Chapter 1066 - Chapter 1066 Chapter 1066 You and President Shens Cold War

Chapter 1066: Chapter 1066: You and President Shen’s Cold War Chapter 1066: Chapter 1066: You and President Shen’s Cold War Before, she used to think children were so annoying, all noise and fuss, but now, she just wanted to watch them make a racket.

While watching, Xiao Mo sent her a text message: “Next time, I’ll record a video for you.”

Xu Chaomu smiled; Xiao Mo was truly attentive, always knowing what she wanted and what she didn’t.

Before, she had said he was low in emotional intelligence, but in fact, he was really quite clever.

She didn’t reply to the text, but instead, she returned his message with a phone call.

“Xiao Mo, thank you for sending me the photo. Weiwei’s little dumpling is so cute; I like it.”

“Being formal with me again. If you keep this up, I’ll hardly recognize you as the Xu Chaomu I used to know,” Xiao Mo laughed.

Xu Chaomu also laughed, gently saying, “When Weiwei’s baby starts talking, have Weiwei teach him to call me ‘Aunt Chaomu.'”

“Alright, Aunt Chaomu.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Aunt Chaomu, pretty aunt, smart aunt, aunt who knows how to make money.”

Xiao Mo laughed; this side of Xu Chaomu was even more adorable, just like a child.

“So when you have kids of your own, are you going to have them call you ‘pretty mom, smart mom, mom who knows how to make money’?” Xiao Mo’s face wore a serene smile.

“Exactly, so you need to find me a cute baby, so they will call me that. A baby who isn’t cute certainly won’t pay me any attention,” Xu Chaomu grumbled.

Xiao Mo pondered for a moment and considered that if Xu Chaomu’s baby inherited certain someone’s personality, then they might not be necessarily cute.

“How about… having one yourself?” Xiao Mo asked.

“I’m not having kids,” Xu Chaomu sternly said, her face serious.

“Okay, okay, then you won’t have them,” Xiao Mo agreed.

“Xiao Mo… have you been very busy lately? If you’re not, could you help me find a little treasure first?” Xu Chaomu pleaded.

“You’re still out of town. Even if you bring one back, you can’t take care of it. No rush.”

“Alright, but keep it in mind, I’m counting on you.”

“Definitely, for now, just play with Wealth,” Xiao Mo coaxed her.

Xu Chaomu flipped through the photos of the little dumpling on her phone, nodding, “Okay, then. You must find one as cute as the little dumpling.”

“Don’t worry, definitely cuter than the little dumpling.”

Xiao Mo thought that if he could find Xu Chaomu’s baby, they would definitely be cuter than the little dumpling, after all, the genes from both parents would be better.

Although a certain someone’s temper wasn’t great, Xiao Mo had to admit that someone had good genes.

On the matter of who the baby’s father was, he always believed Xu Chaomu’s words; if Xu Chaomu said it was Shen Chi, then he believed it.

“Chaomu, I have a question to ask you,” Xiao Mo said.

“Hmm? Go ahead, ask whatever you want to ask, anything’s fine.”

“Hm… I want to ask you a rather private question. What was the cold war with CEO Shen about in November?”

Xu Chaomu was startled; she hadn’t expected Xiao Mo to ask her this question.

Back in November, she had tried hard to erase everything about that month from her memory, but Xiao Mo casually brought it all back to her.

Those memories were painful to the bone.

“Him and I…” Xu Chaomu started off faintly, but then she bowed her head again soon after.

Her and him, what more could they possibly have…

Recalling the time before the preterm birth, she truly had been very unhappy and quite saddened.

If he really cared about her and her baby, why did he give her the cold shoulder when she was pregnant and even flew to Los Angeles?

Even when she took the initiative to cozy up to him by deliberately adding mustard to his coffee to strike up a conversation, he ignored her.

It was not until she lost the child that he showed concern for her, coaxed her, and played with her, but… didn’t he feel that he had gone too far?

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and placed her phone on the table, biting on the straw of her lemon tea.

“Chaomu, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring up those unpleasant memories,” Xiao Mo apologized, sensing her change in emotion.

He just really wanted to figure out what had happened between them.

It must have been related to the incident from thirteen years ago; aside from that, there was no reason for their estrangement to lead to a cold war between them.

He strongly suspected that Bai Man was involved in that matter.

“It’s fine,” Xu Chaomu shook her head.

After all, it was in the past, and life had to go on.

“Tell me, I need to know,” Xiao Mo spoke faintly, hinting but not pressing further.

Xu Chaomu bit her straw again, not quite understanding Xiao Mo’s intention, but she knew that Xiao Mo wasn’t someone who pried into others’ affairs or liked to snoop into people’s privacy.

Perhaps… was it Shen Chi who had asked him to inquire?

No, that couldn’t be, Shen Chi didn’t know her whereabouts.

Was there some other reason?

As she pondered this, Xiao Mo spoke again, “If you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to.”

Asking the person directly was of course best, but if Xu Chaomu didn’t want to talk about it, he would have to visit the Shen Family and ask the butler, or try to find Zhou Ran. That would be more roundabout and not as trustworthy as asking Xu Chaomu directly.

“It’s not that,” Xu Chaomu quickly said, she didn’t mean to refuse.

Xiao Mo was a friend, and there was no need to hide anything from a friend. Besides, that matter wasn’t such a big deal.

Xu Chaomu took a sip of her lemon tea, and said lightly, “Actually, it’s not a big deal, it’s just that Shen Chi didn’t trust me. If he didn’t trust me, so be it, anyway I’ll never have anything to do with him again in this life.”

Xiao Mo frowned, not trust? How could Shen Chi not trust Xu Chaomu? Regarding that incident from thirteen years ago, maybe he just truly couldn’t find a solution and was frustrated inside.

So… perhaps he unintentionally hurt Xu Chaomu.

But no matter what, Xiao Mo had to admit, Shen Chi was in the wrong that one time.

“Let’s start from the beginning. One day in November, he wasn’t at home, and a house staff gave me a courier…”

While recalling the events, Xu Chaomu relayed everything that had happened to Xiao Mo.

She didn’t hide anything, after all, there was no point in hiding it from Xiao Mo, even though he was Shen Chi’s man.

She told Xiao Mo everything, from receiving the audio evidence to arranging a meeting with Zhou Ran, to the day Shen Chi suddenly returned home.

Xiao Mo’s frown deepened, there definitely was something fishy. He knew that Shen Chi’s departure from C City wouldn’t have been without a catalyst.

If Shen Chi had been there, the house staff wouldn’t have had the opportunity, nor would they dare to act.

If Shen Chi wasn’t there, everything would become much easier!

If he wasn’t mistaken, the person who sent things to Xu Chaomu had to be Bai Man!

Bai Man knew very clearly what the weak point was between Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu. The moment that weak point was exploited, a cold war would be triggered without fail!

Five years ago, wasn’t it by using this that she drove Xu Chaomu away?

So it appeared, this long con had been meticulously put into play a long time ago. This Bai Man, she was playing the long game.

Such deep cunning sent a shiver down Xiao Mo’s spine.
