Chapter 898 -898: The Fourth Young Mistress is Missing

“See for yourself.” Yu Weiwei took out a makeup mirror from her bag and handed it to Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu looked up and saw her reflection in the mirror, looking quite haggard with poor complexion. But… she wasn’t distraught, was she?

What was there for her to be so distraught about…

“Thinking about President Shen again? Other than him, I don’t know who else you could be thinking about,” Yu Weiwei put away the mirror and said with a smile.

“You see, I was actually thinking about you, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep all night,” Xu Chaomu said.

“No, no, no, that would be a terrible sin on my part, I can’t handle it, really can’t handle it, don’t think about me, I’ll be chased down by President Shen,” Yu Weiwei pretended to be scared.

Xu Chaomu chuckled, she stroked Yu Weiwei’s hair, and said with a smile: “How come you never come to keep me company?”

Yu Weiwei said, “Seeing on TV how lovey-dovey you and President Shen are, how could I dare to come? If I did, I’d be breaking up a loving couple and become a third wheel. Secondly, it would be awkward for me.”

Yu Weiwei couldn’t help but remember the last time she saw Xu Chaomu, when Shen Chi was very affectionate with her, and she truly wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into during meals.

“How have things been with you and Li Beiting lately? How’s your baby? Is he or she behaving?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“Things have been really good between us recently, he’s been helping me manage the institute, and I think my baby is much better behaved than yours.”

“Impossible, you’re more troublesome than I am, so your baby should be a little devil,” Xu Chaomu disagreed.

Yu Weiwei disagreed as well: “You’re the more troublesome one.”

“You.”

“You!”

The two of them bickered playfully, and soon both were laughing.

Xu Chaomu’s mood improved a lot, and she pulled Yu Weiwei over to watch TV with her.

The two of them watched and chatted about the TV show’s plot, drifting from one topic to another.

Li Beiting, worried about Yu Weiwei, watched the clock and made a call to her.

“Weiwei, have you arrived at Chaomu’s place yet?”

“I’m here, I’ve been here for a while, don’t worry, okay? Finish your work well, the boss will check when he gets back,” Yu Weiwei said.

“Remember to call me whenever you go anywhere, and also, drive slower!” Li Beiting’s tone became serious as he gave her instructions.

“Got it, got it,” Yu Weiwei hung up the phone.

As soon as she ended the call, Yu Weiwei grumbled, “This man is becoming more and more nagging, I never realized he was such a nag before. If I had known he was this nagging, I might not have chosen him.”

“Nagging is good, someone fussing over you can make you feel very blessed.”

Xu Chaomu was genuinely a bit envious. Shen Chi never fussed; it was always him who found her to be a nag.

“Depends on the person’s character, I guess… I can’t even imagine your guy nagging,” Yu Weiwei shrugged her shoulders.

“Mhm,” Xu Chaomu felt a bit downhearted.

“We’ve watched TV, and it’s getting dark, Chaomu, let’s go eat. If we don’t leave now, we’ll hit the rush hour traffic and get stuck,” Yu Weiwei helped her to stand up.

Considering Yu Weiwei’s point, Xu Chaomu nodded and followed her out of Waterside Pavilion.

Yu Weiwei picked a pretty nice Chinese restaurant, and she ordered several dishes that both she and Xu Chaomu loved.

“Chaomu, their Three Cup Chicken is the house special, we should order it.”

“Sure, you take care of ordering, I’m in charge of eating,” said Xu Chaomu, sipping her drink.

There were many such unassuming mid-sized Chinese restaurants in C City, inconspicuous but full of life.

They weren’t as upscale as the restaurants Shen Chi brought her to, but actually, Xu Chaomu preferred it here. Though, it really depended on her mood; wherever she went was fine when she was in high spirits.

The restaurant was bustling with many people, nearly full, all chattering away animatedly.

Because it was so noisy inside the restaurant, Xu Chaomu didn’t hear her phone ring when the butler called her.

The butler called three times, with no answer, and she became anxious.

She had no choice but to seek Shen Chi’s help, “Fourth Young Master, the Fourth Young Madame has disappeared, and she won’t answer my calls.”

Shen Chi was sitting on the sofa working, waiting for his meal.

“I’ll handle it.”

After speaking, Shen Chi took out his own phone and called Xu Chaomu.

This time, Xu Chaomu heard it.

Seeing it was Shen Chi, she picked up.

Hadn’t he been speaking to her in polite platitudes since this morning? So if she answered the call, it was no big deal. Small talk—who couldn’t manage that?

“Where are you? Why didn’t you answer your phone?” Shen Chi asked, his voice deep.

“I’m dining with Weiwei.”

“Oh, remember to keep your phone with you next time. The butler was very anxious when she couldn’t reach you.”

“Yes, you’re right.”

“You!” Shen Chi was helpless.

“Try not to eat out, whatever you want to eat, you can ask the kitchen to make it for you,” Shen Chi frowned and advised again.

Xu Chaomu bit her lip. She didn’t want to say much. According to her past habits, she would definitely retort, “Isn’t it just an occasional meal? Is it really that important? You can’t control everything I do, can you?”

However, today, she was determined to keep it formal with him, replying indifferently, “That’s right, you’re correct.”

“You!” Shen Chi was irritated by her for the second time.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. Have a smooth trip,” Xu Chaomu said.

Yu Weiwei was looking at the menu. Xu Chaomu was being so polite—who was she talking to?

Xu Chaomu hung up intentionally on Shen Chi, leaving him frustrated, and he threw his phone aside.

“Fourth Young Master, did Chaomu say anything? What is she doing?” the butler asked cautiously.

“Nothing, she’s dining with friends.”

“Oh, then I’m relieved. I was worried that the staff at Waterside Pavilion wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on her,” the butler expressed her concern.

Shen Chi didn’t say anything and continued to work hard.

The butler didn’t leave, standing hesitantly in place for a few seconds.

After a while, she mustered up the courage to speak, “Fourth Young Master, could you please not go? I’m worried about Chaomu.”

Shen Chi still didn’t speak, continuing to type on the keyboard, his sharp eyes fixed intently on the screen.

“Fourth Young Master, Chaomu’s pregnant, and there are many things she really can’t handle on her own. She often doesn’t listen to what I say. But it’s different with you, she is willing to listen to you,” the butler persuaded again.

Silence, still silence.

In her heart, the butler sighed, feeling helpless as she watched Shen Chi’s expression darken.

She feared disturbing Shen Chi’s work and losing her job, so she dared not continue. She had already said more than enough today, far beyond what a servant should say.

If she continued, Shen Chi would surely get angry.

At this moment, his expression was already quite displeased.

“When did she start listening to me?” Shen Chi said dismissively after a while.

“The Fourth Young Madame still cares a lot about what you think,” she responded.

“Hardly,” Shen Chi retorted coldly.

The butler had expected Shen Chi to become angry, but upon hearing his tone, the tight string in her heart suddenly relaxed.
