Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183: Is He the Biological Child of Xu Chaomu?

Zhou Ran gave a bitter smile, of course unwilling to say it.

Any person who had hurt Xu Chaomu, Shen Chi would never let off, even if the child in Xu Chaomu’s belly wasn’t Achi’s.

Shen Cexian continued, “When you’re free, take Achi to some banquets, let him meet some outstanding girls. By doing so, maybe he won’t be so stubborn.”

“Do you think Achi lacks acquaintances amongst outstanding girls?” Zhou Ran responded with another bitter smile.

No matter how outstanding other girls were, he liked only Xu Chaomu.

Sometimes, his stubbornness was such that not even heaven and earth turned upside down could make him look back. There were many people in the world, but he only saw that one.

Shen Cexian sighed, not knowing what else to say.

“Eat something first. After you’ve eaten, I’ll have your assistant accompany you for a walk. I’ll go check on Zhilan,” Zhou Ran said.

“Mhm, some things need to be said, some don’t,” Shen Cexian cautioned.

“I know. I’ll be careful.”

“The Bai Family and the Shen Family have completely broken ties,” Shen Cexian sighed again.

“Cexian, I know, this is not the outcome you wanted to see. But for Shen Group, it’s also a good thing. It’s just that, in terms of emotions and reason, Achi has done something excessive.”

“Since we’ve reached this point, talking more is of no use. Go check on Zhilan. When my health improves, I’ll go meet Bai Xuan myself,” Shen Cexian said.

“Okay.”

Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian chatted for a while longer. It was now the afternoon, and the hospital ward was exceptionally quiet.

Autumn was approaching, the air filled with a faint scent of withered grass.

…

After Xu Chaomu left the Luo Family, she boarded the bus to the station, but halfway through the ride, Xiaobao woke up crying, very hungry.

Having no other choice, Xu Chaomu stopped at a nearby shop for a moment to feed Xiaobao something.

At first, Xiaobao was interested in playing with her, but before long, his big eyes filled with disappointment.

Xiaobao’s eyelids drooped, his little hands moving around restlessly.

He couldn’t see the handsome uncle, and he felt so anxious…

“Baby, what do you want? Are you still hungry?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“Wuu wuu…” Xiaobao cried.

Xu Chaomu tried to soothe him, hurriedly feeding him a couple of spoonfuls of rice porridge, but Xiaobao stubbornly refused to eat, shaking his head continuously.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” Xu Chaomu was puzzled by his thoughts.

People were all around them, and because Xiaobao was crying so sadly, they all looked at Xu Chaomu with strange gazes, wondering if Xiaobao was really her biological child.

Xu Chaomu felt embarrassed, but no matter how she tried to console Xiaobao, he just wouldn’t calm down.

“Mommy will take you for a walk. You’re not allowed to cry. Mommy will buy you new clothes,” Xu Chaomu coaxed.

Whenever she bought Xiaobao something, he was usually very happy.

Xu Chaomu carried him to a nearby toy store filled with many plush toys–rabbits, cats, frogs… all sorts of them, dazzling Xu Chaomu.

She walked among these toys with Xiaobao in her arms, and Xiaobao, seeing the colorful little dolls, finally stopped crying.

Xu Chaomu touched her forehead, finding it so tiring to appease a child.

In this world of plush toys, Xiaobao seemed quite happy, now and then reaching out to grab this or that.

“Bubble, bubble…” Xiaobao said happily.

“Xiaobao, can you say ‘mommy’? Say it for mommy to hear, would you?” Xu Chaomu coaxed.

“…” Xiaobao didn’t speak anymore, he couldn’t.

Chaomu sighed, she had taught him for so long, yet he still wouldn’t call her “Mommy”, as if he were defying her on purpose. She’s his closest mommy, after all!

But Xiaobao, the little rascal, was carefree and clueless about such matters.

However, from now on, she wouldn’t let Xiaobao have any contact with Shen Chi. It was okay when he was younger, but once he grew up and developed feelings, there would be no turning back.

Xiaobao kept stroking various toys with his hand, and when Chaomu pointed at one and asked him if he wanted it, he just stared at it with longing eyes.

“Xiaobao, between this frog and the cloth doll, can we only choose one?” Chaomu asked him.

Xiaobao remained silent, looking a bit unhappy.

The handsome uncle would buy him things without asking, buy him everything, but mommy was so stingy.

“Alright, look at this little frog, it’s very cute, all green and shiny. Let’s take this little frog,” said Chaomu. “We already have so many dolls at home, so should we just get one, okay?”

In truth, she had rushed out and hadn’t brought much money with her, and it was inconvenient shopping with Xiaobao in her arms.

Xiaobao already had so many toys, it was better not to buy him too many more.

Still, Xiaobao remained silent. When Chaomu put the little frog in his hands, he just kept staring at the cloth doll.

When Chaomu stuffed the cloth doll in his arms, he just kept staring at the little frog.

Xiaobao liked so many things, but mommy wouldn’t buy them for him.

Xiaobao was becoming a little unhappy and decided he didn’t want anything at all, resting in Chaomu’s arms and not cheerful at all.

“Oh, such a handful, spoiled by someone, now he doesn’t want a single toy,” complained Chaomu.

Every time Shen Chi came, he would buy a bunch of stuff, of course, Xiaobao wouldn’t care for the little things she offered.

“If you don’t want it, then forget it, let’s go home,” said Chaomu lightly.

It was getting late, by the time they reached Jin City it would already be evening. She had taken time off work to come here, knowing well that she and Shen Chi had no future together.

As a child, she couldn’t understand, only knew to pursue him like a moth to a flame, one-sidedly.

Only as she grew up did she realize that life wasn’t just about love, but so much more.

Thinking this, she prepared to walk out of the mall.

Just as she was walking forward with Xiaobao in her arms, suddenly, a car stopped on the open ground outside the mall.

A brand new black Bentley, clean and with sharp lines, very pleasing to the eye.

The car smoothly parked on the open ground, and from Chaomu’s angle, she couldn’t see the person inside.

Chaomu lowered her head and continued to carry Xiaobao, preparing to leave this place.

Xiaobao lay in Chaomu’s arms, listless and lacking energy.

“Xiaobao, how about mommy tells you a story? Once the story is over, we’ll be home,” Chaomu said softly.

The light shone on Chaomu’s face, her fair complexion flushed with a hint of rosiness. As she looked down, she seemed as serene as a lotus blooming quietly, filled with tenderness.

Chaomu kissed Xiaobao on the face, and after doing so, she was the first to smile.

Even though Xiaobao couldn’t even call her “Mommy”, she still loved him, without any reason.

The sunlight wasn’t too glaring, and gentle breezes blew in from beyond the open ground.

Chaomu teased Xiaobao as they walked past that black Bentley without realizing who was in the car.

Instead, Nie Chenglang took it all in, his gaze following her as she moved.

Just as she reached the sidewalk, he opened the car door and got out!

“Chaomu.”
