If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Our Baby is So Beautiful
 

Zhou Ran looked at him in confusion and shook her head, “I don’t know.”

She really didn’t know. She had also tried to find out before because she had once suspected that Xu Chaomu’s father might be Shen Cexian, after all, Shen Cexian loved Xu Mengxi so much.

However, later on, she found nothing, not a single clue.

She had to admire Xu Mengxi for her ability to cover all tracks, including those affairs from thirteen years ago.

Xu Mengxi was such a clever person, so she didn’t believe that her daughter Xu Chaomu would be foolish.

“I think I know.” Shen Cexian looked at her with deep and calm eyes.

Zhou Ran’s face showed shock. Shen Cexian knew?

“Don’t be surprised. I’m just not certain. However, I have a way to be certain,” Shen Cexian told Zhou Ran with determination.

Zhou Ran was even more astonished. She had not expected that Shen Cexian had also been investigating this matter.

She had never expected that Shen Cexian had actually guessed some leads.

“Who is it?” Zhou Ran asked, frowning.

“It’s me.”

“Shen Cexian, you!”

Zhou Ran’s face color changed instantly, a strong impulse surged within her, and she almost stood up!

Shen Cexian, on the other hand, looked at her calmly, with a deep smile on the corners of his mouth.

Seeing Zhou Ran’s face turn red in an instant, he immediately shook his head and smiled, “Come here, and I’ll tell you.”

Zhou Ran approached him with suspicion, and Shen Cexian whispered a few words in her ear.

At first, Zhou Ran’s face was confused, but then it turned to shock.

Even someone as composed as she was couldn’t stay calm anymore.

“Do you understand now?” Shen Cexian finished speaking and looked at her calmly.

Zhou Ran didn’t speak for a long time. What Shen Cexian told her was too shocking.

“Let me be alone for a while.” Zhou Ran didn’t speak right away; she rested her head on her hands, her whole person plunged into chaos.

Shen Cexian nodded, then closed his eyes, leaning back on the hospital bed.

Since he had just finished surgery not long ago, he couldn’t overexert himself and needed to rest for a while.

The window of the hospital room was open, the night breeze blowing in from the window, dispersing the strong smell of disinfectants and bringing in the faint scent of flowers.

The night had fallen, and the entire C City was enveloped in prosperity.

The Shen Family.

Xu Chaomu, who had just had dinner, was sitting on the sofa with Shen Chi. She was knitting a sweater for the little one, while Shen Chi was holding some kind of meeting on the side.

Xu Chaomu stole a glance, not understanding any of it.

“You finally have some time to rest, why are you still working?” Xu Chaomu complained.

“Where will the money for the baby’s milk powder come from if I don’t work?” Shen Chi said calmly.

“My baby isn’t that precious; he can grow up just fine on water.”

“Okay, then he’ll drink water when he is born,” Shen Chi said, looking at his computer.

“So heartless. Is this how you’re going to be a dad?” Xu Chaomu was dissatisfied.

“You were the one who said he could grow up on water,” Shen Chi turned to glance at her before continuing to tap on the keyboard.

“I told you to come up with a name for my baby. Have you thought of one yet?”

Shen Chi continued to work with his head down: “No.”

“Forget it; you clearly don’t take it to heart. Never mind, I’ll think of it myself.”

Xu Chaomu turned her head away “angrily.” Work, work, work! On such a beautiful night, all he knew was work!

She knitted the sweater, very dissatisfied, but helpless.

The sweater she held was already half-finished. Hmm, it would be ready after a while.

Once the sweater was finished, it would be time to knit that scarf for a certain someone.

He had given her some expensive things, like necklaces, baby’s amulets, clothes, shoes… She actually hadn’t given him much in return.

Although a scarf was insignificant compared to those gifts, it would be her token of affection.

However, she didn’t know if he would like it.

Seeing Xu Chaomu getting “angry,” Shen Chi put down what he was doing and placed the laptop on the table.

“Alright, I’ll think of one. Hmm?” he chuckled, wrapping his arms around her waist.

“You’re perfunctory,” Xu Chaomu said, continuing to knit the sweater while looking down, ignoring him.

“How could it be considered perfunctory? It’s actually being prudent. Otherwise, I would have just randomly picked a name for your baby, like ‘Er Gou,’ ‘Wang Cai,’ ‘Mei Mei’… plenty to choose from,” he teased.

Xu Chaomu burst into laughter, reproaching, “You’re the one who’s Er Gou.”

“Yes, so our baby, being so pretty, certainly can’t have such a vulgar name.”

“You really know how to flatter someone. How many girls have you practiced on?”

Xu Chaomu raised her head, looking at him seriously with wide eyes.

“Guess.”

After speaking, the corners of Shen Chi’s lips curled into a smile. He released Xu Chaomu’s waist and continued with his work.

On such a beautiful night, Xu Chaomu sat knitting the sweater while that someone worked earnestly.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but feel that Shen Chi was a man with no sense of romance at his core.

Little Wealth scurried around under the sofa, his bell jingling non-stop, playing happily on his own.

The scene in this living room was very harmonious, quiet, and beautiful.

Xu Chaomu’s days were peaceful and composed, returning to the Shen Family at night and working at Shen Group during the day.

She was already halfway through her design drafts, and Linda was quite enthusiastic, always taking the initiative to go to the design department to ask if Xu Chaomu needed help with anything.

At first, Xu Chaomu was indeed very resistant to Linda, because this woman always liked to dress very casually, such as, even in the office, which was a relatively serious place, she would come in wearing a tank top.

Xu Chaomu kept thinking, could such a woman really have true skills?

However, after getting to know her over time, she realized that Shen Chi really had good judgment.

Although Linda was a bit flirtatious and dressed a bit too provocatively, her professional skills were truly high.

She could always pinpoint the flaws in Xu Chaomu’s drawings and teach her seriously about things she didn’t understand.

Gradually, Xu Chaomu changed her mind about Linda, and in fact, she discovered that Linda really had a boyfriend, and her boyfriend was a handsome foreigner.

Little by little, she got much more familiar with Linda.

Unfortunately, everytime Lou Yanli came to the design department, she couldn’t manage to speak to him.

She knew that Lou Yanli’s abilities were also very strong.

That day, as usual, she came happily to work at Shen’s.

But just as she reached the door to the design department, suddenly, she saw quite a few colleagues gathered around her desk.

The people were whispering among themselves, and someone with sharp eyes saw her coming and shouted, “Chaomu is here,” and immediately everyone scattered.

Xu Chaomu had reached her desk, and a few who were slow in leaving gave her an awkward smile as they passed by.

Xu Chaomu was wondering what was going on when she got to her desk and found a bunch of roses.

The bright, eye-catching red roses brought a refreshing fragrance that was invigorating.
