But she didn’t need that anymore.

He didn’t want her anymore, so she would leave. She would fulfill him and herself as well.

“Shen Chi, you don’t need to arrange my life for me. You are just a passerby in my life, losing you doesn’t matter.”

Shen Chi was seriously speaking those words to her, but at this point he laughed again.

“Looks like your studies have been going well recently; you even know how to use the word ‘passerby’ now.”

“I’m serious,” Xu Chaomu said with a solemn expression.

“I’m serious too,” Shen Chi looked at her, “Lou Yanli is quite good, and he’s the same age as you. He will take good care of you.”

“Of course, Shen Chi, he treats me very well. From now on, I don’t have to face you, an old man, every day. I am very relieved.”

“Chaomu, promise me, take good care of yourself.”

His voice was deep, carrying a profound depth like still water, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.

In fact, his thoughts were very simple. If he really couldn’t return from his trip to South Africa, and couldn’t take care of her for life, at least Lou Yanli was a boy worthy of her lifelong trust.

“Of course, I will definitely live very well. The days without you are the best days. But, in consideration of our eight years of being together day and night, I also wish you and Miss Bai happiness until old age, forever and ever.”

“Chaomu, would you really let me marry another woman?”

“All I can say is, someone willing to marry you is your good fortune.”

“Let’s eat,” Shen Chi touched her head and sat down tightly next to her.

He served her food, poured her soup, she didn’t need to lift a finger.

Hand-fed and waited on. It was all his own doing, no choice, it was his favorite thing to do.

“Is it very cold today? Can you sit farther away from me, please? If the servants see us, they will gossip about me again,” Xu Chaomu said with a scowl.

“I just want to look at you a bit longer.”

Xu Chaomu felt as if needles were pricking her heart, wave after wave, the pain was unbearable.

She almost cried as her nose turned sour.

But she still pursed her lips and said, “Looking at me affects my appetite.”

“You little brat.” He smiled indulgently, caressing her soft and silky hair, repeating the action untiringly.

Xu Chaomu thought, if only it could be like this for life, how nice it would be.

Even if she couldn’t marry him, it would still be good.

When the butler walked in again, she saw Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu sitting closely together, heads touching.

She froze for a good while, standing in place.

In the past, when Xu Chaomu didn’t stay at school, the young master wasn’t so close to her.

At that time, it seemed as though he was quite annoyed with Xu Chaomu, and apart from treating her not too badly, he wouldn’t get very close to her.

It was the first time the butler had seen Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu like this.

Shen Chi served Xu Chaomu a dish: “We have shrimp today, do you want me to peel it for you?”

“No need.”

“Why not? Are you not eating?”

“From now on, you can peel it for your baby, you don’t have to peel it for me anymore.” Xu Chaomu’s voice was somewhat choked.

“But I still have to make sure you’re fed properly, don’t I?”

Xu Chaomu didn’t understand his logic. Anyway, she had never won against this man in logical thinking.

“Master Shen, Miss Xu,” the butler stepped forward and served the freshly made dishes onto the table.

Actually, she couldn’t bear to disturb such a beautiful scene.

“Take your time eating. Let me know if you need anything else.”

So, the butler quickly left again, and even closed the door of the dining room.

Now it was just Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi left alone.

Shen Chi became even more unscrupulous, with wandering hands.

His hand slid from her hair down to her waist. Her waist was quite slender, just too thin, not enough to satisfy his touch.

Xu Chaomu dodged like she had been electrocuted and turned her face to look at him warily: “Don’t touch me!”

“Touching you a little won’t get you pregnant. If you feel wronged, you can touch me back, I don’t mind,” he responded with a shamelessly rogue expression.

Xu Chaomu felt that Shen Chi used to be quite decent. From when had he become so indecent…

It seemed… ever since she forcefully kissed him that time…

Or perhaps, he had always been a fake gentleman!

“Get your paws off me!” Xu Chaomu said angrily.

Previously, it was often Shen Chi who told her “Get your dirty paws off me”!

She had never imagined that the tables would turn and that one day she’d tell him the same thing.

“Be genteel. Let me hold you, maybe…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, swallowing it.

Maybe, there weren’t many chances left to hold her.

His eyes shimmered with a profound gleam, like the depths of a dark pool with no end in sight. In his pupils, her little figure was reflected upside down.

As the saying goes, a glance spans a millennium, a single dive lasts a lifetime.

“Let’s eat, do you want me to feed you?” Shen Chi changed his tone.

“Can you stay away from me, so I can eat properly?”

“I can’t.”

So, Xu Chaomu had no choice but to speed up eating. She silently shoveled rice in her bowl, silently eating her vegetables.

Then, his hand kept misbehaving, stroking her through her clothes.

Some men have wives to warm their beds; he could only watch his.

But he was enduring it. As long as he came back from South Africa smoothly, he would have plenty of time to train her.

“Mumu, you need to eat more. Look at your waist, all bones, it feels uncomfortable to touch,” Shen Chi shamelessly said, then pinched her waist.

“Damn it, Shen Chi, can’t you just let me eat properly?” Xu Chaomu blew up.

“You eat yours; I touch mine,” he said, feigning innocence.

“Isn’t your fourth brother’s wife enough for you to touch? If you’re that desperate, I can call her and ask her to come back for you.”

Shen Chi remained shamelessly: “With such a lovely beauty in front of me, why wouldn’t I touch?”

“You’re truly shameless! You jerk! I’m not eating anymore!”

Xu Chaomu threw down her chopsticks and stood up.

Shen Chi held her shoulders and coaxed her: “Alright, I won’t touch you anymore, eat slowly.”

Xu Chaomu looked at him warily for a few seconds, and seeing that he really had no intention of making further moves, she sat down to continue eating.

Shen Chi endured the discomfort. Xu Chaomu, this little hooligan, didn’t she realize the seven emotions and six desires that a normal man should have?

That’s right, in her eyes, he had always been inadequate.

One day, he would pin her down and show her in various ways whether he was really inadequate or not.

Even just for her, he would try his best to win the project in South Africa, not giving any other corporations the slightest opportunity.

He even kept the date of his departure to South Africa secret, all for the sake of a meticulous plan.

Finally, Xu Chaomu finished eating dinner, but Shen Chi hadn’t even moved his chopsticks once.

He was afraid of missing any chance to look at her. He couldn’t imagine how he would cope with being separated from her for one or two months.

They had never been apart for such a long time in the eight years they’d been together.

“I’m leaving,” Xu Chaomu said after wiping her hands, standing up.

“Didn’t you say you missed Dabai? Take it out for a walk. After the walk, I’ll take you to school,” Shen Chi suggested.

Xu Chaomu thought of that naughty dog, yes, she couldn’t bear to leave it behind.
