Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Giving Birth to a Football Team
Xu Chaomu felt utterly embarrassed; she knew that Shen Chi, this wolf, should not be provoked. To provoke him was like asking for trouble.
“President Shen, you are graceful and poised, wise and decisive, with a good temper and character, high attractiveness, and a handsome face with long legs…”
Shen Chi’s bright black eyes stared unwaveringly at her, refusing to let her off the hook.
The red traffic light still had five seconds…
Xu Chaomu was frantic like never before, “President Shen, your kissing skills are good, your skills in bed are good, and I love you until the end of time…”
Shen Chi was still looking at her, his chiseled face tense, still unwilling to let her go.
The red light turned green!
Shen Chi still restrained Xu Chaomu, his lips curving into a wicked smile.
Cars behind started honking their horns…
One honk, two, three… The sound of honking became incessant…
“President Shen, I want to have your monkeys!” Xu Chaomu covered her face and yelled out in desperation.
This petty man! A thousand cuts wouldn’t suffice for this scoundrel!
Only then did Shen Chi feel satisfied. He gave her cheek a light pinch and went back to his seat.
“Beep beep beep beep…”
The honking behind them grew louder and more frequent, never ceasing.
Xu Chaomu’s face turned crimson, unsure if it was from the urgency or the embarrassment of her own words.
Pfft, what great kissing skills, great bed skills; she was coerced, she was innocent.
Only then did Shen Chi press the accelerator, slowly driving the car forward.
“Remember what you said,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
Xu Chaomu’s hand brushed her belly, a protective expression on her face. After being bullied, she always thought about how to get back at him.
“One baby is enough for me.”
“Didn’t you say we’re having enough to play mahjong?” Shen Chi looked ahead.
“Why don’t you say we should have a whole football team?” Xu Chaomu snapped back, exasperated.
“…” What do you mean ‘that works’? Xu Chaomu gave him a glare.
Just then, the baby in her belly moved again. Xu Chaomu looked down and couldn’t help but hold her waist, “He just kicked me again.”
“He’s trying to tell you that he wants a sister or a brother.”
Shen Chi spoke calmly, his gaze directed straight ahead, his face devoid of much emotion.
In fact, he really wanted to ask, “Who do you plan to have this child call ‘dad’ in the future?”
But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back down. After all, there were too many chasms between them. Some things, if she didn’t bring them up, then it was not his place to do so.
“He’s clearly protesting,” Xu Chaomu said, still immersed in joy.
Shen Chi smiled and said no more.
Seeing her happy was enough for him; he had said that he would take good care of her and her child. Her child was to be Shen Chi’s child too.
As the sun slowly rose and the temperature grew warmer, everything began to awaken.
The road to the airport wasn’t crowded, but there were still many cars. Trees by the roadside sped past in a blur.
Shen Chi glanced at his watch. It was almost time for Shen Di’s plane to arrive.
He picked up his phone and called Xiao Mo: “Xiao Mo.”
“President Shen.” Xiao Mo was having breakfast.
“Pull back the staff from the villa for now, but don’t let Director Shen leave the villa for even a step!” Shen Chi ordered emotionlessly.
“Stay available for my calls.”
“Sure.” Xiao Mo nodded; he knew that today was the day Miss Shen Di of the Shen Family was coming back.
Xu Chaomu heard Shen Chi making the call, puzzled. Was there something going on between Shen Chi and his father? Was it because of the divorce agreement from last time?
She didn’t dare to ask more. Of course, even if she did ask, Shen Chi definitely wouldn’t answer her.
Just like that time he injured his arm, he said it was cut by a wine bottle, and she didn’t believe it at all.
After about forty minutes, they were quickly approaching the airport.
“Shen Chi, why hasn’t Sister come back all these years?” Xu Chaomu asked.
Since she came to the Shen Family at the age of ten, she had never once seen Shen Di.
This time, if it wasn’t for Li Beiting’s wedding, would Shen Di have come back at all?
“My older sister hasn’t been well. After staying in Australia for a long time, it would be uncomfortable for her to come back,” Shen Chi replied nonchalantly.
“But when you went to see her, you never took me with you.”
“Why should I have brought you? Who were you to me five years ago?” Shen Chi said.
Xu Chaomu glanced at him, suddenly speechless; he was right, she had no relationship with him five years ago.
She looked down, fiddling with a bracelet on her hand in silence.
Her response probablly intimidated by his tone, Shen Chi reached out with his right hand and touched her head, “Are you angry?”
“No,” Xu Chaomu’s voice was bland as she continued to play with her bracelet quietly.
This bracelet, which she had bought at a street stall for a few dozen yuan, was gold-plated and hung with a little bell that didn’t ring; it was quite good-looking.
In her bag, she had many cards from Shen Chi, each containing enough money to buy a villa.
But usually, she was not accustomed to spending his money.
“Fool.” Shen Chi ruffled her hair. Five years ago, she was already his wife; why couldn’t she remember to talk back to him?
She could be sharp-tongued on normal days, yet now she turned dull.
“Five years ago, my trips to Australia were mostly for work. By the time I wanted to take you there, you had already left me…”
Shen Chi gazed into the distance, his voice tinged with a dull melancholy and even his deep eyes covered with a mist.
He had hoped, upon returning from South Africa, that he would agree to anything she wanted, to take her anywhere she wished.
Yet she had left him before he could return…
Xu Chaomu’s hand, gripping the little bell, froze. Five years ago, she had never imagined that she would see him again in this lifetime…
The sun shone on the car window, reflecting a colorful halo, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, all splendid and dazzling.
It was a beautiful time, and Shen Chi did not want to bring up the past again.
He touched Xu Chaomu’s head again, his lips curving into an indulgent smile, “Did you prepare a gift?”
“No… What should I do…” Xu Chaomu looked up at him.
It was her first time meeting Shen Di, and she had prepared nothing.
“No worries, I’ve got it prepared in the trunk for you,” Shen Chi said.
He had prepared some of Shen Di’s favorite foods, especially the aged osmanthus wine, which she loved when she was in China.
Later, whenever he went to Australia, he would bring her some osmanthus wine.
Xu Chaomu smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons, “Did you ever show my photo to her?”
“She said the girl looks a bit ugly.”
“What?” Xu Chaomu waited quietly for him to continue, although she knew this beastly man couldn’t spit out anything decent.
“She said nobody would want this girl in the future, so Achi, you might as well reluctantly take her in,” Shen Chi said earnestly.
