If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 804 - : Compensation in the Evening

Chapter 804: Chapter 804: Compensation in the Evening

Shen Chi stood up, took the bag from her hand, and said indifferently, “Let’s go in.”

Xu Chaomu didn’t know what he was thinking, for he would never tell her unless she pressed him for answers again and again.

As they walked to the clinic, Xu Chaomu looped her arm through his and said quietly, “Shen Chi, why do you always keep your thoughts to yourself? I always feel… that you don’t consider me someone you can confide in…”

Actually, she didn’t have many friends, and often, she wanted to talk to him more, but he didn’t seem very inclined.

“Don’t overthink,” Shen Chi said. “We’re here, let’s go in.”

Xu Chaomu lowered her head and said no more. She knocked on the door and entered the obstetrics and gynecology clinic.

...

“Come in.” A female doctor was inside, looking down as she wrote something.

“Doctor, I’m here for a prenatal check-up,” Xu Chaomu said, sitting down. “I’ve been here a few times.”

The female doctor looked up, took the things she handed over, and adjusted her glasses. “Oh, Xu Chaomu, yes, I remember. You’re the one who often comes alone for check-ups, huh? Your husband is with you today?”

Xu Chaomu nodded and smiled, “Yes, he happened to be free today.”

The female doctor glanced at Shen Chi and said, “Your husband is quite handsome.”

Xu Chaomu smiled. She had heard such remarks many times. Shen Chi was universally acknowledged as handsome.

The female doctor asked her a few questions and then performed a simple physical examination.

In such matters, Shen Chi had no room to comment, but still, he was there, quietly waiting with her.

“All right, you’re in good health. Go have a quad screen and ultrasound, and according to the sheet, get a urinalysis and complete blood count as well. I’ve told you before, pay attention to rest, no staying up late, keep your emotions stable, and eat nutritious foods. Everything’s listed on the paper I gave you last time.”

The female doctor spoke to Xu Chaomu, who nodded and listened.

After a while, the female doctor laughed, “Actually, I should be saying these things to your husband. Since he never came before, I got into the habit of telling you instead.”

Xu Chaomu glanced at Shen Chi and smiled, “The doctor wants to talk to you.”

“I heard,” Shen Chi said.

“Right, as a husband, you should take more care of your wife. It’s not easy for a wife to carry a child for ten months. The hardships of pregnancy are something men like you wouldn’t understand. You should be nicer to your wife during this time,” the female doctor stated.

“Mhm,” Shen Chi acknowledged.

The female doctor suddenly found herself unsure how to communicate with Shen Chi; he was different from other men.

“Okay, doctor, I’ve got it,” Xu Chaomu smiled. “I will go do the other tests now.”

“Go ahead,” the doctor replied.

Xu Chaomu walked to Shen Chi’s side, looked up at him, and said, “You wait here for me, I’ll be back soon.”

“I’ll come with you.”

“No need, it won’t take long,” Xu Chaomu said. “It’s just that the queue might take a while. Why don’t you talk to the doctor? She’s quite familiar with my condition.”

“Every time I offer to arrange the hospital for you, you refuse,” Shen Chi said in a lowered voice, frowning.

“Do you like to use your privileges that much? I think this is fine,” Xu Chaomu said. “Okay, I’m off.”

After speaking, Xu Chaomu took a few forms and headed out of the clinic.

Shen Chi stood there with his arms crossed, unsure of what to ask.

“If you have no questions, then I’ll call the next person,” the female doctor said, pushing her glasses.

Shen Chi frowned and finally asked, “How has Chaomu’s pregnancy been going these past few visits?”

The female doctor was taken aback. What kind of question was that?

“Sir, didn’t she tell you when she got home?”

“She always says it’s fine,” Shen Chi said.

“There’s no big issue, but a few times, probably because she was feeling down, she had red eyes when she came here. Look, sir, don’t you care about her at all?”

“It’s my fault.”

“What kind of job keeps you so busy? Don’t you care about your own wife and child?”

Shen Chi didn’t speak, it was his fault; he hadn’t accompanied her on the last few visits.

Previously, he always felt like the child belonged to someone else, so he didn’t want to see the fetus. Now, he was full of regret for not spending more time with her.

“You men, I don’t know what to say to you. You think you’re so great just because you earn money and provide for the family,” the female doctor chided. “Is that really what women want the most? Obviously not. Sometimes their wishes are very simple, they just want you to spend more time with them.”

Shen Chi kept quiet, silently taking in the doctor’s advice.

In what other place would anyone dare to lecture him? But today, Shen Chi was like a child who had done something wrong, silently taking the scolding.

“I have a good impression of your wife; she has a nice personality and a good temper. She’s always polite when she comes here, and she listens carefully to what I say. When I ask her why her husband didn’t come again, she says every time that her husband is busy, always so understanding of you.”

Shen Chi fell silent.

“So, cherish her well.”

“Mhm,” Shen Chi responded in a low voice.

The female doctor said a few more words, feeling she had said everything that needed to be said, not sure if the man had taken it to heart.

She called the next patient, and Shen Chi also left the department.

When Xu Chaomu came again, her hands were carrying more things.

“Fourth Brother!” Xu Chaomu called out to him.

“All done?”

“Yes, it’s done. The doctor said to come and get the report tomorrow.”

“It’s that complicated?” Shen Chi frowned.

“It’s fine, I’ll come by myself tomorrow; I don’t mind the trouble. If you’re going to find a doctor for me, that’s what I find troublesome,” Xu Chaomu said.

She liked to come to the hospital to register and see the doctor herself; sometimes it gave her a chance to chat with others.

After all, she didn’t have much else to do these days, so she might as well keep the little one company.

For example, by visiting the hospital today, she even encountered Ji Shengxuan’s ex-wife and son, which wasn’t a bad deal.

“I’ll accompany you,” Shen Chi said.

“No need, no need, you have work to do. I already feel quite guilty for holding you up for so long today,” Xu Chaomu said.

“If you really feel guilty, you can compensate me tonight.” Shen Chi looked at her casually.

“Speaking of which, I have to tell you that I just had an ultrasound, and the doctor said to cut down on the frequency of that.”

“…” Shen Chi’s mouth twitched.

“Alright then, let’s go home!” Xu Chaomu linked her arm through his, relishing the sight of Shen Chi’s chagrined expression.

…

The next day, Xu Chaomu snuck out to the hospital to get her test report without Shen Chi knowing.

It’s not that she didn’t want his company; like many women, she also liked having her husband by her side.

But Shen Chi was very busy, and she knew it.

Not wanting to hinder his work, she came on her own.

The hospital was still crowded. After she got out of the taxi, she shielded her eyes from the sun and walked towards the hospital.

But, to her surprise, just as she stepped into the hospital, Shen Chi caught her red-handed.

“Didn’t I say that I would accompany you?” Shen Chi assertively wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

“I… you… aren’t you busy?” Xu Chaomu was dumbfounded.
