If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1218: He Loves You More Than Anyone Else

Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: He Loves You More Than Anyone Else

"Um..." Xiaobao slouched his head down, resting in Chaomu’s arms, motionless.

"Good boy, baby is the best, mommy will take you out for a walk." Chaomu stroked his head.

Her own heart was also feeling congested; the knot in her heart couldn’t be untied but seemed to tangle like ivy vines, getting more entangled as it twisted.

Outside, the sun was lovely, warming the body with its rays.

Chaomu squinted her eyes, and seeing the sunlight, the haze in her heart cleared up a lot.

For some reason, seeing the sun made her think of Shen Chi’s smile. That man actually didn’t smile often, but he always showed a warm smile in front of her and Xiaobao.

Thinking of him, she remembered the document he had asked her to sign.

She still hadn’t clarified what it was; her heart skipped a beat as she thought about calling Xiao Mo.

She pushed Xiaobao along a path in the residential area, stopping at a spot with a nicer view.

Taking out her phone, she called Xiao Mo.

"Chaomu." Xiao Mo answered the call.

Hearing Xiao Mo’s voice, he seemed busy.

Chaomu asked, "Xiao Mo...since you’ve returned to the country, we haven’t met yet."

"Oh, yes," Xiao Mo chuckled. "I’ve been quite busy at work, but yeah, if I do come to see you, I’d have to do it behind someone’s back."

Xiao Mo’s tone was joking, but Chaomu still couldn’t relax after hearing it.

"What have you been busy with lately?" Chaomu asked.

"Haven’t been in the country for a long time, so I’ve been busy getting acquainted with the group’s affairs."

"You’re not telling me the truth."

"Hmm? What truth do you want to hear?" Xiao Mo laughed.

"Is Shen Group doing okay?"

"It’s doing well; you don’t have to worry about that. There’s nothing Shen Shihan can’t handle," Xiao Mo said.

Apparently, Chaomu had heard some snippets of information, otherwise she wouldn’t have asked him that.

"Is everything really okay?"

"It’s fine, don’t worry," Xiao Mo reassured her in a soft voice.

"A few days ago, Shen Chi came to have me sign something, I don’t know what it was, but I signed it," Chaomu said.

"Signed it?" Xiao Mo was somewhat puzzled.

"I’ll tell you about it." As she spoke, Chaomu described the general content of the documents to Xiao Mo.

After listening, Xiao Mo was silent for a while.

Seeing that Xiao Mo didn’t respond, Chaomu anxiously pressed, "What is it? What exactly do the contents of the document mean?"

"Didn’t you ask him?" Xiao Mo asked.

Chaomu shook her head, "I asked him; he said they were just some terms signed between the group and the government, and told me not to worry, just to sign."

"That’s a legal indemnity," Xiao Mo said flatly.

"What does that mean?" Chaomu looked puzzled.

"You are the legal representative of the group. If anything happens to the group, you, Chaomu, would be legally responsible," Xiao Mo explained slowly, "but Shen Shihan drafted a legal indemnity and declaration for you. From now on, no matter what happens to the group, it won’t involve you at all; he alone will be responsible."

Xiao Mo continued, "It means that all the benefits will go to you when the group prospers, but if the group is at fault, Shen Shihan bears all the responsibilities, not you."

After finishing, Xiao Mo sighed heavily in his heart.

Just recently, the group had faced some issues, and unexpectedly, Shen Shihan had consulted a professional lawyer to draft these documents.

He understood, Shen Chi’s love for Chaomu was always the deepest.

It’s good to explain it to Chaomu once, hoping that Shen Chi would say anything about it was almost impossible.

Xu Chaomu understood. Even if she wasn’t well-versed in the law, she understood.

Shen Chi... was protecting her.

The existence of a group must face tremendous risks, but a disclaimer was essentially telling her that she, Xu Chaomu, could enjoy all the benefits without worrying about any risks.

Because... he would be there, even if the sky fell.

Xu Chaomu lowered her eyelids, and the sunlight cast a small circle of light and shadow on her eyelids.

"Chaomu, the New Year is coming, perhaps... you can visit Shen Family," Xiao Mo suggested.

After all, even if Shen Family wasn’t good, it was still the place where she had lived for eight years.

Xu Chaomu did not speak, and Xiao Mo continued, "I know you don’t want to see Mrs. Zhou, but she and Director Shen are now almost always in the hospital for treatment, so you might not see them if you go to Shen Family."

"Last time, I saw her at the hospital," Xu Chaomu’s voice lowered.

Xiao Mo was startled at first, then understood what Xu Chaomu was referring to.

"In some ways, Director Shen hasn’t done enough, and he deserves to be scolded. However, you must know that in this world, he loves you more than anyone else."

Towards the end, Xiao Mo sighed again, feeling inadequate.

Xu Chaomu simply remained silent, understanding some things in her heart.

"Um... someone just called me, I’ll hang up now," Xiao Mo said with a smile.

"Um," Xu Chaomu nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chaomu felt less uncomfortable. Looking at the sunshine, she found it especially bright.

She knelt down and properly covered Xiaobao with the blanket.

"Daddy... Mommy..." Xiaobao called out.

These were the two words he now spoke most fluently; sometimes, he would mutter them by himself.

"Good boy, mommy is here," Xu Chaomu soothed while stroking his little head, "The New Year is coming, mommy will buy you new clothes. Xiaobao will look bright and beautiful, and daddy will come back."

Xiaobao didn’t seem to understand, but he clapped his hands and said, "Want, want..."

"Um, mommy will buy for you, you need to be obedient."

"Baby is obedient," Xiaobao babbled.

Xu Chaomu burst into laughter; Xiaobao was especially adorable when he spoke, articulating words clearly.

This intelligence didn’t inherit from her; it seemed someone else’s genes were more dominant.

After hanging up, Xiao Mo immediately picked up a call from Shen Chi, who asked him to come to the president’s office.

As he entered the office, Shen Chi handed him a stack of documents.

"Sort these issues with Lawyer Chen within three days."

Xiao Mo flipped through them casually—it was still the issue from last time.

After Shen Shihan retaliated, Shen Chi and he had visited the police station many times, and their shares had dropped significantly.

Especially on some days, the media concentrated their firepower, greatly affecting Shen Chi’s personal reputation.

Shen Chi was well aware that those fueling the fire were from Feili Group.

That batch of goods, Shen Chi couldn’t prove his innocence for a while and eventually found a scapegoat to take the blame.

That matter passed like that, but the impact on the group was significant; many shareholders withdrew, and some of the smaller enterprises under its banner also closed down.

This round, Shen Shihan won completely.

But Shen Chi thought, only those who laugh last truly win.

"President Shen, I heard that Vice President Shen’s company is about to be established," Xiao Mo said.

"Um," Shen Chi responded coldly.

Xiao Mo nodded, seeing that Shen Chi had long known about it.
