If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1274: His Temper Has Improved a Lot

"Don’t worry, you’ll have several children in the future. You love kids so much, you definitely can," Xu Chaomu comforted her.

Mo Shuifu smiled: "I guess Shihan would find it noisy."

"Don’t try to guess what’s on a man’s mind. Men are all the same, acting like they don’t care on the surface and appear indifferent, but in reality... they all desire to have children more than anyone," Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

At least, that’s how Shen Chi is.

"Is that so." Mo Shuifu smiled too.

Because of her health, Shen Shihan hardly ever mentioned having kids; he just wanted her to be happy.

She still understood Shen Shihan very well; she knew he actually longed to have a child.

"Shuifu, let’s find another coffee shop to chat, it’s been so long," Xu Chaomu suggested.

"Sure, there’s a nice one nearby that I frequent."

Mo Shuifu had her driver take them to a coffee shop not far ahead. The place wasn’t crowded but was quite elegant, fitting Mo Shuifu’s style.

The rich aroma of coffee filled the air. Xu Chaomu really liked the vibe, and went upstairs with Mo Shuifu.

"Shuifu, you’re pregnant, you can’t drink coffee. You need to take care of your health," Xu Chaomu reminded her.

"Mm, I won’t drink coffee."

As they spoke, they were about to head towards a spot by the window, where the sunlight was bright and a small potted plant sat on the table.

"Chaomu."

Just then, a deep male voice came from a corner.

Xu Chaomu was stunned, and turned her head; it was Nie Chenglang.

Nie Chenglang bent his lips into a smile at Xu Chaomu, his eyes clear and bright.

"Your friend?" Mo Shuifu asked.

Xu Chaomu nodded: "Yeah, a friend."

Mo Shuifu felt he looked somewhat familiar, but she didn’t dwell on it and smiled: "Why don’t you two catch up then? I’ll take a walk around."

With that, Mo Shuifu prepared to head downstairs.

She noticed the way Nie Chenglang looked at Xu Chaomu was different, filled with inexhaustible tenderness.

A man’s tender gaze towards a woman signifies something; she naturally understood.

"Shuifu!" Xu Chaomu called out, but Mo Shuifu just smiled and went downstairs.

Nie Chenglang walked over; he looked down at Xu Chaomu: "Out shopping?"

Xu Chaomu nodded again: "Yes, with a friend."

"The weather is pretty good today, suitable for shopping. Can... can you sit with me for a while?"

"Are you alone?"

"Yeah, alone, so it’s quite a coincidence," Nie Chenglang said with a tinge of smile.

As Xu Chaomu got closer to him, she could still smell his familiar scent. Different from Shen Chi, Nie Chenglang was gentler and more refined, whereas Shen Chi was more domineering.

She had also thought many times, if she had met Nie Chenglang first, would things be different...

Nie Chenglang ordered her a cup of coffee; he knew what she liked to drink, how much sugar she preferred.

"Didn’t you go to work today?" Xu Chaomu asked.

"I did visit a client’s company, but I felt a bit tired halfway and decided to sit in a coffee shop, didn’t expect to bump into you," Nie Chenglang said with a smile, "Our encounters are always so full of coincidence."

"Hehe, quite a coincidence," Xu Chaomu also smiled.

"Have you been... doing well recently? Still staying at the Shen Family?"

"Hmm, I’ve moved back from Jin City and am still living at the Shen Family. Someone has been pretty good to me and Xiaobao, and his temper has improved a lot."

Speaking of this, Xu Chaomu revealed a happy, wifely smile.

Nie Chenglang felt a multitude of emotions upon hearing this.

He nodded: "I wish you well, I’ve always hoped that you would be happy. Since you’ve chosen him again, I’ll be happy for you."

"Um... He’s changed a lot compared to before, and he’s very good to Xiaobao. Maybe after all our ups and downs, we’ve both changed," said Xu Chaomu.

"If he treats you well, that puts my mind at ease." Nie Chenglang didn’t say anything else, "Then from now on, I’ll just be Uncle Xiaobao."

"Sure, Xiaobao would definitely like that," Xu Chaomu laughed, "I’ll bring him out to see you when I have free time."

"I’ve only met him once, but I miss him. The little guy does look a lot like you."

"Really?" Xu Chaomu smiled, many things she had not shared with too many people.

Some things, it’s better the fewer people know.

"What are your plans for the new year?" Xu Chaomu asked, "Continuing to manage your family’s company? Or... have you considered finding a girlfriend?"

"If I don’t manage my family’s company, nobody else will," said Nie Chenglang with a bitter smile, "As for a girlfriend, that will come later."

He glanced at Xu Chaomu, perhaps some fates are determined right from the start.

But after five years of being together, she still wasn’t his.

Some people are destined to be passersby.

"Your family... is it cooperating with my third brother Shen Shihan?" Xu Chaomu asked tentatively.

She didn’t understand much about business matters, and Shen Chi rarely talked to her, but she still knew some things.

"Is that so? I’m not too clear on that, my mother handles the big projects, and I’m still learning. There are many things she doesn’t let me touch."

"Your mother is quite domineering."

"Yeah, you’ve met her," Nie Chenglang chuckled bitterly, "Even though she hasn’t been in good health lately, she still personally looks into big matters."

"But I’ll probably never get to see her again in the future," Xu Chaomu took a sip of her coffee.

"Why do you suddenly ask about this?" Nie Chenglang was curious.

"Oh, it’s nothing. Just asking out of curiosity," Xu Chaomu changed the subject.

Some things, indeed, Nie Chenglang does not know.

That smear on the Shen Group, probably was also a decision made by Nie Chenglang’s mother herself.

She trusts Nie Chenglang...

But the Feili Group’s ongoing cooperation with Shen Shihan wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

"Chenglang, if you take over the group in the future, you can consider working with Shen Chi; you know his capabilities," Xu Chaomu advised.

Nie Chenglang just laughed: "If there’s a chance, it’s worth considering. But, I’m afraid President Shen wouldn’t give Feili that opportunity."

"If you are determined to work with Shen Chi, I can help you," said Xu Chaomu, "But I fear your mother might disagree."

"Mm... Yes, I trust President Shen’s abilities, but it’s difficult to say with my mother," Nie Chenglang smiled, "Why have you suddenly taken an interest in business? I remember your elective finance courses in college were a headache."

"No, no, it still is a headache for me." Xu Chaomu laughed, "Let’s talk about something else, shall we?"

The two sat face to face, just like when they were in Paris; they used to meet up and chat whenever they had time.

Xu Chaomu propped her head up, it all seemed like a dream.

She and Nie Chenglang were drifting apart...

But that was alright, in the future each would have their own paths.

As they were chatting, suddenly the sound of high heels "clattering" came from downstairs.
