Chapter 365: Older Bull Eats Tender Grass
Zhou Ran’s appearance had stirred up everything that had been buried deep within her mory.
A voice constantly circled in her ears: Zhou Ran killed your mother Xu ngxi, and Shen Chi is Zhou Ran’s biological son.
Yes, she couldn’t forget that Shen Chi was Zhou Ran’s son, her biological son.
It was an undeniable fact.
The chasm inside her heart was one she couldn’t cross.
The sun was warm, and she turned her head slightly to look at Shen Chi’s profile, which was so handso, still the most familiar face…
Soon, the car arrived at the shopping plaza, and Shen Chi parked it in the underground garage.
“Co on, get out, are you hungry? Let’s eat sothing first.”
Shen Chi took her hand domineeringly this ti, fingers interlaced, as they walked out of the sunless underground garage together.
He was tall, a good head and more taller than her.
Even though five years had passed and she had grown quite a bit, when he held her hand, it still felt like holding that little girl from five years ago.
He wanted to protect her in the palm of his hand for a lifeti, leading her, until they grew old together.
Xu Chaomu awkwardly tugged at her own hand, her little face flushing red.
“Shen Chi…” she called his na.
“Hmm?”
“Let go of my hand…”
“No.”
“People will talk like this.”
“Talk about what?”
“They’ll say that I’m clinging to a sugar daddy…”
“…” Shen Chi’s mouth twitched violently, this girl really couldn’t say anything nice.
“After all, look, I am much younger than you, aren’t I?”
“Yes, yes, you are young, and I am old, I’m like an old bull eating tender grass.”
However, even though he said this, Shen Chi held her hand even tighter.
He feared he might carelessly let this tender grass be snatched away by soone else.
“You’re not old, you’re ancient,” Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but laugh.
“Old or ancient, you’d only know after trying,” Shen Chi said in a low voice, softly by her ear.
His hot breath tickled her, making her feel all tingly, and she quickly dodged him.
Err… this man, after five years, has beco even more shaless.
She used to think he was aloof, mature, unapproachable—just a facade to fool others, it turned out.
She often saw him on TV attending various high-end etings in a custom-tailored black suit, where he wouldn’t smile at the caras, exuding a coldness that chilled to the bone.
You know a person’s face but not their heart; he was just cold on the outside, but beastly at heart.
“Can you be serious for once? Or else I will expose you to the dia!”
“I clearly haven’t said anything. It’s you whose thoughts are impure, you little hooligan Xu Chaomu.”
Shen Chi fondly lowered his head and pinched her cheek.
The two took the elevator to the first floor, which was right where various jewelry stores were located. The dazzling array of pieces was srizing.
She hadn’t walked far before Xu Chaomu stopped in front of a gold shop’s counter.
This gold shop was elegantly decorated in a retro style, all the gold shimring under crystal lights with a tranquil and serene brilliance.
There was a delicate longevity lock in the glass case, exquisitely carved and particularly alluring.
She leaned on the glass case, cupped her chin, and gazed unblinkingly at the longevity lock.
She thought that if she gave her baby this longevity lock after it was born, it would be adorable.
A lifeti of happiness and carefreeness, may you live to a ripe old age.
“Do you like this one?” Shen Chi also ca over, his slender, pale finger pointed at the longevity lock as he spoke to Xu Chaomu.
In Xu Chaomu’s eyes, he could see her reluctance to part with it.
“My baby says he likes it,” Xu Chaomu touched her belly and looked up with a small smile for him.
“Then let’s have them take it out for you to see,” Shen Chi’s lips curled up in a smile.
When Xu Chaomu smiled, his heart lted.
If they were living in ancient tis, she would be the fem fatale, and he the foolish emperor.
He finally understood why so people would rather have beauty than the realm itself. Because her every smile and frown was the most beautiful scenery of this ti, what is the vast territory in comparison?
“Okay,” Xu Chaomu’s lips curled up, and she waved over the saleswoman.
“I want to see this one.”
“Sure, Miss. This longevity lock is handcrafted from pure gold, and if you buy it today, you get another small one for free.”
The saleswoman took out the longevity lock and presented another smaller box containing a tiny peanut-sized mini longevity lock.
One large and one small, Xu Chaomu was even more enamored, with adoration shining in her eyes.
She took the longevity lock out of the box, inspecting it closely, and the more she looked, the more she liked it.
If it were worn around the neck of her baby, surely the baby would love it.
Under the light, the longevity lock emitted a bright shine, made of pure gold, even the minute details were handled perfectly.
Just then, a pair of greasy, fat hands reached out for Xu Chaomu’s longevity lock: “Let take a look, I want one of these too!”
Xu Chaomu hastily clasped the longevity lock in her palm, not letting the man touch it.
The man was oily-faced, fat and big-eared, clearly wealthy. The gold necklace around his neck was as thick as a finger, and the gold ring on his hand, oh how big it was!
In comparison, Xu Chaomu glanced back at Shen Chi, and felt dwarfed.
He only wore a single watch, and even that didn’t seem to be anything special.
“I haven’t finished looking at it yet,” Xu Chaomu shook her head.
She held the longevity lock in her palm, in fact, she really liked it, an item she loved at first sight she couldn’t bear to let others even peek at.
The man, brash with wealth, said, “Just let have a look first, and if I like it, I’ll buy it straight away!”
“Sir, we have other styles of longevity locks here,” the saleswoman quickly said with a smile.
“The sa kind?” A woman beside the man spoke up, her voice crisp and musical like a silver bell.
Xu Chaomu raised her eyes, the woman by the fat man’s side seed petite and charming. She was clinging to the fat man’s arm, leaning her head against his body.
The woman was dressed boldly, her neck adorned with a sparkling diamond necklace, several different bracelets jingling on the sa wrist. If Xu Chaomu wasn’t mistaken, they appeared to be jade, amber, and agarwood bracelets.
Clad in a sexy red hip-wrapped pencil skirt that accentuated the woman’s sultry figure.
In contrast, Xu Chaomu looked at herself and again felt inferior.
She wasn’t even wearing a single wristwatch.
“No, Miss. Our store’s items are all one-of-a-kind designs. Actually, I can show you so other peace locks, all very exquisite,” the saleswoman smiled, trying to defuse the situation.
“That won’t do, I’ve taken a fancy to this design just now,” the woman shook her head, seemingly displeased.
“We were here first,” Xu Chaomu’s mouth curled up defiantly, guarding the longevity lock, refusing to let them see it.
The woman started to act coquettishly to the fat man: “Honey, buy that one for , our baby will definitely like it, I want to see that one, I want that one! Honey…”
Xu Chaomu felt goosebumps all over. Was this kind of coquetry really necessary?
