Chapter 197: Keep the Marriage Certificate



“Yes.” Shen Chi’s lips slowly curved up.

Xiao Mo couldn’t help but marvel at how deeply the old fox, Shen Chi, had hidden his feelings. Xiao Mo had been by his side for many years, and if it wasn’t for this incident, he probably wouldn’t have realized how much Shen Chi cherished someone.

“Congratulations, President Shen.” Xiao Mo smiled.

It was indeed rare to see a smile on Shen Chi’s face.

“Xiao Mo, park the car somewhere quiet, I have something to tell you.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Mo drove the car out of the Civil Affairs Bureau’s garage and headed to a secluded area along the road.

Shen Chi held the marriage certificate and couldn’t help but look at it a few more times.

In the photo, Xu Chaomu smiled beautifully—when she smiled, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

His fingertips gently slid across her cheek, as if she was right in front of him.

Xiao Mo soon parked the car, knowing Shen Chi definitely had something important to say.

Shen Chi slowly wrapped up the marriage certificate, carefully and meticulously, and checked it over again after wrapping it up.

“Xiao Mo, you’ve followed me for quite a few years. In Shen Group, the person I trust the most is you.”

Shen Chi began to speak slowly, his tone strong and forceful.

Xiao Mo turned his head and saw the depth and seriousness on Shen Chi’s face.

This man could stay utterly sober-minded even when drunk.

Probably, only Miss Xu could make him lose control.

“President Shen, your cultivation and trust in Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo will never forget.”

“Keep this marriage certificate.” Shen Chi solemnly handed the two marriage certificates, placed together, to Xiao Mo.

“This…” Xiao Mo couldn’t fathom Shen Chi’s intentions.

“Going to South Africa this time, you should know, there’s a fifty percent chance of success. I, Shen Chi, am a mortal, not a deity; I will strive with all my might, but that does not mean I will definitely win.”

“Yes, I know,” Xiao Mo spoke. “So, President Shen, let me go, and you stay in C City.”

The South African diamond mine had many groups coveting it. It wouldn’t be surprising if someone resorted to despicable means.

Moreover, that place was said to be rather chaotic.

“Things concerning me, Shen Chi, are not yet at the point where I need my brothers to risk their lives for me.” Shen Chi looked at Xiao Mo, his tone strong and assertive.

Xiao Mo’s heart warmed; Shen Chi had always treated him like a brother.

“Then what do you mean, President Shen?”

“If, and I say if, I have an accident in South Africa and can’t return, destroy this marriage certificate.”

Although his voice was usually strong and vigorous, it sounded exceptionally tragic this time.

“It’s impossible, President Shen, with our thorough arrangements and deployment, such a scenario won’t happen,” Xiao Mo’s throat choked up.

Despite saying so, he knew the possibility Shen Chi mentioned could very well exist.

“Don’t I know myself? I’m not yet so powerful that I can control everything.”

“President Shen…”

“Let me finish.” Shen Chi spoke sharply. “I’ve already taken care of things with Director Zhang. If this marriage certificate is destroyed, it won’t affect her in any way. She can still marry just as well.”

Xiao Mo, of course, understood who “she” was and felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

“Of course, if I return safely from South Africa, give me back the marriage certificate.”

“President Shen, everything will definitely go smoothly. When I get back to the group today, I’ll make further arrangements to ensure that everything is foolproof.”

“If things can go smoothly, that would be best.”

Shen Chi leaned back in the rear seat, suddenly overwhelmed with boundless sentimentality.

“President Shen, what do you plan to do about the Bai family?”

Xiao Mo realized that Shen Chi had no intention of marrying Miss Bai. Then what about the upcoming wedding date on the eighth of the next month, the day the Shen family and Bai family were meant to join in marriage?

“Bai Man once told me she loved me. She wanted to be my girlfriend, wanted me to announce our relationship in front of everyone, and wanted to be affectionate with me as normal couples are. I know the Shen family already owes the Bai family a favor, but that’s all I can give her,” Shen Chi said.

Xiao Mo understood; in the eyes of outsiders, Bai Man was Shen Chi’s darling.

But in reality, only the person involved knew the truth.

As for the favor the Shen family owed the Bai family, although Xiao Mo didn’t know what it entailed.

“I, Shen Chi, am not a perfect person. I’ve given these things to Bai Man. Of course, Old Master Bai has also given me, Shen Chi, significant financial support. So, I guess I’m somewhat despicable.”

“No, President Shen, how can that be despicable…”

Xiao Mo hadn’t finished speaking when Shen Chi chuckled to himself: “You don’t know, during that time, I had such bad fights with this girl; I almost wanted to just break off all contact with her.”

After finishing, Shen Chi took another indulgent look at the marriage certificate in Xiao Mo’s hands.

“At that time, I regretted spoiling her so much. She even dared to scold and deceive me. So, you see, when I announced my relationship with Bai Man during that period, it was partly out of spite. Xiao Mo, do you think I’m childish?”

After a long silence, Xiao Mo said, “You really care too much about Miss Xu.”

“Raising her has been the most loss-making thing I’ve done in my life; I’ve invested my whole self in it,” Shen Chi’s lips slowly curved up.

Hearing this, Xiao Mo smiled.

“President Shen, Miss Xu doesn’t seem to appreciate it; she seems unaware of your intentions.”

“No matter, if I return safely from South Africa, I’ll have to deal with her properly,” Shen Chi’s eyes and brows smiled, as charming as the drizzle of peach blossoms in March.

After speaking, there was a moment of silence.

“But before that, I can’t give her a certain promise,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

So, many, many times that he wanted her, he held back. If he couldn’t return safely from South Africa, at least she would still be whole, and she could still marry someone else.

“President Shen, I will take a long-term view and make meticulous arrangements for the South African project. I won’t overlook any slight movement.”

Xiao Mo thought that was all he could do.

“Mhm.”

“President Shen, if I may ask boldly, what do you plan to do on the eighth of next month?”

“I have my own plans.”

Xiao Mo didn’t ask further, knowing what he needed to do—keep the two marriage certificates safe.

He hoped he could return them intact to Shen Chi.

No, he definitely could.

“Drive to the Waterside Pavillion in the West Suburb.”

“Alright.” Xiao Mo responded.

Xiao Mo knew that the Waterside Pavillion in the West Suburb was a small villa Shen Chi had purchased. The scenery was elegant, the location understated, and the interior decor was vintage and luxurious—very suitable for a family of three.

This small villa, transacted through him, was a place Shen Chi particularly liked.

Xiao Mo had previously wondered why a bachelor like Shen Chi would need such a villa, but now it seemed there was another purpose.

“President Shen, rest well at the Waterside Pavillion. Leave the affairs of the group to me.”

“Mhm.”

Shen Chi was finally tired; he had come to understand something— he owed Xu Chaomu from a previous life.

She dared to leave the hospital without a word of notice this time. And furthermore, she dared to hug and cuddle with a man at the airport.

If it weren’t for the orphanage director saying that he was just a visiting teacher, Shen Chi would have been unable to control his emotions again.

Yet, for a man to be at this point was rather pathetic.

Shen Chi felt helpless, but what could he do?
