If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 612: Chapter 612 Kids Are Very Clingy
 

Qin Chen understood her intention and said to Butler Ling, “Once the oranges are ripe, I can come back to get them.”

Shen Di laughed, “Going back and forth would take quite some time, it would make me look terribly gluttonous.”

“I am willing.” Qin Chen lowered his head, his tender gaze lingering on her eyes.

Eyes meeting, Shen Di smiled softly and averted his gaze. After all, there were many people around.

“Miss, have you had breakfast? I’ve prepared a lot of your favorite dishes,” Butler Ling said.

“Does the butler still remember what I like to eat?” Shen Di felt pleasantly surprised.

“Of course, I remember clearly what you like, what Fourth Young Master likes, and what the Fourth Young Madam likes,” he replied.

“Let’s go in then. Adi, it’s been quite tiring traveling all this way,” Qin Chen said to Shen Di.

“Chen, could you help me get the medicine? It’s time to take it,” Shen Di said to him in a soft voice.

Although she spoke softly, Butler Ling still heard her and sighed inwardly.

The young lady was good in every aspect but her health had always been less than ideal. Over the years, she had hardly been off medication. Unexpectedly, it was still the same now.

She didn’t dare to ask too much and was unaware of whether Shen Di’s health had improved at all.

Qin Chen nodded and turned to get the medicine.

After entering the living room, Shen Di looked around, the Shen Family home was still the same, lavish and exquisitely opulent.

Standing in the living room of the Shen Family, memories came flooding back. It turned out, she had not returned to the Shen Family home in so many years.

The paintings she used to like still quietly hung on the walls, well framed, showing no signs of wear from time.

The pastel-colored large vase, the blue-and-white porcelain tea set, and the crabapple wood coffee table… none of these items had changed, and seeing them, a sense of familiarity welled up inside her.

After Shen Di entered the living room, Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi also followed.

Xu Chaomu brushed off Shen Chi’s hand and walked towards Shen Di.

“Sister, what kind of tea would you like to drink?” Xu Chaomu opened the teapot and arranged the cups.

“Just snow chrysanthemum tea is fine; I’ll do it myself, you sit down,” Shen Di said.

Shen Di’s eyes and brows smiled at Xu Chaomu as she took the teapot from her hand.

She had never interacted with this younger sister before—today was their first meeting. The feeling between them was quite good.

In the past at the Shen Family, Xu Chaomu was their younger sister, and now, she was her brother-in-law’s wife.

The girl was very pretty, with an average height, a delicate face, always with a smile.

Xu Chaomu still insisted on pouring a cup of tea for Shen Di, then she poured one for Qin Chen and Shen Chi as well.

They sat side by side on the sofa, while Shen Chi sat opposite them.

“Mumu, this is a gift I brought for you, take a look and see if you like it.” Shen Di handed Xu Chaomu a tote bag.

Xu Chaomu accepted and saw that inside were the jewelry and perfume she had bought for her.

“And this one too,” Shen Di took out another tote bag.

Upon opening it, Xu Chaomu was surprised to find it filled with baby clothes.

The tiny garments were extraordinarily cute; as Xu Chaomu took them out, her eyes marveled at them.

“Sister, these clothes are really adorable.”

“I’ve never bought anything for kids before; Qin Chen helped me choose them. He said that when your child is born, these should fit,” Shen Di said.

“The little one will surely be happy wearing clothes from their aunt.”

Well, to not mention the little one, just looking at these clothes made her happy herself.

She glanced at Shen Chi and pouted, letting out a cold huff.

Her face seemed to say: Mr. Qin will buy clothes for children, what about you?!

Shen Chi watched her small antics and indifferently shot her a glance.

Shen Di asked with concern, “How many months is the baby? Boy or girl? Has it started moving?”

“It’s almost four months. I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl.” Xu Chaomu’s face was full of happiness; her hand instinctively rested on her stomach, “It just started moving a few days ago, sometimes it even kicks me at night.”

“Have you decided on a name yet?”

“Not… not yet,” Xu Chaomu shook her head.

Shen Di glanced at Xu Chaomu, then at Shen Chi, and smiled, “Achi, you’ll need to be patient from now on. Kids can be quite clingy, you have to be a good father.”

“Mhm,” Shen Chi responded lightly.

Shen Di curled her lips into a smile; her fourth brother was still the same, silent and aloof.

She wondered how Xu Chaomu had managed to unlock his heart, which had been sealed for so many years. Moreover, she vaguely heard that the child Xu Chaomu was carrying was not Shen Chi’s.

Shen Chi’s character was clear to her; he was a proud man who never lacked women’s attention, yet he was willing to take a woman who was pregnant with someone else’s child, which showed he truly loved Xu Chaomu.

However, there are some things ingrained in one’s nature that are hard to change completely—could Shen Chi really accept this child that wasn’t his?

For instance, sometimes when she spoke with him on the phone and asked about Xu Chaomu’s child, he would always divert the topic, not willing to say another word.

Also, like now, his brows were slightly furrowed, obviously not wanting to listen to her talking about it.

Shen Di turned to look at Xu Chaomu, who seemed to be in a good mood as she folded the baby clothes she took out, one by one.

“Mumu, try on this bracelet,” Shen Di suggested.

She opened a jewelry box and took out a jade bracelet.

The bright and smooth raw jade shone brightly under the light, the bracelet was very pretty.

Shen Di took Xu Chaomu’s hand and put the jade bracelet on her wrist: “Perfect, it seems our hands are pretty much the same size.”

“Sister… this bracelet is so valuable…” Xu Chaomu was a bit embarrassed.

“Had I been in a hurry returning, I wouldn’t have bothered to choose anything else. This bracelet is one I wear often; you don’t mind, do you?”

Xu Chaomu shook her head repeatedly: “The bracelet is beautiful, I like it. Sister, if you are very fond of it, you can take it back…”

She knew that the belongings often worn tend to have sentimental value.

“I wouldn’t give it to just anyone.” Shen Di smiled.

She held Xu Chaomu’s hand and didn’t let her take the bracelet off.

“If your sister gives it to you, you should accept it,” Shen Chi said in a deep voice.

“Thank you, sister.”

“Oh right, there is also a pair of little silver bracelets for your baby,” Shen Di took out another jewelry box.

Indeed, inside were two very small bracelets, exceptionally cute.

“Sis, what about my gift?” Shen Chi smiled.

“Nothing for you,” she replied.

“That’s favoritism,” Shen Chi said.

Xu Chaomu laughed, Shen Di was much nicer to her than she was to Shen Chi.

At that moment, Qin Chen came back with the medicine and sat beside Shen Di, skillfully sorting out the pills from the box.

Xu Chaomu knew Shen Di’s health was poor but this was her first time seeing Shen Di take so much medication.

The sight was shocking, and she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Such a wonderful girl, Shen Di, yet heaven hadn’t treated her well.
