Chapter 925: Chapter 925: She Gazed at Him Eagerly
Xu Chaomu took a bite; the taste was very bland, of course not as delicious as the food she usually ate.
“Mm.” Shen Chi was very satisfied.
His profound gaze rested on her face, her eyelashes fluttering gently, her complexion also becoming much rosier, unlike the paleness and weakness she had when she had just come out of the delivery room.
“When did you come back to the country?” Xu Chaomu asked indifferently.
The light shone on her face as Shen Chi stared at her, looking somewhat captivated.
At this moment, Xu Chaomu exuded the aura of a mother, tender and tranquil.
It was just that… every time he thought of that child, Shen Chi’s brows furrowed again.
“Last night,” Shen Chi replied.
“Someone from Waterside Pavilion called you, but you didn’t answer,” Xu Chaomu said with a calm tone, but still, there was a slight hint of resentment.
“I was just with Ji Shengxuan and didn’t hear it, I’m truly sorry,” Shen Chi said softly.
“Is that so?” Xu Chaomu said disdainfully.
“Mm…” The corner of Shen Chi’s mouth twitched, “If you don’t believe me, I can call Ji Shengxuan right now and have him vouch for me.”
“Sure, you call.”
Shen Chi’s face was covered with a scowl; he thought Xu Chaomu would say “never mind,” but instead, she told him to make the call.
But, with nothing to hide, he had done nothing to betray her, so he wasn’t afraid to make the call.
Shen Chi put down the lunchbox and actually took out his phone.
“I’m calling Shengxuan right now.” Shen Chi found Ji Shengxuan’s number and dialed it immediately.
“Hang up,” Xu Chaomu said.
“Hm?”
“Who doesn’t know that Ji Shengxuan and you are birds of a feather; none of you are good people,” Xu Chaomu repeated.
“…” Shen Chi cut off the call, his face filled with helplessness.
He picked up the spoon again and fed her a bite of very thin rice cereal, saying, “I was discussing a shopping street project with him, we were really hitting it off, so I didn’t notice the phone.”
Xu Chaomu didn’t say anything, her eyes cast down on the bedsheet.
Night was falling deeper, and everywhere was sinking into quietness and stillness.
Xu Chaomu did not speak, and when Shen Chi tried to feed her the rice cereal again, she refused to eat.
Shen Chi frowned; where had he upset her again?
After thinking it over, he decided to come clean, “I returned last night, but I sat outside Waterside Pavilion in the car all night. I visited you in the morning at Waterside Pavilion. I planned to give each other some space, to find you after a few days, but I didn’t expect this to happen.”
Xu Chaomu still did not speak, just kept looking at the bedsheet.
“I didn’t lie to you,” Shen Chi said.
Xu Chaomu remained silent, her long hair draping over her shoulders, her whole being quiet and graceful.
Shen Chi was at a loss, he slapped his forehead, full of silent agony.
“I apologize,” Shen Chi also lowered his head.
Xu Chaomu ignored him, her gaze falling on Wealth, who was scurrying around the room in high spirits.
A sense of loss suddenly filled Xu Chaomu’s heart. Other expecting mothers got to see their babies the first moment, but she couldn’t, she could only watch a little puppy.
A dry smile spread across her lips; she missed her baby so much…
With that thought, bitterness filled her heart, rising to her throat, making it impossible for her to speak.
Shen Chi saw her like this and felt very distressed; not only was she in turmoil, but his heart was also uneasy.
He grabbed her hand in one motion, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, “Tired?”
Xu Chaomu shook her head, remaining silent.
Just as he was speaking, the door of the room was knocked. The doctor outside said, “I am Dr. Li.”
“Come in,” Shen Chi replied indifferently.
The doctor and several nurses entered, nodding at Shen Chi and said softly, “Sir, please step outside for a moment. We need to examine the patient.”
“Hmm.”
Shen Chi stood up and glanced at Xu Chaomu on the bed.
He didn’t expect that this girl had been holding onto his hand the whole time, unwilling to let go.
She gazed at him with such longing in her eyes, revealing an air of reluctance to part.
Shen Chi’s heart warmed; he hadn’t expected Xu Chaomu to cling to him, as he thought she had been very dissatisfied with him of late. Perhaps, he had been too suspicious.
He patted the back of her hand and comforted her, “It will be over soon, don’t be afraid. I’ll be right outside.”
Xu Chaomu’s wound hurt, and she couldn’t speak, but still looked at him with yearning.
Shen Chi felt helpless; Xu Chaomu looking like this made his heart ache.
He had no choice but to gently pull away her hand and bent down to kiss her forehead.
He whispered in her ear, “Mumu, don’t be afraid.”
This time, although Xu Chaomu still wanted to hold him, Shen Chi walked away, not letting her touch him. He didn’t dare to look back, striding out and closing the door behind him.
At this moment, Xu Chaomu’s empty and pale gaze was so heart-wrenching to him, it felt like a knife was twisting in his chest.
He couldn’t bear to look anymore.
Seeing Shen Chi come out, the butler approached and asked, “Young Master Shen, how is Chaomu doing? Is her mood any better?”
“It’s okay.”
“That’s good, that’s good. I was really afraid that the girl might have troubling thoughts,” the butler said softly.
Shen Chi did not say anything further. He made a call to check on the little bun. A few doctors with excellent medical skills had already arrived, and they were examining the child’s health.

But they were only taking some immediate measures; a thorough investigation would take time.
Shen Chi deeply understood the yearning in Xu Chaomu’s heart; she wanted to see her baby at first glance, just like any other mother.
He knew that she had formed a deep bond with the little one.
However, he also felt helpless.
After ending the call, Shen Chi walked back, his expression colder and more serious.
“Has the cause of Chaomu’s premature birth been investigated?” Shen Chi asked coldly.
The butler lowered his head, “I’ve had people check everything the Young Mistress has eaten or touched in the last two days. We suspect it might be due to consuming the wrong thing.”
“Is that all?”
“This morning, Young Mistress added oatmeal to her milk. The oatmeal was a gift from Young Mistress Mo. At that time, Young Mistress Mo also gave her many snacks,” the butler reported truthfully.
“Mo Shuifu?”
“Yes.” The butler continued, “Preliminary testing of the milk residue suggests the issue might be with the milk and oatmeal.”
“I see.”
“Young Master, the specific cause is hard to confirm; we can only suspect for now,” the butler added.
Shen Chi’s brows furrowed slightly, his expression solemn and tense in the dim corridor.
Suddenly, he remembered, last night, when he drove to Waterside Pavilion, he seemed to have seen Shen Shihan’s car.
“Who came to Waterside Pavilion last night?” Shen Chi inquired.
“Miss Mo stayed at Waterside Pavilion for three days, and last night Young Master Shen came to pick her up. They left around nine in the evening,” Xiaoyue from Waterside Pavilion replied. “A few days ago, Miss Yu also paid a visit.”
Shen Chi’s face darkened, Shen Shihan…
If he found out that this incident had any connection to Shen Shihan, he would not let him off easily!
