If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 987 - Chapter 987 Chapter 987 I Wont Have Another Child With Him

Chapter 987: Chapter 987: I Won’t Have Another Child With Him Chapter 987: Chapter 987: I Won’t Have Another Child With Him Later, when she arrived in Jin City, she was alone here. She could cry unrestrainedly, sobbing wildly through the night.

She was truly in so much pain…

The baby had been in her womb for over seven months, and she had doted on him like a treasure. But eventually, the baby was gone. Even now, she would dream of holding her own child every night.

She had thought that after the New Year, her baby would be born, and she could spoil him without restraint.

However, now, on New Year’s Eve, the night of reunion, there was only the night, without reunion.

Xiao Mo’s heart stirred. He had never had children, but he understood Xu Chaomu’s feelings.

He nodded, “Whatever you’re thinking, just tell me.”

Xu Chaomu put away her sadness and said to Xiao Mo, “I’ve thought about it for a long time. Don’t call me naive.”

“Let’s hear it then,” Xiao Mo smiled.

“After the New Year, I’m going to find a job. It’s not hard to find a job in a small place like Jin City. So during this time, I want you to help me… adopt a child,” Xu Chaomu said seriously, “Once my job is stable, I can take the child back and raise him myself. Could you help me look out for one? I’m serious.”

Xiao Mo paused, lifted his head, and glanced at Xu Chaomu through the rising steam.

In her eyes, he saw hope and also pleading; she was indeed serious.

For a while, both Xiao Mo and Xu Chaomu fell silent.

“Actually, you are still young. In the future, you can also have a child of your own,” Xiao Mo said.

Xu Chaomu shook her head, “I don’t want to give birth again.”

“But you will eventually get married. After you’re married, won’t you plan to have children?” Xiao Mo said.

“Didn’t you also say that until a certain person gets married, I am not allowed to marry? How would I know when he will get married? Besides, adopting a child doesn’t conflict with getting married. The person I marry in the future, if he doesn’t like the child I adopt, then there’s no need for us to get married.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mo found Xu Chaomu’s words quite reasonable.

He also knew that losing that child had weighed heavily on her heart, making her especially eager to have another child, even if the child wasn’t biologically hers.

“Xiao Mo, in a word, will you help me or not?” Xu Chaomu cajoled and threatened.

“Why don’t you look for one yourself? At a welfare institution, an orphanage, there are many such children,” Xiao Mo said.

“I don’t want to get entangled with the child’s biological parents, and you are more capable of helping me clarify a child’s background,” Xu Chaomu said.

Xiao Mo really underestimated Xu Chaomu. He laughed, “You have thought this through very meticulously.”

“What else? I still want to live a good life,” Xu Chaomu said.

Xiao Mo said, “Then have you ever thought about it, if that time I had taken you back to C City, back to the side of President Shen, what would you do?”

“The same. I would adopt a child. I wouldn’t have children with him again,” Xu Chaomu said lightly, her tone unmistakably resolute.

“President Shen would spit blood if he heard you say that,” Xiao Mo chuckled.

“So, it’s better for him not to look for me again,” Xu Chaomu said calmly, “A person like him wouldn’t accept spending a lifetime without his own biological children. Instead, it’s better for him to marry a girl who matches him in every aspect. A happy family, that would be good.”

“You really know how to think for him,” Xiao Mo was unconvinced.

“Is that wrong?”

“Right, everything you’ve said is right.”

“So that’s good, back to the main point, will you help me with this favor?” Xu Chaomu asked him.

“You’ve been asking me for quite a few favors now, but I don’t seem to have seen any benefits,” Xiao Mo teased on purpose.

Xu Chaomu thought for a moment, shaking her head: “I don’t have any benefits to give you, or maybe in the future, when you come to Jin City, I’ll be your free tour guide, offering you free food, drinks, and fun.”

“If you have the inclination, I don’t have the time,” Xiao Mo refused.

“What should I do then, I have no benefits to offer. You’re just like someone else, both of you are like shrewd merchants.”

“Alright, just joking. Have you really thought this through, wanting to adopt a child? You should know, raising a child is not cheap, can you handle it on your own? Raising a child is not the same as raising Wealth.”

“I will do my best.”

“Have you really thought it through?”

“Yes, I’ve thought it through very clearly, living alone is always too quiet, having a child would make it much better,” Xu Chaomu said.

Xiao Mo nodded, he knew that having a child would make things much better and could also help Xu Chaomu move out of the shadows.

“What are your requirements for the child? Do you want a boy or a girl?”

“If finances allowed, I’d like to adopt a pair, heh, just the thought of it is blissful.”

Immersed in her fantasy, Xu Chaomu thought how joyful it would be to truly have a son and a daughter. How fun it would be to have two kids running behind her, even if they were not her own.

“Unfortunately, I can’t adopt two children,” Xu Chaomu said with regret in her voice, “As you said, I can’t afford it. So, help me out, boy or girl doesn’t matter, as long as they’re healthy and lively.”

Xiao Mo saw in her earnest eyes that she really wanted a child.

Adopting one would be good too, at least, if she really doesn’t want to go back to Mr. Shen in the future, she would have a child to accompany her.

“Xiao Mo, do you think it’s fate? I was adopted by the Shen Family when I was young, and now, I’m going to adopt a child too,” Xu Chaomu said with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

“Don’t think too much, you’ll be happy in the future,” Xiao Mo looked at her.

The large room was warm and cozy.

“You’re right, in the future, we will both be happy,” Xu Chaomu smiled and said.

“So… how old of a child do you want?” Xiao Mo asked.

“Not too old, I want to cultivate a bond with them from a young age, preferably one who hasn’t started remembering things yet,” Xu Chaomu said, “I’ve thought it all through.”

“You’ve really thought everything through, now I understand, you’ve been considering this for a really long time,” Xiao Mo said, “I underestimated you, hiding it for so long, you could actually fool Mr. Shen.”

“Don’t underestimate me; his EQ is so low, deceiving him is just a matter of minutes,” Xu Chaomu said disdainfully.

“If he heard what you just said, he’d spit up blood again.”

“Enough, let’s not talk about him anymore. My relationship with him is all in the past now,” Xu Chaomu said.

She poked a meatball in her bowl and tossed it into her mouth, eating it.

However, although she said that, after all those years of spending day and night together, she would still think of him in certain situations.

For instance, while eating meatballs, she would remember how in the past, she couldn’t pick them up, always dropping them on the floor, and he would call her “clumsy.” While calling her clumsy, he would also fish meatballs out of the soup to put in her bowl.

In love, everyone is a fool, after all.
