If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1179 - Chapter 1179 Chapter 1179 Your Mom Doesnt Like Your Dad

Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: Your Mom Doesn’t Like Your Dad Chapter 1179: Chapter 1179: Your Mom Doesn’t Like Your Dad He didn’t know what “eight eight” meant, but Handsome Uncle seemed to really like hearing it.

So he would call out a few more times, and Handsome Uncle would like him a lot and would buy him nice clothes…

“Eight, eight…” Xiaobao really did call out again.

Xu Chaomu lifted her head, and Xiaobao was peeking out from her embrace towards Shen Chi, looking delighted and gazing at Shen Chi expectantly.

Handsome Uncle didn’t seem angry anymore, but Handsome Uncle was so scary when he was angry.

However, Xu Chaomu was angry now, why was he still calling “daddy”? Was he addicted to it?! Aside from these two words, did he not know anything else?!

“Mhm.” Shen Chi responded, glancing at Xiaobao, “Go back with your mother, your mother doesn’t like daddy.”

Shen Chi’s tone was indifferent, but it carried a bit of arrogance and grievance.

Xu Chaomu got even more angry upon hearing this. It was lucky that Xiaobao didn’t understand anything, otherwise, he would surely think she was bullying him!

Seeing that Shen Chi wasn’t as enthusiastic, Xiaobao also felt very wronged. Did Handsome Uncle not like him anymore?

How could one not like Xiaobao, Xiaobao was so cute.

So, Xiaobao murmured and called out “eight, eight” again…

Each call seemed to melt Shen Chi’s heart, not to mention Wen Zhiyuan, an outsider, who also felt a touch of warmth at the sound.

“Xiaobao, no more calling!” Xu Chaomu disappointingly interrupted him, stuffing something tasty into his mouth.

Xiaobao pouted and silently ate, not calling out anymore.

“What’s there to call about,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently, “Let’s go home with mom.”

Saying this, Xu Chaomu prepared to leave with Xiaobao in her arms.

Wen Zhiyuan shook his head; Xu Chaomu was truly heartless, ready to leave Shen Chi behind for good–it was, of course, something only Xu Chaomu would dare do.

“You can’t retain anything, so you might as well leave,” Shen Chi spoke indifferently, his voice filled with endless disappointment.

Could she truly not be retained by anything? Was it because of a lack of affection that she couldn’t be kept?

If that was the case, what could he use to warm her heart? She seemed to have no heart left…

Xu Chaomu paused her steps and twitched the corners of her lips, but ultimately said nothing, and instead continued walking towards the exit of the ward.

Wen Zhiyuan cast a disdainful glance at Shen Chi. This man was typical of spoiling things; was this how to treat a girl?

He had gone through great lengths to deceive Xu Chaomu into coming from Jin City, even sacrificing his perfect image in her mind, wasn’t it for their reconciliation?

Now, this emotionally unintelligent man was actually letting Xu Chaomu leave…

Didn’t he have any clue how to chase a girl?

Wen Zhiyuan was truly at a loss. He shook his head and said, “I should head back to the department too.”

Shen Chi remained silent, and Wen Zhiyuan followed Xu Chaomu’s footsteps out.

He quickly caught up to Xu Chaomu in a few swift strides.

“Chaomu, wait,” Wen Zhiyuan approached her.

Xu Chaomu stopped, looking up at him while holding Xiaobao.

“I’m not advising you to go back,” Wen Zhiyuan said quietly, “However, your departure is going to upset someone again. When his mood is bad, he takes it out on everyone and brings trouble upon himself. If I remember correctly, he suffers from a headache condition, doesn’t he? It developed from the long-term drinking and insomnia over the past five years while he missed you. Back then, he also brought trouble upon himself, drinking until he had a bleeding stomach and refusing to listen to advice. As long as he couldn’t find you, he couldn’t pick himself up.”

Wen Zhiyuan just calmly spoke to Xu Chaomu, his face gentle like the surface of a lake.

“Of course, the trouble he brought upon himself is his own doing, so you needn’t worry about him. No matter how much he can’t sleep, has stomach bleeding, or suffers headaches, it has nothing to do with you,” Wen Zhiyuan continued.

Xu Chaomu remained silent, while Xiaobao munched on something, and for a while, only Wen Zhiyuan was speaking.

“Chaomu, I deceived you today, and I’m really sorry. I apologize to you,” Wen Zhiyuan said.

Luring Xu Chaomu over by feigning a serious illness was truly a clumsy move. However, it was still evident that Shen Chi held a place in Xu Chaomu’s heart.

It also illustrated one thing, Xu Chaomu hadn’t stopped loving Shen Chi; she was simply too afraid to love again.

The pain of losing a child is an unbearable agony that every mother in the world cannot endure, and Xu Chaomu was no exception.

It had only been half a year since the incident; the shadows in Xu Chaomu’s heart must still be deep.

Fortunately, the son she brought back was quite adorable.

Now, Xiaobao finished the food in his mouth. He opened his eyes wide to look at Wen Zhiyuan, then glanced around.

He didn’t see the handsome uncle…

“I’ll go back to my department to prepare patient files now. There’s another surgery in the afternoon,” Wen Zhiyuan said, nodding to Xu Chaomu, then brushed past her.

The faint scent of disinfectant on him was particularly calming.

Xu Chaomu hugged Xiaobao tightly, her eyelids drooping low.

Upon reaching the corner, Wen Zhiyuan paused slightly in his step.

Transparent as Wen Zhiyuan’s mind was, how could he not realize that Xu Chaomu was also extremely stubborn?

Even if he said all that, even if Xu Chaomu was moved, she wouldn’t possibly go back now.

That was something Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi had in common–stubbornness to an excessive degree.

At a time like this, it was Shen Chi who should be bowing his head.

So, Wen Zhiyuan quickened his pace to the department, then immediately made a call to Shen Chi.

Shen Chi, at first, did not answer. Without option, Wen Zhiyuan had to send him a text message: “She’s at the stair entrance. Whether you chase her or not, to give up or to continue, it’s up to you.”

After sending it, he put down his phone and no longer worried about their affairs, focusing entirely on his own work.

Shen Chi saw the text message. He thought that Xu Chaomu had left.

After reading the message, Shen Chi really didn’t know how to feel, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Eventually, he put on a coat, got out of bed, and chased after her.

The corridor was chillingly cold and growing more quiet and solemn due to the lack of people daring to approach.

Walking down the hallway, Shen Chi could hear the sound of his own footsteps.

Indeed, he had not walked far when he saw Xu Chaomu standing by the elevator doors.

She was still waiting for the elevator…

Xiaobao lay in her arms, seemingly tired, and had already closed his eyes to sleep.

Xu Chaomu was just slightly lifting her head, staring blankly at the numbers on the elevator.

The red numbers jumped from “8” to “1,” then back from “1” to “8,” repeating the cycle over and over again.

And Xu Chaomu stood still, just quietly watching the numbers change back and forth, over and over.

Her gaze had a hint of confusion; the numbers were clearly changing, yet she seemed to see nothing at all, unresponsive.

Xiaobao was already asleep in her arms; she hugged Xiaobao tightly and gradually… lowered her eyes.

Shen Chi walked towards her, and from the side, he clearly saw a trace of bewilderment and loss in her eyes…

From a not too close nor too far distance, he called out to her, “Mumu.”
