If You Could Hear My Heart

Xu Chaomu instinctively protected her belly. Thankfully, there was no harm. She took a deep breath and patted her chest, frightened.

“Miss, are you alright?” the driver asked with concern.

“I’m fine, I’m fine. What happened?” Xu Chaomu looked around.

“Another blind driver!” the driver swore. “These days, if you’re blind, don’t get on the road!”

The driver looked ahead. A red Audi was blocking their way, showing no sign of yielding!

“Beep beep beep,” the driver honked a few times as a reminder.

The red Audi didn’t budge, as if it was glued to the spot.

“Damn it! What’s the big idea!” the driver cursed impatiently. “Driving an Audi just to show off, with not a shred of decency!”

The driver was a middle-aged uncle with crude words but sound reasoning.

Xu Chaomu also thought this was too much. Driving so recklessly could have killed someone.

The driver honked again repeatedly, the beeping so piercing that even Xu Chaomu found it grating.

Only then did the Audi in front start to move; its door opened, and a woman in a white dress got out.

The woman wore sunglasses that nearly covered half of her face.

But Xu Chaomu recognized her at a glance. She remembered Nie Chenglang’s mother calling this woman “Nana.”

She had only met her once, but Xu Chaomu couldn’t forget.

She remembered the woman’s coquettish manner of speaking, her voice particularly soft and smooth, likely unforgettable to anyone who had heard her.

It was clear that she had a very good relationship with Nie Chenglang’s mother, as she would call Nie Chenglang “Brother Chenglang.”

Qi Na got out of her car and walked in her high heels towards the taxi.

Xu Chaomu had no intention of getting out; she just narrowed her eyes and quietly watched her approach.

“So it’s a woman, what’s the big deal!” the driver honked at her a few more times, signaling her to hurry up and move her car.

Qi Na had already come out; how could she possibly leave.

As expected, she knocked heavily on the taxi’s window, looking quite unhappy.

Xu Chaomu slowly lowered the window, not planning to get out of the car.

Qi Na was standing on Xu Chaomu’s side. As soon as Xu Chaomu lowered the window halfway, Qi Na’s hand, painted with red nail polish, reached in!

She grabbed Xu Chaomu’s hair!

“You bitch, get out! Stop pretending, get out here!”

Xu Chaomu had not anticipated how unreasonable Qi Na could be. Her hair was yanked, causing her pain as she hurried to close the window!

“What are you doing? Let go!” Xu Chaomu shouted angrily.

Seeing Xu Chaomu being bullied, the driver exited the driver’s seat and rushed out.

He ran to the passenger side, pushed Qi Na away with one hand, his temper flaring up, almost throwing Qi Na to the ground!

“What the hell are you doing? I can’t stand women like you, blocking the road with your car and still having the nerve? Now you’re even hitting someone; do you think you own the sky?” the driver gripped Qi Na’s arm and flung her aside.

Xu Chaomu was pulled by Qi Na, her scalp tingling with pain.

She winced, clenching her teeth.

This Qi Na, what a thoughtless person, acting so impulsively.

In such a lively place, wasn’t she embarrassed to create a spectacle?

Luckily, her long nails hadn’t scratched Xu Chaomu’s face, or else it would have been a scene today.

With her face ruined, how could she attend the job interview?

“Who are you calling? What does your problem with that bitch have to do with me?” Qi Na fumed, provoked by the driver’s grip.

“I’m talking about you, reared but never taught!” the driver didn’t care. “In broad daylight, mind your manners! Must be taking stupid pills every day, can’t skip a dose!”

Xu Chaomu was amused by the driver’s words and laughed out loud.

She chickened out; she didn’t dare to get out of the car.

Not for any other reason than she was carrying a little bun in her belly.

What she wanted to protect the most now was her little bun; she wouldn’t let him get hurt in the slightest.

Before she was an adult, she couldn’t stand being scolded to her face; she’d have thrown a punch immediately, especially with such offensive words.

Now, she didn’t have that impulse anymore.

And, in her current state, she definitely couldn’t beat Qi Na.

“Xu Chaomu, come out if you dare, don’t shrink back into your car like a turtle! Are you afraid?!” Qi Na yelled loudly.

The driver pushed her again: “What are you yelling for? You’re blocking other people’s way, and you still think you’re in the right? Move your car away, and I won’t argue with you!”

“Who are you? Do you know how shameless the woman in your car is? She has a husband and still tries to seduce my boyfriend, got pregnant, and doesn’t even know whose seed it is!” Qi Na shouted loudly, stirring up as much chaos as possible.

Her coquettish voice drew a crowd of onlookers. Moreover, people love this kind of gossip, sticking around as if glued to the spot, unwilling to leave.

Xu Chaomu lowered the car window and shouted back at her, “Qi Na, you’d better leave! Chenglang can’t afford to lose this face.”

“Xu Chaomu, if you have the guts, get out and clarify things!”

“I won’t get out of the car. Move yours; I have other things to handle,” Xu Chaomu said.

Pointing at Xu Chaomu, Qi Na said angrily to the onlookers, “See, this woman, already married, still texting and calling my boyfriend, even saying she wants him to marry her. Now, she’s pregnant, and probably even she doesn’t know who the father is!”

Qi Na became more agitated as she spoke: “Her private life is so chaotic! My boyfriend’s mother can’t stand it and forbade her from coming to see my boyfriend, yet she shamelessly keeps in contact with him!”

“Xu Chaomu, you’re a mistress, a shameless mistress!” Qi Na was only concerned with cursing to her heart’s content, without any regard for her image.

Xu Chaomu turned a deaf ear and remained quietly seated in the car.

The crowd of onlookers, however, could not contain themselves, and they started to talk among themselves.

The windows were closed, but the words were particularly unpleasant, and Xu Chaomu frowned.

“She’s a mistress…”

“Nowadays, any slightly attractive woman goes off to become a mistress.”

“How can they think like that? Are they that desperate for money?”

“Nowadays for women, youth is the capital, huh? Using a young, pretty face to make a few bucks, then find a husband to marry. Where’s the loss in that?”

“Yeah, and in the end, the husband is kept in the dark, and it takes years after having a baby to do a paternity test to find out.”

“And when the test shows it’s not his… bam, shocked.”

The crowd laughed loudly; Qi Na stood by, patting her clothes with an air of arrogance.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t stand it any longer and finally opened the car door and got out!

As she appeared, the crowd reached a climax, and all eyes were focused on her face!
