If You Could Hear My Heart

This was just the beginning; she only gave Xu Chaomu a warning.

Shen Chi had been in South Africa for over a month, and she had plenty of time to deal with her.

She knew Shen Chi had people watching Xu Chaomu, but she refused to believe that she couldn’t handle them with her wealth and capabilities.

Once Bai Man left, Xu Chaomu continued to pack her clothes in a disheartened manner.

But it was no big deal, once she went overseas, there would be plenty of good men. She heard that, oh, foreign men are tall and handsome!

Yu Weiwei often insinuated in her ear, “Chaomu, do you know, foreign men have super great physiques! And… and… hehehe, they are particularly impressive in that ‘aspect’, you know what I mean!”

Having said that, Yu Weiwei herself blushed and covered her face.

Of course, Xu Chaomu understood; she had grown up immersing herself in the Little Forbidden Book.

Hmph, once she went overseas, she’d find a tall and handsome man with a great physique, and then, she’d have a bunch of Xiaobaos.

It’s just pregnancy, what’s so great about that, Bai Man?

As she fantasized while packing, someone knocked on her door again.

“Who is it?” Xu Chaomu was on alert this time; if it was Bai Man, she wouldn’t open the door.

“It’s me, Miss Xu, are you asleep yet?”

“Not yet.” Xu Chaomu walked over.

“Miss Xu, the Fourth Master has called for you, please come downstairs to take it.”

“Me? Isn’t it the Fourth Sister-in-law?”

“It’s you, I didn’t hear wrong.”

“How did he know I’m back at the Shen Family?” Xu Chaomu wondered.

“Oh, sorry, when the Fourth Master called, I accidentally let it slip, so he asked you, Miss Xu, to answer the phone. He wants to speak with you.”

The butler told another lie; she had actually called Shen Chi herself.

Reluctantly, Xu Chaomu pouted, “Butler, just tell him I’m asleep.”

“Miss Xu, please take the call. The Fourth Master is waiting, I really can’t explain myself if you don’t!”

In the end, Xu Chaomu was still kindhearted. As she heard the butler say so, she felt embarrassed to refuse any further.

She went downstairs and picked up the phone.

“Who is it? Calling me so late, disturbing my sweet dreams.” She held the phone and snorted coldly.

At this moment, Shen Chi was still on the ferry. He stood on the deck, quietly enjoying the sea breeze and the tumultuous sound of the waves.

In the past few days, he was almost sleepless, seeing Xu Chaomu’s image every time he opened or closed his eyes.

Now, hearing her voice, he finally smiled, “Little rascal, guess who I am.”

With Shen Chi’s deep and powerful voice, how could Xu Chaomu not recognize him? She pretended to ponder for a while and shook her head helplessly, “I can’t tell; with such an unpleasant voice, how would I know who it is.”

“How did the midterm exams go?”

“Who are you? You still haven’t told me who you are. If you don’t say, I’m going to hang up now.”

“I’m your husband!” Shen Chi said, annoyed.

Xu Chaomu held her forehead. Did he have to be so blunt?

In the past, when Xu Chaomu joked with Shen Chi, she also used to say, “Fourth Brother, if no one wants me in the future, just take me in. I’d be your wife and warm your bed for you.”

At that time, Shen Chi looked at her in disgust, “With that skinny body of yours, you think you can warm the bed?”

“Yes, yes, I guarantee I can make the bed warm and cozy.”

“Warming the bed, a task of physical endurance, is usually a man’s job.”

“Oh, then you can do it.”

Back then, Xu Chaomu was slow to respond, and it took her a long time to realize, damn, this man’s thoughts were impure; he was an outright ruffian!

And yet, she had unthinkingly come back with, “Oh, then you can do it.”

“I’m asking you, how did your midterm exams go?” Shen Chi’s voice pulled Xu Chaomu back to reality.

“I’m aiming for second-to-last place.” Xu Chaomu pursed her lips.

“Not bad, pretty good. As long as you don’t get the very last place, I’ll bring you a gift.”

Xu Chaomu’s nose tingled, wanting to smile but unable to: “I don’t want any gifts from you.”

“Not wanting gifts, then what do you want?”

“Right, is the Fourth Sister-in-law home? I’ll call her to take the phone; she misses you a lot.” Xu Chaomu changed the subject.

The more gifts he sent her, the more uneasy she felt. After all, they had no relationship with each other now.

But, she wouldn’t wait for him to come back either…

“Xu Chaomu, you stop right there.” Shen Chi really got angry this time, “Can’t you have a proper conversation with me? Must you always be in a foul mood? Do you know that I miss you?”

“You’re the one who wanted me to answer the phone. Do you think I wanted to?” Xu Chaomu retorted irritably.

Bai Man’s words were still echoing in her mind. Yes, it was he who heartlessly went through with the certification with her. Moreover, he and Bai Man even had a baby on the way.

Recalling Bai Man leaving her room earlier, touching her stomach with a blissful look on her face.

Then, Xu Chaomu involuntarily conjured up an image of them entangled in bed together.

Suddenly, Xu Chaomu wanted to hang up the phone.

“You sure have a temper, did I offend you again?” Shen Chi said in a deep tone.

The sea breeze lifted his clothes as he stood on the deck, listening to the waves slap against the ship.

“I don’t want to talk to you anymore, hanging up.”

“Xu Chaomu, you dare!”

“There’s nothing I wouldn’t dare.” Xu Chaomu decisively hung up the phone and grumbled.

What wouldn’t she dare? Since she was young, she had always loved being contrary to him.

But this time, it wasn’t about being contrary; she truly felt that she was drifting further and further away from him…

Shen Chi got hung up on by Xu Chaomu and was so irate he almost threw his phone into the sea!

Distressed, he rolled up his sleeves and undid a few buttons at his collar. No one had ever dared to hang up on him, Shen Chi, and Xu Chaomu was the first!

The butler, tidying up the living room, saw that Xu Chaomu had only spoken a few words before coming out and hurriedly approached her, “Miss Xu, why didn’t you talk with the Fourth Master for a bit longer?”

“Nothing to talk about.”

The butler’s face was filled with black lines.

In the past at the Shen Family, Xu Chaomu was the one who talked the most and was especially clingy to Shen Chi. Whenever she was with Shen Chi, Xu Chaomu would become a complete chatterbox, unstoppable.

“Butler, may I go into his room?” Xu Chaomu inquired.

“The Fourth Master’s room? Of course, of course, I’ll go get the keys for you.”

“Isn’t his room off-limits to others? Doesn’t he always carry the keys on him?” Xu Chaomu asked, puzzled.

“It’s off-limits to others,” the butler replied with a smile and turned to get the keys.

Xu Chaomu was still confused about what was happening, and on impulse, she asked another question, “Doesn’t the Fourth Sister-in-law have to sleep in his room at night?”

The butler smiled meaningfully, “Miss Xu, if you want to sleep in the Fourth Master’s room, that’s definitely no problem.”

“Who wants to sleep in his room.”

After speaking, Xu Chaomu pouted and went upstairs.

She used to run into his room often, but the result was, many times, as soon as she climbed onto the bedside, a certain person would bluntly say, “Get lost!”

She wouldn’t listen and insisted on climbing up.

When he got annoyed, he would pick her up by the collar and throw her out.

Thinking back, the fact that he didn’t kick her out was already quite polite of him.
