Chapter 896 -896: Sharing the Same Bed

Xu Chaomu didn’t listen, and instead ate even faster.

Shen Chi saw her in the mirror, slightly helpless, but… he still preferred her this way.

Xu Chaomu picked up another yellow candy, put it in her mouth to taste, and it was pineapple-flavored.

Shen Chi saw the contentment on her face, and the corners of his mouth finally curled up into a faint smile.

“Which flavor do you like?” Shen Chi asked.

“Don’t like any of them,” Xu Chaomu replied, “I eat them just so as not to waste.”

“Leave a few for me,” Shen Chi said.

He shouldn’t have said that. As soon as he did, Xu Chaomu quickly finished all the candy in the box, not leaving a single one behind.

Shen Chi was truly helpless, utterly so. However, Xu Chaomu like this was much more pleasing to the eye than before.

He laughed and continued to drive.

All the candies were gone, and Xu Chaomu began to idle once again, not wanting to initiate conversation with Shen Chi.

“Mumu, would you consider going to Los Angeles with me?” Shen Chi asked for her opinion again.

“Shen Chi,” Xu Chaomu raised her voice, finally angry, “Can’t you stop pestering me? Haven’t I told you that I’m not going? I’m seven months pregnant, it’s really not convenient for me to travel. Los Angeles is so far away, what are you even thinking?”

Hearing Xu Chaomu’s words, Shen Chi didn’t get angry, at least not as furious as he was yesterday.

“I’ll take care of the entire journey, you won’t have to bother. Medical conditions are better abroad, and so is the environment. Come with me, and wait for the baby to be born,” Shen Chi said.

“No need to bother? Shen Chi, you make it sound so easy. Adjusting to the time zone, to a sleep cycle, to dietary and language habits, aren’t all of these a bother? As a pregnant woman, I don’t want to be troubled with these things; you can go wherever you want.”

“There are too many complications here at home, and I think you understand what I mean,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

His tone was very calm, with no particular emotion, like the undisturbed water in spring.

At those words, Xu Chaomu bit her lower lip tightly.

Understand? How could she not understand?

Hah, it was just the issues between her mother and his mother. Why beat around the bush?

She said she wouldn’t do anything to his mother, but he didn’t believe her.

After a while, Xu Chaomu moved her lips: “I think, indeed, you really need to go abroad and have some quiet time.”

“You…” Shen Chi was at a loss.

“Let’s leave it at that, no need to say anything more,” Xu Chaomu said as she looked out the window.

After dropping that line, Xu Chaomu truly didn’t speak another word to him. Sometimes he wanted to talk, but her face was expressionless.

The car arrived at Waterside Pavilion as the evening fell, the sky resplendent with sunset glow, calm and serene. The lingering orange afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled over the Waterside Pavilion, making the beautifully carved pavilion even more splendid.

Shen Chi stopped the car but did not drive into the garage; he truly had no intention of staying.

A servant hurried over and promptly opened the car doors for Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi.

Shen Chi got out of the car one step ahead of Xu Chaomu. He walked over to the back seat and helped her out.

Xu Chaomu didn’t refuse his help, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, he grasped it firmly.

Xu Chaomu knew how to act, at least in front of others, the show had to go on.

It was as he escorted her to the living room that he slipped something into her palm.

It was cold to the touch; Xu Chaomu lowered her head.

It was the Ruby Ring, its gem still shining radiantly.

“Put it on yourself,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

Xu Chaomu moved her lips but simply took the ring without saying a word.

Walking to the couch in the living room, Xu Chaomu broke free from his grasp and said without expression, “You can leave now.”

“I know.”

Although Shen Chi said that, he didn’t move away; he lowered his head to look at her face.

Just as Xu Chaomu tried to dodge his intense gaze, he held her shoulders and kissed her lips again.

This was the second time he had kissed her today.

Apart from wanting to kiss her, he didn’t know what to say or how to say it. The atmosphere was too awkward; they had never been this estranged before.

He held her lips, entangled for a long time.

Xu Chaomu had no room to resist—in such matters, he had always been domineering.

While kissing her, his hands gently massaged her shoulders, starting gently and then without restraint.

For a moment, the living room was filled with their intertwining breaths, intense and thick.

Xu Chaomu grabbed his shoulders, trying to push him away, but she had no strength in her body and had to give up.

Only after he had his fill of kissing did she manage to escape from his clutches.

“Behave,” Shen Chi caressed her soft hair as if petting his own little cat.

He looked at her lips, a bit swollen from his kisses, the corners of his lips curved up, and he couldn’t help but peck at her lips again gently.

“You can leave now,” Xu Chaomu repeated.

“Okay,” Shen Chi responded, “Call me if you need anything.”

“…”

Seeing her without a reaction, Shen Chi shook his head helplessly, took a few more glances at her, and then reluctantly left the living room, leaving Waterside Pavillion.

The moment Shen Chi left, it was as if Xu Chaomu breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, it was her first time feeling such suppression.

When she was with him, it had always been easy and peaceful, but this time, it was very oppressive, like the heaviness in one’s chest before a summer rain, unable to catch her breath.

Once he left, she sat on the couch and turned on the TV, listlessly flipping through channels.

“Fourth Young Madam, you’ve finally returned. I saw the Fourth Young Master driving away; will he come back tonight?” Asked a maid as she walked in.

“He’s going abroad tomorrow and won’t be coming back.”

“Okay, then, Fourth Young Madam, I’ll go get the fruit salad I just made.”

“Alright,” Xu Chaomu nodded her head.

She felt listless, and the first person she thought of after Shen Chi departed was Yu Weiwei, although Yu Weiwei, now having a man, had long forgotten about her.

“Chaomu, why did you have time to call me today?” Yu Weiwei asked with a laugh.

“Just concerned about you.”

“Is that so? I don’t quite believe it. Let me guess, is it because you’re feeling lonely and bored?”

“What are you talking about, I’m pregnant. How could a pregnant woman feel such loneliness?”

“According to common knowledge, pregnant women have needs too, especially someone like you whose husband is often away on business trips.”

“Damn it, Yu Weiwei, there you go being improper again,” Xu Chaomu snorted coldly. “Could it be that you’re the one often unsatisfied lately?”

“Hehe, my husband is with me every day,” Yu Weiwei said deliberately.

“Be careful, you’re not past the first three months’ safety period yet. As someone who has been through it, I advise you to try to avoid sharing a bed with your husband at night,” Xu Chaomu coldly snorted.

Yu Weiwei was showing off her love life again, in front of her. She used to hate Li Beiting as if there was no worse person, and now she clung to him as if her life depended on it.
