Hmm? Wen Zhiyuan was puzzled and walked toward the bedside.

He glanced at Xu Chaomu, who was holding Xiaobao. Xu Chaomu stood nearby, stroking Xiaobao’s head, softly coaxing him to cheer up.

It was the first time Wen Zhiyuan had seen this child. He was very cute, with big eyes and thick, long eyelashes. When he pursed his lips, he resembled Shen Chi a bit–with a proud and aloof expression.

The little guy was currently nestled in Xu Chaomu’s arms, clinging to her clothes, very attached to his mom.

Xu Chaomu had been soothing Xiaobao for quite a while before his crying finally subsided a bit, but as soon as he saw Wen Zhiyuan in his white coat, he cried out again with a “wah!”

Xiaobao buried his head in Xu Chaomu’s embrace–he was most afraid of doctors.

Just seeing someone in a white coat reminded him of the bad uncle who had drawn his blood, which was really painful…

Xu Chaomu quickly consoled Xiaobao again, “Be good, Xiaobao, don’t cry. This is Uncle Wen, don’t be afraid, he’s not a bad doctor.”

Wen Zhiyuan’s face was filled with exasperation–he had been mistaken for a bad doctor.

While Shen Chi, ever so blandly, retorted, “How is he not a bad doctor?”

Wen Zhiyuan’s mouth twitched, beading with sweat.

Xu Chaomu saw Wen Zhiyuan’s expression and wanted to laugh, but she held it back.

Because of his big sister, Shen Chi always enjoyed making snide remarks at Wen Zhiyuan, which she was well aware of.

Shen Chi had told her that he had always hoped Wen Zhiyuan and Shen Di would end up together, but Wen Zhiyuan, acting as if nothing was the matter, had secluded himself in the country, indifferent and uninvolved.

Shen Chi also said that this man clearly harbored feelings for Shen Di deep inside, but pretended to be nonchalant.

“It seems I’ve come at an inconvenient time,” Wen Zhiyuan said with a gentle smile, hands in the pockets of his white coat.

Looking around, he felt like he was intruding on a family of three.

“Doctor Wen,” Xu Chaomu approached him while holding Xiaobao, and asked seriously, “Why did you lie to me?”

“Hmm? Oh…” Wen Zhiyuan first responded with confusion, then realization dawned on him.

He had performed a surgery and had forgotten about this matter–he was the one who had called Xu Chaomu over.

Shen Chi was somewhat puzzled, wondering what Wen Zhiyuan had said to Xu Chaomu…

“Doctor Wen, it seems you really wish someone were gravely ill,” Xu Chaomu deliberately remarked.

“…” Wen Zhiyuan sweated–Xu Chaomu had picked up some of Shen Chi’s habits by now. But couldn’t she see his intention? It was simply to get her to meet Shen Chi.

“Hmm…” Wen Zhiyuan said thoughtfully, “His emotional ailment is indeed severe, beyond the help of anyone but you.”

Shen Chi frowned, raising his eyes toward Wen Zhiyuan; he understood, and he guessed what Wen Zhiyuan had said to Xu Chaomu.

“Are you sure I am the cure and not the poison?” Xu Chaomu asked lightly.

This question left Wen Zhiyuan speechless–whether Xu Chaomu was the cure or the poison, only Shen Chi could tell.

Shen Chi gave a wry laugh. To him, Xu Chaomu seemed more like a poison indeed. But this poison had long seeped into his heart, and even though it was toxic, he savored it.

“Ba, ba…” Xiaobao suddenly rubbed his eyes, stopped crying, and reached out to Shen Chi.

Wen Zhiyuan was taken aback, a surprised look on his face: “Can the little fella talk now?”

Speaking of which, Shen Chi looked proud, boasting, “He only says ‘Dada.'”

“…” Xu Chaomu was speechless.

Wen Zhiyuan laughed, “Calling you?”

“What else?” Shen Chi looked at Wen Zhiyuan disdainfully.

“Ba, ba…” the little one mumbled again unclearly.

Shen Chi reached out his hand, “Come here, let Daddy hold you.”

Wen Zhiyuan looked at Shen Chi. He had never seen this side of Shen Chi before; it seemed all of his gentleness was reserved for Xu Chaomu alone, and now, for Xu Chaomu’s son as well.

He was destined to be entangled with Xu Chaomu for a lifetime.

However, this little tag-along was quite cute and even tried to please Shen Chi.

As soon as Shen Chi spoke, Xiaobao rubbed his eyes, stopped crying, and stretched his hands toward Shen Chi.

Xu Chaomu didn’t know why he liked Shen Chi so much. Was it just because he bought him a few clothes and a bunch of snacks? Was that really necessary? Didn’t she buy good things too?

Just thinking about it made her angry. She had never taught Xiaobao to call anyone “Daddy,” yet the moment Shen Chi spoke, he actually called him Daddy!

Surely Shen Chi had taught him secretly; it infuriated her.

Xu Chaomu grabbed his hand, preventing him from going to Shen Chi.

Xiaobao got angry and scratched Xu Chaomu with his fingers.

“Hey, Xiaobao!” Xu Chaomu hadn’t trimmed Xiaobao’s nails, and as a result, her hand was harshly scratched, and it hurt a lot.

“Xiaobao!” Shen Chi frowned, displeased, “How can you scratch Mommy? If you dare scratch again, Daddy will have to spank you.”

Shen Chi’s face darkened when he expressed sternness.

Xiaobao, probably having never seen Shen Chi like this, was a bit scared and pursed his lips, hiding in Xu Chaomu’s arms.

Xu Chaomu also felt like hitting him; he was really like a reed swaying in the wind.

Wen Zhiyuan chuckled and came forward, “This little tag-along is quite adorable.”

“You’re the tag-along,” Shen Chi responded irritably.

“…” Wen Zhiyuan’s face fell.

The back of Xu Chaomu’s hand bore two distinct red marks from Xiaobao’s scratch, but she wasn’t about to seriously blame a child.

She patted his head lightly and said indifferently, “Mommy will take you home.”

With that, she picked up her things and prepared to leave.

“Stay,” Shen Chi’s voice rang out behind her.

Xu Chaomu paused her footsteps but showed no intention of staying, merely responding casually, “No.”

Shen Chi’s frown deepened; he knew that even if he insisted on her staying, if she was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

He couldn’t use any forceful methods to keep her with him anymore, for doing so would only make her dislike him more.

He remained silent, saying nothing further.

Wen Zhiyuan rarely saw such a helpless Shen Chi, his face completely expressing helplessness, utterly clueless on how to handle Xu Chaomu.

This man was always decisive and forceful, ruthless to everyone in the business world. Yet Xu Chaomu effortlessly broke this curse, exposing Shen Chi’s helpless side.

Wen Zhiyuan’s lips slightly curled upward. He walked up to Xu Chaomu and smiled, “If you leave, someone won’t undergo check-ups or take his medicine again. When you’re not here, he won’t even let the doctor in the door.”

“He brought it upon himself,” Xu Chaomu responded curtly.

She had also heard from the nurses that this man threw temper tantrums, breaking everything he could, especially last night!

“If you don’t care about him, he’ll continue to bring it upon himself,” Wen Zhiyuan said lightly.

Although Shen Chi remained silent while they spoke ill of him in his presence, he opted for silence.

It was Xiaobao who lifted his head from Xu Chaomu’s embrace and sneaked a glance at Shen Chi.

Uncle seemed not to be angry anymore. Every time he said “Ba, Ba,” Uncle would be very happy.

Hmm… if handsome Uncle got angry again in the future, he would just shout “Ba Ba”…
