Chapter 870 -870: No Plans for a Honeymoon Yet
A few days later, Xu Chaomu tidied up and went back to work at the group.
However, there was no longer a need to ask Mr. Cheng to stop the car far away from the group.
Moreover, now she could openly hold Shen Chi’s arm as they entered the group.
Today, she wore a peach-pink sweater and when she stood beside Shen Chi, she shamelessly asked him, “Husband, do you think I look like an eighteen-year-old girl today?”
“Can an eighteen-year-old get pregnant?” Shen Chi teased on purpose.
“So you mean I don’t look like it? You think I’m old…” Xu Chaomu pouted her lips, “You despise me, then you go find an eighteen-year-old girl, all fair and tender…”

“What I mean is, you’re only seventeen this year, don’t make yourself seem old,” Shen Chi said with his hand on his forehead, against his conscience.
But Xu Chaomu really did look beautiful today, brimming with youth, especially when she smiled, just like an eighteen-year-old girl.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chaomu immediately became happy and cheerfully continued to walk forward, arm in arm with Shen Chi.
Inside the group, it was everyone’s first time seeing President Shen with a woman by his side, and they all widened their eyes in astonishment.
Xu Chaomu let go of his arm and said to a secretary behind her, “Hand me the tote bag.”
The secretary said with a smile, “Mrs. Shen, let me take it to the design department for you.”
“No need, I can do it,” Xu Chaomu stretched out her hand.
The secretary had no choice but to hand the beautiful cherry blossom pink tote bag to Xu Chaomu.
“Do you want me to have someone follow you?” Shen Chi asked.
“No, no need, I’m going to the design department, you’re going to the CEO’s office, we’ll part ways,” Xu Chaomu said cheerfully.
Shen Chi smiled helplessly, letting her make a fuss.
When the dedicated elevator reached the design department’s floor and opened, Xu Chaomu carried the tote bag towards the design department.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance, everyone’s eyes widened in surprise!
“Cha… Mrs. Shen,” a few girls greeted.
Xu Chaomu, not used to it, smiled and said, “Just call me Chaomu.”
All eyes fell on Xu Chaomu, and for a moment, the atmosphere was extremely awkward, as no one knew what to say.
These past few days, the office had been abuzz, with many regretting not having been nicer to Xu Chaomu, many regretting not having gotten closer to her.
Of course, most of the discussion was still about the gossip between Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu, and sometimes Bai Man was brought up too.
“Mrs. Shen, you’re here to work?” a female colleague asked.
“Yep, I missed you guys.”
“We missed you, too,” everyone said.
Xu Chaomu opened the tote bag, which didn’t contain anything other than some candies, which she had expressly asked Shen Chi to prepare.
Shen Chi had proposed to her, so she decided to distribute candies to her colleagues.
“Here, I’ve prepared some candy for everyone, I’ll distribute it to you,” Xu Chaomu said.
Everyone’s eyes sparkled with delight, Xu Chaomu’s candies must be delicious! Could they be like the last chocolate that cost eighteen hundred a piece? If so, they were indeed very lucky!
“They’re all hand-made candies from Italy, various flavors, I’ll just distribute them randomly,” Xu Chaomu said, and handed out a box to each person.
The candy boxes were very exquisite, colorful; some were pink candy boxes, some were lavender, and there were also yellow, blue, green…
Suddenly, all the colleagues in the office came over.
“So beautiful! These candy boxes look great!”
“Yes, they must be delicious. Chaomu, thank you so much.”
Xu Chaomu smiled, “When there’s good news, I like to share it with everyone.”
She distributed candies to everyone, making sure each person got a share.
However, she didn’t see Sister Chen and couldn’t help asking curiously, “Where’s Sister Chen? Didn’t she come to work today?”
Everyone pointed to her desk and shrugged their shoulders.
Xu Chaomu took one look and saw that the desk was already empty, clean and tidy.
“Sister Chen resigned,” said one of the young girls.
“I think she probably felt too embarrassed to stay in the design department,” somebody else chimed in.
“Yeah, she used to say such nasty things. Chaomu kindly gave her chocolate, and she even claimed Chaomu’s chocolate was fake. Hmph…” The others indignantly defended Xu Chaomu.
“Let it go,” Xu Chaomu laughed. “Since she’s resigned, she’s resigned. Let’s just share the extra candy amongst ourselves.”
“Great!” They were all delighted.
Xu Chaomu wasn’t really bothered; Sister Chen’s words may have been unpleasant, but she hadn’t taken them to heart.
Everyone started to open the candy they received, in exquisitely designed boxes that contained many flavors of handmade sweets, appealing not only in looks but also in taste.
“Chaomu, Chaomu, who would have thought, you are actually Mrs. Shen!”
“Yeah, and no one expected Mr. Shen to propose to you!”
“You’re so lucky, Chaomu. Why didn’t you ever tell us before?”
With so many questions at once, Xu Chaomu didn’t even know how to respond.
All she could do was smile and say, “I was always low-key about it, and I hadn’t anticipated his proposal this time either.”
“Mr. Shen is so cool, I got so excited just watching the video at home.”
“You are so fortunate, Chaomu, and now you’re pregnant as well, that’s even more happiness.”
“Exactly, Chaomu, I’m really happy for you.”
Her colleagues were even happier than Xu Chaomu herself, and they were absolutely thrilled.
Xu Chaomu ate a piece of candy too, sweet and strawberry-flavored. She didn’t say much, just listened as they casually chatted.
“Chaomu, that’s not very nice of you, claiming your husband was just a ‘little secretary’ and saying he was poor.”
“Right, right, also saying he rented his place and couldn’t afford baby formula.”
“Chaomu, you really had us fooled…”
“Uh…” Xu Chaomu touched her forehead, sheepishly saying, “I never intended to go public with it, so I made something up. I’m really sorry, truly sorry.”
“Now I finally get it, there was a period when both Mr. Shen and Chaomu were gone at the same time.”
“Chaomu, did you two go on a honeymoon?”
Xu Chaomu shook her head repeatedly, “No, no, we don’t have any plans for a honeymoon yet.”
“Chaomu, that ring is gorgeous. I didn’t feel much when I saw it online the other day, but now that I’ve seen the real thing, it’s just so dazzling!”
The crowd buzzed with excitement, unable to stop talking, each person wearing a look of elation and exhilaration on their face!
To think Xu Chaomu was Mrs. Shen!
Their design department was sure to be blessed from now on!
The more they thought about it, the more excited they got. They had been discussing these questions for several days now, yet they were still eager to talk about it!
Especially since Xu Chaomu had suddenly come by today, it was the perfect opportunity to grill her for answers.
Xu Chaomu was quite overwhelmed by their enthusiasm, feeling a bit dazed, but she always maintained a smile.
“I actually have some work that I need to wrap up and hand over. Once that’s done, I’ll probably go home and rest,” Xu Chaomu steered the conversation back.
This is work time, girls!
As the boss’s wife of the corporation, she couldn’t just stand by and watch.
