If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1099 - Chapter 1099 Chapter 1099 Hand Her Over to Shen Chi

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Hand Her Over to Shen Chi Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Hand Her Over to Shen Chi Xiao Mo had not only arranged for a Mr. Zhu, but he had also privately tracked down every man who had communicated with Bai Man over the phone.

Bai Man couldn’t bother to care whether these men were sincere or not; as long as the money was in the account, she would acknowledge anything.

To secure the two hundred million US dollars, Bai Man hadn’t slept well for days; she didn’t want to go to prison!

Sleeping with a man for one night was better than jail time; it wasn’t like she hadn’t slept with men abroad.

She thought she had handled everything flawlessly, but she had no idea that pictures of her sleeping with different men had already landed in Xiao Mo’s hands.

She also believed that Shen Chi’s only intention was to use the two hundred million US dollars to trouble her, and perhaps send her to prison, never realizing the fundraising itself was a trap after trap.

The deadline was midnight, and when the time came, Shen Chi personally called her.

“Miss Bai, how goes the collection of the two hundred million US dollars?” his tone was neither cold nor warm.

“Do you think two hundred million US dollars can stump me? As I’ve said, the Bai Family has plenty of money. You, Shen Chi, allying with the Bai Family would be a formidable union, but if you, Shen Chi, were to oppose us, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be a profitable endeavor.”

Shen Chi’s lips curved slightly, betraying a mocking smile, but he didn’t spill the beans, simply saying, “Oh, it seems that two hundred million US dollars is not a problem for Miss Bai.”

“I’ll transfer it to Shen’s account. Shen Chi, you don’t need to rush me in the middle of the night.”

“No, I’m just giving you a gentle reminder.” Shen Chi stated blandly, “Tomorrow, I will have Lawyer Chen have another talk with you.”

“That contract, get Lawyer Chen to bring it to me!”

“No problem, oh, and don’t forget some shares of your Bai Family’s company.” Shen Chi reminded kindly.

“I know,” Bai Man gritted her teeth.

“As long as you know,” Shen Chi dropped a remark and hung up the phone with a cold smile.

After hanging up, he sent a text message to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo had just finished work and was about to sleep when he received the text from Shen Chi, immediately arranging matters for the next day.

Just as he put down his phone, he heard the cries of “wah wah.”

The little guy was awake again; he shook his head helplessly.

Heading downstairs, he found the nursemaid walking back and forth in the living room with the little one in her arms.

“Hungry?” Xiao Mo asked.

“No, he just can’t sleep,” the nanny replied.

“I’ll do it.” Xiao Mo reached out, wanting to hold the little guy.

“I should continue. Xiaobao won’t sleep anytime soon, and it’s late. You should go to sleep, sir. You have work tomorrow.”

“It’s okay; I’m used to it.”

When Xiao Mo insisted, the nursemaid didn’t argue anymore and handed the crying little one over to him.

The little guy was crying hard, his face turning red; Xiao Mo took him, but he kept crying.

“Alright, Xiaobao, be good, don’t cry.” Xiao Mo extended his thumb, gently touching the little guy’s soft face.

His hold on the child was skilled, and after soothing him for a while, the little guy truly stopped crying and was obedient.

“Sir, Xiaobao is really attached to you. I was trying to calm him for a while and he just kept crying, but when you held him, he stopped,” the nursemaid said with surprise.

Xiao Mo just smiled, not saying much.

No matter how close they were, he was nothing more than an uncle without any blood relation. His real closeness would be with his own parents.

“You should go sleep; I’ll soothe him until he’s asleep, then I’ll head to bed,” Xiao Mo said.

The nursemaid nodded, “Okay, sir, I appreciate it.”

“It’s nothing.” Xiao Mo assured her. “By the way, recently when you’ve been out, has anyone been following you?”

“Not at all,” the nursemaid shook her head. “Besides, I barely go out.”

“Good, go to sleep.”

“Alright.” The nursemaid agreed and left the living room.

In the quiet of the night, only Xiao Mo and the little one were left.

Holding Xiaobao, his soft, tender body offered a unique sensation. Xiao Mo didn’t want to let go; he grew fonder of it.

After bringing the child home for several days, he had unknowingly grown fond of having another child in the house.

He used to prefer working overtime at the company, but now, he enjoyed going home right after work.

Xiaobao’s little hands kept moving about; even when they accidentally grabbed Xiao Mo’s neck, he wasn’t upset but bent down to kiss him instead.

“Tickle tickle,” the little one giggled.

“You should be happy, Xiaobao,” Xiao Mo cooed. “Be like your mom, don’t be like your dad.”

It seemed like Xiaobao understood Xiao Mo’s words, and his laughter grew even happier.

His smile bore a resemblance to Xu Chaomu, but it was his large eyes that were the most similar to Xu Chaomu’s.

When Xiao Mo looked into his eyes, he was reminded of Xu Chaomu…it was very much alike.

And at times in the twilight, he would miss her too.

After playing with the little one for a while, Xiao Mo’s phone chimed with a message.

Picking it up, he saw it was from Xu Chaomu.

Just a few short words: I’m at A City Airport, ready to head back to Jin City.

Xiao Mo’s heart skipped, an airport?

He glanced at the time; it was nearly one in the morning. Was she, alone, going back to Jin City at this hour?

Worried, he quickly made a call.

“Chaomu, at this late hour, such a big deal and you didn’t even discuss it with me?” Xiao Mo placed Xiaobao on the sofa, his voice tinged with urgency.

“You…haven’t slept yet…” Xu Chaomu sounded apologetic, “I thought you’d be asleep, so I sneaked you a message.”

“Tell me what’s going on.”

Xu Chaomu shook her head, gazing at the bustling crowd in the airport, a touch of wistfulness in her eyes.

Softly and lightly, she said, “Nothing serious; just felt like returning. I’ve been in A City for quite a while. I want to go back and have a look. Don’t worry, I have to come back to A City; after all, my work here isn’t finished.”

“Next time something like this comes up, discuss it with me in advance.”

“Are you mad?” Xu Chaomu prodded carefully.

Xiao Mo sighed resignedly, “No.”

“I’m sorry, really…I got a late-night flight, it’s cheaper.”

“You!” Xiao Mo was at a loss for words. “Are you really short on cash? It’s not safe for a girl to travel alone at night. If you’re short on cash, tell me; haven’t I told you many times before? If you keep this up, I really won’t feel at ease about you.”

What he implied was, if she continued like this, he would have no choice but to leave her to Shen Chi.

“It’s truly okay…” Xu Chaomu, taken aback by Xiao Mo’s anger, hung her head like a child who had done something wrong, “Don’t be mad; I’ll text you all the time.”

“I’m arranging for someone to go to Jin City to pick you up right now,” Xiao Mo said sternly.
