Chapter 1100: Chapter 1100: Biological Son Chapter 1100: Chapter 1100: Biological Son Xiao Mo sighed, of course, she didn’t know the dangers lurking around her, but as soone in the know, he simply couldn’t let her get hurt.
Since he chose to keep Shen Chi in the dark, then it was his duty to protect her.
“I… did I cause you any trouble?” Xu Chaomu felt a little guilty.
“Yes,” Xiao Mo said seriously, “so next ti, don’t co out at tis like this.”
Xu Chaomu lowered her head, “I’m sorry.”
“The tickets are already bought, what more can I say? Just be careful, I’ll have soone pick you up, call anyti.”
“I was wrong… but I feel like it should be fine, I have neither money nor looks…”
“What do you think? If sothing happens, will you still think that way?” Xiao Mo directly interrupted her.
Xiao Mo raised his voice a bit, it was the first ti Xu Chaomu saw him so angry, and she knew she had done sothing wrong. But… it wasn’t her first ti booking a night flight, she used to do that often in Paris.
Xu Chaomu stopped talking, and Xiao Mo also realized he had overreacted. His tone softened, he said faintly, “I’m sorry.”
“I won’t do it again,” Xu Chaomu said with her head bowed.
“Mhm, as long as you know.”
Xiao Mo’s heart was still not at ease; it seed his myriad of worries truly could be influenced bit by bit by her…
Perhaps it was his voice that had indeed been loud just monts ago, and a little too tense, which caused Xiaobao lying on the sofa to start crying.
The little guy first scrunched his eyebrows, then with a “waah,” he burst into tears.
His crying made Xu Chaomu stand up imdiately on the other end of the phone, anxiously asking, “Is that Xiaobao crying?”
“Mhm.” Xiao Mo nodded, quickly patting the little one with his other hand.
The little guy was not comforted by this, crying was crying, and once he started, he couldn’t stop.
The louder the crying grew, the more restless Xu Chaomu paced, “Why is he crying? Is he hungry or awake? Hasn’t he slept yet?”
“He’s worried about you,” Xiao Mo said deliberately.
“…” Xu Chaomu held her forehead.
The little guy just wouldn’t stop crying, no matter how much they tried to soothe him, utterly headstrong.
During the late night, the crying amplified countless tis over, drowning Xiao Mo’s ho in sobs.
Unable to continue the call, Xiao Mo could only say, “Be careful, how long until the flight takes off?”
“Forty minutes.”
“Send a text or call every five minutes.”
“Can we not hang up…?” Xu Chaomu was reluctant to let go, and for so reason, her heart was being tugged at by the little one’s crying.
His cries made her surprisingly sad, tugging at her heartstrings.
Actually, she wanted to co back to Jin City just to see Xiaobao.
Ever since Xiao Mo told her about him, she thought about what Xiaobao looked like every day, even dreaming about him.
This yearning scratched at her heart like a kitten’s paw, scratching and scratching…
Even though he was just an adopted child, she didn’t know where this impulse ca from, but the longing in her heart grew deeper.
“Hang up then. I know you’re coming back to see him. Call when you get to Jin City; I’ll bring him over,” Xiao Mo said.
Xu Chaomu pouted, unable to help but feel that Xiao Mo was impressive, he hadn’t said anything yet, and he had already seen right through her thoughts.
No wonder he was the astute and observant chief secretary, covering all bases.
But she couldn’t suppress the excitent in her heart, she joyfully said, “Really? Can you really bring him to see ?”
“Mhm.”
Xu Chaomu was filled with joy, pacing back and forth excitedly, drawing the constant gaze of a crowd.
“Let’s hang up the phone first,” Xiao Mo added.
“Okay okay, thank you for your hard work, Secretary Xiao. Please pamper Xiaobao a little, don’t let him go hungry, don’t let him catch a cold, don’t…,”
With a “beep,” Xiao Mo hung up the phone proactively.
“…” Xiao Mo held his forehead, wondering if every mother was this naggy. He hadn’t even t the child yet, and didn’t even know if he was her biological son, so why all the chatter?
Oh, but Xu Chaomu was always a chatterbox.
“Hey, Xiao Mo!” Xu Chaomu called out.
She hadn’t even finished her sentence when he hung up on her.
The sound of the little guy’s crying seed to echo in her ears, her heart clenched with a mix of nervousness and excitent.
Would she have a chance to et the little guy as soon as the plane landed?
In the days to follow, she wouldn’t be alone anymore, with a baby to keep her company, things would be much more interesting.
She would be there with him as he grew, teaching him to speak, to recognize words, to read, and maybe even to play the piano…
Xiao Mo put down his phone and patted the little guy who was crying inconsolably.
“Xiaobao, don’t cry, Uncle will take you to see Mommy.”
The little guy wouldn’t listen and kept crying, not behaving at all.
Having no choice, Xiao Mo continued to soothe him, realizing that comforting a child required one hundred percent patience, which was much harder than work.
Complicated work always had a solution, but comforting a child… it seed to rely on luck.
As he continued trying to soothe the child, Xiao Mo beca immune to the cries; if he handed Xiaobao over to Xu Chaomu, would she be able to take care of him?
Xiao Mo was a bit worried, but after all, a child is closer to the mother, and it’s good to develop their bond from a young age.
The little guy’s crying was loud, and after comforting him for a while, Xiao Mo nearly fell asleep.
He dozed off, and the little guy was still crying, his energy seemingly inexhaustible.
He prepared to stay awake all night, and it was a good opportunity to contact the people in Jin City for Xu Chaomu.
Before takeoff, Xu Chaomu called Xiao Mo again.
“Xiao Mo, is the baby still crying? I’m about to board the plane, will I be able to see him soon?”
“He’s still at my place.”
“I want to see him…”
“How about, you co to C City,” Xiao Mo teased.
“Should I sneak over tonight?”
“You really dare.” Xiao Mo held his forehead, “If Shen Chi catches you, it won’t just be about leaving him.”
“Then never mind, I’ll wait for you,” Xu Chaomu pouted.
She knew full well that C City was Shen Chi’s turf; on his territory, she wouldn’t stand a chance of escaping from his grasp.
If she dared to sneak out to see Xiao Mo at night, Shen Chi would definitely break her legs.
After all, there was a saying: Officials may set fires, but common people can’t even light a candle. He could change his female companion every day with no consequences, but if she dared to et another man, he would definitely chop her up.
Thinking it over, she decided to let it be; she had gotten through so many days, so there was no rush for this mont.
“Mm, pack your things and get on the plane. I’ve arranged for soone to pick you up in Jin City; apart from my call, don’t pay attention to anyone else,” Xiao Mo instructed.
That woman Bai Man had been cornered by Shen Chi and him these past few days; he had to keep a closer eye on her.
“Sure, sure, I’m very obedient,” Xu Chaomu nodded repeatedly, “You must take good care of Xiaobao, really take good care of him.”
Xiao Mo also nodded, “Don’t worry, with here, I won’t let him go hungry.”
