Chapter 888 -888 Miss Bai is Getting Engaged

“Thank you,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

As usual, he didn’t look up, still fixed on the newspaper in his hands, showing no intention to converse with Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu took the warm milk that Butler Ling handed to her, feeling its warmth and the fragrance of milk steaming from it.

“Fourth young master, fourth young madam, please enjoy,” Butler Ling bowed and then went downstairs.

Xu Chaomu took a sip of milk, her body feeling much warmer. She was truly hungry. Ignoring Shen Chi, she drank her milk and ate her scallion pancakes and pastries.

Seeing him like that, she knew he had already had breakfast. Butler Ling had only cajoled her, saying he was waiting for her.

For a while, the only sounds on the balcony were her eating and him flipping through the newspaper, very quiet.

In such an atmosphere, Xu Chaomu found herself eating without much joy, losing her taste for the scallion pancakes after just a couple of bites.

However, to fill her stomach, she still finished a few pieces of the pancakes and her milk.

But… the coffee in front of Shen Chi, he hadn’t touched it at all.

By the time she had finished her breakfast, the cup of coffee was still sitting in its original spot on the table.

Curious, Xu Chaomu wondered if he had x-ray vision to see the mustard that had been put in the coffee. Oh well, the coffee would be cold if not drunk soon.

She decisively stood up, ready to go for a walk.

But, just as she was about to push herself up from the chair, Shen Chi’s right hand reached for the coffee cup on the table.

Xu Chaomu paused, then sat back down, pretending to just change her posture, nonchalantly picking up a magazine from the table.

As was his custom, Shen Chi took a sip of coffee; his face, illuminated by the light, stern yet clear. His sweater sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, his every move exuding effortless elegance and charm.

Xu Chaomu watched him from the corner of her eye; she was always mesmerized by his appearance. She wondered when she would stop being so girlish.

Shen Chi took a small sip of coffee, but just a small one was enough for him to realize something was off with the coffee!

The intense taste of mustard! Very irritating!

But, after all, Shen Chi was Shen Chi; even after ingesting the unexpected and sharp taste of mustard, he was able to swallow it down composedly.

Throughout the process, his only sign of discomfort was a deep furrowing of his brow, with no other inappropriate reaction, not even a change in his expression.

He set down the coffee, glancing at Xu Chaomu across from him, only then noticing the expectant look in her wide eyes.

But, when she saw his expressionless face, disappointment showed in hers.

She thought, could it be that Butler Ling had given him the wrong coffee? Why was this man still so nonchalantly serene?

The very reason a male god is considered such is probably due to the elegance and charm he exudes in every action.

Still, his reaction was a big letdown for Xu Chaomu.

He was almost expressionless, and it seemed as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, Shen Chi looked up at Xu Chaomu and, after a long pause, said in a deep voice, “Childish.”

“…” Xu Chaomu didn’t hear any hint of jest in his tone; he gave her a cold glance and continued reading the newspaper.

That cup of coffee, he was not going to touch it again.

Seeing her mischief exposed and not achieving the desired effect, Xu Chaomu felt very disappointed.

Disappointed, she stood up without a word and silently walked downstairs.

If it were before, when she played tricks on him like this, he would have called her “little scoundrel” and then smiled at her indulgently. At least, he wouldn’t be expressionless like now.

But… the “little scoundrel” was still the same, yet his demeanor was no longer the same.

It was so uninteresting, her heart sank to the bottom.

When she was leaving, she heard his phone ring.

As she descended the stairs, his deep voice came from upstairs, “Hello.”

Xu Chaomu didn’t have a habit of listening to other people’s privacy, so she went for a walk after she came downstairs.

Seeing Xu Chaomu walk down with a sullen face, the butler became curious, what happened? Were the two still at odds?

She hurriedly walked up and said, “Chaomu, have you had breakfast?”

“Mhm.” Xu Chaomu nodded.

“Did that person drink the coffee?” the butler asked.

“Mhm.”

“Was there any reaction?” the butler was very curious.

“No,” Xu Chaomu shook her head, truly no reaction.

Uh… the butler sweat profusely; not a single reaction? But it wasn’t surprising, Shen Chi was unfazed even if the sky fell down, let alone just coffee laced with mustard.

“Then forget it, go for a walk, take it easy. Do you want Xiaoyun to accompany you?” the butler offered.

“No need, I’ll just stroll around the villa area alone and then visit Mrs. Qian’s baby.”

“Alright, don’t go too far, call me if there’s anything,” the butler instructed.

Xu Chaomu walked out of the Shen Family home alone with her belly showing. She walked very slowly and took a while to leave the Shen Family’s gate.

She hadn’t gone far when she saw Mrs. Qian.

“Mrs. Qian, good morning.”

“It’s Mrs. Shen, good morning.”

Mrs. Qian was holding her son, and as usual, followed by a maid. When holding her son, her face was full of happiness.

“Taking the baby out for a walk? We’ve run into each other again, what a coincidence,” Xu Chaomu smiled.

“Yes, quite a coincidence. But I take Bao Bao out for a walk every morning. I haven’t seen you these past few days, Mrs. Shen.”

Xu Chaomu hadn’t been feeling so good recently, and with Shen Chi not at home, she had been oversleeping in the mornings.

“I must have overslept,” said Xu Chaomu.

“It’s normal, it’s normal. Pregnant women tend to be sleepy, especially later on when it’s often hard to sleep at night. If you manage to catch a chance to sleep in the morning, of course, you’d want to sleep a bit longer,” Mrs. Qian said with some experience.

“Yes, that’s me,” Xu Chaomu said, “With this weather, getting out of bed is also a difficult thing.”

“By the way, Mrs. Shen, I heard your husband has returned?” Mrs. Qian asked.

“Mhm, he came back yesterday,” Xu Chaomu smiled.

When Mrs. Qian mentioned “your husband,” Xu Chaomu’s heart still felt a small wave of sweetness.

In front of others, she would always try to keep a smile, at least to make people think that she and Shen Chi were loving.

“It’s good that your husband is back, having someone to take care of you, to chat with, makes life less boring. After all, pregnancy is a very dull affair, a lot of times, you can’t do this, you can’t do that,” Mrs. Qian said.

“Mhm, when he is with me, I don’t feel lonely,” Xu Chaomu smiled.

“That’s true,” Mrs. Qian said, “I just remembered something, don’t mind me saying it. I heard about it this morning from someone else.”

“Mhm? What’s it?” Xu Chaomu was curious.

“Your husband’s ex-girlfriend, Miss Bai, is getting engaged in ten days,” Mrs. Qian said.

“Engaged?!” Xu Chaomu was clearly surprised, so soon.
