If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1305: I Have a Surprise to Tell You

Xiao Mo analyzed, "But from this we can be certain that Vice President Shen doesn’t know you’re in the United States."

"He couldn’t possibly know." Shen Chi touched his chin.

He had kept it a tight secret. Apart from Xu Chaomu, he did not tell anyone. Now it seems, no one knows.

"Vice President Shen is truly cautious. I think we can send an email to Mrs. Shen, saying that you are in the Maldives waiting for her and invite her for a vacation," Xiao Mo suggested, "Vice President Shen knows that Mrs. Shen is of utmost importance to you, and wouldn’t let her take risks easily. He would certainly think that you are indeed in the Maldives."

"Letting her go to the Maldives alone, I am not at ease," Shen Chi frowned.

"I will arrange people there."

"If this has to be delayed for another ten days or half a month, how can I be at peace letting Chaomu be there alone? How could she not be suspicious?"

"I’m just making a suggestion. What we need to do now is divert attention. This move is foolproof," Xiao Mo said.

"I’m still not reassured."

"If you’re not reassured, you can go to the Maldives to accompany Mrs. Shen, and leave this place to me," Xiao Mo said.

He actually didn’t want Shen Chi to take this risk. Although it was a matter between the two brothers of the Shen family, Shen Chi was different. He must remain safe, and he still had to take care of Xu Chaomu.

"Let me think about it overnight, and have someone keep watching the port," Shen Chi said indifferently.

"Okay, I understand."

The two discussed the pros and cons for a while, but they both agreed that it was urgent to dispel Shen Shihan’s suspicions.

...

The next day, Shen Chi urgently flew from the United States to the Maldives, where he finalized a collaboration and held a brief product launch event.

Afterward, he called Xu Chaomu, inviting her to vacation there, and he announced to the board that he would stay there for a while longer.

The news spread very quickly, and Xu Chaomu was too surprised when she received the call from Shen Chi.

"So, you’re in the Maldives," Xu Chaomu exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, this product is quite confidential, so I hadn’t told you about it. Now that I’m here, come over, and I’ll keep you company."

"I have never been to the Maldives."

"It’s not too late to come now."

"But I’m afraid I might get dizzy on the plane," Xu Chaomu touched her belly, looking blissful.

"It’s okay, I’ll have someone take care of you all the way," Shen Chi said. "Or shall I come to pick you up?"

"No, no, there’s no need. You must be tired, rest well, and have someone pick me up," Xu Chaomu was still very considerate.

But lately, her pregnancy reactions were a bit intense, and she truly feared getting dizzy on the plane. However, the journey wasn’t very long, and she should be able to endure it. Besides, she had long wanted to visit that place.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you," Shen Chi said.

After saying those words, his heart felt a bit sour, because... he would not be in the Maldives waiting for her, but right now, he couldn’t say anything.

"Great! I have a surprise to tell you!" Xu Chaomu was excited. She must tell him in person about her pregnancy.

"Mhm." Shen Chi nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chaomu asked Butler Ling to pack her bags.

Butler Ling was happy to hear that Xu Chaomu was going abroad for a vacation, but also cautiously advised, "Take care on the way, and don’t catch a cold."

"Butler, I really want to take Xiaobao with me," Xu Chaomu said, still very reluctant to leave the little one behind.

She’ll be without her little one for a few days, but at least there’s another little one in her tummy to keep her company.

"Taking the young master on vacation is inconvenient. You and the fourth master should enjoy yourselves without him," Butler Ling said with a smile. "Don’t worry, I will take good care of the young master."

"Then let me hug him one more time," Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

She picked up Xiaobao from the ground, playing there, kissed him and said, "Baby, mommy isn’t intentionally leaving you behind. Mommy has never been abroad with your daddy for a vacation. I’ll definitely bring you a little gift, surely. Be good."

Xiaobao seemed to half understand, glanced at Xu Chaomu, but soon lowered his head again to continue playing with his toys.

Xu Chaomu kissed him a few more times, loath to part with him.

In the evening, as expected, Shen Chi sent someone to pick her up, and Xu Chaomu followed Shen Chi’s people to the airport, ready to head to the Maldives.

After calling Xu Chaomu, Shen Chi urgently flew back from the Maldives to the United States, of course, only he and Xiao Mo knew about this! Even Li Beiting and Xu Chaomu were kept in the dark!

"Mr. Shen, are you going to blame me for coming up with a bad idea?" Xiao Mo waited for him at the hotel. "I really didn’t have a better solution."

"This plan is pretty good, at least, Shen Shihan will believe I’m in the Maldives," Shen Chi said. "In Shen Shihan’s mind, Chaomu is someone who would never lie. Her every move, her emotions, are the least hidden."

"Yeah, Mr. Vice President’s men must have gone near Jinxiu World. If they get wind of this news, they’ll definitely report back to him at the first instance," Xiao Mo said. "However..."

"Speak your mind."

"However... you’ve deceived Chaomu..." Xiao Mo coughed lightly.

"I’ll explain to her later."

They rented a secluded manor to stay in, closely monitoring all port situations and the movements of those Mafia Forces.

But what Shen Chi didn’t expect was to receive a call from Mo Shuifu.

"Fourth Master," Mo Shuifu’s tone held a trace of panic.

"You are...?" Shen Chi didn’t have Mo Shuifu’s number, and his interactions with Mo Shuifu were even rarer.

"I’m Shui Fu," Mo Shuifu tried to calm herself down.

"Oh."

"Fourth Master, could you tell me... where is Shihan?" Mo Shuifu asked eagerly.

A look of indifference surfaced in Shen Chi’s eyes, that question, he wanted to know too.

"Has he returned to the country? Is he at the corporation?" Mo Shuifu asked.

Recently, she found out from Shen Shihan’s secretary that Shen Shihan had been on a business trip to the United States, but it had been so long and he hadn’t returned to the country.

She had already traveled to the United States, each time she called Shen Shihan, he’d say he was quite busy, or he’d hang up after saying a few casual words.

Mo Shuifu felt uneasy, and somehow, her thoughts kept returning to those arms in the Shen’s warehouse.

She vaguely felt that Shen Shihan’s business trip was connected to the arms trade, based solely on a woman’s intuition. So, she was very scared, but she dared not be explicit with Shen Chi.

"I’m not sure," Shen Chi said. "I’m in the Maldives waiting for Chaomu to come for a vacation."

Only then did Shui Fu nod with disappointment: "Oh, okay. Fourth Master, if you get any news of Shihan, please let me know."

Mo Shuifu usually wouldn’t reach out to Shen Chi, it was truly because she was very anxious this time.

"Mhm," Shen Chi agreed to her request.

"Thank you," Mo Shuifu hung up the phone.

"Mr. Shen, was that the third young madam?" Xiao Mo asked curiously.

"Mhm."
