If You Could Hear My Heart

Actually, she really wanted to ask, what exactly did Bai Man eat to grow up like this.

But then she remembered, Yu Weiwei, the expert, had told her that a man’s hand was the best breast enhancer.

Thus, she deduced, Shen Chi probably touched her a lot.

She was impressed by her own cleverness, but her face immediately became unhappy. That shameless Shen Chi probably hugged Bai Man countless times in private.

Isn’t it said that Shen Chi is Bai Man’s sugar daddy? As for secret rules, she understood them perfectly.

However, what did all this have to do with her, and what was there for her not to be happy about?

Xu Chaomu pursed her lips and looked away. She was about to open the car door when Bai Man grabbed her hand, “Chaomu, I have something to tell you.”

With no other choice, Xu Chaomu turned back.

“What?” she asked succinctly, her tone bland.

It wasn’t that she was aloof, but that she had just had a tooth pulled and it hurt to even say a word.

If only she could master Shen Chi’s ability to remain unflustered in any situation.

“Chaomu, look into my eyes and tell me the truth. Do you like your fourth brother?” Bai Man’s graceful face held a gentle smile, like a white rose.

Her entire demeanor was that of a sophisticated lady, exuding an air of elegance.

What’s there to look at? It’s just colored contact lenses, isn’t it?

Xu Chaomu glared at her and smiled too, “I do like him. At the Shen family, I like Fourth Brother the most, followed by Third Brother, then Butler Ling, then Uncle Shen. Wait… no, that’s wrong. I love Dabai the most, followed by Fourth

Brother, then Third Brother, then…”

A flash of impatience swept through Bai Man’s eyes as she interrupted Xu Chaomu, “I’m talking about the kind of ‘liking’ that a woman feels towards a man.”

Xu Chaomu grimaced in pain, having managed to say so much, only to be cut off by Bai Man.

“I’m a woman, and Fourth Brother is a man. There’s nothing wrong with that!”

Dammit, Bai Man just wanted to know if she had feelings for Shen Chi. She doesn’t trust her own feelings? And to think she’s considered the most beautiful woman in C City.

If Shen Chi really married her, Xu Chaomu wouldn’t cling on.

A second-hand man? She wasn’t interested!

“Just spit it out, Chaomu. Do you want to marry your fourth brother?” Bai Man made her intentions clear.

Xu Chaomu answered seriously, “I have a boyfriend. My boyfriend is handsomer than Fourth Brother, younger than Fourth Brother, more youthful than Fourth Brother, more spirited than Fourth Brother, gentler than Fourth

Brother, more considerate than Fourth Brother…”

Xu Chaomu discovered for the first time that she knew so many adjectives.

Bai Man still looked skeptical, not believing a word Xu Chaomu said.

“Miss Bai, you don’t want to marry my Fourth Brother anymore, do you? How pitiful he would be, unwanted by anyone,” Xu Chaomu said, seizing the opportunity to disparage Shen Chi.

Just that morning in the hospital, he’d picked on her because she couldn’t speak.

How the tables have turned!

“I’m his fiancée, I can’t like him enough, let alone not want to marry him. Marrying your fourth brother would be the happiest thing in my life,” Bai Man didn’t understand what Xu Chaomu was trying to express.

Shen Chi unwanted? Which woman in C City wouldn’t sharpen her head just to climb into Shen Chi’s bed! If that wasn’t the case, she wouldn’t be so defensive even against Xu Chaomu.

“Well, you’d better think carefully, I heard…” Xu Chaomu deliberately lowered her voice, moving closer to Bai Man.

“What?” Bai Man frowned, what had she heard? She looked intrigued.

Xu Chaomu continued in a hushed tone, “I heard that Fourth Brother is frigid, the so-called impotent.”

Shameless Xu Chaomu; Bai Man’s face instantly flushed.

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Bai Man had seen it all, but she never expected Xu Chaomu to be more open than herself.

Was this girl really eighteen? Where had she learned such things…

“Chaomu, don’t talk nonsense. From now on, speak less of these things. What do you, a girl, understand!” Bai Man said coldly.

“Miss Bai, I’m considering your future happiness. You wouldn’t want your ‘happiness’ to be insecure, right? Isn’t it true? It’s a secret known to the Shen family, but no one dares to talk about it. You know, Fourth Brother has a bad temper, and if it gets out, it would be terrible,” Xu Chaomu bluffed with a serious face.

If Shen Chi knew she was gossiping, he would probably skin her alive.

Bai Man’s eyes shifted as she put on a bashfully smiling face, not blaming Xu Chaomu for her shamelessness.

“Chaomu, come here…” She beckoned Xu Chaomu closer to her.

With a smile on her face and allure in her seductive eyes, Bai Man looked enchantingly charming. Her slightly quivering eyelashes added to her allure.

Xu Chaomu blinked her eyes.

Bai Man whispered in her ear, “Chaomu, rumors can’t be trusted. Your fourth brother not only has no such issues but is also… very impressive. Just the night before last, he took me many times; I don’t know where he gets the energy…”

The tone of Bai Man’s voice was melodic, yet to Xu Chaomu, it was exceedingly grating.

A sliver of desolation appeared in her wide eyes but was quickly concealed by Xu Chaomu.

“Miss Bai, if he can’t, then he just can’t. Stop deceiving yourself!” Xu Chaomu taunted deliberately.

In her heart, knots of distress and a knife-twisting pain.

Over the years, she’d caused him trouble on more than one occasion, like that time in the bathroom when she had been so bold, yet he never showed the slightest desire towards her. He wouldn’t even kiss her.

Yu Weiwei was right, either the woman is too ugly, or he doesn’t love her.

With that thought, Xu Chaomu picked up her medicine, opened the car door, and ran upstairs without stopping for a second.

Yet, she walked confidently, head held high and chest out.

Bai Man fiddled with the gold bracelet on her wrist, pondering Xu Chaomu’s words—what did they mean?

Could Shen Chi really be impotent?

She began to feel uncertain. After all, she was considered the top beauty in C City; she’d subtly flirted with Shen Chi several times, but he never laid a hand on her.

What man could remain immune to temptation?

Bai Man fell into deep confusion.

Xu Chaomu was also feeling miserable, Bai Man’s words making her entire being uncomfortable.

Shen Chi was such a hypocrite, cold and domineering in public, yet in private, a beast—no, worse than a beast.

Bai Man had said that just two nights ago, he’d taken her many times…

Pah, pah, pah!

What a hypocrite! Worse than a beast!

While she deeply despised him, part of Xu Chaomu felt strangely disappointed.

She lowered her head and supported her cheek as she stared at the books on the table, her vision blurring.

She scribbled aimlessly on the paper, the pencil’s black lines slowly filling the white page. She wrote several “Shen Chi”s, then without fail crossed out each one with a big “X”.

Repeatedly doing this until her hand ached, she realized how childish she was being. Shen Chi and Bai Man were bound to get married eventually.

Rather than fretting here, she might as well go and find a young man to date..
