Chapter 370: Chapter 370: We’ve Been Married for Over Two Years

“Mm,” Shen Chi didn’t say much, “Let’s go.”

“Shen Chi, I haven’t seen them in five years.”

“And you haven’t seen me in five years, either, have you?”

“I’m being serious with you.” Xu Chaomu pouted, sounding dissatisfied.

Just as Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi stepped out of the shoe store, Mo Shuifu, wearing those red high heels, was turning around in front of a mirror.

She had intended to show them to Shen Shihan, but when she looked up, she saw Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu instead.

Shen Chi was tall, so she spotted him first.

Mo Shuifu was somewhat surprised when she didn’t see Xu Chaomu beside him at first, because for the past five years, she had never seen Shen Chi with his arm around another woman.

Although there were constant rumors about Shen Chi, she had never actually witnessed any.

But within a few seconds, she saw Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu! It was Xu Chaomu!

Five years had passed, and although Xu Chaomu had changed, she recognized her immediately!

She hadn’t expected Xu Chaomu to return.

No wonder Shen Chi was with a woman; it turned out that the woman was none other than Xu Chaomu.

Mo Shuifu was immediately stunned, her heart a mix of sorrow and joy; she had always thought that Xu Chaomu was no longer of this world.

“Chaomu, Chaomu!” Mo Shuifu forgot to take off the new shoes on her feet and ran straight toward Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu looked up and saw Mo Shuifu running towards her in high heels.

She pulled away from Shen Chi and walked toward Mo Shuifu, “Shui Fu.”

Shen Shihan also turned his head, and when he saw Xu Chaomu, his eyes showed a complex expression.

He hadn’t expected her to come back.

What surprised him even more was that she was standing by Shen Chi’s side, just like five years ago…

The girl had grown a lot taller, her little face had lost its immaturity, and she looked more like a young woman.

Xu Chaomu and Mo Shuifu hugged each other, and tears streamed down from Mo Shuifu’s eyes.

Mo Shuifu cried, and so did Xu Chaomu.

“Chaomu, when did you come back? Where have you been these five years?”

“I’ve been back for a few days, and for these five years, I’ve been in Paris.”

“You didn’t come back to C City even once? How has life been for you out there?”

“Yeah, I never came back. I was afraid to return, but I’ve been quite well in Paris. What about you, Shui Fu? Have you been in C City for these five years? How have you been?”

Xu Chaomu spoke, and Shen Chi listened silently, never having asked Xu Chaomu about these things because he feared the past would touch her wounds.

He hadn’t been part of those five years, but he was determined not to be absent from her future.

“I… I’ve been quite well too.”

As Mo Shuifu spoke, her head dipped slightly, avoiding eye contact.

She knew that Shen Shihan was watching her.

These five years, she had actually had it pretty good. Shen Shihan was very kind to her, giving her whatever she wanted.

“Shui Fu, you and Shihan…” Xu Chaomu wanted to know how far they had progressed.

Before Mo Shuifu could speak, Shen Shihan’s heart skipped a beat.

He had thought that Xu Chaomu would be so angry that she would call him by his name; instead, she still referred to him as “third brother.”

He knew he had wronged her.

“We got married.” Mo Shuifu’s tone was very calm, devoid of any joy; it was plain and emotionless.

Xu Chaomu was slightly taken aback. Married?

“When… when did you get married?”

“We’ve been married for over two years,” Mo Shuifu said.

“Over two years?” Xu Chaomu was even more surprised. Then, did Mo Shuifu and Shen Shihan truly love each other?

But because Shen Shihan was there, Xu Chaomu didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask too much. They had actually been married for over two years.

What exactly had happened in these five years? She always felt like she had been cut off from their world.

Everyone was moving forward, and it seemed only Shen Chi still stood in place waiting for her.

“I’ve been at the Shen Family’s place these past few days and didn’t see you.” Xu Chaomu said.

“Shihan bought a villa outside, and we live there. We haven’t been back to the Shen Family’s place for a long time.”

Then, Shen Shihan stepped forward, wrapped his arm around Mo Shuifu’s waist, and said to Xu Chaomu, “Chaomu, you’re welcome to come and keep Shui Fu company when you have time.”

He knew he shouldn’t hope; Xu Chaomu must despise him.

Sure enough, Xu Chaomu did not respond but just bit her lip lightly.

She, Xu Chaomu, wasn’t that magnanimous, but she still treated Mo Shuifu like a sister.

Shen Chi took a step forward and said, “If third sister-in-law feels bored, she can come to the Shen Family to chat with Chaomu.”

Mo Shuifu genuinely missed Xu Chaomu and nodded, “Definitely, when I have time, I will definitely come to visit Chaomu at the Shen Family’s.”

She had many questions for her. Why had she been able to stay away from C City for five years in Paris? And why, after five years, did she suddenly return?

However, Shen Chi’s words were undoubtedly a provocation toward Shen Shihan.

Shen Shihan raised his head, his piercing gaze meeting Shen Chi’s eyes.

Shen Chi was not intimidated and met his gaze head-on, ready for a confrontation!

The two men, with outward calm, barely showing any ripples, but the tension between them was palpable only to each other.

“We won’t disturb third brother and third sister-in-law any longer, we’ll be going now.”

With that, Shen Chi took Xu Chaomu’s hand and pulled her aside.

“Shui Fu…” Xu Chaomu still wanted to talk to Mo Shuifu.

“Chaomu, let’s talk another day, another day,” Mo Shuifu said, waving her hand.

Shen Chi forcefully dragged Xu Chaomu into the elevator, like pulling along a little white rabbit.

Once the elevator doors closed, he pressed the button for the fifth floor.

Xu Chaomu, not minding the presence of many people in the elevator, snapped at Shen Chi, “I wanted to talk more with Shui Fu; why did you pull me away?”

“Shen Shihan is standing next to Mo Shuifu, and you really feel nothing?”

“Of course I feel something! He deceived me back then and even teamed up with Zhou Peitian to kidnap me, but you’re not much better, are you? If you pull me away, does it mean I should stay away from you too?”

“Stop it.” Shen Chi’s brow furrowed.

“I don’t need you to control me!” Xu Chaomu shook him off.

The people in the elevator were all watching them with uniform glances, filled with various expressions.

Confusion, disdain, curiosity.

The elevator moved swiftly and with a “ding,” it reached the third floor, just as someone was getting off.

Xu Chaomu knew Shen Chi had pressed for the fifth floor, but when someone exited on the third, she quickly dashed out just as the doors were closing!

She went down, and Shen Chi rushed to press the door open button.

“Mumu, Mumu, be careful!” Shen Chi bolted from the elevator.

Xu Chaomu ran quickly ahead, feeling uncomfortable inside.

Five years had passed, and she was no longer the carefree young girl; she had her own plans and thoughts. And Shen Chi? He still liked to control her!

During those five years in Paris, no one had controlled her, and she had been just fine.

Yet once back in her home country, he still behaved the same way. Couldn’t he change?

She had her own thoughts; she didn’t need him watching over her all the time.
