If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 319: Your Husband is Really Gentle

Translator: 549690339

“Lulu, drink some milk, eat slowly, don’t choke!” Xu Chaomu handed a carton of milk to the little guy.

“Hmm!” The little one stretched out his hand to receive it.

He ate breakfast very obediently, and Xu Chaomu’s heart melted watching him.

Especially when his long, dark eyelashes fluttered, the more she looked, the happier she became.

The sunlight shone on the little fellow, making his little face blush like a red apple.

The warmth in Xu Chaomu’s heart also rose bit by bit. Nie Chenglang was right, ‘if your heart is toward the sun, there is no need for sadness.’

Nie Chenglang gently touched the little guy’s head and tenderly asked, “Where are your mom and dad?”

The little fellow paused, pouted his lips and said, “My dad is at work. He had surgery to do early in the morning, very busy, very busy. My mom is waiting for him outside the surgery room. They just left me outside to play by myself.”

Right after the little one finished speaking, a man and a woman walked over.

Both the man and the woman were tall, with the man wearing a white lab coat and having the typical look of an Englishman. The woman, on the other hand, was in high spirits, dressed in a blue coat and exuded style.

When the little fellow saw these two people coming, he turned his back, sticking his butt up high.

Humph, not talking to them.

Xu Chaomu immediately understood, these might be Lulu’s parents!

The woman, upon seeing Lulu having breakfast, came over and smiled at Nie Chenglang and Xu Chaomu.

She sat down beside the little guy: “Lulu, having breakfast? Are you having fun? Is the snowman ready?”

The little fellow just wouldn’t acknowledge her, burying his head and continuously munching on his pizza.

“Still angry at daddy? Daddy’s surgery is done. He’s come out to play with you, and mommy will accompany you too.”

“Liar! You’re all liars! You won’t play for even five minutes before daddy gets called away to surgery again! Cheaters, you’re all cheaters! I don’t believe you anymore! Go away.”

The little fellow was particularly angry and ignored them.

The woman helplessly shrugged her shoulders: “Lulu, daddy has turned off his phone this time, he won’t be called away again. Do you want to build a snowman or go skiing? Daddy and mommy will take you.”

“I’m not going with you, I want to play with sister and brother.” The little guy refused to agree.

Nie Chenglang tried to persuade him: “Lulu, your dad works so hard for the family. Think about it, where does the money for your breakfast every day come from? Where does the money for your clothes come from? Besides, your dad’s job is very noble, saving lives. Just think, each time your dad operates, he might save a person’s life, which is so great.”

Only then did the little fellow keep quiet, nibbling on the pizza.

“Lulu, don’t you think what brother is saying is right?” Nie Chenglang said.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but give Nie Chenglang a thumbs-up, not expecting that he really knew how to coax kids.

The little fellow seemed to be persuaded, but still pouted.

Nie Chenglang continued to convince him: “Look, your dad has come over as soon as he had time, which shows he always keeps you in mind. But performing surgeries is his job, and it’s also about a patient’s life. So, you need to understand your dad. Now, he has time, and he has come to play with you voluntarily, so why not go and have fun with dad and mom, okay?”

The little guy was finally convinced and nodded his head.

The little fellow’s dad came over and picked him up from the chair: “Daddy will accompany you all day today.”

“Mommy will too,” the woman said.

Only then did the little fellow burst into laughter.

The woman walked up to Nie Chenglang and Xu Chaomu and smiled slightly: “Thank you for taking care of Lulu and even buying him breakfast. I really appreciate it. Sorry to have bothered you.”

Nie Chenglang laughed: “It’s okay, it’s a kind of fate that we get along so well with Lulu.”

The woman gave Nie Chenglang a thumbs-up, then smiled at Xu Chaomu: “Your husband is really gentle.”

Err… Xu Chaomu was at a loss for a response.

Husband?

It was Nie Chenglang who explained: “I’m not her husband. We’re just ordinary friends.”

“Oh, oh,” the woman apologized with a smile, “I thought you two matched so well, I assumed you were a couple.”

Nie Chenglang didn’t want Xu Chaomu to feel awkward and laughed: “I’m an older man, and she is much younger than me.”

“Haha, you’re joking.”

Just then, Lulu’s dad picked Lulu up, carrying him on his shoulders.

Lulu probably hadn’t felt like this in a long time, and he was especially overjoyed, holding his slice of pizza high!

“Oh oh oh, going out to play, dad is taking me out to play, I’m going skiing!”

The little guy was extremely excited, almost jumping on the man’s shoulders.

Although the man wasn’t very talkative, his love for his son was not diminished in the slightest.

Seeing his son so happy made him feel much more at ease.

The woman waved at them and followed the father and son away.

In the sunlight, in the snowy ground, a family of three happily left.

Seeing this, Xu Chaomu felt envious. As a child, her biggest dream was to sit on her father’s shoulders, laughing and frolicking.

Now that she was older, such a thought wouldn’t occur to her, but in the future, she definitely wanted her own children to be happy.

“Still watching? Have breakfast, or it’ll get cold.”

Nie Chenglang dipped a piece of bread in strawberry jam and handed it to her.

Xu Chaomu was still in a daze when Nie Chenglang laughed: “Do I need to feed you? Hmm?”

Xu Chaomu came back to her senses and rolled her eyes, “Stop being a tease.”

“Eat up, and after you’re full, I’ll take you out for a walk.”

Nie Chenglang also took a piece of bread and sat on the bench, eating and watching everything in the snowy field.

In the snowy field, children were playing with snow, and the ground was covered in a series of messy footprints.

All around were sounds of laughter and the children’s bell-like shouts.

“Chenglang, I want to sleep, I’ll go to sleep for a while after I’m full. You don’t know, I haven’t slept so peacefully for a long time.”

Xu Chaomu nibbled on the bread, with happiness written all over her face.

For the past half a year, she felt that just seeing the sun the next day was a luxury.

Every night she struggled to sleep, her biggest worry was whether she would wake up the next day.

If she did wake up, she worried about how she would manage her three meals…

Fortunately, she was grateful to have met Nie Chenglang.

In a foreign land, a long-awaited reunion.

Hearing Xu Chaomu’s words, Nie Chenglang felt a dull pain in his chest.

He wondered what she had gone through this past half year to say such things.

“Okay… then you have a good rest, and when you wake up, it’s not too late to go out and play,” Nie Chenglang said.

He looked at the girl with sympathy, this innocent and beautiful girl who clearly deserved to be treated well.

“Okay, but you’re not allowed to leave. After I’ve rested, wherever I want to go, you have to take me,” she said.

“Okay.”

“However, if you still have class, then you should go ahead. I’m not that unreasonable,” said Xu Chaomu, even though she didn’t want him to leave.

Nie Chenglang saw through her thoughts at a glance: “I don’t have class.”
