If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 505 - 455: The Pregnant Woman is Too Sensitive

Chapter 505: Chapter 455: The Pregnant Woman is Too Sensitive

“Shen Chi, you shameless jerk!” Her drowsiness completely vanished, and she huffed coldly.

“What did I do?” Shen Chi’s tone was filled with innocence.

“You, you, just you wait!” Xu Chaomu was so angry she couldn’t even speak.

With Shen Chi’s attitude like this, did she expect her baby to not call him “Fourth Uncle,” but to call him “Dad” instead?

“Haven’t I always been here?”

“I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” Xu Chaomu was fuming.

She had been tricked into calling him “husband” for no reason at all, and she was very resistant to the idea.

“Then I’m hanging up.” Shen Chi spoke with a teasing tone.

“If anyone’s hanging up, it’s me!”

After saying that, Xu Chaomu pressed the “end call” button with a “snap!”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chaomu still felt like she had the short end of the stick.

She had called him “husband,” but hadn’t heard a single “I love you” in return.

When dealing with Shen Chi, she rarely ever came out on top. Truly, there’s no business without deceit.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Chi chuckled. He found deceiving Xu Chaomu to be quite enjoyable.

Still so easy to fool, he wondered what she had been up to in those five years.

But, he liked Xu Chaomu exactly because she was easy to fool. If she were smart and strong-willed, what use would he be to her?

He was there to take on the weight of the world.

All she needed to do was to be responsible for being happy, and that was enough.

…

Two days passed quickly. Just past midnight, Xiao Mo had already taken his men to the wharf.

On a summer night, the waves at C City’s seaport were turbulent, and the lights twinkled.

Li Beiting’s men had already infiltrated the wharf, surveilling the situation at any given moment.

The waves pounded against the shore with a deafening “whoosh”, stirring up excitement as well as trepidation in people’s hearts.

The wharf was bustling during the day with many ships passing by, but at night, it was quiet except for a few ships moored at the harbor.

With no one walking along the shore, anyone emerging would be clearly visible.

Xiao Mo and his men hid in a square tower not far from the wharf.

The tower wasn’t high, only five or six stories, but standing on top one could have a commanding view of the wharf.

Any sign of movement, and he would immediately contact Li Beiting’s men.

Inside the tower, he used Jian Sisi’s phone to send a message to Zhuo Fan.

“Where are you?”

He quickly received a reply from Zhuo Fan: I’ll be at the wharf soon, this time we’ll make a killing.

“My stomach hurts a bit, been hurting all night.” Xiao Mo continued to send a message.

“Hurry to the hospital to have it checked, you and the child must not have any issues,” Zhuo Fan replied.

Xiao Mo’s lips curled into a smile. Zhuo Fan really cared about Jian Sisi.

The two were clearly lovers, their relationship seemed quite strong.

He wanted Zhuo Fan to be flustered, the more chaotic the better.

“Alright, I’ll go to the hospital now.” Xiao Mo sent another message.

“Hurry, don’t make me worry,” Zhuo Fan replied.

Xiao Mo put away his phone and didn’t reply to Zhuo Fan anymore.

Zhuo Fan had no clue that Jian Sisi’s child was already gone.

Xiao Mo stood atop the tower, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, while scanning the sea with his binoculars.

In the distance, it was pitch black, as if the dark waters hid endless mysteries.

Wave after wave came crashing in, stirring up heaps of foam like snow!

The sand on the beach shone with a faint glow, and as Xiao Mo listened to the roar of the waves, it was hard for him to remain calm.

The noisy wharf by day was now eerily silent at night, without a single human voice.

Xiao Mo strolled around the tower, feeling a bit nervous but not in a hurry.

The ships hadn’t arrived yet and neither had Zhuo Fan.

At this moment, it was half-past midnight.

Back at the Shen family residence, Xu Chaomu had walked Dabai along the roads outside Tianxiu Tianxia after dinner.

She led Dabai, feeling her eyelids twitching incessantly.

She didn’t know why they were twitching, but she had a very unsettling feeling in her heart.

Usually, when she took Dabai for a walk, he would be very happy, but today he seemed listless.

Walking slowly, Dabai caused no fuss either.

Along the roadside in summer, all kinds of trees flourished with thick foliage.

Leaves had fallen on the ground, yet to be swept away. Xu Chaomu stepped on them, creating a “rustling” sound.

She intentionally stepped on the fallen leaves as she walked, with Dabai following behind her.

On the quiet road, some sounds finally broke the silence, and Xu Chaomu was having a blast.

The unease in her heart eased a bit, but her eyelids still twitched nonstop.

She felt she was overthinking it, considering people always say pregnant women are overly sensitive.

“Dabai, bark once, will you? It’s too quiet,” Xu Chaomu turned and said to Dabai.

Dabai drooped his ears, looking rather unhappy.

Upon hearing Xu Chaomu’s words, he seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to.

“Dabai, woof-woof, bark!” Xu Chaomu tried to tease him.

She squatted in front of him, purposely picking up a leaf from the ground to scratch Dabai’s head.

Tickled by the scratch, Dabai finally barked a few times in protest, “Woof-woof-woof.”

On the peaceful road, there was finally a different kind of sound.

Xu Chaomu teased him a few more times, “Dabai, bark a few more times.”

Dabai, looking quite displeased, sniffed and gave Xu Chaomu a disdainful glance.

“Come on, bark. Otherwise, it’s so boring,” Xu Chaomu said, using the leaf to tickle him.

With no choice, Dabai reluctantly complied with a displeased “Woof.”

Xu Chaomu squatted beside him, gently touching his fur with her small hand.

“Dabai, last time I said I would bring Wealth over to play with you, but I haven’t yet,” Xu Chaomu pursed her lips, “Actually, I miss Wealth too. He’s a little dog that never grows up, no matter how much you feed him.”

Dabai shook his ears and squinted his eyes.

Under the street lights, the scene was especially harmonious.

Xu Chaomu, dressed in a pale pink dress, looked fresh and elegant, her black hair cascading over her shoulders. Her eyes were prettier than the stars in the sky, seemingly speaking with each blink.

She squatted on the ground, her dress spread around her like a blooming pink rose.

The green leaves on the ground served as a perfect embellishment to her dress.

The street light cast a gentle light, like a crystal clear spring, shining on Xu Chaomu and highlighting her pristine beauty.

She pinned her trailing hair behind her ear, teasing Dabai with a green leaf.

“Dabai, why do you also look upset? Shall I find you a girlfriend someday?”

Dabai glanced at her, which Xu Chaomu took as a look of reproach.

“Look, even your master has a wife now, although she was forced into it, he’s no longer single after all. You should also hurry up and find a girl,” Xu Chaomu said, smoothing his fur gently.

Dabai couldn’t be bothered to respond, maintaining a haughty demeanor.

“Hmm, you’re ignoring me again, aren’t you? Don’t you like me anymore?” Xu Chaomu slapped his head lightly.

Dabai snorted, still too lazy to move.
