Chapter 993: Chapter 993: Bringing a Cute Baby Ho Chapter 993: Chapter 993: Bringing a Cute Baby Ho Xu Chaomu teased it, and it would bark in response, so obedient and attentive that it made the other residents of the community stop and watch the dog.
“Wow, this little dog is really well-behaved.”
“So gentle.”
“So smart, really fun, and so cute to look at.”
“Chaomu, is this your pet dog?”
It was clear that everyone liked Wealth, they kept asking Xu Chaomu about it and so even reached out to pet Wealth’s fur.
Wealth wasn’t bothered at all and snuggled comfortably in Xu Chaomu’s arms.
As long as Xu Chaomu was there, it wasn’t scared of strangers anymore.
Xu Chaomu rembered how it used to be quite shy, but now it had improved a lot. Even with so many people around, it wasn’t scared.
“Yes, it’s my dog, I’ve had it for many years now, but it never seems to grow up,” Xu Chaomu replied.
“It’s good that it doesn’t grow up, it looks cute, and it’s fun to hold,” a young girl comnted.
“Mhm!” Xu Chaomu agreed with a sound. “I really love it.”
Xu Chaomu looked affectionately at her little Wealth and hugged it tighter.
Wealth seed to understand Xu Chaomu’s words as if it knew she was praising it and was very happy. It gently scratched Xu Chaomu with its paw again.
Xiao Mo stood aside, seeing Xu Chaomu holding Wealth, he also smiled, not expecting that Xu Chaomu and this dog had such a good relationship.
When soone spotted Xiao Mo, they shouted as if they had discovered a new continent, “Chaomu, is this your boyfriend? We haven’t seen him before.”
Uh… Xu Chaomu paused in holding Wealth and glanced at Xiao Mo, shaking her head, “No, just a friend.”
“Oh, I thought he was your boyfriend – you two seem to match well,” soone said.
Xu Chaomu’s eyes flickered, and Xiao Mo smiled at them, saying, “No, just old classmates.”
“Oh oh oh, old classmates,” everyone smiled, nodding in understanding.
As the evening drew in and the temperature dropped, Xiao Mo looked down and said to Xu Chaomu, “I’ve delivered Wealth to you, so I’ll be going now. It’s still quite cold recently, take care to keep warm yourself.”
“Leaving so soon after arriving?” Xu Chaomu was sowhat surprised.
It was then that a few aunties nearby chid in, “It’s getting late, Chaomu, aren’t you going to invite your old classmate for dinner? It would seem improper not to.”
“Yeah, let take you to a barbecue place up ahead,” Xu Chaomu insisted.
Xiao Mo was about to decline, but the aunty uncles kept egging him on, “Go on, it’s the Big Fish Barbecue place, right? That place is delicious, my daughter took there, it’s good. Young man, when an old classmate invites you, you should go.”
Embracing Wealth, Xu Chaomu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not just you eating, Wealth is here too.”
“Alright then, but just to be clear, I’m not drinking,” Xiao Mo said.
Xu Chaomu knew what that ant – he would have to drive back to C City later that night.
“Fine, let’s go,” Xu Chaomu said.
It was dinner ti and Xu Chaomu didn’t bother going ho. She simply walked toward the barbecue restaurant with Wealth in her arms, with Xiao Mo following by her side.
The old aunties and uncles kept laughing behind them, “Those two really look good together; what old classmates, they must be old flas.”
“It looks like it to . That man’s car isn’t bad at all, he seems wealthy.”
“We’ll see, I bet the man will co again.”
Everyone teased Xu Chaomu behind his back, laughing and joking around.
Xu Chaomu didn’t mind; after all, in such a small place, it was rare to find anything fun, so they just gossiped casually.
“Chaomu, how’s work going for you, are you adapting well?” Xiao Mo asked.
“It’s pretty good, my colleagues are very welcoming, the workload isn’t heavy, I’ve made a few friends, and sotis we go out for shopping and als,” Xu Chaomu replied.
“Is the salary enough?”
“Of course, do you really think I’m that extravagant?” Xu Chaomu laughed, “Actually, you don’t know this, but I have many strengths, being frugal is one of them. Moreover, now I need to save up properly, waiting for you to bring a cute little treasure.”
“What if I bring back a little devil instead?”
“No problem, which little devil can’t I ta?” Xu Chaomu was full of confidence.
“I’ve been quite busy lately, once I’m done with this period, I’ll bring a cutie back for you,” Xiao Mo said, “Perfect, use this ti to save up so more money, and let know if you need anything.”
“Once my three-month probation period is over, I’ll get a raise, and you’ve forgotten, I also have the bonus from the last trade fair. As for Shen Chi’s money… I didn’t take it,” Xu Chaomu’s voice trailed off as she spoke.
“You really draw a clear line,” Xiao Mo said helplessly.
“Uh, have you been quite busy lately?” Xu Chaomu changed the subject.
“After the new year, all the major projects are starting, it would be a lie to say I’m not busy,” Xiao Mo replied, “You’ve worked at Shen’s before, you know how hectic it gets there, sotis working as if life doesn’t matter. Not just us, the higher-ups are also swamped.”
Xiao Mo’s aning was clear, Shen Chi was very busy too.
“Then don’t work overti too late,” Xu Chaomu suggested.
“Right, let’s not go for barbecue then, we’ll just grab sothing quick, I need to rush back to C City after eating, there’s a pile of work waiting for there.”
“That busy, huh?”
“Yeah.”
Xu Chaomu, having worked at Shen’s before, knew it was indeed very busy there, overti was a norm, working until one or two in the morning was common when it got busy, not to ntion the flying between different cities and countries.
“So you really don’t even have ti for a barbecue?” Xu Chaomu asked.
“Yeah, let’s just eat sothing quick, if you have any questions you want to ask , think fast, ’cause I won’t wait,” Xiao Mo said with a smile.
“Alright, alright, then let’s just grab sothing quick.”
Xu Chaomu, holding Wealth in his arms, casually found a small restaurant where they ordered a few dishes and had dinner together.
Wealth lay dutifully at Xu Chaomu’s feet, gnawing on a bone Xu Chaomu tossed to it. Seeing Wealth by his side made Xu Chaomu feel a lot better.
During the al, Xiao Mo didn’t ntion Shen Chi to Xu Chaomu because she had forbidden it.
He saw that Xu Chaomu’s life, although not as affluent as in the Shen Family, was quite relaxed.
“Aooo aooo.” After finishing a bone, Wealth started begging Xu Chaomu for more food.
“You don’t miss a beat when it cos to eating, why don’t you ever grow up?” Xu Chaomu threw another bone to Wealth, looking at its pitiful little face.
“By the way, Xiao Mo, how did you manage to bring him out?” Xu Chaomu asked curiously.
“President Shen went to Switzerland on a business trip, and I went to the Shen Family under the pretext of looking for materials,” Xiao Mo said, “But poor Butler Ling is going to suffer, she probably won’t be able to sleep for days now that Wealth is gone.”
Xu Chaomu nodded and responded with an “Oh.”
For so reason, whenever she heard Shen Chi’s na, she would instinctively filter it out.
He went abroad on a business trip again? His trips overseas always seed to take a long ti.
