Chapter 129: You Aren’t Pure, I’m Not Chaste. We’re A Perfect Match!

Madam Yan sneered. “Who can you be?”
Yan Zihao, who was next to her, tugged at her arm, finding this embarrassing. “He is Chu Cimo.”
“What?”
Madam Yan was dumbfounded.
In Sea City, there might still be people who didn’t know who Chu Cichen was. After all, the name Chu Cichen had been kept a very good secret and was only revealed to the public recently.
Despite this, there still wasn’t much news about him.
However, everyone knew who Chu Cimo was!
Wasn’t he that profligate young master from the Chu Family?!
Amongst the well-off families in Sea City, who wouldn’t want their kids to have a good relationship with Chu Cimo? As long as Chu Cimo gave the word and had the Chu Family give them some insignificant help, it’d be enough to let their small-scale businesses survive.
The Yan Family wasn’t considered a major family, thus Madam Yan had long since heard of Chu Cimo’s great reputation!
She stared at the man in front of her in astonishment.
The man’s phoenix eyes looked a little familiar, and he looked very exquisite from top to bottom. A young master like him had to be nurtured by a family with a certain amount of financial assets.
Hence, Madam Yan gulped and then said in disbelief, “Mr. Chu, she’s not only fat and ugly, but she has also lost her chastity and bore a child for our family. How could you take a liking to a woman like her?”
Madam Yan really found this hard to understand!
Chu Cimo asked her instead, “This is the type I like. Do you have any problems with that?”
“…” What problem could Madam Yan have?!
With Chu Cimo here, neither Madam Yan nor Yan Zihao dared to kick up a fuss. The two of them exchanged a glance, and then Yan Zihao took a look at the operating theater before saying, “We’ll put aside the divorce for now. Since Xiaoqi is fine, we’ll be leaving first.”
Madam Yan wanted to say more, but Yan Zihao stopped her. “Xiaoqi is now sick. Are you going to take care of her in the future?”
Madam Yan immediately said, “It’s not as if she doesn’t have a mother. Why do I have to be the one to take care of her?”
Taking care of a child was a tiring job.
Moreover, Madam Yan had always despised the fact that Xiaoqi was a girl.
The two of them left without even leaving any money for the medical expenses.
After the doctor stopped the bleeding and sewed up the wound, Yan Xiaoqi was pushed out of the emergency room. However, as she had lost too much blood, the doctor decided to have her stay in the hospital for observations. Knowing this, Chu Cimo ran around helping Bai Shanshan to pay the fees and called to get people to make arrangements for Yan Xiaoqi to stay in a VIP ward.
After all the preparations were done, he headed out to buy dinner for them.
Bai Shanshan took care of Yan Xiaoqi and fed her dinner. And after a while, the child fell asleep.
Only then did Bai Shanshan heave a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Chu Cimo pointed to the other bed in the VIP ward and said to her, “You should get some rest too. I’ll help you keep an eye on her. Also, the doctor has said that everything’s fine.”
Bai Shanshan shook her head and replied in a gentle tone, “You should go back. There’s no need for so many people to stay here.”
“It’s fine.”
Chu Cimo sat on the sofa and took out his phone. “I’m a night owl. I spend my day sleeping and my night playing games. You can sleep. I’ll play games while staying by your side.”
For some reason, looking at the youth from back then seated on the sofa and taking out his phone to open up Honor of Kings*, Bai Shanshan suddenly felt at ease.
She then walked over to the other bed and lay down, but she couldn’t fall asleep.
It was because her mind was filled with the words that Chu Cimo had said today.
Bai Shanshan didn’t know how much time had passed before she finally fell asleep.
Only after her breathing became regular did Chu Cimo quit the game. He then stood up to turn the lights in the room dimmer before looking at Bai Shanshan.
She seemed to have become slimmer again, no longer looking like a bun like the first time he saw her again after so many years.
The outline of her face was gradually showing up, and her eyes were opening up slowly as well. It was a pair of docile-looking almond eyes.
Chu Cimo then glanced at the little girl on the other bed. With her eyes closed, her nose and mouth shared some resemblance with Bai Shanshan’s. She looked very docile too.
His lips twitched as he sighed.
He didn’t mind helping Bai Shanshan to raise a child, but having a stepdaughter was a little troublesome. If only this was his blood-related child.
Chu Cimo then turned and returned to the sofa.
He had just sat down when he heard rustling sounds coming from the smaller bed. He saw that the child had woken up. She sat up and looked at Bai Shanshan, who was on the accompanying bed. She was about to call out to her when Chu Cimo immediately shushed her. He walked over and asked, “What is it?”
The child said timidly, “I…I want to go to the toilet.”
“… Then go. You’re already five years old. Don’t you know how to go to the toilet by yourself?”
Chu Cimo was speechless. His nephews and niece were also five years old, but they had never asked to be accompanied when going to the toilet!
Yan Xiaoqi’s pupils constricted and her small face looked horrified.
However, when she met Chu Cimo’s strict gaze, she dragged her leg and made her way slowly down the bed.
She then skipped her way to the toilet…
Chu Cimo was worried that she’d wake Bai Shanshan up, so he decided to carry her directly and sent her to the toilet’s door. “Go on.”
“…” Yan Xiaoqi looked at him and said, “You go out.”
Chu Cimo rolled his eyes. “Little girls are so troublesome! I often use the toilet together with my nephews!”
Chu Cimo left the toilet while mumbling.
After a while, the door opened and Yan Xiaoqi walked out with her head lowered. Chu Cimo then picked her up and placed her down on the bed. He was about to return to the sofa when Yan Xiaoqi grabbed onto his sleeve and suddenly said, “After Mommy and Daddy get divorced, I’ll stay with Daddy.”
Chu Cimo. “?”
He frowned and was about to scold her for not having a conscience when he heard the child speak up once again. “With that, there won’t be obstacles for you and Mommy to be together…”
Chu Cimo’s heart trembled.
So this was the reason why she wanted to stay with her father…
He wanted to say something when Yan Xiaoqi spoke up again, “But you mustn’t bully Mommy or despise her for being fat. If I were to find out that you beat or scold my mommy, I’ll also bully you when I grow up!”
The child’s voice was very soft but determined.
Chu Cimo was never a person with much patience, but at this moment, he remained patient as she said so many childish things. He then rubbed the child’s head and said, “Alright, get some sleep.”
Only then did Yan Xiaoqi lay down.
Chu Cimo returned to the sofa, took out his phone, and logged into a black interface. He was about to take care of some matters when he suddenly noticed something. He turned his head abruptly only to see tears sliding down the sleeping Bai Shanshan’s eyes.
After Yan Xiaoqi fell asleep, Bai Shanshan sat up from the bed.
She bit her lips and looked at Chu Cimo. “You don’t have to treat us like this. I won’t be with you. I’m unworthy of you…”
“How are you unworthy?” Chu Cimo became anxious.
“I’m married. Although Yan Zihao hasn’t touched me over so many years, I had been with him that night… and even had a child…”
Chu Cimo heaved a sigh of relief. “Sigh, I was wondering what it was. About this…”
He scratched his head. “Actually, you shouldn’t feel any pressure. I wasn’t able to keep myself in check either. I was schemed against six years ago and had s*x with a woman. So you see, you aren’t innocent and I’m not chaste. As for children, who knows if a woman would come to knock on my door with a child someday? Aren’t we a perfect match?”
Bai Shanshan. “…”
Seeing that Bai Shanshan didn’t seem to believe him, Chu Cimo let out a cough. “It’s true. It was at the Wilson Hotel…”
“Wilson Hotel?”
Bai Shanshan was stunned.
