spend three days and nights unable to leave the bed!
The little woman in front of him wasn’t cute at all. He still preferred the Xu Chaomu in the mountain cave, who was completely obedient to him, especially when he had a fever and she was so anxious.
Shen Chi really had no way to deal with Xu Chaomu; he glanced at her coldly, helpless.
Xu Chaomu’s little hand was still hooked on his tie, and she said with a laugh, “Boss, how about a raise, please?”
Shen Chi was unmoved, just watching her, with a belly full of fire.
She still dared to ask him for a raise?
“Boss, how about some nutritional fees? The baby needs nourishment.”
“Boss, my work won an award, how about doubling the prize money? Is that okay?”
“Xu Chaomu, what is that?” Shen Chi pointed towards the door.
“Huh?” Xu Chaomu glanced over, “Nothing, it’s just the door.”
“Yeah, the door.” Shen Chi looked at her, “The door is right there, roll out yourself.”
“…” Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched.
“It was clearly you who asked me to come here.” Xu Chaomu muttered, what kind of person is this, really.
“Just you wait.” Shen Chi gritted his teeth, clearly upset.
Xu Chaomu pulled a face at him and then yanked hard on his tie.
Shen Chi nearly jumped up to strangle her, but Xu Chaomu quickly let go and ran off.
Angry, so angry, the boss is angry, better run fast.
Xu Chaomu scurried out of the CEO’s office, stepped outside, and then patted her chest, relieved.
But oh, how her heart swelled with joy—teasing Shen Chi was so much fun.
She strolled leisurely around Shen Group’s building, treating it like a relaxing walk.
Those days, she wandered around with ease—when Shen Family’s home felt too confining, she’d retreat to Waterside Pavilion for a few days, and when both Waterside Pavilion and the Shen Family’s home seemed stuffy, she’d come to Shen Group for a change of scenery.
After spending a good amount of time at Shen’s, she’d then stop by Mo Shuifu’s piano store for a visit.
However, after one visit to Yu Weiwei’s, she didn’t feel like going back.
Yu Weiwei and Li Beiting were sickeningly sweet together now, inseparable, and when she showed up, they hardly had any time to spare for her.
For instance, after Yu Weiwei peeled an apple, she’d take a bite, then offer it to Li Beiting for a bite, and then they’d both bend their heads together to discuss how their research institute could make more profit, completely ignoring Xu Chaomu’s presence.
Xu Chaomu felt as if she’d become air, so she never went back.
She thought she understood the ‘I’ve been screwed over by life’ feeling that Yu Weiwei got when eating at the Shen Family’s house.
Her carefree days passed quickly, and before she knew it, her baby was over seven months along.
The weather turned colder, and Xu Chaomu entered a mode of hibernation, feeling even less inclined to move.
Every day, Shen Chi would remind her to wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold, so she ended up layering herself just like a penguin.
Shen Chi had specifically hired a doctor to visit the Shen Family’s home daily.
Xu Chaomu found it bothersome, gave minimal attention, and would quickly send the doctor away.
On this particular day, the sun shone beautifully; Xu Chaomu sat on the balcony, basking in the sunlight while sipping a cup of milk tea.
The milk tea was rich with the fragrance of matcha, a scent so strong it filled the air; one sip left a refreshing taste in her mouth.
Lazily seated in a wicker chair, she didn’t bother to move, simply watching the curtain dance in the breeze outside the window, the fragments of sunlight scattering on the ground.
The scarf she knit for Shen Chi was already finished, lying in the wardrobe; she planned to find the perfect moment to surprise him with it.
The balcony was very comfortable, especially when the sun beamed on her face, allowing her to feel both warmth and contentment.
As she closed her eyes to quietly savor the moment, suddenly, her phone vibrated.
Unwilling to move, she didn’t reach for the mobile on the table.
It wasn’t until she had finished her cup of milk tea that she remembered the phone had vibrated.
She flipped it open to see a message from an unknown number.
It just read a few words: “Have you forgotten? Shen Chi is the son of the man who killed your mother, the fire thirteen years ago.”
Xu Chaomu’s hands trembled uncontrollably, her pupils dilating further and further…
No, who sent her this message?!
She dared not look any longer, instinctively deleting the message! Quickly deleting it!
With a “bang,” she threw her mobile onto the sofa on the balcony!
But her hands kept shaking, constantly trembling, her mind going blank all of a sudden!
This issue, she had buried deep in her heart over the past few months, not digging it up again because Shen Chi had indeed treated her so well.
Besides, the events of that year had nothing to do with Shen Chi, only with Zhou Ran.
But why was there a message to remind her of this unbearable past…?
She had thought that maybe one day she would gather enough evidence to send Zhou Ran to prison. But this thought had only briefly crossed her mind before quickly disappearing.
As long as Zhou Ran stopped doing anything to harm her, she wouldn’t gather any so-called evidence.
She truly wanted to be with Shen Chi, to have a good life together.
