Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248: Wishing Everyone Could Kick Him Once

Xu Chaomu stayed at the Shen Family’s home, playing with Xiaobao, but was always distracted.

Xiaobao reached out and touched her hair, sensing that his mother seemed unhappy.

"Mommy..." Xiaobao called out sweetly.

Xu Chaomu snapped back to reality and smiled warmly, "What are you calling Mommy for?"

"Play."

"Okay, Mommy will play with you." Xu Chaomu took him to the Shen Family’s game room, which had many fun things.

"Daddy..." Xiaobao called out while he played.

Those two words were the ones he knew best, alternating between calling for Mommy and Daddy.

"Daddy’s gone out, he’ll be back in a bit." Xu Chaomu hugged him, joining him in play.

The game room was warm, and Xiaobao, wearing only a sweater, looked obedient and well-behaved. He played with sand by himself, occasionally grabbing Xu Chaomu’s hand to join him.

Xu Chaomu remained preoccupied. The test results were in; she truly was Bai Xuan’s daughter.

What would Bai Xuan think if he found out about this?

Shen Chi had said that the decision was hers to make, and she knew she had to face it all herself.

"Baby hungry..." After playing for a while, Xiaobao pouted and dived into Xu Chaomu’s arms.

"Alright, Mommy will take you to have dinner." Xu Chaomu picked him up.

"Um..." Xiaobao seemed to agree.

Just as they stepped out, Shen Chi returned.

He handed the report to Xu Chaomu while taking Xiaobao from her arms.

Upon seeing Shen Chi, Xiaobao’s eyes instantly brightened, and he called out crisply, "Daddy!"

"Hey, good boy." Shen Chi laughed and kissed him.

The feeling of having a son was wonderful, and because the feeling of the three of them together was so good, he cherished it even more.

Xu Chaomu examined the paternity report carefully from top to bottom. It wasn’t her first time seeing such a document, and she understood it.

The result confirmed that Bai Xuan was her father.

"Shen Chi, how could Bai Xuan be my father? It feels like a dream," Xu Chaomu said with self-mockery, still unable to come to terms with it.

"Stop worrying, I’ll take you to meet Bai Xuan when it’s time."

"I don’t know how to face him."

"You have to face it eventually. Be strong, you have me, don’t you?"

"Does Bai Xuan know about this?" Xu Chaomu asked lightly.

"Not yet."

Xu Chaomu fell silent again. What would happen if Bai Xuan knew he had another daughter?

"Shen Chi, it turns out I really am an illegitimate daughter..." Xu Chaomu looked down, her hands tightly clutching the report.

Shen Chi held Xiaobao with one arm and grabbed her hand with the other.

"No, you’re Mrs. Shen; the Bai Family doesn’t deserve you," Shen Chi said firmly.

He could give her limitless glory if that was what she wanted.

Xu Chaomu leaned on his shoulder, tightly wrapping her arms around Shen Chi’s, wanting to say something but she hesitated and didn’t speak.

"Baby hungry..." Xiaobao was unhappy now, wondering why the two adults were ignoring him.

Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu then realized, as Xiaobao unhappily called out again, "Hungry..."

Shen Chi patted his little head, smiling, "Daddy will take you to eat."

With that, he carried Xiaobao in one arm and took Xu Chaomu’s hand as they entered the living room.

The butler, Ling, who was tidying up the living room, saw this scene and smiled softly, her heart filled with indescribable joy.

Xu Chaomu put away the report and, after thinking for a moment, said seriously to Shen Chi, "I will meet Bai Xuan tomorrow."

"Have you thought it through?"

"Yes."

"Then okay, I’ll arrange it."

"I better take advantage of my courage while I still have it," Xu Chaomu said casually.

"It’s not like I haven’t told you, there’s nothing your husband can’t handle."

"You always seize every opportunity to brag about yourself," Xu Chaomu snorted coldly.

"It’s not bragging, it’s a fact."

"Meat, meat..." Xiaobao pointed at the braised pork for a long time, but no one paid attention to him.

"Shen Chi, I really don’t want to have anything to do with Bai Man, you know? I really dislike her," Xu Chaomu’s emotions fluctuated somewhat.

"I know, I know all about it. Do you think I like her?"

"I almost couldn’t stop myself from kicking both of you back then, flaunting your affection in front of me," Xu Chaomu huffed.

"Really?" Shen Chi didn’t feel that way, "I’ve always been very polite to her, not showing the kind of affection you’re talking about."

"Is that so?"

"Meat, meat..." Xiaobao shouted angrily again.

What are these two talking about, and why are they ignoring Baba? Baba is getting angry!

"Why didn’t you kick me back then?" Shen Chi asked with a laugh.

"I couldn’t kick you," Xu Chaomu pursed her lips.

"Meat...hungry..." Xiaobao was very anxious.

At this moment, Xu Chaomu finally realized, and she hurriedly picked up Xiaobao: "Which one does Baba want to eat?"

Xiaobao had been pointing all along, and finally, Mama responded, which annoyed him.

Shen Chi fed him a small piece of meat, and Xiaobao was finally satisfied, though he pursed his lips and gave them an unhappy glance.

These past few days, Shen Chi had been staying at home with Xu Chaomu and Xiaobao. This kind of life was probably what he wanted the most.

After Xiao Mo came back, he left the corporate matters to Xiao Mo, only making time to visit the company once in a while.

Between being a competent CEO and a competent husband, he had chosen to be a competent husband for the moment.

Having been separated for so long, to reunite was a stroke of luck.

That night, Xiaobao refused to leave Xu Chaomu’s embrace and insisted on sleeping with her.

Shen Chi wished he could pick him up and toss him out, but Xiaobao wouldn’t have it; he still wanted Xu Chaomu.

With no other choice, Shen Chi had to let the little guy sleep with them.

After the lights were turned off at night, and Xiaobao had fallen asleep in his crib, Shen Chi wrapped his hand around Xu Chaomu’s waist.

"Don’t move around, Xiaobao is here."

"He’s asleep."

"Even if he’s asleep, he’s still here."

"What if he clings to you every day..."

"Are you blaming me?" Xu Chaomu looked innocent.

"As if I’m the one to blame," Shen Chi was quite frustrated.

In the darkness, Xu Chaomu secretly laughed twice but didn’t make a sound.

She brushed away Shen Chi’s hand and closed her eyes: "Go to sleep, don’t fidget."

Shen Chi had no choice but to sleep as well, for in the morning, he still had to accompany Xu Chaomu to meet Bai Xuan.

...

The next day, after breakfast, Xu Chaomu tidied up a bit.

Shen Chi personally drove her to the Bai Family’s old mansion. During the journey, he could see her nervousness and anxiety.

Her gaze stayed fixed on the outside of the window, and with each stretch the car moved forward, her unease increased.

When they came to a red light, Shen Chi held her hand and gave her an encouraging look.

"Will Bai Xuan tell me the truth?" Xu Chaomu asked apprehensively.

"I think he will," Shen Chi said.

"Actually, what I really want to ask him is, why he never came looking for my mom..." Xu Chaomu lowered her head.

"Ask whatever you want to ask, don’t keep it inside."
