Chapter 924: Chapter 924: Waiting for Little Bun to Return

Shen Chi grabbed her hand, and together they stroked Wealth’s small head.

Wealth didn’t shy away, letting them touch him, and even seemed to enjoy it.

Shen Chi noticed that Xu Chaomu treated Wealth as if he were her own baby, her eyes full of tenderness and affection.

Indeed, after stroking Wealth for a while, Xu Chaomu asked, “The baby is really okay, right?”

“It’s okay, just premature, a bit weak,” Shen Chi told a lie.

“Did you hear him cry?” Xu Chaomu asked again. She found speaking very strenuous now, but she still wanted to talk.

She frowned, her eyes unable to hide a glimmer of hope.

Shen Chi looked at her, but after only a few seconds on her face, he averted his gaze. He didn’t dare to look into her eyes.

“I heard it,” Shen Chi lied to her again.

“Then did you see him?”

“I didn’t see him, but the doctor said he’s adorable,” Shen Chi intentionally tugged at the corners of his mouth, forcing a faint smile.

“I want to see him…” Xu Chaomu said.

“You will, just wait a bit. For the next few days, let me and Wealth keep you company,” Shen Chi had patience.

“Mm.”

Xu Chaomu nodded, her hand caressing Wealth, her gaze shifting back and forth from Shen Chi to Wealth.

She felt like she had overslept, nearly forgetting that at this time, Shen Chi should be in Los Angeles, and between them, there were still some unresolved conflicts.

However, at this moment, she couldn’t restrain the joy of becoming a mother for the first time, and besides, her baby was also Shen Chi’s baby. At times like this, she decided not to hold things against him.

Still, it was necessary to ask.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in Los Angeles?” Xu Chaomu uttered faintly.

Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of resentment.

“Finished the task early,” Shen Chi said.

Really? Xu Chaomu was somewhat incredulous but didn’t voice her skepticism, contenting herself by playing with Wealth instead.

For a while, the two of them ran out of things to say to each other.

Shen Chi didn’t try to make conversation anymore; he was afraid that speaking might pull on her wounds and cause pain.

Wealth played nonstop on the bedsheets, occasionally sticking out his tongue to lick Xu Chaomu’s hand.

Watching Wealth, Xu Chaomu’s mood improved significantly, and she remained silent, content to watch him play.

The setting sun slowly sank below the horizon, its fiery red disc gradually disappearing, replaced by the arrival of night.

After playing with Wealth for a while, a trace of disappointment appeared on Xu Chaomu’s face as she said softly, “I miss the baby…”

The little fellow was no longer in her belly, which was a somewhat unfamiliar feeling for her.

“As soon as the doctor says it’s okay, I’ll take you to see him, okay?” Shen Chi coaxed her.

Xu Chaomu obediently nodded once more, aware that she couldn’t rush things. It was her fault for not taking good care of the baby, letting him come prematurely by accident.

Yet, her heart swelled with anticipation, eager to see what the little one would look like.

Would he resemble her more, or would he look more like Shen Chi…

“You need to rest well,” Shen Chi held her hand.

Xu Chaomu nodded again, looking at Shen Chi.

She noticed his weary face, looking as if he hadn’t slept all night, with dark circles under his eyes.

She bit her lip and said nothing.

She was slowly recalling what happened before the premature birth; she remembered that they were in a cold war.

Once the little bun returns, she’ll settle her scores with him slowly since the wound on her belly still hurts a lot. With the little bun by her side, she’ll have someone to lean on.

After a while, Xu Chaomu said, “If you see the baby first, take a picture for me to see.”

“Okay, definitely,” Shen Chi agreed with her.

At last, he saw that Xu Chaomu’s face was no longer that emotional, and her eyes were slowly regaining their luster.

Now, all he hoped for was that the baby would be alright.

At that moment, the butler knocked on the door.

“Young Master, Young Madam, may I come in? Dinner is ready,” said the butler.

“Come in,” Shen Chi replied.

“Okay.”

The butler opened the door, followed by a young maid, both of them carrying many insulated boxes of various sizes filled with aromatic meals.

“I made some homestyle dishes, all of which have been approved by the doctor. Young Master, let me feed the Young Madam, and you should eat a bit too,” said the butler.

“I’ll do it,” Shen Chi lifted Wealth off the bed.

“That’s fine, that’s fine,” the butler had been waiting for Shen Chi to say that.

She knew Shen Chi was very tender-hearted towards Xu Chaomu; although they had been a bit stiff with each other recently for some unknown reason, at least at times like this, Shen Chi’s heart was all for Xu Chaomu.

The butler passed the meal boxes to Shen Chi and smiled.

Xu Chaomu frowned; the smell of the different dishes was making her feel queasy.

“Can I… not eat…” Xu Chaomu frowned.

“You can’t!” Shen Chi said decisively and authoritatively.

He propped her up slightly and then sat beside her to feed her.

“Everything’s here, Young Master. I just remembered, I need to make a trip to the doctor, Xiaoyue and I will come back later.”

“Okay,” Shen Chi nodded.

The butler gave Xiaoyue a sign, and they both promptly left the room, not wanting to disturb Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu any further.

The night had fallen; the sky outside was pitch-black, stained like with ink. One by one, the streetlights came on, rendering the hospital silent, far from the daytime bustle.

There were fewer patients around, and the clamor of children from the second floor could no longer be heard. Silence prevailed everywhere, interrupted occasionally by the sound of a car starting.

The soundproofing here was quite good, with no noise disturbing Xu Chaomu.

But Shen Chi was not completely satisfied.

If the incident hadn’t happened so suddenly, he would have taken her to the Luo Family Medical Group, where the hospital environment was much better.

“Don’t want to eat, don’t want to eat…” Xu Chaomu repeated.

Her brow was so deeply furrowed it could have trapped a fly.

Shen Chi couldn’t help but laugh. Xu Chaomu looked just like she did as a child. Back then, he wouldn’t let her be picky and forced her to eat things she disliked. She had the same expression back then: a frown on her face and resentful.

“No way!” Shen Chi sternly told her again, “It’s all very light food, eat some, do you even want to see the little bun?!”

After being scolded by Shen Chi like that, she pursed her lips and went quiet.

She wanted to see the little bun, very much…

“If you don’t eat, I won’t let you see him,” Shen Chi threatened and coaxed.

Xu Chaomu pouted and gave Shen Chi a glare.

He always knew how to pick these moments to bully her, knowing well that she was like a soft persimmon right now, unable to do anything, even speaking more than a few words seemed exhausting.

“Open your mouth!” Shen Chi scooped a small spoonful of rice flour, looking at her seriously and sternly.

Xu Chaomu knew there was no refusing now, she obediently opened her mouth.
