Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011: Who Will Be Able to Enter Her Heart in the Future Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011: Who Will Be Able to Enter Her Heart in the Future The lights in the corridor were bleak, the surroundings empty, leaving only Xu Chaomu’s shadow stretched long, very long…
She buried her head in her knees, sitting silently on the chair, not crying, not making a fuss, but very quiet.
Because it was too quiet, when Xiao Mo ca, the sound of his leather shoes clicking on the ground was clear.
“Chaomu,” he called out to her from a distance.
Xu Chaomu wasn’t asleep; she imdiately lifted her head, “Xiao Mo!”
“How is Wealth doing?”
“The doctor is performing surgery on him; they said the injuries are a bit severe,” Xu Chaomu spoke, her voice tinged with obvious sorrow.
“I’ve just called soone, they will send over a batch of imported dications, I’ve heard they’re effective,” Xiao Mo said.
“Thank you for that, I didn’t expect you to co from C City this late…”
“Don’t ntion it, these are the things Shen Chi should be doing.”
Xu Chaomu lowered her head and did not speak.
Xiao Mo sat down beside her, and for a mont, the surrounding area returned to silence.
“What happened tonight?” Xiao Mo asked.
“We had a company dinner tonight, and as I was heading ho, I saw Wealth had been hit by a car…” Xu Chaomu told Xiao Mo everything in detail.
Including what she saw of Bai Man, Bai Man pretending not to recognize her, then the beating she gave Bai Man, smashing her car… and the altercation at the police station, Xu Chaomu told him all of it.
After listening, Xiao Mo felt both angry and amused.
“Good thing I’m not Shen Chi, or he would have scolded you again,” Xiao Mo said.
“Don’t ntion him…” Xu Chaomu muttered softly.
“I’ll sort out Bai Man for you,” Xiao Mo said.
“I warned her not to show her face in Jin City again; I don’t know if she took it to heart or not, but that woman, I really dislike her.”
“If she didn’t take it to heart, she’ll have to. It’s not up to her,” Xiao Mo said, “If you don’t like her, I don’t like her either.”
Hearing this made Xu Chaomu happy, and she laughed, “At least the two of us have so aesthetic and value judgnts in common, unlike so people, who really like Bai Man.”
“Didn’t you just say not to ntion him?” Xiao Mo laughed.
“Mhm, not ntioning him,” Xu Chaomu coughed lightly, “By the way, Wealth got hurt so badly for no reason. I feel so distressed, thinking I’ve wronged him. I don’t want to let this go…”
Thinking about Bai Man’s hypocrisy made her furious, and recalling the mont she held Wealth, so pitifully still in her arms, her rage deepened.
Xiao Mo stayed silent for a few seconds, not speaking.
Xu Chaomu wrung her hands, “Do you think I’m being too unkind…”
“No, you’re correct,” Xiao Mo said, “We can’t just let this go.”
“As long as you don’t find too cold-hearted, that’s good. All these years, especially in Paris, every ti I thought of Bai Man, I really hated her…” Xu Chaomu trailed off, her head lowered.
Reminded of those sad mories and coupled with Bai Man’s arrogance and smugness, she found it impossible to swallow her pride.
“Mhm.” In that mont, Xiao Mo felt an unusual surge of empathy.
He subconsciously lifted his hand, lightly touching her hair.
It was just an unintentional gesture, but as soon as his hand touched her hair, he drew it back, then slowly let it fall.
Indeed, if it weren’t for Bai Man, Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi would not have been apart for five long years.
If it weren’t for Bai Man, so things could have remained hidden for a lifeti.
That ti, Xu Chaomu had nearly lost her life.
Physical injuries may heal, but how are wounds to the heart supposed to nd?
Xu Chaomu was now fairly composed when it ca to Shen Chi, yet he knew she had rely locked away her heart…
If soone could enter her heart in the future, he thought it would likely only be her child.
“She brought this upon herself,” Xiao Mo said. “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
“Last night at the banquet, I saw the newspapers, she really carried herself with elegance and grace,” Xu Chaomu spoke indifferently.
“You still saw the papers, Shen’s orders ca too late for to pull the headline,” Xiao Mo said with a laugh.
“So what kind of person is Bai Man in your eyes? Do you share the sa view as everyone else? Is she a goddess?” Xu Chaomu pressed on.
“My thoughts are the sa as yours,” Xiao Mo shook his head, sotis Xu Chaomu really made him feel utterly helpless.
“I’m just afraid you might also think I’m heartless and ruthless, harsh to a delicate beauty like her,” Xu Chaomu said, propping his chin and sitting on a chair.
“She is neither delicate nor a beauty,” Xiao Mo said.
Xu Chaomu let out a chuckle, finding Xiao Mo rather adorable at tis.
“Aren’t you tired? Take a nap, I’ll keep watch, and if anything cos up, I’ll wake you,” Xiao Mo suggested.
“A bit. But you must be tired too, right?”
“Not a problem, if I hadn’t co here, I’d probably still be working overti,” Xiao Mo said deliberately.
“Then keep watch for , I wouldn’t want anything to happen to Wealth…” Xu Chaomu said.
“Sure, get so sleep.”
Xu Chaomu closed his eyes, leaning back in the chair. Probably due to the exhaustion, it wasn’t long before he fell asleep as he leaned back.
Afraid she might catch a chill, Xiao Mo took off his suit jacket and draped it around her.
Xu Chaomu dozed off and her head leaned against Xiao Mo’s shoulder. He did not move, maintaining the position, allowing her to use it as a pillow.
He reflected on her words from before. Bai Man’s tactics were truly unimaginable in their deviousness.
She didn’t even spare Xu Chaomu’s dog, but it seems Bai Man ca to Jin City by chance and there, she stumbled upon Xu Chaomu’s whereabouts.
Jin City was a small place; once you arrived, it was easy to dig up information.
Moreover, Bai Man’s original intent, it seed, was to bully Xu Chaomu, thinking she was alone in Jin City.
But she didn’t expect to be outmaneuvered by Xu Chaomu.
Xu Chaomu had just ntioned that Bai Man even knew she was carrying a son, and that soone had tampered with her milk.
Xu Chaomu remarked with a sigh that this woman must have been watching Shen Chi closely for five years, how terrifying.
Xiao Mo shook his head, this silly girl.
Her child was gone because of the machinations of Bai Man. How could Bai Man not know, being behind a trap that had been ticulously laid out for an entire year, waiting for her to fall into it.
An engagent party, a boyfriend, all were smoke screens erected by Bai Man.
For so many years, she had never given up on Shen Chi.
After all, once believing she was Shen Chi’s childhood sweetheart, even nearly married to Shen Chi, how could she give up easily?
The night deepened, and the corridor was very, very quiet.
Holding his breath, Xiao Mo could even hear Xu Chaomu’s heartbeat, steady and even.
“Shen Chi… Shen Chi…”
And at that mont, Xu Chaomu murmured softly, her lips moving.
Xiao Mo’s heart paused, and he lowered his head.
It turned out Xu Chaomu was talking in her sleep, she was probably… dreaming of Shen Chi again.
