If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Shen Chi, How Could You be so Dirty

Shen Chi held on to Xu Chaomu’s hand and refused to let go, and of course, Xu Chaomu was not willing to leave.

So, Shen Chi simply stopped walking, lowered his head near her ear, and whispered softly, “Want me to carry you?”

Xu Chaomu’s face turned red, Shen Chi was shameless, Mo Shuifu was still there. @@novelbin@@

Moreover, she saw a little girl running over! Running over!

The little girl stood next to Mo Shuifu, sneaking peeks at them, and then, the little tyke spoke up.

“Auntie Shui Fu, what are this uncle and auntie doing?”

Xu Chaomu looked embarrassed, glaring reproachfully at Shen Chi.

Before Mo Shuifu could speak, the little tyke spoke again: “Is it a demon fight?”

Uh… Xu Chaomu’s face couldn’t bear it any longer, this little girl really had her style back in the day!

Knowing about demon fights, she’s not simple. Judging by her looks, she was younger than Xu Chaomu when she first learned that word.

Xu Chaomu let go of Shen Chi and walked up in two strides, bent down, and patted her head: “Little girl, you should watch fewer comic books, alright?”

“I didn’t read comic books!” the little girl retorted, “I gave all my comic books back to my deskmate Xiaochunjie.”

Mo Shuifu and Xu Chaomu both started laughing, and Xu Chaomu even ruffled her hair more earnestly: “Little girl, people named Xiaochunjie tend to be not so pure, you know? Don’t be fooled.”

“Oh, so are you called Xiaocongming, auntie?” the little girl challenged her.

“…” Xu Chaomu was at a loss for words.

Are kids these days this precocious? Should she praise her or not?

“Not behaving,” Xu Chaomu touched her head.

“I am behaving very well,” the little girl was unhappy.

“If you’re behaving, go back to practice the piano!” Xu Chaomu scolded her.

“Auntie, why are you so fierce? With you being this fierce, how could uncle like you? Hmph.” The little girl, upset, turned her head and scampered away.

“You!” Xu Chaomu was frustrated.

“Let’s go home!” Shen Chi came over and took her hand.

“I’m not going home, I…”

Before Xu Chaomu could finish speaking, she was dragged away by Shen Chi, without even having the chance to say goodbye to Mo Shuifu.

Mo Shuifu watched their retreating backs, knowing that with Shen Chi present, Xu Chaomu wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

Shen Chi dragged Xu Chaomu all the way to the car, his movements quick and smooth.

With a “bang,” he shut the car door.

“I’ll never call you again,” Xu Chaomu shook her head.

She had dug her own grave, and it was a bittersweet feeling.

“Don’t worry, I’ll call you,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“I won’t answer.”

“You dare,” Shen Chi gritted his teeth, staring at her.

Alright, alright, she was scared, scared.

Shen Chi stepped on the gas and drove the car out of the piano store, heading straight for the Shen Family home.

“Are you really not going to the company?” Xu Chaomu asked curiously.

“I have more important things than work.”

“What?” Xu Chaomu was curious.

“You.”

“Damn it, Shen Chi, why are you so dirty? Don’t you need some cleaning powder? Geez, my gosh!” Xu Chaomu was very angry, and the consequences were severe.

Her face turned green, her eyes whirling as she found a pillow in the car.

With a “smack,” she threw the pillow at him!

“Stop messing around, I’m driving,” Shen Chi said sternly.

“…” Xu Chaomu conceded; she didn’t want any accidents.

After returning home, sure enough, he didn’t say anything and just carried her from the car to the bedroom as soon as they arrived.

Back in the room, he closed the door and tossed Xu Chaomu onto the bed.

“It’s daytime!”

“I don’t care whether it’s day or night.”

After saying that, Shen Chi took off his suit jacket and started undoing his tie.

“You, you, are you serious?” Xu Chaomu panicked, watching him; she had always thought he was joking.

“…” Shen Chi remained silent.

Xu Chaomu hurriedly got up from the bed, grasped his hand, and said with a grievance: “I was wrong.”

“Hmm?”

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have called you, delaying your work.”

“It’s alright, it can be remedied.”

“Can it not be remedied?”

“Do you think you have a choice?”

“I…” Xu Chaomu was speechless, “How about I cook for you?”

“I’m not eating.”

“Then how about you cook for me?”

“I won’t!”

“Alright, a gentleman’s agreement cannot be retracted; if you said you won’t cook, then you can’t!”

Xu Chaomu let go of his hand, quickly ran to the door, opened it, and dashed away.

Shen Chi was left standing there, dumbfounded. So, was he being played by her?

During dinner that evening, Shen Chi had a dark face, visibly not in a good mood.

“Fourth Brother, eat more, it’s good for your health,” Xu Chaomu kept serving him food.

Shen Chi watched her smiling slyly, and could hardly stop himself from pinching her to death.

“Fourth Brother, this fish is delicious; it’s very fresh.”

“Fourth Brother, do you want some soup?”

“Fourth Brother, do you want more rice?”

“Shut up!” Shen Chi shouted.

“Oh…” Xu Chaomu sat down, feeling defeated, her good intentions taken for granted and ignored.

That night, Xu Chaomu did not let Shen Chi touch her; she felt that these things shouldn’t happen too often.

Thus, she locked Shen Chi out of the room for the night.

She even specifically instructed the Butler Ling to not give Shen Chi the keys.

Shen Chi, gritting his teeth, had no choice but to sleep in his own room for the night. Xu Chaomu had really come into her own.

That night, without Shen Chi sleeping beside her, she felt somewhat unaccustomed.

When Shen Chi slept next to her, her blanket would stay on all night, and she would sleep peacefully.

Without Shen Chi, she kept thinking, what if the blanket fell to the ground and she caught a cold during the night?

That made her realize Shen Chi did have his benefits.

But just the thought of letting him in, knowing she definitely wouldn’t be able to get out of bed the next day, made her shake her head and stop thinking about him.

Today at the piano store, she really did suddenly miss him a lot.

Missed him a lot, so much.

She didn’t know why…

She truly feared that one day, she would no longer see him. Especially in that moment, the feeling was extremely strong.

…

About four or five days later, Mo Shuifu brought Xu Chaomu a diary.

The diary was already yellowing, and many of the handwritten notes were blurred, but still legible.

“Chaomu, the piano store kept me busy, so I only managed to bring it to you today,” Mo Shuifu said.

“It’s fine, I’m not in a hurry,” Xu Chaomu replied, “Shui Fu, really thank you. When I finish, I will return it to you.”

“Take your time. My father’s handwriting is somewhat sloppy,” Mo Shuifu said, “Just cope with it.”

“Not at all, Uncle Mo’s writing is very stylish,” Xu Chaomu smiled.

“It’s only you who would praise him like that,” Mo Shuifu smiled as well.

Recalling the past, there were sweet memories, but also sadness.

But so many years have passed, and Mo Shuifu no longer felt too much sorrow in her heart.

Mo Shuifu hung around the Shen Family home for a while, and unexpectedly, Shen Chi returned before she left.

For some reason, every time she saw Shen Chi now, she wanted to hide, maybe for fear of Shen Shihan misunderstanding.
