Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: The Stranger Who Appeared When I was Fifteen Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: The Stranger Who Appeared When I was Fifteen Xu Chaomu’s chest tightened, and her fingers involuntarily clenched without any expression on her face.


    “I’m not feeling well, accompany me for a walk,” Shen Chi approached her, his tone lacking any dominance, instead, it carried a hint of roguishness.


    Xu Chaomu hugged Xiaobao tightly, her lips moved slightly, but she did not speak.


    Just then, the elevator came down from the upper floor and stopped at their level.


    Just as Xu Chaomu was about to enter the elevator, Shen Chi, quick on his feet, blocked the doorway and casually pressed the button to go down.


    “The elevator is leaving,” Shen Chi said, seemingly on purpose as he watched Xu Chaomu.


    “…” Xu Chaomu was speechless.


    “I’m not feeling well,” Shen Chi emphasized again, “You stay and keep me company.”


    “If you’re not feeling well, you should see a doctor. Also, a spoken word, a spilled water; you just told me to leave, and since you said it, you have to stick to it,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.


    “I don’t want to see anyone else but you,” Shen Chi said.


    Now, Shen Chi’s eyes held only Xu Chaomu, not even caring for Xiaobao.


    Like now, Shen Chi didn’t even glance at Xiaobao, his gaze fixed deeply and affectionately on Xu Chaomu’s face.


    His gaze was like an ocean, deep and filled with tender affection, his indulgence captivating enough to drown a person in it, intoxicating them relentlessly.


    Xu Chaomu lowered her eyelashes, deliberately avoiding the man’s gaze, aware that his eyes were poisonous, and even a single glance could be lethal.


    “But… Mr. Shen, the CEO, I really don’t want to see you,” Xu Chaomu tilted her head nonchalantly, “Can’t you chase someone else? I have a baby, after all.”


    “Your baby already calls me ‘Daddy.’ Shouldn’t I be responsible for him? Is ‘Daddy’ something you can call just anyone?”


    “The child doesn’t know anything. Whoever I tell him to call, he will call, won’t he?”


    “So, you’ll just casually find him a ‘Daddy’? Since you’re looking for one, why not consider me?”


    “We’re not suitable,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.


    The two were at an impasse, neither willing to give in.


    Shen Chi blocked Xu Chaomu’s way; she intended to take Xiaobao and use the stairs, but Shen Chi still barred the way.


    There was a bandage on Shen Chi’s head, stained with traces of blood, whether from his refusal to take medication or IV fluids, it was unclear.


    Xu Chaomu’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively tightened her grip on Xiaobao.


    “Don’t you already know whether we’re suitable?” Shen Chi pressed closer, “After all, we’ve always cooperated very tacitly in many ways, like… you know.”


    “…” Xu Chaomu’s lips twitched, resorting to vulgarity at the slightest disagreement.


    This was still a restrained form of hooliganism. When Shen Chi acted like a rogue, he truly knew no bounds!


    “Chaomu…”


    Just as Shen Chi spoke, someone suddenly appeared around the corner.


    Xu Chaomu felt a chill pass by, as if cold eyes were watching her, even the hallway seemed to carry a cold breeze.


    She wouldn’t have turned if not for the feeling, but upon turning… sure enough, there was someone at the stairway entrance, none other than Zhou Ran.


    Zhou Ran was dressed in a black satin cheongsam, her figure graceful and her demeanor dignified. Her hair was styled into a low bun, her face bare and unmade, resembling a fresh Hibiscus mutabilis blossom.


    Zhou Ran was carrying some items, likely for Shen Cexian.


    Upon seeing Xu Chaomu, her face remained unchanged, but her pupils tightened, hiding her surprise.


    Xu Chaomu was also surprised, but only for a few seconds before she calmed down.


    Shen Cexian’s health was poor, and he always stayed at the Luo Family Medical Group, so Zhou Ran’s presence here was expected.


    However, Xu Chaomu hadn’t seen Zhou Ran for over half a year and felt incredibly uncomfortable.


    Because of Zhou Ran, she and Shen Chi had gotten into a fight, which severely damaged their relationship to the point that he declared he needed some peace and flew off to Los Angeles when she was pregnant.


    Then, she had her premature birth, and he… had not been by her side.


    Just thinking about it turned her face pale!


    With one hand holding Xiaobao and the other trying with all her might to push Shen Chi at the elevator entrance!


    She wanted to push him away, she didn’t want to see Shen Chi, and she definitely didn’t want to see Zhou Ran!


    Her eyebrows furrowed, and her expression was very unpleasant.


    “Get out of my way!” Xu Chaomu couldn’t move Shen Chi and angrily yelled, “If sick, go see a doctor; if in pain, take medicine! Stop bothering me, I don’t want to see you.”


    Her tone was extremely cold, devoid of any warmth, like ice in a cellar!


    Xu Chaomu was a bit agitated, as she had never been able to remain composed, and her emotions always showed on her face.


    She didn’t want to see Zhou Ran, and Zhou Ran’s appearance merely brought up all her unpleasant memories!


    She had been trying to forget, but she never really did.


    Zhou Ran seemed more composed; she lifted her eyes and quietly watched the elevator’s direction.


    After a few glances, she started walking towards them.


    Shen Chi had been injured in a car accident and was on the second floor; she had heard about it.


    But what she didn’t know was that Xu Chaomu was actually there.


    “Shen Chi, take your hand off, or I’ll bite you! Do you know how annoying you are?” Xu Chaomu bit her lip.


    Zhou Ran steadily walked towards her while Shen Chi firmly resisted moving.


    “You come back to the ward with me!” Shen Chi said coldly.


    He didn’t want to see Xu Chaomu and Zhou Ran confront each other directly, but he knew since he was determined to win Xu Chaomu back, this day was unavoidable!


    His stance was actually very firm; he would always defend Xu Chaomu.


    But Zhou Ran was his mother, and in many aspects, he couldn’t be completely impartial.


    “Go away, just go away!” Xu Chaomu grabbed his hand, her face especially grim, her emotions very agitated.


    The last time in the cafe, when she had an argument with Zhou Ran, he didn’t even want to listen to her explanation, and she knew that in his heart, she would never surpass Zhou Ran.


    What confidence did she have to outrank Zhou Ran, who was his biological mother, while she was just a passerby who appeared when he was fifteen?


    Compared to Xu Chaomu’s loss of control, Zhou Ran was relatively quiet; she silently stepped up to them.

    Shen Chi couldn’t avoid Zhou Ran any longer, but he still kept his composure and took Xiaobao from Xu Chaomu’s arms.


    “Chaomu, it’s okay,” he whispered.


    Zhou Ran had already stopped right in front of him; he looked at her and said indifferently, “You’re here too, what a coincidence.”


    Zhou Ran showed no particular emotion, just nodded her head, “I brought some food for your father, made by myself. And your favorite steamed dumplings; should I leave some for you?”


    “I don’t enjoy steamed dumplings anymore,” Shen Chi said evenly, with an underlying meaning, “Food gets cold if left out for too long; you better take it quickly to my father.”
