If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1247: The Appraisal Result is Out

Chapter 1247: Chapter 1247: The Appraisal Result is Out

A few days had passed, and once Shen Chi felt that Xu Chaomu was mentally prepared, he took her to the Luo Family Medical Group.

Wen Zhiyuan had returned to work and was slightly surprised to see Shen Chi holding Xu Chaomu’s hand.

But he admired Shen Chi for being able to sweet-talk Xu Chaomu into changing her mind.

After all, Xu Chaomu still had feelings for Shen Chi.

If her heart had truly died, no amount of coaxing would bring her back.

Shen Chi asked Xu Chaomu to wait for him in the blood collection room while he briefly explained something to Wen Zhiyuan. Wen Zhiyuan understood and nodded, immediately finding a professional doctor from the group to conduct the paternity test.

Shen Chi also had his subordinates go to the Bai Family to get blood from Bai Xuan, and had the samples sent to the hospital.

During this time, Bai Xuan had been confined to the old Bai family residence and couldn’t step outside as Shen Chi’s men surrounded the place.

He was unprepared when someone came to collect his blood.

"Why do you need to draw blood?" he asked the doctor, frowning.

The doctor, wearing a mask, didn’t utter a single word or respond, just silently collected the blood and left for the hospital.

Bai Xuan was confused and clueless.

"Chaomu, don’t worry, I’ll wait with you for the results," Shen Chi said, draping an arm around Xu Chaomu’s shoulders, sitting next to her.

Xu Chaomu’s heart was pounding fiercely. It had been over a year since the last paternity test; time had flown so quickly.

Her chest felt like it harbored a nervous little rabbit.

She couldn’t quite describe her feelings at the moment. Did she hope Bai Xuan was her father?

If Bai Xuan really was her father, her peaceful life would undoubtedly be disrupted!

She struggled to recall what Bai Xuan looked like since she had met him only a handful of times.

She could barely remember his appearance, wondering why suddenly someone told her... Bai Xuan was her biological father.

Perhaps this answer was expected, after all, her mother knew Shen Cexian, Zhou Ran, and thus, must have known Bai Xuan.

So many puzzles, confusing and overwhelming.

Before she was ten, she had no interest in these matters. She knew the word "father" was taboo for her mother, so she was sensible and never brought it up.

But she hadn’t expected that years later, this word would be repeatedly mentioned.

If her mother were still here, would she want to see this situation? Would she want her to acknowledge her biological father?

She felt chaotic, her palms icy.

Just then, Shen Chi gripped her hand tighter.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here," he said, soothing her by stroking her head.

Xu Chaomu nodded without a word, clinging tightly to Shen Chi’s hand.

The waiting room was warm with air conditioning, but Xu Chaomu still felt a chill all over.

Time ticked by slowly. She had felt this way before, and reliving it now made her feel as if she were walking through Hell once more.

"Want to hear a joke?" Shen Chi offered.

"Your jokes are always crude and violent. I don’t want to hear them," Xu Chaomu rejected.

She still remembered that little rabbit story!

Shen Chi ruffled her hair, smiling, "Alright, I won’t tell it. Want something to eat? I’ll go buy it."

Xu Chaomu shook her head, "I can’t eat."

"If you want to sleep, lean on me."

"I’m not a pig, I just woke up not long ago."

"To me, you’re just like a little pig, eating and sleeping, easy to take care of."

Xu Chaomu’s lips curved slightly, but she didn’t contradict him; instead, she leaned closer to him.

The wait for the results was interminable, feeling longer than a century.

"Chaomu, waiting like this isn’t going to work. How about I take you and Xiaobao to the amusement park?"

"I’m not in the mood..." Xu Chaomu drooped her head.

Shen Chi helplessly shook his head, understanding her feelings.

But sitting like this wasn’t a solution, so after waiting a while, he still pulled Xu Chaomu away.

He took her to a restaurant for a meal and also called Wen Zhiyuan.

Whenever Wen Zhiyuan was there, Shen Chi always "unconsciously" mentioned Shen Di, but each time, Wen Zhiyuan casually avoided the topic.

Xu Chaomu didn’t eat much, just drank some juice and wasn’t in the mood to talk.

After the meal, Shen Chi insisted on taking her to a shopping mall.

He bought her several coats, some jewelry, and a few pairs of quite nice shoes.

He really rarely accompanied her shopping; watching her try on shoes, he felt guilty.

"Isn’t this pair of shoes too high?" Xu Chaomu tried on a pair of pink high heels, but the heels were about eight centimeters tall.

Shen Chi walked over, "Not high, they are just right when you stand next to me."

Xu Chaomu looked up and nodded; indeed, they were just right next to him.

Even the saleswoman smiled and said, "You and your husband look so well-matched together."

Xu Chaomu also smiled, well-matched, huh?

"There are plenty of shoes at home, maybe we shouldn’t buy these," Xu Chaomu said.

Actually, the shoes looked nice, just the heels were a bit high, and she feared she wouldn’t wear them often, which seemed a bit wasteful.

"If you like them, buy them, all the shoes at home are last year’s styles," Shen Chi said.

Xu Chaomu didn’t say much, taking off the shoes and handing them to him, "Then you go pay, boss?"

Shen Chi smiled, took the shoes and gave them to the saleswoman.

He continued to accompany her around several places, and seeing her smile so happily, he decided he must make more time to be with her in the future.

In the evening, Shen Chi received a call from the hospital.

"President Shen, the results are out," the doctor directly called him.

"Speak," Shen Chi said in a deep voice.

"Miss Xu and Mr. Bai hold a father-daughter relationship."

Hearing the results, Shen Chi was silent for two or three seconds but soon calmed down, "Understood, keep the report, I will come right over."

"Okay, I’ll wait for you."

Xu Chaomu, standing nearby, couldn’t hear the doctor’s words, but she heard Shen Chi’s.

Somehow, she wasn’t as nervous as before and asked faintly, "Are the results out?"

"Yes."

"I and Bai Xuan are father and daughter?" Xu Chaomu guessed a bit of the result.

"Yes," Shen Chi didn’t hide it from her.

"This time, they didn’t lie to me," Xu Chaomu said calmly.

Shen Chi embraced her shoulders, "I’m still here, whatever happens, I will bear it for you."

"I’ve almost forgotten what Bai Xuan looks like, isn’t it ironic?" Xu Chaomu said with a bitter smile, "He really is my biological father."

"I hadn’t expected this outcome, but it makes sense."

"Yes, it makes sense, my mother must have known him."

"Whenever you want to see him, I will arrange it for you, he’s still living in the Bai Family old house," Shen Chi said.

"Let me be calm for a while."

"I’ll take you home first, and I’ll go get the report."

"Sounds good, I miss my baby."

Shen Chi embraced her as they got into the car, placing the things they bought in the trunk, and drove towards Shen Family’s house.

After dropping her off at Shen Family’s house, he personally went to the hospital to fetch the report.
