Chapter 1442: Chapter 1442: Jealous of One’s Son, Petty
“I don’t mind the hard work,” said Xu Chaomu. “My only worry is about them, as a widow and an orphan, how will they get by in the future…”
This was a question Xu Chaomu had brought up many tis to Shen Chi, whose answer was always to let Mo Shuifu make her own decisions.
Previously, Shen Cexian had given Mo Shuifu a substantial inheritance, but she had returned it all untouched, including the villa he had offered her.
Mo Shuifu said that the ho she had previously shared with Shen Shihan was enough.
“I’m afraid Mo Shuifu already has an answer in her heart,” Shen Chi said indifferently, his gaze distant.
“Huh?” Xu Chaomu didn’t understand. “Can you guess what Shuifu is thinking?”
“I can’t guess what she’s thinking, but you have to understand, Mo Shuifu is an independent person and, moreover, there are many things she does not wish to tell anyone.”
Shen Chi rembered that for all these years, Mo Shuifu had been deeply in love with Shen Shihan, yet she never confessed her feelings to him, keeping them buried in her heart.
It wasn’t until that shootout that she showed Shen Shihan with her actions that she loved him more than her own life.
That was how Mo Shuifu was, accustod to keeping her love and thoughts hidden, even from those closest to her, leaving them to only surmise.
“I think now that Niannian is born, everything will start to get better. A woman changes once she has a child,” Xu Chaomu shared her thoughts with Shen Chi.
Shen Chi didn’t say a word, simply nodding slightly.
“Alright, let’s not think about that now. Co eat with .” Xu Chaomu glanced at the nu on the table.
“What would you like to eat?” Shen Chi asked.
“Let check.” Xu Chaomu casually flipped through the nu.
Just then, Shen Chi’s phone rang. It was from the butler.
“Fourth Young Master, the young master is throwing a fuss, wanting to see you and the lady,” the butler said anxiously.
“Bring him over, to our own restaurant,” Shen Chi replied.
“Alright.”
Xu Chaomu looked up: “The butler? What’s the matter?”
“Your darling son.”
“Pfft,” Xu Chaomu laughed, “as if you don’t treasure him.”
“Boys, they’re so clingy.”
“You just want to have to yourself, right?” Xu Chaomu batted her eyes. “You’re jealous of your own son, petty.”
Shen Chi laughed: “With such a clingy little guy, and next month we’ll have one more, will you and I ever have a chance to be alone again?”
“Who wants to be alone with you? I want my babies.”
Shen Chi gave her a aningful look: “How about we go to Waterside Pavilion whenever we want to be alone together from now on?”
Waterside Pavilion… Xu Chaomu took a mont to think. Indeed, she seldom visited there after returning to the Shen Family.
It used to be a place tied to cruel mories, but now that the truth had been revealed, Xu Chaomu found herself missing it.
Waterside Pavilion was their ho, a place belonging to just the two of them, and she still rembered the scene when he first took her there.
“Let’s talk about it later,” Xu Chaomu deliberately chuckled.
“…” Shen Chi looked at her with a slight grievance.
Soon, the little guy arrived, and as soon as he saw Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu, he looked upset.
“You left behind to go on a date again!” The little one stood in front of them, said angrily.
Xu Chaomu patted the seat next to her: “Xiaobao, co here.”
“No, mommy, you’ve turned bad too. Didn’t we agree this morning that we didn’t need daddy anymore?”
“…” Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched.
Shen Chi cast a aningful glance at Xu Chaomu, his eyes conveying a dangerous ssage.
“Didn’t you say Uncle Xiao Mo has a much better temperant than Dad, so how co you prefer Dad now?” Xiaobao continued.
Xu Chaomu held her forehead, can she deny this child is hers?
“What else did Mom say?” Shen Chi spoke in his sly and indifferent manner, looking at his own son.
“Mom said…”
“Xiaobao, do you want to eat with Mom or not?” Xu Chaomu interrupted him, “Mom ordered your favorite dishes, there is braised prawns in oil, sweet and sour ribs, carp, and more…”
“Yes, I want to eat with Mom!” Xiaobao’s eyes lit up as he scurried towards Xu Chaomu.
He “thump” jumped onto the sofa and sat down next to Xu Chaomu.
“See, that’s right, Mom loves you the most.” Xu Chaomu started to coddle her son, “The dishes haven’t arrived yet, shall we eat so fruit first? This is an orange, didn’t you tell Mom just a few days ago that you wanted to eat it?”
Xu Chaomu peeled an orange for Xiaobao and fed it to him.
Xiaobao was pleased and smirked at Shen Chi.
Shen Chi was not pleased, as expected, it was Xu Chaomu who knew how to bribe Xiaobao.
The little guy bragged to Shen Chi while eating: “Old Shen, you don’t get to eat any.”
“No respect for elders.” Shen Chi glared at him, “What are you calling your dad?”
“Otherwise, what? We all have the Shen surna, it’s hard to distinguish.” Xiaobao said matter-of-factly.
“Call Dad!” Shen Chi said sternly.
“So stingy.” Xiaobao was indifferent.
After the butler brought Xiaobao over, he headed to the Luo Family Hospital as arranged by Xu Chaomu.
Soone at the hospital was already waiting for her; upon hearing that the young mistress of the family had given birth to a daughter, she hurriedly brought so food and baby supplies for Mo Shuifu.
Years ago, she always took care of Shen Di and Shen Chi, never imagining she could continue to care for the next generation in her lifeti.
Although the butler didn’t interact much with Shen Shihan and Mo Shuifu, she still held a fondness for Mo Shuifu.
After hearing about Shen Shihan’s circumstances, she felt pity and regret, but more than that, she felt a bit sorry for Mo Shuifu.
“Butler Ling.” Mo Shuifu was surprised to see her.
“Don’t move, just lie down. Tell what you need, and I’ll fetch it for you.”
“Is the baby hungry?” Mo Shuifu glanced at her daughter.
After everyone left, she just kept staring at her daughter Niannian, feeling that no matter how she looked at her, Niannian resembled Shen Shihan a lot.
If Shen Shihan were here, would he be very happy?
As she thought about it, Mo Shuifu’s heart felt as heavy as stone, a suffocating pain.
The butler picked up the little girl to have a look and said with a smile, “The little miss looks just like her mom, and also resembles her dad. So adorable.”
“She’s quite the little troublemaker, starts crying after a while.” Mo Shuifu’s face was filled with a sweet smile.
“All kids are like that. You don’t know… let tell you in secret, the fourth young master used to cry and fuss a lot as a child. Look at him now, all quiet and aloof.” The butler chuckled.
Mo Shuifu smiled too, reaching out her hand to gently caress her daughter.
The butler stayed with Mo Shuifu for a while, chatting. Mo Shuifu was very happy today; sotis she even sang to her daughter.
Seeing Mo Shuifu like this for the first ti, the butler hoped that everything would be fine in the future.
During those days, the butler stayed at the hospital to take care of Mo Shuifu and Niannian, and Xu Chaomu ca almost every day.
Once, Xu Chaomu also brought Xiaobao, who looked at his little sister, felt particularly fond of her, and even murmured to Niannian for a long while.
