If You Could Hear My Heart

At this moment, he was very close to her, just a few centimeters away, he could even catch any expression on her face.

Mo Shuifu felt embarrassed by his gaze and pouted, lowering her eyelids.

“Shui Fu…” He called out her name.

It was as if he were a child, simply liking to say her name, childishly so.

“You drive, let’s go back,” Mo Shuifu avoided his gaze.

His gaze was too intense, her cheeks were burning.

“Shui Fu, promise me one thing, no matter when, never leave me, okay?”

Shen Shihan’s tone was very gentle, even a bit pleading.

He had never been so sincere in his life, to anyone but her…

Mo Shuifu widened her eyes as she looked at him, not understanding why he suddenly said this to her.

In fact, since the day she married him, she had never thought of leaving him…

To be fair, he treated her quite well, except for the occasional doubts and grudges.

But what she saw today had disappointed her a bit.

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Shen Shihan’s heart inexplicably panicked.

“Shui Fu, promise me…”

“Then…you have to promise me something first,” Mo Shuifu spoke softly.

She looked at him, and she saw his eyebrows furrow slightly.

This man, with his handsome face and distinct features, exuded maturity and presence.

“Hmm?” He hummed a response from his throat.

“Don’t wait another year, stop now, okay?”

Shen Shihan’s face changed slightly. It was still that matter—he really didn’t want to discuss it with her at the moment.

Seeing that he was not speaking, Mo Shuifu continued, “If you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it at all… this principle…”

“Stop talking,” Shen Shihan said sternly.

He didn’t want to hear her say these things, really didn’t.

Silenced by his rebuke, Mo Shuifu also chose not to speak, and the car returned to silence.

Time ticked by second by second, and he watched her face like that.

After a while, he spoke again, softly.

“Shui Fu, in a year’s time, I’ll give you a lavish wedding.”

Mo Shuifu was a bit surprised; she had thought he would be angry, but…

Surprise shone in her eyes, for they had been married for two years already, and she no longer thought about the wedding.

Besides, when Shen Shihan took her to the banquet and publicly declared his love for her, she had already been amazed.

In fact, she was very content, even pleasantly surprised by everything he did for her.

Like at that banquet, when rose petals fell from the sky, and he held her in his arms, forehead to forehead, she felt like the happiest person in the world…

It all seemed like a hazy dream, as if from another life.

If only she hadn’t discovered that thing today, how good it would have been, but alas…

She shook her head gently, “I just want you to be well.”

She didn’t want anything, not even the wedding that every woman longs for.

All she wanted was for him to be well.

Shen Shihan seemed not to have heard her, and kissed her forehead again.

“When I say something, I will do it,” his gaze was full of tenderness.

“I know,” Mo Shuifu said.

He had never gone back on a promise he made to her. She kept all his kindness in her heart.

“Hmm,” Shen Shihan’s lips curled up, and he touched her long hair again.

“Let’s go home.”

“Okay,” Shen Shihan returned to his seat, fastened the seatbelt, and restarted the car.

The Ferrari cruised down the road, and Mo Shuifu felt anxious and restless in her heart, truly unsure of what to do now.

She definitely would not call the police or tell Shen Chi, but she didn’t want Shen Shihan to continue down this path…

Would he really stop in a year?

Mo Shuifu couldn’t give herself an answer.

“Shihan, shall we go for seafood for lunch?”

As the car reached halfway, Mo Shuifu asked Shen Shihan.

She rarely went out to eat with him or attended various events with him, so when she initiated, Shen Shihan was somewhat flattered.

“Okay,” he agreed without hesitation.

Mo Shuifu’s lips curled up slightly, and she turned to look at his profile.

They did not go home but to a seafood restaurant. As the car passed by Shen Group’s building, Mo Shuifu looked through the window, just in time to see Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu was covering her head with a folder to shade herself from the sun, squinting her eyes as she stood outside the building.

Mo Shuifu asked Shen Shihan to stop the car, then got out and walked over to Xu Chaomu.

“Chaomu,” she called out to her.

Xu Chaomu turned her head and saw it was Mo Shuifu. Having not seen her for several hours, she wondered why she’d suddenly appeared again.

“Shui Fu!” She ran up to Mo Shuifu.

“Slow down, slow down. What brings you to Shen’s?” Mo Shuifu asked.

“I’m planning to work at Shen Group.”

“Is that so? That’s good. Would you like to join me for lunch?”

Xu Chaomu saw Shen Shihan’s Ferrari and also glimpsed the vague profile of Shen Shihan inside the car through the window.

She shook her head, “No need, the butler said he has prepared a table full of delicious food, waiting for me to return.”

“Really? Then I won’t keep you. Take good care of yourself, don’t overexert yourself.”

Mo Shuifu glanced at her stomach; there was no notable change in its appearance, but she knew Xu Chaomu was three months pregnant.

“I eat, drink, and play every day, not tired at all, I’m about to become a little pig,” Xu Chaomu said with a laugh.

“Then isn’t your baby a tiny piglet?” Mo Shuifu laughed.

“He is a little piglet indeed, eating and drinking without a care,” Xu Chaomu laughed as well.

Mo Shuifu said, “About knitting the hat for him last time, I’ve been a bit busy lately. By the time I finish, it will probably be close to winter.”

“No rush, this little guy still has several months before he’s born,” Xu Chaomu said affectionately, touching her stomach.

But, had it not been for Mo Shuifu bringing up the matter of the child, she would not have mentioned it.

She knew Mo Shuifu had lost a child, and it was a little difficult for her to get pregnant again. She didn’t want to upset her.

Mo Shuifu likely had already accepted the facts, as there wasn’t much sadness on her face when talking about children; instead, she was quite cheerful.

The two of them chatted outside for a while before Mo Shuifu finally said, “If you’re not joining us for lunch, you should go back early, your skin is delicate, and you might get sunburned.”

“I am thick-skinned, I won’t burn,” Xu Chaomu giggled.

Mo Shuifu laughed as well, and after a while, she waved goodbye to Xu Chaomu.

As she got into the car, Xu Chaomu caught sight of Shen Shihan in the driver’s seat.

Shen Shihan also turned his head at just the right moment, and when their eyes met, Xu Chaomu’s grip on the folder tightened unconsciously.
