If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1075 - Chapter 1075 Chapter 1075 Feeling of Unease

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Feeling of Unease Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Feeling of Unease After reading for a while, Xiao Mo felt a headache and stood up to go to bed.

In recent times, there had indeed been a great deal to handle, and similarly, Shen Chi also had a lot to manage. One wrong step could lead to unexpected mistakes.

Therefore, they both had to be extremely cautious.

It was raining today, and he did not feel very comfortable. He wanted to call Xu Chaomu but felt that doing so now would be too abrupt, so he abandoned the idea.

He rubbed his temples and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The heavy rain lasted all night long, with the wind and rain mixing together, lightning flashing, and thunder booming across the sky.

The wind swayed the branches, blowing the leaves to the ground where they scraped across the surface, dancing chaotically in the breeze.

The pond was filled to the brim by morning, and puddles along the roadside were also brimming with rainwater, turning everywhere into a vast swamp.

In the middle of the night, a huge clap of thunder woke Xiao Mo from his sleep. His sleep was already light, and the sound of the thunder left him wide awake.

His heart kept pounding, and he had a persistent feeling of unease.

He rarely felt this strong unease, but tonight, it was particularly evident.

His first reaction was to call Xu Chaomu, but it was the middle of the night, and calling at this time would indeed be abrupt.

But the person he cared about most was still her…

He sighed, cushioned his hands under his head, and stared at the ceiling.

The room was pitch black, he could see nothing, except when the lightning streaked across the sky and illuminated the beautiful crystal lamp on the ceiling.

The panicky feeling in his heart did not diminish at all; he wondered if it was because of the weather.

He glanced at his phone, and it was already past two in the morning.

These past few days, he had not been able to find out the whereabouts of Xu Chaomu’s child. It had to be said, Bai Man was exceedingly cautious; he even suspected that she had sent the child to some corner of the world.

Since she did not want him dead, she was certainly trying to either slowly torment him or use him.

Either way, the child was definitely not having an easy time.

How malicious could this woman be? Xiao Mo dared not imagine; he truly feared that when he saw Xu Chaomu’s child, it would be a scene he did not wish to see.

If the child was disfigured or missing a hand or a leg, how could he, Xiao Mo, ever face Xu Chaomu in this lifetime?

Yesterday, he had purposely leaked the news of Dr. Li’s daughter, hoping it would draw out Bai Man.

That woman was meticulous and sensitive; hearing the news, she would definitely be suspicious.

With suspicions, there would surely be actions.

Finding Xu Chaomu’s child was like searching for a needle in a haystack, but this method would definitely be effective.

Now, he just waited for news.

Throughout the day, Bai Man had been quiet, and Xiao Mo had people keep a close watch on her.

At this moment, he could not sleep at all. After staring at the ceiling for a while, he closed his eyes again.

The heavy rain lasted all night, but the next morning, the rain continued without any sign of stopping.

The overnight downpour caused the river to rise high, and the city’s drainage system was clearly inadequate, leaving a layer of water on the streets.

The whole day passed without any news, Xiao Mo felt uneasy. Even while working, he kept thinking about this matter.

The rain also continued throughout the day. Soon, the sky darkened, and still, there was no news.

Xiao Mo worked until 9 p.m., when it was already pitch dark outside, clouds looming over the city, and thunder roaring.

Almost all the lights in the building were out, and he knew Shen Chi had an engagement tonight and had gone to the hotel early.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the window, illuminating the entire sky. Xiao Mo’s heart raced uncontrollably, and he sat restlessly.

After securing the documents in his hands, he decided to stop working and head home.

It was already past 9 p.m., and his subordinates still hadn’t brought him any news.

Was this woman too cunning? She seemed completely indifferent.

Xiao Mo grabbed his car keys, went to the garage to fetch his car, and drove into the pouring rain.

As soon as he went out, the rain washed over the car windows. The rainfall was as if poured from a basin, and the wipers were of no help.

In C City’s summer, heavy rains were common, and such downpours were not rare.

Based on this situation, it would probably continue for several more days.

Halfway on the road, he received a call from Xu Chaomu.

“Xiao Mo, it’s raining in A City. It must be raining in C City too this season,” Xu Chaomu said.

“The rain is heavy in C City. Can you hear it?” Xiao Mo moved the phone slightly away from his ear.

Xu Chaomu, on the other end of the phone, heard the rain sound, which, filtered through the phone, seemed even more lingering.

In the past, she often liked to lean on the window and watch the rain in C City, especially enjoying the sight of a certain person standing silently in the rain with an umbrella.

Back then, Shen Chi wore a white shirt, a loner in his own world. His chin slightly lifted, his gaze profound.

But, the young man was no longer there; the mindset of his youth had faded like clouds.

“If you ever want to come back, Shen and I are both here waiting for you,” Xiao Mo said softly, returning the phone.

Xu Chaomu shook her head. “I won’t.”

She wouldn’t go back; she could find no reason to return.

“There’s nothing absolutely certain,” Xiao Mo said.

He continued driving and speaking with Xu Chaomu as raindrops fell on the windshield.

Xu Chaomu fell silent, not speaking for a long while.

After a considerable pause, she finally spoke softly, “Xiao Mo, I don’t know if it’s because of the rain, but I didn’t sleep well last night. I’ve been lethargic all day and at this point, I still don’t feel sleepy, rather my eyelids keep twitching.”

She didn’t know why, but she felt the urge to call Xiao Mo.

She suddenly missed C City, even though she had no connections to the city anymore.

“It might be because you haven’t rested well, try to sleep early and secure the doors and windows,” Xiao Mo said. “Don’t think too much.”

“I plan on going back to Jin City to bring Wealth to A City. If this project is still not over, I think I’d request a change of personnel,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Don’t,” Xiao Mo blurted out. “I’ve reviewed it; the project has a good outlook and requires high competence. Don’t give up easily.”

Actually, he didn’t want her to return to Jin City, at least not for a while.

“I don’t like the feeling of wandering outside; I’m tired of living in hotels,” Xu Chaomu said softly, her tone filled with a clear sense of sadness. “I like a simple life, whether it’s working nine-to-five or cooking and shopping; as long as it’s not wandering outside.”

Xiao Mo understood her feelings. Xu Chaomu had never had a complete home since childhood. Her extreme longing for a home was something others couldn’t understand.

She seemed playful and rebellious on the surface, but deep down, she longed for stability more than anyone.
