Chapter 1306: Chapter 1306: He Watched Her Grow Up

Xiao Mo didn’t say anything, just shook his head and spoke indifferently, "A man’s ambition can never be satisfied."

After finishing his words, Xiao Mo went to his own room to answer a call from his subordinate.

Shen Chi remained silent, standing in front of the fence outside the manor, quietly lit a cigarette. His brows were furrowed, his gaze deep.

Xu Chaomu arrived in the Maldives after a nap, the plane had already landed, but she slept on in a daze, seemingly waking up for a moment, but had forgotten it.

"Madam Fourth Young Master," a bodyguard accompanying her woke her up.

"Hm? Are we here?" Xu Chaomu rubbed her eyes.

"Yes."

In an instant, Xu Chaomu was overjoyed, dancing with excitement. She threw off the blanket covering her and dug out her cellphone from her bag, wanting to call Shen Chi.

While walking out, she searched for Shen Chi’s number, though she knew that he must be waiting for her outside the plane!

But her heart was so thrilled that she couldn’t wait to hear his voice.

The baby inside her belly had been very cooperative, not causing any trouble the whole trip, allowing her to sleep peacefully.

However, after calling several times, no one picked up.

The wind in the Maldives carried a hint of moisture as it blew against her. She lifted her head to glance at the distance; the crowd had thinned out slowly, leaving only her alone.

A sense of letdown filled her heart, and for a moment, she felt disappointed.

"Madam Fourth Young Master!" The bodyguard caught up to her, "The car is outside the airport, let’s go."

"Didn’t he come?" Xu Chaomu asked with disappointment.

"The Fourth Young Master was called away by a client at the last minute, he couldn’t come to pick you up. Sorry."

"Oh," Xu Chaomu nodded, "It’s fine, let’s go."

"Okay!"

Soon, Shen Chi’s men arranged for Xu Chaomu to stay in a garden villa with beautiful scenery, where even the sky was clean and pure.

Upon her arrival, Shen Chi’s men secured the place flawlessly.

Shen Chi had instructed them to ensure the absolute safety of Madam Fourth Young Master!

Xu Chaomu called Shen Chi again, still no answer.

She sat silently by the window, gazing at the sky outside.

She had come, but what about him?

Having slept quite a bit on the flight, Xu Chaomu wasn’t sleepy at all. She just stared at the phone screen, waiting for Shen Chi to return her call.

It was nighttime in the Maldives now, and the villa was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that you could hear the low buzzing of insects in the grass.

Xu Chaomu lowered her eyelids, still waiting.

It had been an hour since Xu Chaomu called him when Shen Chi saw his phone. He had just personally visited a black-market drug deal.

He hurriedly called Xu Chaomu back: "Mumu."

"Where are you? They said you were pulled away by a client, did you drink again?" Xu Chaomu asked caringly, "It’s quite cold at night, should I send someone to pick you up?"

"I’m fine, you don’t need to wait for me, go to sleep."

"I slept all the way on the plane, I can’t sleep now, I’m waiting for you."

"Don’t wait for me, I got a call suddenly, I might not be going back for a while."

Xu Chaomu felt increasingly desolate, he had asked her to come over... and now he was telling her that he wouldn’t be back for a while?

But she didn’t say anything, her voice slightly hoarse, "Oh, then you stay busy."

With that, she hung up the phone.

"Mumu!" Shen Chi called out, but the call had already been disconnected.

He knew, she must be very disappointed, traveling all the way to the Maldives filled with joy, just to vacation with him, and yet, he had no way to join her.

Once this matter was settled, he would definitely take her to many countries to explore, and it would be a good time to get the wedding done as well.

Shen Chi made another call to his subordinate and instructed, "Keep a close watch on the young madam, don’t let her leave the villa, and make sure nobody knows where she is."

"Yes."

"Cut off the communication devices surrounding the villa, she can only call me."

"Understood, clear."

After arranging everything, Shen Chi finally felt at ease.

Actually, having her come to the Maldives was also for the best. If she stayed in the country, he would have been more distracted. After all, Shen Shihan’s influence was much stronger domestically than in the Maldives.

After hanging up the call, Xu Chaomu’s eyes were filled with disappointment and grievance. She held back her tears from falling, and silently stood up to pack her luggage.

"Young Madam, let me help you," a servant in the villa quickly came over.

"No need, all of you please leave," Xu Chaomu said weakly.

After sending everyone in the living room away, she squatted on the floor alone, picking things up.

In her imagination, he would definitely come to pick her up at the airport, then she would give him a big hug, and on the way, she would tell him that she was actually pregnant...

But an expectation is just an expectation, she told herself faintly four words: It’s not realistic.

All night, Xu Chaomu lay in bed, tossing and turning, and staring blankly at the ceiling. In a foreign land, she still felt a bit uncomfortable; in truth, she really wanted to talk to him.

Shen Chi was also sleepless all night. The next morning, he calculated the time and made a call to her.

"Mumu, I’m sorry, there was a sudden business deal to negotiate, I booked a flight to another country last night in a hurry, I’m afraid I can’t make it back for now," Shen Chi told a lie.

"Oh, business is important," Xu Chaomu replied indifferently.

She sat on the balcony, drinking milk tea, quietly observing the scenery outside the window.

"Because this deal is quite urgent, I hadn’t anticipated that it would require me to go personally at this time," Shen Chi tried to ease her worries a little.

"It’s okay, I’ll wait for you to come back."

"Are you angry? When I come back, I’ll bring you a gift, you’ll definitely like it."

"I’m not angry."

Shen Chi was silent for a while; he knew she was clearly angry. If she wasn’t, she wouldn’t reply to him so succinctly and coldly.

He had watched her grow up; how could he not understand her?

But right now, he couldn’t do anything. If he told her the truth, it would only make her more worried, so... let her hate him for a while.

After this was over, he would definitely make a sincere apology to her.

"Take care of yourself, don’t work too late, and drink less alcohol," Xu Chaomu softly reminded him.

"I know," Shen Chi still wanted to talk more with her, "I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry for this time, I didn’t know this business would come up so suddenly."

"It’s okay, I’m not a child, of course, I understand business is important," Xu Chaomu said, "you don’t need to worry about me, the villa here is quite nice."

"Are you really not angry?"

"Mhm."

"Then open the video," Shen Chi coaxed.

"The camera got water in it yesterday," Xu Chaomu said indifferently.

"There are other phones in the villa."

"Can’t be bothered to walk over and get it," Xu Chaomu refused.

"So, you are angry then? Alright, don’t be angry, you should know that in your husband’s heart, you are always the most important," Shen Chi coaxed her like a child.
