I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack Chapter 4

Shen Ruojing decelerated her pace.

A grin then surfaced on her face. She hadn't anticipated experiencing such intense homesickness.

She accelerated her steps again. Yet, when she was merely two meters from Chu Cichen, two bodyguards emerged and obstructed her path.

Unfazed, she posed the key question right away, “Are you planning to get engaged to Lin Wanru?”

If this rumor held truth, there was no point digging deeper.

Shen Ruojing possessed the strength to move on without hesitation.

She had pursued him relentlessly for years just to uncover the truth.

Chu Cichen lounged on the sofa. His stunning features were flawlessly captivating. Dressed in a bespoke suit with impeccable tailoring, he radiated an aura of refined elegance.

At the mention of Lin Wanru, he furrowed his brow faintly and answered, “No.”

Relief flickered in Shen Ruojing’s gaze upon hearing that. She pressed on, “Where have you been these past years?”

Chu Cichen’s icy phoenix eyes glanced over her indifferently. Then, he nudged the tiny, cute Chu Xiaomeng forward and said tonelessly, “Miss Chen, please take your daughter.”

Miss Shen…

This distant, chilly address made Shen Ruojing realize something was amiss.

Chu Xiaomeng, pushed upfront, doubtfully inquired, “Mommy, why does Daddy claim he doesn’t know you?”

Shen Ruojing froze. “You don’t know me?”

A flash of irritation crossed Chu Cichen’s eyes. “Why should I know you?”

He had just left the airport when this little girl latched onto his leg, calling him Daddy and refusing to release him. Left with no choice, he contacted the child’s mother.

To his surprise, the woman acted bizarrely familiar upon arrival.

As he mulled this over, Shen Ruojing deftly sidestepped the guards and lunged toward him.

“Mr. Chu, watch out!”

The bodyguards shouted in alarm, but she had already slipped by. Suddenly, Chu Cichen’s eyes sharpened as his wrists got pinned. Shen Ruojing settled beside him and…checked his pulse?

A delicate finger pressed against his lips. Her stunning face loomed close, those alluring peach blossom eyes brimming with allure. “Shh.”

These eyes felt oddly familiar…Stunned, Chu Cichen stayed silent.

The nearby bodyguards were dumbfounded too. Should they intervene or look away?

Half a minute passed.

The finger moved from his lips to his forehead, pressing there.

She paused before saying, “No fever, and no signs of amnesia from trauma…”

Shen Ruojing eyed him sharply. “Are you faking it now?”

His face darkened instantly. He shot to his feet, retreating to widen the gap. “Miss Shen, mind your conduct.”

Lounging against the sofa, Shen Ruojing tilted her head, her lovely lashes fluttering. “I bore your children, and this is what you say to me?”

The guards and Lu Cheng were both shocked. Lu Cheng, familiar with Sea City, recognized the Shen family’s eldest daughter and blurted, “Shen Ruojing, is Bro Chen the missing boyfriend you mentioned?”

Shen Ruojing affirmed, “Yes.”

Lu Cheng found it baffling. “But Bro Chen only came back once in five years, for just a week. Didn’t you say you dated your boyfriend for half a year? Or was it online with Bro Chen?”

Shen Ruojing straightened slowly. “He’s been in Sea City all along. We met for dates every weekend…”

Lu Cheng: “Your story’s too sloppy. Didn’t I say he was abroad? Try crafting a better tale.”

Shen Ruojing creased her brow. (He was abroad all this time?)

Yet she vividly recalled their dating moments!

Could she have mistaken his identity?

Confident in her recognition, but to confirm, she rose and told Chu Cichen, “I’ll run a DNA test first, then return.”

With that, she departed.

While checking his pulse earlier, she’d plucked a hair strand. She slipped it into a bag from her pocket. Then she headed home to fetch her son for the DNA center.

Chu Tianye, waiting at home for updates, peered behind her and scanned around. “Mommy, where’s my sister?”

Shen Ruojing: “???”

Her socially anxious daughter seldom went out. Had she accidentally left her behind?

–

In the airport’s VIP lounge.

The guards bowed their heads. “We failed to stop Miss Shen—our fault!”

Chu Cichen’s face was stern. “No leniency next time.”

“Understood!”

Lu Cheng probed cautiously, “Bro Chen, what about this child?”

Chu Cichen glanced down at Chu Xiaomeng clutching his shirt. She gazed up with pure, trusting eyes full of affection. Softening despite his anger, he asked, “Where do you live?”

Chu Xiaomeng shook her head. “Daddy, I don’t know.”

“Stop calling me Daddy.”

“Alright, Daddy.”

“…”

A vein pulsed on Chu Cichen’s temple. “Fine, take her to my place first.”

They piled into the waiting cars.

En route, socially phobic Chu Xiaomeng sat quietly in her safety seat, minimizing her presence. Her face shifted captivatingly from thrill to uncertainty.

Wow, such joy—she was heading to Daddy’s house.

But Daddy’s family must be enormous…so intimidating!

Chu Cichen noted her subtle expressions and found her quite endearing.

They reached Chu Manor shortly.

Chu Xiaomeng had dozed off, her small head lolling sideways.

Chu Cichen paused before lifting her out as he exited.

Matriarch Chu, nearly 50 but meticulously youthful, stepped forward. “Cichen, you’re back at last…”

Spotting the child in his arms, she gasped. “Who’s this?”

Instinctively, Matriarch Chu reached to take Chu Xiaomeng. But the movement roused the little one.

She rubbed her big eyes and beheld…crowds of people!

Chu Xiaomeng promptly buried her face in Matriarch Chu’s chest.

Matriarch Chu: “!”

The child was utterly charming, with a milky scent that melted Matriarch Chu’s heart. She cooed, “Little girl, where’re you from?”

Chu Xiaomeng: “Elder sister…I’m from Daddy’s house.”

Her brother had instructed: always call pretty ladies ‘elder sister’ in social settings!

Delighted, Matriarch Chu turned to Chu Cichen. “Another ‘romantic debt’ from your escapades abroad?”

There was purpose in her ‘another’.

Five years prior, Chu Cichen visited for a week, fell victim to a scheme, and slept with a woman.

Ten months on, Lin Wanru arrived at the Chu Family with her baby.

DNA confirmed the child was Chu Cichen’s!

Matriarch Chu couldn’t abandon Chu blood outside, so she raised him as Chu Yu.

Recalling this, her eyes returned to Chu Xiaomeng. “Sweetie, who’s your mommy?”

Chu Xiaomeng answered, “Shen Ruojing.”

Matriarch Chu’s brow knit. Shen Ruojing again?

She recalled today’s banquet chaos with Shen Ruojing and her son. Yet eyeing the lovable Chu Xiaomeng, Matriarch Chu mused it’d be wonderful if she were truly her granddaughter.

Matriarch Chu abruptly declared, “Run a DNA test.”
