If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1142 - Chapter 1142 Chapter 1142 Chaomu Ill Chase You

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Chaomu, I’ll Chase You Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Chaomu, I’ll Chase You Shen Chi was alone in the Waterside Pavilion, looking at the empty house, as he poured himself a glass of red wine.

The wind outside shook the trees in the garden relentlessly, the leaves falling one by one, scattering across the ground.

He realized that he hadn’t seen Xu Chaomu for many days.

These days, he had been so busy with the Bai Family’s affairs that he couldn’t bring himself to trust Ruan Hang with everything.

That day, Ji Shengxuan had called him to go drinking at the club, but he wasn’t in the mood, so he declined.

The night sky was very dark, with visibility almost nil everywhere. The street lamps had been drenched by the rain, their lights blurring into halos, dreamlike and hazy.

Sitting in front of the French windows, he found himself missing that little guy.

Remembering his smile, the corners of Shen Chi’s lips involuntarily lifted, forming a gentle curve.

With that thought, he made a call to Xu Chaomu.

It was also raining in Jin City, even harder than in C City, a torrential downpour.

“Hello,” Xu Chaomu answered, frowning.

She was trying to put Xiaobao to sleep, and Xiaobao was very naughty today, crying nonstop.

“Is it raining in Jin City?”

“Mm,” Xu Chaomu responded indifferently.

“Have you and Xiaobao had dinner? Was Xiaobao well-behaved today?” Shen Chi asked.

Xu Chaomu didn’t say anything but put the phone next to Xiaobao’s ear.

Xiaobao’s crying was loud; Shen Chi frowned and quickly moved his phone slightly away from his ear.

“You tell me if he’s well-behaved,” Xu Chaomu said flatly.

“…” Shen Chi’s mouth twitched, “Really hard to soothe. Should I drive over and try to calm him?”

“Do you need something? If not, I’m going to hang up, I’m very busy.”

“Nothing, just missing you.”

“Those words might work on a little girl, but not on me. You miss me, I don’t miss you.”

“Aren’t you just a little girl in my heart?” Shen Chi laughed.

Although Xu Chaomu’s attitude wasn’t great, listening to her was something he had grown accustomed to. Somehow, he found himself not getting angry at all.

He remembered how, in the past, he used to yell at her for anything she did, but now it was completely different.

Looking out at the rain, he missed her deeply.

He missed her hanging on his neck, softly calling him “Brother Si,” her sleeping in his arms, clutching at his waist, her endless chatter…

In short, he truly missed everything about her.

“Shen Chi, hasn’t anyone ever told you that your sweet talk can give someone goosebumps?” Xu Chaomu said bluntly, “Also, young girls tend to be naive and easily deceived. I’m not a young girl anymore.”

“I’ve only ever said these things to you, and since you didn’t tell me, how was I to know it would cause goosebumps?” Shen Chi laughed, “Young girls may be naive, but your EQ isn’t necessarily high either.”

“If there’s nothing else, don’t call me anymore.”

She realized that Shen Chi was in a good mood today, but after spending the night trying to pacify Xiaobao, she was feeling irritable.

“Should I just come and see you?”

“No, don’t come!” Xu Chaomu emphatically refused.

“But I really miss you, sometimes so much that I can’t sleep…”

Xu Chaomu felt Shen Chi was being shamelessly flirty tonight, and she bluntly said, “I, don’t, miss, you!”

“Chaomu, let me pursue you,” Shen Chi said seriously, putting away his smile.

Xu Chaomu was stunned, holding the phone, momentarily unable to respond.

“I’m serious,” Shen Chi added.

He was serious, all those years, it had always been her chasing him. She was probably tired; it was time for him to chase her…

The rain outside the window was falling, and she, usually so talkative, suddenly didn’t know what to say, feeling only a slight sourness in her nose.

“If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as your consent,” Shen Chi said shamelessly.

“There are plenty of people chasing me, you can go line up,” Xu Chaomu said lightly, effectively rejecting him.

“Then I’ll start lining up, I’m quite confident in myself,” Shen Chi responded.

“You don’t meet any of my standards for a boyfriend, save your energy, chasing someone else would be better, you’re not my type.”

“Really? I’m not your type? Don’t you like tall, handsome, and intelligent men?”

“Just a lot of nonsense.”

“…”

Xu Chaomu was relentless, putting down her phone and hanging up.

She threw the phone on the bed and hurried to comfort Xiaobao.

Xiaobao had been crying all night, and she didn’t know why; not even his favorite White Rabbit candy could stop his tears.

Xu Chaomu fed him milk, but he didn’t drink it and spat it out when he did.

“Baby, be good, don’t cry, are you feeling unwell somewhere?” Xu Chaomu touched his forehead.

No fever…

She thought it might be due to the weather, as children can be restless during storms.

Not just Xiaobao, she herself felt a bit irritable and uneasy.

As for Shen Chi, he seemed to be in a relatively good mood, although Xu Chaomu had hung up on him but it wasn’t the first time. Patience was needed when pursuing a girlfriend.

However, he had never really chased a woman before. It had always been women chasing him, including Xu Chaomu.

He frowned, wondering how to pursue her.

He sipped some red wine, staring out at the rain silently.

By midnight, the rain intensified, with both C City and Jin City under heavy rainfall, with the storm in Jin City being even more furious.

It was a white blindness everywhere between heaven and earth, fogging up with rain, humidity heavy in the air.

No other sounds could be heard, just the “whoosh” of the torrential rain falling from the sky, occasionally mixed with the dull sound of thunder.

When the thunder struck, Shen Chi couldn’t sleep and woke up.

He knew she was terribly afraid of thunder.

Indeed, Xu Chaomu hadn’t slept, her heart pounding with every bout of thunder.

But she was alone in Jin City, with nothing to rely on. No matter how scared she was, she had to bear it alone, especially now that she was Xiaobao’s mother.

She closed the windows tightly, but the sound of thunder was still very clear.

Xiaobao had been frightened awake, having slept only about half an hour all night.

“Wah wah…” Xiaobao’s cries were loud.

“Baby, don’t be scared, Mommy’s here…” Xu Chaomu hurriedly got out of bed, carrying him to the living room.

The living room was much quieter during the thunder, and whenever lightning flashed, she quickly covered Xiaobao’s ears.

Still, Xiaobao kept crying, unstoppable by any means.

Xu Chaomu glanced at the time; it was already past two in the morning.

With lightning flashing and thunder crashing outside, she had always been terrified of this kind of weather, but now, as she said herself, she wasn’t a little girl anymore.

She turned on the light and sat on the sofa, trying to soothe Xiaobao.

She gave Xiaobao his favorite blocks and toys, but he remained disobedient and kept crying.

Xu Chaomu felt like crying herself, finding it so hard to console him…

“Xiaobao, if you keep crying, Mommy won’t like you anymore, and will throw you out to be eaten by wolves…” Xu Chaomu tried both coddling and deceiving him.
