If You Could Hear My Heart

She saw that his fists were clenched, but she tilted her little face upwards and showed not the slightest bit of shame.

She stared straight at him and at a certain part of his body. She was curious, after going this far, could this man still keep himself under control?

Could it be that he was impotent?

This question, she needed to consult the more knowledgeable Yu Weiwei.

“You shameless girl, so young and already without a shred of decency!” Shen Chi stabbed another verbal knife into Xu Chaomu.

Anger, annoyance, explosion!

“You were the one to lose your shame first!” Xu Chaomu retorted with a flushed face.

She had already told him to leave, and yet he insisted on drying her hair. Who was more shameless?

“Behave yourself!” Shen Chi snorted coldly, his face tensing up tightly. His icy gaze pierced through her, and with a glance, he stormed out of the room!

Xu Chaomu didn’t know if this counted as her victory. But still, she hadn’t managed to kiss Shen Chi!

When Shen Chi walked out of Xu Chaomu’s room, Shen Shihan just happened to pass by downstairs. Looking up, he coincidentally caught sight of Shen Chi with an unpleased expression and his clothes in complete disarray, not a single button remaining on his shirt.

Thinking like a normal person, one would fear that Shen Chi had forced himself on Xu Chaomu.

Shen Shihan was a normal person, and he thought the same.

“Ahem.” Shen Shihan coughed lightly, lowered his head, and deliberately walked around the situation.

Shen Chi shot two icy glares, colliding with Shen Shihan’s gaze. He gave Shen Shihan a cold glance and silently headed toward his own room.

Shen Shihan picked up some things and also left the living room.

As soon as Shen Chi returned to his room, he headed straight for the bathroom to take a shower, his second cold shower in several days!

If this continued, he would surely be driven to madness!

He punched the damp bathroom wall, Xu Chaomu, he really wanted to crush and knead her into shape! So young and yet so shameless!

The look she had given him just now was fiery, full of desire and intoxication.

Did she still think of herself as that ten-year-old girl and assume that all this was just harmless joking?

The more Shen Chi thought about it, the angrier he got. After taking a cold shower for over an hour, he finally managed to calm himself down.

When he left the bathroom, he saw that there were many missed calls on his phone. There were calls from his father Shen Cexian, from Li Beiting, and from… Bai Man.

He stared at the screen for a long time, just about to throw his phone down, when Li Beiting’s call came through.

“Shen Chi, Shen Chi, it looks like you’re too happy to think of home. The hall is a mess, and you just leave without a word. I called you so many times and you didn’t pick up.”

“Aren’t you there to handle it?” Shen Chi responded indifferently.

“Some things I can handle, some things I really can’t. When Bai Man came looking for you, she kept asking where you were, what was I supposed to tell

“Li Beiting, since when do you not know how to lie?”

“…” Li Beiting’s mouth twitched, “I’m talking serious business here.”

“So am I.”

“Fine, you win.” Li Beiting conceded, “What do you plan to do about Zheng Lin? She is Bai Man’s close cousin, you should be more aware of their relationship than I am.”

“Using the other person’s method to deal with them.”

“Bai Man didn’t call to plead for mercy? If the beauty asks you a favor, your heart would melt, wouldn’t it!” Li Beiting said with a half-mocking tone.

“Li Beiting, you talk too much!” Shen Chi’s voice grew stern.

“Okay okay okay, I won’t say anymore. How’s Chaomu? Is she okay? Was she scared?”

Shen Chi sneered, “Scared? You are underestimating Xu Chaomu too much.”

Just thinking about the things Xu Chaomu had done in the bathroom that night made Shen Chi’s anger flare up again!

“But I have to say, Shen Chi, you overreacted a bit tonight. It’s good that Xu Chaomu is just a little girl, otherwise, what would Bai Man think?” Li Beiting was also speaking his mind.

Shen Chi had publicly stood up for Xu Chaomu and then left with her in his arms under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Any woman would probably feel uncomfortable in her heart!

Thankfully, Xu Chaomu was just a little sister Shen Chi had watched grow up.

“She couldn’t possibly be jealous of Xu Chaomu, could she?” Shen Chi glanced lazily out of the window.

“Of course not, Bai Man isn’t that kind of unreasonable woman,” Beiting said.

“Li Beiting, I’m warning you about something, ” Shen Chi suddenly changed his tone, becoming cold and serious.

He was thinking about Xu Chaomu’s bottle of breast enhancement essential oil and those messy magazines that often appeared in her school bag. Of course, what irritated him the most was what had happened tonight.

“Uh? What’s the matter?” Beiting couldn’t recall when he had ever offended Shen Chi.

“Keep an eye on your Yu Weiwei and don’t let her lead Xu Chaomu astray!” Shen Chi’s tone was uncompromisingly stern.

He knew Yu Weiwei was no pushover either, quite a match for Xu Chaomu. When the two of them were together, there was no telling what they might get up to.

‘ Beiting’s mouth twitched again, “How come you’re not saying that it’s your

Xu Chaomu who’s corrupting Weiwei?”

“I’ve warned you. It’s up to you to handle it!” Shen Chi hung up the phone with a cold face.

“Hello?” Li Beiting was left talking to the sky in disbelief.

Shen Chi threw the phone on the table, not bothering to return any more calls.

As for Xu Chaomu, she acted like nothing had happened, her moods coming and going quickly.

What was there to hold against Shen Chi? If she were to take things to heart, she would have cried herself to death several times over the last eight years. It was her strong mental fortitude that saved her.

She touched the back of her head, still feeling a bit sore, so she changed the gauze herself.

After changing the gauze, she started picking out clothes from the wardrobe, but she couldn’t find a single piece that satisfied her.

Shen Chi used to take her to the mall to buy clothes, or he would simply purchase them and bring them back for her.

She had never been fussy before, but now she realized that the clothes Shen Chi bought for her were all so plain, the colors not vibrant enough, and the cuts too conservative.

How could she go out on a date in these clothes!

Xu Chaomu was highly dissatisfied.

The only pretty item was that extremely short skirt, which she had bought secretly without Shen Chi knowing, and she would have to wear it secretly tomorrow too.

It was originally meant to be worn for Shen Chi to see, but he had shown complete disregard.

No wonder, since from the evening’s ball, it was evident that the women around him were all beautiful and sexy; he had seen every type of woman.

Xu Chaomu spent a while picking out clothes and read Lou Yanli’s love letters over and over.

She especially liked that line he wrote: Thinking of you is like the full moon, day after day, dusk after dusk.

Although Xu Chaomu was an academically poor student, she knew the line “Thinking of you is like the full moon” came from “Thinking of my lord is like the full moon, night after night diminishing its brilliant glow.”

As for “day after day, dusk after dusk,” there had once been someone who told her that her name Xu Chaomu meant the “Xu” from “promise” and the “Chaomu” from “morning and evening.”

Actually, Xu Chaomu felt that at least going on a date with Lou Yanli would make her more cultured.

Indeed, she was still someone who earnestly sought knowledge; her own eagerness to learn moved her.

The next day, Xu Chaomu dallied in her room trying on clothes. She stood secretly on the balcony and, seeing Shen Chi’s car leave the villa, she gleefully tried on the super short skirt in front of the mirror, strutting back and forth..
