Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: Let Xiaobao Go for a Check-up Chapter 1160: Chapter 1160: Let Xiaobao Go for a Check-up “Mr. Shen, would you like to make a call to Vice President Xiao?” the assistant asked cautiously.

“No need, just assign him more tasks,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“Uh… okay.” The assistant nodded.

Had Xiao Mo offended Shen Chi somewhere? Not only was he subtly demoted, but he was also sent to a place like Africa, and now, more tasks were being piled on?

However, Xiao Mo had always been fiercely loyal to Shen Chi, and their relationship had always been good. What could have caused such a disagreement between them?

Shen Chi stood up, his gaze firm as he looked forward, and strode out of the CEO’s office.

As soon as Shen Chi left, the assistant marked all the files from the police station with a red marker pen and then sent them to Bai Xuan.

As for Qi Na, he followed Shen Chi’s instructions to have the police issue her a warning. Finally, he called Xiao Mo and sent him several work agendas.

Xiao Mo frowned, “Aren’t these projects scheduled for next year?”

“It was assigned by Mr. Shen,” the assistant said. “I didn’t ask any further.”

Xiao Mo understood upon hearing this – Shen Chi was still holding a grudge against him.

During this time, he hadn’t called Xu Chaomu, but Chaomu had called him, and he knew that Shen Chi had visited her.

But her mind was made up; she did not want to be with Shen Chi.

Recently, Xiao Mo had been considering Xiaobao’s paternity issue. Now that he was not in the country, he couldn’t take the opportunity to take Xiaobao and Xu Chaomu for a DNA test himself. He was worried about entrusting this task to someone else.

One day, when the sunlight in South Africa was just right, Xiao Mo made a call to Xu Chaomu.

“Chaomu, long time no see.”

“Xiao Mo…” Xu Chaomu was quite surprised, as Xiao Mo had been in South Africa for so long without calling her, “It’s been a while, are you coming back soon?”

“Not for now, how are you and Xiaobao?”

“We’re both doing well, I’ll let Xiaobao say hello to you.”

With that, Xu Chaomu picked up Xiaobao and let him talk to his uncle.

Xiaobao mumbled a few unclear words into the phone, the voice of this uncle sounded so familiar, it seemed like Uncle Xiao Mo…

Xiao Mo smiled when he heard Xiaobao’s voice.

“I really want to see him,” Xiao Mo said.

“If you miss him, why don’t you come back for a visit? Take a break from work. You know that man did it on purpose,” Xu Chaomu was upset.

“I will come back, take good care of yourself and Xiaobao,” Xiao Mo advised.

“You too, take care of yourself. Are you accustomed to that place?”

“I’ve gotten used to it long ago, it’s not my first time in South Africa, don’t worry,” Xiao Mo said.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mo paused, brewing some thoughts.

Xu Chaomu advised him a few more times before he casually mentioned, “Oh, by the way, I had a friend in Jin City arrange a baby checkup package for Xiaobao. You should accompany him when the time comes.”

“Ah, that’s really thoughtful of you, thinking of Xiaobao even from South Africa. Xiaobao is lucky to have an uncle like you.”

“It’s no trouble. It’s a new package from their hospital and quite cost-effective; I figured Xiaobao should get a check-up.”

“Thank you so much,” Xu Chaomu was truly grateful, feeling more thoughtful than even herself as a mother.

“I worry you might be overworking yourself, so I also booked a health checkup package for you. It’s always good to take care of yourself,” Xiao Mo said.

“I don’t even know what to say except… thanks so much.”

“I’ll want to see the medical reports; I need to see if you’re really taking good care of yourself.”

“I… don’t just worry about me and Xiaobao, you need to also look after yourself.”

“I know,” Xiao Mo smiled and said no more.

Many things, he would never tell anyone, maybe he was used to keeping silent, maybe he was used to hiding deep, but he knew that the more precious the thing, the more he needed to hold it close in his palms.

Like the bright moon pearl, carefully hidden away.

The cicadas in the summer were particularly noisy as Xu Chaomu stood on the balcony chatting with Xiao Mo, the sounds of cicadas filling his ears.

One sound after another, making this summer feel even more intense.

The lush green trees all around met his eyes, and looking further, distant mountains carried hints of greenish-blue, shrouded in mist.

The two chatted for quite a while, until Xiaobao got hungry and started clawing at the sofa, then Xu Chaomu put down his phone.

Immediately, Xu Chaomu went to take care of Xiaobao, and Xiao Mo made a call to his subordinate.

“Send two medical examination packages to Xu Chaomu, and once you get the report, give it to me firsthand.”

“Okay, Vice President Xiao.”

“Do you remember what I had told you before?”

“Remember, to check their maternal and child blood relation.”

“Uh-huh,” Xiao Mo nodded. “Right, how is the Bai Family doing back in the country?”

“Controlled by President Shen, Bai Xuan is under surveillance, Jiang Zhilan has been taken to the public security bureau, but Bai Man was sent away by Bai Xuan beforehand, we don’t know where.”

“Sent away?” Xiao Mo frowned.

Bai Xuan still plays this trick, once sent abroad, finding her would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“Yes, President Shen also doesn’t know where she was sent to; he’s trying his best to find her.”

“Uh-huh, we’ll find her eventually,” Xiao Mo said indifferently.

Now the Bai Family was akin to a dying grasshopper, no longer able to jump around.

Bai Man couldn’t restrain herself; he thought Shen Chi would eventually find a way to bring her out.

His subordinate then reported domestic affairs to Xiao Mo, who listened to each of them.

Even though Xiao Mo was very concerned about everything domestically, he did not call Shen Chi. That man was very petty.

In the past, if they had disagreements, he would just threaten half-jokingly, “Careful, or I’ll send you to Africa,” or “You can forget about your bonus next month,” but he never actually sent him to Africa or withheld his bonus.

But this time, the man was truly petty.

It seemed right; Xu Chaomu was his bottom line; no male creature, except Xiaobao, should even think of getting close.

Xu Chaomu was busy coddling Xiaobao, feeding him rice soup and minced meat.

The little guy was obedient and not picky at all, everything was pretty good.

The next day, Xiao Mo’s friend delivered the hospital examination coupons to Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu was so grateful to Xiao Mo; he was truly kind to Xiaobao.

Those days, Shen Chi didn’t come, which gave her quite some peaceful time.

However, on Sunday, her boss didn’t let her enjoy her peace and called her, asking very concerned, “Xiaoxu, did you go out to have fun over the weekend?”

“No, I was at home taking care of Xiaobao, took him out for a walk in the afternoon.”

“You’re such a good mother,” her boss praised.

Everyone knew that Xu Chaomu had adopted a child, but they all found it surprising since Xu Chaomu was still quite young.

“You flatter me, boss… Is there something at the company that needs my attention?” Xu Chaomu asked tentatively.

“No, no, no, today’s Sunday, nothing pressing.”
