Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Girls, Being a Bit Dirty is Cuter

“…” Shen Chi stopped talking, feeling it was better to just eat quietly.

Throughout the meal, Yu Weiwei was the one most affected. Towards the end, she simply took a lot of food in her bowl at once, and then… she didn’t have to look up the whole time.

Finally, when the meal was over, Yu Weiwei let out a relieving sigh and sat down on the sofa pretending to read the newspaper on her own.

Shen Chi had finished eating, but Xu Chaomu was still talking and eating slowly, very slowly.

“Husband, what have you been busy with lately? I haven’t been to the corporation for a long time, and I kinda miss those colleagues. A few days ago, Xiaomei even texted me, saying she wanted the chocolates I gave her,” Xu Chaomu said.

“The trade fair,” Shen Chi replied indifferently.

He had finished and was drinking a glass of boiled water, waiting for Xu Chaomu to finish.

“If you’re busy, go ahead to the corporation. I’ll wait for you to come back tonight,” Xu Chaomu said.

“No rush for these few minutes,” Shen Chi said, “The location for this trade fair is at the C City International Convention Center, and you’ll come with me when the time comes.”

“Ah?” Xu Chaomu almost dropped her chopsticks in surprise, “Am I to go too? Are you planning to present me with an award or something?”

“Whether I present an award is not for me to say. I just want to take you with me,” Shen Chi said calmly.

“Oh,” Xu Chaomu poked at the rice.

“Once this trade fair is completely over, I’ll spend some quality time with you,” Shen Chi said, looking at her with an ocean of deep affection in his eyes.

“It’s okay, you do your work. It’s good enough that I can see you every day now,” Xu Chaomu said, “Besides, I still have more than three months before I give birth, no rush.”

As she spoke, she touched her round belly, which, even though the birth was more than three months away, was growing quickly.

“Mm, be good,” Shen Chi said as he stroked her hair.

His hand was gentle, warming her heart as it touched her hair.

“It’s getting cooler lately, make sure to wear more clothes at home,” Shen Chi said with concern.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m not a three-year-old kid. You should too, dress warmer, don’t just care about looks without warmth. After all, you can’t seduce young girls anymore,” she teased.

Shen Chi’s lips curved into a smirk, but he remained silent.

Xu Chaomu ate slowly; she wanted to spend more time with Shen Chi.

Even though she saw him every day, she felt that every second with him was exceptionally precious.

When she finally finished eating, Shen Chi straightened his clothes and got in the car.

Xu Chaomu stood on the stairs outside the living room, watching him leave with reluctance.

Shen Chi had to look away and drive off. He knew she wouldn’t go back until his car was out of sight.

Only after Shen Chi was gone did Xu Chaomu return inside, seemingly dispirited.

Seeing her like this, Yu Weiwei said while touching her forehead, “Lady Chaomu, you see each other every day, you know. Since it’s every day, won’t you see him again tonight? Why the long face?”

“I can’t bear to part with him.”

“Now you can’t bear it? How did you manage to leave him for five years?” Yu Weiwei asked.

“It was different,” Xu Chaomu said softly.

In reality, she hadn’t been able to bear it during those five years… Whenever the pain in her heart was at its deepest in the night, it was always him she thought of most.

“By the way, I see you have a lot of pregnancy and maternity books here. Can I borrow a few?” Yu Weiwei changed the subject, not wanting her to feel sad.

“They were all bought by Shen Chi. There are too many, I won’t be able to finish them, no, I don’t even read them. Take as many as you’d like,” Xu Chaomu said.

“I’ll just pick a few.” Yu Weiwei then began to seriously select a few books.

Shen Chi really put thought into it, buying so many.

After the selection, Xu Chaomu suggested taking her for a walk around the Shen Family’s place. She still hadn’t had the chance to give Yu Weiwei a proper tour.

Yu Weiwei thought this was a good idea since she also wanted to see what a real luxury household was like.

As they toured with Xu Chaomu, many parts of the Shen Family’s home were interconnected, and since they only needed to stay indoors, they didn’t feel cold.

The two pregnant women walked slowly, chatting about this and that as they went, talking about anything and everything without any particular order.

As they talked, the topic drifted into risqué territory.

“Chaomu, has that brute of yours touched you since you got pregnant?” Yu Weiwei asked in a hushed voice.

Xu Chaomu’s face turned red. “What do you think?”

“Oh, I see,” Yu Weiwei chuckled.

“Didn’t you used to spread rumors that he was no good in bed? So, do you think he’s capable or not now?” Yu Weiwei continued to probe.

Xu Chaomu’s face flushed again, and she couldn’t help but recall those passionate nights.

“He has too much stamina…” Xu Chaomu said shyly.

“Tsk tsk, seems like you’re pretty satisfied? That’s good, as long as he can keep you happy. Otherwise, you’d have to come to me for advice,” Yu Weiwei said earnestly.

“Yu Weiwei, how can you be so dirty?”

“Have you forgotten? I graduated from a urology department, how can I not be? Girls have to be a little dirty to be cute,” Yu Weiwei shamelessly declared. “But remember, tell your beast to take it easy at night, you’re pregnant after all, can’t be too reckless, three times a night is the max.”

“…” Xu Chaomu held her forehead.

“Alright, let’s change the subject,” Yu Weiwei said. “By the way, I’ve discussed the wedding with Li Beiting.”

“Hmm?” Xu Chaomu looked up. “Are you two planning a wedding now?”

They were moving along quite quickly. Li Beiting had just left the Li Family, and they were already discussing wedding plans.

“Yeah, my belly isn’t that noticeable now,” Yu Weiwei said. “Li Beiting suggested we have the wedding while it’s still not so obvious and didn’t want anything lavish, just something for our friends.”

“Then… your parents?” Xu Chaomu asked tentatively.

“They’re coming.” Yu Weiwei smiled. “They still support me a lot. However, it’s likely that Li Beiting’s parents won’t attend.”

“Will he regret it?” Xu Chaomu wondered.

“He says it’s nothing, but I know there must be some regret in his heart. After all, his family has always been close. If it weren’t for this incident…”

“Weiwei, don’t overthink it. You two just need to live well. Only if you live well, his parents might come around,” Xu Chaomu comforted her.

Yu Weiwei nodded. “I’m not dwelling on it too much. We don’t have much money for the wedding anyway, so we’ll keep it simple.”

“You could wait until the baby is born, too,” Xu Chaomu suggested.

“No need, it’s better to do it now. I don’t like too much fuss; simpler is better.”

“So when do you plan to do it?” Xu Chaomu inquired.

“Once I get through this busy period at the research institute, and after he’s settled in. Chaomu, you and Shen Chi must come, okay?”

Xu Chaomu felt a lump in her throat, her eyes suddenly brimming with moisture.

Her long-time friend was getting married…

“What about you, when’s your wedding?” Yu Weiwei asked.

Xu Chaomu shook her head. “I don’t know…”

“You don’t know? Hasn’t Shen Chi ever brought it up?” Yu Weiwei was somewhat surprised.
