Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Rent a Room at the Hotel


    Xu Chaomu didn’t wait for Shen Chi to speak and continued, “You always treat me with this attitude, I don’t think we can be together for long. There are many women pursuing you as well, you don’t lack one Xu Chaomu.”


    She admitted that Shen Chi’s words this time truly stabbed her in the heart.


    He actually said to her, “You’ve dated Lou Yanli, slept with Nie Chenglang, and shared a bed with me, Shen Chi; you’re really something. In front of me, you always act innocent and pure, but behind the scenes, you’re fooling around with several men. No wonder, at a young age, you knew how to climb into a man’s bed.” Such words!


    She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, her wrist tightly gripped by him, unable to move.


    In his heart, had he ever truly accepted her?


    “Shen Chi, I know you despise me inside; you say you don’t care, that you’ll be good to me and the child, but in reality, you can’t possibly not care. You don’t have to force yourself to accept me, and you certainly don’t have to accept me out of guilt. I don’t accept charity!”


    “Xu Chaomu…”


    “Shen Chi, if you really can’t let go in your heart, then let go. You should know that there’s always something between us, something I haven’t said. Do you think I would forget just because I haven’t mentioned it? Thirteen years ago…”


    Shen Chi let go of her wrist, placed his hands on her shoulders, and in a flash, pushed her against the wall.


    His lips immediately pressed down, sealing all the words she was about to say below…


    He admitted he was afraid to listen.


    “Mmm…” Xu Chaomu struggled, her hands pounding on his back.


    Her face turned crimson with urgency; at this moment, while she was still angry, she was very averse to Shen Chi’s kiss.


    His kiss was as domineering as ever, if he wanted her, she couldn’t refuse!


    Shen Chi was both angry and annoyed; she clearly knew how much he cared about her.


    But her words also scared him, as it turned out, in her heart, she had always dwelt on the matter of her mother…


    Yes, her silence didn’t mean she had forgotten.


    Her smiling and frolicking with him didn’t mean she stopped caring about these things.


    He kissed her lips, unwilling to let go, afraid of hearing her speak those words again.


    He also knew he had been too impulsive just now, that his words were too harsh. He never despised her; he meant it when he said he’d treat her and the child well, he was always sincere.


    Xu Chaomu couldn’t struggle free from him and gradually, she gave up struggling, letting him kiss her.


    His lips ground back and forth over her red lips, savoring the fragrance that belonged to her alone.


    Just as he closed his eyes to savor more, suddenly there were two cool droplets on his face.


    Opening his eyes, he realized, she was crying.


    Tears fell from her eyes onto his face, her eyes filled with despair and pain.


    He panicked, released her lips, and reached out to wipe away her tears.


    However, her tears couldn’t be stopped; with red, swollen eyes, she just looked at him emptily and lifelessly.


    Time seemed to stand still, and the whole office was quiet.


    After a long while, a cold smile tugged at the corner of her lips, her watery eyes, her face displaying utter helplessness and despair.


    Using all her strength, she pushed Shen Chi away, without saying another word, she ran off, leaning on the wall…


    She left his office, she didn’t want to talk to him.


    This man is irrational; she received an unsigned rose, could she even be blamed for that?


    “Mumu!” Shen Chi chased after her.


    Xu Chaomu frantically pushed the elevator button, and when he came out after her, she had already entered the elevator, frantically pressing the close button.


    The door shut, she collapsed inside the elevator, her mind in turmoil.


    In her ears were his cold, sharp admonishments, his commanding tone, he’s always like this.


    This time, he said words that were too harsh, words that she couldn’t bear.


    Shen Chi arrived at the elevator just as it slowly descended.


    He shook his head weakly; every time he encountered these situations, he couldn’t remain calm, was it because he cared about her too much, or was it because she didn’t care about him enough…


    All his rationality collapsed in an instant, and he had to admit, a certain young woman was his nemesis, someone he couldn’t escape for his entire life…


    He truly couldn’t remain calm.


    After running downstairs, Xu Chaomu didn’t dare go to the design department; she knew her eyes must be bloodshot red.


    Once in the restroom, she realized, indeed they were.


    Whoever played the prank of sending her the roses, if she found out, she would not let them off easily.


    She washed her face in the restroom, her heart still heavy.


    After lingering in the restroom for a long time, she finally went back to the design department.


    Everyone had gone out for lunch, she wasn’t in the mood to eat, sitting quietly in her chair, sketching designs.


    As she sketched, her mind wandered, her hand involuntarily writing her own name on the side of the paper.


    Xu Chaomu, Xu Chaomu, Xu Chaomu…


    She had just written a few strokes when her phone rang; it was Shen Chi calling.


    She hung up irritably.


    Then she wrote Shen Chi’s name on the white paper and crossed it out with a big X.


    Back and forth like this, when her mood finally began to stabilize a bit, she realized Shen Chi had already called her more than a dozen times.


    So many calls in such a short time, he was really patient.


    But his bad temper was unbearable to her! Absolutely unbearable! She was so upset that she crumpled the white paper into a ball and stuffed it into the trash can.


    Since the calls got no reply, Shen Chi sent her a text message.


    It wasn’t much content, just her name: “Mumu.”


    Her heart ached, unable to calm down for a long time. Every time she saw her phone screen light up, she wanted to throw the phone away.


    But she was reluctant to; the phone was purchased with her own money.


    So she turned the phone over, no longer looking at it.


    The bouquet of roses was quickly thrown into the trash can; whoever sent them, she didn’t want them, including from Shen Chi!


    When it was time to leave work in the evening, Old Cheng’s car was already waiting for her at the usual place.


    She saw it from a distance but didn’t go over, instead hailing a taxi.


    She didn’t want to go anywhere, she just wanted to rent a room by herself, to stay in a hotel for the night.


    Having some money on her, after she got out of the taxi she bought some food and went to the hotel.


    The hotel bed was comfortable enough; she turned on the TV, took a bath, and watched TV listlessly.


    When it was around seven or eight o’clock and she still hadn’t come home, Shen Chi called her many times.


    He also left her a voicemail: “Mumu, where are you?”

    Xu Chaomu didn’t respond to any of them; she made a call to Yu Weiwei.


    “Weiwei, what would you do if someone was bullying me?” Xu Chaomu said, feeling wronged.


    She couldn’t fully calm down now; what he said to her today was so harsh, she didn’t want to forgive him.


    “Someone’s bullying you? Of course, I’d be ready to fight for you, to beat him up for you,” Yu Weiwei said, but then she added, “But if it’s Mr. Shen Chi, forget it, I’m afraid of being beaten.”


    Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched, a coward.
