Chapter 1204: Chapter 1204: Someone’s Genes Are Too Powerful

As he said these things, he distinctly felt Xu Chaomu’s complexion change bit by bit.

In her eyes was boundless surprise, but upon hearing about how Xiaobao was nearly strangled to death by someone, her heart panicked, and she subconsciously hugged Xiaobao tightly, her eyes glistening with tears.

Her head rested against Xiaobao’s forehead, her lips tightly pursed.

Her baby had suffered…

“Chaomu, did you… understand me?” Xiao Mo asked after finishing.

Xu Chaomu nodded, her gaze lowered briefly towards Xiaobao.

The little guy was blissfully unaware, not knowing what had transpired; he just played by himself, at times looking at Xu Chaomu, at times looking at the uncle in the video.

“If Xiaobao hadn’t been saved, I think I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life,” Xiao Mo said.

“Xiao Mo, thank you, thank you for bringing Xiaobao to me,” Xu Chaomu’s eyes were brimming with tears.

She stroked Xiaobao’s head and held him tightly.

At that moment, there was a feeling of emerging from darkness into sudden light; her baby was actually still alive, and moreover, held tight in her embrace–how miraculous.

Her heart was full of excitement, anxiety, and joy!

She was so happy, incredibly happy!

This was her biological son, not adopted; this was the baby she had carried painstakingly for seven months, the same baby she had thought of night after night!

“Thank me for what? This is what I should do. However, I never told you–today happens to be Xiaobao’s birthday, so I wanted to give you a surprise.”

“Mmm…,” Xu Chaomu nodded again and again, her eyes moist with tears. It was indeed such a surprise, “I am so happy.”

“I can tell you’re really happy; just don’t get so excited that you can’t sleep tonight.”

“How could I possibly sleep?” Xu Chaomu laughed, “Xiao Mo, it’s really such a wonderful surprise, I never dared to hope that my baby was still alive…”

“This secret, only the two of us know, of course, and also that missing Bai Man,” Xiao Mo said with a smile.

“Xiao Mo, according to what you’re saying, the person who framed me into delivering prematurely was Bai Man, right?”

“Yep, but she has now met with the fate she deserves. As for why she only wanted to induce premature birth rather than kill your son, I really have no idea.”

Xu Chaomu hadn’t yet come back to her senses; now, she was so excited that she didn’t want to think about anything, just wanted to hug Xiaobao tightly.

She was too excited, her face radiant with joy!

Unable to help herself, she kissed Xiaobao twice more.

Xiaobao was astonished. What was with mom today? Why was she kissing him so much? Was it because Xiaobao had become more handsome…

“Xiao Mo, thank you, thank you,” Xu Chaomu said joyfully.

“No need to thank me. Your Xiaobao is quite promising. At the orphanage, someone tried to give him medicine, and he refused to eat it. If he did, he’d throw it up,” Xiao Mo recalled with a laugh.

“Really? What medicine?” Xu Chaomu asked, visibly nervous.

“Some medicine that was harmful to the child’s intelligence, but Xiaobao only took a few pills.”

“Ah? Will Xiaobao be okay?”

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. Look at Xiaobao, how smart he is.”

“No wonder he first learned to say ‘Daddy’; it turns out he wasn’t using his smarts…” Xu Chaomu said, making a face.

“Huh? The first word he learned was ‘Daddy’–was he calling someone?” Xiao Mo laughed loudly, intrigued by this development.

“Mmm,” Xu Chaomu responded, pouting.

“Is that someone very happy?”

“Mmm.”

“I knew it.” Xiao Mo laughed, “But don’t let him get too smug. Now I’ve told you the secret; whether or not you tell him, that’s your business.”

Xu Chaomu fell silent. Should she tell Shen Chi about this? She didn’t want to…

“I think…” Xiao Mo touched his chin, “it depends on his sincerity.”

“What sincerity? What sincerity does he have?” Xu Chaomu said indifferently, “It’s not just a matter of sincerity. I don’t want to go back to the Shen Family anymore.”

“I know, he really messed up in some ways, but… Xiaobao should be his son, right?”

“Xiaobao is not his son.” Xu Chaomu said irritably, “Xiaobao has nothing to do with him, not a single dime.”

“Alright, alright, whatever you say is right.” Xiao Mo laughed, “Where’s Xiaobao? Xiaobao, give uncle a kiss.”

Xiao Mo waved at Xiaobao through the screen, and Xiaobao saw Xiao Mo waving at him.

“Unc, unc…” Xiaobao got close to the screen, about to give a kiss.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t hold back a laugh, snorting out loud.

Xiaobao really did go ahead and kiss, smacking his lips on Xiao Mo’s cheek.

Xiao Mo was truly satisfied: “Xiaobao is so smart.”

“Mmm… my son, after all.” Xu Chaomu was even prouder.

This was her biological son!

No wonder, she always thought Xiaobao was very smart, and especially handsome, she used to curse his birth parents, wondering how they could abandon such a beautiful baby.

Now, she sweated… not knowing how many times she had scolded herself.

With Xiaobao’s looks so striking, she wasn’t surprised in the slightest; it had to be said, someone’s genes were just too strong.

Now looking carefully, Xiaobao’s double eyelids, high nose bridge, and little dimples were indeed spitting images of a certain someone.

“Xiaobao, do you miss uncle? When uncle comes back to the country, do you want me to bring you some tasty treats?” Xiao Mo teased him.

“Xiaobao, say you miss…” Xu Chaomu coached him.

“Miss…” the little guy said in a milky voice.

Hearing this, Xiao Mo was even happier: “I really want to hug him.”

“Wait till you’re back in the country.” Xu Chaomu smiled, “Speaking of which, when are you coming back?”

“Mmm… I don’t know yet, I’m already used to it here.”

“Last time I heard from someone, the current chief secretary is named Ruan Hang; he really played a small trick on you, directly demoting you?”

“Not exactly, more like a covert demotion.” Xiao Mo smiled, “At least they gave me a vice president position.”

“Childish!” Xu Chaomu scoffed.

“That person can sometimes be quite childish, don’t take it to heart,” Xiao Mo laughed, “that’s just his temperament and character, it’s probably hard for him to change.”

“Don’t mention him.” Xu Chaomu pouted.

Today she was in a good mood, which was why she had talked a bit more with Xiao Mo about Shen Chi, but if she were in a bad mood, she would really want to slap Shen Chi dead.

Now, her son was back in her arms, the biggest surprise ever!

“Chaomu, do you feel a bit better now? It’s been a year, I know it hasn’t been easy for you, I’m also to blame for only telling you about this today.”

“You’re not to blame because with this regained happiness, I’ll cherish my baby even more,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Chaomu, you’ve become more mature than before.”

“Is that so? No, I’m very childish.”

Xiao Mo smiled. This Xu Chaomu was the one he most wanted to see, cheerful and optimistic, always with a smile.

It seemed, from the very first time he saw her, she should have been like this.

He hoped she would always be happy, no matter who she ended up with in the future.
