If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 841: The Child in My Belly Is Also Yours

Chapter 841 -841: The Child in My Belly Is Also Yours

Chaomu also fell silent as she quietly watched outside the window. The sunlight, like scattered gold, covered the ground with a warm golden hue.

Neither spoke, and an endless silence ensued.

It was a long, long while before Xiao Mo finally broke the silence.

“Chaomu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now,” his voice was lifeless and low.

After saying that, he hung up the call without waiting for Chaomu’s response.

Chaomu was startled—what had Xiao Mo just called her? ‘Chaomu’? She paused, puzzled. He had never called her that before.

That afternoon, Chaomu sat on the balcony, unable to eat anything—she just drank a glass of milk.

The exhibition was the day after tomorrow, and Shen Chi had said he would take her with him, but now, did he still want to take her?

Bai Man’s image lingered in her mind, impossible to shake. She wasn’t someone who dwelled on things, but now, it felt like something was stuck in her heart.

It turned out that her mood always fluctuated with his. If she didn’t care about him, why would she be upset over a single word he said or a frown on his face…

With these thoughts, she lowered her head, silently touching the glass in her hand.

There was still half a glass of milk in the cup, but it was already cold. Her fingers caressed the glass, gently touching it.

When Shen Chi came home in the evening, Chaomu was still on the balcony, only now the sun had long set and was replaced by a boundless night.

The balcony was free of the daytime bustle, instead now chilled by the night air.

Chaomu didn’t come downstairs, and the butler knocked several times but got no response; it wasn’t appropriate for him to keep bothering her.

The butler was somewhat worried. He feared that Chaomu might be overthinking—pregnant women are prone to that.

Eagerly awaiting Shen Chi’s return, the butler, upon seeing him, rushed to say, “Fourth Young Master, you’re back.”

It was already past nine o’clock in the evening, and Chaomu hadn’t eaten all day; the butler was concerned.

“Hmm.” Shen Chi responded indifferently, handing his suit to a servant nearby and changing into slippers.

“Fourth Young Master, have you had dinner yet?” the butler asked.

“Not yet.”

“Then that’s great. I’ll call the Fourth Young Lady; she hasn’t had dinner either.”

“Where is she?” Shen Chi frowned.

“On… the balcony.”

“What is she doing on the balcony in such cold weather?”

“Actually… the Fourth Young Lady has been on the balcony since noon and hasn’t come down…” the butler said. “I tried to bring her something to eat, but she wouldn’t open the door. I only took her a glass of milk.”

“What nonsense,” Shen Chi said coldly.

After speaking, he strode towards the balcony.

It was already nine o’clock at night, and she was still on the balcony?

“Bang, bang, bang,” he knocked on the balcony door, which was locked from the inside.

After several knocks with no response, Chaomu merely fluttered her eyelids.

The knocking wasn’t as gentle as the butler’s—it had an air of anger. She knew it must be Shen Chi.

“Chaomu, open the door!” Shen Chi called from the outside.

It was dark on the balcony; Chaomu hadn’t turned on the light. She turned her head, looking toward the door.

She knew Shen Chi was not a patient man. True to form, after a short lull, he had someone kick the door in.

“What are you doing on the balcony?” Shen Chi asked in a deep voice.

Chaomu gazed up at him with wide eyes, noting he hadn’t been drinking today; his complexion was fairly normal.

Xu Chaomu didn’t know what to say, so she lowered her head and silently stared at the glass in her hand.

In the glass, there was still half a cup of milk left undrunk, which under the night light, appeared somewhat murky.

Shen Chi hated seeing Xu Chaomu like this the most. Such a state made him feel particularly frustrated and agitated—she wouldn’t talk, laugh, or make a fuss.

“What are you overthinking?” Shen Chi raised his voice and called out again.

“I’m not thinking anything.” Xu Chaomu spoke indifferently.

She wasn’t overthinking. The one who overthought yesterday was him…

She had kindly offered him help, but he didn’t appreciate it and was very rude to her.

He clearly cared about what those people said, those people who claimed she was fooling around with her boss at her internship company.

“There’s nothing between Bai Man and me, don’t think too much,” Shen Chi said irritably, “I went to the party, and she and her boyfriend went to the party, that’s all.”

He thought she was upset about this.

“The one who got angry at me last night was you,” Xu Chaomu said, still with her head down.

“I was in a bad mood last night, don’t take it to heart,” Shen Chi’s tone softened.

“You always suspect me of having affairs with other men,” Xu Chaomu said, her face expressionless.

“I didn’t suspect you, I said, I was just in a bad mood!” Shen Chi repeated.

“I know, you care so much only because you’ve listened to others’ idle gossip, you’ve never been willing to believe that you were my first man, and the child in my womb is also yours.”

“Xu Chaomu, be reasonable, I told you I don’t care whose child is in your belly, but don’t try to fool me with such lies, do you really think I’m that stupid?!”

Shen Chi roared at her; he truly didn’t care whose child it was in her womb anymore. For so long now, he had already treated the child inside her as his own.

He would talk to the child in her belly and buy a lot of storybooks for him; he truly treated the child as his own.

Yet, Xu Chaomu always deluded herself and others, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

“You’re not stupid, I am,” Xu Chaomu said expressionlessly.

Shen Chi let out a cold laugh, “If you’re telling such a lie just to make me feel better, then let me tell you, I don’t need such ‘well-meant’ lies!”

“May I please ask you for one thing…” Xu Chaomu said.

Shen Chi frowned; he wasn’t used to her tone.

“Is that okay?” Xu Chaomu implored again.

“Say it,” Shen Chi said, feeling inexplicably irritated.

Xu Chaomu never used this tone with him before, and he didn’t like her talking to him like this.

“After the child is born, let him have a paternity test done with you,” Xu Chaomu said.

That was her only request. Whatever she said would never make him believe, and the only piece of evidence was gone.

“Hopeless!” Shen Chi said coldly.

She insisted on stabbing his heart with this request. She had previously wanted to have amniotic fluid drawn to perform a paternity test with him, and now she was hinting at the same thing.

Did she really need to see the words “No blood relation” before she would be at peace?

In this period, he had long stopped worrying about the child in her belly belonging to someone else. He considered the child as theirs, and never brought up the matter.

Today, she was reopening this wound.

“I think you’ve developed a delusional disorder!” Shen Chi said bluntly.

“Do you not agree?” Xu Chaomu looked at him.

She saw anger on his face, and she moved the corners of her lips slightly.
