Chapter 235: We’ve Come That Far



“Li Beiting, you’re a smart man, do you think Shen Chi will marry me?”

Li Beiting fell silent. If this question had been asked in the past, he would have believed without a doubt, but now, he knew what Shen Chi was up to—it was just that he wasn’t certain.

“Li Beiting, so you won’t answer me, will you?” Bai Man sneered. “None of you are helping me.”

“Bai Man, maybe you are meant for a better man.”

“Better? But I only love Shen Chi!”

“I’m sorry, I can’t help you anymore,” Li Beiting said indifferently, and left it at that.

As his gaze remained outside the window, Shen Chi was taking steps forward, carrying Xu Chaomu on his back.

Dabai was closely following behind them, hopping and jumping around, obviously delighted.

Although he couldn’t see Shen Chi’s face, he knew that Shen Chi must have been content. Only in Xu Chaomu’s presence would Shen Chi smile and show all his tenderness.

Li Beiting hung up the phone, not caring what else Bai Man wanted to say to him.

However, he thought to himself that Shen Chi, if you let go of Bai Man, the path ahead of you will surely be arduous.

Under the street lamp, Li Beiting put down his phone, stepped on the accelerator, and took his car onto another road.

Beside the road, the flowers were lush and fragrant. The villa area was beautiful, and Xu Chaomu even spotted one or two fireflies.

It wasn’t even summer yet, and the fireflies were already flying.

After carrying her for a long stretch, she saw the sweat on his forehead by the light of the street lamps.

She snorted, “Shen Chi, are you tired? If you’re tired, put me down and carry me again later.”

“If you talk to me, I won’t be tired.”

“What’s there to talk about? We have nothing in common.”

“For example, what do you want me to give you for your birthday?”

“I don’t want anything. I would feel guilty for no reason if I accepted gifts from a stranger,” Xu Chaomu hummed.

“What stranger? After all that’s happened between us, are we still strangers? Huh?”

“What’s happened between us? What have I done to you? Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not married yet!”

“No one else can hear us, and besides, you were the one who kissed me first. What, you forgot? Trying to deny it?”

“I… I was just drunk, don’t keep bringing that up.”

Xu Chaomu looked unhappy. She had kissed him once, but he had kissed her back so many times that he had long since repaid her, with interest.

Truly a man who hates to be in debt.

The two of them talked as they walked. Shen Chi always loved to hear Xu Chaomu talk.

Even though sometimes she could be really chatty and noisy, he still liked it.

Dabai followed them the entire way, his eyes filled with boundless spirit.

“Chaomu, help me wipe off my sweat.”

“No.”

“You ungrateful thing, how can you be so heartless? Huh?”

“Then just leave me by the side of the road. I don’t mind.”

“Forget it, how did I get to know such an annoying brat,” Shen Chi said helplessly.

Quickly, Shen Chi carried her to the entrance of the Shen Family’s villa.

The road was traveled quickly, and they soon reached its end. It was like many other roads that seemed as if they would be walked together, only to end up separating…

“My feet don’t hurt anymore; put me down,” Xu Chaomu said, patting his shoulder.

As she lay on his shoulder, she felt incredibly secure, and truly wanted to stay there forever. But those shoulders weren’t hers to take, and she knew she shouldn’t covet what belonged to someone else.

And to Shen Chi, she was nothing more than a sisterly figure.

As for kissing her… well, it was just so he wouldn’t be at a loss.

Xu Chaomu always felt that Shen Chi, a man as brilliant as the stars, would never be interested in her. In all of C City, countless people wanted to marry him, and she was the least likely of them all.

Having spent eight years by his side, she was already much luckier than other women.

“Chaomu, are you lost in thought again?” Whenever she didn’t speak, he knew her mind was racing with thoughts.

“Put me down,” Xu Chaomu demanded, punching his back lightly.

Shen Chi had no choice but to set her down.

Xu Chaomu dashed off, circling the garden from the outside and entering the living room via the steps.

She was so familiar with this place, she headed straight to her own room.

The maid that came to give Chaomu her homework said, “Young Master, this is what you asked for.”

“Mm,” Shen Chi took it and headed upstairs as well.

Xu Chaomu ran into her room; it was her first time back since she started boarding. Everything was still familiar…

She walked slowly, touching the pen holder, the books, and the desk lamp on her table, staring blankly at them.

The place where she had lived for eight years, she would not return to anymore.

But after she was gone, would this room be cleared out for someone else?

Let someone else have it. After all, she would no longer return to the Shen Family; keeping it would be a waste.

However, saying she was ready to let go of eight years spent beside Shen Chi would, of course, be a lie.

She sniffled, sobbed quietly, and stealthily wiped away her tears.

No one’s heart is made of iron; she was feeling very upset.

But he was about to get married, and they already had a child; her staying would only hurt more. Besides, the Shen Family never really appreciated her.

At that moment, Shen Chi also entered and caught Xu Chaomu with tears in her eyes.

“What’s wrong, can’t bear to leave this place?”

“It’s been a while since it was cleaned, hasn’t it? The dust has gotten into my eyes,” Xu Chaomu said, waving her hand to discreetly wipe away the tears.

“Chaomu, you just refuse to come back. Not even an apology is enough; there’s just no dealing with you,” lamented Shen Chi.

“Just clear out this room for someone else,” Xu Chaomu said nonchalantly, patting the dust off her hands. “I won’t be coming back to stay.”

“Stop it,” Shen Chi said, as he ran his fingers through her hair.

Soon, after he returned from South Africa, he planned to bring her back home and tell everyone that she would no longer be Miss Xu, but the wife of the Fourth Young Master.

He was looking forward to his trip to South Africa, so he could return quickly.

But he dreaded going too soon; he wanted to spend more time looking at her.

Shen Chi was always a decisive man who acted swiftly, but when it came to her, he became conflicted and hesitant.

“Come do your homework. I’m going to take a shower in my room. Behave and do it well; you can ask me if you don’t understand anything.”

Shen Chi had carried Xu Chaomu the whole way and was drenched in sweat.

She appeared so unappreciative. Of course, he didn’t expect her gratitude.

Hmm, husbands are supposed to do these things.

“Okay.” Xu Chaomu took the homework from his hand and obediently bent over the desk.

This was how she always did her homework, with the desk lamp on, silently pondering the answers.

Sometimes she would fall asleep while working on it, and when she woke up, the lamp would still be on, with a spot of drool on her notebook.

After Shen Chi left, she slowly took out the practice exam papers.

Biology wasn’t done, geography wasn’t done, history wasn’t done… truly cruel.

She started with the biology paper, given it was Yu Weiwei’s favorite subject, which made her fond of it too.
