Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: Baby’s Heartbeat

"I forgot, it was my rash personality before that made you unhappy, don’t mind it." Yu Weiwei took the initiative to admit her mistake.

Since Li’s mother is an elder, and she is now willing to admit her faults too, she also needed to let go of her pride.

"It’s okay, it’s okay. Beiting sometimes acts childishly and can be impulsive, making you worry."

"He is really good, very family-oriented, seldom goes out for social gatherings, and treats Xiaobao very well, often taking us out for fun."

"Seeing you both happy reassures me. Beiting’s dad actually can’t let go of his son deep down, although the son was a bit mischievous when he was little, Beiting has always been his dad’s pride."

"Beiting also often tells me that he misses you all, and that you have always treated him well, sometimes feeling he hasn’t reciprocated enough," said Yu Weiwei.

"Let’s not bring up the past, seeing you happy now is what’s best." Li’s mother sighed, "I really like Xiaobao."

Yu Weiwei also smiled, "The little guy didn’t cry much today, but actually, he cries a lot at home."

"Really?"

Li’s mother and Yu Weiwei talked while walking, and occasionally saw other people out for a stroll.

The weather was very warm today, almost windless in the evening, making the walk especially comfortable.

When they reached a mansion, Li’s mother pointed it out, laughing, "This is the Shen Family, Shen Chi and Beiting have been close since childhood."

"Chaomu and I are also close," Yu Weiwei smiled.

"Yes, I know," said Li’s mother, "That girl is quite unforgiving. When she was little, Beiting even brought her over to play at our house, but she always preferred playing with Shen Chi."

"Yes, she liked Shen Chi from a young age," said Yu Weiwei.

"Shen Chi didn’t often play with girls, but he made an exception for Chaomu, always treating her like a real sister," Li’s mother laughed.

"Not like a real sister, more like protecting her as if she were his child bride," Yu Weiwei laughed, "I’ll go call her out, she’s definitely at home."

"Okay," Li’s mother agreed.

Yu Weiwei went to the Shen Family, and the butler recognized her, enthusiastically calling Chaomu out.

Chaomu was sitting on the sofa, daydreaming, actually thinking about someone.

When she heard Yu Weiwei had come, she stood up and walked outside.

Apparently, Yu Weiwei and Li’s mother had reconciled, and seeing Yu Weiwei arm in arm with Li’s mother, she was inexplicably moved.

Yu Weiwei and Li’s mother could reconcile, but she and Zhou Ran probably never would.

She had already taken a huge step back, but she couldn’t manage to smile at Zhou Ran.

She might never have Yu Weiwei’s luck, but she would still try her best to protect her own happiness. Perhaps, she had already used all her luck to meet Shen Chi.

"Chaomu, my mom and I were just talking about you, about when you used to climb walls as a child," Yu Weiwei laughed.

"I never climbed walls, I was very polite and obedient as a child," Chaomu wouldn’t admit.

"Yes, right, Shen Chi would tell you to go east, and you wouldn’t dare go west," Li’s mother laughed.

"..." Chaomu scratched her head, "I... I was just respecting him."

"You used to get scolded by Shen Chi quite a bit, right? Now you can have your revenge," Li’s mother teased Chaomu.

Err... Chaomu thought to herself, she wouldn’t dare to bully Shen Chi, although he wouldn’t say anything, but, but it would make her stay in bed for several days!

"Chaomu, how about Xiaobao? Is he asleep? Come walk with us," Yu Weiwei invited.

"Yes, he fell asleep, he was fussing and calling for his dad today."

"His dad?" Yu Weiwei asked.

"He’s been on a business trip, for several days now, probably coming back soon."

Xu Chaomu originally planned to give Shen Chi a call, but figured he might be resting by the time she got back.

"Men always have it tough," said Li’s mother.

Xu Chaomu nodded, still somewhat worried.

She walked with Yu Weiwei and Li’s mother along the small paths in the villa district, and when they reached the pond, they sat in the pavilion for a while, watching the shimmering moonlight on the water.

Seeing Yu Weiwei getting along with the Li family made her feel relieved.

However, gazing at the moon, she couldn’t help but think of Shen Chi.

Wondering what he was doing, who he was with, whether he was staying up late again...

Thinking about this, she lost much of her mood.

Just then, Li’s mother felt cold, and Yu Weiwei was thinking of going back to check on Xiaobao; their conversation hadn’t lasted long before everyone dispersed.

Xu Chaomu walked back to the Shen family home alone under the moonlight, her long shadow stretched by the streetlights, inevitably lonely and solitary.

She walked with her head down, stepping on her shadow, her little hand resting on her belly, feeling the baby’s heartbeat.

She counted the days; Shen Chi had been away for almost half a month.

She was still waiting for him to return, waiting to share the good news of her pregnancy with him. He had always wanted another child, and surely he would be thrilled.

By the time she got home, it was already 9 pm, she sent Shen Chi a text: Goodnight.

Shen Chi hadn’t gone to bed; he had just gone to the bathroom for a shower and saw the message at 9:30 pm. Not wanting to disturb her rest, he didn’t reply and silently sat back on the sofa to look at his laptop.

Xiao Mo had already sent all the plans to his computer, and these many days later, Shen Shihan still had not gone to the docks to ship the goods.

Shen Chi suspected that Shen Shihan might have learned something.

His brows furrowed slightly, pondering for a moment, he immediately sent Xiao Mo a line: Book tomorrow’s ticket, going back to the country.

Xiao Mo was taken aback at first, but then understood, replying: "Understood, do you need any coordination?"

"Get Ruan Hang to coordinate, to let everyone know I’m coming back."

"Mr. Shen, getting Ruan Hang to coordinate might be less effective than getting Mrs. Shen to do it," Xiao Mo responded.

Shen Chi’s fingers paused, Xu Chaomu coordinating?

Xiao Mo was right; having Xu Chaomu coordinate would be more convincing. Surely Shen Shihan had sent someone to spy around the Shen family’s vicinity, knowing he hadn’t returned must be the reason why Shen Shihan had been holding off on shipping.

"She’s so naive," Shen Chi typed.

Even so, a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Mo also smiled, replying: "You could teach her."

"Come to my room for a while."

"Okay."

Xiao Mo soon arrived at Shen Chi’s suite, and as he entered, he joked: "Mr. Shen, are you not afraid that I’ll screenshot this conversation and show it to Mrs. Shen later?"

"Work confidentiality, if you dare leak it, don’t think about returning to Shen’s either."

"Really? This counts as work confidentiality?"

"Enough chit-chat, sit down. Let’s talk," Shen Chi was in a fairly good mood today.

"Mr. Shen, you and I are on the same page. I also believe that after so many days of surveillance and no movements from Deputy Director Shen, he must be suspicious and not daring to make a move."
