Chapter 927: Chapter 927 What Do We Need You For When We Have Him
Perhaps it was the novel sensation of becoming a mother for the first time that made Xu Chaomu feel differently than usual, even the saddest things seemed insignificant to her now.
What could possibly bring more joy than her precious baby?
When Shen Chi heard this, he knew she was alluding to the incident from a few days ago.
He moved the corners of his lips slightly and said to her, “Give me some time, I will take care of the matter from thirteen years ago.”
Xu Chaomu stroked his cool face, as cold as if he had just returned from outside.
She didn’t say much, for she could only back down so much on that issue, regardless of how Shen Chi might handle it in the future, but it couldn’t cross her bottom line or what she could bear.
His eyes were deep-set, his enigmatic gaze fixed on her face.
Their eyes met, and his expression was as tender as lake water, while she, with pursed lips, simply watched him quietly.
“Mumu…” he called her name softly, leaning down to press a kiss on her soft, glossy lips.
Her lips were soft and shiny, intoxicating him like red wine.
But he only tasted them fleetingly before letting her go.
“Have you been smoking?” Xu Chaomu looked at him with wide eyes.
She detected a faint scent of tobacco on him, and also, his lips were cold.
“Just one cigarette,” Shen Chi admitted truthfully.
“Something on your mind?” Xu Chaomu asked.
She remembered that he only smoked when he was troubled by work or had something on his mind. Considering the former was less likely, he must be preoccupied with something.
“Hmm, I’m afraid you would be mad at me,” Shen Chi said deliberately.
Xu Chaomu’s hand fell, her eyelids drooped, and she pursed her lips faintly, “I shouldn’t be dealing with you.”
“For the sake of my rush back from Los Angeles…” Shen Chi began but stopped, looking at her imploringly.
“Only for the baby’s sake.” Xu Chaomu murmured with a pout.
For the sake of her baby, his son, she would forgive him for now.
She thought to herself that she was probably the only one who could tolerate his temperament.

Her mood was still quite good at the moment. Even though little baby was still in the incubator, Shen Chi said there was nothing to worry about, and she could see the baby in a couple of days, so she was very much looking forward to it.
With anticipation, she cast all worries to the back of her mind.
“Alright, for the sake of the little guy,” Shen Chi smiled faintly at the corners of his lips.
He held her face again and kissed her lips softly.
“I’ve just given birth… don’t seduce me,” Xu Chaomu resisted his kiss.
Being this close to him, she genuinely feared her own impulses, that she might let herself be swayed by him again.
This man always called her Little Fairy, but in truth, she could hardly control herself when faced with his visage.
Shen Chi laughed aloud.
“During your pregnancy, I can count on one hand how many times I touched you, let alone now,” Shen Chi said, “What are you thinking?”
Xu Chaomu’s face flushed, and she laughed quietly.
“Shen Chi… tell me, the baby is really okay, right?” Xu Chaomu was not entirely at ease.
Her heart harbored anticipation, fantasies, and joy, but amidst all that beauty, there always lurked a thread of subtle unease.
“Yeah, he’s fine, just a little thin,” Shen Chi reassured her.
“I so want to see him…” Xu Chaomu’s eyelashes drooped, her tone tinged with helplessness.
“It’s the same for me.”
“You’re not as cute as he is.”
“You don’t want me anymore now that you have him?” Shen Chi watched her leisurely.
“What would I need you for now that I have him…” Xu Chaomu teased.
“Little Fairy.” Shen Chi gave her a sidelong glance.
Xu Chaomu laughed too, her smile beautiful and innocent in the light, like summertime ice cream ready to melt under sunlight, all sweetness.
The puppy Wealth wandered around the room, playing on its own without being clingy or destructive.
But the little dog was very curious; whenever it spotted something unfamiliar, it wanted to touch it.
And so, as Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu were talking, Wealth set its sights on the little dinosaur toy hanging above the baby crib, a thing it had never seen before.
After staring at it for a while, and seeing the dinosaur not move an inch,
Wealth hesitated for a good long while, then carefully reached out a paw to give it a tap.
As a result, the toy dinosaur turned over, scaring Wealth, who barked “Woof woof woof.”
Of course, the dinosaur ignored it, so Wealth reached out its paw to pull on it.
When Wealth barked, Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu both heard it, and they turned their heads together.
Seeing the silly Wealth, Xu Chaomu let out a snort of laughter, but she stopped after a while for fear of hurting her wound. She didn’t laugh out loud anymore, but she found it very amusing.
Her large eyes followed Wealth, the silly dog that wouldn’t let go of the fake dinosaur.
Shen Chi’s lips also curved up; he thought… if only their little bun was doing well, how nice it would be for the three of them to be together.
The little bun would probably like this silly dog a lot; when the time came, he would have Wealth watch over the little bun.
The night grew deeper, but Xu Chaomu wasn’t very sleepy. Shen Chi could tell she was both excited and delighted.
At nine thirty, Shen Chi stood up and said, “Chaomu, let’s go to sleep. It’s getting late. I’ll have Butler Ling take Wealth away.”
“I can’t sleep.” Xu Chaomu said.
“I’ll sleep on the bed next to you, we’ll turn off the lights. If you really can’t sleep, let’s just lie down and talk together,” Shen Chi suggested.
“That sounds good,” Xu Chaomu agreed.
Shen Chi carried Wealth out; the dog was tired from playing and had fallen asleep. Shen Chi moved gently, not waking it.
Butler Ling took Wealth away and tidied up the room for Xu Chaomu.
“Fourth Young Master, shall I leave this to you?” Butler Ling asked in a low voice from the doorway.
“Hmm, leave it to me.”
“Alright,” Butler Ling nodded.
She believed that no matter how much Xu Chaomu quarreled with Shen Chi, the person she wanted to see the most was still Shen Chi.
Xu Chaomu didn’t have a mother. Aside from Shen Chi, she no longer had any relatives in this world.
“Chaomu, good night,” Butler Ling waved to Xu Chaomu before leaving.
“Good night, Butler Ling,” Xu Chaomu smiled and said.
After Butler Ling left and closed the door, Shen Chi tidied up a bit more and then took a bath before lying down on the caretaker’s bed next to Xu Chaomu.
Shen Chi turned off the lights, and with that, the room plunged into darkness…
Both of them lay there, neither asleep.
Xu Chaomu always feared the hospital at night because it was so quiet then, especially in a room like this with decent sound insulation, where hardly any noise from outside could be heard at this hour.
The scent of disinfectant and the hospital’s particular smell hung in the air; she disliked staying in the hospital and even had a slight fear of it.
But now, with Shen Chi by her side, her heart felt much more at ease.
