If You Could Hear My Heart

His grip on Xu Chaomu’s collar tightened gradually, with an ever deepening chill at the corners of his mouth.

“At first, I would cry, especially the first time, it hurt so much. I almost wanted to die, but I survived. Later, when I had money, I went to university. So, when you ask if I’ve been to bed with more than one man, of course.”

“Xu Chaomu, you!”

Shen Chi’s face was full of rage as he raised his right hand, about to slap her!

But, just like five years ago, the slap hung in the air, never able to land on her face.

He couldn’t bear to hit her, couldn’t bear it.

“You want to hit me?”

Shen Chi’s hand retracted and slowly clenched into a fist.

“Is everything you said true?” Shen Chi’s voice caught in his throat.

“I have no need to lie to you. Besides, it was just for survival, if you look down on me, then don’t look.”

“Mumu…”

He voiced his sorrow, if only he had held onto her a little tighter five years ago, how could she have left…

He didn’t know she had such a tough time abroad, it pained him more than a stab in the heart.

He pulled her into his arms, “Mumu, no matter what you become, no matter whose child this is, I won’t let you leave again.”

“Mr. Shen really is magnanimous, I’m like this, and you still want me?”

Xu Chaomu’s face was filled with disgust, her mouth twitching, wasn’t this disgusting enough for him?

“I don’t mind.” Those four words, deep and powerful, resounded with conviction!

“But I don’t want you,” Xu Chaomu said disdainfully.

She stretched out her hand, “Give me back my phone, I want to go home.”

“Want to go home? I’ll take you out of the hospital, don’t you know, the Butler Cheng also misses you.”

“Shen Chi, stop pretending, I’m not talking about the Shen Family. I will never step into the Shen Family again in my life!”

“Don’t you miss Dabai? Your room is still there…”

“People change their affections, no matter how cute Dabai is, I’ve long lost my affection for it. Now I have an even cuter dog, and as for Dabai, forget it. Oh right, my new dog is called ‘Wealth,’ really adorable.”

Xu Chaomu spoke indifferently, her face expressionless.

“After you left, Dabai missed you every day, sometimes it wouldn’t eat for several meals…”

Xu Chaomu didn’t listen to him, just stretched out her hand, “What does that have to do with me, give me the phone!”

“Impossible.”

Just then, Xu Chaomu’s phone happened to ring.

Shen Chi pulled it out of his pocket; the previous few times, he had just hung up.

But this time, he answered.

The screen only displayed two characters: Hubby.

“Chaomu, where are you? Why aren’t you picking up my calls? Did something happen?”

On the other end was an anxious voice.

Xu Chaomu slid off the bed, reaching to snatch the phone, but Shen Chi avoided her.

On the line was none other than Nie Chenglang.

Shen Chi spoke lightly, “Are you looking for Xu Chaomu?”

“Who are you? Where is Chaomu? Why is her phone with you?”

“Of course, I am Xu Chaomu’s husband. Are you looking for her? She… is taking a shower.”

Shen Chi curved his lips into a wry smile, gazing at Xu Chaomu as he spoke.

Xu Chaomu grew furious immediately; who takes a shower in broad daylight at the hospital?

“Chenglang…”

Before Xu Chaomu could continue, Shen Chi carelessly continued, “She just came out of the shower, she’s changing now. Do you want to talk to her?”

Xu Chaomu kicked out, “Shen Chi, you roll the hell away from me!”

There was no sound from the phone; Shen Chi pressed to hang up.

“So that was the man named Nie Chenglang? The name sounds somewhat familiar,” Shen Chi muttered.

Shen Chi browsed the phone, saved his own number in it, and brazenly wrote the two characters “Hubby.”

As for Nie Chenglang, he casually added him to the blacklist.

“Give me back my phone!”

“Mumu, don’t be angry, getting angry is bad for the baby,” Shen Chi approached, wrapping his arms around her waist, “Look at you, still so thin, and pregnant now, how can you bear it. Do you want hubby to give you a little boost?”

“Keep away from me, Mr. Shen, everything between us ended five years ago. You have your life, and I have my new life, why can’t we just act as if we never met, wouldn’t that be better?”

“No good. I’ve known you for thirteen years, you’ve climbed into my bed, you’ve stripped my clothes, and also, haven’t you forgotten, you have forcefully kissed me. All these things, you don’t want to take responsibility for? It’s not that simple!”

Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched, truly shameless.

She did climb into his bed, but each time before she even reached the edge, she was kicked out; she did strip his clothes, but every time she saw nothing before he pushed her away; she did accidentally kiss him, but he had long since returned the favor with interest!

He really had the nerve to talk like he was at a loss!

Utterly shameless!

Just then, Shen Chi’s phone rang.

It was Xiao Mo.

“What is it?”

“Mr. Shen, please come to the company building, there’s trouble, Miss Jian is threatening to jump off the building!”

“Jump off? Let her jump. I want to see if she dares,” he scoffed.

“But… you should come, the media has blockaded the building, Miss Jian is crying on the balcony, saying you are ungrateful. Her parents are also here, they want you to give an explanation.”

“What if I don’t go?”

“This time Miss Jian seems serious, if someone dies, that wouldn’t be good.”

“She always seems serious every time she makes a fuss, with this spectacle, does she think she can discredit me, Shen Chi?” Shen Chi snorted.

“You should come in person anyway because Miss Jian said…”

“Said what?”

“You’ll know when you get here.”

Xiao Mo hesitated for a few seconds before responding.

Shen Chi then said calmly, “This is the last time, I’ll be over in a bit.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

After hanging up, Shen Chi glanced at Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu looked on with schadenfreude. She hadn’t heard everything clearly but had caught the gist of it.

Miss Jian?

Shen Chi’s life was never short of women; he changed them more frequently than clothes.

“Mumu, I have to step out for a bit, wait for me in the hospital, don’t wander off.”

“My legs are my own, it’s my business whether I run or not. If you try to control me like you did five years ago, watch out, I might blind your eyes, break your legs, and turn you into a eunuch!”

Shen Chi’s mouth twitched, he glanced at her stomach and said coolly, “Mind the prenatal education.”

After speaking, Shen Chi picked up his coat, draped it over his arm, and left the hospital.

He drove himself to the company. To his surprise, before he could even reach the entrance, a swarm of reporters chased after him, blocking his way!

A dense mass, composed entirely of journalists from major media outlets and onlookers!

“Mr. Shen, may we interview you? What is your relationship with Miss Jian Sisi?”
