Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: Little Bun, Not Behaving
This man, who has always been deep and reserved, has beco quite a chatterbox now, and he’s genuinely very happy—of course, even more in love with himself.
Actually, she’s happy too. Having such a lovable baby is a huge blessing.
Xiaobao clutches onto Shen Chi’s collar with a pout, “Baby is good-looking.”
Shen Chi chuckles, “Yes, Xiaobao is certainly good-looking.”
“Baby is the best-looking,” Xiaobao adds.
“…” Xu Chaomu holds her forehead, one adult and one child, both shaless.
Xu Chaomu carefully puts away the appraisal report, and the family heads to a restaurant for dinner.
They sit down together for a al. Shen Chi lets Xiaobao sit next to him. Although he often scolds Xiaobao verbally, complaining about his sitting posture and lack of concentration while eating, Xu Chaomu can tell Shen Chi really adores Xiaobao.
This man only shows his easy-going and tender side in front of his closest loved ones.
Even after so many years of marriage and knowing him for over a decade, Xu Chaomu still enjoys watching Shen Chi; she never tires of looking at this man.
“Let’s visit Li Beiting’s ho after dinner,” Shen Chi says.
“Hmm? Do you need to see Beiting for sothing?”
“Yeah,” Shen Chi nods.
“Great, I also miss the little dumpling!” Xu Chaomu says happily.
Xiaobao has a good mory. He still rembers the quarrel he had with the little dumpling during the New Year’s, and upon hearing the na, he mumbles, “Little dumpling, bad.”
Uh… Both Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi hear it and are montarily stunned.
Then Xu Chaomu bursts into laughter, while Xiaobao maintains an innocent face and continues eating.
Xu Chaomu says with a laugh, “Shen Chi, your son is just like you, holds a grudge. It’s been so long and he still rembers.”
“…” Shen Chi remains silent, wondering why his son is like him again.
“Xiaobao, little dumpling is younger than you; you shouldn’t call him bad. You need to get along well; he’s your little brother, you know?” Xu Chaomu pinches Xiaobao’s cheek.
Xiaobao ignores her, pouting without making a sound.
…
After dinner, Shen Chi takes Xu Chaomu to visit Li Beiting’s ho.
Since they had called ahead, Li Beiting cos out to et them in the parking lot.
“Weiwei wanted to co down to greet you, but the little dumpling wouldn’t stop crying,” Li Beiting says. “This little guy cries more the older he gets. Your Xiaobao, on the other hand, is so well-behaved and sweet.”
Xu Chaomu holds Xiaobao’s hand, “Xiaobao, say hi to Uncle Li.”
“Uncle Li,” Xiaobao calls out.
Li Beiting adores kids, and he imdiately squats down to grab Xiaobao’s hand: “Wow, so smart. You’re just a bit older and you can already talk.”
“My son can’t not be smart, can he?” Shen Chi snorts disdainfully.
“You just keep praising yourself. If you’re so capable, have another smart daughter and marry her to my son,” Li Beiting suggests.
“Why would my daughter marry your son?” Shen Chi remains disdainful.
“Then how about if my family has another daughter and marry her to Xiaobao,” Li Beiting offers.
“I don’t like the idea of becoming in-laws with soone like you,” Shen Chi says coolly, “It would bring down the good looks, bring down the IQ.”
“Damn, Shen Chi, you haven’t fixed your venomous tongue yet? Or is it that you’re only venomous towards ? If it’s just towards , then I’m a bit scared.”
“…” Shen Chi gave him a white look, thinking too much of himself.
Li Beiting picked Xiaobao up and found that he actually quite liked the little guy.
Compared to the crybaby at his ho, Xiaobao was obviously cuter.
Xiaobao didn’t mind Li Beiting either, in fact, he was having quite a lot of fun with him.
As soon as they entered the door, sure enough, Xu Chaomu heard the little dumpling’s crying. He was wailing loudly and Yu Weiwei was getting impatient trying to soothe him.
As soon as she saw Xu Chaomu and the others co over, Yu Weiwei imdiately put the little dumpling down and took Xiaobao in her arms.
“Xiaobao is definitely the cutest, not crying or making a fuss. The little dumpling is not good at all, crying so loudly.” Yu Weiwei said helplessly.
Xu Chaomu chuckled: “You haven’t seen Xiaobao throw a tantrum.”
“The little dumpling, is not good.” Xiaobao glanced at the bedroom and said.
Uh… Xu Chaomu was startled again, holding his forehead and sighed.
Yu Weiwei was also slightly stunned, then laughed out loud: “Oh, Xiaobao, how can you be so cute? Right, right, the little dumpling is not good. Would you like to stay at my place for a few days?”
This ti Xiaobao stayed silent, quietly playing with his toys.
The little dumpling in the bedroom seed to hear Xiaobao’s voice, and soon stopped crying.
Yu Weiwei brought the little dumpling out and played with him and Xiaobao for a while.
Shen Chi and Li Beiting went to the balcony, each lighting a cigarette, quietly gazing at the sky in front of them.
The residential complex was quite nice, fitting for a high-end community, with few residents and quiet at night, free from miscellaneous noises. The two n just stood there, neither speaking.
After a while, Shen Chi exhaled a puff of smoke and said with his arms folded: “Regarding that matter we talked about on the phone, what are your thoughts?”
“I’ve thought about it for several nights.” Li Beiting also exhaled smoke, “I don’t have any other thoughts, I’ve decided to go with you to the United States.”
“Nothing else?”
“What else could there be.”
“You don’t need to go, stay here in China.” Shen Chi’s voice deepened, firm and decisive.
“You need help, and I can provide it. Don’t forget, it was who helped you the last few tis we investigated. Apart from Xiao Mo, probably no one knows more than I do, right?” Li Beiting said indifferently.
“I said no ans no.” Shen Chi insisted, “You should stay in China, besides the little dumpling is still young, he needs you.”
“It’s not like I won’t co back once I go. Why can’t I go?” Li Beiting joked.
“This is a life-and-death matter, I won’t let you take that risk.”
“The credibility crisis at Shen’s hasn’t been lifted yet. If we succeed this ti, Shen’s will be able to establish itself in C City from now on, with no concerns for the future.” Li Beiting analyzed, “So, its importance is self-evident. I help you, and you could just share so shares with .”
“I won’t let you take the risk. I ca here today to ask if you had any better ideas, not to repeat this discussion!” Shen Chi spoke fiercely, leaving no room for negotiation.
“…” Li Beiting sighed, took a few intense drags on his cigarette, and went silent.
Compared to the quietness of the balcony, the living room was much livelier.
Xiaobao and the little dumpling were playing rrily again, no longer caring about the past grievances.
“Weiwei, your little dumpling is still so thin.” Xu Chaomu said.
“Yeah, no matter how much he eats, he can’t seem to gain weight. I’m not sure who he inherits that from.” Yu Weiwei huffed.
“Have you taken him to see his grandparents?”
“No.” Yu Weiwei shook her head, “Beiting hasn’t been back either. It seems the Li Family doesn’t acknowledge this son of theirs. It’s said that the Li Family’s company is still being managed by his father.”
“His father really has it tough, having handed the company to Beiting for so long, yet still has to handle it himself.”
