Chapter 899 -899: It Was His Son All Along
Butler Ling smiled and couldn’t help but speak a few words in favor of Xu Chaomu, “Young Master, truly, the young madam cares a lot about you.”
Shen Chi didn’t speak, his brow furrowed as he looked at his own notebook.
Butler Ling knew that Shen Chi felt moved in his heart. Not everyone’s heart is made of iron, and besides, Shen Chi loved Xu Chaomu deeply.
“So… Young Master, could you perhaps not leave?”
Butler Ling seized the opportunity to look at Shen Chi, hoping he would change his mind, after all, if he changed it now, there was still time.
“The plane ticket has already been booked, and I’m needed to oversee the merger when it begins,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Butler Ling realized it was over, like a bucket of cold water poured down to the bottom.
Wasn’t this clearly saying there was no room for negotiation?
With the Young Master’s temperament… Butler Ling couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, he was indeed stubborn.
“Alright…” Butler Ling said helplessly, “I’ve packed your luggage, remember to take care of yourself, don’t push yourself too hard, and rest when appropriate.”
“Mm.”
Butler Ling left, leaving the living room to prepare dinner for Shen Chi.
After saying so much, Shen Chi still refused to give in, and she was out of options. She should have known this would be the outcome; with Shen Chi’s temperament, who could change it?
In the end, it was like drawing water with a bamboo basket—an effort in vain.
By over eight o’clock in the evening, Xu Chaomu and Yu Weiwei had finished their dinner.
With a growing belly, Xu Chaomu couldn’t accompany Yu Weiwei for a walk, so she found a small coffee shop, and the two continued their conversation.
However, Xu Chaomu hadn’t expected Xiao Mo to call her in the evening.
At that moment, Xu Chaomu was eating an orange when her phone rang.
Seeing it was Xiao Mo, she was a bit surprised.
“Hello, Secretary Xiao,” Xu Chaomu said.
“Madam,” Xiao Mo replied respectfully, “President Shen and I have to go to Los Angeles tomorrow.”
“Mmm, I know,” Xu Chaomu lowered her head, expressionless.
Having had dinner with Yu Weiwei all evening, she thought the matter was behind her, and her mood had improved a lot. She didn’t expect Xiao Mo to bring it up again.
“Madam, this time the merger case will take some time, but it’s not very difficult. I wanted to let you know, if possible, could you persuade President Shen to stay behind? I can handle this matter by myself,” Xiao Mo said.
“Don’t call me ‘Madam,’ it’s awkward,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.
“Oh, I forgot,” Xiao Mo laughed as well.
He had indeed forgotten; Xu Chaomu had always told him to just call her “Chaomu.”
Xu Chaomu continued, “If he wants to stay, he naturally will. If he doesn’t have the desire, no amount of words will help.”
Xu Chaomu spoke calmly, and as a clever man, Xiao Mo understood right away: Xu Chaomu had tried to persuade him, but without success.
“Chaomu, did something happen between you and President Shen?” Xiao Mo asked, frowning.
“Nothing,” Xu Chaomu was reluctant to say too much.
At least, the little quarrels between her and Shen Chi didn’t need to be a concern for too many friends.
She had already confided in Yu Weiwei and was feeling much better; she didn’t want Xiao Mo to worry about it further.
“If you’re reluctant to say too much, I won’t insist. After all, I’ve discussed it with President Shen today, and he doesn’t need to go for this merger. It can all be done via video,” Xiao Mo said. “However, President Shen still insists on going, but rest assured, I will assist him.”
“Thank you for the trouble.”
“It’s part of my duties,” Xiao Mo replied. “I thought you might be able to persuade him.”
“It’s nothing, it’s just over ten days,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.
“Over ten days, it’s quite long when you think about it,” Xiao Mo said. “Moreover, you are pregnant.”
“It’s fine.”
Xiao Mo listened to Xu Chaomu’s tone, which was very calm, as if he somehow knew something. He had followed Shen Chi for so many years and witnessed too many things between Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu.
If Xu Chaomu says it’s fine, then she just doesn’t want to say too much.
“Chaomu, call me anytime if there’s anything,” Xiao Mo said.
“Okay, thank you.”
“No need to thank me.”
“If there’s nothing else…”
“Wait.” Xiao Mo knew she was about to hang up and hastily stopped her, “In a few days, Miss Bai will be getting married in Washington. Shen and I are going to Los Angeles this time, so… don’t overthink it.”
Xu Chaomu was immediately stunned; she didn’t expect… Xiao Mo to have thought of this as well.
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you if anything happens,” Xiao Mo said.
“Xiao Mo, thank you.” Besides this, she really didn’t know what else to say.
“It’s fine, get some rest early.”
“Mm, then I’m hanging up.”
“Mm.”
Xu Chaomu was the first to hang up the phone. After hanging up, her heart couldn’t calm down for a long time, like a river with huge waves surging.
Seeing that Xu Chaomu’s mood wasn’t great, Yu Weiwei quickly poked a small piece of banana with a toothpick and fed it into her mouth.
“Ah… darling, open your mouth, let me feed you a bite.”

Xu Chaomu obediently opened her mouth and ate the banana that Yu Weiwei fed her.
The banana was sweet, and she was a bit reluctant to think about the bothersome things anymore. She reverted to her previous thought: if someone is intent on staying, they’ll naturally stay; if not, then talking more is of no use.
Clearly, Shen Chi didn’t have that intention.
So, why should she force it? A forced melon is not sweet.
She was just moved by Xiao Mo’s words. Xiao Mo knew exactly where she and Shen Chi stood, and he reassured her, letting her know… Shen Chi would not attend Bai Man’s engagement ceremony.
Xiao Mo gave her a dose of reassurance.
Xu Chaomu bit her lip, at this moment she was very grateful to Xiao Mo.
Seeing Xu Chaomu’s mood dropping again, Yu Weiwei quickly fed her a cherry tomato: “Here, have a tomato.”
Xu Chaomu had no choice but to “smack” and eat it in one bite.
Sour and sweet, after eating it, she completely stopped thinking about the matter with Shen Chi.
Let him be, that’s good as well.
Indeed, it was time for her to be silent too.
“My lady, don’t take things too heavily,” Yu Weiwei advised, “Look at you, your brows are so furrowed you could squash a fly. This doesn’t look like the Xu Chaomu I know. I’m telling you, a pregnant woman must be cheerful. No matter what happens, the child comes first, understand?”
“Oh,” Xu Chaomu responded, lowering her head to take a spoonful of double-skin milk.
“Oh what? Listen carefully, a pregnant woman’s mood directly affects the character and health of the child in their womb. With you being so melancholy, I think your child will end up just like Shen Chi, all cold and expressionless,” Yu Weiwei huffed.
“It is his son after all, it’s normal if he resembles him,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.
In fact, she still hoped her son would be more like her, lively and proactive—to be able to actively pursue girls.
If he turned out like Shen Chi, she’d have to look after two aloof people in the future, wouldn’t that wear her out?
She shook her head, thinking too much again.
“What’s so good about resembling him? I don’t even dare to talk too much with him,” Yu Weiwei complained, “If your son is like him, my baby won’t dare to play with your son in the future.”
