Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Less Exercise in Bed

Subconsciously, he just held her tight.

"You’ve walked away without looking back before," Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but say with annoyance.

Shen Chi was taken aback and rubbed her hair, "I won’t do it again. Can’t you let bygones be bygones and not hold it against me?"

"Am I Xiaobao? I can overlook it with Xiaobao, but it’s different with you."

"..." Shen Chi looked innocent, "You can treat me the same as Xiaobao."

"How do you have the nerve?" Xu Chaomu was utterly won over by him.

"There once was a very proper young man who was led astray by a shameless young woman," Shen Chi said, pecking her face lightly, "So, the girl who corrupted him has to take responsibility for him for a lifetime, right?"

"What if the girl refuses to take responsibility?"

"You want to run after leading me astray? I dare you," Shen Chi teased her.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t resist; tickled by him, she had to beg for mercy, "Let go, let go. If it comes to that, I’ll treat you like Xiaobao from now on. Besides, I don’t think I’m the one who corrupted you. It’s in your nature as a man, especially someone like you, a true wolf."

"A wolf?" Shen Chi smiled meaningfully, "Then wouldn’t I be letting you down if I didn’t do something worthy of such praise?"

With that, without giving Xu Chaomu a chance to react, he leaned over and kissed her neck.

"Can’t you ever settle down? My back is sore."

"As long as my back isn’t sore, it’s fine."

"I’m tired!"

"As long as you’re enjoying it, that’s what matters."

"I... Uh..." Shen Chi simply sealed her lips with his, not letting her speak anymore.

And so, Shen Chi once again exhibited his wolfish nature, exhausting her once more.

Every time, Xu Chaomu was so overwhelmed by him that she couldn’t get enough, and she realized that he had indeed been very gentle when she was pregnant.

Now, he was like an insatiable wolf!

After a whole afternoon of this, Xu Chaomu was genuinely exhausted. Eventually, she forgot almost everything, only knowing to cling to Shen Chi, too tired even to lift her arms.

In the end, Shen Chi withdrew from her, covered her with clothes, and carried her upstairs.

Xu Chaomu slept heavily, while Shen Chi, rarely taking a day off, lay beside her the whole time, holding her tenderly.

When it was time for dinner, Shen Chi called the butler directly, "Chaomu is a bit tired. Just prepare some desserts and leave them in the kitchen."

The butler understood right away.

Young people sure have stamina, no matter what time of day or night.

"Understood, understood. I’ll also take care of Xiaobao," the butler said quickly.

"Good."

Xu Chaomu was sleeping soundly, truly worn out by Shen Chi. She slept through without even dreaming.

Shen Chi watched over her, working on his laptop by the bed.

Of course, he had also asked the servants, and learned that Xu Chaomu had gone out in the morning, returned looking worn out, and hadn’t eaten much lunch.

Was her "thank you" to him related to this?

He didn’t need her thanks; all he wanted was for her to understand that everything he did for her was willingly, without wanting to put any pressure on her.

Xu Chaomu slept for a long time.

Shen Chi’s bed was indeed much more comfortable than her own. Back then, she always wanted to climb into his bed—not for any other reason but to enjoy his bed’s comfort and, incidentally, to snuggle up to him.

But for many years, she had never gotten her way.

"Awake?" Shen Chi put away his laptop and looked at her.

"What time is it?"

"It’s seven in the evening."

"Ah, I’ve slept for such a long time..." Xu Chaomu gave him a glare, "You beast."

"Don’t you like it?" Shen Chi teased, lowering his head to whisper in her ear.

Xu Chaomu’s face flushed a deep red, and she fell silent.

"When you were in the living room, you told me you really liked it..."

"Get lost."

"I’m going to get you dinner, you’ll need energy after eating. But since you’ve slept so much, aren’t you going to have trouble sleeping tonight?"

Xu Chaomu knew what he meant and kicked him, "Are you getting dinner or not?"

Shen Chi smirked and went downstairs to get her dinner.

Xu Chaomu took the opportunity to take a bath but still found her legs were weak.

Beast.

After bathing, she leaned weakly against the big bed, too lazy to even lift an arm.

"This strawberry cheesecake is not bad, do you want some?" Shen Chi teased with a piece on his fork.

It smelled good, Xu Chaomu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and quickly nodded, "Yes..."

So... Shen Chi lifted his hand but fed the cake to his own mouth instead.

"Get lost!" Xu Chaomu was so angry that she rolled her eyes.

What a jerk! How could a man be so annoying!

Shen Chi just laughed; her pretend anger was much cuter than her real anger.

"There’s more, don’t rush." Only then did Shen Chi feed her a bite of the cake, "You should know, your husband is more tired. Looking at your frail body, not exercising regularly, are you suffering now?"

"It seems Mr. Shen exercises quite a bit normally." Xu Chaomu said sarcastically.

"I work out in the gym a lot, but not as much in bed. However, that will increase."

Xu Chaomu stopped speaking; had she really... corrupted him?

After dinner, Xu Chaomu lay back in bed.

"Mr. Shen, your bed is really comfortable, much more so than mine. You know how to enjoy life."

"They are the same, don’t be psychological."

"Yours is also bigger."

"Because your room is small."

Shen Chi’s face always carried a light smile; he couldn’t remember when he had last been this happy. Even if it was just for a moment of happiness, he felt everything he had paid was worth it.

He could also feel some changes in Xu Chaomu’s heart. Though subtle, a change was good.

Before, their relationship couldn’t have been worse. Now, even a little change was a good thing for him.

Speaking of which, he should first thank that light bulb. If not for his cute appearance and the silly and adorable way he spoke, Xu Chaomu would not have agreed to let him stay.

As long as she agreed to stay, it was good news; he could take care of the rest slowly.

After talking for a while, Xu Chaomu indeed didn’t feel sleepy anymore.

Shen Chi took her in his arms, letting her head rest on his shoulder.

Her long hair softly fell on his side as he gently caressed it.

"When do you go to work?" Shen Chi asked.

"The day after tomorrow."

"I’ll drive you."

"No need, I can go by myself."

"I’ll talk to your boss and ask for a few more days off," Shen Chi said in a domineering tone.

"You really think you can do whatever you want, huh? Our boss won’t listen to you, have you forgotten? Last time you offended his relative pretty badly." Xu Chaomu said, "It was at that teahouse, during the matchmaking."

"Oh, are you still going to go on blind dates?"

"It depends on my mood."

"Still depends on your mood? Hm?"

"Maybe I’ll find someone better than you." Xu Chaomu said, looking down.

"If you can’t find someone better, just stay obediently by my side, heard?" Shen Chi hugged her shoulder.
