Chapter 665: Chapter 665 A Strange Number
In the darkness, the two of them kept talking, with Shen Chi gently soothing her.
Lying in Shen Chi’s arms, slowly, her stomach felt much better and wasn’t as painful. The little one seemed to have tired from the commotion and stopped kicking her.
Later, it was almost all him talking, and her listening.
As she listened, drowsiness crept in and she fell asleep in his embrace, closing her eyes.
Through a peaceful and calm night, whatever resentment Xu Chaomu had in her heart dissipated.
In her dreams, there were the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses, fiery and brilliant, with waves of overwhelming fragrance. There was also his proposal to her, hmm, though it was informal and somewhat coerced by her, she was still thrilled inside.
Even while sleeping, the corners of her lips were slightly turned up.
Sweet dreams, like sweet candy.
She didn’t know if he would ever formally propose to her again…
Just like every girl has a beautiful dream, she was no exception…
The next day when she went to work, Shen Chi had already left.
If it weren’t for the note he left on the table, she would have thought it was all a dream.
A rose pressed down the note that had only two words written on it: Good Morning.
She picked up the note, imprinted a kiss on it, and then, kept smiling foolishly.
Alright, she had forgiven him just like that; she was pretty spineless.
People say that pregnant women have big tempers, that they are sensitive, but she found that Shen Chi actually had a bigger temper and was even more sensitive than she was.
Fortunately, there were no roses on her desk today at work.
But she remembered the card that was left with the roses yesterday, “Meet at 8 PM.”
She threw the card away, not daring to let Shen Chi know about it.
Who exactly had sent her the roses? Maybe she would find out tonight?
She tapped her fingers on the desk and stopped thinking about it, starting to work.
A few colleagues teased her, “Xiaoxu, did your husband not send you roses today?”
Xu Chaomu just smiled, hmm, could she even mention that her husband sent her nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses last night?
Everyone started to bury themselves in work, but Xu Chaomu felt a sense of unease beating in her heart.
At first, she tried to suppress this unease, but it would occasionally surface.
Her eyelids kept twitching, and she couldn’t quite explain why.
Who was the person who sent her the roses, and what did he want?
When she got off work in the evening, she made an excuse to go out to dinner with Yu Weiwei instead of taking Shen Chi’s car.
Shen Chi, who was still in a meeting at the group, didn’t mind too much.
Lately, Shen Chi had been busy with an international trade fair, a collaborative event held by many domestic and international groups.
And the necklace Xu Chaomu designed was to be a highlight at the fair.
He entrusted such an important project to her, truly wanting to train her.
He knew Xu Chaomu loved designing, and was happy to help her fulfill a dream.
However, Xu Chaomu lacked experience, so there were many aspects where she still needed his support.
But that little woman wasn’t particularly grateful.
Not being grateful was one thing, after all, he was her husband.
In the evening, Shen Chi was still discussing the details of the trade fair with some managers.
After Xu Chaomu called, he didn’t mind much and let her go.
Carrying her bag, Xu Chaomu walked around outside…
When she reached a tea house, she ordered a cup of tea and drank alone.
Her heart was fluttering as the night gradually deepened, making her increasingly anxious.
More and more people filled the tea house, and she glanced at her phone to see that it was already past seven o’clock.
Would that person show up? Or was someone just playing a joke on her?
She didn’t dare go anywhere secluded; she was pregnant and didn’t want to risk her child’s safety.
So she just sat in the tea house, ordering a cup of floral tea and some pastries, watching as the lights outside the tea house lit up one by one, and as cars and people bustled below like flowing water and galloping horses.
She kept an eye on the time; it wouldn’t be long before it was eight o’clock, but at the moment, no one suspicious was nearby.
When it was almost eight o’clock, suddenly, her phone rang!
The phone vibrated on the table with a call from an unknown number.
She looked at the phone nervously, wondering what would happen if she didn’t answer.
At first, she didn’t answer, but the number kept calling her relentlessly, and she bit her lip and picked up.
“Hello,” she said, maintaining high alert.
“Miss Xu Chaomu, have you forgotten me?” a man’s voice spoke.
That voice, she knew it well; it was the man who had accosted her on the street some time ago!
The vice president of the Feili Group, insistently claiming her child was his man’s!
Once she guessed it was him, she calmed down somewhat.
For some reason, at that moment, the first person she thought of was Shen Shihan.
That day, Shen Shihan had told her to call him if that man dared to harass her again.
But the thought was fleeting, and Xu Chaomu wouldn’t actually call Shen Shihan.
She thought her heart couldn’t endure a second deception.
The wounds from five years ago were still painful to this day.
Xu Chaomu gathered her composure, “It’s you again?”
“Yes, me, haha, you remember me, I’m quite gratified. Have you eaten? How about coming out for a meal?” the man suggested falsely.
“I’m at home with my husband.”
“Really? But who’s this person at the tea house? She looks a bit like you. Or am I seeing things? Well, it’s dark now, so it’s normal to have blurred vision.”
Xu Chaomu immediately stood up, scanning the area, but no matter how much she looked, she couldn’t find the man!
“Where are you?”
“Don’t rush, sit down and we’ll talk. Then, look towards that building in front, on the third floor, at the window. Do you see me?”
Following his directions, Xu Chaomu looked where he pointed.
Yes, there at the third-floor window, was a man with a phone, watching her.
“What now?” Xu Chaomu feigned calm.
“Go to the group and get your plan out.”
“What do you want Shen’s plan for?” Xu Chaomu suddenly realized this man had a strong purpose.
Linda had given her the plan, and when handing it over, she emphasized how important it was, not to let anyone see it.
Back then, she had joked with Linda, “You’re entrusting me with something so important so trustingly?”
She remembered Linda shrugging and smiling, “I don’t know, but it seems like the boss trusts you a lot.”
She had responded nonchalantly, “He’s so mean to me; isn’t he afraid I’ll betray him?”
Linda just smiled and said nothing further.
Now this man wants the plan? Is it for Feili Group? Feili Group and Shen Group seem to be competitors in some respects.
“Don’t dilly-dally, go get it now,” the man said, lacking patience.
