If You Could Hear My Heart

These two people have one thing in common: they are both very smart.

Xiao Mo tapped his slender fingers on the office desk, his face calm and his eyes containing unfathomable depths, as if he were pondering something.

"Daddy, come downstairs for breakfast." Xiaobao said, "I, did, cut, bread for you."

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was already October.

Shen Chi frowned: "What's so good about that place."

"..." Xu Chaomu was speechless.

"Old Shen, I don't love you anymore. When my sister is born, I'm going to take her and run away from home."

Aside from Xu Chaomu, only this little creature dared to threaten him.

"Manman? That's nice, full of happiness." Xu Chaomu smiled.

There were twenty days left until Xu Chaomu's due date, and she was becoming increasingly tired, always feeling as if she could never get enough sleep.

Suddenly, the living room resounded with "ping pong" noises.

"Have you thought of a nickname for our baby?" Xu Chaomu asked.

Xu Chaomu heard this and laughed: "Just go with him, he's been talking about it for a while, saying he wants to see the giraffes and the little squirrels."

With her by his side, the days were certainly filled with happiness.

The butler was momentarily speechless; it seemed like he indeed had little status.

"Yeah, making progress quite fast, even daring to threaten his old dad," Shen Chi raised his eyebrow, said indifferently.

"Take their sons to the zoo, take their sons to the zoo, take their sons to the zoo."

Under the care of the butler, Xu Chaomu was pampered and tender, with a round belly.

"What do you mean by nice?"

"Well, daddy needs to accompany the baby in mommy's belly!" Shen Chi yelled, this little fellow is really annoying!

"Husband... it's so hard carrying a baby..."

"What do you want now?" Shen Chi asked bluntly, he had figured out Xiaobao's routine—buttering him up early in the morning surely meant no good.

Shen Chi simply delegated all his work to Xiao Mo and spent the entire day with Xu Chaomu.

"Not really." Shen Chi said.

"That's not true, it's mom."

"One..." Xiaobao started counting seriously.

Hearing Shen Chi say this, Xiaobao's eyes shifted, and he jumped off the sofa and silently walked towards the living room door.

"I have no status at home!" Xiaobao claimed righteously.

"Forget it."

"..."

"Nickname? How about Manman?"

"That's not true, if I hadn't recognized them, they definitely would have wanted to give me away a long time ago," Xiaobao muttered.

That morning, Xu Chaomu couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned, but she didn't want to get up and just clung to Shen Chi's arm.

"Just take him, he has been quite well-behaved these past few days, his teacher even praised him for making quick progress," Xu Chaomu softened her tone.

"Are they more expensive than me?" Xiaobao looked up and asked the butler.

"Mmh..." Xu Chaomu nodded, snuggling in Shen Chi's embrace.

"Let the butler take you, daddy needs to accompany mommy."

"When my sister is born, I will be even more pitiful than Wealth, woo woo..." Xiaobao suddenly rubbed his eyes, it's a pity no tears came out.

"Ah, children like that place. Didn't you like it as a kid? I loved it when I was young, it's just that I never went." Xu Chaomu sounded a bit regretful.

Still not relieved, he threw all the cups and teapots on the table as well.

Shen Chi wasn't used to sleeping in, so he would just grab his phone to browse some news or handle some matters after waking up.

Xu Chaomu was laughing on the side. Xiaobao really wasn't afraid of Shen Chi. But, Shen Chi had plenty of ways to deal with people; she herself was raised through his schemes.

At this moment, a bland voice came from upstairs. Shen Chi came down the stairs in his shirt.

Besides, Shen Chi had been busy accompanying his wife these days, and probably wouldn't have time to listen to updates about these unresolved matters.

Xiaobao circled around the phone cord, at a loss. Why was Dad so fierce?

When Xiaobao was expected, they had too many regrets, and this time, Shen Chi didn't want to leave any regrets with her or himself.

Shen Chi was having none of it. He said bluntly, "No need to count to three, your dad indeed does not love you, go ahead and run away!"

"Hate you!" Xiaobao yelled into the phone, "You all don't love me! Don't love me! I don't love you either!"

Xiaobao sat huffily on the sofa after hanging up the phone, throwing the toy in his hand onto the floor.

Shen Chi's face darkened with lines. Was this little guy really threatening him?!

"Just twenty more days until he's born, hang in there a bit longer with this naughty one."

...

Shen Chi gently rubbed her back: "It's all my fault. How about after this baby is born, we don't have anymore, alright?"

Xiaobao turned his head, glanced at Shen Chi, snorted coldly, and arrogantly turned his head away.

"Say it, what do you want?"

Xu Chaomu rubbed against Shen Chi in his embrace, always with a smile on her face.

"..." Xiaobao scratched his head, why wasn't he playing by the rules?

Soon, Shen Chi's phone rang, and he glanced at it before answering.

Every morning, Xu Chaomu refused to get out of bed. Knowing Shen Chi wasn't going to work, she would stubbornly cling to him, not letting him get up.

"Weren't you going to run away from home?"

"Husband, the baby is kicking me..." Xu Chaomu caressed her belly, a bead of sweat on her nose.

"Remember not to come back," Shen Chi added another line.

The butler's mouth twitched, the Young Master really had a way with words, he knew how to do everything, amusing yet frustrating at the same time.

"Try it," Shen Chi's tone carried a warning.

"No, that's not true, Master Shen loves you a lot, and so does the mistress," the butler had to comfort him like this.

"Young Master, you can't throw anymore," the butler hurriedly stopped Xiaobao, "these things are quite expensive."

"No, no!" Xiaobao shouted into the phone, "Daddy I want to go to the zoo."

It was Xiaobao downstairs calling Shen Chi, his voice crisp as he shouted: "Dad!"

"Dad!" Xiaobao shouted again on the phone, "I'll count to three, if you don't answer me, it means you don't love me, and if you don't love me, I'm going to run away from home. Uncle Wang next door likes me a lot, he said he would take me in."

"Old Shen, you're not a good dad," Xiaobao said. "Other dads are so nice to their sons."

"Er..." The butler scratched his head, "Of course not, young master, you are Master Shen's treasure."

"Not saying? If not, I'm hanging up, daddy won't come down."

Shen Chi helplessly tossed the phone aside.

"..."

"..." Xu Chaomu held her forehead.

"Yeah, full of happiness." Shen Chi also curved his lips into a smile.

"Not talking to you anymore, I hate you." Xiaobao hung up the phone with a "bang".

Miao Xiu hadn't planned to tell Shen Chi about their conversation yet; he decided to wait until there was some progress before informing Shen Chi.

"Mommy doesn't need your company, mommy is not a three-year-old kid." Xiaobao muttered.

Indeed, Shen Chi has always been different from ordinary people, otherwise he wouldn't be called Shen Chi.

"Er... You and the mistress both are," the butler could only say this.

"Young Master, where are you going? You can't just run around," the butler panicked and quickly followed him.
