If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1001 - Chapter 1001 Chapter 1001 Laying a Hand on a Child

Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: Laying a Hand on a Child Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: Laying a Hand on a Child Xiao Mo sneered, this woman actually knew to drag Shen Shihan into her scheme.

From start to finish, Xiao Mo had gone over these matters completely and found that the incident from five years ago hadn’t taught this woman any lesson; instead, it had made her even more audacious.

Indeed, five years ago, she had thought she could drive Xu Chaomu away, but she ended up offending Shen Chi, resulting in her own banishment overseas for five years.

During those five years, she probably thought Xu Chaomu wouldn’t come back and was preparing to make another move, planning to return to Shen Chi’s side. But unexpectedly, at this time, Xu Chaomu had also returned to the country.

Many things just happen to be this inconvenient.

Thus, she orchestrated such a drama.

Xiao Mo felt his speculation was logical and reasonable, so Bai Man would definitely stay in the country for a long time.

With that being the case, he wasn’t in a hurry to expose Bai Man, especially since he didn’t have enough evidence yet.

He could completely wait and see what Bai Man would do next.

With this thought, Xiao Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t quite making it up to Xu Chaomu, but at least he was being true to his own intentions.

He had said that he would definitely investigate the truth about her premature delivery from beginning to end.

As for whether Jian Sisi’s death was related to Bai Man, Xiao Mo thought this was something he would probably have to force out of Bai Man.

He would give this matter further thought before informing Shen Chi, knowing that once Shen Chi became aware of this, Bai Man would definitely not end up well.

Five years ago, Shen Chi let Bai Man off just because their families, the Shen Family and the Bai Family, had been longtime friends.

Five years later, it wouldn’t be so easy!

Xiao Mo closed his eyes, leaning back in his chair deep in thought.

He connected all the events into a line and went over them carefully once again.

Yet, he still felt a sense of regret in his heart. What good would punishing Bai Man do? Xu Chaomu’s child… was still gone.

Thinking this way, Xiao Mo truly felt that Bai Man’s death would be no loss.

Xu Chaomu’s baby was only over seven months old. To harm a child, one really must have a heart of stone.

Love, once someone stubbornly falls into it, can truly become extreme.

Xiao Mo sighed. Sometimes, loving someone doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be together with them; seeing them happy is enough.

It’s just a shame that not everyone understands this.

Obsession is indeed a terrifying thing. Like a swamp, it only causes one to sink deeper.

Bai Man and Shen Chi should have ended things five years ago…

Xiao Mo sat alone in the office, contemplating these things, and his heart still felt a strong stir.

Sunlight streamed through the window, gradually shining on Xiao Mo.

The window was open, allowing strands of the spring’s breath to spread out, bringing a vibrant feeling that made one think of vitality, vigor, flamboyance, and endless greenery.

Spring had arrived, another season of wanton growth.

The flowers are beautiful every year, but different each time.

Xiao Mo closed his eyes, shut all the files in front of him, and silently lay in the chair without a word.

The wind from the window brought in waves of lush spring vibes. The scent of spring reached his nose, and he continued to believe that the future would be good.

That day, Xiao Mo rested in the office all morning, temporarily setting aside his work.

In fact, since Xu Chaomu’s child was gone, he hadn’t had a single night of sound sleep.

Many times, when Shen Chi was in agony, he was likewise in agony.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, curving into a shallow arc.

He would give her a satisfactory closure.

…

At noon, he went to the downstairs restaurant to eat and only then realized that while he had been resting with his eyes closed, Xu Chaomu had sent him several messages.

“Xiao Mo, is ‘someone’ going on any international business trips soon?”

Xiao Mo laughed. This Xu Chaomu, directly calling him “someone” like that, if Shen Chi saw it, he would be furious enough to spit blood.

“He won’t. It’s my turn to go abroad,” Xiao Mo replied.

He needed to prepare for a trip to South Africa, and how long he would be gone was still an unknown.

“I was actually thinking of going to C City,” Xu Chaomu confessed.

She missed Yu Weiwei and the others a bit, but unfortunately, she couldn’t see Yu Weiwei for the time being. She could only go to see Xia Chuqing.

“Then you better not come here for now. President Shen has been in C City all this time.”

“Oh… I understand,” Xu Chaomu replied.

“Mhm.”

Xu Chaomu put down her phone, feeling like a mouse, with Shen Chi as the cat.

She had to avoid that cat at all costs!

Had Bai Man not seduced him yet? Or, did he not have a preferable partner yet? Xu Chaomu was really anxious.

Also, she had decided that once Xiao Mo brought her a child, she would send the signed divorce agreement to Shen Chi.

It was impossible for her to go back to his side. She and he had already reached an irreversible impasse.

After tidying up a bit, she finished her overtime work and was ready to go out to have dinner with her colleagues.

Today, the boss was treating everyone, and the whole company was there!

The small company in Jin City certainly couldn’t compare to Shen Group. All the people here together wouldn’t amount to the number in just one department at Shen’s.

But here in this company, a lot of colleagues cared about Xu Chaomu, even though she sometimes couldn’t understand their dialect.

“Chaomu, after we eat, let’s play cards together. Will you join us?” a colleague said while packing up their things.

“Sure, I haven’t played cards in a long time,” Xu Chaomu happily agreed.

The advantage of a small city is that there’s absolutely no life pressure, and the pace of life is especially slow.

Here, you can see people playing cards, playing chess, and drinking tea everywhere along the roadside.

“You don’t have any dates, right? Good, let’s go together then. The boss is in rare high spirits and wants to play cards with us.”

“You know I’m single.”

“Couldn’t be better. Make sure you bring enough money.”

“No problem!”

After packing, Xu Chaomu followed them to the hotel booked by the boss.

Along the way, Xu Chaomu saw many flowers blooming by the roadside, as spring in Jin City came really early. The flowerbed was full of purples and reds, quite beautiful.

The sun was nice, the air was fresh, and Xu Chaomu’s mood was good as well.

The boss was easy-going, without any airs, and everyone ate, drank, and had a great time.

Xu Chaomu also had a bit to drink, but since she was going to play cards in the afternoon, she feared losing too badly if she drank too much.

“Come, let’s toast our new colleagues. Xiaoxu, Xiaolu, and Xiaotian,” the boss lifted his glass.

Xu Chaomu also raised her glass, smiling and saying, “Thank you, boss.”

“It’s my first time treating everyone to a meal. Please take care of the newcomers in the future,” the boss said.

All colleagues raised their glasses, “Definitely, definitely.”

“I see Xiaoxu doesn’t have a partner yet, does the boss have any eligible young men to introduce to Xiaoxu?” a colleague joked.

Xu Chaomu wasn’t offended; she knew her colleagues here were all very nice to her.

“That’s easily said than done,” the boss laughed.

Xu Chaomu also smiled, “Thank you all for your concern.”

“Of course, of course.” Everyone had a few more drinks.
