Chapter 389: Chapter 389 What is Love

“Shen Chi, apart from having daughters, what else can you do…” Xu Chaomu’s eye twitched, cutting him off.

Shen Chi’s lips curved into a captivating smile, lowering his voice, “I can also have sons.”

“Are you planning to have an entire soccer team?”

“Two kids first, plus the two of us, we can play mahjong together. Then, we can slowly have more while playing mahjong.”

Xu Chaomu leaned her hand against her forehead. What does he mean by having more while playing mahjong?

That image… so beautiful.

What happened to being aloof? What happened to being tsundere? Why does she only see an extremely black-hearted… wolf.

“Shen Chi, your head doesn’t hurt anymore?” Xu Chaomu tilted her head and asked.

“How could it not hurt when you flirt with other men every day and I spend every day wondering how to pluck your rotten suitors?”

“You are my biggest rotten suitor.” Xu Chaomu huffed and poked his arm with her finger.

Not just a rotten suitor, but one that can’t be shaken off no matter how hard she tries.

“Mumu, tell me, why did you go with Nie Chenglang? Even at the risk of going to prison?” Shen Chi asked her this very seriously.

“Because of love.”

“Bullshit love.” Shen Chi exploded in anger, letting loose a curse.

“Mind your influence, will you? You’re corrupting my baby.” Xu Chaomu stroked her belly, hmphing coldly.

“I apologize, being near vermillion one becomes red, being near ink one becomes black. Being around you too long, it’s hard to control myself.”

“Blaming me now?”

“No, no, no, the wife is always right.”

“Your pandering has improved, seems like these years haven’t been spent idly, charming women left and right.” Xu Chaomu teased.

She hugged the doll, crossing her hands on her lap, and looked down, fiddling with the doll’s arms.

“You still haven’t answered me, why did you go with Nie Chenglang?”

“I did answer you.”

Shen Chi furrowed his brows, his voice unavoidably raised: “Don’t brush me off!”

“How am I brushing you off, can’t I experience love?” Xu Chaomu was dissatisfied.

“You can experience love, but only with me!” His overbearing temperament was surfacing again.

“Can we have a proper conversation? If not, then stop the car and let me out.”

The man was instantly deflated, softening his tone, “Then tell me, what’s your love with him like? Let me hear if it’s earth-shattering or ghost-weeping.”

“Just simple happiness, that’s all.”

“For instance?”

“In Paris, no matter how busy he was, he would take me out every week to see different sceneries. He had a lot of patience, and he would tell me all kinds of interesting customs and cultures. He’d take me to church to hear the Bible recited, would teach me to ski… I was very clumsy, but he never complained about my clumsiness.”

Reminiscing, Xu Chaomu’s eyes became moist.

Nie Chenglang was indeed very good to her.

Not only that, if it weren’t for Nie Chenglang, she probably wouldn’t have survived until now.

Her first winter in Paris, she almost froze to death on the streets.

That hunger and cold, she remembers like it was engraved in her bones.

“Yes, you are stupid, too stupid to even know what love is.” Shen Chi’s voice was low.

“How do I not know?” Xu Chaomu’s face flushed as she argued with him.

“Do you know what love is, what warmth is?” Shen Chi retorted, “Let me tell you, love is when a day apart feels like three years, even in dreams you’ll think of him, when you see him smile, you smile too, when he’s in pain, you feel it too. It’s an obsession that haunts your dreams, an emotion. You can only feel this when you truly love someone.”

“Mr. Shen has quite the eloquence, truly worthy of a CEO.” Xu Chaomu pouted, defeatedly sitting back in her seat.

“I’m being serious with you, stop talking nonsense!”

“I’m not listening, I won’t listen!”

Now it was Shen Chi’s turn to feel defeated.

Turns out all his long speech was just monologue from his part?

“You need to think for yourself, do you actually like Nie Chenglang or not. You have to be clear, take a good look at your own heart. If you just feel warm with him, don’t have to worry about anything, and he happens to treat you well, then let me tell you clearly, that’s not love!” Shen Chi added.

“I’m too dumb, I can’t tell.”

“You!” Shen Chi was so angry he was at a loss for words.

He wasn’t sure whether she was genuinely naive or just pretending to be.

“Xu Chaomu, are you trying to anger me to death, huh?”

“If you die from anger, my son can become the CEO,” Xu Chaomu huffed.

Shen Chi’s face was a picture of exasperation.

Xu Chaomu, on the other hand, was quite proud of herself, finally scoring a point, wasn’t she!

Shen Chi was so irritated he stopped talking to her, pursing his lips and focusing on driving. One day, this wretched girl would drive him to his grave!

After much talking, it turned out he was the one babbling. In the end, she didn’t take in a single word he said.

Xu Chaomu cradled the doll, quietly watching ahead.

The car was silent, the air scented with eucalyptus.

Xu Chaomu’s mind swirled with Shen Chi’s words; actually… she understood everything, but then, what of it…

The car kept driving, taking a long time to finally reach the Shen Family’s residence.

He dropped her off at the gates of the Shen Family’s house, didn’t get out of the car and only told her, “Go rest well at home, tell Butler Ling anything you want to eat, I’ll come back in the evening. Need anything? I’ll bring it for you.”

“I want you not to come back tonight,” Xu Chaomu jumped out of the car, clutching her doll and walked away.

“You!” Shen Chi shook his head, amused yet exasperated.

He stayed at the gate for a while, watching her enter the Shen Family house before turning his car around to leave.

It was the hottest time of the day, with the sun blazing high in the sky, scorching the earth.

The roadside trees seemed wilted, their leaves drooping and turning yellow from the sun. Even the cicadas were too lazy to chirp, and the whole street was silent.

Shen Chi’s car continued towards the Group, his mind still pondering the matter reported to him by Xiao Mo.

Shen Shihan’s three financial lifelines… the underground bank, arms, drugs.

All three, almost illegal, yet Shen Shihan dared hugely!

But Shen Chi had to admit, these three would bring immense profits to Shen Shihan!

Shen Shihan was not dumb; he was skilled and daring. Knowing these profits would be unavailable through ordinary means, he would surely think about how to hollow out Shen’s next.

But Shen Chi, he was no fool either.

After returning to the Shen Family house, Xu Chaomu kept her head down as she walked through the living room towards the stairs.

Butler Ling was tidying things in the living room and was surprised to see Xu Chaomu return.

In less than half a day, the Fourth Master had brought Xu Chaomu back home.

In her eyes, no matter what fiancé Nie Chenglang, the Fourth Master was the most charming.

“Chaomu, you’re back. Are you tired? The baby is healthy, right?”

“Hello, Butler Ling. The baby is doing well.” Xu Chaomu greeted and continued upstairs.
