Chapter 914 -914: Giving Birth to This Child That Isn’t His

The sun on the balcony was pleasant, and Ji Shengxuan had even had some red wine prepared. It was quite enjoyable to gaze into the distance from the balcony.

Near the sea, one could clearly hear the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, “swoosh swoosh,” wave after wave, quite powerful.

The white foam was like a thousand layers of snow, glinting with specks of silver under the light, and even the air had a moist, briny scent.

Seagulls swooped en masse, flapping their wings as they flew. The azure sky and deep blue sea seemed to merge into one long line.

“Ji Shengxuan, the view here is nice. You’ve got good taste.”

Shen Chi picked up the red wine in front of him, squinting into the distance.

“Not as good as the Shen Family’s.” Ji Shengxuan smiled, “By the way, Shen Chi, you’ve come back from Los Angeles and you’re not going to see a certain young lady? Instead, you run to me?”

“I’ve seen her already,” Shen Chi said lightly.

He had watched her all night at Waterside Pavilion, and had seen her in the morning too, but he thought it would be better to calm down for a few days first.

Tomorrow, he planned to talk to his mother.

He had been conducting a covert investigation about Xu Chaomu’s father’s issue, and had even asked someone to inquire about the source of that blood sample, but to no avail.

His father, Shen Cexian, kept things too close to his chest. Once it was something Shen Cexian didn’t want him to know, it was nearly impossible for him to find out.

Of course, he wasn’t currently investing too much effort in Xu Chaomu’s father’s matter; he hadn’t even asked Xu Chaomu what she wanted.

If Xu Chaomu didn’t want to know who her father was or didn’t want him to continue the investigation, then he wouldn’t persist.

Similarly, if Xu Chaomu wanted to know who her father was or wanted to know the details, he would spare no effort.

“Seen her? She didn’t ask you to stay? Or… did you have a falling out?” Ji Shengxuan pressed.

“I’ll go back and see her tomorrow,” Shen Chi took a sip of red wine.

“Oh… I see.” Ji Shengxuan curled his lips and nodded with a look of understanding.

He had known Shen Chi for so long; wasn’t this man just a bit proud and concerned about face?

However, from his perspective, Xu Chaomu coming back after five years had changed a lot of Shen Chi’s pride.

But the leopard can’t change its spots; there was still a bit of that pridefulness.

“Ji Shengxuan, don’t just talk about me. You’re almost at the club every day. With so many beauties coming and going there, don’t tell me you haven’t taken a liking to any?” Shen Chi teased deliberately, “Your place seems really clean, not even a pair of ladies’ slippers to be seen.”

“Hmm? You want to introduce someone? Sure, I’m open to all comers.”

Ji Shengxuan gently swirled the wine glass in his hand, his movements languid but every gesture emanated elegance.

Shen Chi watched Ji Shengxuan across from him, ha, saying one thing and doing another behind people’s backs.

If he really wanted to find women, he wouldn’t still be single so many years after his divorce.

Shen Chi didn’t bring up Su Weiyang; it was well known among people close to Ji Shengxuan that the name Su Weiyang was taboo for him.

Who initiated the divorce back then was something probably only Ji Shengxuan and Su Weiyang knew for sure.

Shen Chi laughed helplessly and raised his glass, clinking it against Ji Shengxuan’s.

The two sat on the balcony, watching the seaside view outside while drinking red wine and having lunch.

During this time, Shen Chi received a phone call from Xiao Mo. It was just to report that the work in Los Angeles was proceeding smoothly and the matter Shen Chi had entrusted to him was being pursued.

While holding his phone, Shen Chi thought several times about calling Xu Chaomu but put it down each time.

He wasn’t one to hesitate, but when it came to Xu Chaomu, he just couldn’t find that decisive side of himself.

She was his Little Fairy, tormenting him until he was at a loss, unable to even find his most basic decisiveness…

“Shen Chi, how are your parents doing lately?” Ji Shengxuan asked with concern.

“The usual.” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“I heard from the people at the villa that Liu Rumei wants to see your father, but she has never been able to meet him?”

“I had someone block her.”

“Hmm…” Ji Shengxuan didn’t say much, Shen Chi knew it all too well.

Liu Rumei’s motives were never pure; she was simply waiting for Shen Cexian to fall gravely ill so she could get a substantial portion of the family estate.

When Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian divorced, she didn’t ask for anything, which probably made Liu Rumei smug for many years.

However, she probably didn’t anticipate the events of these past dozen years.

Thinking she could bypass Shen Chi to snatch the family estate, Liu Rumei was still too naive, but her son, Shen Shihan, was a different story.

“Ji Shengxuan, have you ever thought about who you will leave this vast family business to in the future?” Shen Chi deliberately glanced at Ji Shengxuan.

Ji Shengxuan simply smiled faintly and took a sip of red wine.

“That’s not something I need to consider right now.” Ji Shengxuan was very calm, his gaze fixed on the distant sea.

Shen Chi didn’t press him further, and decided to wait until he found the boy named Su Shaoyan.

However, he feared that by then, it would be another storm of blood and conflict.

Given Su Weiyang’s character, she would definitely not hand over Su Shaoyan to Ji Shengxuan.

After chatting for a while, the servants gradually brought out all the dishes to the balcony.

“Young Master, Mr. Shen, please enjoy your meal.” The servant bowed respectfully.

“Thank you.”

“It’s really rare for Mr. Shen to visit. Try the dishes prepared by my kitchen,” Ji Shengxuan said with a smile.

His smile was cultured and gentle, and his handsome face, illuminated by the warm sunlight, seemed even more chiseled and strikingly attractive.

“Come visit my place someday.” Shen Chi said.

“I won’t come over for now, let’s wait until that little girl of yours has had her child,” Ji Shengxuan said, “Rest assured, the gifts and red envelope are already prepared.”

In Ji Shengxuan’s memory, Xu Chaomu was still that carefree little girl, very kind and very innocent.

Of course, in his eyes, Shen Chi was still a carefree bachelor, and it was unexpected that he suddenly became a father.

Indeed, a lot had happened in those five years.

But what surprised him the most was that Shen Chi was actually willing to let Xu Chaomu have the child that was not his.

Happy fatherhood, raising another man’s child, that was not the Shen Chi he knew.

“Make sure the red envelope is a generous one.” Shen Chi curved the corners of his lips.

“It’s not for you.” Ji Shengxuan said, “It’s for your son.”

Shen Chi laughed and took a sip of red wine.

Ji Shengxuan couldn’t see any hint of a negative emotion on Shen Chi’s face; at least, Shen Chi could speak openly with him about the child, showing he truly didn’t care anymore.

It wasn’t easy for a man to arrive at such a state.

Moreover, Shen Chi was certainly no ordinary man.

The two sat on the balcony, eating lunch and chatting, getting on quite well.

The weather today was perfect for casual conversations, especially while sitting on Ji Shengxuan’s balcony, overlooking the boundless deep blue sea, which could soothe one’s mood considerably.

Whether it was the pleasant conversation or perhaps a few extra glasses of wine, when Shen Chi’s phone lit up with an incoming call, he didn’t notice.
