If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1152 - Chapter 1152 Chapter 1152 Did He Get Married

Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Did He Get Married? Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152: Did He Get Married? “Come on, Xiaobao, call me ‘godmother’!” Xu Chaomu teased intentionally.

Xiaobao hardly knew how to call her godmother; he could only flutter his big eyes and smile with joy and contentment.

Before, Xu Chaomu had not noticed, but this time, upon closer inspection, Xiaobao’s smile revealed two shallow dimples.

Hmm, it turned out there were quite a few people with dimples.

She had faint dimples herself, and if she remembered correctly, someone else did too. However, that person rarely smiled, so… it wasn’t visible to those who weren’t particularly close.

“My goodness, he doesn’t know how to speak yet,” Xia Chuqing harrumphed, “Starting tomorrow, I’ll buy him gifts to bribe him.”

“Sounds good.”

“What should I buy for a little child? I see lots of toys and clothes here, did you buy them? It doesn’t seem like it, I’ve seen these clothing brands before, they’re quite expensive,” Xia Chuqing said.

“Why couldn’t I have bought them? I earn quite a good salary.”

“Do you? A month’s salary could only afford two outfits, right?” Xia Chuqing prodded on purpose.

Definitely something fishy, Xu Chaomu wouldn’t be willing to buy such expensive clothes for a child…

Could it be that friend of hers, Xiao Mo?

Thinking of Xiao Mo, Xia Chuqing pursed her lips and asked nonchalantly, “Speaking of which, where is Xiao Mo? Why haven’t I seen him around? Does he still visit you?”

“He’s on a business trip to South Africa, and he won’t be back for a while.”

“South Africa? Nice place; someone like him should definitely go there to toughen up!” Xia Chuqing said, her face showing schadenfreude.

“Huh? Why are you so happy?”

“No, no, nothing,” Xia Chuqing waved her hands repeatedly.

She still remembered their encounter at the airport and always thought about getting revenge, but it had been a long time since she had seen that man…

How could she get revenge if she couldn’t even see him?

“Today is Saturday, come with me to the supermarket later to buy groceries,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Sure, Chaomu, can I borrow Xiaobao to play for a bit?”

“Go ahead.”

Xiaobao looked at Xu Chaomu and Xia Chuqing with a face full of grievance, thinking Baby is not a toy, Baby is not a toy!

But Xia Chuqing really started to play seriously with Xiaobao; this cute baby, she couldn’t help but adore him.

Xu Chaomu went to the bathroom on her own to wash clothes. Since it was Saturday, the cleaning lady wouldn’t come. It was just as well that Xia Chuqing was there to help watch over Xiaobao for a bit.

Xia Chuqing discovered that Xiaobao truly had lots of toys, some of which even had their tags intact.

Her cousin had just had a baby and also bought many toys and clothes for the baby.

Even though her cousin’s family was quite wealthy, they wouldn’t buy such expensive things for an infant.

Xia Chuqing was very curious, who could the wealthy benefactor be?

In her view, Xiao Mo was already an elite and very rich; could it be Xu Chaomu knew someone even wealthier than Xiao Mo?

“Xiaobao, who bought these things for you?” Xia Chuqing asked softly.

Xiaobao stared at her, not understanding, and merely reached out to grab at Xia Chuqing’s hair.

“Is someone pursuing your mom?” Xia Chuqing asked again.

“Boo, boo…” Xiaobao said.

“Ew,” Xia Chuqing showed disgust, “I can’t understand.”

Xiaobao also looked disgusted, as if to say, You can’t understand baby talk.

Xia Chuqing played with Xiaobao for a while with tangrams and Rubik’s cubes, then suddenly exclaimed in amazement, “Chaomu, your baby is so smart; he knows how to play with tangrams! He’s so young and can already play!”

Xia Chuqing’s eyes widened as the little guy’s hands moved around.

“Hmm?” Xu Chaomu glanced over, nonchalantly saying, “Of course my baby is smart.”

“Did you teach him that?”

“No, he learned it on his own.”

“Who would believe that? Can anyone learn this stuff on his own? He’s only so old…”

“My son is just smart,” Xu Chaomu said with an air that brooked no argument.

Xia Chuqing had a face full of exasperation, “Fine, fine, fine, your son is smart, my godson is awesome!”

Xiaobao seemed to detect that someone was praising him, looked up and giggled non-stop, and even crawled around on the sofa a couple of times.

When he was pleased, he would throw his toys everywhere, tossing the little white rabbit, the little dinosaur, and the little goldfish all over the place, with Chuqing struggling to pick them up in time.

“Chaomu, where did you adopt such a cute son from? Can I go adopt one too? How can there be such an adorable little guy, and he can throw dolls? Hey, don’t throw anymore!” Chuqing stepped in to stop him.

“Wouldn’t it be better to have your own?”

“Where could I have such a cute baby?” Chuqing said, “The key is, he’s also very beautiful, the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.”

“What’s the use of being beautiful as a child? You never know how ugly he might become when he grows up.” Xu Chaomu huffed coldly.

Xiaobao seemed to already be sensitive to the word “ugly”; he glanced at Xu Chaomu and pouted his lips.

“Hahaha, he’s angry, Xu Chaomu, who told you to call him ugly? He looks so upset.”

Xu Chaomu turned his head to look and indeed he was huffing and puffing.

“He’s not old, but he’s got quite the temper,” Xu Chaomu said, “This guy is far from perfect, you haven’t seen him when he throws a tantrum; it really makes you want to throw him out to the wolves.”

“Wow, seriously?” Chuqing was curious, “Will he be difficult to take care of in the future?”

“No worries, I’ve taken care of more difficult ones,” Xu Chaomu curled his lip.

“Who?” Chuqing asked, letting her curiosity get the better of her.

“You,” Xu Chaomu said teasingly.

“…” Chuqing felt as if she had suddenly been shot in the knee.

After hanging the clothes, Xu Chaomu went to the supermarket with Xia Chuqing. The last time they had shopped and bought things together was half a year ago, back in winter.

Time flies so fast…

“Chaomu, that, will Xiao Mo ever come to Jin City to see you again?” Chuqing asked nonchalantly.

“Not really.”

“Has he… got married?”

“He has.”

“Ah? Really? Oh…” Suddenly, Chuqing felt a wave of complex emotions.

Xu Chaomu sneakily glanced at her, hmm, she seemed to have realized something.

But Chuqing waved her hands dismissively, “Don’t overthink it, he offended me last time, I just thought that if he’s married, let it be.”

“Is there any logical connection between the two?”

“No.”

“…” Xu Chaomu’s face was lined with exasperation.

So, after shopping around for a while, Xu Chaomu noticed that Chuqing was distracted.

“Cough, do you know what Xiao Mo’s wife looks like?” Xu Chaomu asked purposefully.

“What does she look like?” Chuqing blurted out and then realizing she might have overreacted, she murmured, “What his wife looks like has nothing to do with me, not curious at all.”

“Oh, if you’re not curious, never mind.”

“You can still tell me, it’s boring shopping anyway!”

“Um… She’s like you, quite similar to you, fair, slim, tall, but his wife is more ladylike than you.”

“Am I not ladylike? You haven’t seen me when I meet foreign visitors, representing the school, speaking fluent English, so refined and gracious…” Chuqing muttered.
