Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: Definitely Can’t Get Out of Bed

"Do you know what tomorrow is?" Shen Chi put Wealth down and asked quietly close to her ear.

"What day?" Xu Chaomu couldn’t remember.

"It really is ’pregnancy makes you dumb for three years.’" Shen Chi poked her forehead. "Don’t you remember tomorrow is Valentine’s Day?"

"Valentine’s Day, huh..." Xu Chaomu laughed foolishly, "I’ve never celebrated it before."

That was indeed true, she had grown up so much, even had a kid, yet she had never celebrated Valentine’s Day.

"What a coincidence, I’ve never celebrated it either," Shen Chi said. "How about, my beauty, we celebrate it together?"

"That’s such a coincidence, you haven’t either? Then let’s celebrate it together."

Shen Chi smiled, and so did Xu Chaomu. She poked him, "Childish."

In the past, this man had always seemed so lofty, she had thought he was too good for this world. Later, she discovered he also had a fun side, sometimes acting as childish as a little kid.

"I’ve reserved a spot at the western restaurant for tomorrow, I’m taking the day off work to be with you," Shen Chi said.

"Don’t... you’re already so busy with work, if you miss a day, you will have to make it up later by working overtime. It’s enough if you just spend tomorrow night with me, not the whole day."

"Since when have you become so understanding?" Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.

"I’m worried... worried that you frequently having overtime work will leave you exhausted when you come home at night?" Xu Chaomu also looked at him provocatively.

"You’ve seen your husband’s capabilities, haven’t you? Discussing this with me, are you tired of living?"

"Let’s not talk about this anymore, go cook, I want to eat your cooking."

"Let’s cook together." Shen Chi grabbed her hand and dragged her into the kitchen.

Xiaobao in the room was feeling bored, silently playing with puzzles and throwing them around.

His mom wasn’t paying attention to him, nor his dad, nobody cared about him, he was an unloved baby.

Ever since his mom brought him to the new house, she had barely spent time with him, always with dad, not even sleeping together anymore.

Suddenly, he really hated his dad, why did he have to compete with him for his mom?

He hated it so much...

So, the more Xiaobao thought about it, the sadder he became, and he started to cry.

His crying was loud, and Wealth heard it first, barked a few times, then Xu Chaomu heard it too.

Just as the food was ready, Xu Chaomu picked him up to eat.

She soothed Xiaobao for a long time, but Xiaobao couldn’t stop crying.

"Baby, baby, what’s wrong? Are you hungry?" Xu Chaomu lost her appetite too.

"Wuu..." Xiaobao cried heartbreakingly.

"What’s wrong? Let me hold you." Shen Chi walked over with a frown.

"Ah, you hold him, my heart is so tired, every time he cries, it lasts so long." Xu Chaomu held her forehead.

Xiaobao cried even harder and reached out to Xu Chaomu, "Mommy... hold..."

"Mommy has been packing all day today, daddy holding you is the same," Shen Chi coaxed.

"Don’t want, Uncle Four..." Xiaobao grabbed Shen Chi and pushed him away.

Instantly, both Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi froze, Xu Chaomu even widened her eyes, looking nervous like a child who had done something wrong!

She thought Shen Chi hadn’t heard clearly, quickly picked up Xiaobao and changed the subject: "Xiaobao, mommy will feed you, I made a lot of dishes tonight, including your favorites. Baby, don’t cry..."

Shen Chi was seething with rage, gritting his teeth.

He heard it, how could he not have heard!

Uncle Four?!

He yelled at her, "Xu Chaomu!"

Uh... Xu Chaomu’s legs went weak with fear, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hehe." She forced a smile and pulled out a chair for him, "Sit down and eat, try the stir-fried green beans I made first."

Shen Chi slammed down on the table hard and pointed to the seat beside him, "Sit the fuck down!"

Xiaobao was startled, quivering in his chair, not daring to cry anymore.

Xiaobao shrank back into his chair, terrified.

Xu Chaomu pursed her lips and didn’t dare to sit beside Shen Chi; she reluctantly sat down across from him.

The atmosphere in the living room was very cold, especially the temperature around Xu Chaomu, which had suddenly dropped.

Xiaobao also didn’t dare to make a sound, he blinked his eyes, wondering if he had done something wrong, his father looked so angry. Xu Chaomu dared not make a sound either, she bit on her chopsticks without reaching for the dishes.

At that moment, Shen Chi was like the head of the household, stern and indifferent.

"Did you teach him?" Shen Chi asked in a deep voice.

"W-what..." Xu Chaomu stammered, unwilling to meet Shen Chi’s gaze.

She hadn’t felt this kind of icy stare for eight hundred years, and now suddenly feeling it again, she shivered as if she were in an ice cellar.

"Uncle Wealth?" Shen Chi scoffed coldly.

"..." Xu Chaomu knew it.

When he upset her, she had privately taught Xiaobao to say it, but it seemed Xiaobao hadn’t learned it; however, the kid had just blurted it out at the worst moment.

Crafty Xiaobao.

"Be honest, did you teach him that?" Shen Chi demanded.

Xu Chaomu bit her chopsticks, kept silent, playing dead.

"Not willing to admit it? Alright, I have a hundred ways to make you confess." Shen Chi spoke lightly, but his eyes gleamed with a predatory light.

"You’re bullying me..." Xu Chaomu muttered.

"Who’s bullying whom?" Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.

"You’re bullying me because I have no family to go to." Xu Chaomu bit her lip, "I can only be bullied by you, jerk."

"Just admit it honestly, who taught the little guy to call ’Uncle Wealth’?" Shen Chi was livid, the consequences severe.

Some things could be tolerated, this couldn’t!

"How would I know? Who am I supposed to ask? It’s probably some ill-intentioned maid who taught him, or maybe Xiaobao learned it on his own..."

As she spoke, Xu Chaomu’s voice trailed off, even she felt it was far-fetched.

But Xu Chaomu wouldn’t admit it; if she did, she definitely wouldn’t be able to leave the bed tomorrow. No, not just tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, nor the day after that.

"Fine, let’s eat first." Shen Chi rolled up his sleeves, no longer arguing with her, "I’ll give you the time of a meal to think it over; if you admit it honestly, I’ll be gentler tonight."

"You’re bullying me again, I just got back today and you’re already bullying me," Xu Chaomu mumbled, "Bullying me because I have no family to go to, how can you be like this... When I have money, I’ll buy my own house and move out..."

"What are you muttering? Let’s see who dares sell a house to you in C City."

"..." Xu Chaomu supported her forehead.

Xiaobao, acting as if nothing had happened, shrank back in his chair, not daring to cry anymore.

Even though his dad was usually good to him, his dad was so scary when he got angry...

Xiaobao was afraid to cry; had he done something wrong...

After the meal, Shen Chi picked up Xiaobao, coaxing and threatening, "Say something."

Xiaobao opened his big eyes wide, blinked, and in a milky voice said, "Daddy."

After saying it, he coquettishly rubbed against Shen Chi, his little hands scratching Shen Chi’s neck, both soft and adorable.

Shen Chi’s heart melted, and he kissed Xiaobao on the cheek.
