If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1259: Be Good, Wait for Daddy to Come Back

Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259: Be Good, Wait for Daddy to Come Back

Originally, in Bai Xuan’s heart, he still doted on Bai Man, even though he now knew she was his daughter too.

"Give her a chance to reform..." Bai Xuan’s tone softened, sounding more like a plea.

"I’ve been thinking about this for the past few days. If Jiang Zhilan hadn’t pleaded with me, I might never have known who my real father was. But I think that won’t change my decision," Xu Chaomu said. "I don’t believe Bai Man will change."

"Bai Man is still young and took the wrong path, but she wants to turn back," Bai Xuan said. "Sometimes she cries to me, saying she made a mistake."

"Really? Being an actress really makes a difference."

A look of disdain was on Xu Chaomu’s face; she did not come today to discuss with Bai Xuan but to tell him that she would no longer be kind.

She still remembered the scene of her little Wealth lying in a pool of blood, twitching limbs and a pitiful look in his eyes.

But Bai Man had deliberately hit her Wealth; what Bai Man wanted was always for her, Xu Chaomu, to suffer miserably. freewёbnoνel.com

Why should she let such a ruthless woman off the hook?

"Chaomu, I know I have no place to ask you anything, but could you please plead with Achi on her behalf? As for the Bai Family, I want nothing," Bai Xuan said. "After all, Manman is the daughter I watched grow up."

"What if it had been me today?" Xu Chaomu asked.

"I would have helped you too."

"But you do have a bias in your heart; Bai Man is the daughter you raised and doted on from a young age, unlike me. I have no emotional connection with you," Xu Chaomu said. "So in your heart, Bai Man is much more important than me."

"No, it’s not like that; you are my daughter with Mengxi, and I care deeply for you," Bai Xuan urgently defended.

"No need to explain. I am well aware," Xu Chaomu said as she looked out the window. "I also won’t take the paternity test seriously; life will continue as it has."

"No, Chaomu, you are my daughter, and that can’t change," Bai Xuan insisted.

"Many choices can’t be perfect for both sides, just like what you did to mom," Xu Chaomu said. "So now, whatever decision I make can’t make everyone happy. If I agreed to forgive Jiang Zhilan and Bai Man, the person who would suffer is me."

"I’m not asking you to forgive them. I just hope you could show a little mercy," Bai Xuan said.

"If we had no relationship and I had killed Bai Man’s child, would you come full force against me? Would you seek justice for Bai Man?"

Bai Xuan fell silent, head bowed without a word.

"Then shouldn’t I seek justice for myself?" Xu Chaomu said.

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Bai Xuan asked cautiously.

"There isn’t," Xu Chaomu seriously shared all her thoughts with Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan said nothing more; he nodded, "No matter what, I hope you can be happy, Achi is a man worth entrusting with your life."

"I know," Xu Chaomu said, her tone finally carrying a hint of pride.

"I always hoped Manman would marry Achi, but things later turned out unexpectedly. Now that you can marry Achi and be happy, I am also relieved," Bai Xuan sighed.

Xu Chaomu remained silent; she knew Bai Xuan and Jiang Zhilan weren’t the same. His words were sincere.

"Be good to Achi," Bai Xuan sincerely blessed.

The rain continued outside the window, cascading down the glass in serpentine trails. The winter was cold and long, raindrops falling on the bare trees, a scene of bleak despair.

The Bai Family’s potted plants seemed long neglected, their yellow brittleness devoid of life’s vigor.

The old mansion was unusually quiet, only a dense presence of bodyguards patrolling around.

When Xu Chaomu left the Bai Family house, the rain persisted, shrouding everything in mist.

Xu Chaomu stood outside the living room under her umbrella, letting the rain slide off the surface.

The wind blew her long hair, a few strands sticking to her cheeks, which she brushed aside.

Xiaogao saw her off in the car; as the car started, she glimpsed an earnest face and two eyes filled with reluctant goodbye through the window.

She did not look back, lowering her eyelids and leaning her cheek against the window.

The road was somewhat congested and it took a full hour to return to Waterside Pavilion.

Shen Chi had not yet come home, so she went to the kitchen and prepared several dishes he loved.

After finishing the dinner, she played with Xiaobao on the couch.

Perhaps it was because of the rainy day, Xiaobao was a bit restless, wriggling around in Xu Chaomu’s arms.

"Baby, look here, do you want mommy to teach you poetry?" Xu Chaomu pointed to a Tang Poetry Book.

Xiaobao showed no interest, continuing to wriggle in Xu Chaomu’s arms.

"Alright, be good, wait for daddy to come back," Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

Xu Chaomu sat under the lamp, playing puzzles with Xiaobao.

The orange light illuminated her face, calm and beautiful. She had always longed for this peaceful life, preparing meals and waiting for him to return.

After a while, Xiaobao grew tired and fell asleep in Xu Chaomu’s arms.

Xu Chaomu carefully carried him upstairs, then came back down.

Outside, the rain kept pouring relentlessly, sounding somewhat desolate.

She read a book while waiting for Shen Chi, but by nearly eleven at night, Shen Chi still had not returned.

She made a phone call to him, but... no one answered. Soon, while reading, she fell asleep.

It was after midnight when Shen Chi finally came home.

As he entered, he saw Xu Chaomu on the couch and the table full of dishes.

The dishes had long since grown cold, and he couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

He took off his coat, draped it over her, and carried her to the bedroom.

The moment he laid her on the bed, Xu Chaomu woke up. She blinked her eyes and looped her arms around his neck, chiding, "Why are you home so late?"

"I was having dinner with a client, sorry."

Xu Chaomu’s nose tingled, and she kept silent; indeed, Shen Chi smelled of alcohol.

"Go to sleep, I’ll come up soon," Shen Chi kissed her forehead.

"I haven’t eaten yet..." Xu Chaomu said, looking aggrieved.

Shen Chi curled his lips into a smile, "Were you waiting for me?"

"No, I just accidentally fell asleep reading and forgot."

"And the table full of dishes was also made by accident?"

Xu Chaomu smiled without saying a word, her hands still hanging around his neck.

Outside, the rain sounded clear, while inside, the light was hazy. For a moment, she thought she was dreaming, because all of this... really seemed like a dream.

"I haven’t eaten much either, let’s eat together," Shen Chi said.

"I can’t walk."

"I’ll carry you."

Shen Chi picked her up from the bed again, and he did so willingly.

Xu Chaomu reheated all the dishes, and only then looked at the time; it was already early morning.
