Okay, Shen Chis thin lips parted lightly.
On the other end of the line, Bai Man actually felt an inexplicable joy. Maybe she was really overthinking it. She was his fiance, a position that would not be
shaken.
People who knew her all said that she was the white moonlight that Shen Chi treasured in his palm.
Probably, she was really overthinking it.
B0xo.comHusband thank you, I love you, Bai Man was surrounded by happiness.
Before we are married, dont call me that, Shen Chis brow furrowed deeply, but his tone remained exceedingly calm and irrefutable.
Alright, I got it, I just got too excited. If youre not comfortable with it, I wont call you that, Bai Man smiled.
Mm, go to bed early.
You too, dont work too hard, it hurts me. Every time I see you so busy, I wish I could help share the burden, but unfortunately, I dont understand business, Bai Man sighed.
If theres nothing else, Im hanging up, Shen Chi said blandly.
Mm, I love you
As soon as Bai Mans words fell, Shen Chi hung up the phone.
As long as the two of them talked, Xu Chaomu stared out the window just as long. Although she couldnt make out what Bai Man was saying, she still recognized Bai Mans voice.
It was so tender it was sickening, she remembered it after hearing it just once. If she were a man, she would surely like Bai Man too.
Thinking this, she fell asleep without remembering her toothache.
When Old Cheng drove the car into the Shen Familys garage, Xu Chaomu had already fallen into a deep sleep.
President Shen, weve arrived! Old Cheng announced as usual.
Shh shes asleep, Shen Chi gestured for Old Cheng to lower his voice.
Old Cheng nodded, no longer speaking, and opened the car door for Shen Chi.
Because Xu Chaomus arm was injured, Shen Chi was exceptionally careful when he lifted her. He was afraid of waking her, so his movements were extraordinarily gentle.
Xu Chaomu wasnt heavy, and when Shen Chi held her, it was like holding a little cat, though this little cat was by no means well-behaved.
The Shen Family villa became particularly quiet at this time, and Shen Chi carried Xu Chaomu all the way out of the garage, through the garden, and upstairs.
The stairs in the Shen Family home were wooden, and Shen Chi lightened his footsteps, carefully ascending with her to the bedroom.
He gently laid her down on the bed and tucked her in with the blanket.
This girl truly would not know anything once she fell asleepif he sold her, she would probably still be dreaming.
After doing all this, Shen Chi did not leave but sat down at the bedside of Xu Chaomu.
He still remembered a few days ago when he had a bit to drink and ended up sleeping next to her. She was just as oblivious then as she was now.
Actually, this was best; being able to sleep until dawn was also a kind of happiness.
At least she wouldnt be like him, often waking up in the middle of the night, and once awake, unable to fall asleep again.
Not sure how long he had been watching her, Shen Chi eventually stood up and went back to his own room.
Xu Chaomu was awoken by a toothache, inhaling a breath of cold air and fumbling to turn on the bedside lamp.
She glanced at the clockit was two in the morning.
Her pain was so intense she gasped, and she could only cover her cheek, as if that might lessen the pain somewhat.
She didnt know who had carried her upstairs, perhaps it was Shen Chi? But she couldnt worry about that now, what she wanted the most was a painkiller!
There certainly werent any in her room, so she put on her slippers and decided to search downstairs.
Not wanting to disturb others, she didnt dare to turn on the lights and took a small nightlight she usually played with to go downstairs.
Unexpectedly, just as she started going through the living room, she seemed to hear the sound of an argument!
The voices were faint and indistinct, but occasionally audible. Xu Chaomus face turned white with fearit was two oclock in the morning!
Just as she covered her head and was about to return to her room, she heard a familiar voiceit was Zhou Ran!
Shen Cexian, Im not here to reopen old wounds with you this time, but dont think Im easy to bully. Youd better not provoke me!
Why was Zhou Ran at the Shens? Who was she arguing with? It was the middle of the night.
Xu Chaomu didnt have the habit of eavesdropping, but thinking back to what Zhou Ran had said to her that morning, her heart felt uncomfortable.
So, she slowly opened the living room door and moved towards the direction of the voices.
Perhaps, she wanted to understand why Zhou Ran wanted her to leave the Shens
The night was indeed cold; the lawn was covered with a layer of white frost. Mist drifted in the air, dampening her forehead and wetting her bangs.
As expected, the light in Shen Cexians room was on!
Ive given you what you wanted, what more do you expect? Cough cough, Shen Cexians voice, filled with rage. His health had not been good in recent years, and he would cough whenever he got agitated.
Shen Cexian, dont think I dont know what youre up to. Youve handed the Shen Group to Achi, but youre reluctant to sign the documents. Are you waiting for me to die, to then pull Achi down from the presidents position? Zhou Ran pressed aggressively, sparing no sentiment.
The presidents position is meant for the able. Achi is my son, Shihan is also my son! Cough cough Besides, look at the good son you raised, he has always refused to marry. Ive said itI cannot entrust the position of president to someone without an heir! Cough cough The Shen Group is a family business; it must be inherited by someone with the Shen surname!
Achi is only in his twenties, are you worried he wont have a son? Shen Cexian, dont play tricks with me! Im telling you, as long as Im alive, I will keep an eye on you! Lets see who dies first. Zhou Rans words were like thorns on a rose, each one making ones heart race.
Xu Chaomu was truly frightened by Zhou Ran. Was she too unfamiliar with Zhou Ran?
Previously, in her eyes, Zhou Ran was like a beautiful orchid, as if she was above all offense and praise. But Xu Chaomu never expected Zhou Ran to speak such words.
Zhou Ran Shen Cexians voice grew low, he called out Zhou Rans name with a spreading sadness, I know you hate me. I also know you dont trust me. If one day, I leave this world before you, will you be sad? Tell me.
Zhou Ran did not speak immediately, it took her a long time to speak slowly,
Sad? Why would I be sad; I will be very happy, very happy
Cough cough, cough cough Shen Cexians coughing intensified.
At two oclock in the morning, Xu Chaomu was chilled by their discussion. Shen Cexian. Zhou Ran called out his name, Give me the photo.
What photo? Cough cough
Dont play dumb.
Why do you still want the photo? Mengxi is already dead!
I just want the photo. Zhou Rans tone was very determined.
Xu Chaomu was completely stunned. Mengxi? Her mother, Xu Mengxi? Did Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian both know her mother? Why, why didnt she know anything
Then, why did Zhou Ran bring her to the Shens eight years ago?
Xu Chaomu felt cold all over, as if she were standing in an ice cellar..
