Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Shall We Go Home and Feed the Goldfish? Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Shall We Go Home and Feed the Goldfish? Before, Shen Chi had even said he was ugly.

In fact, he just said it casually; in front of Xu Chaomu, he was used to it.

Now, under the night lights, he realized the little guy really was good-looking; fair and clean, with big eyes, thick and long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, indeed bearing quite a resemblance to him.

He took Xiaobao to buy several sets of clothes, several pairs of shoes, and many toys and snacks.

Buying for Xiaobao was genuine, but so was trying to please Xu Chaomu.

Outside the shop, Xu Chaomu had been standing all along, feeling very sad. Xiaobao had previously disdained Shen Chi, but once Shen Chi bought him things, he kept laughing nonstop and was extremely close to Shen Chi.

When Shen Chi kissed him, he didn’t dodge; when Shen Chi teased him, he giggled foolishly.

So… had her son been bought off?

When they came out of a toy store, Shen Chi, holding Xiaobao, was facing Xu Chaomu.

The smile on Shen Chi’s face paused, and he silently watched her while holding Xiaobao.

Under the dim streetlights, the two faced each other, with no barriers in between and not much distance apart.

It was a reunion that seemed so long overdue, Shen Chi felt as if it had been a century.

That evening, Xu Chaomu was wearing a loose black and white striped dress, her long hair draping over her shoulders. Because she had cried, her eyes were red, adding a hazy, blurred look when she saw Shen Chi.

Her complexion wasn’t great, showing fatigue, haggardness, and paleness; even her hair was slightly disheveled.

Her outfit was indeed very casual tonight, at least compared to Shen Chi’s business attire, it wasn’t as eye-catching.

In that moment, their eyes met, and Xu Chaomu didn’t look away but stared at him intently.

She felt she had been too childish just now; did she need to run away from him?

She hadn’t done anything wrong to him, why should she run? She had never been afraid of him since she was young.

If there came a time when she was afraid of him, it would mean… they were no longer that close.

Shen Chi held Xiaobao in his arms, his gaze fixing on Xu Chaomu’s face.

She had the ability to leave him, so why couldn’t she get her life together? Such a grown person, even adopting a child, yet still crying.

He pursed his lips tightly, frowning.

However, even though he thought this way, he still felt heartache when she cried.

Just like now, it felt like there was a needle poking at his heart, jabbing him bit by bit.

He knew she would come back because Xiaobao was with him.

But still, the means were a bit despicable; this wasn’t what he wanted.

The two just stood there, neither taking a step.

Only Xiaobao kept moving about in Shen Chi’s arms, grabbing at his clothes then scratching his hand.

He wanted to leave, to go home, but this uncle wouldn’t move, and he was getting impatient.

Once impatient, he started to cry.

When Xiaobao cried, Xu Chaomu’s heart wrenched.

She called out, “Xiaobao,” and hurried over.

She took Xiaobao from Shen Chi’s arms in one swift motion, and this time, Shen Chi didn’t stop her.

Holding the soft little guy in her arms once again, she finally felt at ease.

“Bao Bao, don’t cry, don’t cry, Mommy’s here,” Xu Chaomu soothed him, looking down.

Shen Chi’s gaze never left her face, silently watching.

Holding the little one, she really looked like a mother, mature and intellectual, like a ripe red cherry on a branch, no longer the little girl from before.

But in his eyes, she would always be that little girl, his most beloved little princess.

His gaze stayed on her face, tender and indulgent.

When Xu Chaomu soothed Xiaobao, she kept her head lowered, looking really beautiful, exuding a different aura than before.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, is baby hungry? Shall mommy take you home for some milk? And what about the little goldfish we bought this afternoon? Let’s go home and feed the goldfish, okay?”

Xu Chaomu’s voice was very gentle, Shen Chi had never imagined that Xu Chaomu could have such a tender side.

No matter what she looked like, he liked her very much.

Xiaobao still cried, inconsolable no matter what.

“Alright then, let’s go home,” Xu Chaomu said, holding him.

She subconsciously held Xiaobao very tight, afraid the man before her would take Xiaobao away if he was displeased.

In his presence, she felt as insignificant as an ant; whatever she said didn’t matter, he wouldn’t listen to her.

Holding Xiaobao, Xu Chaomu didn’t even glance at Shen Chi; she just turned and walked away.

Xiaobao, on the other hand, kept crying while turning his head to look at Shen Chi, with a hint of reluctance in his big eyes.

Xu Chaomu knew that whoever treated him well, he’d be loath to part with.

“Wait,” Shen Chi called out to her, quickly striding after her.

“Take what I bought for him home,” Shen Chi said, offering the shopping bag to her.

“No need,” Xu Chaomu refused.

“It’s just a little something from me, I’m quite fond of him too,” Shen Chi said frankly.

His gaze fell on her face, but she kept avoiding his piercing eyes, looking down instead at Xiaobao in her arms.

“The best favor you could do for us is to not bother us anymore,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently and walked away.

Xiaobao’s crying quieted down quite a bit, but still, his big eyes kept watching Shen Chi.

The pair of silver bracelets on his hands was particularly conspicuous, gleaming under the night lights.

Shen Chi knew from the photo that they were a gift from Xiao Mo.

He was her legally married husband, did he rank below an outsider?

“Xu Chaomu!” Shen Chi called out to her again.

She stopped in her tracks, involuntarily tightening her embrace on Xiaobao.

He still stuffed the items he bought for Xiaobao into her hands. “Take these!”

“I said I don’t want them!”

“Don’t fucking be so stubborn with me!” Shen Chi exploded, “If you’re really capable, don’t make Xiaobao suffer!”

Xu Chaomu’s hand trembled, but she stubbornly bit her lip, her tear-filled eyes looking up: “President Shen, I’ll ensure Xiaobao has a good life, you don’t have to worry. Everyone’s life improves over time, there’s nothing instant. I may not have much money right now, but I will work hard.”

“President Shen, I know you’re rich, and you don’t have to look down on me. I don’t want to have any relationship with you, nor do I want others to view me with contempt. Jin City is no match for C City; I know too many people here. I have to keep living here, please have some self-respect.”

“Don’t want any relationship? Do you want me to show you the marriage certificate?!”

She pushed away his hand, returning all the items to him, and said detachedly, “Someday, I’ll give you the signed divorce agreement.”

“You’re that eager to disassociate yourself from me?” Shen Chi was very angry.

Since he was a child, he knew this woman was incredibly stubborn!

As a child, he could suppress her, but now that she was grown up and could fend for herself, he couldn’t keep her down anymore!
