Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Take This Opportunity to Conceive a Child Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Take This Opportunity to Conceive a Child Xu Chaomu finished speaking, paused for a moment, did not continue, and stirred the lemon tea in her cup with a straw, then shook the cup.

The ice cubes in the transparent glass cup floated up and down, resembling those in the ocean.

After a long while, Xiao Mo finally spoke, “I know now, sorry, for bringing up those unpleasant memories again.”

“Are you asking this… because he asked you to?” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.

“No,” Xiao Mo simply uttered two words.

He still couldn’t explain the whole situation to her now, if she detected even the slightest hint, she would surely want a clear explanation.

Especially the matter of Bai Man hurting her baby, he couldn’t reveal a thing!

He knew a mother’s strength far exceeded everything else.

He wanted her to be happy, as for other matters, he would leave them to himself and President Shen.

Seeing that Xiao Mo didn’t want to say much, Xu Chaomu didn’t ask further and silently stirred her lemon tea.

Small bubbles emerged from the cup, each bursting one after another.

“Chaomu, have you had dinner? Are you getting used to A City?” Xiao Mo asked with concern.

“I’m eating. It’s pretty good, Chuqing is with me, I’m glad to have her,” said Xu Chaomu.

“I’ll make a point to thank her personally for taking such good care of you.”

Xu Chaomu didn’t speak, only silently watching the bubbles in her cup.

Finally, she spoke softly, “Xiao Mo… I’m homesick.”

Xiao Mo was slightly startled, “You can come back after the project ends, just wait a bit longer.”

“I miss my mother,” Xu Chaomu continued.

After talking so much with Xiao Mo, when it came to her mother, she couldn’t help but feel sour in her heart. Those past memories emerged bit by bit, entwining tightly around her heart like water plants.

Hearing Xu Chaomu’s melancholic tone, something stirred in Xiao Mo’s heart.

He realized he had touched her deepest wound.

That wound, no one else could touch.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked those questions,” guilt rose in Xiao Mo’s heart.

“It’s okay,” Xu Chaomu lowered her head and said softly, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up.”

With that, Xu Chaomu hung up the phone.

She was truly a bit upset; she feared she would suddenly cry while on the call, so she just put down the phone.

Xiao Mo sighed, inadvertently having touched her wound.

He felt helpless, thinking that now he could only spend time finding Chaomu’s child to truly comfort her heart.

Apart from that child, there was nothing else that could stir her heart anymore.

…

A few days later, Dr. Li returned from Y City, and Xiao Mo implemented complete surveillance on her, knowing clearly about every call she made and every person she met.

Bai Man had indeed lowered her guard and stopped calling her.

During this period, Bai Man had been constantly with Shen Chi.

That evening, Bai Man had invited Shen Chi out again, choosing a bar as the location.

Shen Chi had by this time gathered all the evidence of Bai Man’s activities, including some contracts; he had also made her sign them.

Therefore, when she invited him, he could refuse if possible.

This time was no exception.

“I have to organize a meeting tonight; you go have fun, be good,” Shen Chi declined.

Bai Man frowned, coquettishly dissatisfied, “Why do you have to have a meeting again, who has meetings at night, are you sure you don’t want to see me?”

“Of course not, how could I not want to see you,” Shen Chi said expressionlessly, “It’s just that the business partners are Germans; they value work efficiency and insist on having the meeting tonight.”

“All right, all right, just teasing you. I’m not one of those clingy little girls; you don’t need to explain it to me; I can understand,” Bai Man said with a laugh.

“As long as you understand,” Shen Chi responded, still expressionless.

After a few more words, Shen Chi hung up the phone.

In fact, there was no meeting that night. It was just an excuse he had made up.

By now, he was ready to reel in his net and no longer had to coddle Bai Man. The catch, however, needed to be hauled in slowly.

Once he put his phone down, he retrieved his car from the garage and returned to Waterside Pavilion.

After being hung up on by Shen Chi, Bai Man felt a surge of anger and hurled her phone onto the sofa!

“Meeting? Another meeting! Why is it always meetings or social engagements these days? Could it be that he has found someone new?” Bai Man muttered to herself.

Anxious, she immediately made another call to her assistant.

“Miss Bai.”

“Check for me if Shen Chi has been surrounded by any little vixens lately,” Bai Man snarled.

“Understood, I will check right away.”

She refused to believe that these little vixens could outsmart her; they’d better scram while they could. If she found out, she surely wouldn’t spare them!

By then, it would be too late for tears and regrets.

Lately, she had been regularly seen accompanying Shen Chi to various functions. Did they not see that?

After a short while, the assistant called back.

“Miss Bai, just a few models and actresses have had dinner with Mr. Shen.”

“Who exactly? Let me hear,” Bai Man said.

“Okay.” The assistant recited a list of names.

“Show them some color,” Bai Man scoffed coldly.

“Got it,” said the assistant, nodding.

Bai Man hung up the phone, feeling triumphant. Steal her man? They had better be worthy.

This man Shen Chi–she intended to have him.

But what irked her was that Shen Chi had been nursing a back injury lately and couldn’t share her bed, otherwise, she would have seized the opportunity to get pregnant.

Once she had a child, everything would be in order.

Thinking of this, her eyes flickered, and she remembered something else.

She called another one of her assistants: “Hello, did you make the rounds to the welfare organizations today?”

“Miss Bai, as per your instructions, we donated supplies to various welfare organizations. I personally visited the one you are particularly concerned about.”

“Good, any problems?”

“None whatsoever; everything in order.”

“Fine. Arrange it; I’ll go there myself later.”

“Now? It’s already evening.”

“Can’t I go in the evening? A famous actress taking time for charity work at night–that doesn’t touch you?” Bai Man said with a sneer.

“In that case, I’ll get ready right away and have the driver pick you up later.”

“No need. No one has to come; just wait for me at the welfare center.”

“Okay, then I’ll be waiting for you there.”

Bai Man waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t wait on me; in the meantime, have someone check if Shen Chi really has a meeting tonight, heard that it’s with some Germans.”

“Do you want to know what the meeting’s about?”

“Stupid!” Bai Man cursed. “Even if I tried, could I possibly get information like that?! What’s more, why would I care about the content of the meeting?! I simply want you to check if there is such a meeting happening.”

“Yes, understood. But you… still don’t quite trust Mr. Shen, do you?”
