Chapter 961 -961: Shen Chi, Bastard
On New Year’s Day, Xu Chaomu clung to Shen Chi, insisting on doing things that young couples do, such as kissing in public, and after drinking a sip of milk tea, forcing Shen Chi to take another sip as well.
Shen Chi used to dislike doing these sorts of things in public, or rather, he scorned them.
But that day, Xu Chaomu was persistent, leaving him with no choice but to comply.

Wherever they went, they became the center of attention.
Xu Chaomu knew she was basking in Shen Chi’s light. Those cunning eyes occasionally fell upon Shen Chi.
She had to protect Shen Chi, otherwise, some woman might whisk him away.
That day, she didn’t walk too much. She wanted to continue strolling, but Shen Chi wouldn’t let her, insisting she sit down and rest.
With no other option, Xu Chaomu chose a spot crowded with children to sit down.
Many children were playing together; some were only two or three years old and could barely walk steadily.
At first, Xu Chaomu pretended not to care, but her gaze kept falling on the children from time to time.
As she watched, she became more and more captivated, staring at them with a gaze full of deep affection.
There was the smallest child who could barely walk but still insisted on climbing with the older kids. When his mother pulled him aside and wouldn’t let him climb, he cried.
Seeing him cry, Xu Chaomu laughed.
She bit her straw, watching him intently without looking away.
Having no choice, his mother took him to the sandbox to play with sand.
The little one’s father stood outside, watching the mother and child play, ceaselessly taking photos of them.
Initially, Xu Chaomu was tentative with her feelings, but gradually, her attention was solely on the children, without any attempt to disguise it.
Shen Chi noticed the expressions on her face—sometimes joy, sometimes anxiety, sometimes utter amusement.
Seeing the changes in her facial expressions made his heart wrench.
Watching so many children, tears welled up in Xu Chaomu’s eyes, but she quickly stifled them.
At that moment, Shen Chi wanted to wrap his arm around her shoulder and hold her tight in his embrace.
But he couldn’t bear to shatter the moment.
Right then, he realized his own helplessness; in many ways, he was not as capable as others said. He was just an ordinary man.
After what felt like a long time, Xu Chaomu turned her head and quietly started eating her dessert.
Fearing that she might be upset, Shen Chi suggested they go for a walk in the aquarium.
Xu Chaomu agreed and followed him back to the aquarium.
Since they were going to Australia the next day, they didn’t stay long, and by the afternoon, around four o’clock, Shen Chi proposed going home.
Xu Chaomu nodded, obediently agreeing.
Shen Chi asked her to wait for him in the aquarium’s lobby while he went to the underground garage to get the car.
What he didn’t expect was that as soon as he reached the garage, he saw a familiar figure.
It was none other than Nie Chenglang.
Upon seeing Shen Chi, Nie Chenglang strode over and, without a word, landed a punch on Shen Chi’s face!
Shen Chi was quick to react. He could have dodged, but he didn’t.
“Shen Chi, bastard!” Nie Chenglang was furious.
He threw his punch with considerable force—he had come prepared!
Even someone as gentle as Nie Chenglang was furious, especially the moment he found out that Xu Chaomu’s child was gone, he wanted nothing more than to kill that bastard Shen Chi!
When his punch landed on Shen Chi’s face, a streak of fresh blood instantly seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Shen Chi didn’t fight back this time, he just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Nie Chenglang clenched his fists, feeling the blood coursing rapidly through his veins!
Before coming here, he had decided that even if he had to fight Shen Chi again, he would beat him senseless.
But, he hadn’t expected that Shen Chi would not fight back at all.
The two men stood face to face, the atmosphere extremely tense, as if a fight could break out at any moment!
Shen Chi’s mouth corner was now slightly swollen, his deep and sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, fixed on Nie Chenglang.
Nie Chenglang’s fists were clenched tight, his eyes filled with red veins as he glared at Shen Chi, his gaze full of anger, disgust, and immense dissatisfaction.
He took a step forward, and now, there was only a two-step distance between the two men.
Shen Chi could feel the rage emanating from Nie Chenglang’s body, burning brightly like a flame.
But this time, Nie Chenglang did not make another move.
“Shen Chi, what did you promise me?!” Nie Chenglang asked coldly.
Xu Chaomu had just returned to C City when she was forcefully taken away by Shen Chi, who later came to him to talk, promising that he would treat Xu Chaomu well and would not let her suffer any grievances.
He had trusted this man because Xu Chaomu loved him deeply, and he chose to let go.
But event after event had led to his disappointment.
He had thought that after the trade fair incident, Xu Chaomu would be happy forever, but before long, this news broke out!
The loss of the child… how cruel a blow it was to Xu Chaomu!
He didn’t think he had been perfect or had done everything right, but at least during those five years in Paris, he had never once left Xu Chaomu feeling wronged!
“I didn’t see this coming either,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
“Are you shirking your responsibility?”
“I’m not shirking responsibility, you’re right, I’m the bastard,” Shen Chi admitted, his voice low and deep, echoing profoundly in the empty garage.
“Shen Chi, if I’m not mistaken, you’re secretly pleased, aren’t you? Are you happy that the child Xu Chaomu was carrying, the one fathered by another man, is finally gone, so you won’t have to face a child with no blood relation to you in the future, won’t have to pretend to be kind to someone else’s child, right?!” Nie Chenglang accused harshly.
“Nie Chenglang!” Shen Chi shouted angrily, his eyes suddenly turning red, “Don’t you fucking presume to know what I’m thinking!”
“Hah,” Nie Chenglang sneered, “You’ve always been a despicable man. I told you, if you can’t treat her well, then let her go!”
“What happens between Chaomu and me is none of your business!”
Both men were on the verge of losing control of their emotions, their eyes blazing.
Normally gentle, Nie Chenglang was extremely agitated at this moment. In his eyes, Shen Chi was now a despicable scoundrel.
“She has been back with you for over half a year, and what I see after half a year is that she refuses to see me, her child is gone, and she cries while watching children play.”
“I will sort these things out, but it’s none of your business!” Shen Chi said coldly.
“Sort what out? Have you dealt with the issues between her and your mother? What about her biological father’s issues? Have you resolved the misunderstandings between you two? Have you shown any care for her when she was pregnant?” Nie Chenglang’s words rang out emphatically!
“Mind your own business!” Shen Chi warned him.
Shen Chi hadn’t expected that Nie Chenglang still cared about Xu Chaomu in silence.
