If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 721: Chapter 721: She carries Shen Chi’s flesh and blood in her belly

The quiet here was frightening; not a single sound could be heard.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t even hear the breathing of others, she was very afraid, wanting to see something clearly, but all she saw was darkness.

“It’s done,” one of the men said in a deep voice.

“Good,” a woman’s voice responded.

“What are you doing?” Xu Chaomu struggled and shouted loudly.

But no one heard her voice; it was as if she was the only one present.

Just then, she felt a chill on her sleeve, and in an instant, a sharp pain.

A syringe-like object pierced her arm, and she could feel it all too well!

A few seconds later, the woman spoke again: “Done.”

A cotton swab with alcohol pressed against her wound, and she felt a bit of pain.

Blood test? Was that a blood test just now? What are they testing for?

Xu Chaomu couldn’t think of anything, so she gritted her teeth.

It was then that she heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling; this sound was particularly loud in the empty room.

She held her breath and stopped shouting for help; instead, she listened to everything around her.

“Director Shen,” the man holding her called out respectfully.

Xu Chaomu’s heart lifted; it was Shen Cexian! It really was him! What was he doing?

“Mhm,” Shen Cexian replied in a low voice.

“Director Shen, the blood has been drawn,” the woman said.

“Take off her hood,” Shen Cexian instructed in a low voice.

His voice was deep and hoarse, sounding a bit chilling in this place, making one’s skin crawl.

“Yes.”

Hearing Shen Cexian’s order, the man holding Xu Chaomu let go of her and removed her hood.

Xu Chaomu, just relieved of her black hood, was not quite used to the light yet, though thankfully it was dim in here; after a while, her eyes began to adjust.

Looking around, besides the two men who had brought her here, there was a female doctor wearing a mask and a white coat.

Next to the female doctor was Shen Cexian, sitting in a wheelchair with a cold and arrogant expression.

His hands lay flat on the wheelchair, his whole presence resembling a silent and composed Buddha.

Xu Chaomu hadn’t seen him in a long time; she noticed there seemed to be more white hair on Shen Cexian’s head.

The cold and harsh features of Shen Cexian bore a resemblance to Shen Chi.

She didn’t speak, just looked at Shen Cexian.

Shen Cexian, however, did not look at her but rolled up one of his sleeves and gave the female doctor a nonchalant glance: “Draw blood.”

In that moment, Xu Chaomu’s world collapsed.

She wasn’t stupid.

A few days ago, she had received a text message asking if she wanted to know who her father was.

Today, she was suddenly brought in for a blood draw, a DNA test.

And, it was both her and Shen Cexian’s blood that had been drawn.

No, it couldn’t be, it just couldn’t be.

In that instant, Xu Chaomu felt as if she were on the passenger ship five years ago, when Bai Man revealed a certain secret.

The same sense of collapse; five years later, it was back!

Impossible, it just couldn’t be!

She kept shaking her head, smelling the antiseptic scent, she wanted to run away, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move.

She was completely stunned; for a moment, her mind went blank.

Though there was no noise in the blood-drawing room, her ears buzzed continuously, like millions of bees constantly flying around.

She clutched her head, feeling like it was about to explode.

This feeling was exactly the same as five years ago!

“All done, Mr. Shen,” the female doctor told Shen Cexian.

The blood had been drawn, she professionally deposited the blood into a container and tossed the syringe into a medical waste bin.

Xu Chaomu, holding her head, watched the doctor’s every move.

She saw two tubes of plasma placed together, marked by the doctor with a pen.

The bright red color diffused into her eyes, expanding bit by bit, growing larger and larger until it filled her vision, just like the blood she saw on the passenger ship five years ago…

She clutched her head in agony; it couldn’t be true…

There was no way she was related by blood to Shen Cexian…

“Hmm,” Shen Cexian responded faintly, giving Xu Chaomu a glance.

Slowly, he pushed his wheelchair, preparing to leave the blood-drawing room.

The place was eerily quiet, its cold equipment also filled Xu Chaomu with dread.

Shen Cexian’s face was expressionless, his eagle-like eyes sharp and profound, emitting a sinister light.

Just as he was about to leave in his wheelchair, Xu Chaomu took a large step forward and reached out to stop him.

“Uncle Shen,” she still called him respectfully, “why did you bring me here for a blood test?”

Shen Cexian, with his sharply sculpted features, looked coldly on, not wanting to speak.

“Why did you bring me here for a blood test?!” Xu Chaomu raised her voice, demanding an answer!

A tall man immediately rushed over, intending to drag Xu Chaomu away!

“Don’t touch me!” Xu Chaomu pushed him away, “Tell me, why did you bring me here for a blood test?!”

Only then did Shen Cexian raise his cold eyes to give Xu Chaomu a look.

After a moment, he scoffed coldly and said, “Don’t you want to know who your father is?”

With those words, the room fell silent all at once!

At that, Xu Chaomu’s mind exploded again; it was as if she could hear her heart shattering piece by piece!

Her legs were trembling; it had never occurred to her that Shen Cexian could be her father!

It wasn’t just unlikely; it was unacceptable!

Shen Chi was Shen Cexian’s biological son—if she had any blood relation to Shen Cexian…

“No… it can’t be… it can’t be… it absolutely can’t be!” Xu Chaomu screamed hysterically at him.

She was as pale as a ghost, her complexion as white as paper, devoid of any color.

Under the dim light, she looked at Shen Cexian; in her eyes, at this moment, Shen Cexian seemed like a monster.

“But it’s not up to you to decide!” Shen Cexian said with a cold voice.

Xu Chaomu felt as if ants were crawling in her chest, scratching painfully!

How could she be Shen Cexian’s daughter, how could she…

She and Shen Chi had the most intimate husband-wife relationship, she even carried Shen Chi’s child in her womb!

How could she be Shen Cexian’s daughter, how could she be related to Shen Cexian in any way!

“Shen Cexian, why are you deceiving me like this? Sneakily grabbing me in the night for a blood test?”

In desperation, Xu Chaomu called out Shen Cexian’s name directly! She was truly on the verge of collapsing.

If there were a mirror in front of her, then the reflection of her would certainly be terrifying.

“Presumptuous!” Shen Cexian bellowed in anger, that unruly girl, daring to call him by his name!@@novelbin@@

Even within the corporation, there weren’t many who dared to call his name so casually!

In C City, how many people dared not to treat him, Shen Cexian, with respect?!
