Chapter 364: Chapter 364: When Love is Deep, it Goes Deep
Shen Chi was clever, he had already guessed what was going on from her expression.
Just now, Xu Chaomu probably saw his mother.
“Mumu.” Shen Chi walked up to her side.
“Hmm.” Xu Chaomu responded faintly, not even lifting her head.
“Are you thirsty? Have some water.” Shen Chi twisted open the orange juice for her and passed it to her hand, then tried to take her handbag from her wrist.
Xu Chaomu was still holding a list in her hand, but she didn’t take Shen Chi’s drink, nor did she hand over her handbag, just kept her head low and moved forward.
At this moment, there were tremendous fluctuations in her heart. Like waves, they kept coming back and forth.
“What did my mother say to you?” Shen Chi had fully understood.
“Nothing.” Xu Chaomu’s tone wasn’t very nice.
“No matter what she said to you, don’t listen; just hand over your heart to me, and I’ll take care of everything for you. You just need to be responsible for being happy every day, promise me, okay?”
Shen Chi was very serious when he said these words, his solemn face was meticulously earnest.
“How can I dare to give my heart to you? Once, it was so badly tricked by you that it was scarred.”
Xu Chaomu raised her head, there was no doubt, Zhou Ran’s appearance had evoked all her memories from five years ago.
The night five years ago was a pain she would never forget in her lifetime.
If that night, the bullet had passed through her back, and she had died, it might have been better.
But unfortunately, she survived, and thus she had to suffer the sorrow in her memory that she couldn’t forget.
“I didn’t mean to keep it from you on purpose.”
“It’s been five years, to me, it doesn’t matter anymore.”
The tone of Xu Chaomu was very calm, and her whole being seemed unusually serene. Only when she talked about these things did she seem especially desolate.
She kept walking forward, not taking his drink or handing over her handbag.
She followed the checklist item by item, proceeding with each step.
Electrocardiogram, complete blood count, ultrasound…
Shen Chi followed by her side the whole time, although she didn’t speak, he silently accompanied her.
After the full set of procedures were completed, the doctor informed her to come back for the pregnancy test report tomorrow.
Xu Chaomu silently left the hospital, walking down from the fourth floor to the ground floor, her face devoid of too much emotion.
When they got to the lobby downstairs, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Shen Chi who had been following her all the time.
“Shen Chi, I don’t want to go back to the Shen Family anymore.”
Shen Chi’s handsome eyebrows furrowed, “Did my mom say something nasty to you?”
“It has nothing to do with your mother; I just don’t want to go back to the Shen Family anymore, stop forcing me.”
Under the sunlight, Xu Chaomu’s large eyes lacked any sparkle, somewhat empty and weak, and her complexion was a bit pale.
Shen Chi feared most this version of her; it didn’t matter to him how much she fought with him, but he was afraid when she suddenly became quiet.
“If you don’t want to go back to the Shen Family, then I will take you to Waterside Pavillion, okay?”
“No.”
“Mumu, don’t be like this, let’s talk it out. Don’t leave me again, I can’t bear to live a life without you.”
He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her, his gaze filled with tenderness and hope, his young and handsome face devoid of the usual ice and indifference under the sunlight.
His arms tightly enclosed her waist, resting her small head against his chest.
He was terribly afraid of her leaving again.
All the sadness from five years ago slowly spread, like seaweed, wrapping around his heart making it difficult for him to breathe.
Xu Chaomu fell silent, her small head pressed against his chest, she could smell his familiar and pleasant scent.
The sun shone on her, and she closed her eyes, simply allowing Shen Chi to hold her against his chest.
Passersby came and went around them, but he just held her, refusing to let go.
“Shen Chi…”
After a long, long time, she sniffled and called out his name.
His name was once the most beautiful two words during the best years of her life, each time she uttered it, it was like a spring breeze, causing ripples in the heart of her teenage self.
“Mumu…” his grip on her tightened.
Her sweet and sticky voice melted every corner of his heart.
People say that Shen Chi is cold and heartless, but who understands that he simply gave all his tenderness to one person. Just that, and nothing more.
When love intensified, it deepened profoundly.
He lifted her face, and with a bow of his head, he pressed a deep kiss upon her lips.
This kiss, like the pure sunlight, was untainted, gentle and lovely. And like the rain in the season of blossoming peach trees in March, it was refreshing and enduring.
The deep kiss continued, intertwining endlessly.
From her lips to inside her mouth, his kisses remained somewhat domineering. Because Xu Chaomu, this fool, had been kissed by him so many times yet still stood there stunned, not knowing how to respond.
Every time he kissed her, she was silly, sometimes blinking her eyes, sometimes closing them, but her foolish expression never changed.
Shen Chi kissed her, touched her small head, growing more helpless.
The little rascal Xu Chaomu, with a whole bunch of theoretical knowledge.
His kisses always had a hint of cool and refreshing taste, like freshly brewed spring tea.
Xu Chaomu was initially dazed, and it wasn’t until several minutes into his kiss that she remembered they were at the hospital entrance, amidst a sea of people, under countless pairs of eyes…
Her face turned red at once, wishing she could bury her head into a crack in the ground.
However, the man held her small head dominantly, not allowing her the chance to bow it.
After a full ten minutes of kissing, when Xu Chaomu was almost out of breath, he finally released her lips, “After so much ‘training’, you still haven’t learned.”
“You, of course, have plenty of experience…” Xu Chaomu caught her breath and glared at him.
“Don’t wrong me, I’m entirely self-taught.”
“Shameless.” Xu Chaomu muttered softly.
Her face still showed displeasure, but compared to earlier, it had improved a lot.
“Mumu, didn’t you want to buy handbags and bracelets? I’ll take you shopping.”
Xu Chaomu pouted, unwilling.
Shen Chi hugged her shoulders again and coaxed her, “Whatever you like, we’ll buy it, all right? I’ll listen to you.”
Xu Chaomu still didn’t speak, so Shen Chi had no choice but to coax her again, “Hubby will go shopping with you, and we can also buy something for the baby, okay?”
Xu Chaomu remained silent, so Shen Chi wrapped his arm around her shoulder, “Let’s go then, time to shop.”
He opened the passenger door for her, let her sit down, and as always, buckled her seatbelt for her.

As the Maybach left the hospital, it was noon; the sun lazily hung in the sky, clear and cloudless everywhere.
Shen Chi drove the car towards the largest upscale shopping mall in C City; he had already turned off his phone. He wanted to devote his time to Xu Chaomu.
As he drove, Xu Chaomu habitually turned her head to look at him.
If, just now, she hadn’t seen Zhou Ran, perhaps the memory of five years ago would slowly settle down.
But the fact was, she had seen Zhou Ran.
