Chapter 863 -863: Shen Chi is Really High-Profile This Time
Xu Chaomu blinked her large eyes at him and waved a hand, “You can leave now.”
At that moment, Shen Chi suddenly bent down, held her shoulders, and lightly kissed her lips.
Her taste was beautiful, like melting ice cream in summer, with the sweet scent of vanilla. He was particularly enamored with this lovely scent of hers and couldn’t seem to get enough.
But, when he returned in the evening, he could kiss her properly; he wasn’t in a rush this moment.
He pecked her lips gently and then let her go.
However, Xu Chaomu seemed a bit reluctant, her large eyes brimming with expectation.
“Be good, wait for me to come back tonight.”
“Drink less,” Xu Chaomu instructed.
“Mm.”
“Then you better hurry,” Xu Chaomu said, not holding him back any longer, although she was reluctant to let him go.
Shen Chi nodded again and then left the lounge.
After he left, the air seemed to linger with his scent, not dissipating for a long time. Xu Chaomu stared blankly at the door for a while, feeling empty inside.
After a while, Xu Chaomu lowered her head to look at the ring on her hand.
Under the crystal light of the lounge, the diamond ring was dazzling and exquisitely captivating. Especially the full luster of the ruby on top, its vibrant and moist beauty was beyond comparison.
Xu Chaomu was infatuated with the ruby on her hand, unable to let go.
She stared at the diamond for a long time, her emotions still unsettled, reminiscing about the scenes that just unfolded at the event.
A sea of red roses, bright spotlight, the exquisitely crafted diamond necklace, and… his most sincere confession.
These were things she had never imagined would come true.
She had only dreamt of them, yes, daydreamed during class.
In the past, she would squint her eyes and daydream when not paying attention in class.
Her dream boyfriend was Shen Chi of course, but the Shen Chi in her dreams was so gentle, so kind to her… Sometimes, while daydreaming in class, she would laugh out loud, and then be jolted awake by the “thump” of the math teacher hitting the desk.

But that was alright; she would continue her daydreams at home, occasionally having some “Not suitable for children” dreams.
Anyhow, her dream lover had always been Shen Chi, it never changed.
Like all young girls, she too had fantasized about confessions, proposals, and weddings. Only, when she left C City in despair, she thought she would never see him again in her life.
But now, she no longer needed to think about these things. Now that the dream had become reality, all she had to do was live happily with him – that would be enough.
She believed that he would not let her down.
She stood up, her belly prominent, and walked to a full-length mirror in the corner of the lounge.
The full-length mirror was bright and expansive, standing in front of it allowed her to see her entire figure reflected within.
In the mirror, she saw the diamond necklace he had personally put on her; it looked exceptionally beautiful.
She lovingly touched the necklace, just as she would caress her own baby…
Her eyes were filled with reluctance, fondness, and affection…
By the time Xiao Mo came to pick her up, it was already noon, and he knocked on the door apologetically.
“Xiao Mo, you’re here,” Xu Chaomu lifted her head.
“Mm,” Xiao Mo said, “Sorry for being late, I just finished dealing with some matters at the venue.”
“Aren’t you going to attend the luncheon?” Xu Chaomu asked.
“With several other executives from Shen Group accompanying, President Shen said it’s better for me to take care of you.”
“It’s too much of a bother, I can manage on my own. Really, just having a driver take me back to the Shen Family would have been fine. I could have a nice lunch and a nap; wouldn’t that be wonderful?” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.
“President Shen wouldn’t be at ease, and neither would I,” Xiao Mo said with a smile.
“All right, shall we go now?”
“Yes.”
Having said that, Xiao Mo led Xu Chaomu out of the lounge, ready to head to the underground parking garage through the VIP passage.
Just at the moment they exited the meeting room, they saw Bai Man and Gu Xiuting walking towards them, hand in hand.
Bai Man flashed a gentle smile and said with an easy grace, “Secretary Xiao, Mrs. Shen.”
Xiao Mo nodded without uttering a word.
He continued walking forward, and Xu Chaomu just glanced at Bai Man without speaking. She followed Xiao Mo towards the garage.
Bai Man and Gu Xiuting said nothing more, just watching them head towards the elevator.
It was only after Xu Chaomu and Xiao Mo had walked away that Bai Man, holding onto Gu Xiuting, said indifferently, “Let’s go have dinner too.”
“Manman, is the wound on your neck alright?” Gu Xiuting asked with concern.
“It’s nothing, let’s go, to the hotel,” Bai Man said.
“Let’s go to the hospital first, and after that, it won’t be too late to go to the hotel,” Gu Xiuting suggested.
“Hospital?” Bai Man’s brows knitted together, and after a silent pause of a few seconds, she finally said, “Alright, let’s go to the First Hospital.”
“The First Hospital? Isn’t that a bit far? There’s a big hospital nearby.”
“No, we’ll go to the First Hospital,” Bai Man said decisively.
After speaking, she turned her head and strode forward.
Gu Xiuting couldn’t dissuade her and had to nod in agreement, following her to the parking area outside the Exhibition Hall.
A Lamborghini was parked outside; Gu Xiuting opened the passenger door for Bai Man.
After Bai Man got in, Gu Xiuting put on his sunglasses and took his seat as well.
Gu Xiuting drove away from the Exhibition Center, heading towards the First Hospital.
“Xiuting, do you think that woman named Xu Chaomu is beautiful?” Bai Man asked faintly.
“Just average, of course, she can’t compare to you.”
“Then do you think Shen Chi truly loves her?”
“Who knows? Didn’t you say she’s an orphan, both parents deceased?” Gu Xiuting said nonchalantly, “So, even if Shen Chi does like her, it won’t be celebrated by others.”
“Shen Chi is really making a splash this time.”
“Should we make a splash too?” Gu Xiuting teased with a raised eyebrow.
Bai Man smiled but didn’t reply.
Right after the exhibition sale ended, quite a few reporters followed her, asking questions primarily about her past with Shen Chi.
However, to all the questions, she simply answered, “I’ve long since broken up with President Shen.”
Of course, the reporters kept asking, “Then did you and President Shen break up because, as the rumors suggest, he cheated first?”
She just smiled and said lightly, “It was just a matter of incompatible personalities.”
The reporters couldn’t catch any juicy news from Bai Man; they realized that after five years, Bai Man had become even more composed.
The Lamborghini drove towards the First Hospital, and Bai Man touched her neck; it was actually fine.
She untied her scarf and looked in the makeup mirror; her skin was reddened, and though there were no blisters, the red layer hadn’t faded yet.
She touched it and it hurt just a little.
“This Xu Chaomu is still so wild. Wild five years ago and just the same after five years,” Bai Man stated flatly.
“Manners can’t be changed with time,” Gu Xiuting remarked lazily, “What can you expect from a girl who came from an orphanage, and a bastard at that? Who would have taught her?”
“For Shen Chi to marry her would only be like lifting a rock to drop on his own feet,” Bai Man sneered.
