Translator: 549690339
“Li Beiting, you’re a smart man, do you think Shen Chi will marry ?”
Li Beiting fell silent. If this question had been asked in the past, he would have believed without a doubt, but now, he knew what Shen Chi was up to—it was just that he wasn’t certain.
“Li Beiting, so you won’t answer , will you?” Bai Man sneered. “None of you are helping .”
“Bai Man, maybe you are ant for a better man.”
“Better? But I only love Shen Chi!”
“I’m sorry, I can’t help you anymore,” Li Beiting said indifferently, and left it at that.
As his gaze remained outside the window, Shen Chi was taking steps forward, carrying Xu Chaomu on his back.
Dabai was closely following behind them, hopping and jumping around, obviously delighted.
Although he couldn’t see Shen Chi’s face, he knew that Shen Chi must have been content. Only in Xu Chaomu’s presence would Shen Chi smile and show all his tenderness.
Li Beiting hung up the phone, not caring what else Bai Man wanted to say to him.
However, he thought to himself that Shen Chi, if you let go of Bai Man, the path ahead of you will surely be arduous.
Under the street lamp, Li Beiting put down his phone, stepped on the accelerator, and took his car onto another road.
Beside the road, the flowers were lush and fragrant. The villa area was beautiful, and Xu Chaomu even spotted one or two fireflies.
It wasn’t even sumr yet, and the fireflies were already flying.
After carrying her for a long stretch, she saw the sweat on his forehead by the light of the street lamps.
She snorted, “Shen Chi, are you tired? If you’re tired, put down and carry again later.”
“If you talk to , I won’t be tired.”
“What’s there to talk about? We have nothing in common.”
“For example, what do you want to give you for your birthday?”
“I don’t want anything. I would feel guilty for no reason if I accepted gifts from a stranger,” Xu Chaomu humd.
“What stranger? After all that’s happened between us, are we still strangers? Huh?”
“What’s happened between us? What have I done to you? Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not married yet!”
“No one else can hear us, and besides, you were the one who kissed first. What, you forgot? Trying to deny it?”
“I… I was just drunk, don’t keep bringing that up.”
Xu Chaomu looked unhappy. She had kissed him once, but he had kissed her back so many tis that he had long since repaid her, with interest.
Truly a man who hates to be in debt.
The two of them talked as they walked. Shen Chi always loved to hear Xu Chaomu talk.
Even though sotis she could be really chatty and noisy, he still liked it.
Dabai followed them the entire way, his eyes filled with boundless spirit.
“Chaomu, help wipe off my sweat.”
“No.”
“You ungrateful thing, how can you be so heartless? Huh?”
“Then just leave by the side of the road. I don’t mind.”
“Forget it, how did I get to know such an annoying brat,” Shen Chi said helplessly.
Quickly, Shen Chi carried her to the entrance of the Shen Family’s villa.
The road was traveled quickly, and they soon reached its end. It was like many other roads that seed as if they would be walked together, only to end up separating…
“My feet don’t hurt anymore; put down,” Xu Chaomu said, patting his shoulder.
As she lay on his shoulder, she felt incredibly secure, and truly wanted to stay there forever. But those shoulders weren’t hers to take, and she knew she shouldn’t covet what belonged to soone else.
And to Shen Chi, she was nothing more than a sisterly figure.
As for kissing her… well, it was just so he wouldn’t be at a loss.
Xu Chaomu always felt that Shen Chi, a man as brilliant as the stars, would never be interested in her. In all of C City, countless people wanted to marry him, and she was the least likely of them all.
Having spent eight years by his side, she was already much luckier than other won.
“Chaomu, are you lost in thought again?” Whenever she didn’t speak, he knew her mind was racing with thoughts.
“Put down,” Xu Chaomu demanded, punching his back lightly.
Shen Chi had no choice but to set her down.
Xu Chaomu dashed off, circling the garden from the outside and entering the living room via the steps.
She was so familiar with this place, she headed straight to her own room.
The maid that ca to give Chaomu her howork said, “Young Master, this is what you asked for.”
“Mm,” Shen Chi took it and headed upstairs as well.
Xu Chaomu ran into her room; it was her first ti back since she started boarding. Everything was still familiar…
She walked slowly, touching the pen holder, the books, and the desk lamp on her table, staring blankly at them.
The place where she had lived for eight years, she would not return to anymore.
But after she was gone, would this room be cleared out for soone else?
Let soone else have it. After all, she would no longer return to the Shen Family; keeping it would be a waste.
However, saying she was ready to let go of eight years spent beside Shen Chi would, of course, be a lie.
She sniffled, sobbed quietly, and stealthily wiped away her tears.
No one’s heart is made of iron; she was feeling very upset.
But he was about to get married, and they already had a child; her staying would only hurt more. Besides, the Shen Family never really appreciated her.
At that mont, Shen Chi also entered and caught Xu Chaomu with tears in her eyes.
“What’s wrong, can’t bear to leave this place?”
“It’s been a while since it was cleaned, hasn’t it? The dust has gotten into my eyes,” Xu Chaomu said, waving her hand to discreetly wipe away the tears.
“Chaomu, you just refuse to co back. Not even an apology is enough; there’s just no dealing with you,” lanted Shen Chi.
“Just clear out this room for soone else,” Xu Chaomu said nonchalantly, patting the dust off her hands. “I won’t be coming back to stay.”
“Stop it,” Shen Chi said, as he ran his fingers through her hair.
Soon, after he returned from South Africa, he planned to bring her back ho and tell everyone that she would no longer be Miss Xu, but the wife of the Fourth Young Master.
He was looking forward to his trip to South Africa, so he could return quickly.
But he dreaded going too soon; he wanted to spend more ti looking at her.
Shen Chi was always a decisive man who acted swiftly, but when it ca to her, he beca conflicted and hesitant.
“Co do your howork. I’m going to take a shower in my room. Behave and do it well; you can ask if you don’t understand anything.”
Shen Chi had carried Xu Chaomu the whole way and was drenched in sweat.
She appeared so unappreciative. Of course, he didn’t expect her gratitude.
Hmm, husbands are supposed to do these things.
“Okay.” Xu Chaomu took the howork from his hand and obediently bent over the desk.
This was how she always did her howork, with the desk lamp on, silently pondering the answers.
Sotis she would fall asleep while working on it, and when she woke up, the lamp would still be on, with a spot of drool on her notebook.
After Shen Chi left, she slowly took out the practice exam papers.
Biology wasn’t done, geography wasn’t done, history wasn’t done… truly cruel.
She started with the biology paper, given it was Yu Weiwei’s favorite subject, which made her fond of it too.
