Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Missing a Baby (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Translator: 549690339

The one waiting for him was not her. It was Bai Man.

When he returned from South Africa, Bai Man’s belly would be quite big by then. At that time, the three of them standing together as a family would be the happiest.

She, an outsider, what was she really?

Perhaps the topic they were discussing was too melancholic, or maybe Dabai sensed something, for it kept whining “woo woo” next to Xu Chaomu, rubbing against her hand.

Xu Chaomu looked down and petted Dabai, “Dabai, let’s go for a walk.”

After speaking, Xu Chaomu walked forward with Dabai, ignoring Shen Chi.

Shen Chi had no choice but to catch up and took hold of her other hand, keeping her from moving about.

Xu Chaomu pulled her hand away irritably, to no avail. Oh, it never worked; this man was very domineering.

So Xu Chaomu gave up struggling and glanced at Shen Chi indifferently, “I’m holding Dabai with one hand and you with the other. Shen Chi, don’t you think you’re acting like a little dog?”

Shen Chi’s face immediately filled with black lines.

This kind of talk was something only Xu Chaomu dared to say to him, and he couldn’t even get angry about it.

The girl had a short temper. If he showed any anger, he would likely scare her away again.

Xu Chaomu continued mischievously, “If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as your agreement.”

Instantly, Xu Chaomu’e mood improved again. In the past, she was always at the receiving end of his teasing.

“Chaomu, is it really good for you to be like this?” Shen Chi said helplessly, gripping her hand tighter in his palm.

“Good, really good, exceptionally good.”

“Why are you such a jerk?”

“With the old jerk, comes the little jerk. Right, Dabai?” Xu Chaomu tugged at the leash.

Dabai immediately barked “woof woof” twice, seemingly in full agreement with Xu Chaomu’s words.

Today, Dabai was exceptionally well-behaved, completely on her side, much to Xu Chaomu’s delighted surprise.

Shen Chi felt even more exasperated. The so-called old jerk… wasn’t that a reference to him?

If the little jerk was bad, then the old jerk… Shen Chi was both amused and helpless; she did it on purpose.

Beneath the quiet night sky, on the wide road, they walked side by side. Dabai ran around playfully as if jubilant.

The evening breeze brought wafts of floral scent. Oleanders bloomed abundantly on the roadside, their red and white flowers resembling a paradise.

With the wind, petals fell on Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi’s shoulders, turning the whole road outside the villa into a fairyland.

Just then, a pink oleander petal landed on Dabai’s head. Xu Chaomu squatted down and laughed merrily.

“Dabai, you’re a boy, but I find you look quite pretty wearing flowers.”

Dabai shook its head, trying to flick off the flower.

Xu Chaomu was relentless; for every shake, she placed another petal on it. Left with no choice, Dabai looked at her with a pair of resentful eyes.

“Hehe.” Xu Chaomu kept laughing, thoroughly enjoying herself.

They walked shoulder to shoulder, one step at a time.

“Chaomu, I always feel like something’s missing.” Shen Chi finally spoke.

“Missing what?” Xu Chaomu curled her lips.

“A baby.”

“That’s easy, just find Dabai a girlfriend.”

Shen Chi’s face was full of black lines, Xu Chaomu was adorably dense.

“I’m not talking about a puppy.” Shen Chi said helplessly.

“Hm? Oh.” Xu Chaomu realized, he was probably talking about a little baby.

Bai Man was already pregnant, and he already had a baby on the way. Bai Man probably hadn’t told him yet, and remembering Bai Man’s instructions, Xu Chaomu didn’t feel it was right to say anything.

But the formerly pleasant mood was suddenly shrouded in a mist.

So she pulled at her hand, not wanting to be held in his palm.

“Don’t move, it’s cold at night.” After speaking, he gripped her hand even tighter.

In the moonlight, he looked down to see Xu Chaomu’s clear eyes, dazzling like stars. Every time she blinked, her long eyelashes fluttered lightly.

He looked down at her, his heart filled with nothing but sweetness.

Love was like a cup of poison, once touched, impossible to let go.

He loved her as much as life itself.

He would give her a home, and only her.

In the future, the three of them walking with Dabai would be so blissful.

Love meant having feelings only for her. From then on, no one else could catch his eye.

Having seen the vast ocean, all other waters seemed insignificant; after all the mountain magics, nothing else was a cloud.

“I’m not cold.” Xu Chaomu said irritably.

“Then I am.” Shen Chi was helpless.

“There are many ways to keep warm. You could hug Dabai for warmth, you could run, you could… mmm…”

Shen Chi didn’t wait for her to finish. He grabbed her shoulders, gulped, and pinned her against the roadside guardrail.

Sealing her lips with his, his kisses rained down on her, dense and unyielding as a downpour.

The adorably dense Xu Chaomu had not yet reacted when he charged forth, breaching her defenses, prying open her lips, and deeply entwining with her.

The streetlight cast a gentle glow upon their faces, a vision of tranquility and contentment.

Shen Chi’s kisses were tender and meticulous, like the soothing charm of an early spring breeze.

This man was always a great kisser, and Xu Chaomu felt jolts of electricity with his touch, leaving her weak and powerless.

As her grip on the leash loosened, Dabai wisely retreated to the side, lying down at the corner to keep watch for them.

Her little fists pummeled Shen Chi’s back, every time he kissed her, it felt like forbidden love…

His kisses were unstoppable, sinking deeper with each one.

It had been many days since he had kissed her like this. He missed her.

His kisses for her were always pure and beautiful, unadulterated. Even though he knew she didn’t understand, someday, he would tell her bit by bit.

He couldn’t bear her worries, so the future path he laid for her would be smooth. Just give him a little more time.

He was going to win that project in South Africa effortlessly, he was going to properly handle the Bai Family affairs, he would convince everyone…

All he wanted was for her to be well.

The evening wind caressed Shen Chi’s face, and he slowly became intoxicated. He coveted her so much that he didn’t let go until her face turned red and she was gasping for breath.

“Chaomu.” He was unflustered, his smile hinting ambiguity, “There’s one more way to keep warm. Hmm, I just demonstrated it to you.”

Struggling to catch her breath, Xu Chaomu glared at him, “Shen Chi… you, you, you are despicable and shameless…”

“Not at all.” He spread his hands, an image of innocence.

In fact, there was another way, ‘Not suitable for children’ level. Mmm, he would teach her that later.

He caressed her cheek, smiling radiantly, “Xu Chaomu the little hooligan, didn’t you want to kiss me from the very first moment you saw me?”

“That was the Xu Chaomu of the past.”

“What’s the difference?”

“The current Xu Chaomu, really dislikes you.” Xu Chaomu glared, panting between each word.

The word “dislike” made Shen Chi pause, his hand lingered on her cheek. He sighed deeply in his heart…

Xu Chaomu swatted away his hand and pushed past him towards the roadside.

Dabai was doing a good job keeping watch for them, looking around with an alert expression, utterly dutiful.

“Dabai, let’s go, it’s time for our walk.” Xu Chaomu took the leash.
