Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Buying Contraceptives

But, since he was just a little tyke, he could only grin and pretend to be very happy.

"Ah, Xiaobao is smiling at me, does he really like me?" Yu Weiwei said with a laugh.

Xu Chaomu smiled too, "He must be happy to see his aunt."

Shen Chi threw a wet blanket on it, "He smiles at everyone like that, even if he’s not happy, he still smiles at you."

"..." Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched.

Yu Weiwei didn’t mind and played with Xiaobao for a while; Xu Chaomu went over to tease the little dumpling.

The little dumpling was only a few months younger than Xiaobao, but he looked so small. Picky eaters are not good children.

While playing with Xiaobao, Yu Weiwei was pleasantly surprised to find out that he could call for mommy and daddy, as well as uncle and auntie, and sometimes even say some simple words.

Later, she also discovered that the baby was good at playing games, building blocks particularly well, much smarter than other children his age.

"Chaomu, how did you teach him to be so clever?" Yu Weiwei said enviously.

Before Xu Chaomu could answer, Shen Chi cut in solemnly, "I taught him."

"..." Xu Chaomu simply stopped talking.

"Oh, it turns out it was CEO Shen who taught him. It’s rare for CEO Shen to have such patience," Yu Weiwei had a double meaning in her words. She also knew that Shen Chi had a temper, wouldn’t even bother to coax a woman, let alone have the patience to teach children.

The main point is, she didn’t believe it at all.

"Hmm." Shen Chi snorted coldly.

Yu Weiwei gave Xu Chaomu a look, signaling her disbelief.

"Indeed, you taught him all that nonsense," Xu Chaomu snorted back.

"What do you mean by nonsense?" Shen Chi retorted, a bit unhappy.

"..." Xu Chaomu fell silent, knowing he was well aware of it himself.

For instance, he even taught Xiaobao to ask for a little sister...

Thinking of this, Xu Chaomu remembered she needed to find an opportunity to go downstairs to buy contraceptive pills later.

These past few days, Shen Chi hadn’t taken any precautions at all, clearly on purpose. Fortunately, she was on her safe period and it was not likely she’d get pregnant, but it was still necessary to prevent the unexpected.

"Let’s go eat hot pot later, I’ve already booked a table. It’s really hard to book a place during the New Year," Li Beiting said.

In the past, going out for a meal never required booking a place. Who in C City didn’t know Li Beiting? But now, having separated from the Li Family, he was no longer as prestigious as before, but as long as he liked it, it was fine.

This year, Weiwei’s research institute had done very well. He was aware that the Li Family had been suppressing them in the shadows, but fortunately, with the help of Shen Chi and his brothers, the Li Family didn’t dare to take too much action.

He also hoped for the day when his father would relent. He wanted to bring Weiwei back to the Li Family reunion.

Since Weiwei gave birth to the little dumpling, his parents hadn’t visited even once. In fact... he knew that both of them were just being stubborn; deep down, they surely wanted to see their grandchild.

He thought that after some time, he would take Weiwei and the little dumpling to the Li Family.

As their son, he must take the initiative to lower his stance.

"Great, let’s have hot pot," Xu Chaomu said happily.

"Hot pot is fine, but no alcohol," Shen Chi said, ruffling her hair.

"You can’t tell me what to do," Xu Chaomu snorted.

"I don’t care who will if I don’t." Shen Chi wrapped an arm around her waist and pinched her waist.

Yu Weiwei and Li Beiting exchanged glances, and the two of them quietly entered the bedroom.

Yu Weiwei whispered, "What’s the deal with those two? Have they reconciled? Has Chaomu forgiven Shen Chi?"

Li Beiting spread his hands, "I don’t know either, but... although Chaomu seems very happy, it doesn’t necessarily mean she has truly forgiven Shen Chi. With the New Year, Chaomu probably just wants to be happy for a bit, but after that, who knows?"

"Only Chaomu can put up with Shen Chi’s temper, who else? But she loves him, she hasn’t forgotten him all these years," said Yu Weiwei.

"What can you do about that, when you’re in love, everything about him seems perfect in her eyes. It’s just that, what happened last year really hurt Chaomu."

"Not just that, there’s also the issue between her and Shen Chi’s mother, how’s that going to be resolved?" Yu Weiwei said worriedly.

"Give Shen Chi some time, I believe he can handle it," said Li Beiting.

"Pfft, I don’t believe it. If he could have handled it, wouldn’t he have done so after all these years?" Yu Weiwei had never been very fond of Shen Chi.

"He’s busy, as you know, a huge conglomerate depends on him, and Shen Shihan is lurking around. However, I still believe he can handle it."

"But what about now? Chaomu has adopted a child, do you think Shen Chi will accept it?"

"Of course, why wouldn’t he?" Li Beiting was very confident, "When Xu Chaomu was pregnant, he accepted the child in her belly, so I’m sure he will accept the adopted child too. But you know, although Shen Chi is at fault, it’s not easy for a man to do what he’s done."

"You always make excuses for him!" Yu Weiwei pinched Li Beiting’s arm, "If it weren’t for him, would Chaomu have left? Six years ago, if he had been just a little nicer to Chaomu, she wouldn’t have left. And six years ago, he acted all proud, who can he blame?"

Yu Weiwei remembered the time she got drunk at the bar; Xu Chaomu had been drugged, and Shen Chi had remained indifferent.

At the time, Yu Weiwei really wondered if there was something wrong with Shen Chi.

"Cough cough." Li Beiting coughed lightly, "Back then, Chaomu was still young, Shen Chi thought they would always live on."

"He’s just full of himself," Yu Weiwei snorted coldly.

"Come on, let’s clean up and go eat hotpot." Li Beiting put his arm around her shoulders.

Yu Weiwei then picked a coat from the wardrobe and walked out with Li Beiting.

The hotpot restaurant wasn’t far, just a ten-minute walk away.

Xu Chaomu and Yu Weiwei each held a child, and the two of them hadn’t seen each other for a long time, there was so much to talk about.

Xiaobao and Xiaotuanzi were quite affectionate, playfully causing trouble from time to time.

"Brother!" Xiaobao called out.

Xiaotuanzi couldn’t yet say "brother" and just blinked his big eyes at Xiaobao.

However, after playing for a while, they got into a fight, Xiaotuanzi pulled Xiaobao’s hair, and Xiaobao, angered, pulled Xiaotuanzi’s hair too.

Luckily, Xu Chaomu noticed in time and slapped Xiaobao’s hand, "Xiaobao, how could you bully your brother? As the older brother, how could you fight with your brother?"

Xiaobao pouted; it was Xiaotuanzi who started it.

Xiaotuanzi huddled in Yu Weiwei’s arms, pretending to be oblivious, and when he saw Xiaobao getting "hit" by Xu Chaomu, he sneakily peeked.

"Xiaobao, if you dare to hit your brother again, Mommy will hit you. You’re not being friendly at all. What has Mommy taught you?" Xu Chaomu scolded.

Xiaobao remained silent, feeling very aggrieved.

Afterwards, Xu Chaomu tried to talk to him, but he ignored her completely.

Xu Chaomu tried to feed him, but he refused to eat.
