If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 349: Chapter 349: What Could Be More Important Than Her
“I never thought I’d see you again,” Wen Zhiyuan still remembered the events from five years ago when he had treated Xu Chaomu’s gunshot wound and taken her to a hospital on Sumatra Island.

Yet, she left without saying a word.

He even thought she had left this world.

Unexpectedly, five years later, she was sitting safely in the Shen Family home.

“I hadn’t thought I would see Dr. Wen again either,” Xu Chaomu said.

“It’s good that you could come back,” Wen Zhiyuan said with a faint smile.

Xu Chaomu pulled up the corners of her mouth, returning the smile. Five years had passed, and Wen Zhiyuan hadn’t changed much, exuding a mature aura.

Gentle, modest, mature, that was Wen Zhiyuan.

“I should head back now. If there’s anything, give me a call,” Wen Zhiyuan picked up his medical kit.

“Dr. Wen, let me see you out,” the butler said.

“Don’t trouble yourself.”

The butler accompanied Wen Zhiyuan right out of the Shen residence. Since Wen Zhiyuan’s villa wasn’t far from the Shen home, he asked the butler to stop at the gate.

Carrying his medical kit, he walked back to his own house while the butler turned around and returned to the living room.

Xu Chaomu’s stomach was feeling a bit better now, though she was sweaty all over and didn’t dare to turn on the air conditioning.

“Chaomu, let me help you upstairs to rest. I’ll send up your dinner later,” the butler said.

“Thank you for the trouble, butler.”

“Why be so polite with me?” the butler chuckled. “Take good care these days, and if you need anything, just call me. I’ll take you to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup tomorrow.”

“It’s not necessary, I’m not that fragile, and Dr. Wen said the baby is fine just now.”

“It’s better to be careful. Otherwise, when the young master returns, he might flay me.”

“It’s not his child; he wouldn’t care,” Xu Chaomu said, her head lowered as she touched her belly.

“How so? I can tell the young master is really concerned about this child. He often reminds me to prepare nutritious food for the baby.”

Xu Chaomu, her hand on her belly, did not speak again.

“Chaomu, let me take you up. Lie in bed and rest, don’t move around. If you want something, tell me.”

“Butler, may I use your phone?”

“This… Chaomu, please don’t make it difficult for me.”

“I understand.”

Xu Chaomu’s face immediately showed disappointment. She steadied herself on the couch and stood up, her head down as she walked up the stairs to her room.

“Chaomu, take it slow,” the butler said, coming over to support her arm.

Xu Chaomu didn’t resist and walked into the room with the butler.

She turned on the room’s light and quietly walked to her own small bed.

“Here, let me help you,” the butler made the bed for her and turned on the air conditioning, “Lie down for a while, and once I have dinner ready, I’ll bring it to you.”

“Thank you, butler.”

Hearing Xu Chaomu’s subdued voice, the butler knew she was probably unhappy for not lending her the phone.

After lying in bed, Xu Chaomu picked up a book to read casually.

One hand rested on her belly and the other held the book.

“Baby, let me tell you a story. In the forest, there was a wolf…”

The butler smiled, didn’t disturb her any longer, gently closed the door to Xu Chaomu’s room, and walked downstairs.

It had been five years without seeing Xu Chaomu, and she had really changed a lot. Apart from behaving the same way in front of the young master, she had become much more polite and gentle in the presence of others.

The butler really didn’t know how Xu Chaomu had managed over these past five years.

Just as the butler was preparing dinner for Xu Chaomu, Shen Chi made a call.

“Butler, has she had dinner yet?”

“Not yet, I’m getting it ready for Chaomu.”

“What has she been doing today?”

“Young master, Chaomu has been having some strong pregnancy reactions, she was throwing up all morning. This afternoon, I took her to play with Dabai. In the evening, she complained of stomach pains, so I asked Dr. Wen to come over and have a look,” the butler reported truthfully.

“Any problems?” Shen Chi immediately tensed up.

“No problems as such. Dr. Wen mentioned he wants to take Chaomu to the hospital for a checkup soon. I was thinking of taking her tomorrow.”

“No need, I’ll take her.”

“Ah?” the butler was surprised, “Young master, didn’t you go to A City?”

“Yes, I’m coming back right away.”

“Young master, it’s fine, I can take Chaomu just as well. You just left for A City today; complete your work before coming back.”

“Is there anything more important than her?” Shen Chi said indifferently.

Uh… the butler was at a loss for words.

In the young master’s heart, there was only Xu Chaomu. His entire heart was led by her.

It was a journey of several hours by car from A City to C City, he would probably get back by midnight.

But the butler didn’t dare to persuade him and simply nodded, “Then young master, I’ll wait for you.”

After hanging up, the butler went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Xu Chaomu, making her some silver ear and lotus seed soup in case she found the evening meal too rich.

Xu Chaomu, after reading for a while and telling stories for a while, felt stuffy.

The weather in summer was especially irritable, and she couldn’t calm her heart.

It had been several days since she last saw Nie Chenglang, and she wanted to see him; she had many questions to ask him.

However, the butler was strict, and she had no chance of leaving the Shen home, not even to make a phone call.

She tossed the book aside in irritation and lay on the bed in a huff.

“Baby, I really hate your uncle, How can he be like this, such poor character,” she said.

“Baby, when you grow up, you need to make up for all the grievances your mother has suffered. For example, if you ever come across his child on the street, just beat them up good, and Mommy will pay for the medical expenses.”

After mumbling a few words to her baby, Xu Chaomu finally felt much more comfortable; her stomach no longer hurt.

In such a quiet summer night, she suddenly really wanted to listen to “Summer.” As the piano sounded, the summer night was peaceful.

“Chaomu, come have some lotus seed soup.”

It wasn’t long before the butler pushed open Xu Chaomu’s room door.

Xu Chaomu was getting sleepy, but she was startled by the butler, her eyes opened again, and she sat up from the bed.

The butler brought the lotus seed soup to her and tenderly moved aside her messy hair with her fingers.

“Is the temperature of the air conditioner okay? If there’s anything wrong, just tell me,” the butler said.

“Everything’s fine,” Xu Chaomu smiled.

“Good, have something to eat before you sleep, and rest well. I’ll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Xu Chaomu picked up the lotus seed soup from the table, stirred it a few times with a spoon, blew on it, and began to eat slowly.

Seeing that she had some appetite, the butler felt reassured.

“Chaomu, over the past five years abroad, what have you been doing?”

“Studying, traveling, dating.”

“Dating? With the father of this baby?”

“Yes.”

“In these five years, did you really not miss the young master at all?”

“What is there to miss about him? Bad temper, poor character, too many scandals. Thinking about him gives me a headache.”
