Chapter 495: Chapter 495 Mu Shaoci & Shen Lu 40

Mu Shaoci slept deeply this time.

Ever since Shen Lu left, he had started to suffer from insomnia, managing at most four hours a day.

After last night’s ordeal, when he opened his eyes, it was already 7:30 a.m.

He sat up and looked around, calling out, "Assistant Shen?"

However, there was no response.

Mu Shaoci caught sight of the Human Skin Mask on the pillow and instantly understood what happened.

He changed his clothes and called Su Chen, "Go check if Shen Lu is in her room?"

"Shen Lu?"

Mu Shaoci clenched his teeth, "Don’t tell me you still haven’t realized that Shen Ci is Shen Lu?"

Su Chen: "...I really hadn’t."

Mu Shaoci took a deep breath, "Am I a promiscuous person? What an idiot! This time, I must find Shen Lu!"

Soon, Su Chen replied, "President Mu, Miss Shen hired a car at the resort and headed for the airport."

Mu Shaoci clenched his phone, "That foolish woman has run away again! Come to the airport with me!"

Su Chen quickly got the car, and Mu Shaoci got into the back seat and called Mu Shaoze.

"Big brother, any instructions?"

"Find Shen Lu for me." He then described the vehicle the driver was using.

Mu Shaoze, "Big brother, does this woman have a grudge against you? You are so fixated on her, could it be that you’ve fallen for her?"

Mu Shaoci gritted his teeth, "Like her? Ridiculous! She stole something very valuable from me, I need to catch this thief and torture her harshly!"

Mu Shaoze, "Big brother is indeed ruthless; I’ll start searching now. Tell me the last place she was seen."

"At the airport, roughly around 4:30 p.m."

Mu Shaoze clicked his tongue, "Truly a thief, stealing and then fleeing! And so early in the day, definitely a habitual thief. What’s the situation now?"

Mu Shaoci asked, "What happened?"

"There are no entry or exit records for her. You said she was at Terminal 3 at 4:30, I just saw the car, she never appeared. I understand now, someone deliberately erased all her traces. Big brother, she has a powerful person backing her!"

Mu Shaoci was shocked, and then he thought of that Human Skin Mask which wasn’t something ordinary people could have.

He pursed his thin lips, "Then find a way to investigate, otherwise I will contact Lone Wolf."

Mu Shaoze laughed, "Big brother, don’t you trust me?"

"Yes!"

"Am I not your real brother anymore?"

"No."

Mu Shaoze, "...Don’t doubt my capabilities, can’t I always outsmart Lone Wolf?"

Mu Shaoci wasn’t in the mood to banter and hung up the phone.

He called Xu Ming, asking about Shen Lu.

Xu Ming just said that Shen Lu was hired by himself, after all, An Yan had instructed him not to betray his friend.

Mu Shaoci did not receive any useful information, feeling particularly heavy-hearted.

Su Chen was very anxious, "Presi—President Mu, are we still going to the airport?"

"Go."

"Yes."

Mu Shaoci had Su Chen park the car in an empty area outside the airport runway.

He leaned against the car door, lighting up a cigarette.

One cigarette after another.

Watching planes take off one by one, rising into the sky, his eyes felt sore.

If not for that Human Skin Mask, he would really doubt if last night was just a dream.

Shen Lu!

Why are you so ruthless!

I’ve been searching for you for so long, finally found you, and yet you left me again.

Watching happiness slip away, his heart felt like it was being viciously stabbed by a dagger.

After finishing a whole pack of cigarettes, Mu Shaoci glanced at the cigarette butts scattered on the ground, his red eyes looking particularly sinister.

He opened the car door and got in, "Go home."

Back home, Mu Shaoci grabbed a bottle of red wine, gulping it down.

One bottle wasn’t enough; he took another, drinking himself into oblivion.

For three consecutive days, he lived like this.

Until the fourth day, Mu Shaoci appeared before everyone again, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, still looking as cold and heartless as ever.

Only Su Chen knew that Mu Shaoci had never stopped searching for Shen Lu.

Yet Shen Lu seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.

