Chapter 639: Chapter 639 His Father is Shen Chi
Who knows who put a little bell around its neck? When the little guy walked, the bell jingled incessantly.
Playing by itself for a while, and seeing Xu Chaomu and Nie Chenglang paying it no attention, it raised its little face, looking at them with a blank expression.
That little expression was especially adorable.
Xu Chaomu also squatted down, her small hand petting its fluffy head.
“Wealth, your little bell is so pretty, can I borrow it?” Xu Chaomu teased it.
Wealth quickly ran to Nie Chenglang’s feet, afraid that Xu Chaomu would snatch its bell away.
Xu Chaomu didn’t know who had tied the bell on it, but it seemed Wealth really liked it.
Nie Chenglang laughed, “Wealth is indeed smart.”
“Of course, it’s the result of my training,” Xu Chaomu said proudly.
Little Wealth was surrounded by them, now playing with its paws, now lying beside Nie Chenglang’s leather shoes.
One moment it looked up at them with wide, rolling eyes, the next, it lowered its head to chase and bite at a leaf.
When Xu Chaomu squatted down, her skirt trailed on the ground, and the soft light illuminated her form, making her look like a beautiful angel.
Leaves fell on her shoulder, and with a slight movement, they slipped off her shoulder.
The whole scene was exceptionally harmonious and beautiful.
Wealth was very familiar with both Xu Chaomu and Nie Chenglang, not the least bit shy or panicked in their eyes.
It had a great time playing with them.
Xu Chaomu also had a great time, hardly ever seeing Wealth so happy since she brought it back to the Shen Family.
However, neither she nor Nie Chenglang noticed the black Maybach parked not far away on the roadside.
The Maybach had been there for a long time, motionless, with all its lights off.
The man in the driver’s seat had a somber look, his sharp eyes fixed straight ahead like a hawk’s.
His hands rested on the steering wheel, his gaze locked on one spot from start to finish.
Under the streetlight, Xu Chaomu’s smile was very sweet, like delectable candy.
Initially squatting, perhaps tired, she later stood up, caressing her belly, watching the little dog run back and forth on the ground.
The dog ran, and she laughed, clearly enjoying herself.
Nie Chenglang was still half-squatting, reaching out to tease the dog.
“Chaomu, are you tired? If you are, you should go back to rest early.”
After playing for a while longer, Nie Chenglang picked Wealth up from the ground.
Wealth was quite obedient, allowing Nie Chenglang to hold it, just squirming about in his arms.
“Not tired. It’s rare to have this much fun, and Wealth seems really happy too.”
“You are pregnant, so it’s best to play with Wealth less,” Nie Chenglang said earnestly.
“It’s okay, my baby’s four months now.”
As she spoke, Xu Chaomu laughed and rubbed her protruding belly.
Nie Chenglang, holding Wealth, also glanced at her belly.
After a long pause, he hesitated, then asked, “Chaomu… do you not care who the father of this child is?”
In fact, he didn’t know who the father of the child was either, but he had heard from his mother that it was a vice president from the Feili Group who had entered Xu Chaomu’s room that night.
This was something he didn’t want Xu Chaomu to know.
“My baby? His dad… is Shen Chi,” Xu Chaomu said softly, affectionately stroking her belly.
Perhaps it was Xu Chaomu’s casual tone, but Nie Chenglang laughed awkwardly.
Yes, if she could think that way, it would be nice.
Just then, Wealth let out a “woof woof,” and Xu Chaomu took it from Nie Chenglang’s hands.
“Wealthy, are you hungry?” Xu Chaomu asked, looking down.
Settling into a comfortable position in Xu Chaomu’s embrace, Wealthy lay there quietly, coquettishly rubbing against her while staring at Nie Chenglang with big eyes.
That little appearance, no matter how one looked at it, was utterly adorable.
Nie Chenglang was amused by its antics and couldn’t help but pinch its little paw.
“I really can’t bear to part with it, I miss the days when we raised it together,” Nie Chenglang reflected.
In the past, he used to buy it lots of treats and even pretty clothes.
He was responsible for making purchases, while Xu Chaomu took care of the upbringing.
But Xu Chaomu, the irresponsible one, only knew how to play with it without understanding how to balance its diet properly, resulting in the little guy not growing much.
This warm and harmonious scene was fully witnessed by Shen Chi.
Shen Chi’s pupils suddenly constricted, his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his face seemed to be filled with rage.
When Xu Chaomu was with Nie Chenglang, her smile was full of joy, a smile that was rarely seen when she was with him.
He wasn’t sure if she was afraid of him or hadn’t fully accepted him, but he could always sense the distance she kept from him.
He believed that his intuition was not wrong.
Five years later, she still maintained a sense of distance from him!
With him, she would no longer be as carefree and unrestrained as she was five years ago.
Nor would she be as unburdened as when she was with Nie Chenglang.
Yes, she and Nie Chenglang were family, and he had always been the demon who forced her, the one who tore them apart.
With that thought, a cold, indifferent smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Chaomu, it’s getting late, you should go back,” Nie Chenglang said.
Holding Wealthy, Xu Chaomu looked at Nie Chenglang, “How will you get back?”
“I’ll call a driver to pick me up.”
“Alright, get some rest early. If you miss this little guy next time, just give me a call, and I’ll bring him out,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile, “He was really happy to see you today.”
“I was happy to see him too.”
Nie Chenglang reluctantly touched Wealthy’s little paw, his eyes filled with longing.
“Come on, Wealthy, wave goodbye to handsome Mr. Nie!” Xu Chaomu lowered her head and lifted Wealthy’s paw.
Wealthy was quite cooperative, making a couple of “woof woof” sounds, as if saying goodbye to Nie Chenglang, but seemed reluctant to part.
“Goodbye, Wealthy, I’ll miss you,” Nie Chenglang said, half-crouching and stroking its little head.
Nie Chenglang then waved at Xu Chaomu, “You should head back and rest early. Pregnant women shouldn’t play with animals for too long. Take care of yourself.”
“Yes, I know, goodbye.”
“Yeah.” Nie Chenglang nodded.
Xu Chaomu waved goodbye to Nie Chenglang and slowly walked away from the roadside.
Nie Chenglang watched her enter the villa area until her figure disappeared into the light.
Soon after, he too called a driver to come over.
Shen Chi waited for Nie Chenglang to leave before driving out and into the villa area.
When he got home, Xu Chaomu had already taken a shower, her damp hair pinned up as she played with Wealthy on the side.
“Wealthy, your little bell is crooked, let me tie it back on for you.”
Xu Chaomu was quite fond of the little bell around its neck, without knowing who had tied it there.
She patiently straightened the bell, caressing Wealthy.
“Wealthy, you can’t chew on the sofa, if you ruin it, President Shen will sell you,” Xu Chaomu quickly held onto Wealthy as it tried to jump down from her arms to chew on the sofa.
