Chapter 1312: Chapter 1312: Xu Chaomu is Always Number One

Shen Chi raised his eyes, a deep meaning clearly visible in them, "The things Shen Shihan has done would indeed merit criminal punishment; it’s just that he never thought he would lose."

"Yes, so I think that compared to you, Vice President Shen and President Shen, he lacks a heart," Xiao Mo said.

Shen Chi did not respond, instead sending a text message to Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu was confused, what did this mean? Why suddenly send something to Shen Shihan? Was there another conflict between them?

But Xu Chaomu had promised Mo Shuifu not to tell Shen Shihan.

She replied to Shen Chi with a text message: "But I promised Shui Fu to let her tell Third Brother on her own."

"Then are you going to listen to me?" Shen Chi replied.

"I’ll listen to you... but... it’s not very nice to break a promise."

"I’m doing it for his own good."

"Don’t... don’t try to coax me."

"I’ll explain when I get back, if you trust me just send it," Shen Chi said.

"You’re taking advantage of my kindness."

"Right, I’m also taking advantage of your naivety," Shen Chi retorted teasingly.

"..." Xu Chaomu sent him an "eye roll" emoji.

Although Xu Chaomu was aware that breaking a promise was disgraceful, she always listened to Shen Chi, and she knew Shen Shihan had always opposed Shen Chi.

There must have been some bottleneck, otherwise, Shen Chi wouldn’t have had her disclose this matter to Shen Shihan.

Xu Chaomu sent the text message and then called Shen Chi: "I sent it."

"Mhm, good girl," Shen Chi smiled indulgently.

"How are you going to repay me?" Xu Chaomu pursed her lips, "I’ve become a person who doesn’t keep promises now."

"How do you want me to repay you? Are we keeping things that separate between husband and wife?"

"Are you going to do something bad and drag me into it?"

"Right, your husband has racked up a lot of debt and then used your name before fleeing," Shen Chi joked.

"Why don’t you say soliciting prostitution then!"

"..." Shen Chi twitched his lips, "Mind your language."

Xu Chaomu looked at her belly, sticking out her tongue: "Oh, mind the language."

If what was in her belly turned out to be a boy, then fine. But if it was a girl, it would be terrible, possibly turning out to be a little hooligan.

Meanwhile, Xiao Mo, hearing their conversation, smiled with a subtle lift of his lips.

"By the way, where are you? What time is it there?" Xu Chaomu asked.

Ever since she arrived in the Maldives, she had lost track of Shen Chi’s whereabouts.

"It’s eight in the morning here, as for where, you can guess," Shen Chi didn’t tell her the truth.

For this matter, he had already told her countless lies; slowly, these lies had woven a vast net, only when this matter was completely resolved could he tell her the truth.

By then, he would definitely be scolded by her.

"Shen Chi, are you hiding something from me?" Xu Chaomu suddenly expressed worry.

"Dare I hide anything from you?"

"Really? I think you dare..."

"Xiao Mo is here, let’s stop talking, I have to hang up," Shen Chi found an excuse and hung up the phone.

Xiao Mo’s lips twitched, feeling like he’d metaphorically been shot in the knee.

"Chaomu is really clingy to you," Xiao Mo observed.

"It’s not clinginess, it’s anxiety," Shen Chi sighed, "I’m the one who wronged her first."

"She really trusts you."

Shen Chi nodded, he was all too aware; fortunately, he had no malicious intentions, otherwise, with her trust, he could sell her out and she would still be counting the money for him.

Shen Chi continued playing the video, now it was nearly one o’clock at night!

"President Shen, Vice President Shen hasn’t checked his phone," Xiao Mo frowned as he reminded him.

"Actually, even if he knows about it, what would it change? The goods are practically in his hands; the hot potato has to be caught. Also, Shen Shihan is proud; he’s sure he will win, so he wouldn’t give up just because Mo Shuifu is pregnant."

"That’s the biggest difference between Vice President Shen and you," Xiao Mo smiled.

"You had to point that out," Shen Chi glanced at him.

But Xiao Mo was right; he was not Shen Shihan, even with huge profits or great confidence, he wouldn’t do something that takes no account of his family.

Career is not his everything; Xu Chaomu and the child are.

Xiao Mo smiled and remained silent.

He knew that in Shen Chi’s heart, Xu Chaomu was always the first.

They had experienced life and death together, crossed past hatreds, what else could they not face together?

So... sometimes Xiao Mo felt envious of Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu, having that one person to be with through life and death till old age.

He thought, perhaps he might never meet such a person in his entire life again.

Xiaoteng kept sending messages: "President Shen, Vice President Xiao, are we really not making a move? They don’t know what they are waiting for, and if they leave, all would be in vain."

Shen Chi did not speak, instead casually opening the car window and lighting up a cigarette.

Xiao Mo replied, "If you feel you can’t wait any longer, then just go back."

Xiao Mo was serious, not joking. However, Xiaoteng and the others were scared, thinking Shen Chi and Xiao Mo were angry, and so they fell silent again.

They were anxiously waiting on the spot, but Shen Chi and Xiao Mo were in no hurry.

"If there’s anything you want to talk about, including life and emotions, you can tell me," Shen Chi squinted his eyes, looking at Xiao Mo, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"President Shen, are you turning into a heartfelt big brother?"

"Being your big brother, am I not more than qualified?" Shen Chi curled his lips, his face carrying a slightly wicked smile.

"Qualified as a big brother, but not intimate enough," Xiao Mo laughed.

"It seems you have nothing you want to talk about, so let’s drop it, I won’t force you. But, Xiao Mo, isn’t your family anxious to hold a grandchild?" Shen Chi gave him a meaningful look.

Xiao Mo knew Xu Chaomu’s thoughts well; Shen Chi had seen through them long ago, though he had never pointed them out.

He thought, not only now, but in the future as well, he would never point them out, they would still remain best brothers.

"This kind of thing can’t be rushed; if President Shen feels charitable, you could lend Xiaobao to me to take home for a few days," Xiao Mo joked.

"I don’t mind, Chaomu doesn’t mind either, but I’m afraid your parents would be more stimulated after seeing him. If I remember correctly, you are the only child in your family, aren’t you?"

"President Shen, how come you sound almost like a neighborhood committee auntie now?"

"If you think I’m nagging, then fine, I’ll stop."

"President Shen, when are you and Chaomu getting married?" Xiao Mo asked.

"After this matter is settled," Shen Chi replied.

"Yes, if Vice President Shen could turn back, I think it would be okay to invite him over; after all, he’s still family," Xiao Mo suggested.

"Unlikely," a deep expression crossed Shen Chi’s eyes.
