Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: The Little Baby is Calling Him Daddy Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: The Little Baby is Calling Him Daddy Although Mom bought him clothes, she was so stingy and only willing to buy one or two pieces for the baby.
As soon as he heard Shen Chi’s voice, Xiaobao couldn’t wait and looked back.
Yet, as Xu Chaomu held him, he couldn’t turn his head at all.
So he kicked Xu Chaomu, attempting to break free from her embrace.
Xu Chaomu grew even angrier, having not seen him for a long ti, and yet Xiaobao hadn’t forgotten Shen Chi! This ungrateful wretch!
What on earth did Shen Chi give him?
Xu Chaomu held Xiaobao tight, not letting him look at Shen Chi. He was becoming so attached; what would she do in the future?
Unable to see the handso uncle, Xiaobao grew anxious; his face turned red and he began to cry loudly again.
Xu Chaomu refused to look back, leaving Shen Chi no choice but to walk over to her.
All the bodyguards around made way, none of them dared to breathe, each one bowing their heads in utmost respect.
Only she had the ability to make Mr. Shen so temperless, and yet so willing.
Shen Chi approached her, looking down at her.
She still looked thin after not seeing her for a long ti, whereas Xiaobao seed to have gained quite a bit of weight.
He knew she had been saving money just for Xiaobao.
He extended his slender and pale fingers, gently caressing her face, his eyes filled with tenderness and indulgence.
“You’re finally willing to see ,” Shen Chi said softly.
Xu Chaomu remained silent.
Shen Chi then touched Xiaobao’s cheeks, seeing him crying so pitifully, he couldn’t help but coo softly, “Xiaobao be good, don’t cry, Daddy’s here.”
Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but scoff internally, assuming the role of dad again!
The bodyguards behind had never seen such a gentle Shen Chi, a stark difference from his previous self.
In the morning he was still shouting at nurses, yet now, seeing Xu Chaomu and Xiaobao, he seed not to have any temper at all.
And the nurse was so polite, yet Shen Chi actually yelled at her.
Now Xu Chaomu was cold, and Shen Chi was being so tender.
“Xiaobao, let Daddy give you a hug, okay?” Shen Chi extended his hand.
In an instant, Xu Chaomu hugged Xiaobao even tighter, looking as though she was protecting her child from Shen Chi taking him away.
Shen Chi was helpless, “I’m just going to hold him.”
Shen Chi reached out and hooked Xiaobao’s fingers, smartly, Xiaobao also grasped Shen Chi’s fingers, and the two of them refused to let go.
Xiaobao recognized Shen Chi’s voice, he sobbed for a while and then stopped crying, his big eyes looking intently at Shen Chi.
“Xiaobao, let go, are you not listening again?” Xu Chaomu tugged at Xiaobao’s fingers.
“Wuu…” Xiaobao refused, insisting on clinging to Shen Chi.
“Let hold him, it won’t hurt,” Shen Chi said childishly.
“I said no and that ans no, if you want to hug, have one of your own!”
“…” Shen Chi pouted, was there a need to be so fierce?
The bodyguards behind them, not understanding the situation, just bowed their heads silently, waiting for orders.
Xu Chaomu was still angry, had he tricked her into coming here? Seriously ill? Not at all!
She wasn’t blind; she saw he could walk fine, he obviously wasn’t gravely ill, and it certainly didn’t look like amnesia! She grew even angrier, holding Xiaobao tightly, not allowing Shen Chi to touch him.
“Let’s talk inside if there’s anything,” Shen Chi noticed her displeasure, sensing sothing.
“No thanks, Mr. Shen, you rest well, I have to go back to work,” Xu Chaomu said irritably.
After speaking, she wanted to leave, but Xiaobao was reluctant to let go, tightly grasping Shen Chi’s fingers.
Xu Chaomu tugged at him, and he looked very angry, glaring at Xu Chaomu.
Xu Chaomu really disliked Xiaobao at tis like these. At ho, he would be very affectionate with her, but as soon as he saw Shen Chi, he wouldn’t listen to her, and she didn’t know what kind of spell Shen Chi had cast on him!
“Xiaobao can’t bear to part with ,” Shen Chi said childishly.
“He doesn’t understand anything,” Xu Chaomu still said the sa thing.
The two were at an impasse for a while, neither giving in, with only the carefree Xiaobao jabbering away.
Then, the bodyguard helpfully added, “Mr. Shen, the doctor said you need to rest in bed and not get up; doing otherwise could worsen your headaches.”
Shen Chi stepped down gracefully, nodding, “Understood.”
This version of Shen Chi, without his usual arrogance and pomp, especially dressed in loose hospital clothes, seed much gentler than usual.
Xu Chaomu felt a stir in her chest but still held Xiaobao tightly and didn’t make a sound.
Shen Chi voluntarily let go of Xiaobao’s hand and walked a few steps back, his tone filled with sorrow and reluctance, “I’ll head back to the ward first. The annoying doctor will be coming soon.”
With that, he turned and walked toward the ward, step by step.
Had Xu Chaomu truly lost all her attachnt to him, she would have definitely left straight away. If she really had left, he would never be able to pull her back in this lifeti.
With each step, he walked with a particular heaviness.
He feared… by the ti he reached the end, she would not have looked back.
Xu Chaomu felt an indescribable sensation in her chest as he walked past her, and she caught a whiff of that familiar herbal scent.
After Shen Chi released him, Xiaobao began to cry non-stop again.
“Wuu wuu…” Xiaobao wriggled in Xu Chaomu’s arms, crying while he moved.
He wanted his uncle!
“Waah waah…” Soon, the sobbing turned into loud bawling.
Shen Chi felt reluctant on the other end; he liked Xiaobao very much, of course, he liked Xu Chaomu more.
Xiaobao cried harder and harder, continuously clinging to Xu Chaomu’s shoulder, wanting to look back.
Xu Chaomu knew that he liked Shen Chi.
Xu Chaomu moved her lips slightly but said nothing, just slightly turning her body.
She had just turned slightly when Xiaobao quickly twisted his head to look toward where Shen Chi had left, stretching out a hand, trying to reach for Shen Chi.
Xu Chaomu looked up, and before her eyes was Shen Chi’s tall figure, his back emanating a sense of forlornness and solitude.
She could not rember when it was that she had last seriously looked at his silhouette, as if it had been a very, very long ti…
She had almost forgotten what his back looked like, feeling only that he had beco much thinner than before…
Her eyes montarily moistened.
Xiaobao continued to cry vigorously, shouting, “Dada, dada…”
Xu Chaomu snapped back to reality, startled. Was Xiaobao calling “Daddy”?!
Could Xiaobao actually talk now, or was it just a few syllables?
But, he could talk now, and the first word he called was not “Mommy!”
In that mont, Xu Chaomu felt a bittersweet emotion, amused yet annoyed.
“Dada, dada…” Xiaobao cried while talking, pouting heavily.
The corridor was too quiet, and even though Shen Chi had walked far away, he still heard it!
The first ti hearing a little one call him “Daddy,” Shen Chi’s heart was uncontrollably thrilled and delighted!
This word, never before had anyone called him that, and now, a little bundle was calling him “Daddy!”
