If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1343 You Don’t Have to Please Me Anymore

"Daddy hug..." Xiaobao was being spoiled with Shen Chi again.

Xu Chaomu chuckled, she hadn’t expected both Shen Chi and her son to be so good at acting spoiled.

"Baby wants to sleep..." Xiaobao climbed onto Shen Chi, his little hands wrapping around Shen Chi’s neck in the same way Xu Chaomu often did.

"Thinking of daddy when you want to sleep, do you know what you did wrong?" Shen Chi teased him on purpose.

Xiaobao shook his head, looking innocent.

"Knowing it’s wrong but not correcting it, you’ll continue to stand as punishment when we get home."

"Daddy is a good person." Xiaobao tried to cheer Shen Chi up.

"Daddy is not a good person, you’re not admitting your mistake today, you’ll continue to stand as punishment when we get home until you realize your fault." Shen Chi scared him to see if he dared to call someone else daddy again.

"Baby did nothing wrong." Xiaobao still talked back to Shen Chi.

Xu Chaomu laughed out loud: "Look at you, how grown up you are, yet still holding grudges with Xiaobao. It was you who left him outside the door, he’s just upset."

Xiaobao leaned against Shen Chi’s chest, finding his father’s embrace very warm, and soon fell asleep, his little hands still holding Shen Chi’s.

Xiaobao’s even and warm breath tickled around Shen Chi’s neck, causing a tingling sensation, Shen Chi lowered his eyelids, watching the little guy in his arms.

The little guy looked a lot like him, Shen Chi watched and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Blood ties are a magical thing, hearing the little guy call him "daddy", there’s always a wonderful feeling in his heart, he really likes this feeling.

"Xiaobao is asleep, are you tired? If you are, I can hold him," Xu Chaomu whispered as she covered Xiaobao with a blanket.

"You are pregnant, it’s fine, I’ll hold him."

Xu Chaomu smiled at Shen Chi, this man looked so tender and gentle holding Xiaobao, his clean and handsome face filled with kindness and gentleness.

Sometimes Xu Chaomu looked at the tender Shen Chi and really couldn’t imagine his past coldness.

But, ah, this man was indeed cold in the past.

However, before, his identity was only the fourth young master of the Shen Family, General Manager Shen of the group, now... he is a husband and a father.

Xu Chaomu linked her arm with his, resting her head gently on Shen Chi’s shoulder.

Shen Chi turned his head to look at her, his smile even deeper.

This kind of happiness is what he feels is most real: having a loving partner and a well-behaved baby, they will never be apart again.

...

When they arrived at the Luo Family Medical Group, Shen Cexian’s surgery was already complete, Zhou Ran was feeding porridge to Shen Cexian.

Xu Chaomu walked beside Shen Chi with Xiaobao, Shen Chi gently knocked on the hospital room door.

"Who is it?" Zhou Ran asked.

"It’s me," Shen Chi responded in a deep voice.

Zhou Ran was startled, turning her head to Shen Cexian: "It’s Achi coming back."

Shen Cexian didn’t say anything, maybe he was tired, or maybe he didn’t want to speak, Zhou Ran stood up and said: "I’ll go open the door."

When the door opened, Zhou Ran immediately saw the calm and composed Shen Chi, and of course, Xu Chaomu beside him.

Xiaobao, particularly scared of hospitals, had already hidden behind Xu Chaomu, Zhou Ran didn’t notice him at first.

"When did you come back? Did you rush back from the United States?" Zhou Ran asked softly.

Shen Chi nodded: "Just got off the plane."

"Come in, don’t just stand at the door." Zhou Ran said, "Your father’s surgery is done."

"How did the doctor say?" Shen Chi asked concerned.

"The surgery went alright, but your father is still quite weak and needs to recuperate slowly." Zhou Ran hesitated slightly before speaking.

"That’s good."

Xu Chaomu nodded slightly and called out, "Auntie Zhou."

Zhou Ran didn’t say much, just glanced at her.

When Shen Cexian saw Shen Chi enter, he lifted his eyelids but did not speak.

"Cexian, Achi is here to see you." Zhou Ran said, only then noticing that behind Xu Chaomu was a little one following.

She was quite surprised as Xu Chaomu had always refused to let her meet Xiaobao, and she had heard that Shen Chi was quite fond of the child.

"Hmm." Shen Cexian grunted.

"I bought some health supplements and fruits. I will have my assistant send them over in a bit." Shen Chi said, "How do you feel now?"

"The doctor says it’s not fatal." Shen Cexian responded indifferently.

Zhou Ran pushed him with her hand, signaling him to speak properly and not to argue with Shen Chi.

"I haven’t visited you for a long time. It’s my fault." Shen Chi apologized slightly.

Shen Cexian did not speak again, Zhou Ran sat down and said, "It’s alright, we are all family. Your father has had this chronic condition for a while. I’m here to take care of him. You go about your business."

Shen Chi nodded, "I will visit more often in the future."

"There’s no need." Shen Cexian spoke coldly, "You’ve already taken the authorization for the group, and all board members are your people now, there’s no need to please me anymore."

Zhou Ran gave Shen Cexian a look, signaling him to stop. She knew Shen Chi came with good intentions, and she never wished for their father-son relationship to become too strained.

Shen Chi spoke lightly, "You are still angry with me."

Shen Cexian ignored Zhou Ran’s look; he was truly still angry with Shen Chi.

Once it had been inside the summer villa, where they faced each other with guns, another time in the hospital, where Shen Chi forced him to hand over the authorization letter.

Just these two incidents made Shen Cexian wish he could wrestle the company back from Shen Chi’s hands, yet his only regret was his failing health.

"Father, I apologize for things I’ve done in the past. Please, be magnanimous and do not hold grudges against me," Shen Chi said.

Zhou Ran gave Shen Cexian another look, Shen Chi, whom she had seen grow up, how could she not understand his nature? For Shen Chi to lower his head and apologize was already a big concession. If Shen Cexian did not take this opportunity to ease the situation, the father and son might never reconcile.

Shen Cexian also watched Shen Chi grow up, he understood too.

He snorted coldly, this time without speaking.

The atmosphere was somewhat chilly. Xu Chaomu sat tensely without speaking, truly unsure how to face Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian.

They disliked her and, likewise, she felt no fondness for them either.

At moments like this, it was particularly awkward.

Zhou Ran then spoke, "Is that Xiaobao? He’s quite cute. Why has he been hiding?"

Xu Chaomu gripped Xiaobao’s hand tightly, without speaking. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Shen Chi faintly smiled, "This is Xiaobao. He’s just scared of hospitals."

"Really?" Zhou Ran observed Xiaobao’s eyes and eyebrows, noting a resemblance to Shen Chi, "May I hold him?"

Xu Chaomu remained silent. Shen Chi, smiling, pulled Xiaobao from behind Xu Chaomu, "Of course."

Almost instinctively, Xu Chaomu held onto Xiaobao’s hand, preventing him from going over.

Zhou Ran, finding it awkward, walked over by herself.

Realizing her overreaction, Xu Chaomu then let go.

"Xiaobao, how old are you? What’s your full name?" Zhou Ran squatted down and asked.

The moment Zhou Ran came close, Xu Chaomu’s body involuntarily trembled. She was all too familiar with the scent of Zhou Ran, her eyes welling up with tears.
