Chapter 1260: Chapter 1260: You are Mrs. Shen Chi
“I’m not full either, let’s eat together.” Shen Chi said.
“I can’t move.”
“Then I’ll carry you.”
Shen Chi picked her up from the bed once more, yet he relished the task.
Xu Chaomu reheated all the dishes, then glanced at the ti—it was already the wee hours of the morning.
Shen Chi had drunk a bit too much, but after having so sobering tea, he felt a bit better.
“You can never get enough to eat at those banquets, eat more,” Xu Chaomu encouraged as she served him food.
“Got caught by those stubborn old n and ended up drinking a few extra glasses,” Shen Chi said nonchalantly.
“Drinking too much can give you a headache; next ti let Xiao Mo decline those pointless social gatherings for you,” Xu Chaomu said, “Xiaobao was still calling out wanting to play with you today.”
Shen Chi curled his lips slightly, but said nothing.
The night was extrely quiet, and they could even hear each other’s breathing.
“I went to see Bai Xuan today,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.
She told Shen Chi everything Bai Xuan said to her today. Her face was expressionless, more resigned than anything else.
“What do you feel towards Bai Xuan?” Shen Chi asked.
“A father who suddenly appeared.”
“What about Jiang Zhilan and Bai Man?”
“Don’t like them at all.”
“It’s not a matter of liking or disliking; it’s about principle,” Shen Chi said seriously. “Those who have hurt you will do it again; Jiang Zhilan and Bai Man are the perfect examples. Just as a second ti leads to a third, do you believe they will turn over a new leaf?”
Xu Chaomu shook her head: “I don’t believe it.”
“That’s good. Stick to your own beliefs and don’t indulge them,” Shen Chi looked at her.
“Honestly, what does it change, knowing Bai Xuan is my father? I am still an illegitimate child, and in his heart, I can’t compare to Bai Man,” Xu Chaomu said lightly.
As daughters, Bai Xuan and Bai Man share a deep bond; they are the ones who truly seem like a family.
She was just an illegitimate child who suddenly disturbed the peace of the Bai Family; if they didn’t need sothing from her, they certainly wouldn’t have let her learn the truth.
“What illegitimate child, you are Shen Chi’s wife,” Shen Chi said sternly.
He wouldn’t allow her to talk about herself that way; she had only one identity, the lady of the Shen Family.
Xu Chaomu smiled. In the end, only Shen Chi was good to her.
After finishing the al, Shen Chi’s drunkenness had not completely faded, his head heavy. He naturally wrapped his arms around Xu Chaomu.
“It’s late; go take a bath and then sleep,” Xu Chaomu said.
“Together?” Shen Chi squinted his eyes.
“Do you need company to bathe? You’re not Xiaobao…”
“I have sothing to tell you,” Shen Chi whispered in her ear.
The hot breath brushed against the hair by her ear, warming her cheeks slightly.
Shen Chi took her to the bathroom, ran the hot water, and then placed her in the bathtub. The tub was large, big enough for two without feeling cramped.
Stripped of clothes, Shen Chi leaned into her under the influence of alcohol and kissed her fiercely against the edge of the tub.
“Mmm…” Xu Chaomu struggled slightly.
But as always, she couldn’t resist him and simply went along.
Shen Chi’s lips moved passionately and tenderly over hers, the kiss a mixture of gentleness, dominance, and heat.
The steam rose from the bathtub, clinging to Xu Chaomu’s eyelashes. She closed her eyes, silently letting him kiss her.
The temperature in the tub rose swiftly…
Xu Chaomu’s brows furrowed slightly, not from pain, but… wasn’t it agreed that there was sothing to talk about?!
Is this called having sothing to say?!
The two embraced tightly, feeling each other’s body heat and heartbeats.
After a long struggle, Xu Chaomu no longer had the strength and collapsed into Shen Chi’s arms, pinching him hard.
“Didn’t you say you had sothing to say? A gentleman uses his tongue, not his fists!” Xu Chaomu chided.
“I’m not a gentleman,” Shen Chi said shalessly.
“So people just have thick skins, and the key is they even think it’s glorious to have thick skin.” Xu Chaomu lay in his arms, punching him a few tis with her little fists.
“Feeling like you still have a lot of energy? How about… one more ti?” Shen Chi teased with a curled lip, grabbing her small hand.
“No, no more.” Xu Chaomu pushed him away, rolling her eyes at him, “Do you actually have sothing to say to ?”
“Could you please not go back to Jin City,” Shen Chi held her against his chest, refusing to let go.
Xu Chaomu was taken aback. Was that it?
“I’ll think about it.”
“What else is there to think about? I don’t want to be away from you, not even for a day. I don’t care about status or position; I just want you to stay quietly by my side.” Shen Chi reached out and gently caressed her face.
She lay bare in his arms, feeling distinctly his heartbeat and breath.
Just as she was about to speak, he touched her lips with his fingers, whispering, “Don’t tell that only a well-bred, intelligent miss is a match for . What I, Shen Chi, want to marry is a wife, not a ssy entourage!”
“The alcohol hasn’t worn off yet,” Xu Chaomu said with disdain.
“Promise , won’t you? Don’t go back to Jin City, okay?”
“…” Xu Chaomu didn’t make a sound.
“I know what you want, a simple, warm ho, and I, Shen Chi, can give that to you. If you think I have a bad temper, I can change. I won’t make you feel the chaos of the business world; you just need to be my wife, Shen Chi’s wife, quietly.”
“Why all of a sudden talk about this? I’ll wash you, then go to sleep. You have to get up early for work tomorrow,” Xu Chaomu said.
“The matter from fourteen years ago… can we face it together, please?” Shen Chi grabbed her hand, his gaze hazy as he looked at her.
Xu Chaomu’s hand trembled, her eyes lifted, and there was a slight stiffness in her facial contours.
He knew what she was worried about, what she was hesitant about, what she was considering… he knew it all.
“You really are drunk.” Xu Chaomu continued to wash his body for him.
Shen Chi’s hand brushed her back; after being together for so long, he knew exactly where the scars on her back were.
Xu Chaomu trembled and pushed him away, wrapping herself in a towel before leaving the bathtub.
She walked away sowhat flustered…
Shen Chi’s hand fell, and he knew she still couldn’t face it.
…
Because of the rain, Xu Chaomu didn’t sleep very well all night. The next day when she woke up and touched the side of the bed, Shen Chi was already gone.
Rembering what Shen Chi said last night, Xu Chaomu sighed softly, then made a phone call to Xiao Mo.
“Chaomu.”
“Xiao Mo… did you go out for drinks last night?”
“Yes, with a client. What’s up?”
“It’s nothing, just that Shen Chi seed to be in a bad mood,” Xu Chaomu said bluntly.
“Don’t worry about it; it was just so unpleasant words said during the dinner,” Xiao Mo responded.
“What words?”
“It’s nothing, really. President Shen is quite sensitive.” Xiao Mo laughed, “A young model brought by our partners, young and indiscreet, said sothing to President Shen, ‘Mrs. Shen isn’t as beautiful as Miss Bai used to be.’
Xu Chaomu held her forehead. That’s it? She didn’t care, and he was bothered by it?
“Guess what happened next.” Xiao Mo said laughing.
