If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1048 - Chapter 1048 Chapter 1048 Chubby Little Cheeks

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Chubby Little Cheeks Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Chubby Little Cheeks Halfway through the drive, Bai Man called again, and Shen Chi furrowed his brows and turned on the speakerphone.

“Shen Chi, have you finished talking with Xiao Mo? Don’t overexert yourself. It’s cold at night, take care not to catch a cold. Staying up late is bad for your health. You can drink a glass of milk before bed, it’s good for sleep,” she said.

Shen Chi replied indifferently, “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine, just a bit of a headache, and I’m already on my way home.”

“Is it severe? If your head hurts a lot, remember to take medicine.”

“Don’t worry, I can take care of myself. Why aren’t you asleep?”

The moment she heard Shen Chi’s gentle voice, Bai Man smiled, “I’m about to. I feel much more at ease after calling you.”

“Goodnight.”

A satisfied smile curled on Bai Man’s lips, “Goodnight.”

Although the good news from last night had been disrupted by that woman Xu Chaomu, hearing that Shen Chi had sent her out of C City overnight put Bai Man’s mind at ease.

That woman… she wouldn’t dare set foot in C City ever again, right?

With that thought, she hung up the phone and went to take a bath before sleeping.

As for Shen Chi, his heart was ill at ease, but fortunately, the game was nearly over.

While driving on the road, and just as he was about to reach the long path to the Waterside Pavilion, his phone rang again.

Shen Chi frowned in irritation. Who could be calling him at such a late hour? He glanced down to see the screen flashing with the name “Li Beiting”!

Li Beiting? Why was he calling this late instead of being at home with his wife and kid?

Feeling restless and trying to suppress the urge to lash out, Shen Chi answered Li Beiting’s call.

“Speak up, you have thirty seconds!” Shen Chi said with a stern voice.

His attitude was hardly cordial, but this didn’t dampen the cheerful mood on the other end of the line. Even through the phone, the surprise was palpable.

“President Shen, congratulations,” came the voice.

Shen Chi frowned. What was Li Beiting so happy about in the middle of the night? Congratulating him? What did he have to be congratulated for? Didn’t he see that these past few days had been nothing but stress and chaos for him?!

“Twenty seconds left!” Shen Chi said with a cold and deep tone.

“Oh, look at you, can’t even take a joke,” Li Beiting said cheerfully. “Congratulations on becoming an uncle again.”

Shen Chi paused for a moment before realizing what was meant.

“Yu Weiwei delivered?” Shen Chi asked calmly.

“Yes, yes, I’ve congratulated you, now it’s your turn to congratulate me,” Li Beiting said joyfully, completely indifferent to Shen Chi’s cold demeanor.

He knew that’s just how Shen Chi was, if he were to get angry with him, they wouldn’t be friends anymore.

Shen Chi remained silent for a long while, his gaze fixed ahead, his eyes filled with endless confusion and melancholy.

After a long while, he finally said heavily, “Congratulations.”

These three words, he meant them sincerely.

The bitterness of parting and reunion, it had not been easy for Li Beiting and Yu Weiwei to reach this point.

Isn’t this world full of more farewells than meetings?

His heart raced, his blood rushing to his brain, his body slowly cooling, and his hands gripping the steering wheel stiffening as if he had just walked through an ice cellar.

Although Li Beiting was ecstatic beyond words, the sound of Shen Chi’s low voice made him restrain his exuberance somewhat.

He knew that Chaomu had lost a child before the New Year, and this news undoubtedly reopened wounds in his heart.

Li Beiting didn’t say much more, just, “Thank you, thank you.”

“Boy or girl?” Shen Chi hooked his lips slightly but still asked.

“Boy,” Li Beiting said.

“That’s great, congratulations,” Shen Chi once again congratulated them.

“Then I won’t disturb your rest anymore, it’s getting late, you should sleep early as the Group’s work must be very busy,” Li Beiting said.

“Mm,” Shen Chi responded faintly, his voice barely audible.

Hanging up the phone, Li Beiting sighed. It seemed Shen Chi still hadn’t walked out of the shadow of losing Xu Chaomu and her child.

That powerful man, in front of Xu Chaomu, all his strength was reduced to nothing but an empty shell, easily shattered.

As long as it involved anything related to Xu Chaomu, his entire soul seemed to be entirely fixed upon it.

Li Beiting then called several other friends, but he did not call his parents.

He knew that, although his parents disowned him as their son, they kept track of his every move, all the time.

The news of Yu Weiwei having a baby was something they could not possibly be unaware of.

During the half-year he left the Li Family, he hadn’t made a single call to his parents and they hadn’t called him either; the family had become no different than strangers.

The Mi Family couldn’t afford to concern themselves with this marriage anymore, as their company had already been thrown into chaos.

The Shen Group said it wanted to acquire Mi Family’s company, and Mi Fei’s father was trying to maneuver and constantly asking the Li Family for help.

The marriage was the Li Family’s fault to begin with, and Li Beiting’s father gave a lot of help to the Mi Family, but there was nothing he could do for Li Beiting.

To this day, Li Beiting hadn’t felt a single hint of regret.

He had also found that by just boldly taking a small step forward, taking the slightest stand, life could change so drastically.

If he had married Mi Fei, he would have had wealth and money now, but would he be happy? The answer is no.

But now, he was living happily every day.

He had managed Yu Weiwei’s institute well, not only turning losses into profit but also repaying the money owed to Shen Chi and the bank.

Now, the institute had many patients every day, and because the publicity was good and the medical team was highly skilled, Sunshine Institute’s reputation was excellent.

Yu Weiwei was also happy; she knew that Li Beiting, the executive, would definitely have the best way to manage the institute.

She hadn’t misjudged him, it’s just that the salary she paid Li Beiting was still so meager.

Li Beiting was angry, but whenever he got angry, Yu Weiwei would threaten him, “If you dare to be mad, I’ll run away from home with your baby!”

In the end, Li Beiting could only roll his eyes at her and silently sit in the corner drawing circles with his pitiful salary.

Now, with Yu Weiwei’s baby born, he was happier than anyone! Of course, all his efforts were worthwhile!

He hadn’t expected to become a father so soon, completely unprepared.

But when he touched the baby’s chubby little face, he felt enveloped by a happiness that was indescribable.

It was because this happiness was unlike any other that he could profoundly understand the emotions Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu felt when they lost their baby.

“Beiting, Beiting, the baby is crying!” Yu Weiwei called out.

Li Beiting quickly put away his phone and pushed the door open.

Indeed, as the door opened, the loud wailing of “wah wah” was deafening – Yu Weiwei tried both coaxing and deceiving, but she couldn’t calm the baby down.

The little guy’s face was red from crying, his tiny fists flailing about, very restless.

This little one had come out a few days before the expected due date, and Li Beiting hadn’t yet had time to hire a nanny for mother and child.

Right now, in this single room, there were only Yu Weiwei and Li Beiting.

“Wah wah…”
