If You Could Hear My Heart

“So you’re saying I’m not pure?” Xu Chaomu rebutted.

“Just a tiny little bit.”

“Yu Weiwei, I’m gonna kill you!” Xu Chaomu pretended to grab a book to smash her with.

“Madame Xu, spare me, I dare not slander you to your face anymore, I’ll only do it behind your back from now on.”

“A bitch is always melodramatic,” Xu Chaomu huffed coldly.

Xu Chaomu continued to memorize her text; “Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion” was really tough to remember.

While memorizing, her eyes suddenly lit up as if a lightbulb was connected to a power source—”ding” went her brain, and in that moment, everything became clear.

She elbowed Yu Weiwei and lowered her voice, “Hey, is this essential oil really that effective?”

“Absolutely, for different types of people you can increase the dosage for an even better effect. For you, I reckon two drops will suffice. Then light a small candle, and don’t mention how romantic that will be. Tell me, under such an atmosphere, which man could remain unmoved? When that time comes, hehehehe…”

“Don’t drag me into everything, my brother is getting married.”

“Oh? You’re buying it for your brother? Wow, such a thoughtful sister. Go buy it, I tell you, once they use this essential oil, if there aren’t seven bouts in one night, I, Yu Weiwei… I, Yu Weiwei, will give you a dollar!”

Yu Weiwei patted her chest, earnest in manner but not in words.

“How am I supposed to verify whether there are seven times in one night?” Xu Chaomu started to be as unserious.

After all, she and Yu Weiwei were evenly matched, a pervert versus a gangster.

When two lecherous women team up, their power is boundless.

“Come on, let me give you a bit of common knowledge. For a man, the average time for each round is about twenty minutes, let’s say your brother is impressive and takes half an hour. Including foreplay and rest time, if it’s seven times in one night, it will pretty much take the whole night. You could just secretly listen in, right?”

“For the sake of one dollar, do you think I would stoop that low?” Xu Chaomu said with a face full of black lines.

Yu Weiwei pondered for a moment, shook her head earnestly, “Not worth it.” “There, it’s settled,” Xu Chaomu twitched the corner of her mouth.

If she dared to eavesdrop, Shen Chi would surely flay her skin, draw her tendons, and break her legs.

“Your brother is getting married, right? Is the sister-in-law the one who keeps penguins like you mentioned last time?”

“Pretty much.”

“Oh,” Yu Weiwei said with a meaningful tone, “Let me offer you a package deal. You buy some Ylang Ylang Essential Oil and a set of sexy lingerie, give the essential oil to your brother, and the lingerie to your sister-in-law, I guarantee they will absolutely adore you. Oh la la, oh lei lei.”

“No shame,” Xu Chaomu gave her a disdainful look.

“As a friend, I’ve already offered you a solution. Ah, I’m such a good friend, ah, I’m touched to death by myself.”

Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched. Could she say she didn’t know Yu Weiwei?

However… the method she suggested really did seem pretty good.

She pondered it all morning and decided to follow Yu Weiwei’s advice.

But would Shen Chi end up killing her?

Definitely not, he would surely be coy, refusing with his words but secretly pleased.

Men are just like that.

So, taking advantage of the lunch break, she sneaked off to the mall.

After visiting several stores, she finally managed to buy it. One bottle seemed too little, so she bought five! It cost her a lot of pocket money!

She didn’t dare buy the lingerie, since even if she had, she wouldn’t have dared to give it.

However, just as she was sneakily carrying the essential oils out of the mall, bad luck struck, and damn, she saw Shen Chi!

Bai Man was clinging to his arm, all smiles and gentle charm. Shen Chi, however, remained expressionless as usual, giving off his standard icy vibe as if everyone owed him money.

Xu Chaomu quickly hid away, like a rabbit spotting a wolf.

She sidled into a clothing store and shielded herself with layers upon layers of clothes.

Her heart thumped wildly!

Taking a deep breath, Xu Chaomu cautiously parted a long dress to sneak a peek.

She just happened to see Bai Man leading Shen Chi into a famous jewelry store. From the back, Bai Man looked soft and tender, her red dress highlighting her slender figure as she swayed gracefully.

As for Shen Chi, he cut a straight and dignified profile, his elegant black tailored suit accentuating the lines of his back.

One hand in his trouser pocket, the other taken by Bai Man, their steps were leisurely yet resolute.

The two of them were both tall, but even with high heels, Bai Man was still much shorter than Shen Chi.

This man had always been a natural talent, the center of attention wherever he went.

As they leaned over to pick out jewelry, a crowd gathered, stealing glances and murmuring among themselves.

Too bad Xu Chaomu didn’t have a camera, otherwise she really would have liked to snap a photo.

Such a harmonious scene, beautiful as a painting. A talented man and a beautiful woman, the embodiment of loving bliss.

Xu Chaomu too stared fixedly at his back, thinking it was for the best, at least he was getting married to the person he liked and would be very happy.

She would not come between them.

Bai Man and Shen Chi were choosing rings. The sales associate placed many on the glass counter for Bai Man to select from.

“Shen Chi, do you think this one looks good? This one has a rose pattern, and the one I just tried on was heart-shaped,” Bai Man raised her hand against the light.

Under the light, the diamond ring glittered brilliantly, its luster like the sun, striking and clear.

The surrounding beauty faded in comparison, with the diamond ring becoming the focus of all eyes.

Turning her head, Bai Man admired the diamond ring on her ring finger, her face glowing with happiness.

“Yeah, it’s nice,” Shen Chi glanced at it and mumbled in response.

The sales associate smiled cordially, “Miss has great taste. This rose diamond ring is a newly released design, and the diamonds are pink diamonds from Sri Lanka, just arrived from France this morning. Moreover, this ring model can also be customized with text. Miss, Sir, there is a male version available for this ring as well.”

With that, the sales associate carefully put on gloves and took out the male version of the ring.

“This ring is part of a set, symbolizing being in pairs, good things coming in twos, specially designed for couples and spouses,” the sales associate explained with a smile.

Shen Chi, with his gaze as inscrutable as ever, like the dark and fathomless waters of a deep pool, his onyx-like eyes also reflecting a profound sheen.

“This one is good, Shen Chi, try this one on, let’s wear them together and see how it looks.’

Bai Man took the male ring out.

The male ring was more simplistic, not too flashy, exuding a sense of solemnity.

Bai Man personally slipped the ring onto Shen Chi’s finger and admired it from different angles.

“It’s perfect, just as if it were made for us,” Bai Man exclaimed with admiration.

After she said that, she placed her slender hand over Shen Chi’s larger one, her smile as elegant as a blooming rose.

Xu Chaomu felt a pang of sourness watching them. Damn it, it’s like fate was against her, she just went out to buy something and stumbled upon a couple flaunting their love.

She hid from them, fearful of being noticed..
