If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1309: Shameless, Unrivaled in the World

Xu Chaomu held her phone and complained to Shen Chi: "They’re all so fierce and ferocious, like owner, like dog."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Nothing, just that you should hurry back, I’m so bored."

Xu Chaomu took a sip of juice and gently stroked her lower abdomen.

Her belly wasn’t showing yet, but she had been experiencing strong pregnancy reactions these past days, spending every morning hunched over the sink throwing up.

At times like these, she always wished Shen Chi could be by her side. Even if he couldn’t alleviate her pregnancy symptoms, at least, it would be very sweet.

"Mhm, wait for me."

"I am waiting for you, I wait for you every day, but... you’re still not here." Xu Chaomu’s eyes held a hint of disappointment.

Hearing this, Shen Chi felt an inexplicable heartache. He really wanted to fly to her side and gently stroke her face.

At that moment, Xu Chaomu felt a wave of nausea in her stomach and couldn’t help but rush to the sink to vomit.

"Mumu, what’s wrong?" Shen Chi heard the noise and quickly asked.

"I caught a cold, missing you too much," Xu Chaomu huffed.

"What did I tell you, to take good care of yourself, but you never listen," Shen Chi chastised her like a child. "If you have a cold, take medicine right away. I’ll have them find you a doctor."

"No, no, no, it’s not necessary. As long as you come back, there will be no problem. So, you’re more useful than a doctor," Xu Chaomu coaxed him.

Shen Chi let out a gentle sigh: "Then drink more hot water and remember to cover yourself well at night, don’t catch a cold again. Otherwise, I’ll worry."

"Got it, got it! I’ll be obedient," Xu Chaomu huffed.

"Mhm."

"It’s nighttime there, right?" Xu Chaomu asked. "Any plans for tonight? I heard the girls abroad are pretty."

"None are as pretty as you."

"That’s very comforting to hear."

"Then you should be happy, okay?"

"Sure, sure, sure, so cheesy." Xu Chaomu couldn’t help laughing, "Why are you so cheesy today? It’s making my teeth fall out."

"Take care of yourself, if you’re cold, take some medicine, don’t make me worry."

"It’s because I miss you, you know how many days it has been since I last saw you," Xu Chaomu pouted.

Yes, she hadn’t seen him for almost half a month. She had thought she would see him when she came to the Maldives, so she was somewhat disappointed.

"How about taking a few selfies and sending them to me, hubby?" Xu Chaomu propped up her chin.

"Only girls like taking selfies," Shen Chi scoffed.

"Oh, then never mind, I won’t bother with you anymore, hanging up!" Xu Chaomu snapped and really hung up the phone.

"Hello." Shen Chi laughed helplessly; she really had hung up on him.

Xu Chaomu tossed her phone on the sofa and touched her stomach, saying, "Baby, you better not learn from your dad, claiming only girls like taking selfies, when it’s clear he just doesn’t want to send me pictures."

She really missed him, so much...

And she missed Xiaobao too...

Thankfully, there was still one in her belly to keep her company, otherwise, she would truly feel lonely.

After a while, her phone buzzed.

Xu Chaomu picked it up and saw that Shen Chi had indeed taken a few photos for her.

Xu Chaomu smiled, opening each photo one by one. There’s no denying it, some people are just natural models with good figures and good looks, gorgeous from every angle.

Xu Chaomu stared at the screen, watching smittenly.

Soon, the phone vibrated again, and a message popped up: "As a return, here’s mine."

Xu Chaomu also casually took a few pictures and sent them over.

Xu Chaomu felt that under her influence, someone was becoming more down-to-earth, at least he would send her pictures and queue up to buy her milk tea at the tea shop’s entrance...

Xu Chaomu watched him smittenly, and soon enough, he sent her another message: "Your face is so white, isn’t that too much beauty filter? It’s not realistic, thumbs down."

Crap! Xu Chaomu almost threw her phone! Did she need beauty filters?! And thumbs down!

She replied: "Is it wrong to have good lighting? Does being fair-skinned need a reason?"

"That’s also my credit, keeping you fair and plump," Shen Chi replied.

"Fine, fine, fine, it’s all your credit, my poor studies are also your credit."

"Your poor studies are my fault, you’re just too pretty, it’s always distracting you."

Crap! Xu Chaomu held her forehead, couldn’t he be a bit more modest?

Xu Chaomu kept texting Shen Chi, the two of them engaged in a war of words, neither willing to concede. However, Xu Chaomu still lost to someone’s shamelessness.

As they say, one who is shameless is invincible, and Shen Chi is just like that.

After chatting with Xu Chaomu all night, Shen Chi’s mood improved a lot, the oppressive feeling before a storm lifted.

But he glanced at the time, it was already 9 PM, he bid "Goodnight" and put away his phone.

He drew back the curtains, outside it was pitch black, only the dim light of street lamps flickering in the darkness, with the faint outlines of trees visible.

After changing into a black trench coat, Shen Chi left the room.

The appointed time had arrived, Xiao Mo was waiting for him in the garage.

"President Shen, please get in the car. I’ve received a message at the dock, and tonight someone is definitely making a shipment. It’s very possible that Vice President Shen’s men are involved."

"Mm," Shen Chi sat in the backseat.

A handgun lay on the rear seat, which he tucked into his waistband before his eyes grew stern and he looked forward.

"President Shen, I estimate that during the money and goods exchange, several powers will appear, we’ll need to be careful then."

"Have the evidence we’ve gathered these days been handed over to Li Beiting?" Shen Chi asked in a serious tone.

"I’ve sent it all, don’t worry. President Li has been in good spirits recently. He’s reconciled with his family, the old Master Li has forgiven him, and he has often been bringing his wife to visit the Li Family."

"Tell him to be careful."

"Mm," Xiao Mo nodded.

The car drove out of the manor and onto a narrow road, surrounded by darkness, with only the sound of wind rustling through the leaves.

No other car was seen on the road, only their black Porsche moving along, the beams from street lamps somewhat dazzling.

The second hand on Shen Chi’s watch kept ticking, everything felt oppressively silent.

To break the silence and the tension, Xiao Mo initiated, "President Shen, concerning this matter, Vice President Shen is indeed ruthless. Zhou Peitian and Zhuo Fan, who have worked for him, are dead, and those are just the ones we know about."

"They’re just pawns, disposable when it’s time," Shen Chi said calmly, his expression stern.

"Vice President Shen’s temperament is somewhat similar to yours in some aspects, but also quite different in others," Xiao Mo commented.

"Since when have you started analyzing personalities?" Shen Chi remarked indifferently.

"..." Xiao Mo was sweating; was it wrong to try and find a topic of conversation?

Consequently, silence fell in the car again.

Xiao Mo drove carefully, while Shen Chi sat in the back, gazing straight ahead.
