Chapter 1194: Chapter 1194: Promises of Everlastingness

“I don’t want you to chase after me; I just want you to stand there and wait for me. I can come back to find you. Do you understand?!” Shen Chi yelled hysterically.

“I don’t understand, and I don’t want you to find me.”

“So, you’d rather marry that kind of petty bureaucrat than marry me?”

“Regardless of status or position, I just want to find someone suitable.” Xu Chaomu spoke indifferently, “He’s quite good. At least with him, I won’t be exhausted. I won’t choose you, and I won’t choose Chenglang. I can’t fit into your circle.”

“Xu Chaomu, where is the courage you had when you pursued me?!” Shen Chi shouted.

Was this her attitude? The girl who used to say she “liked him,” who wanted to marry him–where was she?!

They had promised to be together ’til the end of time; why was she the one to give up first…

“A lifetime… can’t solely depend on courage.” Xu Chaomu lowered her head.

“Apart from courage, you have me.” Shen Chi moved closer to her, his hot breath on her face, his eyes brimming with intense affection.

Xu Chaomu frowned. This position was too intimate; she deliberately moved away.

“Mumu… give me one chance, just one. I will be a good husband.”

Shen Chi lowered his head, placed his hands on her shoulders, his tone filled with both pleading and helplessness.

Ever since they were kids, he had never figured out how to deal with her. And now… it was still the same.

“How so?” Xu Chaomu suddenly looked up, her tone heavy with sarcasm, “When I argued with your mother, you won’t walk away without listening to my explanation, right? When I was pregnant, you won’t go to Los Angeles again, will you?”

Shen Chi’s heart was stabbed fiercely. He knew that incident had hurt her deeply.

He had not anticipated everything that had happened afterward–it was a mistake he could not make up for in this lifetime.

“It’s okay, after all, that child had nothing to do with you, you never truly liked him.” Xu Chaomu’s face was full of mockery, “With the child gone, you must be happy…”

“How can you think like that? I always thought of him as my own child.” Shen Chi choked up, his eyes reddening.

That child was a taboo between them; in fact, besides that child, there were many other taboos between them.

Every time these taboos were brought up, it was like they were stabbing themselves in the heart over and over again.

“Enough.” Xu Chaomu said sternly, “I don’t want to go over these old scores with you anymore. It’s all my fault, all my doing. There’s nothing wrong with you.”

Even during their cold wars, she was the first to give in.

Thinking of all this, she lost any desire to argue with Shen Chi.

She didn’t know whether he could be a good husband; in any case… she no longer had the courage to try again.

“It’s my fault.” Shen Chi admitted his mistake, bowing his head, “I wanted to apologize to you at the time, but… you’ve known me for so many years; you know my temper. I… won’t make excuses anymore, any more would just be covering up. Mumu, I want you to come back to me, okay?”

“Please leave.”

“Chaomu!”

“Don’t disturb my life again; I want to start over properly.”

“You know very well I can’t live without you!”

“That’s because you never tried to leave!” Xu Chaomu looked at him, her emotions slightly agitated.

“Chaomu… let’s make up…”

“Are you leaving or not?” Xu Chaomu didn’t want to repeat herself over and over again, “If you… mmm…”

Shen Chi suddenly held her shoulders, pressed her against the wall, leaned down, and kissed her chattering lips fiercely.

He sealed her lips, swallowing the words she was about to say, kissing her domineeringly, leaving no chance for her to speak.

Xu Chaomu struggled to push him away.

But Shen Chi held her hands with one of his, not letting her move.

Xu Chaomu had known all along that he had come after drinking.

Even after drinking, he was still able to talk so much with her, which meant he still had some sense left, but now, he was completely out of reason, his brain functioning solely on the support of alcohol!

Inhaling her unique fragrance, his hands ceaselessly explored her waist, kissing her until she couldn’t resist any longer.

Xu Chaomu had no power to resist at all; the man was pressing down on her, and she couldn’t move.

Shen Chi refused to let her go, kissing her passionately, his scorching breath spilling on her face, his reason being beaten back, little by little.

He let go of her lips, and his kisses began to fall densely on her neck, her earlobes…

“Shen Chi… let, let me go… don’t force me…” Xu Chaomu frowned.

She knew just how terrifying a drunk man could be.

But Shen Chi turned a deaf ear.

“Mumu… I want you…” Shen Chi had lost all his reason; the only thought in his mind now was that he wanted her.

“Shen, Shen Chi… don’t touch me…”

But how could a normal man stop at a time like this?

He hadn’t touched her for a very long time, and he had never touched any other woman; he didn’t want to do anything to betray her.

But when facing her, he couldn’t control himself.

Her brow was furrowed; she did not want him to touch her.

“Shen Chi, snap out of it… I don’t want anything to happen between us… you like this, you’re only going to make me hate you more!” Xu Chaomu spoke frankly.

“So noisy.” Shen Chi also frowned.

His passion wasn’t receding at all but was instead getting more intense.

One of his hands reached behind her, trying to undo her buckle.

“Shen Chi! Don’t touch me! Stop!” Xu Chaomu’s face was flushed.

She could already feel his changes, every inch of her skin seemed to be ignited.

And he, for his part, was no different.

He wanted her, badly.

Having abstained for more than half a year, all his reason fell apart the moment he faced her.

Probably also because it had been too long since he had touched her, his movements seemed clumsy.

Xu Chaomu only felt a coolness on her body; she bit her lip hard, her eyes brimming with a surge of coldness.

“Mumu, Mumu…” He buried his head in her shoulder, softly chanting her name.

“Shen Chi, I never liked being forced by anyone; if you really touch me today, from now on, we should never see each other again.”

Because of her words, he stopped all his actions; he knew… with Xu Chaomu’s personality, she would do as she said.

“Let go of my hand.” Xu Chaomu glared at him fiercely.

“No… I won’t let go…” Shen Chi’s tone was slightly rogue, “if I let go, you’ll run away…”

With that, he gently bit her earlobe.

“Ah…” As if a current had passed through her, Xu Chaomu let out a faint cry, her body tingling all over.

His arms held her; he truly hadn’t touched her like this for a long time, and he missed her taste.

“Mumu… it won’t hurt… give it to me…” Shen Chi frowned; he could no longer endure it.

Xu Chaomu clenched her teeth, her face flushed with anger: “Get off, get away!”
