Chapter 1381: Chapter 1381: Mom, I Want to Sleep with You

"Sis, you should try this pink one, it’ll look even prettier," Xu Chaomu picked one out for her.

Shen Chi was quite sincere, having several dresses custom-made, and they were all beautiful.

Upon hearing Xu Chaomu’s words, Shen Di tried on the pink mermaid dress.

"Gorgeous!" Xu Chaomu nodded repeatedly, the pink one complemented the skin tone better, and the dress was less rigid, making it look much more natural.

"Chaomu, you say I look good in anything I wear," Shen Di laughed.

"Yes, yes, sister is naturally beautiful, truly everything looks good on you, plus you have such a great figure, you’re like a clothes hanger."

"Chaomu, you’ve become more and more eloquent," Shen Di smiled.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but say, the Shen family’s genetics are indeed great.

"Sis, let me take a few photos of you," Xu Chaomu was particularly enthusiastic and started taking pictures of Shen Di with her phone.

Shen Di was quite happy, striking several poses, letting Xu Chaomu take a few shots.

"Big sister, have you taken your wedding photos yet?"

"Not yet, taking wedding photos is too tiring, Qin Chen said there’s no need for that, we’ll just hire a photographer to take a few shots in the dresses some other day."

"That’s true, taking wedding photos is exhausting," Xu Chaomu agreed.

Xu Chaomu hasn’t taken wedding photos herself yet, although it’s tiring she would really like to have a shoot with Shen Chi.

Speaking of which, she married Shen Chi, they have two babies, and yet they never had an engagement party, wedding banquet, wedding photos, or honeymoon trip; what a loss.

After trying on the dresses, Xu Chaomu went to have tea with Shen Di in the garden.

Shen Di said the engagement party needn’t be too grand, she told Shen Chi not to invite too many guests, so he only invited some relatives and friends, as well as the Shen family’s long-time acquaintances.

In the garden, Wealth silently squatted by Shen Di’s feet, basking in the sun.

Xiaobao didn’t have school today and was running around in the garden, finding it boring, he asked the butler Ling to take him to play with the neighbor Mrs. Qian’s Xiaobao.

"Chaomu, you and Achi must always be happy," Shen Di said with a smile.

"Sister, you too, you must be happy as well," Xu Chaomu responded.

Shen Di smiled without saying a word. The sunlight shone on her face, revealing her slender and delicate features, calm and gentle, yet lacking a bit of joy.

Shen Chi worked overtime that night and didn’t return until after 8 o’clock.

Wrapped in a blanket, Xu Chaomu was watching TV and waiting for him in the living room. The moment Shen Chi opened the door, Xu Chaomu jumped up: "You’re back!"

"Mm," Shen Chi curled the corners of his lips.

This girl waits for him every day. He said many times that she needn’t wait, but she never listens.

Yet he also enjoyed this kind of waiting, to come home each day and see her, it was such happiness. It’s as if he loses something when he doesn’t see her for a day.

"Did you work overtime today? I heard from Xiao Mo that several projects at the company are starting up. If you’re busy, you don’t have to come back to keep me company," Xu Chaomu said as she helped him take off his tie and jacket.

Shen Chi changed his shoes and said with a smile, "It’s not like I have to spend the whole night at the company."

"Husband, you’ve worked hard," said Xu Chaomu, "providing for me and the babies."

"I’m happy to," Shen Chi hugged her and kissed her cheek.

"Hey, you kissed me again, haven’t you eaten yet? I haven’t either."

Shen Chi frowned, "What time is it now and you still haven’t eaten? Don’t wait for me next time, eat on schedule."

"I can’t eat if I don’t see you."

"Such affectation," Shen Chi remarked.

Xu Chaomu laughed heartily, insisting on sitting down to eat with him.

They had been eating meals together for over a decade, and Xu Chaomu thought that she would never get tired of it, not even in another ten or twenty years. On the contrary, she’d probably cling to him even more as time went on.

Just as they were eating, Xiaobao opened the door to his bedroom, rubbed his eyes, and shouted downstairs, "Mommy, I can’t sleep."

Xiaobao had always been looked after by rotating servants, and sometimes Shen Chi would accompany him to sleep. As soon as Xiaobao said this, they both knew he wanted to sleep with Xu Chaomu.

In his arms, Xiaobao clutched a large rabbit and stood at the doorway, looking pitifully at Xu Chaomu.

"Why can’t you sleep?" Xu Chaomu glanced at him and asked.

"Just can’t sleep," Xiaobao mumbled.

"Tomorrow, I’ll ask your teacher to give you more homework, then you won’t be able to stay awake," Shen Chi said.

"Daddy’s mean!" Xiaobao dashed downstairs in a flash.

He hid behind Xu Chaomu, stroking her waist with the rabbit in his hand while coaxing, "Mommy, I want to sleep with you, Mommy, I want to sleep with you..."

"What’s a boy doing being so coy?" Shen Chi’s face hardened.

"Boys are humans too..." Xiaobao was unhappy now.

Shen Chi rubbed his forehead; Xiaobao really had a way with words— precocious, just like Xu Chaomu used to be.

"Alright, alright, sleep with Mommy," Xu Chaomu had to concede.

"Not allowed," Shen Chi frowned, thinking that Xiaobao was still little and that Xu Chaomu would definitely not sleep well if she had to take care of him at night.

Determined, Shen Chi walked over, grabbed Xiaobao’s clothes, and said harshly, "How many times have I said it? Mommy’s got a little baby now, you’re not allowed to pester her. Can’t you hear me? Go back to your room!"

Shen Chi directly carried Xiaobao back to his room without any mercy.

Xiaobao was really angry now, shouting "Daddy’s mean" before throwing the big rabbit out and slamming the door with a "bang."

"Husband, it’s fine to sleep for one night, Xiaobao hasn’t slept with me in a long time," Xu Chaomu missed the faint smell of milk from the little one, and she felt especially blessed when his soft little hands wrapped around her.

"No," Shen Chi firmly disagreed.

"Are you jealous?" Xu Chaomu laughed.

"Eat your food!" Shen Chi glared at her.

Xu Chaomu secretly found Shen Chi’s angry look especially amusing; his attitude towards Xiaobao now was exactly the same as it had once been towards her.

"By the way, husband, for my sister’s engagement party, did you invite Doctor Wen?" Xu Chaomu whispered.

"As a friend, of course, I’ll invite him," Shen Chi said indifferently.

"Is Doctor Wen coming then?"

"He’s on a business trip."

"Oh..." Xu Chaomu was not surprised at all. Whether it was a real business trip or not, she knew Wen Zhiyuan definitely wouldn’t come.

"Husband, are you disappointed with Doctor Wen?" Xu Chaomu asked.

For many years, Shen Chi always felt that Wen Zhiyuan had feelings for Shen Di, helping him overtly and covertly many times, but in the end, Wen Zhiyuan still didn’t end up with Shen Di, and hadn’t even taken a step forward.

"Everyone has their own choices," Shen Chi was quite calm, "I can’t control others; I just have to take care of myself. Just like I did, I never gave up on you."

"I know..." Xu Chaomu smiled, feeling sweet inside.

Because of Shen Chi’s persistence, they had been able to come back together. Despite all the ups and downs, he could still protect and shelter her...

For all these years, his feelings for her had never changed; he had always been steadfast and never left her side.

"Let’s eat," Shen Chi said.

"Oh," Xu Chaomu glanced at him, her face beaming with a smile.
