If You Could Hear My Heart

Shen Chi roared, “Get lost!”

“Err…” Xiao Mo was sweating profusely.

Hearing Shen Chi’s tone, it seemed he hadn’t succeeded. Thinking about it, Xu Chaomu was pregnant, so Shen Chi probably hadn’t been beastly to that extent.

“Right, how is Jian Sisi doing?” Shen Chi asked.

“She’s fine, there’s a doctor watching over her. She won’t die,” Xiao Mo said.

“Continue to have someone watch her, I’ll head over later.”

“Okay.”

“As for Zhuo Fan’s matter, she mustn’t know about it for now.”

“I understand,” Xiao Mo nodded.

“Hmm.”

Shen Chi hung up the phone and went to his room to change clothes.

He put on a dark blue shirt; since he did not plan to go to the company today, he didn’t wear a tie.

After fastening the buttons of his shirt, he slowly walked down the stairs.

Xu Chaomu had not yet woken up, so he had a servant bring breakfast to the balcony.

The sun at nine in the summer was already scorching, but there was a strong breeze on the balcony that kept the sun away. Shen Chi sat in the wicker chair with a cup of coffee, enjoying a leisurely moment.

The summer breeze brought waves of floral scent, and the balcony was enveloped in the fragrance of various flowers.

Outside the balcony, there was a string of green vines; with the wind’s caress, the vines swayed gracefully, like dancing sprites.

Shen Chi squinted his eyes and looked out from the balcony; from this angle, he could enjoy the view of the garden in the villa.

The lush flowers were like a brocade, and the vegetation was verdant.

Steam from the coffee rose gently, creating a misty haze in the air.

After a long while, Shen Chi took out Xu Chaomu’s phone again.

The butler had made many calls, but fortunately, he had already sent a message to the butler. Otherwise, the butler would have been very anxious.

He dismissed those insignificant calls and messages, and suddenly, he noticed a strange number.

The strange number had sent many videos to Xu Chaomu; Shen Chi’s heart stirred, his eyes slightly cold.

Shen Chi casually opened one, and the video’s background was a bar. The main character in the video was surprisingly him.

Someone had actually sent such videos to Xu Chaomu!

He watched all the videos without showing any emotion; they were nothing more than him holding women, living a dissolute life.

Pity, the videos were not elaborated on finely enough; he spotted the flaws at a glance.

Shen Chi’s eyes were cold, and a trace of chill seeped from the corners of his mouth.

During the days he was not there, someone deliberately sent such videos to Xu Chaomu.

However, what surprised him was that Xu Chaomu did not mention anything to him, nor did she make a fuss.

At most, she would just indulge in a bit of petulance with him, but he liked it when she was petulant, and he doted on her.

What would Xu Chaomu think after watching such videos?

Her mind was not delicate; surely, she would not doubt the authenticity of the videos.

Then what exactly happened during the days he was gone?

He checked the other contents of her phone but didn’t find anything particularly unusual.

After finishing, he threw her phone aside!

Who was so bold to dare to send her such messages while he was away…

A breeze blew onto the balcony, and the chill in his eyes grew deeper…

Xu Chaomu didn’t wake up until past eleven in the noon, rubbing her eyes groggily. She reached out with her hand, and Shen Chi was nowhere to be found.

Had he slept with her last night?

She rubbed her eyes, unable to remember…

She remembered that when she was deep in sleep, there seemed to be a pair of warm hands tightly embracing her waist.

Xu Chaomu patted her head, oh, that must have been it, the one who slept beside her last night was him.

Initially, she didn’t want to get up, but the moment she opened her eyes, she saw all those beautiful clothes in the wardrobe.

Women generally can’t resist beautiful clothes, and with a “gurgle,” she crawled out of bed.

In the spacious wardrobe, the multitude of clothes was dazzling.

She picked a blue floral dress, looked at it, too fresh and clean.

Then she picked a white bodycon dress, looked at it, too mature.

Next, she picked a Bohemian style beach dress, looked at it, but it seemed inappropriate to wear at home.

…

Xu Chaomu was dazzled by the choices, propping her chin as she stared at the plethora of clothes in the wardrobe.

She suffered from choice overload, muttering to herself, “Which one should I wear, what color should I choose…”

After much deliberation, she decided to just grab whatever came to hand, whichever that would be.

Unexpectedly, what she grabbed was quite a sexy light blue slip dress.

Xu Chaomu had never worn anything particularly sexy in front of Shen Chi, not daring to five years ago, but now she felt bold enough, thinking, a slip dress then!

The weather was quite hot, wearing a slip dress would be very cool.

However, she hadn’t anticipated that, after slipping out of her nightgown and into the slip dress, the bump on her lower belly became even more apparent, and she had to change again into a looser denim overall dress.

After getting dressed, she tied her hair into a high ponytail.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she was clearly so young, yet she was about to become a mother.

Truly, a single misstep could become an eternal regret.

By the time she emerged from the bedroom, it was already twelve noon.

She thought Shen Chi would have already gone to the company, but just as she reached the top of the stairs, she saw him sitting on the living room sofa.

He was working with his laptop again, Xu Chaomu pursed her lips, hmph, he didn’t even call her to eat.

Hearing her footsteps descending the stairs, Shen Chi didn’t look up, his gaze stayed on his laptop as he said indifferently, “Up now?”

“When did you get up?”

“Before you.”

“…” Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched, well, that was stating the obvious.

She walked down the stairs, came to the sofa, and sat next to him.

Glancing at his laptop, all those complex financial things, bourse, share, delist… too complicated, she couldn’t understand.

Sitting next to him, she shook his arm, “I’m hungry.”

“I’ve eaten already.” Shen Chi continued typing without lifting his head.

When Xu Chaomu heard that, she got angry. He had already eaten?

“Why didn’t you wait for me? I’m still hungry, my baby is hungry too!”

Only then did Shen Chi stop his busyness and turned to look at her, “The chef who cooks has gone home.”

“Then what did you eat?”

He looked at her with a serious expression and couldn’t help but laugh, patting her head, “You believed my tease.”

“Annoying, then you go cook.” Xu Chaomu tugged at his sleeve.

“Sure, but is there a reward?” Shen Chi looked at her.

Xu Chaomu was dressed beautifully today in a lively and cute denim overall dress, her hair tied up high in a ponytail, her whole appearance brimming with youth.

However, in his eyes, she always looked good, even better without clothes.

“How about a touch of my baby as a reward?” Xu Chaomu smiled ingratiatingly.

Shen Chi’s complexion changed, his gaze turning a bit hazy.

He turned his head back towards his laptop screen, indifferently saying, “Go sit for a while, I will go make something for you in a bit.”

It was then that Xu Chaomu recalled, in his heart, this was Nie Chenglang’s child, she had forgotten…
