Chapter 590: Chapter 590: The Baby Kicked
“Don’t co to Waterside Pavilion again in the future,” Shen Chi’s voice was low and hoarse.
He was faintly afraid, always sensing an ominous premonition in his heart.
Considering Xu Chaomu’s abnormal behavior the night before last, she obviously hadn’t forgotten those things. He feared, would there co a day when she couldn’t get past the hurdle in her heart and leave him for good…
“Withdraw your people from the villa!” Zhou Ran’s face was calm, but her tone was exceptionally firm.
“What if I don’t?” Shen Chi asked, expressionless.
“If you don’t, I don’t know what will happen to you, but you should be clear about your father’s capabilities. He has dominated the C City business world for decades, taking Shen Group to the top in C City; these years weren’t wasted! And , I’m just warning you.”
“Then you might as well go back,” Shen Chi sneered coldly.
“You!” Zhou Ran was so angry she gritted her teeth, “If you insist on not listening to advice, I won’t persuade you anymore.”
“So, you can go back now,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
Zhou Ran glared at Shen Chi fiercely, then, she opened the driver’s side door and got in!
Before leaving, Shen Chi spoke again, “Don’t forget, my father’s spouse column in the household register now bears the na Liu Rui!”
As soon as he said this, Shen Chi saw Zhou Ran’s complexion change again.
Without another word, she pressed the accelerator forcefully and drove away from Waterside Pavilion.
After Zhou Ran left, Shen Chi stood outside for a while. The evening breeze caressed his face, his eyes revealing a trace of lancholy.
Clenching his fists tightly, he slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket.
Just as he was about to light it, he rembered Xu Chaomu telling him not to smoke.
He lowered his head indifferently, placing the cigarette back in his pocket.
When he returned to the bedroom, Xu Chaomu had already finished taking her bath and was quietly sitting on the bed, reading.
She was engrossed in a storybook, intoning its words to the child in her belly.
The soft, off-white wall lamp emitted a warm orange light that fell upon her face, radiating a mother’s tenderness.
“Baby, today I’ll tell you a story from ‘Lettuce Girl’…” Xu Chaomu said softly, “A long ti ago…”
Shen Chi stood at the doorway and listened for quite a while. As he did so, a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his lips.
After listening to one story from her, he went to take a bath.
When he returned from the bath, she was still narrating, although the story had now moved on to “Pea Girl.”
Xu Chaomu’s voice was sweet and gentle as she turned the pages of the book with one hand and stroked her belly with the other.
Just as she was engrossed in her storytelling, Shen Chi climbed onto her bed.
He caught hold of the hand resting on her belly, gently pressing down and looked at her with deep eyes.
Under the light, she exuded a captivating beauty that always made him yearn to kiss her.
But this ti, Xu Chaomu seed sowhat resistant; she lowered her head and continued reading her storybook.
Shen Chi’s large hand softly caressed her small hand, and he hooked his lips lightly, “Do you want to take over the storytelling?”
“No, the stories you tell aren’t good influences, they’ll lead the child astray,” Xu Chaomu pouted.
“That was an accident, an off performance, this ti, I promise to tell a pure one.
“Don’t want to hear it, don’t want to hear it. Do you even have pure thoughts in your head?” Xu Chaomu shook her head repeatedly, looking at him with disdain.
“Better than you, at least. Who was it that at ten years old was peeking at adult comics?” Shen Chi pinched her cheek.
“You confiscated them all!”
“Good thing I confiscated them all.”
“You confiscated them to keep for yourself to read, didn’t you…” Xu Chaomu looked at him with contempt once again.
As a child, she suspected that he had taken them for himself to read, but she didn’t dare to ask.
“I’m not interested in those things.”
“Who would believe that.” Xu Chaomu scoffed, Shen Chi of that ti was right in the throes of puberty!
Maybe, after he confiscated her treasure, he enjoyed looking at the magazine on his own.
Shen Chi sat beside her, one arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, the other hand stroking her belly.
Xu Chaomu was initially resistant, but Shen Chi didn’t give her the chance to refuse.
She lay in his arms, inhaling the familiar scent of his body. Slowly, she closed her eyes and let the storybook fall away.
She didn’t want to think or do anything; she just wanted to silently lie in his arms, snuggling closer to him.
Shen Chi’s hand rested on hers, and her hand on her belly.
Just when the room was quiet, suddenly, Xu Chaomu felt a stir inside her belly, like the baby had kicked her.
She sat up joyfully, looking at Shen Chi, “The baby just kicked , did you feel it?”
Shen Chi looked puzzled, “He’s not in my belly.”
Xu Chaomu was delighted; she touched her belly and glanced at it, “Baby, move again, mommy really likes you.”
At that mont, Xu Chaomu was jubilant, hands and feet dancing. Her child was almost four months old, and it was moving!
Suddenly, she felt sowhat relieved that the other night she had been impulsive about not wanting this baby, and she was still a bit afraid now.
If sothing had happened to the baby that night, she would have been full of regret.
“He can’t hear you,” said Shen Chi, shrugging.
“Only you would know, annoying!” Xu Chaomu was unconvinced, “Baby, baby, don’t listen to your daddy. If you’re happy, move again.”
She rubbed her belly expectantly, her eyes shining brightly.
Shen Chi was slightly stunned; did she just say… daddy?
She was always reluctant to let this child acknowledge him as the father. Did this an she was willing to let him be the child’s father?
His eyes sparkled with joy, and his heart surged with excitent.
As Xu Chaomu waited, just when she was about to give up in disappointnt, the child in her belly kicked her again!
Xu Chaomu was overjoyed, forgetting herself with happiness. She unexpectedly hugged Shen Chi, her face brimming with a satisfied smile.
“My baby kicked again; he can move, Shen Chi, feel it, he can move!”
“Really? Let feel it…”
Shen Chi certainly didn’t hesitate about such things, especially when Xu Chaomu was the one inviting him.
His large hand touched her belly, but the little guy was uncooperative now, not reacting at all.
So, after touching her belly a few tis, Shen Chi’s hand slowly moved upward.
Xu Chaomu was still imrsed in happiness, not at all aware of Shen Chi’s beastly hand creeping upwards…
Xu Chaomu scread and quickly slapped his hand away, “Shen Chi, what are you doing?”
Shen Chi wore a mischievous smile, his lips curling up wickedly as he whispered in her ear, “Quite sensitive…”
