Her tone was very calm, and her meaning was very clear.

Her baby was gone, and it meant that many things had lost their significance.

“I understand,” Xiao Mo nodded.

He knew what her words meant, not to investigate the video incident any further, nor to delve into her premature delivery. Her child was no more, and everything had become meaningless.

Yet, he really wanted to say, “Silly girl.”

“Xiao Mo, actually, I think of many things very simply, so, I’m not suited for a life that’s too complicated.”

Xiao Mo furrowed his brows, “Chaomu…”

“It’s okay, you go on with your work,” Xu Chaomu said.

After saying this, she turned and walked towards the stairwell.

Xiao Mo watched her ascend the stairs and kept looking until she vanished at the top, out of sight.

Xu Chaomu was a girl with simple thoughts, yet being with Shen Chi meant her life was destined not to be peaceful, it was inevitable.

But Xu Chaomu’s words gave Xiao Mo an unusual feeling in his heart, unsuited for a life that’s too complicated?

Xiao Mo withdrew some of the thoughts in his own mind, and after watching Xu Chaomu go upstairs, he left the Shen Family living room.

His car was parked outside the Shen Family villa, and as he came out, Shen Chi and the others were still on the lawn.

As soon as he got into his car, he saw the video he had left on the passenger seat. Without a second thought, he tossed the video materials into the trunk.

That night, Xiao Mo called Shen Chi.

“President Shen, there’s news from Paris,” Xiao Mo said.

“Go ahead,” Shen Chi replied gravely.

“The person in charge there told me that, due to the time lapse and privacy considerations, a lot of the hotel’s records have been destroyed. So, President Shen, I am sorry, I haven’t found what you wanted.”

Shen Chi was silent, his eyes deep and dark as abyssal waters, looking out the window.

“President Shen, I truly apologize,” Xiao Mo, unable to hear the voice on the other side, repeated.

“No need to look any further,” Shen Chi said after a while.

Xiao Mo was somewhat surprised; with Shen Chi’s personality, he should have at least asked once: Even if it has been a long time, isn’t there a single trace?

Xiao Mo had even thought about how to respond to Shen Chi’s question, but now Shen Chi was saying there was no need to search any longer.

Having followed Shen Chi for so long, Xiao Mo thought he knew him like the back of his hand, but this reaction from Shen Chi was still unexpected.

“President Shen, if you give me more time…” Xiao Mo started.

“No need to look further!” Shen Chi raised his voice and repeated.

“Yes, understood.”

Whether this matter had a result or no result, it wasn’t important to him.

Now, what he wanted to do most was to be with Xu Chaomu.

“The day after tomorrow, I will go to Australia with Chaomu. You’re in charge of everything in China. If there’s nothing major, no need to report to me,” Shen Chi said.

“Understood.”

Shen Chi hung up the phone and stood by the window looking at the distant sky.

Xiao Mo too threw his phone aside. Indeed, he wouldn’t investigate the Paris incident any further. But, the matter of Xu Chaomu’s premature delivery, he would find out the truth! Even now, with the trail gone cold and Xu Chaomu not showing much interest in knowing the truth, he would still investigate to the end.

If the truth turned out to be as bad as Shen Chi had said, he would bury it in his heart forever.

But if not, he, Xiao Mo, would be the first to make sure the responsible party wouldn’t get away with it!

He did as he said.

It was now 7:30 p.m., the night was cool as water. Outside, the howling north wind blew, causing the windows and tree branches to make a rustling noise.

Xiao Mo’s house was very large, but he was the only one in it, which made it seem particularly empty.

In the courtyard, the moonlight was diffused, a river-like beam of light pouring onto the stone table in the yard and the corridor, all was unusually serene.

He got up and poured himself a cup of coffee, sitting alone on the living room carpet in his thick robe, silently watching the world outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Gradually, the scene before his eyes became blurry, replaced by a beautiful smiling face.

When asked if he had a secret crush, he dismissed it with a laugh.

Looking back now, a crush was a one-person chaos, a forever alone…

The rich aroma of coffee wafted to his nose. Usually at this time, he would be working, but today, all he wanted to do was sit like this.

The day after tomorrow, Shen Chi would accompany Xu Chaomu to Australia, and he would go all out to investigate the truth behind Xu Chaomu’s premature birth.

However, tomorrow was New Year’s Day, the start of a new year.

At this moment, fireworks continued to light up in the sky, colorful and dazzling.

Xiao Mo looked up, watching the fleeting fireworks, and unexpectedly a smile formed on his lips.

The fireworks may be brief, but the moment they bloom is beautiful.

It’s a new year, everything is brand new, everything is worth looking forward to.

“Pop”, the fireworks bloomed in the sky, like a vividly colored flower, adding countless glows to the heavens in their splendor.

He looked up at the sky like this, the scent of coffee wafting to his nose, and in this moment, he suddenly felt that with the new year, everything would get better.

When countless fireworks gathered in the sky, the night had deepened.

All around was silent, one could clearly hear the sound of fireworks bursting in the air, pop, pop!

When the New Year’s bell struck on time, he looked out the window, curved his lips, and softly said to the fireworks, “Happy New Year.”

A year’s time, a day’s longing.

Meanwhile, at Shen Family’s place, the servants also set off fireworks in the villa.

Although it was New Year’s Day, not the Lunar New Year, Butle Lin insisted they make it festive.

Xu Chaomu had dinner with Shen Chi in the evening; Shen Chi had cooked dinner himself after she had playfully whined for some time, convincing him to cook.

Someone felt truly aggrieved, but at mealtime, Xu Chaomu didn’t let him down either, feeding him several mouthfuls of food by hand.

After dinner, Xu Chaomu nestled on the bedroom sofa, curling up like a little cat.

She wrapped herself in a blanket like a cocoon, unmoving as she watched outside the window.

When Shen Chi came to her room, he saw her silly, adorable figure and couldn’t help but laugh.

It had been a long time since he had seen Xu Chaomu like this…

“Xu Chaomu, do you know what you look like right now?” Shen Chi laughed, giving her an extra look.

Xu Chaomu turned her head and said disdainfully, “Are you going to be sarcastic again?”

This man always had a sharp tongue; she had known this about him since the first day they met.

Shen Chi approached, sat down beside her with a light laugh, and suddenly embraced her, “You look like a cat I’m raising.”

Shen Chi wrapped her in his arms from behind, his large hand clasping her waist firmly, not letting her move.

The thick blanket didn’t feel good enough to touch through, so he slowly moved his hand inside.

Shen Chi had just taken a bath; as soon as he came close, Xu Chaomu could smell a faint fragrance and that distinct masculine hormone scent from him.