In country C, an artisanal chocolate shop.

Tongtong caressed the woman’s bulging abdomen, "Sister Lulu, how many more days until little brother is born?"

Shen Lu’s hair was shoulder-length, and her eyes were filled with tenderness, "Soon, tomorrow is the due date. I think it’s about to happen. Tongtong, remember, in front of strangers, you must call me Mom, okay?"

Tongtong’s eyes shone brightly, "Okay, but Sister Lulu, why aren’t you with Brother Mu?"

Shen Lu looked at the wind chime swinging at the door, "Because I’m not worthy of him. He is the best man in the world."

Tongtong sighed, touching her belly, "It’s sad that the little brother will be born without a father’s love, but Dad and I will love him."

Shen Lu stroked her soft hair, "Thank you, Tongtong."

Tongtong, "We are a family! But I still prefer your original appearance."

Shen Lu touched her own face, "I’m quite happy with how I look now."

"You don’t want Brother Mu to recognize you?"

"Little devil!"

"Dad said Brother Mu is a good person, but we still have to keep it a secret from Sister Lulu."

Just then, the shop door was pushed open.

Mu Shaoci walked in.

Shen Lu gripped Tongtong’s hand tightly, and Tongtong, excited, exclaimed, "Mom, this is Brother Mu."

Hearing this address, Mu Shaoci paused, then nodded, "Hello."

Shen Lu nodded slightly, "Hello."

Tongtong ran to Mu Shaoci, "Where’s Sister Lulu?"

"We’ve separated, we’re not together anymore. Where’s your dad?"

Tongtong made an ’oh’ sound, "That’s really a shame, I really like Sister Lulu. Dad went to check on other stores, planning to expand. He said that with little brother about to be born, we need to earn a lot of money."

Mu Shaoci looked at the woman’s abdomen, which seemed to move slightly.

Tongtong blinked and grabbed Mu Shaoci’s hand, "Brother Mu, come."

She placed Mu Shaoci’s hand on Shen Lu’s lower abdomen, and the baby inside moved again.

Mu Shaoci quickly removed his hand, "Sorry."

Shen Lu lowered her eyes and shook her head, her voice somewhat choked, "It’s alright."

She had never imagined that one day, Mu Shaoci would interact with the unborn child.

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

Shen Lu was evidently too agitated, and the child in her belly was tossing violently. She felt a whoosh below her, her waters had broken.

Tongtong was frightened, "Mom, what’s wrong?"

Shen Lu reassured, "It’s okay, Mom is about to give birth to the little brother. I’ll call your dad right now to have him come back."

She called Tongtong’s dad, but there was an accident on the bridge, and he was stuck there.

Mu Shaoci said, "I’ll take you to the hospital."

Shen Lu wanted to refuse, but the contractions came, and her stomach began to hurt.

She nodded, "Then I’ll trouble you."

Tongtong went into the rest room to get the maternity bag, supported Shen Lu out, and locked the shop door.

Mu Shaoci rushed them to the pre-booked maternity hospital.

By the time the car stopped, Shen Lu was in severe pain.

Mu Shaoci carried her and ran into the hospital.

Soon, Shen Lu was in the delivery room.

When Tongtong’s dad arrived, he was surprised to see Mu Shaoci, then he looked at Tongtong.

Tongtong, being smart, quickly came over to explain the situation.

Tongtong’s dad shook Mu Shaoci’s hand in gratitude, saying, "Mr. Mu has saved Tongtong’s life and now my wife’s life too; perhaps you could help us name the child."

Mu Shaoci smiled, "That might not be appropriate."

"It’s settled then."

Two hours later, Shen Lu gave birth to a handsome baby boy.

After another two hours of observation, Shen Lu was wheeled back to the ward.

She was surprised that Mu Shaoci hadn’t left.

Tongtong’s dad quickly said, "Mr. Mu has saved our family, I want Mr. Mu to name the child."

Shen Lu looked at him gratefully, then turned to Mu Shaoci, "It would be our honor."

Mu Shaoci thought for a moment, "Let’s call him Yicheng."
