Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291 President Shen has a strong desire for control

Xu Chaomu didn’t tell anyone about the baby just yet, fearing the same incident as Xiaobao’s in the past.

A few days later, she personally went to the hospital.

"Doctor, please check how the baby is doing," Xu Chaomu asked anxiously.

The doctor adjusted his glasses and kindly said, "No problem, the baby is healthy and is already a month and a half old."

Uh... a month and a half? Xu Chaomu thought it must have been that time in the bathroom with Shen Chi.

Thinking of this, her face turned red, and she withdrew her thoughts.

"Is there anything else I should be careful about?" Xu Chaomu asked.

"It’s your second child, no worries. Just be cautious about your diet and emotions, and exercise more. You probably have the experience already," the doctor said lightly.

"Well... doctor..." Xu Chaomu stammered, "I just found out a few days ago, but before that... I was with my husband..."

Xu Chaomu couldn’t finish her words and blushed.

The doctor, understanding the situation, smiled and said, "The baby is fine, but now that you know, you can’t be reckless anymore. Remind your husband to be more careful too, men should not be indulged."

"Mm-hmm, I understand," Xu Chaomu nodded repeatedly.

"Your husband didn’t accompany you here?"

"He’s on a business trip, I’ll bring him next time."

"Alright, remember to routinely come to the hospital for prenatal checkups."

The doctor advised Xu Chaomu a few more things before prescribing her some nutritional supplements and letting her go home.

As she walked out of the hospital, Xu Chaomu gently touched her flat abdomen and smiled brightly, brighter than the sun in the sky.

"Baby, you have to stay calmly in mommy’s belly and be good."

Xu Chaomu didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl, but she would find out in a few more months.

She calculated that her baby and Mo Shuifu’s baby were about the same age!

Two children of similar age playing together in the future would be lovely.

She also hoped that in the future, Chenglang’s family and theirs could live together peacefully. The past is the past, and as the party involved, she could let go, especially since she had a good relationship with Shuifu.

After returning from the hospital, Xiaobao clung to her, insisting that she play with him.

Because she was pregnant, Xu Chaomu didn’t dare to play too wildly with Xiaobao, so she just casually played some small games with him.

However, not long after they started playing, she received an unexpected call.

"Is this Xu Chaomu?" It was a woman, her voice low but stern.

"Yes, that’s me." Xu Chaomu couldn’t recall who it was at the moment.

"I am Chenglang’s mother, I believe we’ve met before."

"Oh... so you’re Chenglang’s mom, what can I do for you?"

"I’d like to meet with you at a restaurant near Feili Group, I have things to discuss."

Since she was pregnant, Xu Chaomu definitely wouldn’t agree easily, and without much thought, she refused, "Whatever it is, you can say it over the phone, it’s all the same."

"I think it’s better if we meet in person. The restaurant is on the ground floor, in a bustling area, you don’t have to worry about anything."

Indeed, the old ginger is still more pungent, Lu Feili saw through Xu Chaomu’s hesitation straight away.

After a brief moment of consideration, Xu Chaomu nodded, "Okay, I’ll be there."

As she entered the restaurant, she saw Lu Feili.

This woman was still dazzling, capable and exquisite, and compared to the people around her, she appeared much more mature and composed. Sitting in the restaurant, she was like a cold and elegant plum blossom, out of place with her surroundings.

Lu Feili ordered some Western desserts and sat quietly by herself.

"Hello, Director Lu," Xu Chaomu approached her.

Lu Feili looked up, having not seen this woman for almost two years, and Xu Chaomu seemed very different from the last time they met, now appearing confident and no longer showing any signs of pettiness.

"Sit," Lu Feili motioned to the seat opposite her.

After Xu Chaomu sat down, she spoke directly, "Director Lu, did you want to say something to me?"

"Don’t be afraid, I’m not as scary as you think," Lu Feili said.

Xu Chaomu smiled lightly, without objecting.

"Do you still have dealings with Chenglang?" Lu Feili asked casually with a detached tone.

"We are still friends, but we rarely meet now. I know Director Lu wouldn’t like me keeping in touch with Chenglang. Coincidentally, my husband also doesn’t like me interacting with other men."

"Mr. Shen is very controlling."

"But not as much as Director Lu," Xu Chaomu responded calmly.

Lu Feili felt unpleasant inside. This young girl really relied on having Shen Chi to back her up, speaking disrespectfully.

"No wonder someone like Mr. Shen would like you; you indeed have qualities that appeal to him, both courage and wisdom."

Xu Chaomu was aware that Lu Feili was being sarcastic, but she just smiled lightly, "Director Lu, you didn’t invite me here just to reminisce, did you? Besides, there’s not much to reminisce about between us. Chenglang and I have always been just friends. The engagement was a misunderstanding from the start..."

"You may see it as a misunderstanding, but Chenglang saw it as love," Lu Feili said, "He still can’t let go of you."

"There will come a day when he will let go."

Xu Chaomu knew Chenglang was persistent.

But marrying Shen Chi meant she couldn’t be with him. Moreover, from the beginning, Nie Chenglang knew that her heart always belonged to one person, Shen Chi.

"You seem very nonchalant about it," Lu Feili remarked.

"Aren’t you always the one who didn’t want me and Chenglang together? Just as you wished," Xu Chaomu said. "However, Chenglang doesn’t like Qi Na either. Don’t try to matchmake them, Qi Na and Chenglang aren’t suitable."

"I won’t interfere with his love life anymore, but you should also try not to appear in front of him from now on."

"I understand," Xu Chaomu said.

"Have some dessert, I ordered it especially. The desserts here are quite unique, made by a special pastry chef from Italy." Lu Feili ate a small bite of tiramisu herself.

Xu Chaomu shook her head slightly, "No, thanks. I should head home early, my son is quite clingy."

In reality, she didn’t dare eat anything from Lu Feili, regardless of her intentions.

"Oh, right, I heard Mr. Shen is on a business trip," Lu Feili said nonchalantly, "When did he leave? You must find it quite dull then."

Xu Chaomu was no longer the naive young girl she used to be, her heart racing.

Lu Feili wouldn’t look for her without a reason, and it was unlikely just to talk about Nie Chenglang.

Could it be... she’s probing for Shen Chi’s itinerary?

Shen Chi had told her that this trip had to be kept confidential; she remained cautious.

Pretending to be nonchalant, Xu Chaomu switched the subject, "Why would I be bored? Children are quite a handful, I have to accompany him every day."

"What, his father doesn’t spend time with him?" Lu Feili asked casually.
