If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Calling You Uncle Four

“There’s your favorite dish, and I even had her make chicken soup for you. I told her, ‘Chaomu is pregnant with a baby.’”

Shen Chi spoke in an indifferent tone, with a smile on his face, “The butler couldn’t believe it. In her eyes, you are still the little girl who never grew up. She just couldn’t believe that you were pregnant, about to become a mother.”

“She told me that she must take you back, she wants to see you. These five years, she kept nagging me to find you and bring you back.”

Xu Chaomu fell silent, feeling a touch of emotion in her heart.

After all, it had been five years.

Even though she had said she would rather die than return to the Shen Family, those were words spoken in anger; a living person couldn’t be completely devoid of feelings.

“I’ll take you home.”

Shen Chi wrapped his arm around Xu Chaomu’s waist, leading her out of the hospital.

“I’ll go back, but don’t touch me!” Xu Chaomu swatted his hand away disdainfully.

“A hug won’t get you pregnant.”

“Shen Chi, we had an agreement, three rules. First, you give me back my cell phone; second, stay three steps away from me; third, no touching or grabbing! You agree to these three things, and I’ll go back with you.”

“Mm, I agree,” Shen Chi complied obediently.

Agreeing was one thing, but whether he could do it was another matter.

Only then did Xu Chaomu give him a disdainful glance and got into his Maybach.

The two of them sat in the back, neither speaking. One sat on the far right, the other on the far left.

Old Cheng, the driver, was truly anxious, but his anxiety was useless, so he could only sigh.

After the car started, it headed from the hospital toward the Shen Family home.

But even with the superior performance of the Maybach, Xu Chaomu still felt nauseous.

Initially, she looked out the window, but when her stomach churned, she quickly covered her mouth.

Furrowing her brows, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her abdomen at that moment.

“Ugh…” Xu Chaomu felt the urge to vomit.

“Stop the car!” Shen Chi hurriedly called out to Old Cheng.

“Mumu, are you feeling unwell? Let me hold you, lie in my arms for a while.”

Shen Chi wrapped his arms around Xu Chaomu’s waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Xu Chaomu was too weak to argue with him. She was like a rag doll in his arms.

It had been five years, yet the scent of him remained unchanged, and as she lay against his chest, her eyes grew hot, her nose stung, and she felt like crying.

In years past, his chest had provided her with endless comfort.

But now, it was nothing more than a regretful memory.

“Mumu, if you feel like vomiting, tell me. If it’s really unbearable, we can go back to the hospital.”

Shen Chi hadn’t been a father before and was quite inexperienced, unsure of what to do.

“Give me the cell phone, I need to call my husband…” Xu Chaomu was in discomfort.

Shen Chi’s brow furrowed. No matter how kind he was to her, he would never surpass her husband.

Seeing that Shen Chi didn’t react, Xu Chaomu grabbed the collar of his shirt, “Give me back my cell phone, you just promised me, you give me back my cell phone…”

“Chaomu, don’t be impulsive! Getting worked up is bad for the baby! Do you have to call that man? Isn’t it enough that I’m by your side?”

“Mr. Shen, you mean nothing to me. If you have spare time, you should spend it with Miss Jian Sisi instead.”

“I won’t return the phone to you, so stop thinking about it!”

“Shen Chi, you’re going back on your word, you’re despicable and shameless!”

“Mm, I admit that. Anything else?”

Having said that, Shen Chi held Xu Chaomu even tighter. One hand rested on her belly, knowing there was a little life inside.

This child must look a lot like her, cute and adorable. Of course, it must be beautiful as well.

After five years, she had come back… and was pregnant, but the child wasn’t his.

His heart ached, thinking that if he had known it would end up like this after five years, he would have never gone to South Africa; he would have never left her.

“Shen Chi, I want to call my husband. Before, whenever I was vomiting, he’d cook millet porridge for me, but you can’t do that.”

Xu Chaomu lifted her head weakly, her large eyes covered with a thin layer of moisture.

“How can I not?”

“Fine, today I want millet porridge, Mr. Shen. Will you make it for me? If it’s tasty, I might consider letting my baby call you ‘Uncle Four’ someday.”

The words “Uncle Four” struck a deep nerve in Shen Chi!

“I won’t allow it!” His voice suddenly turned cold.

“Don’t push your luck; it’s a sign of respect for him to call you ‘Uncle Four.’ Mr. Shen, don’t forget, your mother…”

“Shut up!” Shen Chi shouted.

Xu Chaomu’s words were like needles, stabbing at his nerves. He knew his mother had caused the death of her mother.

Between them was a chasm they could never cross.

“Xu Chaomu, listen carefully! I am your husband; this child can only call me daddy!”

“Stop deluding yourself. Do you want to meet the child’s father that badly? Let’s set a time, and I’ll arrange a meeting.”

“Our marriage certificate is right there; if you dare to marry someone else, I wouldn’t mind throwing your man into jail!”

“Mr. Shen, I’m surprised at you. You seem so fond of stepping in. But every day, looking at someone else’s child, do you feel comfortable? Also, don’t think about threatening Chenglang. If you dare to do anything to Chenglang or my child, I will not let you off the hook!”

“Chenglang? You say it so affectionately, but as long as we’re not divorced, don’t even think about marrying another man!”

“Shen Chi, I really hate you. You’re still the same, no change at all. Pretentious and arrogant. Do you still think I’m the little girl who enjoyed clinging to you every day?”

“Mumu, how can you not be my little girl anymore? We’ve known each other for thirteen years.”

After saying that, Shen Chi hugged her even tighter.

He was afraid she would leave again, afraid it would be another five years.

How many five-year periods can one have in a lifetime?

“Annoying, it’s so hot today, let me go,” Xu Chaomu struggled.

“Don’t move, just lie here in my arms and sleep awhile. When we reach the Shen Family home, I’ll make you millet porridge.”

“Make millet porridge? Alright, but it can’t be too soft or too hard. Can you do that, pampered Young Master Shen?”

“Call me husband.”

“Husband my foot.”

“Can’t you be more polite?”

“Annoyed?”

“I’m fine with it. A lifelong commitment, I have to get used to it if I don’t like it. I can’t help it; I’ve raised a wild girl myself, now it’s time to tame her.”

The two of them bickered all the way from the hospital to the Shen Family home.

Throughout the journey, Shen Chi insisted on holding Xu Chaomu, refusing to let go.

Xu Chaomu, unable to contend with him and not daring to, let him hold her.

But Xu Chaomu was anything but docile: “Mr. Shen, could you lift your arm a bit? It’s uncomfortable as a pillow!”

“Mr. Shen, could you please talk less? You’re getting on my nerves!”

“Mr. Shen, would you stop moving your hand around? Perverted pig!”
