If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1298: Betting One’s Own Life

Shen Chi’s tone was casual, but it carried a sharp command within its lightness.

Actually, he had said these words to Xiao Mo many times already, despite Xiao Mo always trying to persuade him.

This time, Xiao Mo remained silent, not speaking.

Shen Chi said indifferently, "Do you trust me or Shen Shihan?"

"Of course, President Shen," Xiao Mo still had a hint of worry between his brows, "But this place is Vice President Shen’s territory. He has been entrenched here for years, colluding with local Mafia Forces. It’s not the fear of the probable but the fear of the possible."

"Just trust me, this matter wasn’t impulsively begun today; we’ve been planning for so long, it’s time to settle it." Shen Chi said decisively.

"President Shen, is there really no other way?"

"You mention another way for me to hear." Shen Chi glared coldly at him.

Xiao Mo fell silent, if there were any other way, they wouldn’t have chosen this path.

Many times they had been counterattacked by Shen Shihan, this was the last chance, either Shen Chi loses, or Shen Shihan loses, there is no third possibility.

"If you’re not in a hurry to go back, sit for a while, the black tea here is good." Shen Chi poured him a cup.

"President Shen, have you considered all the consequences?" Xiao Mo said.

He had no desire to drink tea; ever since arriving in the United States, he had been deep in thought every day. He knew, although Shen Chi appeared calm, his heart was tumultuous.

"I considered them many years ago," Shen Chi said.

"Since you’ve considered them, then you shouldn’t have gotten involved." Xiao Mo was somewhat agitated, "Leave this to me, I can handle it. At worst, it will be a mutual loss, but you, President Shen, must not get into trouble!"

"You don’t need to persuade me further, if I didn’t have this much ability, what would I use to protect her," Shen Chi said indifferently.

Xiao Mo, of course, knew whom he referred to by "her."

"But this time it’s no small matter!"

"Do you think I don’t understand?!" Shen Chi said vehemently, "I don’t want to discuss this issue anymore. What you need to do is make the plan as detailed as possible, not persuade me here!"

Silence, the room suddenly fell into silence.

Xiao Mo knew, he couldn’t persuade Shen Chi to turn back anymore.

Finally, he nodded, "President Shen, I won’t persuade you anymore."

"Mm."

"But you promise me, no matter what happens, think of Chaomu." Xiao Mo’s face was grim.

"Mm."

Xiao Mo didn’t speak further, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank in one gulp. The black tea was indeed good, but the taste was endlessly bitter.

Shen Chi’s gaze wandered over the computer screen, he understood all this too.

This time, regardless of success or failure, he would not gamble with his own life.

He always remembered that time in the cave, she said, if something happened to him, she would definitely follow him, for certain.

So, he too would definitely not gamble with his life.

Even if he lost everything, he always knew, he still had her.

"Have you properly communicated with Beiting and domestically?" Shen Chi asked.

"Mm, rest assured, Li Beiting is very efficient in his work; he has already connected with his police brothers. As soon as the good news comes from our side, he will immediately lead people to seal the residence of Vice President Shen and take his people away."

"Mm." Shen Chi nodded heavily.

After draining the cup of black tea, Xiao Mo stood up. "Mr. Shen, if there’s nothing else, I will head back. You must be tired from checking the port these past few days, please rest early. If you get tired, a certain young lady will scold me."

Speaking of which, Xiao Mo chuckled.

In his heart, Xu Chaomu was still that young girl, who loves Shen Chi unconditionally.

Nobody could shake Shen Chi’s place in Xu Chaomu’s heart, even when she left him.

Shen Chi didn’t say anything, silently consenting for him to leave.

After taking a bath, Xu Chaomu wanted to talk to Shen Chi, but worried that he might be tired, she pretended to go to sleep herself and sent him a "Good night."

Shen Chi picked up his phone and stared at those two words for a long time, a slight smile curving his lips.

How could Xu Chaomu sleep? After hearing Shen Chi’s voice that night, she couldn’t fall asleep at all.

Shen Chi was her poison. Ever since she was ten, she could never go back.

She thought, if only he had grown up to be less attractive, maybe she wouldn’t have liked him. But ironically, he not only didn’t grow ugly, he even became more mature and charming.

The poison only got deeper.

Xiaobao was left with the butler, who particularly liked Xiaobao. Every time he saw Xiaobao, he would say Xiaobao resembled the young fourth master, even his frown looked the same.

Xu Chaomu always just smiled. After all, this is her biological son, how could he not resemble her?

Xu Chaomu lay in bed, gently caressing her belly.

"Baby, are you a boy or a girl? Do you like your brother Xiaobao? You have to be born healthy, mommy will love you so much."

For some reason, Xu Chaomu always felt uneasy, especially these days, the feeling grew deeper.

What exactly was Shen Chi’s business trip for? It felt different from a usual business trip. Why was even Lu Feili trying to pry information from her both overtly and covertly?

But Shen Chi didn’t talk to her about it, and she couldn’t guess either.

Thinking wildly, she dozed off, one hand tightly clutching her quilt, the other resting on her belly.

...

After a few days, the weather warmed significantly, and the willow branches turned a deeper green, bringing endless spring vibes to the mountains and riverbanks.

Dewdrops in the early morning on the branches shimmered with multicolored light, sparkling like jade beads.

One foggy morning, Xu Chaomu received a call from Yu Weiwei.

"Chaomu, come with me to the plaza."

"Hm? Why the sudden urge to go shopping? Are you going out to flirt?"

"Flirt your sister, I’m too old for that, just want to buy some pretty clothes."

"Oh, oh, wedding anniversary? Anniversary of the first time we met? Anniversary of the first kiss?"

"Just your mind always twisting things. Come over, I’m waiting for you," Yu Weiwei said. "It’s that AG Plaza we used to love shopping at."

"I can go shopping, but just so you know, I can only keep you company for a little while and if I say I’m tired, you have to indulge me," Xu Chaomu said.

"What? Became so delicate after marrying Mr. Shen?"

"Let me tell you, I wouldn’t have told you if you didn’t drag me shopping. I’m pregnant."

Yu Weiwei gasped in surprise, her eyes widening. "Wow, pregnant? How many months? Does Mr. Shen know?"

"Almost two months now, he doesn’t know yet, and you can’t tell anyone."

"Alright, alright, I understand!" Yu Weiwei said. "Just accompany me to a few stores later, we won’t shop too much."
