If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Shen Chi’s Illegitimate Son
 

“If I tell you to say something, you say it!” Shen Chi’s tone was very domineering.

Once he had spoken, he would move on. No need for so much nonsense.

“Yelling at me again? I won’t tell you!” Xu Chaomu huffed coldly and hung up the phone.

As soon as she hung up, she angrily tossed her backpack a few times. This man, truly domineering.

“…” Shen Chi looked puzzled. Little Fairy was really getting ahead, daring to stand up to him after leaving him stranded halfway earlier.

Xu Chaomu was alone, holding a list and queuing up. Actually, if Shen Chi had come over, she wouldn’t have needed to queue and could have enjoyed VIP service.

However, she felt this was also quite good. Occasionally, standing in line with a group of pregnant women gave her a certain feeling.

She chatted idly with a few pregnant women nearby as she queued up, bored.

“My baby’s been so restless; I haven’t been able to sleep well these past few nights,” a young pregnant woman sighed, holding her forehead.

Xu Chaomu asked, “How many months is your baby?”

“Almost seven months.”

“Oh,” Xu Chaomu responded, “Did you all come here by yourselves?”

Xu Chaomu was curious, noticing how all the pregnant women were queuing up, some with noticeably large bellies, while some didn’t show their pregnancy as much.

“My husband went to get medicine. The hospital is really crowded now. If I don’t stand here, who knows how many people will have queued up by the time my husband gets back.”

“Yeah, my husband went to queue up on the other side. Look, that’s my husband over there,” another pregnant woman said.

Xu Chaomu looked and, indeed, saw a young man queuing nearby but he seemed quite impatient.

“And your husband?” someone asked Xu Chaomu.

“He’s busy with work, I came by myself,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

“What about your mother-in-law? Your mom? Didn’t anyone come with you?” They asked curiously.

Xu Chaomu knew they meant no harm; it was just a casual question as people normally would ask. So, Xu Chaomu just smiled, “They are all very busy.”

“That busy? They don’t have time to accompany you for a pregnancy check-up?”

“Yeah, they all have things to do. I happened to be free, so I came by myself. It’s okay,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Are you working now or a full-time wife?” The pregnant women started gossiping.

“I’m working. Our department had a day off today, so I came by myself for a pregnancy check-up,” Xu Chaomu explained. “What about you?”

“I have to work too. Look at me, I’m due in a month, but I have no choice, work is too busy, I have to go every day,” one woman lamented.

Xu Chaomu said, “That’s tough, your bosses don’t care for you at all.”

“It’s not that, the place just has no one else to do the work, so they rely on me, a pregnant woman. But it’s okay, a few more days and then I’ll go home, I won’t care anymore, I’ll just leave it!”

Xu Chaomu laughed, “You should have rested at home long ago, your workplace should give you a bigger subsidy.”

“Oh, my husband’s here.”

Xu Chaomu looked up to see a man in his thirties walking over, and the pregnant woman went up to him and happily linked her arm with his.

They walked away, arm in arm, chatting intimately with each other.

After they left, another pregnant woman sneakily glanced at Xu Chaomu and whispered, “That woman looked pretty, didn’t she?”

Xu Chaomu nodded, “She is pretty and seems very committed to her job.”

“Not at all,” the woman responded. “She’s a mistress who made it big. The man just now is her boss, and she used some underhanded tactics to oust his former wife. Then the man divorced his previous wife and married her.”

“Ah.” Xu Chaomu was taken aback.

“Hard to tell, right? They look so loving, just like a real couple, bickering sweethearts,” the pregnant woman commented.

Xu Chaomu wasn’t too interested in other people’s gossip, especially since she didn’t know them.

But chatting like this was quite amusing.

After a while, it was her turn in the queue. Xu Chaomu took her form and made an appointment.

She walked around the hospital alone with her bag. She looked around and found an empty seat not far away. She could go sit there.

When her number was called, she could go in.

There really were a lot of people in the hospital. She walked very carefully, stroking her belly as she moved slowly towards the seat.

She was extremely cautious, for fear of being bumped accidentally.

However, just as she was two steps away from the seat, a middle-aged man plopped down right into it!

Xu Chaomu was startled and shook her head helplessly.

The middle-aged man saw Xu Chaomu but was indifferent. Pretending not to notice, he bowed his head and started playing on his phone.

Xu Chaomu looked around. There were no other seats available, so she had no choice but to walk away.

Luckily, there were no seats, but there was still standing room available.

Just as she was about to leave the area, a little boy approached her.

“Auntie, you can sit in my spot.”

The boy’s voice still had a childlike innocence, but compared to other kids his age, he seemed somewhat more mature.

Xu Chaomu looked down and saw a boy about five or six years old.

He was wearing a fitted white T-shirt, with a handsome face and bright eyes, but he had an air of seriousness out of step with his age.

The boy was quite handsome. Xu Chaomu stared at him for a moment, feeling as if she had seen that same sort of handsomeness somewhere before.

He didn’t smile but simply pointed to the seat he was offering her.

Xu Chaomu saw that he really was offering her a spot.

“It’s okay, kiddo. You sit. Auntie has been sitting too long and needs to walk around,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

The little boy looked up at her earnestly and said bluntly, “Liar.”

“Uh…” Xu Chaomu was taken aback. What? This little guy was calling her a liar? How embarrassing…

“You were just looking for a seat,” the little boy continued, “You wanted that spot over there, but someone else took it. That means you’re tired and want to rest. And now, you’re saying you’ve sat too long—that’s lying, isn’t it?”

Xu Chaomu found herself speechless, outwitted by a child. His reasoning was… rather sensible.

Xu Chaomu chuckled awkwardly, bent down to pat his head, and complimented him, “At such a young age, you’re so smart. You must get a hundred percent in school, don’t you?”

“I don’t go to school,” the little boy said without much expression on his face.

His demeanor made Xu Chaomu think that he somewhat resembled Shen Chi.

Then it dawned on her. Could he be Shen Chi’s illegitimate child?

Given his looks, he was no less handsome than Shen Chi as a child, and he was so clever, his reasoning at such a young age was solid, reminiscent of Shen Chi!

The key point was, the little guy had a chilly demeanor, exuding a sense of pride and coolness, very much like Shen Chi.

Damn, could he really be Shen Chi’s illegitimate child?

“So, how old are you?” Xu Chaomu asked.
