Chapter 1397: Chapter 1397: Love Action Movie

"Okay, okay, I always knew my daughter was the best," Xia Yongfang was very pleased.

"Dad, you’re praising your own melon again," Xia Chuqing laughed.

If she really was the best, why were there people who looked down on her...

"Do you want your old man to pick you up when summer break starts?"

"Same as usual, no need, I’ll take the bus back by myself," she said.

"Alright, then you take the bus. I’ll call you in a few days. Go on, focus on your review," Xia Yongfang urged a bit more before hanging up.

When the call ended, Xia Chuqing almost cried. Her dad was the best after all, only ever bringing her joy and happiness, and instantly, all the grievances she suffered at Xiao Mo’s dissipated.

After that day, Xia Chuqing never called Xiao Mo again, and Xiao Mo also did not reach out to Xia Chuqing.

They became like two parallel lines, growing further apart.

...

After the vacation ended, Xiao Mo returned to Shen’s for work, taking back all the duties he had delegated to his subordinates.

Xiao Mo deliberately avoided thinking about things he shouldn’t, as that would inevitably bring unnecessary complications to his work.

Seeing his improved condition, Shen Chi entrusted him with the Luo Family’s bidding project with confidence.

Meanwhile, Xu Chaomu was quite concerned about Xia Chuqing and called her a few days before the final exams.

"Hello, Chuqing, am I disturbing your revision?" Xu Chaomu said.

"No, not at all, I just finished a test paper and was about to take a break."

"You’re quite diligent. Do you have any plans for summer vacation?"

"After the exams, I’ll go see Xiaobao, and then when I return, I have another school internal test related to studying abroad."

"Studying abroad? Are you going abroad? To which country?"

"It’s not decided yet, I’m still in the testing phase," Xia Chuqing said casually.

"Last time in Jin City, you mentioned you wanted to study in the United States. Going abroad is good, but... do you still like Xiao Mo? Did you confess to him last time? I heard from Shen Chi that he took a few days off."

"It’s nothing, Sister Chaomu, let’s not talk about it," Xia Chuqing’s tone was light and carried a wisp of sadness.

"Did you guys have a falling out?"

"No, I was honest with him, and he was honest with me. We’re just not suited to be lovers."

"What did you be honest about?"

"It’s nothing really."

Seeing that Xia Chuqing didn’t wish to talk, Xu Chaomu dropped the issue and said: "Then you focus on your revision."

"Of course, I’ve got to earn scholarship money to buy things for Xiaobao!"

Xu Chaomu smiled, looking at the little one beside her.

It was already July, and her belly was getting bigger, but carrying this baby was not hard at all, Shen Chi was exceptionally good to her.

Her biggest worry was still Shui Fu. Shui Fu was over seven months pregnant and close to giving birth, but Shen Shihan still showed no sign of waking up.

The doctor said that his brain was injured when he was shot, causing nerve damage, and it would be difficult for him to wake up.

Xu Chaomu would visit Shen Shihan at the Luo Family medical center from time to time, and Shen Cexian also visited Shen Shihan several times.

Every time after seeing Shen Shihan, Shen Cexian would be very upset, shedding tears of sorrow yet rendered speechless.

Many times, Shen Cexian wanted to smoke, but Zhou Ran wouldn’t let him. In the end, Shen Cexian could only remain silent.

That day, Shen Chi came back from the corporation early, while it was still not dark.

"Shen Chi... why did you come back so early today?" Xu Chaomu was somewhat surprised.

"Tomorrow’s the weekend, I didn’t plan to work overtime, so I came back early to accompany you guys."

Shen Chi took Xu Chaomu and Xiaobao out for dinner, and after eating, he even played with Xiaobao in a children’s park for a while.

Xiaobao had been cooped up for so long, and now that he finally got out to play, he was very happy.

"Shen Chi, the baby kicked me today." Xu Chaomu leaned on Shen Chi’s shoulder, watching Xiaobao in the amusement park tenderly while wrapping her arms around Shen Chi.

"Is this baby more obedient than Xiaobao?"

"That’s true, Xiaobao is quite troublesome. But it wasn’t Xiaobao being troublesome, it was because I was in a bad mood during that time. You know, a pregnant woman needs to maintain a happy mood."

"You’re teaching me a lesson in a roundabout way again, I know I was wrong." Shen Chi pinched her face, "The grown-up doesn’t remember the folly of the little one, forgive me?"

"I can forgive you, but if you dare to treat me poorly, I will take Xiaobao and leave you."

"How do you want to be treated well?" Shen Chi raised an eyebrow at her.

"Then you accompany me to watch a movie later."

"What movie?"

"Romance film."

"Sentimental."

"Are you going or not?" Xu Chaomu threatened him.

Shen Chi turned to glance at her, his smile deep and meaningful: "Compared to romance films, I prefer action romance films."

"Shen Chi, do you still want your face?"

Shen Chi laughed, it was just a joke between them.

When Xiaobao was worn out from playing, they had Xiaogao take Xiaobao home, while Shen Chi took Xu Chaomu to the cinema.

The female lead in the movie bore some resemblance to Bai Man, and occasionally, some girls in the cinema would mention Bai Man who had retired from the entertainment industry.

Thinking of Bai Man, Xu Chaomu felt like there was a stone pressing on her chest.

To this day, Bai Xuan still hasn’t disclosed where Bai Man is. The people watching over Bai Xuan said that he doesn’t do much on normal days, just likes to stand by the window and stare blankly at the scenery outside.

Sometimes, he would stand there for the whole day.

Xu Chaomu didn’t dare to pressure him, and of course, she wouldn’t.

If he still regarded her as his daughter, if he still remembered her mother Xu Mengxi, he would tell where Bai Man is.

Halfway through the movie, Xu Chaomu fell asleep on Shen Chi’s shoulder.

Their seats were at the back, and Shen Chi gently kissed Xu Chaomu’s forehead, slowly sliding down, his warm wet kisses landing on her lips, on her neck.

...

The next day, while Xu Chaomu was still sleeping in, Shen Chi made a trip to Shen Shihan’s hospital room.

Ever since Shen Shihan returned to the country, Mo Shuifu never went back to her own home and instead slept in the hospital room every day to accompany Shen Shihan.

Today was no exception. Mo Shuifu had trouble sleeping because of her growing belly, and got up early.

"Young Master Four." Mo Shuifu was somewhat surprised by Shen Chi’s sudden appearance, her eyes wide open.

Shen Chi couldn’t bear to look at Mo Shuifu; she had gotten too thin, she had lost a lot of weight compared to before, and her eyes were sunken in deeply.

"I came to see how Third Brother is."

"Mhm." Mo Shuifu nodded, leading him to the bedside.

Shen Shihan was still not awake, and despite daily treatment, there was no improvement.

"Still no progress, but I will wait for him, even if it takes forever, this is my promise to him," Mo Shuifu said softly.

"Take good care of yourself, when he wakes up, he’ll want to see a healthy you and a cute child," Shen Chi said.

Mo Shuifu nodded without saying a word.

"Tell me if you have any difficulties," Shen Chi said.

"Young Master Four, I really thank you. After all that Shihan did to you back then..." Mo Shuifu’s voice grew fainter.
