“Then remember to come back early tonight,” Xu Chaomu urged him.

“Mm.”

“Alright, you’re busy. Go on,” Xu Chaomu said as she hung up the phone.

Even though they had been apart for only a few hours, she was already missing him—missing him very much indeed. But now, whenever she missed him, she could look at the ring on her finger, the beautiful ruby ring.

…

When Shen Chi came home that evening, it was already past eleven o’clock. He walked gently through the living room, afraid of waking her up.

It was still Old Cheng who drove him back tonight. Today was rather good; Old Cheng thought that he wasn’t too drunk.

Old Cheng wanted to call the butler Ling, but Shen Chi waved him off and told him to go home and rest.

The living room was a bit warm, so he took off his suit and threw it on the sofa. He picked up the sobering tea from the coffee table.

The tea was still warm. He took a couple of sips, then set the cup down. His head felt a bit stuffy, so he gently massaged it and went upstairs.

He pushed open the door to Xu Chaomu’s room. It was pitch-black inside, but with the help of the light from outside, he saw her sleeping soundly.

He knew her sleep hadn’t been good recently. After a glance at her, he closed the door to her room and went to his own bedroom.

When Xu Chaomu woke up the next morning, she didn’t see Shen Chi beside her and thought he hadn’t come back all night.

She had slept very soundly last night, her dream filled with scenes from the day: roses fluttering in the sky, brilliant and dazzling lights. Only, last night she dreamed of a wedding scene, dreaming she was wearing a white wedding dress.

She pressed the button beside the bed, waiting for a servant to come. It was time to get up.

But unexpectedly, it wasn’t a servant who pushed the door open; it was Shen Chi.

“Awake?”

Shen Chi, now dressed in a casual dark grey sweater, stood by the door, instantly becoming a stunning part of the scenery.

Xu Chaomu found herself forgetting to blink. She was used to seeing Shen Chi in formal attire from yesterday’s event; today’s Shen Chi took her by surprise once again.

But then, he was good-looking at any time.

She glanced at the time and said, “It’s eight o’clock. Why are you at home?”

“Didn’t you ask me to give you a rub?” Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.

“I…” Xu Chaomu thought for a moment; she did seem to have said so. But now, her stomach wasn’t hurting anymore. “When did you come back? Was it almost midnight again?”

“I came back just after eleven,” Shen Chi replied. “You were sleeping soundly.”

“You don’t have to go to the company today?”

“No.”

Finally, he was done with the preparations for the exhibition sale. The exhibit was secondary; what mattered most was that he finally proposed to her.

He knew that she wasn’t disappointed with the surprise from yesterday.

“Then wait for me downstairs, and after breakfast, let’s go out for a walk together?” Xu Chaomu said to him, looking for his consent.

“Okay.”

As Xu Chaomu reached out to the bed to sit up, Shen Chi stepped forward quickly and supported her.

“Let me help you,” Shen Chi said.

“You pick out something for me to wear,” Xu Chaomu suggested, indicating towards the wardrobe.

Shen Chi turned and walked to the wardrobe.

There were many clothes, and he casually picked a ginger yellow loose-knit sweater – a very bright color that also flattered her complexion.

Xu Chaomu took it, changed out of her nightgown, and put on the sweater.

Normally, there would be a servant to help her, but today, it seemed Shen Chi would take that role.

When it came to putting on shoes, she couldn’t reach them, so she fixed her gaze on Shen Chi.

Shen Chi, of course, understood what she wanted. He squatted down halfway and hooked the corner of his lip.

He picked up the socks and put them on for her, then carefully helped her slip into her white canvas shoes.

Xu Chaomu looked down, watching him motionlessly, and as she watched, a smile spread across her face…

No matter the angle, this man was quite handsome, especially when he was being kind to her.

As Shen Chi finished tying his shoelaces and looked up, he caught Xu Chaomu staring at him. He curled his lips and asked, “Am I that good-looking?”

“Yes.”

“How good-looking?”

“As good-looking as I am,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

Shen Chi: “…”

He stood up, offered her his hand, and Xu Chaomu smiled and placed her hand in his palm.

He led her by the hand to help her stand up, then wrapped his arms around her waist to escort her to the bathroom.

When they came downstairs, the butler had already prepared breakfast. Shen Chi helped Xu Chaomu to sit at the dining table, and they ate breakfast together.

In the depth of autumn, there wasn’t much scenery to admire, the lush greenery had long since withered away, and C City was preparing to step into winter.

The Shen Family’s garden was planted with many fall chrysanthemums, autumn begonias, and hibiscuses… These blooming flowers added a dash of color to the monotonous autumn.

The Shen Family home was very quiet, seldom visited by guests, and other members of the Shen Family no longer returned.

Shen Chi liked the quiet, but Xu Chaomu thought it was a bit too deserted.

“Hubby, I really wish my sister would come back,” Xu Chaomu said to Shen Chi at the doorway after breakfast.

Shen Chi held her hand and strolled with her on the lawn, saying helplessly, “You know about my sister’s health.”

“Let’s visit her in Australia when we have time.”

“Okay,” Shen Chi agreed to her request.

“Do you think it’s too deserted?” Shen Chi asked again.

“A bit, apart from the butler, there’s no one else to talk to. I was happier when I worked at the corporation,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Then we should have more children.”

“…” Xu Chaomu’s face was lined with exasperation, that wasn’t what she meant at all!

However, if they really did have a child, she figured she would have her hands full.

Shen Chi accompanied her around the Shen Family estate and didn’t go to the corporation for the entire day, handing all the big and small affairs over to Xiao Mo. He just wanted to spend quality time with her.

“Would it be okay if I go to work in the department tomorrow?” Xu Chaomu sought his opinion.

If she actually went to work now, she surely wouldn’t have any tasks to perform, it would just be chatting with the office colleagues, which would greatly improve her mood.

“If you really want to go, then go. But remember, you’re not allowed to do any work,” Shen Chi warned her.

“Mhm mhm mhm mhm,” Xu Chaomu nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.

“Hubby, when are we going to take our wedding photos?” Xu Chaomu suddenly thought of this question.

She had never worn a wedding dress before and really wanted to wear one she designed herself, though having one custom-made by Shen Chi would be fine too.

“You really want to take them with this little one in your belly?” Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.

“Uh… then let’s wait until he’s born. But we’ve agreed, you’re not allowed to back out,” Xu Chaomu blinked her big eyes at him.

“Mhm.”

Xu Chaomu looped her arm through his, still feeling very happy.

Someday, she would walk into a church with him in a wedding dress…

That day, Shen Chi first took her for a walk around the Shen Family estate, and in the afternoon, he took her to the amusement park.

She liked lively places, and the amusement park was one of the liveliest, plus she really enjoyed watching children play.

The last time, she came alone, but this time, Shen Chi was with her.

It was crowded, the sunlight was bright, and with an outstretched hand, it felt like she could almost touch the warmth of happiness.
