If You Could Hear My Heart

Mo Shuifu was pressuring him; she wanted him to back off in time.

She suddenly remembered a question he had asked her long ago: If one day, both Shen Chi and I were in trouble at the same time, which one would you feel sorry for?

She did not wish for such a day to come, no, there must never be such a day.

“Drag you down?” Shen Shihan chewed on these three words and sneered coldly, “Is that how you view our relationship?”

“If you truly don’t want to back off, then let’s get divorced first.”

“Impossible!” Shen Shihan repeated the same sentence.

He could never divorce her; he would always remember how he felt in the hospital.

Back then, the nurse told him that her child was miscarried.

At that time, according to their agreement, he was supposed to let her go, but at that moment, he regretted it.

It took him three years to find her again, even if she had nothing left, even if the doctors said it was unlikely for her to get pregnant again, but he still resolutely took her to the civil affairs office to register their marriage.

Although she had always been resistant, after two years of adaptation, their relationship had improved a lot.

He was looking forward to the day when they could grow old together.

Five years ago, his father, Shen Cexian, had given all of his shares to him; he was well-positioned to compete for the presidency of Shen Group.

But later, to marry Mo Shuifu, Shen Cexian gave him an ultimatum.

If he married Mo Shuifu, he could forget about ever competing for the ownership of Shen Group.

His mother, Liu Rumei, also cried and begged him not to marry Mo Shuifu, but he resolutely took her to the civil affairs office anyway.

He might not have been able to compete against Shen Chi, but it was his own choice to give up that power.

He had never regretted it to this day.

However, giving up Shen’s did not mean giving up on himself.

He wanted to accumulate funds while transferring assets, to rebuild his own group, and when the time was ripe, to annex Shen’s.

He had never shared his inner thoughts with her, thinking these were men’s matters.

It wouldn’t take long, at most a year, and he’d have raised enough funds.

By then, he wouldn’t need to engage in arms trafficking anymore!

Though it was a risky move, the risk wouldn’t last too long.

“Shen Shihan, have you ever considered me? If you get caught by the police or discovered by Shen Chi, will you still have a way out?”

Mo Shuifu spoke calmly, these truths were something Shen Shihan would undoubtedly understand.

“As long as you don’t tell anyone, no one else will know!” Shen Shihan stated coldly, reaffirming.

“Let’s drop it; there’s no need to discuss this issue further.”

“I won’t do this for long, just give me one more year,” Shen Shihan said indifferently.

“One year? 365 days of nightmares? 365 days of constant fear?” Mo Shuifu gave a bitter smile.

“You don’t need to worry about anything; I will handle this matter properly!”

“After a year, will you stop? Human greed is never satisfied,” she observed.

“I will,” Shen Shihan promised solemnly.

“Maybe…” Mo Shuifu shook her head; she didn’t believe it.

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Shen Shihan, but rather that she didn’t trust human nature. Everyone is the same; after getting something, they always fantasize about more.

She knew the arms trade was lucrative; as long as one was willing and bold enough, one could gain a lot.

Would Shen Shihan be able to stop by then?

Mo Shuifu lowered her head, her chest filled with complicated feelings at that moment.

Shen Shihan’s gaze, however, gradually softened, and he reached out, laying his large palm on her head.

Her hair was black and soft, he loved to stroke her long hair.

The anger on his face also gradually subsided; as long as she didn’t argue with him, as long as she didn’t bring up Shen Chi, he loved her deeply.

He most loved how she looked when gentle; he wished he could hold her in his embrace.

Today, she discovered this matter – if it were someone else, how could he possibly let them leave the factory alive.

As he stroked her long hair, she also raised her head.

Confusion, panic, and hope filled her large eyes.

When their eyes met, countless sparks flew.

“Shui Fu…” he called her name tenderly.

Mo Shuifu pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Suddenly, he crossed the boundary between them, his cool lips meeting her red ones.

Mo Shuifu started in surprise, her eyes wide open with a misty gaze, looking bewilderedly at Shen Shihan.

Shen Shihan held down her shoulders, pinning her to the driver’s seat without letting her move.

His actions were domineering, but his kisses were tender.

Gently nibbling on her lips, he savored her sweetness bit by bit.

Mo Shuifu tried to push him away with her hands, because at that moment, she really wasn’t in the mood.

Everything that had just happened had not yet settled.

Her heart was still pounding like a frantic deer…

Shen Shihan was trading in arms; would there be something else besides arms?

She didn’t know, but the thought terrified her.

He said he’d stop within a year, but what should she do…

What could happen within a year is unpredictable to everyone.

If he were discovered by Shen Chi or caught by the police, then what?

Mo Shuifu didn’t dare to think further; if that day truly came, what could she do?

At this moment, she was actually relieved that she didn’t have children.

Shen Shihan kept kissing her, biting her lips gently to stop her from overthinking.

Mo Shuifu furrowed her brows and retracted all her thoughts.

Closing her eyes, she let Shen Shihan kiss her lips gently.

Shen Shihan loved watching her from such a close distance, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, very beautiful, so beautiful…

Everything about her intoxicated him, making him committed without any second thoughts.

He kissed her, nibbling and biting her lips, and slowly, he pried open her teeth to deepen their kiss, tangling together…

Time seemed to blur as the car filled with their intertwined breaths.

Mo Shuifu was kissed breathless, trying feebly to push him away.

But Shen Shihan had no intention of stopping, kissing her while his hand reached towards the zipper of her dress.

After fumbling for a while without success, he grew frustrated.

When did she buy a new dress that he found difficult to unzip?

When he failed to open it after several attempts, he became even more irritated and slid his hand directly under her dress…

Mo Shuifu was startled, quickly grabbing Shen Shihan’s hand and pushing hard.

“Hmm… let’s… go back…”

Even though this place was secluded, Mo Shuifu did not want to be intimate with him here…

Moreover, the sunlight outside the window was glaring, and her mind was still occupied with all those thoughts.

Shen Shihan finally stilled his wandering hands and, after one more deep kiss, he planted a light kiss on her forehead.
