If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1360: With a Daughter, He’s No Longer Needed

Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: With a Daughter, He’s No Longer Needed

He stood by the window for about half an hour before he finally saw her.

It had indeed been a long time, as they had only seen each other a few times since he left Australia.

She still looked the same, her complexion seemingly alright, but having taken care of her for many years, he could tell that her health hadn’t improved much.

She was standing by the car holding Xiaobao’s hand, and soon, Qin Chen also got out of the car.

They walked shoulder to shoulder into the hospital, looking perfect and harmonious, a truly well-matched pair.

After Shen Di and Qin Chen had entered the hospital a while ago, Wen Zhiyuan withdrew his gaze from the window, shook his head slightly, and sat at his desk to work.

Shen Di and Qin Chen proceeded towards the inpatient department, where there were several bodyguards in black suits at the entrance of Shen Cexian’s hospital room.

It was Zhou Ran who opened the door, and upon seeing Shen Di, she expressed surprise and then joyfully said, "Adi, when did you come back? Why didn’t you notify us in advance? Look at me, I didn’t even have time to change clothes."

Shen Di glanced at Zhou Ran and hugged her with a smile: "Mom, you look beautiful in anything. You are still so youthful and pretty."

"You always know the right thing to say," Zhou Ran laughed.

Seeing his eldest daughter energized Shen Cexian as well.

Shen Di appeared to be in good health, and Shen Cexian smiled with relief, although his emotions were rarely shown openly.

"Dad, Mom, I brought you gifts!" Shen Di said.

"Really? Let me see, is it something your mom likes?" Zhou Ran asked with a smile.

"Definitely, I guarantee you’ll like it," Shen Di took the gift bag from Qin Chen.

Zhou Ran also greeted Qin Chen: "Ah Chen has become more handsome. Adi hasn’t caused you too much trouble over the years, has she? Please be more tolerant; she’s just like a child."

"Mom! What kind of way is that to talk about your daughter? Am I not your biological child?" Shen Di playfully complained.

Qin Chen smiled: "Auntie, Adi is quite obedient. Taking care of her has been easy for me. It’s actually me who might sometimes not take care of things properly; you should be more tolerant of me."

"I’m quite reassured with Adi under your care," Zhou Ran said.

Whether it was the Wen Zhiyuan from the past or the current Qin Chen, Zhou Ran was quite reassured by them; they were both very attentive, which perfectly complemented Shen Di’s shortcomings.

Shen Di handed the gifts to Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian; she brought Zhou Ran a pricey black pearl necklace that looked particularly beautiful with Zhou Ran’s cheongsam.

"Mom, doesn’t the necklace look beautiful? Let me put it on for you," Shen Di said.

"It looks good," Zhou Ran nodded.

Shen Di personally put the necklace on Zhou Ran, laughing as she did it: "Mom, you’re looking younger and younger. Wearing the necklace I bought makes you look even younger."

"You just want to compliment your own good taste," Zhou Ran laughed.

"Xiaobao, do you think grandma looks pretty?" Shen Di asked. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Xiaobao sensibly replied: "Pretty."

"Such a good boy!" Shen Di patted his head.

Shen Di was envious of Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu for having such a well-behaved child like Xiaobao; they were truly fortunate.

During this time, Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian’s mood had also inexplicably improved a lot; sometimes taking a step back wasn’t a bad thing.

Shen Cexian was still angry about some things Shen Chi had done, but Zhou Ran always persuaded him, arguing that since Shen Chi was good to Xu Chaomu and not someone else, and they were all family now, Xu Chaomu wouldn’t betray Shen Chi in the future.

Seeing Xiaobao made all their grievances fade away.

After a while, Shen Chi arrived at the hospital room with Xu Chaomu, having finished his check-up.

Wen Zhiyuan would pass by their room sometimes during rounds, and hearing the laughter and joy inside, he would slow his steps momentarily.

Among everyone’s voices, he could always accurately pinpoint Shen Di’s voice.

But after pausing for a few dozen seconds, he would leave this place.

Shen Cexian was doing much better today. At lunchtime, Shen Di suggested that everyone go out to eat together, and all agreed.

They chose a nice restaurant nearby. Zhou Ran was pushing Shen Cexian, Shen Di and Qin Chen walked side by side, while Xu Chaomu was affectionately clinging to Shen Chi’s arm.

Xiaobao was walking slowly, with only one servant accompanying him.

Halfway there, Xiaobao got too tired to walk.

"Daddy, carry me!" Xiaobao cried out.

Shen Chi almost forgot about this son, as he had been talking with Xu Chaomu the whole way.

The servant hurriedly bent down, "Young master, I’ll carry you."

"I want Daddy to carry me."

"No." Shen Chi refused.

This was still in the street, and he, as a grown man carrying a child, would look ridiculous. What would it look like if acquaintances saw him? It would be so embarrassing.

Xu Chaomu came over and said, "Mommy will carry you."

Shen Chi immediately glared at her: "Have you forgotten you’re pregnant?"

Xu Chaomu was unable to retort and could only look helplessly at Xiaobao.

Qin Chen came over and squatted down: "How about Uncle carries you?"

Xiaobao usually only messed around with Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu. He was still very well-behaved in front of others. He nodded, "Alright..."

Qin Chen picked the little guy up, smiling at Xiaobao with a face full of happiness. Although not his own child, he also liked kids a lot.

Xiaobao looked disdainfully at Shen Chi, snorted coldly, and ignored Shen Chi from then on.

He felt that his father had changed. Back in Jin City, Shen Chi was very good to him, would buy him things, make him happy, teach him to speak...

Now?... Hmph, indeed, men are unreliable.

Xu Chaomu softly said to Shen Chi: "Xiaobao despises you."

"It’s okay, once I have a daughter, I won’t need him anymore." Shen Chi snorted coldly.

Xu Chaomu laughed: "Be careful he hears you. This little guy is quite mischievous, just as bad as you! He looks obedient outwardly, but who knows what he’s thinking in that little head, be careful he calls you ’Fourth Uncle’ again."

"That’s what you taught him."

"Alright, alright, I admit I taught him that." Xu Chaomu pursed her lips, Shen Chi still remembered that incident.

Soon, the family arrived at the restaurant, and they booked a private room, filling a table completely.

Xu Chaomu was filled with emotion, recalling since she came to the Shen Family at the age of ten, the family had never been this complete.

Actually, if only the third brother could wake up, then bringing Shui Fu and the children together, Zhou Ran would definitely accept them.

Thinking of Mo Shuifu, Xu Chaomu still felt a bit sad.

During the meal, Shen Cexian casually asked Xu Chaomu, "Have you seen Old Bai recently?"

Xu Chaomu knew he was referring to Bai Xuan; she shook her head: "Just a few times during the New Year."

"You should visit him when you have time. Old Bai did save the Shen Family back then, and he is your biological father. Now he is living alone at Bai Family, quite solitary." Shen Cexian said.

Xu Chaomu nodded: "Alright..."

Whenever Bai Xuan was mentioned, she always felt more like a criminal than a daughter.
