Chapter 1241: Chapter 1241: Their First Time

Xu Chaomu smiled faintly, pinched Xiaobao’s cheeks, and kissed him, "Who wouldn’t like Xiaobao after seeing him, right? Right?"

Xiaobao grinned, as if he understood what Xu Chaomu said.

The butler also smiled, "Actually, Shen Chi didn’t like children in the past."

"What did he like?" Xu Chaomu asked disdainfully.

"..." The butler found himself at a loss for words.

Xu Chaomu had lunch with Xiaobao and then accompanied him to take a nap.

When she woke up from her nap, she rubbed her eyes and went downstairs, only to discover that Shen Chi was already sitting on the living room sofa.

As she got closer, she smelled a hint of alcohol on him. It wasn’t strong, but Xu Chaomu still frowned.

She seemed still half asleep, wearing her pajamas as she walked up to Shen Chi, "When did you get back?"

"I’ve been back for a while," he replied. "I saw you were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t have the heart to wake you."

"Oh, where’s Xiaobao?"

"I was afraid he’d disturb you, so I took him to another room," said Shen Chi.

"The dinner is over? You drank again." Xu Chaomu took two steps back disdainfully, squinting her eyes, looking like she hadn’t fully awoken.

"There’s no such thing as a dinner without drinks. I didn’t drink much. Come here, let me give you a hug," Shen Chi extended his hand.

"Disgust," Xu Chaomu shot him a glance before turning to walk away.

"..." Shen Chi’s mouth twitched.

At that moment, the sunlight outside was just right, and as Xu Chaomu turned her head, she faced the sunlight coming through the window.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, through the bare branches, casting circles of light and shadow on the ground. There was no wind outside, and it had the unique quiet of a winter afternoon.

Time seemed slow and expansive. She suddenly narrowed her eyes, silently observing everything.

She hadn’t provoked Shen Chi today, which was a rare occurrence. Recalling the scenes from prison, she felt... Shen Chi wasn’t that bad after all.

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Chi walked behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"I want you to go out with me to bask in the sun, would you like that?"

"How childish, almost like Xiaobao," Shen Chi ruffled her hair, "Behave, we shouldn’t, you’ll tan."

His warm breath brushed her ear, tickling her, with a hint of alcohol lingering.

In reality, he hadn’t drunk too much; he was still lucid.

"A man afraid of tanning?"

"What I mean is, you’ll tan."

"Being tanned is good; if I tan, you can dump me."

"As long as you’re Xu Chaomu, I’ll never dump you." Shen Chi held her in his arms, both looking out at the sunlight through the window.

The warm sunlight made everything seem just right, as if the bare tree trunks themselves had gained a bit more warmth, calm and unruffled.

Seeing such a docile Xu Chaomu, he couldn’t help but hold her a little longer.

Looking at the fragmented sunlight, Xu Chaomu’s heart melted bit by bit.

After a long while, she spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Shen Chi, thank you."

Shen Chi furrowed his brows, his hand instinctively tightened around her waist, "Thank me for what?"

"Nothing." Xu Chaomu hooked the corner of her lips.

"When did you become such a little white rabbit? I’m not used to it." His hand caressed her waist.

"Do you have a masochistic tendency? Do you only get happy when I scold you?"

Shen Chi’s face was covered in streaks of disbelief.

Xu Chaomu reached out a hand and, imitating his action, ruffled his hair, smiling as she said, "There, there, be good. Tonight, little white rabbit will take you to eat carrots."

"Carrots?" He suddenly sported a wicked grin, nibbling on her earlobe as he whispered, "It’s more like tonight, I’ll feed you carrots."

Xu Chaomu didn’t catch on at first, not until Shen Chi added, "Guaranteed to fill you up," that she jabbed him hard in the stomach with her elbow, "Get lost!"

This man’s indecent jokes always made her ears burn.

"You sure have a heavy hand." He frowned slightly, but he didn’t let go of her.

Holding her in the sunlight felt so good that he wished this moment could freeze.

He could sense that Xu Chaomu was in a relatively good mood, otherwise, if he were holding her, she would have pushed him away by now.

Her back was pressed against his chest, instantly narrowing the distance between their two hearts.

He caressed her waist, softly saying, "You haven’t told me yet what you’re thanking me for."

"Do you really need to ask?"

"I don’t accept gratitude without reason. I always keep my debts clear. If I’ve indeed done something worth your thanks, then I expect to be compensated."

"Talking nonsense because you haven’t woken up fully, you should just listen," Xu Chaomu pouted.

"I don’t believe our conscienceless little white rabbit suddenly starts to reflect on herself," Shen Chi said, and then he squeezed her waist.

His large hand quickly lifted her nightgown, wandering across her skin.

"Get off, get off," Xu Chaomu pushed him, "You reek of alcohol."

"After drinking... it’s just right." Saying that, Shen Chi lifted her in a tipsy embrace, carrying her to the soft sofa.

Only when he started unbuttoning did she realize what "just right" meant!

"It’s daytime!" Xu Chaomu glared at Shen Chi.

"This kind of thing doesn’t differentiate between day and night," Shen Chi pinned down her hands.

"We’re in the living room! Someone could come in at any moment!"

"I locked the door," Shen Chi said.

Xu Chaomu was out of excuses and of course, that someone didn’t give her the chance to find any, sealing all her intended words with a kiss.

This time, Shen Chi could clearly feel that Xu Chaomu didn’t resist much, and even under his guidance, her little hands slowly encircled his waist, a sign of increased pleasure compared to before.

"Mmm..." She closed her eyes.

He bit her earlobe, her collarbone.

She had to admit, this man’s skills were getting more and more adept in these matters...

His sweat dropped on her neck, and it was unclear how much time had passed when he finally finished their encounter.

Afterward, he held her in his arms, kissing her forehead gently and asked, "Did you enjoy it?"

Xu Chaomu’s face flushed, but she didn’t respond.

But she had to admit, this was the most harmonious and comfortable encounter they had ever had.

When she was pregnant before, she knew he dared not exert too much force, and on New Year’s Eve that night, she was so tipsy she couldn’t remember any sensation.

As for their first time, all she remembered was pain, intense pain.

"Next time you want it, just tell your husband. I can satisfy you anytime," Shen Chi said in a low voice as he kissed her forehead.

"Can we not talk about this?"

"Hmm? Not this topic? Then tell me why you were thanking me."

Xu Chaomu pursed her lips, couldn’t he be a bit less persistent?

"Xu Chaomu, every time you’re well-behaved, I can’t help getting anxious," Shen Chi sighed, "I’m afraid it’s because you’re mustering up courage like last year when you turned and walked away."
