Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Take Mother’s Surname from Now On Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Take Mother’s Surname from Now On “Mr. Shen, received, we didn’t dare to slack off.”

“That’s best!”

Shen Chi hung up the phone and, for some reason, as he gazed at the heavy starry sky outside the window, he felt a bit restless and uneasy.

He didn’t even have the courage to make a call to her, did he really have the courage to see her?

Shen Chi didn’t know when he had started to lose even that little bit of self-confidence.

The night outside the window was desolate, with a few leaves falling from the treetops, circling in the evening breeze, spiraling down bit by bit, and then silently landing on the ground bathed in moonlight.

The steps under the night sky were as cool as water.

Shen Chi spent a sleepless night in C City, and similarly, Xu Chaomu in Jin City had not been able to fall asleep either.

For some reason, she felt a sense of panic in her heart.

Especially in the silence of the night, with only her and Xiaobao, she mysteriously lacked a sense of security.

Especially after Xiao Mo told her that he was going to South Africa, her mind became even more restless.

Before, when she was alone, she had never felt this intense, but now, she had to protect Xiaobao, she was his mother.

Xiaobao also hadn’t fallen asleep; he was playing with the stuffed whale Xu Chaomu had bought for him, amusing himself to no end.

Xu Chaomu sat by his side, keeping watch over him. She couldn’t sleep either, so from time to time, she would playfully make Xiaobao happy.

“Xiaobao, give me a smile.” She said with a laugh as she touched Xiaobao’s cheek.

His little cheeks were so tender and smooth, they felt especially nice to touch.

Xiaobao ignored her and even moved her hand away, trying to push her away.

Xiaobao, don’t be naughty. Look at who I am, your mother! Shall I teach you how to speak…” Xu Chaomu bent down and got close to Xiaobao.

As soon as she got close, she smelled the rich scent of milk, which was especially delightful.

She couldn’t resist and kissed him.

“Bobo…” Xiaobao murmured.

“It’s not Bobo, it’s Mama, or Mummy…” Xu Chaomu teased him.

“Bobo…” Xiaobao paid her no mind.

“Naughty boy.” Xu Chaomu chuckled as she rubbed his cheek.

The little guy was really too beautiful; she never got tired of looking at him.

These past few days, she had been watching him almost constantly, and she realized that this was truly the most beautiful baby she had ever seen.

“Baby, shall we give you a name? From now on, your last name will be ‘Xu’ like mommy’s, okay?” Xu Chaomu said to him.

The little guy kept staring at the blue whale in his hand, his big eyes blinking brightly, full of life.

“Let mommy think carefully, I will give you a good-sounding name…” Xu Chaomu was still smiling.

Since the little guy came to her side, she had really been much happier, a long-missed sense of happiness.

Although sometimes she would remember the child she had lost, what was lost could not be reclaimed, and now that she had Xiaobao, she felt that this was the best gift heaven had given her.

When mentioning a name, her heart stirred, and she remembered a man.

In the cave, he had said if the child in his belly was a boy, he would be named Shen Yun…

Remembering this, she couldn’t help but recall the times in the cave, his resoluteness.

His love for her and her love for him were indistinguishable, equally deep.

He had said that five years ago, if something bad had happened to her after taking that bullet for him, he would have followed her.

Similarly, if something had happened to him on that mountaintop, she would have taken the baby and left with him…

They could overcome life and death, but not reality.

Since life persisted, they inevitably had to continue living on, albeit gasping for breath.

Xu Chaomu caressed Xiaobao’s cheeks and stopped thinking about that certain someone.

Not long after, Xiaobao fell asleep. Xu Chaomu lay next to the baby’s crib, her heart intermittently seizing up for reasons she couldn’t explain.

Rain had just fallen in Jin City, making the weather cool. When she opened the window, it wasn’t as stuffy.

But her heart felt as though it was smothered, very stifled and heavy.

The evening breeze stirred the gauze canopy, the floral curtains dancing gracefully. The wind brought with it the faint scent of soil and the unique aroma of a summer’s night. The fragrance of flowers, grass, and the scent of water in the pond.

Xu Chaomu watched the slumbering Xiaobao, she got up to partially close the window, fearing he might catch a chill.

After closing the window, she tiptoed to the balcony and sat alone, gazing at the night sky outside.

The night was tranquil, with stars and moon buried deep.

Resting her cheek in her palm, she sat on the blanket on the floor, quietly observing everything beyond the balcony.

Nights like these easily stirred up feelings of yearning and separation; she wasn’t usually sentimental, but the night sky provoked a whirl of thoughts.

Because she felt a heaviness in her heart, sleep eluded her, so she just sat there silently, not even sure what she was contemplating.

That night, Xu Chaomu couldn’t recall when she had fallen asleep, but when she awoke, she was still on the balcony.

Her legs were numb from sitting cross-legged for too long; she stood up and went to the living room.

Glancing at the time, it was already two in the morning.

When she returned to the bedroom, Xiaobao was still deeply asleep, slumbering sweetly.

This child was quite easy to care for, not too fussy, although occasionally he did have a bit of a temper.

She had experienced his temper; she hadn’t believed Xiao Mo when he said Xiaobao was temperamental, wondering how much temper a child could have.

But after spending a few days together, she realized that temperament really was innate!

Some people were born quiet and gentle, umm… like herself.

Some were born irritable and quick-tempered, lashing out at the slightest disagreement, umm… like someone.

When Xiaobao was happy, he could be adorable, making you want to kiss him uncontrollably, but when he was unhappy, he wouldn’t give you the time of day, impervious to all attempts at cheering him up.

Thinking about this, Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but laugh.

Xiaobao was a little fellow with a lot of personality!

She fell asleep on the big bed beside the baby crib, initially watching the little guy in the crib intently, but gradually, her eyelids began to droop and she kept nodding off, soon entering dreamland.

It was the next afternoon when she received a call from Xiao Mo; she was cooking in the kitchen.

“Hello, Xiao Mo.”

“Chaomu, have you been well these past few days?”

“Everything’s fine, Xiaobao is very good. I asked him if he misses Uncle Xiao Mo, and the way he looked… he misses you a lot.”

“I miss him too,” Xiao Mo’s voice sounded a bit low, weary, “I’m already at the airport.”

“The airport? Are you leaving for South Africa already?” Xu Chaomu was somewhat surprised.

So suddenly, could it be an arrangement made deliberately by Shen Chi…

At that moment, she remembered the phone call Shen Chi had made to him; a chill went down her spine. No wonder she felt uneasy lately; could that man have learned something!

And recalling the dream she had before, no, even if he came, she wouldn’t see him.

“Yeah, it’s a company arrangement; I had no choice but to go. It was a rushed departure, and I didn’t get to say goodbye to you. Who knows when we’ll see each other again.”
