Shen Chi’s brows furrowed even deeper. Clearly, he was not amenable to others directing or instructing him.
The butler felt that since she had already said this much, she did not care about speaking a bit more.
So, she continued, “Madam Xu came back when she was over two months pregnant. I know you’re upset, but I also know that you love Madam Xu deeply. I’ve seen the kindness you’ve shown Madam Xu during this time, but she is now over seven months pregnant, about to give birth, which is one of the most trying times for a woman both mentally and physically. And since this is her first child, she is understandably nervous.”
The butler looked up at Shen Chi, only to see his face still void of any expression.
But Shen Chi did not speak.
The butler went on, “Fourth Young Master, if Xiao Mo can manage the current situation well, I hope to let Xiao Mo handle it. After all, in half a month, Chaomu’s baby will be over eight months old. If you can’t return in half a month, Chaomu’s child may already be born.”
“Fourth Young Master, every woman hopes to have her husband by her side when giving birth, truly, every woman does. If you don’t return, or can’t be by Chaomu’s side, she will be heartbroken for life.”
“Fourth Young Master, I beg you, please stay. Anything can be calmly discussed,” the butler earnestly pleaded. “Chaomu is now over seven months pregnant. She really can’t handle any distress.”
Shen Chi lifted his head, his cool gaze sweeping over the butler, “Did she tell you to say this?”
“No, Fourth Young Master, Madam Xu hasn’t said anything to me, these are truly my own words from the heart.”
“I don’t like being influenced by others,” Shen Chi said gravely.
His gaze still fixed on the butler’s face, he exuded an air of chilliness.
“Fourth Young Master, Madam Xu is really upset today. Although she hasn’t said anything, I can tell she’s very sad.”
The butler felt she was really taking a risk today; she had never dared speak to Shen Chi like this before.
Shen Chi was a man of firm decisions; once he made up his mind, no one could change it.
But she still wanted to try, at least for the sake of Xu Chaomu.
“Leave,” Shen Chi said with a frown.
“Fourth Young Master…”
“Leave!” Shen Chi’s voice grew even heavier.
The butler shook her head, her heart aching. She hadn’t expected Shen Chi to be completely unyielding to her advice.
She could only step back a few paces and replied, “Yes.”
She backed up to the entrance of the living room, but she detected no change in Shen Chi’s determination. Feeling helpless, she stepped out of the living room and closed the door behind Shen Chi.
When she emerged, her heart felt blockaded; burdened with matters she didn’t know whom to share with, she decided to make a phone call to Old Cheng.
“Hello, Old Cheng, are you taking a nap?” the butler asked.

“No, I’m at home. What’s going on, calling me at this hour?” Old Cheng replied.
“Ah, I don’t know how to say this, but I can’t keep it to myself either, I’m really…”
“Then take your time, I’m listening,” said Old Cheng. “It’s about something between the Fourth Young Master and Madam Xu, isn’t it?”
“Yes, you know me best.”
“How could I not understand if I’m with the Fourth Young Master every day? I’ve been with him for so many years, and now, thinking about it, I’ve grown old…” Old Cheng lamented briefly.
“Stop, stop, let’s save the reminiscing for another day. Listen to me first,” she interrupted.
“Go ahead, go ahead,” Old Cheng laughed.
The butler really couldn’t hold it in any longer. Thankfully, Mr. Cheng was there to listen to her, so she told him everything that happened today, not missing a single detail.
After telling everything, she finally felt relieved.
Keeping these things bottled up inside was really upsetting.
Mr. Cheng frowned, “Really? Shen Chi wouldn’t listen to advice at all?”
“You know what Shen Chi’s temper is like. I’ve said all I could, but he just wouldn’t budge.”
“Of course, I know Shen Chi’s temper,” said Mr. Cheng, “but if that’s the case, I’m afraid there’s nothing to be done. Shen Chi is just too dominant.”
“But my heart goes out to Chaomu, you don’t know, the words she said in the small garden today…they were so heartbreaking I wanted to cry…” the butler said urgently.
“You should probably stop trying to persuade, if you push further, Shen Chi might get upset and not recognize you as a friend. Be careful or you might lose your job,” Mr. Cheng advised.
“So we just watch Shen Chi go off to Los Angeles?” the butler said, not convinced.
Mr. Cheng shook his head, “There’s nothing that can be done.”
“Mr. Cheng, do you think Shen Chi is still hung up on the child issue with Chaomu, after all, it’s not Shen Chi’s child. Otherwise, which man would have the heart to leave at such a time?”
“It doesn’t seem like it. Shen Chi has been quite good to Chaomu’s child. When he came back from work last time, he even made a special stop at the bookstore for a while to buy Chaomu some pregnancy books,” analyzed Mr. Cheng.
“Could it really be that he wants to give each other some space?” the butler was skeptical.
“Maybe,” Mr. Cheng said, “How about this, let’s not persuade anymore. Isn’t Mrs. Shen Chi due in half a month? Let’s wait till then. Maybe in half a month, they both will have had a change of heart. Time, sometimes, is truly the best medicine.”
Upon hearing this, the butler felt anxious.
“Mr. Cheng, that won’t do. What if they both end up stuck in a dead end and become even more extreme in their views without figuring things out?”
“What else can be done? Can you convince Shen Chi now?”
The butler fell silent; she couldn’t persuade Shen Chi.
Not just Shen Chi, she couldn’t even persuade Xu Chaomu now.
“Don’t worry. You just take good care of Chaomu. When the time comes to go to Los Angeles, I’ll help to persuade too. Maybe we won’t need half a month for Shen Chi to come around,” he said.
The butler didn’t say anything, but for some reason, she felt a sense of unease.
“It’s fine, don’t worry,” Mr. Cheng was a lot more optimistic than the butler.
Perhaps, men’s minds are not as delicate as women’s, and Mr. Cheng didn’t think the situation was all that serious.
Quarrels and cold wars between young couples are nothing out of the ordinary, especially with newlyweds.
“Don’t worry, the two of them are still in the adjustment period,” Mr. Cheng said. “Think about ourselves and those around us. Who didn’t go through the same thing when they were newly married? If they really didn’t argue, bicker, or have a cold war, that would be abnormal.”
Upon hearing this, the butler thought that made sense. Everyone went through it.
Smooth sailing isn’t really common.
“Butler, I’ve seen a few examples of couples that appeared to be loving, never arguing or getting physical, but in the end, they either had no real affection or they divorced quickly,” Mr. Cheng analyzed. “What do you think?”
Mr. Cheng continued, “So you see, it’s best to let nature take its course. Once they get past the adjustment period, they will naturally be happy.”
“Really, Mr. Cheng?” The butler was still half-doubtful, still lacking confidence.
