Chapter 1366: Chapter 1366: Mom, I Want to Buy...

Xu Chaomu gave him the address, thinking Shen Chi was going to give her money.

"If you don’t have the money, don’t buy it. Don’t spoil a boy," Shen Chi said.

"Ah?" Xu Chaomu didn’t expect Shen Chi to be even harsher than her, she looked at Xiaobao’s eager face, "Okay, then we won’t buy it."

Xiaobao heard this, and he jumped up trying to grab Xu Chaomu’s phone, but he couldn’t reach it, so he could only hug Xu Chaomu’s leg: "Mommy, I want to buy it..."

Just like kids his age, Xiaobao sometimes is especially disobedient.

Xu Chaomu glanced at him and said: "We’re not buying it, let’s go home."

Xiaobao burst into tears, "Mommy is stingy, mommy is stingy... I want, I want..."

The sales Miss came over and said, "Madam, it’s not that expensive, the child is still so young, please buy it for him."

Xiaobao refused to leave, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

This was the first time Xu Chaomu had seen Xiaobao being so disobedient, she said angrily, "Come here! If you don’t come over, I am going to leave you here!"

In the end, Xiaobao couldn’t out-stubborn Xu Chaomu, and was dragged onto the car by her.

Because of this matter, Xiaobao didn’t talk to Xu Chaomu for the whole evening, he held grudges just like Shen Chi.

At night, Xiaobao lay alone on the wool blanket quietly playing with his toys.

Shen Chi walked over, bent down, and touched his fuzzy little head: "What are you thinking about?"

Xiaobao didn’t speak, ignoring Shen Chi, even deliberately turning his head away.

"Hmm... do you really want that toy?" Shen Chi asked.

Xiaobao still pouted, saying nothing.

"How about this, if you can seriously write all the words on this page, daddy will buy it for you," Shen Chi tossed a calligraphy book to him.

Xiaobao looked at it, the difficulty was too high, he fell silent.

"You should know that nobody can get something for nothing without putting in effort, the money that mom and dad make is also hard-earned, understand?" Shen Chi patiently taught him, "In the future, if you want something, you’ll have to show your effort and diligence to dad, how’s that?"

Shen Chi spoke to Xiaobao in a conversational tone, not from a position of superiority.

In his eyes, although Xiaobao was young, he deserved respect too.

Xiaobao seemed to understand, his big eyes shining with clarity.

Xu Chaomu just happened to walk by, she smiled.

It had to be said, Shen Chi had a charm that could attract her for a lifetime.

"If you think daddy’s idea is good, take it and write, whenever you finish, daddy will buy it for you," Shen Chi advised earnestly, "If dad thinks you’ve written it beautifully, there might even be additional rewards."

Xiaobao thought for a moment, and felt it wasn’t bad...

But there were so many words on one page, he didn’t know how to write them.

Xiaobao pointed at the calligraphy book: "I don’t recognize them..."

"If you don’t recognize them, let mommy teach you. But remember, be good when you ask anyone for help, okay?" Shen Chi touched his head.

"I got it..." Xiaobao nodded obediently.

Xiaobao felt the idea was pretty good; he could buy the toy after he finished writing.

"Mmm, take it," Shen Chi stuffed the calligraphy book into Xiaobao’s hands.

Xiaobao stopped playing and immediately scampered to the small table and sat properly.

Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu went out, gently closing the door behind Xiaobao.

Xu Chaomu looked at him, laughing and said: "I didn’t expect you to be so patient."

"Surprised?"

"Of course, when I was younger, why didn’t you have such patience? Every time I asked you a question, you said you had something to do, or to ask the teacher tomorrow."

"Are you sure you wanted to ask me a question back then?" Shen Chi countered, a meaningful smile playing at the corners of his lips.

Xu Chaomu fell silent; alright, alright, she didn’t care much for studying back then, and her asking him questions was purely... to get close to him, to sneakily rub against him, to steal a few more glances at him.

"What if I ask you a question now?" Xu Chaomu tilted her head and countered.

"I can..." Shen Chi wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing his face down, "teach you hands-on..."

His large hand glided gently down her spine.

He leaned close to her face, and just as he got about two centimeters away, he suddenly stopped, gazing into her eyes.

In her clear pupils, he saw his own reflection.

Xu Chaomu’s face heated up, and soon, her and Shen Chi’s fervent breaths intertwined...

"Daddy, this character has too many strokes." Xiaobao suddenly opened the door and called out.

"..." A look of frustration crossed Shen Chi’s face; he always forgot that there was a little guy at home.

The servants wouldn’t dare disturb him without his order, but this little guy was different.

Xu Chaomu quickly moved aside, keeping a certain distance from Shen Chi.

Shen Chi was infuriated, striding over and lifting Xiaobao by the collar, asking with a scowl, "Which character? Out with it!"

Xiaobao blinked his big, pitiful eyes. Wasn’t it him who said to ask if you don’t understand? Why is he so unhappy now, and looking so impatient...

"Well? Are you going to speak or not?" Shen Chi demanded, vexed.

"Hmph." Xiaobao huffed and pointed at a character in the calligraphy book.

"If it has many strokes, just write them down. If you can’t write, leave it, and ask the teacher tomorrow," Shen Chi said.

"Daddy, teach me to write." Xiaobao coaxed him, handing over the pen to Shen Chi.

Shen Chi had no way to refuse and, with a grim face, taught him how to write.

Xu Chaomu glanced over and quickly ran into the bedroom.

She would have to be more careful around Shen Chi in the future. You never knew when Xiaobao might pop up; it was just too embarrassing.

She took a bath in the bathroom, and after the bath, only then did she see Shen Chi coming in with a darkened face.

Her hair was already dry, and she couldn’t help but "pff" laugh out loud, looking at Shen Chi with a faint frown on his brow.

Shen Chi glanced at her coldly: "You’re laughing?"

"There’s nothing I can do about it, you’re the one who taught Xiaobao to ask if he doesn’t understand," Xu Chaomu said. "He’s quite a good learner, picked it up in no time."

"We’ll continue what we didn’t finish just now." Shen Chi pulled her forcefully into his arms.

"Ah!" Xu Chaomu laughed as she tumbled into his embrace, bumping against his chin.

Shen Chi looked down, his gaze landing on the neckline of her dress, his pulse racing, his heart skipping a beat.

Turning his head, he kissed her lips passionately, carrying her to the bed.

Xu Chaomu didn’t resist; she knew Shen Chi had his limits and nothing untoward would happen. Besides, she was a normal woman, and every time she was with Shen Chi, she always felt that initial flutter and heartbeat.

Their understanding of each other was also getting better...

"Shen Chi... Shen Chi..." Xu Chaomu softly and tenderly called his name, her eyes hazy.

He loved to hear the sound of her voice calling his name when she was moved.

They embraced tightly, feeling each other, sharing in this great pleasure and deep satisfaction.

After a while, he let her go, but his large hand was still entwined with her hair, gently caressing.
