Chapter 1182 - Chapter 1182 Chapter 1182 No Good Ending

Chapter 1182: Chapter 1182: No Good Ending Chapter 1182: Chapter 1182: No Good Ending Once, when they disagreed, she would argue her case resolutely, never allowing him the upper hand; now, she didn’t even have the desire to argue.

“Baba, Baba…” Xiaobao, ignored on the sofa, called out.

He felt the room was too quiet; he didn’t like the quietness. When it was quiet, he felt anxious.

Xiaobao crawled about on the sofa, calling out “Baba” as he moved; those were the only words he could say.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiaobao caused a commotion, Xu Chaomu hurried over and lifted him off the sofa.

“Baby, are you hungry? Shall Mommy take you to eat something? We’re going home.” Xu Chaomu held him and coaxed softly.

Xu Chaomu, talking to Xiaobao like this, didn’t seem at all like the Xu Chaomu from moments ago.

Xiaobao lay in Xu Chaomu’s arms, clutching at her clothes, and became quiet, well-behaved.

As she approached Shen Chi, Xu Chaomu stopped, quietly saying, “You should take your medicine and take good care of yourself, I’m going back to Jin City.”

After speaking, she brushed past him, leaving the hospital room with the casual politeness of strangers.

As she left, she was very quiet, silently holding Xiaobao, not uttering a word.

She admitted, seeing Zhou Ran had made her somewhat impulsive, but she couldn’t control herself.

This time, Shen Chi didn’t chase after her, and she didn’t wish for him to. She hoped he would give up, there was no happy ending for them together.

She walked out of the hospital, holding Xiaobao quietly and boarded a taxi.

Dr. Wen Zhiyuan from the department saw the scene of Xu Chaomu leaving, and he sighed silently, ultimately unable to help them.

Xu Chaomu was too stubborn, her determined ideas unchangeable.

He didn’t know what had happened between them, and if it truly was beyond repair, all he could do was silently wish them well.

The afternoon sun was just right, the light streamed through the clouds onto the ground, making the half-yellow leaves shimmer with a silvery gloss. The wind blew gently, permeating a sense of tranquility with an infinite sense of desolation.

…

Zhou Ran returned to the hospital room and placed the homemade snacks she had prepared on the table.

Shen Cexian was sitting reading a magazine, wearing glasses that made him look much gentler. He didn’t look up, but softly said, “You’re back.”

“Mhm,” Zhou Ran responded.

Shen Cexian continued with his newspaper, he had been more spirited lately, although still frail, his overall complexion looked much better.

“I made your favorite snacks, give them a try.” Zhou Ran picked one and placed it on a dish. “I don’t make them often, so not sure how good they are, don’t be too critical.”

“There’s nothing you make that isn’t delicious,” Shen Cexian replied.

“You sure know how to flatter,” Zhou Ran smiled.

Shen Cexian speaking like this was rare; throughout most of their lives, they were always at odds, neither yielding to the other, nor did Shen Cexian ever express love towards her.

Now looking back, it was already twilight years for both.

Zhou Ran knew, Shen Cexian truly loved Xu Mengxi back in the day, which later led to Liu Rumei.

“You feeling better today? After we eat, I can take you for a walk.” Zhou Ran said, “Guess who I just saw at the hospital?”

“Achi? I heard he got injured driving,” Shen Cexian said.

He wasn’t worried about Shen Chi; Shen Chi could handle everything well.

“Achi did see him, but he also saw another person,” Zhou Ran said. “Achi is fine, you don’t need to worry.”

“Why would I worry about him? I consider him as if I never had this son,” Shen Cexian stated a bit agitated.

Zhou Ran gave a helpless smile. “That’s just what you say; you have been indulging him since he was young, you couldn’t truly bear to let go.”

Shen Cexian was rendered speechless by Zhou Ran’s words and fell silent.

“Achi is still the same Achi; he has always made you proud, only, he took some wrong turns,” Zhou Ran said softly, “I think, he will turn back.”

As she spoke, she fed Shen Cexian some pastries.

“Now, every time I see him, we are at odds; we can’t even manage the most basic communication. Achi has turned into what he is now, and I, as a father, bear some responsibility,” Shen Cexian said.

“Don’t blame yourself; Achi’s excellence is all your doing,” Zhou Ran said. “Today, I saw Xu Chaomu at the staircase of the hospital ward.”

Shen Cexian paused and turned to look at Zhou Ran: “Her?”

“Yes, still as willful as ever; Achi really spoiled her,” Zhou Ran remarked casually, “It seemed like they had an argument; she wanted to leave, but Achi wouldn’t let her.”

“Why would she come to the hospital?”

“I don’t know, and I’m not interested in knowing,” Zhou Ran said. “This time I saw her, she had adopted a child; the child was quite adorable, and Achi seemed to like him a lot.”

“Adopted a child?” Shen Cexian looked puzzled, then scoffed, “Isn’t she fond of casually having children with other men? Why didn’t she give birth this time?”

“Maybe it’s a deliberate ploy,” Zhou Ran said indifferently, her face expressionless.

Shen Cexian shook his head: “Yes, how could she give up on Achi so easily, could she really forsake the riches and status? It’s just a ploy, and Achi, smart as he is, just doesn’t see it.”

“Outsiders see more clearly than those involved,” Zhou Ran’s face still wore a light expression.

Shen Cexian frowned deeply: “We can’t control Achi, let him be.”

“Mm,” Zhou Ran responded.

“By the way, how is the Bai Family doing?” Shen Cexian asked.

During this time, he had stayed in the hospital, not caring about anything and hadn’t inquired much about Bai Family’s affairs. But now, he started thinking about Bai Xuan.

“Not well, Zhilan hurt Xu Chaomu years ago and Achi had her sent to jail, it’s a ten-year sentence at least. As for Bai Xuan, Achi gave him a bit of face, just imprisonment. Now, Achi is gradually buying up all the companies and properties owned by the Bai Family.”

“Achi would do anything for that woman,” Shen Cexian said coldly.

“Let’s not talk about her, have some food,” Zhou Ran said, “The weather is nice today; let’s go downstairs for a walk later, if you want to see Achi, I can take you.”

“I’d rather not,” Shen Cexian said coldly, his face gloomy.

“Perhaps it’s for the best,” Zhou Ran knew he was upset, especially since Shen Chi had forced him to hand over the authorization of the company, an action Shen Cexian was unlikely to forgive.

“You should go see Zhilan; she can’t handle that hardship. No matter what, the Bai Family has been kind to the Shen Family,” Shen Cexian shook his head.

Zhou Ran nodded, “Maybe I’ll go see Zhilan later. Achi was quite ruthless this time. I heard he’s been looking for Manman, but Bai Xuan and Zhilan absolutely refuse to tell.”

“Manman caused the death of Xu Chaomu’s child; do you think Bai Xuan would possibly tell?” Shen Cexian said lightly.
