Chapter 939: Chapter 939: It’s Fine as Long as I Hold You
She does not cry or make a fuss, very quiet, very quiet.
Such an appearance of Xu Chaomu made Shen Chi feel more compassion and pain, and his heart grew heavier with sorrow.
Shen Chi stroked her long hair, softly saying, “Mumu, about this matter, let me explain it to you slowly, alright?”
This time, Xu Chaomu did not speak but reached out with both arms, embracing Shen Chi’s neck, burying her head in his chest.
His chest was as warm as ever, that familiar scent settling her heart considerably.
She silently flung herself into his embrace, keeping silent.
Shen Chi stroked her hair, whispering, “If you’re too upset, let it out. You can hit me, bite me, whatever works for you.”
Shen Chi knew she was upset but couldn’t cry.
He had even imagined many times what Xu Chaomu’s emotional state would be upon learning of the matter, but this strong version of Xu Chaomu was something he hadn’t expected.
He had seen her kindness towards the little bun, and nobody anticipated such an incident…
Hearing Shen Chi say this, Xu Chaomu raised her head in his embrace and bit his arm.
Shen Chi frowned, grit his teeth, and allowed her to keep biting.
But it was only a few seconds before she let go.
Today, Shen Chi wore a shirt, probably because he had just returned from a meeting; he hadn’t taken off his suit yet.
“I can’t bite through…” Xu Chaomu whispered.
Shen Chi, stunned by her words, then soothed her, saying, “Then, I’ll take off the coat.”
Once the coat was off, only a shirt would remain, and she would certainly be able to bite through it.
He was serious, immediately preparing to remove his suit.
But Xu Chaomu suddenly wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, unwilling to let go.
“Just holding you… is enough.” Her voice was dull and husky, her large eyes filled with a misty haze.
She clung to him tightly and closed her eyes.
In that instant, Shen Chi also embraced her waist, holding her in his arms tightly and not letting go.
Two hearts pressed together, no one spoke of the little bun’s matter.
…
Finally, the day of discharge came, Xu Chaomu’s body had recovered very well, and Shen Chi was by her side every step of the way.
He had put off all company matters, with only the occasional video conference or an email, dedicating all his time to being with Xu Chaomu.
When Xu Chaomu gave birth, there were no other relatives beside Shen Chi.
Even, she did not tell Yu Weiwei and the others about the birth of her child.
She did not wish to speak of it, so Shen Chi did not tell anyone either.
Thus, virtually everyone was kept in the dark.
On the day of discharge, the weather was beautiful, and Shen Chi let Xu Chaomu have a lie-in, only taking her back to the Shen Family in the afternoon.
Waiting to pick up Xu Chaomu was Old Cheng, who, along with Butler Ling, stood by the car, having already packed everything.
Shen Chi helped Xu Chaomu into the car, and they sat together in the back seat.
Her hair was still arranged by his own hands. He had never done such a thing before, but once he started, he did it with ease.
“The weather is very nice today,” Xu Chaomu said, glancing out the window.
She squinted her eyes, gazing at the clear blue sky outside and the passing crowd, the pain in her heart slowly dissipating.
Little Bun, her little bun… goodbye forever.
“It’s a bit chilly, though. If you feel cold, I’ll just hold you,” Shen Chi glanced at her.
“The car is very warm, but what about you? You haven’t been to the group for so many days, hasn’t the group fallen into chaos?” Xu Chaomu asked.
“That’s not a problem, I’ve delegated my authority these past few days. Rest assured, there won’t be any issues with work,” Shen Chi touched her head.
His emotional control was still relatively strong; after so many days, he had become much more at ease internally.
As for Xu Chaomu, he was a bit worried. She looked very calm and composed, as if she was gradually forgetting the incident, but he knew her all too well. The times when she was most upset were not when she cried or made a fuss with him, but when she was quiet.
“Mumu, you rest well. In a few days, I’ll take you to some fun places,” Shen Chi said to her.
“How fun?” Xu Chaomu looked up at him with her small face.
“Enough to make you never want to leave,” Shen Chi replied.
Xu Chaomu smiled at him and hooked her arms around his neck, rubbing her face against his neck.
Her favorite thing to do was to hug him, smelling his scent and feeling utterly at peace.
Old Cheng drove the car out of the hospital, heading towards the Shen Family’s place along the northernmost road.
But they hadn’t gone far when a black car blocked the Maybach’s way.
Old Cheng took a closer look; wasn’t that Xiao Mo’s car?
He quickly braked and pulled over to the side of the road.
“What’s the matter?” Shen Chi asked in a deep voice.
“President Shen, Secretary Xiao has returned,” Old Cheng said.
“Is that so?” Shen Chi narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.
Indeed, it was Xiao Mo’s car and, sitting in the driver’s seat, was Xiao Mo himself.
He had come back a few days early. Did it mean that the acquisition case in Los Angeles had been settled?
Xu Chaomu wanted to look up, but Shen Chi pressed down on her head and said softly, “It’s nothing, it’s Xiao Mo. Keep snuggled up.”
“Oh,” Xu Chaomu responded and closed her eyes, curling up in Shen Chi’s arms like a little cat.

Xiao Mo hopped out of the car with an anxious and worried expression on his face.
He strode towards Shen Chi’s car and signaled for Shen Chi to roll down the window when he reached it.
Shen Chi lowered the window, looking at him sternly and signaling him to keep his voice down.
Although Xu Chaomu was not asleep, he did not want to disturb her, especially with things that shouldn’t be said.
He could tell that Xiao Mo must have learned some news, or else he wouldn’t have stopped his car right out of the hospital.
Xiao Mo composed himself and nodded at Shen Chi, “President Shen, the acquisition in Los Angeles has been completed.”
He saw Xu Chaomu through the car window, curled up silently in Shen Chi’s arms.
Her head was buried in Shen Chi’s chest, Xiao Mo couldn’t see her face, nor did he know what Xu Chaomu looked like at that moment.
And Shen Chi was holding Xu Chaomu in his arms.
“I understand, you could have just called me,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
“President Shen, do you have time tonight? There are a few things I’d like to discuss with you in person,” Xiao Mo said.
“No,” Shen Chi declined flatly.
Xiao Mo was taken aback for a moment but quickly regained his composure.
“Then… President Shen, shall we arrange another time?”
“Handle the Los Angeles acquisition case on your own, without reporting back to me. Just hand me the documents that require signatures and sealings when it’s time. As for other matters, there’s no need to contact me for the time being,” Shen Chi instructed.
Xiao Mo understood that Shen Chi was refusing; he could only nod, “Alright, I got it.”
As a secretary, his duty was to obey orders, not to resist them.
From this, it was clear that the news he had heard about Xu Chaomu’s child passing away… was entirely true.
