If You Could Hear My Heart

As she was documenting today's events, Shen Chi came upstairs.

He didn't expect Xu Chaomu to be so engrossed; he had even placed the noodles on the table, and she was still writing diligently.

He could only lean in close and lower his head to ask, "What are you writing?"

"You can't see it!" Xu Chaomu covered her diary quickly and snorted coldly.

Shen Chi laughed: "Do you still have secrets that I don't know about? You're not bad-mouthing me, are you? I remember some people like to do that sort of thing."

"Can't you forget about childhood stuff?"

"Can't."

Xu Chaomu was about to close the diary, but Shen Chi snatched it from her hands.

Xu Chaomu laughed and wrestled with him for it: "You scoundrel, give it back, you're not allowed to look."

"In light of the noodles I made for you, let me take a peek." Shen Chi held the book up high.

He knew Xu Chaomu wrote in her diary secretly, but since it was password-protected, he wasn't interested in reading it and hadn't paid much attention to it.

Today was just a whim...

"Give it back to me, you big bully!" Xu Chaomu playfully pounced on him.

Shen Chi, afraid she'd fall, didn't dare to move and let her tackle him to the ground, snatching the book back.

However, he still caught a glimpse of what she had just written. With his good memory, he recited, "Someone behaved very well tonight, going to make noodles for me, it feels so happy."

Shen Chi purposely glanced at Xu Chaomu, whose face had turned red, "Who is this 'someone'?"

Xu Chaomu closed her notebook with a cold snort: "Asking when you already know."

Shen Chi stroked her hair: "Feeling happy?"

"I'm not talking to you anymore, sneaking peeks at someone's diary, I don't want to bother with you." Xu Chaomu said.

"Don't I often show you my texts?"

"That's different!"

"How is it different?"

"Different means different!" Xu Chaomu said.

Shen Chi laughed even harder, and just as Xu Chaomu was about to get up, he pulled her arm, flipped over, and pinned her beneath him.

When they were fighting over the diary earlier, her little body was rubbing against him non-stop, and now Shen Chi was parched and burning with desire.

"Shen Chi, the noodles will get cold." Xu Chaomu reminded him.

"I'm hungry too, feed me first." Shen Chi looked at her meaningfully.

Xu Chaomu knew there was an underlying message in his words, but she still pushed him hard: "Noodles won't taste good if they get cold."

"It doesn't matter, I can make them for you again." Shen Chi's voice was husky, his eyes filled with longing.

"Wasn't it you who insisted on having a baby, and now you know it's tough?" Xu Chaomu glared at him, "You are suffering, and so am I. It hasn't been long since Xiaobao was born, and now we have to have Erbao."

One Xiaobao, and her head is already spinning; that little fellow is particularly vengeful, just like Shen Chi.

"..." Shen Chi had no retort, feeling that Xu Chaomu's scolding was deserved.

"Shen Chi, just bear with it a bit longer, at most half a year." Xu Chaomu unfeelingly pushed him away.

"..." The corners of Shen Chi's mouth twitched, "At most?"

"Otherwise what? I don't mind if you go out and find a lover."

"You really don't mind? Why do I feel like you would turn the house upside down?" Shen Chi smirked.

"The house won't be flipped; after all, it's in my name, I wouldn't flip my own house. But I can't guarantee your life." Xu Chaomu threatened him.

"Enough talk, get up and eat your noodles." Shen Chi pulled her up.

Seeing her with her big belly, he knew how hard pregnancy was, so he decided not to trouble her anymore.

Xu Chaomu, smelling the fragrance of the noodles, suddenly felt her mood lift again.

"Why aren't you eating?" Xu Chaomu asked.

"I only want to eat you."

"Hold it in."

"..."

Xu Chaomu was doing it on purpose. After finishing her noodles and feeling full, she made Shen Chi squeeze her some juice. She's been eating more and more lately, and her belly is getting bigger.

Fortunately, Shen Chi hasn't had any overtime work during this period, otherwise, she would have no one to boss around.

After eating and drinking her fill, she deliberately had Shen Chi carry her to the bathroom.

"Wash yourself, I'll step out." Shen Chi ran the bathwater for her.

"No, I'm too weak." Xu Chaomu purposely pouted, "You help me undress."

"I can't." Shen Chi said, clearly annoyed.

She had already tormented him once on the bed just earlier, and if she tormented him again in the bathroom now, he thought, he really might develop a problem.

"How come you never say you can't on the bed?" Xu Chaomu deliberately rubbed against his chest, "I want to take a bath!"

Shen Chi glowered with a darkened face, but reluctantly helped her take off her skirt.

The moment his fingers touched her snow-white skin, he was already ablaze with heat. His blood was racing and boiling, and a certain part of him had long since reacted.

Pregnant women are exceptionally sexy, especially the current Xu Chaomu, who had the extra flavor of a delicate woman.

"Is that okay?" Shen Chi asked with a hoarse voice.

He turned his head away, not looking at her, because he was genuinely afraid he could not hold himself back. He had self-control, but not when it came to her.

"No, I can't walk, you have to carry me into the tub."

"Xu Chaomu!" Shen Chi roared at her, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at her.

Xu Chaomu made a silly face and then said with a wronged tone: "Do you despise me for being too heavy, or do you find me too troublesome, or do you hate me now..."

"You're ruthless." Shen Chi, his face lined with frustration, princess-carried her into the tub filled with hot water.

Xu Chaomu happily wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the face.

Xu Chaomu knew very well that someone right now had the impulse to throttle her.

"Do you want to join me in the bath? The tub is really big." Xu Chaomu asked, tilting her head on purpose.

"No!" Shen Chi was almost losing control of himself, "I'll step out, just call if you need anything."

"Alrighty, if it gets too much, just handle it yourself." Xu Chaomu took delight in his misfortune.

Shen Chi gave her a cold glance, his gaze inevitably lingering on her snow-white skin, but just a brief glance set the blood boiling within him uncontrollably.

With a swelling discomfort in his lower abdomen, he hurriedly left the bathroom.

That person silently vowed that once this baby was born, he'd "take care" of her thoroughly.

And he also swore that after this baby, he wouldn't let her get pregnant again for a good number of years.

It was he who suffered when she was pregnant!

That person ran off to the guest bathroom and took a cold shower.

As for Xu Chaomu, she was in a good mood. While bathing, she touched her belly and softly said, "Baby, even though your dad looks a bit beastly, he is really good to your mom, so don't despise him."

Xu Chaomu's lips curled upwards, singing while bathing, her face full of happiness.

After Shen Chi finished showering, he checked on Xu Chaomu in the bathroom. Ever since the pregnancy advanced, he's always been worried she might fall asleep while bathing.

And sure enough, she had fallen asleep again.

Recently, Xu Chaomu has been greedy for food and sleep, just like a little pig.

"Wake up, wash up quickly, then you can go to sleep." Shen Chi patted her face.

Xu Chaomu smacked her lips: "I fell asleep again..."
