If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1383: It’s All Because You Spoiled Me Silly
Chapter 1383: Chapter 1383: It’s All Because You Spoiled Me Silly
At night, the quietest time, the city where Wen Zhiyuan was living began to rain. He didn’t know if it was raining back home, or what Shen Di was doing.
After much thought, he still sent her a text message: Happy new marriage.
The number had been given to him by Shen Chi, and he had kept it all along, just never thought that years later, the message he sent her would be this.
After a tiring day, Shen Di changed out of her dress and took a bath. Sitting at the edge of the bed, she silently blow-dried her hair until it was half-dry when her phone announced a new message.
She received many blessings today, and seeing it was from an unfamiliar number, she didn’t pay much attention.
But for some reason, upon seeing it, she felt a twinge in her heart.
This number had never contacted her before, but it was registered in C City.
Her friends in C City are few, and she suddenly guessed who it might be...
Her gaze lingered on those four words, and as she looked, her eyes became slightly dazed and blurred...
Her hand holding the phone trembled lightly. Without waiting for her hair to dry completely, she put down the hairdryer and phone, quietly opened the window, and let the cool evening breeze brush her face.
The wind carried faint scents of grass and earth, yet when they reached her nose, they somehow had a hint of bitterness.
Shen Di just stood there as if not feeling the cold, only feeling somewhat numb.
The sky was calm, the Shen family was tranquil, but her heart was like waves crashing unrestrainedly.
...
That night, Shen Di did not reply to Wen Zhiyuan’s message, and Wen Zhiyuan did not want to wait for her reply. He was afraid that if it was a simple "Thank you," he would feel even worse.
Not long after the engagement party, Shen Di was packing up to return to Australia with Qin Chen.
Xu Chaomu couldn’t bear to let Shen Di go, holding her for a long time, unwilling to let go.
"Big sister, I don’t know when I’ll see you again," Xu Chaomu was a bit sentimental.
"Come visit Australia when you have time. We’ll also come back when we can," Shen Di said.
Xu Chaomu knew that although such things were said, traveling back and forth was not easy.
Shen Di bent down, looked at Xiaobao beside her, lifted him up, her eyes full of reluctance: "Xiaobao, your aunt has to go. Be good at home and listen to your parents, okay?"
"Auntie..." Xiaobao was also attached to his beautiful aunt; his little hands stroked Shen Di’s long hair.
During Shen Di’s stay, Xiaobao often slept with her for many nights; this auntie was so good to him.
"Alright, you can call your auntie when you have time. I’ll send you some treats," Shen Di comforted him.
"Auntie, please don’t go..." Xiaobao was reluctant.
"Your auntie will come back to see you next time."
Xiaobao clutched at Shen Di’s clothes, refusing to let go.
Shen Di, holding Xiaobao, said to Xu Chaomu: "Take care of yourself. By the time I come back next time, Erbao should have been born."
"Sister, if possible, come back often," Xu Chaomu said with a hint of sadness.
"Yeah, I’ll do my best. Take good care of yourself and the fourth brother. If he bullies you, tell me," Shen Di said with a smile.
"What if Xu Chaomu bullies me?" Shen Chi said.
"Then at least that means Chaomu isn’t being bullied," Shen Di replied.
"Big sister, who is your real sibling between me and Xu Chaomu?" Shen Chi said discontentedly.
"Of course, I love Chaomu more. No complaints allowed, no objections accepted; any objection will be overruled," Shen Di huffed.
Xu Chaomu laughed, she shook Shen Chi’s arm and said cheerfully: "Of course, big sister loves me, you already know the answer yet still ask, aren’t you just asking for a hard time?"
Shen Chi curved his lips, indulgently patting her head. novelbuddy-cσ๓
In the afternoon, Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian also came by. They insisted on taking Shen Di and Qin Chen to the airport, but Shen Di, considering Shen Cexian’s health, declined.
Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu went together to send Shen Di and the others to the airport, taking Xiaobao with them.
Shen Di really didn’t want to part with Xiaobao, holding the little guy and talking to him the whole way.
The little guy also didn’t want to part with Shen Di, repeatedly calling out "Auntie" "Auntie"...
But a farewell is inevitable. After arriving at the airport, Shen Di still waved goodbye side by side with Qin Chen.
Xu Chaomu felt a little sad; she was just as reluctant to part with Shen Di as Xiaobao was.
Only when Shen Di and Qin Chen were out of sight, no longer visible, did Xu Chaomu lean into Shen Chi’s embrace and choke up, "I feel a bit sad, I don’t want to let her go..."
"It’s okay, I’ll take you to Australia when we have some free time."
"Mhm."
"Every time Australia is mentioned, I remember the last time you ran away behind my back, what should I do?" Shen Chi lowered his head to look at her.
"What do you want to do? It won’t work no matter what." Xu Chaomu gently punched his chest.
"We’ll deal with it when we get home." Shen Chi looked at her with a meaningful glance.
"Shameless."
Shen Chi brought Xu Chaomu and Xiaobao back home. Xiaobao kept clinging to the car window calling out "Auntie", but no one responded to him.
"Xiaobao, let Mommy hold you. Auntie has gone home, next time Mommy will take you to see Auntie, okay?"
"No, I want to see her now..."
"Xiaobao is not being good. Auntie has gone home, we need to go home too."
"No, no..." Xiaobao was unhappy.
"Be obedient, Daddy will take you to eat something yummy tonight," Xu Chaomu coaxed.
Xiaobao fussed for a while longer, constantly trying to get out of Xu Chaomu’s arms, but fortunately, Shen Chi was holding him all the time.
Once they got home and stopped fussing, nearing dinner time, Shen Chi asked the kitchen to make some dishes Xiaobao loves, and Xiaobao finally behaved himself.
"Foodies are indeed easy to bribe," Xu Chaomu laughed.
"Good thing he’s not like you; otherwise, I’d have my hands full," Shen Chi smirked.
"Good thing he’s not like you; otherwise, I’d be the one getting mad," Xu Chaomu retorted.
Shen Chi laughed, "You’ve grown up, talking back now."
"Stay with me and watch TV for a bit," Xu Chaomu pulled him to sit on the couch.
"Watch it yourself. What’s so good about those soap operas and those boring variety shows?" Shen Chi was reluctant.
"Can’t you just watch with me for a bit? Dinner is about to be ready soon."
Shen Chi had no choice but to sit beside her and accompany her through the boring shows.
As they watched, Xu Chaomu leaned on Shen Chi’s shoulder, her small hand caressing her belly.
"Husband..." Xu Chaomu said softly, "Have you thought of a name for the baby?"
"Hmm..." Shen Chi lowered his head, his large hand also covering the back of her hand, "If it’s a daughter, we’ll name her Shen Ling, and if it’s a son, how about Shen Ke?"
"Whatever you say is fine," Xu Chaomu smiled at him.
"..."
Shen Chi pinched her cheek, his lips curving into a smile, "Silly girl."
"It’s all because you’ve spoiled me silly," Xu Chaomu hooked her arm around his neck, looking very happy.
Shen Chi lifted her chin, lowered his head, and placed a light kiss on her lips. Then, one hand resting on her lower abdomen, the other gently pulling her into his embrace, caressing her soft hair.
