If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 758 - : Give Me a Monkey to Give Birth To
Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Give Me a Monkey to Give Birth To
“You really know nothing at all? So they were lying?” Shen Chi caressed her chin.
“No…” Xu Chaomu was a bit anxious.
Talking logic with someone like Shen Chi, she would always be at a loss.
“Still not willing to tell?” Shen Chi looked at her.
This girl was clearly being bullied, yet she still wouldn’t say it, it seemed… he understood a bit now.
“I…” Xu Chaomu paused, then lowered her head and said, “I was slapped by Aunt Zhou.”
...
Xu Chaomu’s voice was very soft, but as soon as she finished speaking, a hint of coldness flashed through Shen Chi’s eyes, which instantly turned red.
It was his mother, no wonder she was reluctant to speak.
In C City, probably only his mother dared to hit her.
“Where did she hit you?” he asked in a hoarse voice, his gaze firmly on her face, his voice very deep.
“The left side,” Xu Chaomu spoke faintly.
She lay in Shen Chi’s embrace, close to his chest.
Actually, she could disregard all that, as long as he was still by her side, that was enough.
Just like tonight, he had rushed back from Washington to take her side, and she felt very content.
He had her in his heart…
Shen Chi’s large hand caressed her left cheek, where there were no longer any marks, but his hand kept caressing it over and over.
The slap was on her face, but the pain was in his heart.
She did not know how much pain he felt in his heart when he heard that she had been hit.
“Does it still hurt?” he asked, his voice still hoarse.
Xu Chaomu shook her head and chuckled lightly, “Of course, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“It won’t happen again,” Shen Chi solemnly promised her.
No one dared to lay a finger on her as she grew up, but this one time, while he was away on a trip, his mother had hit her. He promised her, there would never be a next time!
How could he not feel heartache when the girl he doted on was hit by someone?
Right now, his heart was aching, especially when he saw her smile.
Silly girl, still smiling.
“Okay, okay,” Xu Chaomu reached out a hand and waved it in front of his eyes, laughing, “It’s alright, stop frowning. Smile for me, come on, smile for your little lord, hmm?”
Shen Chi grabbed her fidgeting little hand and lowered his voice, “Who’s the little lord?!”
“Uh…” Xu Chaomu mumbled to herself, this stingy man, so she simply said, “You.”
“Alright, then smile for your little lord,” Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.
Teased by him, she giggled out loud and rubbed against him, “Fair’s fair, I smiled for you, now you smile for me.”
She was amusing him; she wasn’t used to seeing him with such a stern face.
She didn’t want a serious and earnest Shen Chi, she wanted the Fourth Brother who doted on her.
Shen Chi hooked the corner of his lips, a faint curve forming on the edge of his mouth.
Seeing him smile a little, she finally felt relieved. She really hoped he wouldn’t argue with his mother, which she did not wish to see.
“Time to sleep,” Shen Chi said as he reached out to turn off the light.
Once the light was out, the room plunged into darkness, and outside was very dark too; one couldn’t see their own hand in the bedroom.
Xu Chaomu crawled out of his embrace and obediently lay next to him.
“Mm, sleep, good night,” Xu Chaomu said.
“Mm.”
Shen Chi lay down too, but as soon as he did, the girl moved over again, resting her head on his arm.
Shen Chi, resigned, let her use his arm as a pillow.
Perhaps it was because she was extremely tired, or maybe because she had not been sleeping well lately. This time, Xu Chaomu fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down.
When he wasn’t there, she always tossed and turned, struggling to fall asleep. Once he was back, it was as if she had found support, and she slept soundly.
However, Shen Chi wasn’t asleep at all; he was still thinking about many things.
For example, the paternity test, and the fact that his mother had slapped her…
How many hardships had this girl endured while he was away?
It was all his fault, for not protecting her well enough.
He gently patted her back until he could hear her breathing evenly, then he closed his eyes.
That night, Xu Chaomu slept especially soundly.
The blanket didn’t fall off during the night, because he was there.
She slept until after nine in the morning.
When she woke up, Shen Chi hadn’t left yet, but he was already awake and texting on his phone.
She opened her eyes and looked at him, oh, someone looked very sexy upon waking up. His robe’s collar was half-undone, revealing a section of wheat-colored skin, both sensual and wild.
Xu Chaomu stared and stared, unflatteringly swallowing her saliva.
This man, he was just like a demon.
She was a demon, he was a menace, it seemed… they were quite a match? No, what was she thinking?
Shen Chi lifted his head, his dark eyes looking at her.
He was looking at her, and she was looking at him.
Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but laugh first, pointing at his phone, “Who are you texting with?”
“Something about work.”
“Oh, not a little sweetheart?” Xu Chaomu rested her chin on her hand, gazing at him, “Like, apologizing to a sweetheart, oh dear, I didn’t come over last night, don’t be lonely, once I deal with the one at home, I’ll come to you.”
Shen Chi laughed: “Deal with? You wish for me to deal with you first thing in the morning?”

His eyes carried a dangerous message, laughing with a hint of malice.
As soon as Xu Chaomu heard that, she understood, uh…
“Forget it, I won’t talk to you, you’re always thinking about improper things,” Xu Chaomu huffed.
“You are to blame, not me,” Shen Chi responded with an innocent face.
“Blaming me when you’re filthy, shameless,” Xu Chaomu said, “By the way, aren’t you going to the corporation?”
“No.”
“Then what about your meeting in Washington? I heard it was very important, about that expo meeting,” Xu Chaomu felt a bit guilty.
He had definitely rushed back after asking the servants at Waterside Pavilion.
“It’s gone to hell.”
“Ah? It’s ruined? That’s a huge loss,” Xu Chaomu didn’t understand the specifics.
“The loss is at least several billion,” Shen Chi looked at her seriously.
“I… I didn’t mean to, you shouldn’t have rushed back.”
“You have to compensate, you understand?”
“What do I have to compensate you with, you selling me wouldn’t even cover a fraction,” Xu Chaomu said guiltily.
“You have three choices: first, have one baby monkey for me; second, have two baby monkeys for me; third, have three baby monkeys for me. I’m very democratic, you can choose any option.”
Xu Chaomu’s face fell, “Is there any other choice?”
“Fourth, have…”
“Alright, I’ll choose the first option, okay?” Xu Chaomu’s face was downcast.
Fourth, have four baby monkeys for him, fifth, have five baby monkeys for him… and so on, dammit, is this democracy?
Thankfully, she had one in her belly already, so she might get away with it.
“Mm, that works,” Shen Chi finally curled his lips, showing a satisfied smile.
He reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
The early morning air carried a faint scent from Xu Chaomu, and he rested his chin on her forehead, gently stroking her long hair.
“I’ll go out for a bit later,” Shen Chi said.
