Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Whatever You Do is Right Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Whatever You Do is Right Xu Chaomu felt a bit awkward; she wasn’t the patient, it was Shen Chi.


    She had noticed a piece of gauze on Shen Chi’s head, but she didn’t ask about it, though something seemed to be lodged in her heart.


    Xu Chaomu took a sip of hot tea, then glanced indifferently at Shen Chi, “If you want to play with Xiaobao for a while, do so, I’ll be taking him away shortly.”


    “How about we have a meal together?”


    “No, I’m not hungry.”


    “…” Shen Chi sat beside her in silence.


    Did they have to be this distant from one another? Not even sparing time for a meal? She didn’t even inquire about his head injury.


    Because they were sitting close to each other, Xu Chaomu felt it was too close and shifted to the side.


    As a result, every time she moved over, Shen Chi moved closer to her.


    As she kept shifting and soon ran out of space, Shen Chi suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist!


    “Hey!” Xu Chaomu was caught off guard again, “Can you give me a heads-up before you start touching me?”


    This way, not only was it embarrassing, but she was also nearly scared into having a heart attack by him!


    “When you used to hug me sneakily, you never gave me a heads-up either. I always thought whatever you did was right, so I just followed your lead,” Shen Chi said.


    “I think you’re up to no good, do you think that sounds right?”


    “…” A look of exasperation crossed Shen Chi’s face; she was starting to push back.


    Xiaobao felt dejected, wondering why uncle and mom were sitting side by side, ignoring him… With no one paying attention to him, he sulked, sitting on the sofa with a pout.


    Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu each sank into their own silences, Xu Chaomu acting as if she had nothing to say to Shen Chi.


    This was nothing like the Xu Chaomu of the past, who always had endless things to say whenever she was with him…


    Shen Chi silently sighed in his heart, wondering when she would become like her old self again.


    He knew that her heart bore too many burdens.


    Perhaps, only when those burdens lifted from her shoulders, would she be able to become as happy and optimistic as she was in the past.


    He liked the current Xu Chaomu, but he loved the Xu Chaomu of the past even more. He wanted her to be happy, not always so consumed with worries as she was now.


    “If you have nothing else to say, I think it’s time for me to leave,” Xu Chaomu pushed his hand away.


    “Don’t move.”


    “Hm?” Xu Chaomu turned her head.


    Just as she turned around, Shen Chi kissed her cheek and pulled her tightly into his embrace.


    “Mumu, would it be so bad to come back with me?” Shen Chi murmured into her ear.


    His hot breath on her ear sent shivers down her spine, her entire body tingling as if an electric current passed through her.


    He held her so tight, she couldn’t move.


    Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling right onto Shen Chi’s profile. With a slight lift of her head and a squint of her eyes, she could see his deeply contoured face and pure eyes.


    Tenderness covered his face, a kind that seemed to only show when he was with her.


    Of course… perhaps she was overthinking it again.


    “Bah, bah…” Xiaobao made noises intentionally, seeing that no one was paying attention to him.


    “Xiaobao is hungry, let go so I can give him some milk.”


    “He’s not hungry; he just wants you to hold him,” Shen Chi said.


    “Then let go, how can I hold him if you don’t?”


    “Leave him be!”


    Shen Chi sweated.


    How did Chaomu feel that Shen Chi had kicked Xiaobao away after making use of him? Looking at Xiaobao again, what a pitiful look in his eyes, as if he was saying, “Mommy doesn’t want me, Uncle doesn’t want me either.”


    Shen Chi embraced Chaomu, only when embracing her did he feel utterly at peace.


    This sense of security was irreplaceable by anything else.


    Just then, the wound on his head throbbed faintly.


    He endured silently, not speaking, but hugged Chaomu even tighter.


    However, Chaomu was not a fool; she could sense Shen Chi’s slight abnormality. Looking up, indeed, there were tiny beads of sweat on Shen Chi’s forehead.


    Chaomu tensed up, but maintained her composure as she said, “Does your wound hurt a lot? You should lie down.”


    “You’re finally willing to show me some concern,” Shen Chi said, looking at her.


    He kept his gaze on her, unwilling to look away for a long time, since she was his most beautiful scenery.


    Chaomu lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a small, faint shadow on her eyelids.


    He just watched her, from childhood to adulthood, and still found her endlessly fascinating.


    “I’ll call the doctor for you.” Chaomu tried to stand up.


    Shen Chi didn’t stop her but let her go out.


    Once outside, she found Shen Chi’s lead surgeon and explained the situation, but unexpectedly, the doctor looked troubled.


    “Doctor, is there a problem? His head hurts a lot; please take a look,” Chaomu said.


    “It’s not that I won’t check on him, I’ve been there several times, but President Shen directly kicked me out. He refuses to take medication or get an IV, and he won’t allow any examinations. How can he recover like this? How can his head not hurt?” the doctor huffed coldly.


    “Uh…” Chaomu broke out in a sweat, how can Shen Chi be like a child!


    She had forgotten, he was essentially a childish buffoon!


    In the eyes of others, Shen Chi was steady and wise, unfazed by changes. But only she knew that he was actually a very childish man–petty and hot-tempered, sometimes even acting like a little child.


    Of course, these aspects of Shen Chi were only ever shown in front of her. In the eyes of others, he was always the dazzling President Shen!


    “Madam, can you coax President Shen? Say a few kind words, so he will take his medicine–that would be good,” the doctor pleaded helplessly.


    “I’ll try.”


    “Having your word is enough, I’ll go there now and hope not to get kicked out by President Shen. Madam, you don’t know, but our nurses here cry at the mention of President Shen’s name; none of them want to go to his ward.”


    “Uh…” Chaomu sweated again.


    Just how uncaring could this man be?


    Those nurses were all pretty and gentle, yet he just kicked them out?


    When the doctor followed Chaomu back to the ward, Shen Chi was in the room playing with Xiaobao.


    He held Xiaobao in his arms one moment, and the next, lifted him high in the air. Xiaobao was having a great time playing with Shen Chi, laughing “gigglegiggle” continuously.


    Hearing Xiaobao laugh brought joy to Shen Chi’s heart.


    His mood became as clear and expansive as the sky clearing up after June’s rainy days.


    “Xiaobao, call me ‘Daddy’ again.” Shen Chi was truly addicted to the feeling of being a father… it was wonderful.


    Xiaobao looked at him but kept silent, just watching.

    “Daddy,” Shen Chi coached him.


    Xiaobao’s big eyes twirled, and finally, he spoke, “Ba… ba…”


    “Mhm, good job, you’re smart, Xiaobao. Next time, you also need to call Mommy, or Mommy will get angry, okay?” Shen Chi coaxed him.


    The doctor opened the door just in time to see Shen Chi’s tender expression, his face full of paternal gentleness.


    Chaomu also walked in, with the adult and child sitting face to face.
