Chapter 894 -894: Mr. Shen, I’m Sorry

Xu Chaomu felt a bit overwhelmed; this man only kissed her like this when he was in a bad mood.

He clearly didn’t want to say a word to her today, so why did he still want to kiss her, a farewell kiss? There was no need for that.

Shen Chi held the petite woman, wanting to pull her into his embrace.

But because her belly had grown large, he could no longer hold her.

A wave of bitterness washed over the tip of his heart, quickly rising to his throat. As he kissed her, he seemed somewhat distracted.

This kiss ultimately was not as beautiful as usual; he couldn’t feel it, and neither could she.

Without going any deeper, his cool lips lingered on her red ones for a minute before he let her go.

Yet, his hands still clutched her shoulders, not releasing them.

In his eyes, Xu Chaomu saw a trace of pain, a Shen Chi she had not encountered even five years after her return.

She shifted her body, trying to push his hands away, but Shen Chi wouldn’t let go.

“Why bother,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.

“Mumu…” he called her, his voice deep and hoarse.

Lowering his head, he pressed his forehead against hers, refusing to let go.

His heart clenched; he thought, if it weren’t for love drilling into his bones, how could there be such pain…

“The weather will be cool in the morning, and since the plane leaves early, remember to pack more clothes,” Xu Chaomu said.

She was very calm, her tone identical to his from the morning, devoid of any emotional courtesy.

Shen Chi fell silent, wordless.

At that moment, underneath the rose trellis, the two stood very close together, yet their hearts felt no warmth.

Even at such proximity, they couldn’t warm each other.

For a long, long time, neither spoke.

The place was so quiet that one could hear the birds singing in the trees, even each other’s breathing.

“Come with me to Los Angeles,” Shen Chi finally said, moving his lips.

His voice was deep and cool, but his habitual arrogance could not be disguised. Xu Chaomu raised her eyes, somewhat astonished.

What did he say? Together?

She had not expected him to say such a thing, and surprise filled her large eyes.

In her mind, he would leave with his suitcase for a foreign country first thing in the morning; indeed, she didn’t even know which country. Then, he would spend at least half a month there. Or perhaps, the international merger was just a cover, and he wanted to attend Bai Man’s engagement ceremony.

Given Bai Man’s personality, she would have certainly invited him.

“Until the child is born,” Shen Chi added lightly.

Xu Chaomu’s heartbeat quickened, and her brows slightly furrowed.

After a long while, she silently processed his words.

“Mr. Shen, I’m sorry, but I’m more than seven months pregnant and can’t handle such turmoil,” Xu Chaomu declined, “More than seven months, not seven weeks.”

Shen Chi’s brows also knitted together, his deep and sharp eyes looking at her: “What did you call me?”

They were so close that his hot breath brushed her face, causing her heart to stir.

Xu Chaomu’s lips moved, and her eyelashes drooped, but she did not repeat herself.

She thought he was probably going to get angry, but unexpectedly, he chuckled softly instead, a faint curve lifting at the corner of his mouth.

Since she had seen him yesterday, he hadn’t smiled; now, Xu Chaomu lifted her gaze, puzzled by what made him smile.

“You’ve said a lot, but those three words are the cutest,” Shen Chi commented lightly.

Xu Chaomu didn’t smile, truly not understanding how this man’s mind worked; his thinking was different from others.

Shen Chi said nothing more; he knew that she only called him “Mr. Shen” or “President Shen” when she was feeling a bit emotional.

He would rather she be emotional than being completely unmoved, like a pool of cold water.

“Boring,” she retorted.

“Mumu…” He lifted his hand, gently caressing her face with his thumb.

Xu Chaomu lowered her head, not letting him touch her.

Shen Chi’s hand awkwardly hovered in midair, and after a moment, he withdrew it.

“Don’t ask me anymore, I can’t go with you.”

Having dropped those words without giving Shen Chi the chance to speak again, Xu Chaomu pushed him away.

Since she was pregnant, he didn’t dare to do anything to her.

Xu Chaomu kept walking forward; she truly couldn’t understand why Shen Chi had such a thought.

On careful consideration, she guessed he was probably still wary of her, afraid that if she stayed in the country, she might sue his mother.

Taking her to Los Angeles, he would be able to watch her at all times.

Halfway through her walk, she stopped but didn’t turn around, saying lightly, “If there’s anything, call the butler. It’s not convenient for a pregnant woman to carry a phone around all the time, so there’s no need to call me.”

After speaking, she left the place, her belly showing her pregnancy.

Her words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Shen Chi; his heart was already cold, now it was chilled to the core.

He thought about chasing after her, but ultimately, he did not take a step and watched as she slowly disappeared from his sight.

He punched a withered tree trunk, shaking the rose bush and causing some dry branches to fall.

After leaving the rose trellis, Xu Chaomu returned to her bedroom and asked a maid to help her pack up her things briefly.

“Fourth Young Madam, where are you going?” The curious maid inquired.

Why is the Fourth Young Master packing, and the Fourth Young Madam too?

“Waterside Pavilion.”

“Going to the Waterside Pavilion, huh? Why don’t you tell Manager Ling?”

“I’ll tell her. I’m just going to stay a couple of days, then I’ll come back.”

“Alright,” said the maid.

Xu Chaomu packed some clothes she commonly wore and a few essentials; indeed, she was just leaving to return soon. She just wanted to avoid today and tomorrow.

At least for now, she didn’t want to see Shen Chi at all.

He could go wherever he liked. Did he want some quiet? Good, let him have his quiet in Los Angeles…

Los Angeles wasn’t far from Washington; he could go to Bai Man’s engagement party if he wished, no big deal.

She was clear-minded about it; emotions can’t be forced. If he still had old feelings for Bai Man, there was nothing she could do.

After the maid packed her things, she carried them downstairs.

Just as she was descending the stairs, Shen Chi happened to walk by.

Xu Chaomu did not expect such a coincidence; without lifting her head, she said to the maid, “Take it to the garage.”

Shen Chi frowned, “Where are you going?”

“Waterside Pavilion,” Xu Chaomu replied.

“What for?”

“Just to stay a few days.” Xu Chaomu actually wanted to say it was to avoid embarrassment.

But she wasn’t that kind of mean person, and though she could have said it to Shen Chi with no problem, she held back.

“Avoiding me?” Shen Chi asked.

“There’s no need.”

Finished speaking, Xu Chaomu said to the maid, “What are you standing there for?”

“Oh!” The maid hurriedly took Xu Chaomu’s belongings to the garage.

Shen Chi said nothing more; she was clearly avoiding him.

He had thought long and hard; he wanted her to come to Los Angeles with him and had even considered all aspects, but she refused.
