If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1270: Whose Son is Xiaobao

Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: Whose Son is Xiaobao

When Shen Chi heard about these things, his eyes were filled with countless confusion covered by a leaping joy.

She still remembered how thrilled she was when Xiao Mo told her about it!

Her baby was connected to her by blood. That feeling was something no one else could understand. Seven months pregnant, she spent more time with the little one than anyone else.

As for Bai Man drugging the baby, she spoke of it too, feeling no need to hide it as she did not want to plead for Bai Man.

Indeed, once she mentioned it, Shen Chi’s eyes grew colder.

"What medicine was it? Was there any harm?"

"Medicine that affects intelligence... so Xiaobao calls you ’Fourth Uncle’ because he actually has intellectual issues, don’t... don’t blame him..." Xu Chaomu said, trembling.

This wasn’t about having intellectual issues, it was about being exceptionally intelligent!

"Alright, now that everything’s out in the open, is Xiaobao the son you gave birth to after seven months of pregnancy?" Shen Chi glared at her.

Xu Chaomu shivered all over, nodding continuously, "Can you consider my honesty and not hold this against me?"

"We’ll settle this later, keep talking!"

Xu Chaomu stuck out her tongue and recounted what happened afterward to Shen Chi.

What followed was Xiao Mo discovering Xiaobao, and Bai Man planning to take Xiaobao away or strangle him if she couldn’t.

In a life-or-death moment, Xiao Mo saved Xiaobao and brought him back.

As she talked, tears welled up in Xu Chaomu’s eyes. She bit her straw, a habit, and held back her tears.

Her baby was so young and had already faced such hardships. She felt very heartbroken...

Shen Chi’s eyebrows furrowed, realizing there was so much more to the story, and Xiao Mo hadn’t mentioned a word!

Not just Xiao Mo, but Xu Chaomu hadn’t mentioned a word either!

Great, the two of them had teamed up to deceive him!

She stopped talking only when Xiao Mo brought Xiaobao to her and told her everything.

Xu Chaomu lowered her head, shaking her milk tea.

Her heart was full of emotions. Although she hadn’t gone through it, she knew her baby had survived several close encounters with death.

She was an incompetent mother, very incompetent.

Xu Chaomu kept her head down, biting the straw of her milk tea.

"I’ve told you everything. There’s nothing more," Xu Chaomu’s voice choked up a bit.

Shen Chi also fell silent, piecing together everything.

So Xiao Mo had hidden so much from him. Was it because he trusted him too much, even daring to hide such critical matters?

But he was still very excited inside because, her baby was alive, her own son.

The existence of this child could definitely shorten the distance between them, and this was all fortune.

"Why hide such important matters from me?" Shen Chi asked sternly.

"It’s not that... I mentioned it, just never found the right moment," Xu Chaomu made up an excuse, "Today’s Valentine’s Day, aren’t you happy to hear it?"

"Of course, I’m happy, but you’re really something," Shen Chi’s face showed more worry than anything.

If he had not known this and Xiaobao was harmed a second time, he feared he might never forgive himself, living in self-blame forever.

"If you’re happy, then take a sip." Xu Chaomu placed the milk tea in front of him again.

"..." Shen Chi’s mouth twitched.

What necessary connection was there between drinking milk tea and being happy?

"I’m not drinking it." Shen Chi decisively refused.

"Not drinking means you’re not happy," Xu Chaomu leaned on the table, looking at him.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed; she rested her chin on the table, her big eyes staring unwaveringly at him.

"Such a deep scheme," Shen Chi snorted coldly.

Taking advantage of her distraction, he walked right up to her and cradled her face, kissing her deeply!

From the moment he approached to the instant their lips met, only a few seconds had passed!

Xu Chaomu was stunned. She thought Shen Chi wouldn’t be so blatant in a milk tea shop—after all, there were so many people around!

But he did! He actually kissed her!

So shameless!

Xu Chaomu had no ability to resist; Shen Chi kissed her as he wished.

In truth, at this moment, he really wanted to kiss her...

He knew the pressures she had borne in her heart, understood the pain of losing their child, and of course, he understood even more... that she would cherish this regained family bond in the future.

Not just her, but him too.

He promised her that their family of three would never be separated again.

Thinking of this, his kissing became even more passionate and intense.

Xu Chaomu’s face turned as red as a cherry, with fiery gazes all around, she almost couldn’t handle it anymore.

This beast, what was he trying to do?!

They kissed for a long time, and the voices around them grew louder, mostly discussing them.

Xu Chaomu wished she could crawl into a crevice; it was so embarrassing!

Just when she pinched Shen Chi, he finally let her go and handed her a milk tea: "Let’s go home."

Xu Chaomu was pulled out of the milk tea shop by him before she could even react.

"Why did you kiss me in public? It’s so embarrassing..." Xu Chaomu’s face flushed red.

"You also publicly asked me to have a milk tea with you."

"Don’t couples do that?"

"Then isn’t kissing also quite normal?"

"..." Realizing she couldn’t out-argue him, Xu Chaomu chose to stay silent.

Shen Chi’s car was parked in front of the restaurant where they had lunch; after walking for about fifteen minutes, he led her there.

"Why the rush to go home?" Xu Chaomu curiously asked.

"Suddenly, I really miss the little guy." A smile curled at the corners of Shen Chi’s lips.

Xu Chaomu’s hand remained in his, and she smiled too; after talking so much about Xiaobao, she missed the little guy as well.

Shen Chi opened the passenger door for her, fastened her seatbelt, and then drove away from the area.

"Do you, do you really miss him?" Xu Chaomu asked, gripping the seatbelt.

"What do you mean by that?"

"After, after all, he... he isn’t your biological, son..." Xu Chaomu lowered her head, her voice getting lower and lower...

Lying also requires skill; clearly, she was feeling guilty.

"Don’t bring this up again." Shen Chi’s facial expression suddenly became tense.

"Oh." Xu Chaomu nodded.

Shen Chi was naturally feeling tumultuous inside; to say he felt nothing would be a lie.

But he had always felt it didn’t matter; he didn’t care whose son Xiaobao was—getting a two-for-one deal wasn’t it better? In fact, he felt he had even gotten a bargain.

Xiaobao was so adorable, better to be his, Shen Chi’s son, than someone else’s.

Xu Chaomu twirled her fingers, wondering how to tell Shen Chi certain things.

And that video from the hotel, who exactly had taken it...

She had a vague feeling it was Bai Man, and moreover, she vaguely felt Bai Man must have had a major plan before, but the plan... had been completely disrupted by Xiao Mo.

She remembered Xiao Mo had once given her a second video, in which the woman entering the room had short hair.

Clearly, the second video had been tampered with.
