If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 775: Husband, Thank You



Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Husband, Thank You

“…” Shen Chi looked at her with utter disdain, lowering his voice, “Mumu, I said you’re frigid and you still don’t believe me.”

“…” This time it was Xu Chaomu’s turn to be at a loss for words. She rolled her eyes several times. Was there a connection between the two?

At this moment, Shen Chi walked down leisurely and stood in front of her.

He looked at her, and she rolled her eyes at him a few more times to express the anger in her heart.

Shen Chi reached out and handed the notebook he was holding to Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu looked down and immediately realized without guessing. She could see it very clearly; it was a property deed!

...

The property deed!

Shen Chi looked at her with a calm face, his arms crossed with a slight and faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Xu Chaomu opened the property deed, and it turned out to be the Waterside Pavilion and the owner listed was her name: Xu Chaomu.

Yes, just her name, not even his own.

For some reason, she felt a twinge in her nose, and her eyes moistened.

Still, she pretended to be calm, looking over the property deed from start to finish, though she couldn’t really understand it.

“The Waterside Pavilion is yours. From now on, let’s see who dares to talk about you,” Shen Chi said as he stretched out his hand, gently stroking her long hair.

His tone was very gentle, but when spoken, it carried a powerful deterrent force, a quiet command.

Xu Chaomu closed the property deed and looked up at him, “If it weren’t for what your father said, would you have not planned to tell me?”

“Didn’t I say long ago that the Waterside Pavilion is our home?”

“Shen Chi, since the property deed is in my name, does that mean I can kick you out whenever and wherever I want in the future?”

“…” Shen Chi’s mouth twitched.

Seeing the look of resentment on Shen Chi’s face, Xu Chaomu secretly laughed inside.

The next second, she hooked her arms around his neck and kissed his face, “Husband, thank you.”

Her sweet call of “husband” made Shen Chi’s heart blossom with joy, and he curved his lips into a very satisfied smile.

“At least you’re not completely ungrateful. You still know enough to thank me,” Shen Chi said.

“I’ve always been very conscientious. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you touch me while I’m pregnant…” Her voice trailed off and her face reddened as she spoke.

“Could you… be even more conscientious?” Shen Chi hinted to her in a relaxed manner.

“Can’t, can’t, can’t!” Xu Chaomu refused him.

Shen Chi, with a face full of grievance, could only look at her scornfully and said, “Alright, I know you can’t.”

Nevertheless, Xu Chaomu still hooked her arms around his neck and kissed his face a few more times.

Back in the day, he would not even let her touch him. But now, his entire being was hers, and she could kiss him anytime…

All of this felt like a dream, a beautiful dream indeed.

The afternoon sun was exceptionally bright, shining through the window into the living room, the tiny fragments scattered like gold upon the floor. The shadow of a tree by the window added to the scene, with fallen leaves adorning the summer mess.

When she embraced him, she felt that time was good and life was long.

The next day, Xu Chaomu went to the company with the revised design drawings.

Of course, as usual, the driver dropped her off not far from the company, and she walked the rest of the way.

Old Cheng’s arm still hadn’t fully recovered, and sometimes he drove Shen Chi for short trips, but most of the time, another driver did the driving.

Shen Chi had been unwilling to forgive Old Cheng. It took Xu Chaomu and Butler Ling’s repeated pleas to finally convince him.

Xu Chaomu had deep feelings for Old Cheng, and he had always treated her well.

After the incident with Zhou Peitian, Old Cheng was seriously injured. She had secretly visited him several times.

Lately, Shen Chi’s anger had subsided.

When she arrived at the design department, she was right on time, and half of the people were already there.

“Good morning, everyone,” Xu Chaomu greeted them with a smile.

It had been a long time since she had seen them, the last time being a colleague’s birthday, which she hurriedly attended for a meal.

“Xiaoxu, you haven’t been to work for a long time,” a colleague expressed concern.

“Yes, I was hospitalized for a while and have been convalescing at home.”

“You were hospitalized? Is the baby okay?”

“It’s fine, no worries. The doctor said it’s very healthy,” Xu Chaomu replied with a smile.

“That’s good; you need to be careful when you’re pregnant. Later, tell your husband to take more care of you and not to just focus on work.”

Xu Chaomu nodded, “He’s really good to me; he’s been taking care of me the whole time.”

“That’s good, that’s really good. Xiaoxu, do you want some dried blueberries? They’re delicious.”

After saying that, the colleague handed over a bag of unopened dried blueberries to Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu took them with a smile, “Thank you, Sister Fang. Oh, I also have some chocolate here. I’ll share it with you all.”

As she spoke, Xu Chaomu set down her backpack.

In the morning, Shen Chi had someone stuff some food into her bag, and she didn’t pay attention because she was afraid of being late. After all, being late could result in a hefty salary deduction.

The servants mentioned it was chocolate, just perfect to share with her colleagues!

It had been a while since she had joined the design department, and with so many things going on, she hadn’t yet invited them for a meal.

With that, Xu Chaomu opened up her backpack.

Hearing about the chocolate, a few of the younger girls gathered around.

“Chaomu, Chaomu, where’s the chocolate?”

“It’s in my bag; don’t rush, I’m getting it for you,” she replied.

One of the middle-aged women gave a knowing glance and chuckled, “Xiaoxu, you keep it for yourself. There probably isn’t much, right? If you divide it among us, you won’t be able to taste any.”

Xu Chaomu was handling them as she spoke, “No problem, if it runs out, I’ll just have my husband buy more.”

They still had so much chocolate at home, and candy, and chips… all sorts of snacks. However, with her pregnancy, Shen Chi didn’t allow her to eat much.

“Alright, finally found it!” Xu Chaomu fished out a jar of chocolate from a pile of papers.

No wonder it was so heavy, it was a full large jar!

What brand could it be? Xu Chaomu looked curiously for a moment, having not tried it before, but it seemed delicious.

Anything Shen Chi bought for her wouldn’t be bad.

Apparently, none of her colleagues had seen this brand before, as they all crowded closer.

A frank young girl asked curiously, “Chaomu, what kind of chocolate is this? I’ve never seen it before. What language is this?”

“German, German, I’ve studied it,” another young girl declared.

Xu Chaomu unscrewed the jar and said with a smile, “Really? I don’t know German.”

“Did your husband buy it for you? He’s quite thoughtful.”

“Yeah, he brought it back from a business trip because I kept nagging him about wanting chocolate,” Xu Chaomu casually remarked.

This wasn’t from Shen Chi’s business trips; the gifts he brought back for her were supposedly… still with the secretary in Washington.

He had hurriedly left the presents at the estate due to his quick return.

At this point, Xu Chaomu opened the jar, revealing bar-shaped chocolates with exquisite, tempting packaging.

Since there were plenty, Xu Chaomu shared one with each person.
