Chapter 904 -904: Who was the woman that night?
“Fourth Young Madam, we’re really worried. You mustn’t have any accidents. Please go to the hospital,” Xiaoyue said worriedly.
“I’m fine,” Chaomu’s stomach had already stopped hurting and she wasn’t vomiting anymore.
After drinking a few sips of hot water, she glanced out the window.
It was still a foggy blur outside; nothing could be seen clearly. The fog was really heavy today. She checked the time and it was already 7:10 in the morning.
Shen Chi’s plane must be delayed, but she didn’t need to worry about him. He had dozens of people concerned about him by his side.
After taking a few more sips of water, she sat up in bed with Xiaoyue’s help.
It was still warm under the covers; after lying down, she dismissed them: “Go do your jobs, and if there’s nothing to do, go to sleep. It’s just me here; you all don’t need to be so tense.”
“Fourth Young Madam, then please rest. If you really feel uncomfortable, you must tell us immediately,” they said.
“Alright.”
Having no choice, Xiaoyue and Yunyun left Chaomu’s room. They didn’t dare call the butler due to Chaomu’s instructions.
However, as soon as they left, Chaomu opened her eyes.
She picked up her phone and swiped through the weather on the screen.

The screen displayed a fog warning; visibility was very low today, and caution was advised for traveling.
Chaomu then checked the flight schedule from C City to Los Angeles; there was a flight at 8 a.m. By this time, Shen Chi should have already been at the airport, but the plane definitely couldn’t take off yet.
She didn’t know why she was checking these things. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, and her hand slid across it involuntarily.
After all the turmoil she had endured, she was very tired now. As she watched, she closed her eyes.
Accidentally, the phone fell onto her face, startling Chaomu awake again. She helplessly cursed herself as a “fool.”
After putting away her phone, she finally snuggled back under the covers.
The fog only gradually cleared around 10 a.m., but the weather remained gloomy.
Xiao Mo had been discussing the merger and acquisition case with Shen Chi at the Shen Family’s residence. Since they had changed their flight, neither of them was in a hurry.
By afternoon, the haze had completely dispersed, the sun had come out, and the weather was clear; the sky turned exceptionally blue.
Xiao Mo had a meal at the Shen’s, and during the meal, he deliberately pretended to be oblivious and asked, “President Shen, why haven’t I seen the Mrs. today?”
“She went to a friend’s house,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
Xiao Mo couldn’t help but feel resigned; he didn’t expose Shen Chi’s lie. At least, this man cared a great deal about saving face.
The rescheduled flight was at three o’clock in the afternoon.
The members of the Shen Group had received notice to wait for Shen Chi at the airport early. This time, they were all heading to Los Angeles together.
The butler originally wanted to see Shen Chi off, but he didn’t allow it, simply telling her, “Go check on her.”
After saying that, Shen Chi left.
The butler understood that the Fourth Young Master was instructing her to check on Chaomu.
Only after Shen Chi had gone did the butler express her regret, “Couldn’t he just not go?”
But, Shen Chi still left.
The flight from C City to Los Angeles took twelve hours. By the time Shen Chi and his group arrived, it would be three o’clock in the morning back home.
The plane took off at 3:10 in the afternoon.
Xiao Mo sat beside Shen Chi and glanced at him, suddenly realizing something.
Once he understood, a smile curled at the corner of Xiao Mo’s lips.
On the plane, Shen Chi wasn’t busying himself with work but instead closed his eyes to rest and lay down.
However, he still noticed Xiao Mo’s light laugh; he wasn’t asleep after all.
“What are you laughing at?” Shen Chi asked indifferently, his tone absent of any emotion.
“President Shen, you care about your reputation.”
“Don’t randomly guess the boss’s thoughts,” Shen Chi said with his eyes closed, his face expressionless.
Upon such observation, Xiao Mo became even more convinced that Shen Chi indeed cared about his reputation.
Even though he really wanted to stay deep down, what’s said is said, like water that’s been thrown out. Besides, a gentleman’s word is his bond; having said he would go to Los Angeles, how could he not go?
No wonder he had instructed him this morning to arrange all major events into a timeline for him, to be discussed in tomorrow’s meeting.
Shen Chi was in such a rush, Xiao Mo boldly conjectured that Shen Chi would definitely be back in the country within three days.
He felt that, after all these years of following Shen Chi, if Shen Chi wasn’t a bit haughty, he wouldn’t be Shen Chi.
He glanced again at Shen Chi beside him, said nothing, and silently opened his documents.
After looking for a while, Xiao Mo’s eyes felt too dry, and he too lay down, closing his eyes to rest.
However, he couldn’t fall asleep.
He thought about what Shen Chi had tasked him with that morning, to investigate the night at the Paris hotel.
As soon as he thought of that incident, Xiao Mo felt it really confirmed the saying that even the wisest can make mistakes.
It all went back to Shen Chi sending him to Sumatra Island to find Xu Chaomu; otherwise, Jian Sisi wouldn’t have been accompanying him to the meeting, nor would she have had the opportunity to drug him.
Of course, Shen Chi himself had been negligent too, probably preoccupied with the thought that it was his wedding anniversary that day.
Xiao Mo had witnessed the whole saga of Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu’s relationship, and deep down, he hoped they would end up well together.
Thinking this, he shook his head gently.
Suddenly… he remembered, on the day the trade show ended, Xu Chaomu asked him if he had a secret crush.
A secret crush… Did he have one? Yes, he did…
The corners of Xiao Mo’s mouth fell, and he sighed deeply in his heart.
The greatest distance in the world isn’t life or death, but being right next to each other yet worlds apart.
Right next to each other, yet worlds apart… And yet, he was powerless to change it.
He cut off his train of thought, refocusing on the tasks Shen Chi had given him.
A thought struck him, and he went over the whole matter again.
Jian Sisi had drugged Shen Chi and plied him with drinks, but Shen Chi went into the wrong room and had a one-night stand with a woman he didn’t recognize. Afterwards, Jian Sisi found out and deliberately deceived Shen Chi.
Shen Chi was naturally impatient with such affairs, and surely he didn’t pay much attention to it afterwards.
However, he had also asked Jian Sisi last time, and Jian Sisi did not know who the woman was that night.
Moreover, now that Jian Sisi was dead, there was no way to find out further details.
Xiao Mo thought about it, and the lead was still broken.
It seemed that someone would have to go to Paris to check.
But so much time had passed that there were likely very few people at the hotel who would remember the incident, making this a very difficult task.
If Jian Sisi were still alive, he could have asked her for some details. After all, given how much she feared death, he would have been able to get results just by asking.
Unfortunately, Jian Sisi, a key person involved, was also dead.
Xiao Mo’s brain was whirring, and he thought of Xu Chaomu again…
Xu Chaomu had told Shen Chi her child was his…
Xu Chaomu’s child…
Suddenly, a light bulb went on for Xiao Mo; Xu Chaomu’s child was now just over seven months old, and it had been just over seven months since the incident at the Paris hotel.
Could it really be possible?
