If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1400 When is the Due Date?

Chapter 1400: Chapter 1400 When is the Due Date?

Shen Chi did not ask further. After returning from the hospital, he went back to the Shen Family.

After that day, he handed the matter to Xiao Mo. Apart from Xiao Mo, he could not find a second person he trusted this much.

"Mr. Shen, do you really want to investigate that matter thoroughly?" Xiao Mo asked, looking at the pensive man in the office.

"If it were you, what would you do?" Shen Chi countered, his sharp eyes staring at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo paused slightly and nodded: "If it were me, I would choose the same."

This matter was met with silence by Xu Chaomu, who chose to step back, but it didn’t mean she truly let it go. She merely sealed it deep in her heart, not easily unsealed.

"Hmm, you should understand my thoughts," Shen Chi nodded.

"But Mr. Shen, have you ever thought, if the investigation reveals results... that are disappointing, like, if the murderer is still Mrs. Zhou, what would you do?"

"The worst outcome is just maintaining the status quo, isn’t it?" Shen Chi replied indifferently as he looked toward Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo was momentarily unable to rebut. According to the current situation, the worst outcome would indeed be Zhou Ran killing Xu Mengxi, Shen Chi never mentioning this matter again, and Xu Chaomu keeping it buried in her heart, everything maintaining the status quo.

However, Shen Chi and Xiao Mo did not anticipate that the day when the truth came out, it would be far more than just "maintaining the status quo."

"Alright, I thought it over, this matter can be investigated. There was no evidence many years ago, but now, we have some leads, don’t we?" Xiao Mo said.

"Yes, that’s why I thought of thoroughly investigating anew."

"If possible, I plan to start with the hospital that Xu Mengxi went to," Xiao Mo shared his thoughts, "to see if there are any new clues."

"I’ll leave this matter to you, report to me whenever there’s an update."

"You’re too polite, Mr. Shen," Xiao Mo said, "Chaomu is about to give birth, try to make some time to stay with her, I’ll handle the other matters."

"Hmm."

They talked a bit more and after finishing, Xiao Mo returned to his office.

Just then, Shen Chi’s phone rang, he glanced at it, it was Xu Chaomu calling.

"Honey, Chuqing is on vacation now, I will go to see Chuqing in a bit."

"Aren’t you tired of running around?"

"Staying at home all day is quite boring, I want to go to the university to see some cute guys."

"Can’t you look at your husband?" Shen Chi asked deliberately annoyed.

"Husband, don’t be shameless. How can you compare to cute guys, you are much older than them," Xu Chaomu blurted out, but immediately felt it was wrong to imply that he was old.

Xu Chaomu hurriedly added, "But though cute guys look good, they are not practical. I still prefer mature and charming men, like Mr. Shen."

"What do you mean ’cute guys look good but aren’t practical’, have you tried?"

"I..." Xu Chaomu felt she had dug a hole for herself.

"Take care of yourself, call me if you need anything." Shen Chi smirked.

"Okay, I’m off then, don’t miss me, remember to have lunch on time, and if Xiaobao calls for mommy, just soothe him, he’s easy to console."

"Got it."

Xu Chaomu blew a big kiss through the phone to Shen Chi, feeling very happy.

Standing in front of the mirror, she changed into a loose-fitting dress, which nicely covered her stomach.

C University had just started the summer vacation, and the campus was still bustling with students. Xia Chuqing couldn’t return home yet because she had to participate in a selection exam.

"Chuqing!" Xu Chaomu ran to the library and called out.

"Chaomu!" Chuqing looked up, her face filled with surprise, "Why are you here? Long time no see."

"Yeah, we often talk on the phone, but barely see each other." Xu Chaomu sat down beside her.

"Chaomu, slow down, when is your due date?" Chuqing asked excitedly.

Xiaobao is so cute, if there were an Erbao, they would definitely be adorable too.

Chuqing really likes children, she feels particularly happy and joyful when playing with kids.

"It’s still early, not until October." Xu Chaomu smiled, radiating a motherly gentleness.

"It’s coming up, I’m so looking forward to it!"

"Shh, keep it down, this is a library. What are you reading?"

"Professional courses." Chuqing pouted, "But it’s okay, it’s not too hard."

"Then you keep revising, I’ll read for a bit too. Let’s go out for lunch together later."

"Chaomu, what books do you like? I’ll get them for you."

"No need, I’ll just pick a few randomly." Xu Chaomu smiled.

She didn’t really like reading, but she was interested in books about design, so she casually picked a few design books to read in the library.

Her studio was in the preparatory stage; she wasn’t in a rush, planning to officially open it after the wedding.

Shen Chi always preferred that she didn’t work, as he was busy himself and hardly had time to spend with little ones. If she didn’t work, she could be there to accompany her child’s growth.

Xu Chaomu understood Shen Chi’s concerns; once the studio was operational, she planned to entrust it completely to someone she trusted, only visiting from time to time.

She had lacked a father’s love since childhood and later a mother’s, and she didn’t want her own child to experience the same.

...

At noon, Chuqing took Xu Chaomu to a Japanese restaurant.

"Chaomu, do you think the owner of this restaurant is handsome?" Chuqing pointed to a young man busy at work.

"Handsome." Xu Chaomu took a few more glances, indeed quite attractive.

"I’ve been watching him for a long time, every time I come to their restaurant, I just look at him."

"You’re so infatuated, does the owner know?"

"Hey, didn’t you also say he’s handsome? Tsk tsk, look at those long legs. I checked, he’s single, no girlfriend, just 24 this year, in the prime of his youth."

"This... is the owner Japanese?" Xu Chaomu asked.

"Yeah, that’s okay, nationality isn’t a problem, it’s good enough if he is handsome."

Xu Chaomu tapped her head lightly: "What are you thinking? There are so many handsome guys domestically, and you want to go for an international love? More importantly, the Chuqing I know is fickle-minded?"

"What do you mean fickle-minded, it’s clearly being picky. Of course, a girl should choose the best, someone who’s handsome and gentle, what’s wrong with that?" Chuqing said nonchalantly.

Right at that moment, the owner came over, and Chuqing spoke a few simple sentences in Chinese to him, then casually started a conversation in Japanese.

Xu Chaomu didn’t understand and could only rest her head in her hand.

Chuqing had told her that she and Xiao Mo no longer had any ties; to be precise, they never really did.

After a while, the owner left to prepare their lunch.

"Chaomu, guess what I just said to the owner." Chuqing winked.
