If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1289: Xiaobao is Your Biological Son

His eyes were filled with tenderness and reluctance; Xu Chaomu also couldn’t bear to part.

She could only hug him, coaxing him like she would Xiaobao: "Alright, alright, be good, get up."

Shen Chi laughed, planting a kiss between her brows before he finally got out of bed to wash up.

When he came out, Xu Chaomu neatly tied his tie for him.

No longer like before, clumsily almost choking him with the tie, her technique had now become very adept.

Despite the multitude of reluctance in her heart, she ultimately had to send him away.

Xu Chaomu walked him to the front door, the morning mist had not yet cleared, and she stood at the door, waving to him.

Through the hazy mist, she dared not get any closer; she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears. Although it was just a business trip, her heart surged with a myriad of emotions, like ants gnawing at her heart.

Shen Chi also feared these moments of farewell; he stepped into the car and directly ordered Xiaogao to drive, without looking back.

The car left the splendid world behind, but Xu Chaomu remained standing at the door, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"Fourth young madam, it’s very cold outside, please come back in," a servant said from behind her.

Wearing only her pajamas, Xu Chaomu turned her head upon hearing the servant, "Alright."

The damp mist had moistened the wispy hairs on her forehead; she took the coat the servant handed her, and walked back into the house.

As soon as she entered, she heard Xiaobao crying; Xu Chaomu’s heart jumped, and she quickly ran over.

"Fourth young madam, the young master is crying," a servant brought Xiaobao to her, "I think he woke up, but he refuses to drink his milk."

"I’ll hold him," Xu Chaomu reached out her hands.

"Alright, here."

Xiaobao cried vigorously, his eyes turning red.

"Baby, are you also upset because daddy has gone out?"

"Wu wu..." Xiaobao just cried, rubbing his eyes.

They say there’s a bond between father and son, it seems to be true; Shen Chi had just left, and Xiaobao started crying.

Xu Chaomu didn’t find it annoying; she just carried him around the living room. She tried to soothe him for a long time, but Xiaobao continued to cry.

Shen Chi was also feeling uneasy; although it wasn’t the first time he had briefly parted ways with Xu Chaomu, this time, his heart was overwhelmed by a strong feeling— a feeling indescribable and unclear.

After getting in the car, he rested his head, closed his eyes, and pondered. His eyebrows were continuously furrowed, and he remained silent.

Xiao Mo had been waiting for him at the airport already; he was the only one from Shen Group who came.

Upon reaching the airport, Xiao Mo took Shen Chi to the VIP room.

"Li Beiting didn’t come with you, did he?" Shen Chi asked.

"No, rest assured on that."

"Hmm."

"Mr. Shen, your family..." Xiao Mo hesitated.

"They’re all settled," Shen Chi gave him a glance, "You’re asking a bit too much."

"I’m just a bit worried..."

"Worried about Chaomu, right?" Shen Chi said gravely, "It seems there are some matters I haven’t settled with you yet."

"I didn’t mean to hide Chaomu’s whereabouts deliberately; during that time, Chaomu really didn’t want to see you," Xiao Mo spoke.

Talking like this was akin to touching a tiger’s butt, but he knew that Shen Chi would not do anything to him as he was still his companion to the United States.

"Is ’Chaomu’ what you should call her?" Shen Chi said coldly.

"..." Xiao Mo’s face fell, "Yes, Mrs. Shen."

"Do what you have to do." Shen Chi warned him.

"I know." Xiao Mo said.

"It’s good that you know." Shen Chi spoke with an icy tone, "Xiaobao was switched with someone else and almost got hurt. Why didn’t you mention a single word about it to me? Do you still consider me your superior? I assigned you to investigate this matter, yet you kept it from me for a whole year?!"

"Chaomu... oh, Mrs. Shen already told you."

"Are you guys together deceiving me?! You’re quite bold! Do you really think I wouldn’t dare do anything to you?!"

"No, no, no, President Shen, you might send me away to South Africa, maybe next time it’ll be Iraq or Syria..." Xiao Mo scoffed.

"It’s good that you know!" Shen Chi gave him a disdainful glance.

"President Shen, it wasn’t my intention to hide it from you; I consulted Mrs. Shen’s opinion... she always felt, she and you don’t get along." Xiao Mo said, "Your temper... is indeed bad."

"Do you believe that I would throw you out of the plane?"

"Of course, Mrs. Shen told me now, you’ve changed a lot." Xiao Mo quickly corrected himself.

"Are you still talking to her on the phone?" Shen Chi’s eyes narrowed, his gaze turned murderous.

"Normal communication." Xiao Mo stated candidly.

Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Mo’s phone rang; it was Xu Chaomu making the call.

Xiao Mo answered the call, but with a cold glance from Shen Chi, he had to put it on speaker.

"Xiao Mo, have you reached the airport? I heard from Shen Chi that you would accompany him."

"We’ve arrived, the plane will take off in a bit."

"Then I’ll trouble you to take care of him, don’t find it too bothersome to assist him, I beg you, he’s relentless when it comes to work." Xu Chaomu worriedly said.

Shen Chi’s face blackened; he wasn’t a three-year-old child!

"Okay, okay, as an assistant, I will definitely take good care of President Shen’s daily needs."

"Thank you."

"Do you... want to say a couple of words to President Shen?"

"No, let’s not talk to him, I’m afraid I can’t help but head to the airport the moment I hear his voice." Xu Chaomu’s voice lowered.

Shen Chi felt a surge of warmth in his eyes and stayed silent.

"Don’t worry, this isn’t our first trip."

"Mm-hmm." Xu Chaomu nodded, "I forgot to tell you, I had a paternity test done between Shen Chi and Xiaobao."

"When?"

"Just a few days ago, Xiaobao is Shen Chi’s biological son, he was very happy."

"Really? What does President Shen look like when he’s happy?" Xiao Mo said, intentionally glancing at Shen Chi.

Shen Chi snatched Xiao Mo’s phone and hit hang up!

If he hadn’t hung up, who knows what else they would have discussed in front of him!

"President Shen... Xiaobao is your biological son." Xiao Mo said.

"Mm."

"Mrs. Shen asked me to look into this matter, but there was something fishy." Xiao Mo became serious and told Shen Chi all that he knew, including obtaining a problematic video.

This was the first time Shen Chi had heard Xiao Mo talk about this matter. He listened carefully and then shouted, "Xiao Mo, just how much more are you hiding from me?"

"..." Xiao Mo quickly stepped away from Shen Chi, "Nothing else, really nothing else."

"Why didn’t you tell me about these matters immediately?"

"This was something Mrs. Shen tasked me with; at that time, Mrs. Shen’s child was ’gone’, she said nothing mattered anymore and told me not to tell you."

Shen Chi fell into silence; the events that happened during that time had hit her hard, from the moment she learned the child was gone, she probably contemplated leaving him.
