If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1081 - Chapter 1081 Chapter 1081 Not His Dad

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: Not His Dad Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: Not His Dad The little fellow looked left and right, blinking his big eyes.

As he got closer, Xiao Mo noticed that the little guy’s eyelashes were long and black, and looked particularly charming. His two big eyes seemed like they could talk, brimming with liquid innocence.

Xiao Mo liked this child from the bottom of his heart, and reached out to lift him from the car.

The little one wasn’t heavy, which gave Xiao Mo a rather strange feeling.

The rain was still falling, and the collected water in the courtyard shimmered under the streetlights. Everything was very quiet at this hour, lit only by the silent courtyard lights.

Xiao Mo walked along the corridor towards the living room; although he was not practiced in holding children, he wasn’t bad at it either.

The little fellow stayed securely in the crook of Xiao Mo’s arm, his small hand occasionally touching Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo felt that this little guy was very well-behaved, not only good-natured but also adorable, and not fussy at all.

In this regard, he resembled Shen Chi a bit more.

Once they were in the living room, Xiao Mo set him down on the sofa and handed him a stuffed toy.

But the little fellow didn’t spare it a glance, seemingly finding the stuffed toy too childish.

Xiao Mo glared at him, and the little fellow glared back at Xiao Mo.

Well, Xiao Mo had no choice but to take back the stuffed toy.

It was a toy he had found with some difficulty, and now the child didn’t want it. With nothing else at home to play with, Xiao Mo could only sit next to him.

Fortunately, the night nanny arrived soon after.

“Miss, I’m sorry for calling you over so late,” Xiao Mo apologized.

“It’s all right, sir, this is my job,” the nanny smiled and replied.

“This… is a seven-month-old baby,” Xiao Mo pointed to the little one on the sofa.

The little fellow, with his head bowed, played by himself.

“No worries, sir. I have everything prepared,” the nanny reassured him.

“He hasn’t eaten anything all night, and I don’t know what to give him, so I’ll leave it to you,” Xiao Mo said.

“This… Sir, if I may ask, where is his mother?”

“On a business trip,” Xiao Mo casually replied.

“Oh, alright, I’ll go prepare some formula for him,” the nanny said.

The little fellow, oblivious to the presence of someone else at home, continued playing by himself.

Xiao Mo watched the little one, thinking how this cold house suddenly had a baby in it. The connection was… quite magical.

Xiao Mo grew fonder the more he watched, pitying that he wasn’t his child.

“Wuu wuu…” The little one mumbled unclear words, grabbing things on the sofa.

After a while, finding it not amusing, he sat in the corner of the sofa, stuck out his bottom, and dozed off.

“…” Xiao Mo first froze as he watched the little one fall asleep quickly, then he started to laugh.

He walked over, sat beside the little guy, and leaned over to spread a blanket over him.

Getting closer to the little one, he smelled that unique aroma of a baby – fragrant, sweet, a very clean scent.

Should he feel lucky that the little one was still well?

If something had happened to the little one he saw tonight, he probably wouldn’t know what extreme steps he might take.

Xiao Mo sat beside the sofa, keeping the baby company.

His usually dull home felt different at this moment.

After a little while, one of his subordinates called.

“Secretary Xiao.”

“Shush.” Xiao Mo stood up; not immediately speaking, he walked to the balcony.

“Go ahead,” only after reaching the balcony did he speak in a lowered voice.

“Secretary Xiao, we’ve checked everything in the car and we found that the medicine is a bit off.”

“Weren’t they shown to a doctor?”

“Yes, they were. The doctor said they might be drugs that affect child development, slowing it down significantly, especially intellectually.”

Xiao Mo clenched his fists subconsciously, his face ashen.

It seems these drugs were prepared by Bai Man again, how ruthless can this woman be.

“How much of the medicine has been consumed?” Xiao Mo asked.

“I checked the bottle I got, and it didn’t seem to be missing a few pills, but I’m worried there might be more,” his subordinate said.

Yes, he was worried there might be more. If only a few were missing, they could still remedy that, but if a lot were missing, what would happen to the little one…

His parents were so smart, how could he not be smart.

Bai Man, this woman, Xiao Mo really gritted his teeth at her.

“Make sure all these items are stored properly,” Xiao Mo instructed.

“Certainly.”

“Anything else unusual?”

“Nothing else has been found so far.”

“How is that woman being handled?”

“That woman was terrified into madness, she’s somewhat delusional now, just trembling and crying, unable to speak a word.”

Xiao Mo nodded, “I understand. Keep watching her and remember, don’t let anyone find out.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Mo hung up the phone. After this incident, Bai Man would definitely take action, and what he needed to do was get Shen Chi to move quickly to deal with Bai Man.

As long as Bai Man was around, no one could sleep peacefully.

Five years later, this woman’s methods were extraordinary and extremely vicious.

Xiao Mo fiddled with his mobile phone while standing on the balcony, lost in thought for a long time.

At this point, the rain outside was still falling, blurring the window. At the edge of his sight, he could see nothing but endless darkness and the storm.

After a long while, he took out his phone and called another subordinate.

“Secretary Xiao.”

“Has everything that happened tonight been taken care of?”

“It’s all clean, you can rest assured.”

“Don’t let anyone know, by tomorrow’s sunrise, it should be as if none of this ever happened.”

“Understood,” his subordinate replied, “Rest assured, President Shen won’t know either.”

“Mhm.” Xiao Mo nodded and then gave a few more instructions.

The call wasn’t finished when the little one woke up and started crying loudly.

“Hang up,” Xiao Mo quickly ended the call.

When he walked over, the nanny had arrived, and she soothed the little one, feeding him some milk.

Xiao Mo stood aside watching him. After crying for a while, the little one stopped, seemingly truly hungry, continuously drinking the milk.

Xiao Mo watched him with a satisfied face, unable to help but bend down and gently touch his cheek.

He had never liked a child so much before; he truly couldn’t bear it.

But ultimately, he wasn’t his father, not even a relative. The little one still had to go back to his parents…

The next day, the rain still hadn’t stopped, continuously falling but much lighter now, infusing the air with a fresh scent. The lawn had been washed, the green grass lusciously dripping, exuding a subtle charm.

Round raindrops constantly rolled on the leaves, slowly falling with the breeze.

Xiao Mo left the little one at home under the nanny’s care and went to the corporation to work.

Last night’s incident was kept very well hidden, without a single whisper of it leaked.
