If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1255: Are You Afraid I’ll Devour You?

Her soft hair hung down on each side of her body, giving her an obedient appearance.

Shen Chi almost couldn’t resist the impulse and cursed in his heart, "Little Fairy."

He had utterly fallen for this Little Fairy in his life, with no hope of turning things around.

Xu Chaomu was still sitting with her knees hugged, she glanced at Shen Chi and then lowered her eyelids, asking in a low voice, "Are you not angry anymore?"

"Angry about what?" Shen Chi asked deliberately.

"It’s just..." Xu Chaomu was too embarrassed to say, and fell silent.

Shen Chi reached out his hand, "Get up."

Xu Chaomu placed her hand in his palm, and with a pull, he lifted her off the bed.

Xu Chaomu didn’t stand steady, and just happened to fall into his arms. Shen Chi took the opportunity to carry her out of the bedroom.

Lunch was ready, and it was quite sumptuous. Shen Chi set her down in a chair and served her plenty of her favorite dishes.

"Shen Chi... I..." Xu Chaomu really didn’t know what to say.

"Eat and talk less," Shen Chi said indifferently.

"Oh."

However, as they ate, Shen Chi regretted it.

He told her to talk less, and as a result, she really stopped talking, making the meal taste dull. Moreover, he noticed Xu Chaomu didn’t dare look up at him.

For the first time, he saw her so demure and shy.

As a child, she had been quite outgoing. The older she grew, the more she seemed to regress.

"Don’t just eat rice," Shen Chi put some of her favorite vegetables into her bowl.

"Oh," Xu Chaomu lowered her head and continued eating.

"Are you afraid of me?" Shen Chi glanced at her nonchalantly.

Xu Chaomu still didn’t look up, gazing at the rice in her bowl, "No, why should I be afraid of you? I’m just eating."

Shen Chi couldn’t help but laugh. Xu Chaomu was quite adorably foolish in this way.

After eating for a while, Xu Chaomu said, "I should go back to Jin City for work. I’ll leave tomorrow, and you should go to the company as well."

"I’ve asked for several days off for you. What work do you need to do?" Shen Chi frowned. "Are you afraid I’ll eat you up?"

"Actually... there are many things... I just want to have some quiet time," Xu Chaomu said, looking down as she ate her rice.

"Don’t have quiet time. The more you want to be alone and silent, the more likely you are to walk into a dead end," Shen Chi said. "Tell me whatever’s on your mind. I promise I won’t get angry."

He felt it too. Sometimes when he was incredibly frustrated, he wanted to be alone. However, the more he thought like that, the more agitated his mind became. It was better to talk to someone.

"Were you really not angry this morning?" Xu Chaomu asked tentatively.

"Do I look like someone who gets angry easily?"

Xu Chaomu pouted and muttered under her breath, "You do."

"You!" Shen Chi couldn’t contain his irritation.

Xu Chaomu remembered that this man really did tend to get angry easily. If she didn’t ask, who knows, he might "retaliate" against her.

"Don’t go back to Jin City these few days. Think about the Bai Family issue. It’s rare for me to have so much time to spend with you," Shen Chi said.

Xu Chaomu nodded, offering no objections.

...

During those days, Shen Chi accompanied her almost every day, occasionally taking time to visit the company.

Xiao Mo was incredibly busy, almost taking over all of Shen Chi’s responsibilities. In addition, he had been keeping an eye on Shen Shihan, hardly having a moment for meals each day.

He hadn’t even had the chance to meet Xu Chaomu and Xiaobao, and hadn’t found the time to give them presents.

When Shen Chi took Xiaobao to the amusement park, Xiao Mo still made a phone call to him.

"Mr. Shen, Faye Jewelry Group has invested in Deputy General Manager Shen’s company," Xiao Mo said.

"As expected."

"The alliance between the two companies will definitely deal a significant blow to Shen’s," Xiao Mo said. "Moreover, Deputy General Manager Shen has accumulated a lot of funds recently and has secured several billion in financing."

"Mommy, that..." Xiaobao in her arms pointed to the distant Ferris wheel.

Seeing that Shen Chi was about to make a call, Xu Chaomu took Xiaobao from his arms: "Do you want to ride that?"

Xiaobao bit his finger and nodded his head.

Over the phone, Xiao Mo heard Xiaobao’s voice, his lips curving up slightly.

Shen Chi walked to the side to talk on the phone with Xiao Mo; the two discussed the company’s affairs for a while.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t understand, so she took Xiaobao to ride the carousel nearby first.

She remembered coming here when she was pregnant, and she hadn’t expected to come here again. The feeling of being together as a family was irreplaceable.

She held Xiaobao on the carousel, and Xiaobao was very happy, which made her happy too.

Squinting into the distance, Shen Chi, who was on the phone, stood out in the crowd. He had a tall stature, a powerful presence, and most importantly, he was incredibly handsome.

The carousel had not yet stopped, but Shen Chi had already finished his call.

He was standing under a tree, hands in his coat pockets, silently watching the mother and son.

The smile at the corner of his lips was deep. He had always trusted his own choices, and indeed, his choice was right - Xu Chaomu was worth loving for a lifetime.

When they got off the carousel, Xu Chaomu walked over to Shen Chi with Xiaobao in her arms.

"It’s a bit windy today," Xu Chaomu tightened her scarf.

"Cold? If you’re cold, we can go play indoors," Shen Chi wrapped his arm around her waist.

"I’m fine, but I’m worried about Xiaobao being cold."

"Tough little guy, what’s there to be cold about?" Shen Chi pinched Xiaobao’s face.

Xu Chaomu was unhappy. Who talks about her baby like that? She glared at Shen Chi: "Where is my baby tough and thick-skinned? He’s clearly so soft and tender, he can’t withstand the harsh wind and rain."

Xiaobao also felt like someone was speaking ill of him and pouted unhappily.

"Let’s take him to ride the Ferris wheel; he’s been looking at it eagerly," Xu Chaomu said.

"Alright, let’s go," Shen Chi took Xiaobao from Xu Chaomu’s arms.

Once they were on the Ferris wheel, Xu Chaomu snuggled up to Shen Chi, looking at the scenery below.

Xiaobao was crawling around without fear.

"Was that Xiao Mo on the phone just now?" Xu Chaomu asked. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Yes."

"Is there something going on with the company? If there’s an issue, you should handle it. I can stay here with Xiaobao," she said.

"It’s nothing serious. Xiao Mo can handle it," Shen Chi said.

"Don’t let me delay the company’s business."

"You won’t," Shen Chi embraced her. "However, you shouldn’t associate with Shen Shihan and Nie Chenglang anymore."

"Huh?" Xu Chaomu was puzzled.

"You don’t understand business matters, but they are business partners," Shen Chi explained. "Will you listen to me?"

"Chenglang wouldn’t do anything to hurt me," Xu Chaomu defended.

Nie Chenglang had always been kind to her, both when they first met and during the five years in Paris. Without Nie Chenglang, there would be no her.

"People change. Besides, he can’t escape his background," Shen Chi said.

"I don’t believe he will change," Xu Chaomu shook her head. "Many times, he has no choice, but he would never do anything to wrong me."

Shen Chi felt helpless; there were some things he simply couldn’t say too much about.
