If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 787: Chapter 787: I, Shen Chi, will strive for what I want.

Her legs weren’t as long as his, and of course she couldn’t outwalk him, especially since she was pregnant with their baby.

Xu Chaomu was out of breath from chasing him, and just as she came to a halt in front of him, Shen Chi suddenly reached out his long arm and scooped her up into his arms.

“Hold on tight!” he warned her.

“Hm?” Xu Chaomu wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling that the change of pace was rather abrupt.

The breeze outside was cool, carrying a hint of chill. Not far away, people were setting off fireworks, clusters of them soaring into the sky, bursting into beautiful blooms.

Many colors, reflecting off each other, very beautiful.

...

Xu Chaomu hooked his neck and looked up at the fireworks.

“Chaomu, the fireworks are beautiful.” Xu Chaomu pointed at the sky, suddenly enjoying the sensation.

She had seen fireworks countless times, but it was the first time she watched them while being held in his arms.

“Not as beautiful as you,” Shen Chi said without even looking up.

“…” Xu Chaomu’s face turned red. “Chaomu, you’re so good at sweet-talking girls, is that really okay? I’m starting to doubt if you say things like this to girls all the time.”

“I only sweet-talk you.”

“…” Xu Chaomu’s face grew even redder, and she nuzzled her head into his chest, “Chaomu, when you talk like this, it makes me even more inseparable from you.”

“You mean to say you want to leave me?”

“Of course not.”

Xu Chaomu embraced him and let him carry her to the car.

The car wasn’t far from the entrance of the restaurant, Shen Chi opened the door and placed Xu Chaomu in the passenger seat, then bent down to fasten her seatbelt for her.

Xu Chaomu didn’t need to do anything with him around, it was always this reassuring.

Shen Chi drove toward the Luo Family Medical Group, having already sent a text message to his people back at the restaurant.

The location of the Luo Family’s establishment was a little remote, quiet, suitable for convalescence.

Now Xu Chaomu wasn’t sleepy at all, she just quietly watched the road ahead, cracked the car window a bit, and the evening breeze blew in.

Taking a deep breath, the air was filled with the fragrance brought by the evening wind.

As the car approached the Luo Family’s, Xu Chaomu’s eyes widened!

She was all too familiar with this place and had been here many times.

When Shen Chi was hospitalized, she came here to take care of him. Later, she was also brought here one night by Shen Cexian.

She was well-acquainted with the roads here.

“Chaomu, isn’t this the way to the Luo’s?” Xu Chaomu turned to ask him.

“Yes,” Shen Chi didn’t deny it.

“What are we doing at the hospital? And at night…” Xu Chaomu’s heart wrenched.

She was a bit scared, she didn’t like places like hospitals, especially at night.

Why would Shen Chi bring her to the hospital at night?

“You can just wait in the car later,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“Are you going up? What for? Aren’t you taking me?”

“Why so many questions!” Shen Chi glared at her. “Just sit quietly.”

“Bringing me here without telling me, what for? I might as well just go home to sleep.”

“Xu Chaomu, is sleeping the only other pursuit you have?” Shen Chi yelled at her.

Xu Chaomu felt wronged: “Yeah, there’s eating too.”

“…” Shen Chi’s mouth twitched. “Don’t say I know you!”

The car turned a corner, and the Luo Family Medical Group appeared in front, spacious and well-maintained.

In the evening, there weren’t many people, but one could still see nurses coming and going.

Shen Chi parked the car and unbuckled his seatbelt.

He didn’t leave the car immediately but leaned in close to her face and, taking advantage of her surprise, pecked her on the cheek.

“Jerk, taking advantage of someone when they’re not expecting it,” Xu Chaomu glared at him angrily.

Shen Chi patted her cheek: “Be good, call me husband.”

But he didn’t wait for her to respond, simply got out of the car, closing the door behind him.

“Come back soon!” Xu Chaomu called out from the window.

What she got in response was Shen Chi’s straight back, and his somewhat desolate figure.

Once he left, Xu Chaomu sat in the car thinking.

Who was he going to see? What for? Why didn’t he take her?

There were no familiar faces in the hospital now, except for Wen Zhiyuan and Shen Cexian.

Obviously, Shen Chi wouldn’t seek out Wen Zhiyuan at night.

So, there was only one answer, Shen Chi was here for Shen Cexian.

And if it was for Shen Cexian, it was likely about the last paternity test.

The matter left Xu Chaomu puzzled, yet she was too lazy by nature to ponder it much.

Plus, with Shen Chi by her side, she was even less inclined to think.

Over the years, a lot had happened, such as being kidnapped five years ago, or that time in the bar when someone drugged her, but as soon as Shen Chi arrived, she would forget all these incidents.

Once something was over, it was over, and anything Shen Chi could deal with, he most certainly would take care of for her. She didn’t like overthinking.

Even though the matters concerned her, she preferred to not get involved.

She was still the same Xu Chaomu, too lazy to care or think.

Now, sitting in the car bored, she started playing with her phone.

Shen Chi walked up the elevator and went straight to Shen Cexian’s hospital room.

The bodyguards outside saw Shen Chi and respectfully whispered, “Young Master Four.”

All the staff here had been replaced with Shen Chi’s people, so no one dared to stop him.

“Is he inside?” Shen Chi stopped walking.

“Reporting to Young Master Four, he is inside, and so is Lady Zhou.”

“Hmm.”

Shen Chi advanced, pushing the door. It opened with one push, and he entered the hospital room.

At the sound of the door, both Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran looked up involuntarily.

They had been in conversation, but when Shen Chi arrived, their talk came to an abrupt halt.

Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Shen Chi sneered and got straight to the point, “Are the things ready?”

Shen Cexian just glanced at him and then lowered his eyes, nonchalantly responding, “You come uninvited?”

“I did give notice twice in advance,” Shen Chi responded lightly.

“Achi, you can go back. If you manage the group well, your father will certainly hand it over to you,” Zhou Ran spoke first.

She knew that Shen Cexian was just infuriated by Shen Chi; he was unlikely to sign the authorization documents during this period.

“Do you really think I would covet Shen Group?” Shen Chi sneered.

Shen Cexian looked up in surprise, his gaze filled with disdain.

“If you didn’t covet it, why would you need me to hand over control of the group and sign your name on it three times?”

“Father, that’s the only leverage you have against me now,” Shen Chi stepped closer. “And you’re well aware of why I want it.”

Shen Cexian looked at Shen Chi, his eyes bloodshot.

Yes, he understood!

Shen Chi wanted to seize power!

Without this only leverage, he would no longer have anything that could threaten him, and he would not be able to threaten Xu Chaomu either!

“Whatever I want, I will fight for,” Shen Chi walked up to the bedside.

The atmosphere in the hospital room was very tense, as if it would freeze into ice with just a bit more coldness.
