Chapter 774: Chapter 774: Don’t Touch for a Year
Xu Chaomu sat earnestly on the living room sofa, modifying design drawings. Occasionally, when she ran into a problem, she would prop her chin in her hand and think seriously.
When Shen Chi arrived ho, as soon as he entered the living room, he saw Xu Chaomu with a serious expression on her face.
Unexpectedly, when this girl got serious, she was very ticulous.
Shen Chi walked up to her, and she didn’t even notice.
He bent down and looked at her computer screen.
Xu Chaomu slled the familiar woodland fragrance on him, then turned her head and smiled, “You’re back?”
...
“Mhm.” Shen Chi looked at her computer screen.
He pointed at the detail drawing, “This needs to be changed, the use of this pattern elent is too common, it brings down the overall aesthetic appeal.”
“Okay, I got it.” Xu Chaomu nodded her head.
Speaking of which, Xu Chaomu started to make the changes.
As she worked on the drawing, he stood by and watched, occasionally offering so advice.
“Fourth Brother, I didn’t expect you to know so much about this.” Xu Chaomu complinted him as she continued making changes.
“Nonsense.”
If he didn’t know anything, how could he have ended up in the position he was in today?!
Xu Chaomu pouted, “Why are you yelling at again? No, scolding .”
Shen Chi’s mouth twitched, “Do you have a glass heart?”
Xu Chaomu laughed, “? If I had a glass heart, I would have left the Shen Family long ago, and even if I hadn’t left the Shen Family, I would have stopped talking to you a long ti ago. Just think about it, when I was little, you used to scold a lot.”
“If I hadn’t disciplined you, who knows what you’d have turned into by now!”
“But I didn’t turn out to be anything special, did I?” Xu Chaomu retorted.
“…” Shen Chi looked at her with contempt, but found himself at a loss for words.
Xu Chaomu was amused, and she continued making modifications with a spring in her step.
“Right, when is the trade show starting?” Xu Chaomu asked casually.
“In about a month.”
“Oh, then my baby will be nearly six months by then, right? In that case, I won’t go. It’s not convenient to move around with a big belly,” Xu Chaomu said.
“We’ll see,” Shen Chi furrowed his brows as if sothing was weighing on his mind.
“If I win any awards, just help bring them back. And if I don’t win, it saves the embarrassnt of going.” Xu Chaomu laughed rrily.
“You wish!” Shen Chi gave her an unimpressed look.
“…” Xu Chaomu clamped her mouth shut.
After a mont of silence, Xu Chaomu looked up and asked, “Fourth Brother, you entrusted with such an important project. Isn’t there any criticism within the group?”
“Who would dare to criticize?”
“Oh… you’re quite authoritarian in the group.” Xu Chaomu snorted coldly.
“How can you stand your ground without being authoritative when dealing with that crowd?” Shen Chi whispered in her ear.
Xu Chaomu turned her head and said with a brimming smile, “What about then?”
“You belong to , and you must listen to too,” Shen Chi said dominantly.
“Why should I? I won’t if I don’t want to. Shouldn’t it be you listening to ? Everyone says that n should listen to won!” Xu Chaomu was not convinced, not one bit.
“So areas, I can listen to you.”
“Hmm?” Xu Chaomu looked at him curiously.
“Like in bed,” Shen Chi raised an eyebrow, lowering his voice, “you can choose whether you want to be on top or I…”
“Scram, scram, scram!” Xu Chaomu cut him off, extrely, particularly, extrely angry!
She knew this man couldn’t say anything nice.
She took a deep breath and pushed him away.
Shen Chi curved the corners of his mouth, a aningful smile at the edge of his lips.
He sat down next to her and silently watched her work on the drawing.
Xu Chaomu shot him a contemptuous look, but nonetheless, she was enjoying their ti together.
She worked on the drawing, and he watched, occasionally giving her pointers.
For the first ti, Xu Chaomu thought, designing was an extrely happy thing to do.
“Fourth Brother, are you really not going to Washington? The eting is important, why don’t you fly back there?” Xu Chaomu asked.
She still felt a twinge of guilt; such an important eting was delayed because of her.
“No need, I’m staying with you.” Shen Chi put an arm around her shoulder, “What could be more important than you? Hmm?”
Xu Chaomu smiled. Shen Chi was getting better and better at sweet-talking her.
“Then I’ll go to the group’s office tomorrow. Will you go too?” Xu Chaomu said.
“Yes.”
“Good, let’s go together,” Xu Chaomu suggested with a smile.
The incident where Shen Chi teased her had been montarily forgotten; she clearly should have… teased him back.
Shen Chi accompanied Xu Chaomu on modifying the drawings for a while, and when it was ti for lunch, they ate together.
Shen Chi knew he had a lot of work to do, but whenever he was with Xu Chaomu, he would put aside all his work.
The five years he’d missed couldn’t be made up in a mont, so he spent every little mont with her.
“By the way, Chaomu, I have sothing to show you.” After finishing the al, Shen Chi said.
“What?” Xu Chaomu’s eyes glittered, could it be that he had beco enlightened?
After all, she had told him that morning her hands were spotlessly clean of any possessions.
Could it be that he went out and actually bought her a diamond ring? She wondered if it was beautiful or not.
But why did Shen Chi go upstairs?
Shouldn’t the diamond ring co out of his pocket, and then he gets down on one knee to put it on her in a heartfelt gesture? What did he an by going upstairs?
“Fourth Brother, what did you go upstairs to get?” Xu Chaomu called out.
Shen Chi didn’t answer her and continued to walk toward the bedroom.
Curious, Xu Chaomu didn’t follow him, but stood at the bottom of the stairs waiting for him.
He had a tall and upright silhouette, and she tilted her head to look at him, one hand stroking her belly.
Before long, Shen Chi ca back down, holding sothing that looked like a booklet in his hand.
Standing at the top of the stairs, he hooked the corner of his mouth, gazing down at the little woman below.
She was also looking up at him, appearing rather silly.
“Catch!” Shen Chi tossed the item in his hand down, a faint smile on his face.
Expecting a throw, Xu Chaomu jumped slightly, only to realize… damn it, this man was teasing her!
“Shen Chi! You’re so annoying. I’m going to feed you to Dabai!” Xu Chaomu put her hands on her hips and glared up at him, fuming.
Shen Chi laughed. He stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at her loftily and said lightly, “Do you know what this is?”
“What?” Xu Chaomu couldn’t guess, her eyes wide with curiosity as she looked up at him.
She saw that what he was holding looked like a marriage certificate, square and red.
“How about you guess? If you guess right, your husband will kiss you. If you guess wrong, you kiss your husband. How’s that?” Shen Chi narrowed his eyes, his gaze mischievously fixed on her.
Xu Chaomu wasn’t always this dull, especially since she had been through this kind of situation several tis!
It was obvious, whether she guessed right or wrong, she would be at a loss!
“No, let’s do this instead.” Xu Chaomu craftily smiled, “If I guess right, you sleep in your room and don’t touch for a year. If I guess wrong, you don’t touch for a month. How about that?”
