Chapter 624: Chapter 624: When Old Age Cos
“I have a request,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.
“Let’s hear it.”
“After we go back, we sleep separately,” Xu Chaomu had this tiny request, “You sleep in your room, and I sleep in mine.”
“Big Sister will think our marital relationship is very tense,” Shen Chi looked at her coldly.
“If you disagree, I won’t go back.”
“Then don’t go back,” he said.
Shen Chi raised his voice and, after speaking, he walked away with a cold face.
“…” At this mont, Xu Chaomu felt like a myriad of “grass mud horses” were galloping through her heart…
Damn, this prideful man always wanted her to compromise; he was used to being high and mighty.
Xu Chaomu grabbed her bag and chased after him, walking side by side. She looked up and, sure enough, his cold, arrogant face was frowning.
“I’ll go back,” Xu Chaomu compromised, “it’s for my sister’s sake.”
“Hmm,” he grunted from his throat and strode forward.
“Can you wait for , please?”
Pregnant Xu Chaomu couldn’t walk fast, and she didn’t dare to.
Shen Chi walked ahead quickly, and they soon fell so distance apart.
As the sky grew dim, the corridor was also gloomy. Windows were open, and gusts of wind blew in from ti to ti.
Xu Chaomu followed behind. She couldn’t keep up with Shen Chi and called out to him, but he showed no intention of stopping.
Perhaps the wind carried a lancholic scent, making her slow down her steps, no longer wanting to chase after him.
Now, the only sound in the corridor was Shen Chi’s footsteps.
Xu Chaomu followed behind him; realizing she couldn’t catch up, she leaned on the wall and walked slowly…
After a while, Shen Chi turned his head when he noticed the silence behind him.
Just as she lifted her head, their eyes t in the dim corridor, and Shen Chi sighed.
He turned around and ca back to her with quick strides. Without a word, he picked her up in his arms.
“Hold on to the bag, and cling to ,” Shen Chi ordered.
After saying that, he carried her out of the corridor with big steps.
The girl had gained quite a bit of weight due to the pregnancy, but thankfully, he could still carry her.
Xu Chaomu hooked her arms around his neck, and like always, she silently gazed at him with large eyes.
This man, handso as a god, had a stern face, slightly furrowed brows, and tightly pressed lips. Regardless of the angle, he was a sight to behold.
A button on his black shirt had co undone, revealing a stretch of tanned skin, exuding a wild and sensual masculine charm.
Xu Chaomu watched him and, after a while, buried her head on his chest.
His scent was still that faint fragrance of grass and wood, providing her with a great sense of security.
People were still bustling around the company, but with Xu Chaomu’s head buried in his chest, they couldn’t see which woman it was.
However, seeing the president carry a woman in the company for the first ti was indeed a rare sight.
Quickly, Shen Chi went down through the private elevator to the garage.
“You’re getting heavier,” Shen Chi remarked faintly.
“It’s because your baby is in my belly,” Xu Chaomu countered unhappily.
The corners of Shen Chi’s lips curved up slightly; he didn’t really mind Xu Chaomu’s child. If she would let the child recognize him as the father, he would certainly be a good one.
When he heard her words, a warm current swept through his heart…
Xu Chaomu still had her arms around his neck. Although they had just had a quarrel, at this mont, she felt her heart brimming with happiness.
Still, so untily thoughts would pop up, and each ti, she tried hard to suppress them.
She didn’t want to think about the unhappy things; she was learning to deceive herself.
Shen Chi carried her towards the car, placing her in the passenger seat.
But his hand refused to leave her waist.
She thought he was going to do sothing unconscious again, but unexpectedly, he just looked at her deeply.
For a long ti, he finally spoke softly, “I really don’t know when I won’t be able to carry you anymore…”
Xu Chaomu’s eyes imdiately moistened, and she smiled, “When we’re old…”
Shen Chi also smiled. He stroked her head, leaned down to fasten her seatbelt for her.
In the mont he closed the car door, Xu Chaomu turned her head away and quietly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
When we’re old…
In this lifeti, could they grow old together, side by side?
Shen Chi drove the black Maybach out of the garage. As the car erged, the rain poured down heavily.
Xu Chaomu looked out the window, seeing darkness gather and clouds crowding the sky.
The street lamps were already lit, the rumbling of thunder was incessant, and the rain plumted from the sky, “whoosh whoosh,” creating a loud noise.
Even though the Maybach had good sound insulation, Xu Chaomu could still hear the sound of the storm outside.
It had been a long ti since the last storm, and every ti this season ca around, she couldn’t suppress the sharp pain in her heart.
Rain hit the windows, blurring the view, and droplets slid down the glass nonstop.
Shen Chi spoke up, “Chaomu, your little dog got into a fight with Dabai a few days ago.”
“Wealth is well-behaved; did Dabai bully it?”
“It went to snatch Dabai’s lunch.”
“You must have abused it, you definitely starved it…” Xu Chaomu said unhappily.
“I wouldn’t dare starve Dabai, let alone it.”
“Then why did it still go and snatch Dabai’s lunch?”
“It must’ve… wanted to play with Dabai.”
“Oh, I get it now. That Dabai, serves it right for having no friends,” Xu Chaomu huffed coldly.
Wealth was probably joking around with Dabai, but Dabai must have thought it was a challenge to its territory, and then… the two dogs fought.
Hearing her words, Shen Chi laughed as well.
“Right, last ti in your office, why did you scold ?”
“You weren’t taking your job seriously, you deserved to be scolded,” Shen Chi said with a casual air.
“I wasn’t being unserious.”
“If you were being serious, you wouldn’t have submitted such a ss of drawings to !”
“I just don’t have much experience…”
“If you don’t have experience, go and get it. Nobody starts a new job with experience; do you understand or not?!” Shen Chi once again adopted a tone of lecturing a subordinate.
“Oh,” Xu Chaomu lowered her head.
Before working at Shen’s company, she had wondered what it would be like to see him lecturing his subordinates. Now that she had experienced it, of course, she hoped not to witness it again in the future.
“Take your work more seriously. Don’t think that just because you’re in Shen’s with covering for you, everything will be fine. No matter where you work, you have to learn to be independent. Eventually, you must go from not knowing to mastering. No one can be relied on for life, and no one will help you forever,” he said.
“I didn’t ask you to cover for ,” Xu Chaomu mumbled.
“Alright, alright, you didn’t ask for it, it was my ddling self thinking I need to cover for you,” he said.
Xu Chaomu laughed, but she fully accepted and agreed with what Shen Chi had said.
Before, people said he was cold-hearted, manipulative, and arrogant. She had been curious; with such a CEO, how could employees still follow him?
