Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Wedding Anniversary

Shen Chi felt that he had hugged her, kissed her, obtained the marriage certificate with her, and even shared a bed with her, but… he had never truly possessed her. It seemed a bit unreasonable, no?

It was as if he really wasn’t up to par.

“Mumu, would you like to be my woman?” Shen Chi’s voice was husky, his gaze hazy, as he kissed her from her lips down to her neck.

His kisses were passionate and lingering, at first like a light drizzle and then, like a sudden downpour, they fell upon her in waves.

“Mumu… Mumu…” In the depths of his emotion, he called out her name, unable to extricate himself.

“Shameless!” Xu Chaomu angrily retaliated, kicking him with her foot.

“Shameless? Then I won’t kiss the face…”

And so, Shen Chi’s lips found hers. He admitted that she was like a poppy—once touched, he couldn’t shake her off.

She was an addiction he could never rid himself of this lifetime. They had known each other for thirteen years, and they were meant to be together forever.

“Mm… Shen, Shen Chi, I’m… I’m pregnant, don’t mess around…” Xu Chaomu struggled to push him away.

Hearing the words “pregnant,” all of Shen Chi’s desires faded. His hands stilled, and his eyes returned to their usual calmness, without a ripple of emotion.

Sure enough, he let go of her, straightening out his robe.

Xu Chaomu quickly got up from the bed, thinking this man was nothing but a beast.

Damn beast!

She fixed her hair and pulled her nightgown together. Knowing he was unwilling to give her the marriage certificate, she simply decided to go downstairs.

“Mumu, wait, I haven’t finished talking. Sit by me, and let’s have a proper conversation.”

Shen Chi pulled her hand, dragging her beside him.

“Fine then, you talk, I’m listening.”

Xu Chaomu really wanted to act like those dramatic scenes in TV shows, covering her ears and yelling, “I won’t listen, won’t listen, you’re just a liar.”

But she wasn’t so childish.

“Mumu, Jian Sisi… you know about her, right?”

Shen Chi had thought a lot yesterday. He knew he could not make the same mistake he made five years ago. Many misunderstandings needed to be voiced to be resolved.

Since they were now husband and wife, they should be honest with each other.

After all, how many five-year periods could one have in a lifetime?

“That little lover who sought death by threatening to jump off a building? Quite pretty, exactly your type,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

That man, his tastes were just so.

“She’s my secretary, hired just four years ago.”

“Oh, no surprise there. Secretaries usually end up developing into little lovers,” Xu Chaomu said nonchalantly, fiddling with her nails.

“Mumu, there’s actually nothing between her and me. She’s only been helping me manage the business affairs of the group. She’s diligent and has good performance, so I’ve kept her around.”

“Even if there was something between you two, it’s none of my business. You have so many women, one more doesn’t make a difference.”

“Mumu, I don’t have that many women…” Shen Chi felt particularly wronged.

“Done talking? If you’re done, I’m leaving, I’m hungry.”

“Wait, I haven’t gotten to the main point yet.”

“The main point? Oh, there’s a main point? Let’s hear it, I’m all ears,” said Xu Chaomu, suddenly intrigued.

“Promise me you won’t get angry first.”

“Are you going to talk or not?”

“Okay, I’ll talk. There was really nothing between Jian Sisi and me; she handled my affairs, and I gave her a generous salary. She never troubled me. Xiao Mo stayed on Sumatra Island around that time, and she helped solve many problems for me.”

“Damn it, do you have a main point?” Xu Chaomu’s eyes widened, finding the man incredibly long-winded.

“The main point is…”

Shen Chi’s eyes darkened, his expression turning somber.

He had no idea what Xu Chaomu’s reaction would be after he spoke. After all, five years ago she had said, “I don’t want a secondhand man.” Now, how would she feel about him, given her lukewarm attitude towards him?

He cared deeply about her thoughts.

Xu Chaomu waited, but what was the main point?

“Shen Chi, are you going to speak or not? If not, I’m leaving!”

“The main point is, over two months ago, I got too drunk and accidentally slept with her,” Shen Chi finally confessed.

After saying this, he felt a lot more relieved. He didn’t want to hide it from her; they should be honest with each other.

Yet Xu Chaomu appeared completely nonchalant, as if she didn’t care at all.

In fact, her eyes shined with mischief as she looked at him, “Could you describe the details more vividly? I quite enjoy hearing about that…”

Shen Chi’s mouth twitched.

“Come on, tell me. That’s the crucial point, and I love listening.”

“Aren’t you afraid you’ll give birth to a perverted son or a hooligan daughter? Is this really how you want to do pre-natal education?”

“Are you going to speak or not? Speak or not!” Xu Chaomu put her hands on her hips, threatening him, “I want to hear that!”

“No,” Shen Chi refused, his expression darkening. How could he brazenly speak of such matters?

“Not going to talk? Then from now on, you must not speak to me!”

As Xu Chaomu stood to leave, she hadn’t taken a step before Shen Chi pulled her back down onto the seat.

“Growing up with adult comics, and now you’re telling me this,” Shen Chi had a headache but then slyly smirked, “No matter how much you know in theory… we could actually practice it.”

“Practice with your great uncle!”

Struggling, pulling, Xu Chaomu tried to free her hand!

“Mumu, that one time, I really drank too much. Do you know what day it was?”

“Hm?”

“It was our wedding anniversary.”

Shen Chi reached out to caress her hair, his eyes brimming with endless tenderness. His long, clean fingers brushed away the stray strands from her forehead…

Wedding anniversary?

Xu Chaomu thought about it. Five years earlier on that day, she had gone with Shen Chi to get a notarization; that night, he took her back to Waterside Pavilion and personally cooked a whole table of dishes.

Belatedly, she hadn’t thought much of it.

He said it was to celebrate some award he had won years ago, and she didn’t suspect anything.

Latter, he also gave her a necklace with a jade pendant…

He said: I promise you a lifetime, day and night.

Back then, she had never imagined that it was their wedding day.

Wait, something’s wrong. Five years later on their wedding anniversary, he got drunk?

“Mumu, you left for five years; I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime. Really, I thought it was for a lifetime.”

A wave of sorrow welled up in his heart. Those five years, every day, were shrouded in sadness.

The lively Xu Chaomu was gone. Back then, his heart felt as though it had turned to ashes.

Fortunately, after five years, she came back.

Xu Chaomu was a bit dazed, their wedding anniversary…

Turning her head, she looked at him seriously: “What day is our wedding anniversary? Wait, not ours, just the anniversary day?”

“How is it not ‘ours’?” Shen Chi looked at her affectionately, “Remember it well, April 18th.”
