If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 786: Chapter 786: Are you the husband of a pig?

Shen Chi looked out the window, the sky outside was dark as ink, and the lights twinkled.

His eyes deep and ice-cold, he finally rasped out a few words, “Shen Group’s power of attorney.”

Shen Chi mentioned it casually, with concise clarity. His father was a smart man, no need for further explanation.

Sure enough, the face of Shen Cexian in the hospital room changed immediately!

That power of attorney, the last time at the villa, Shen Chi had already asked him for it once, but he didn’t give it.

Who would have thought, his purpose tonight was this.

...

“Impossible! Don’t even think about it!” Shen Cexian declared definitively.

“Nothing is impossible, is it?” Shen Chi scoffed coldly.

“Shen Chi, I did think about handing the Group over to you in the past, to sign your name on the power of attorney so I could enjoy my old age. But your behavior now disappoints me greatly, handing the Group to you, I’m afraid you won’t even acknowledge me as your father, right?” Shen Cexian was highly emotional.

“If I didn’t recognize you as my father, would I find you the best doctor? Would I drive Liu Rumei out of the hospital to have Mother stay with you?”

“Whatever you say, Shen Chi, I won’t hand over the power of attorney,” said Shen Cexian, his heart set.

“Fine, then let’s not talk, see you later!” Shen Chi hung up the phone with a cold voice!

His face was a bit cold, and his icy eyes carried anger as he looked outside at the city, which glowed with a hellish light.

Shen Chi leaned back lazily in his seat, his gaze drifting outside the window.

Xu Chaomu was still eating, and because the music in the restaurant was a bit loud, she didn’t hear what Shen Chi was saying clearly, only having a vague feeling that it sounded like Shen Cexian.

Xu Chaomu noticed that Shen Chi’s facial expression wasn’t very good, so she quickly picked a beer chicken wing and fed it to him.

“Big Brother Four, you haven’t eaten much. Look at you, you’ve lost weight,” she said.

Shen Chi frowned slightly, saying disdainfully, “I won’t eat it.”

“There’s so much here, if you don’t eat, I can’t finish it all myself,” she said.

“I still won’t eat it,” Shen Chi declared with feigned arrogance.

Xu Chaomu simply retracted her hand and finished off the chicken wing herself: “If you don’t eat, then forget it.”

Shen Chi was deep in thought, his eyes shadowed and his entire being exuded a chill.

“How is this accompanying me to dinner, Big Brother Four? I’m the only one eating,” Xu Chaomu muttered as she ate, her head down.

Shen Chi remained silent.

“Is this really okay for you? Aren’t you going to be hungry later?” she asked.

Shen Chi still didn’t respond, as he was deep in thought.

Xu Chaomu glanced up at him; he was looking out the window. She felt a bit angry that he neither accompanied her during the meal nor listened to her.

“Forget it, if you’re not eating, I don’t want to bother with you anymore,” Xu Chaomu gave up straightforwardly.

She ate by herself, feeling somewhat annoyed.

By the time she was full, there was still a lot of food left on the table. Shen Chi had hardly eaten anything; he had only drunk a little wine.

After Xu Chaomu finished eating, she looked at him, but he still showed no reaction.

Now Xu Chaomu was really angry. She stood up, grabbed her bag from the rack, and got ready to leave.

“Where are you going?” Shen Chi finally reacted.

“I’m going home!” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.

They had finally come out for a meal, to such a romantic western restaurant, yet he showed no reaction throughout the entire process.

She didn’t know what the person on the phone had said to him to make him look so distraught.

“Sit down,” Shen Chi stopped her, “I haven’t eaten yet.”

“You know to eat now? You look like you don’t need meals at all, staring out the window will feed you. And if there were a few more beauties, you wouldn’t need food for days,” Xu Chaomu chided him.

Shen Chi curved the corners of his mouth slightly, the little woman was starting to scold others.

She was doing it earnestly, in a proper manner.

“If I look at you every day, does that mean I don’t need to eat for a lifetime?” Shen Chi asked, looking at her.

“Shen Chi, cut it out!” Xu Chaomu huffed coldly, he was just trying to appease her again.

“Sit down, accompany me until I finish,” he said.

“I called you so many times earlier, and you ignored me, and now you tell me to sit and I should just sit, why should I?” Xu Chaomu was clearly indignant.

“Because I’m your husband,” Shen Chi said nonchalantly.

“That’s no reason,” Xu Chaomu rolled her eyes at him.

Despite this, she sat down across from him anyway.

“Who were you on the phone with just now?” she asked.

“It’s nothing,” he replied.

“Was it some beautiful girl with big eyes, long hair, talking all sweetly, swaying her waist back and forth?” Xu Chaomu rested her chin on her hands, looking at him.

“So what if it was?” Shen Chi replied.

“…” Xu Chaomu fell silent, he unexpectedly became serious and self-assured.

“Are you really full?” Shen Chi glanced up at her.

“Yeah, I’m full,” she responded.

“Then ask your tummy if the little one inside is full,” he said.

“He didn’t kick me, which means he’s very full. Back when we were in the cave and extremely hungry, he kept kicking me,” she said.

“That means he’s a little foodie,” he remarked.

“Don’t you dare speak ill of my baby!” she protested.

“…” Shen Chi held his forehead.

After a while, Shen Chi wasn’t in a hurry and finally finished his dinner, then sat and chatted with Xu Chaomu for a bit longer.

Xu Chaomu really couldn’t fathom his thoughts. Weren’t they supposed to be leaving? Yet he seemed in no rush at all, cradling his wine glass and silently savoring the wine.

The red wine twinkled with silver glints under the light, looking crystal clear with the reflection of the glass and the illumination.

As they talked, Xu Chaomu grew tired because she was the one speaking, while he just listened.

Although he occasionally said a few words, most of the time, he was just listening to her.

Talking non-stop can be very exhausting, really!

“Big Brother Four, are we just going to stay in the restaurant?” Xu Chaomu leaned on the table and stopped moving.

“Stay for now,” he said.

“Then can I sleep?” she asked.

“Why do you want to sleep again? Are you a pig?” Shen Chi frowned.

“Why are you insulting me again? Are you a pig’s husband?” Xu Chaomu retorted.

“…” Shen Chi was at a loss for words.

Xu Chaomu was triumphant; good, he was unable to respond.

After sitting for a while, even though Xu Chaomu felt sleepy, she couldn’t fall asleep and just sat there with Shen Chi.

Time ticked slowly away, and Xu Chaomu occasionally flipped through her phone. It was almost 8:30.

“Big Brother Four, can we go home and sit there, please?” Xu Chaomu was drenched in sweat.

Shen Chi didn’t speak; his gaze was locked on the wine glass that had one last sip of wine remaining.

He looked at the wine deeply for a moment, then suddenly tipped his head back and downed the last of the wine in the glass!

“Get in the car!” Shen Chi slapped the wine glass onto the table, stood up abruptly, grabbed the car keys from the table, and walked away from his seat.

“Hey, wait for me! Big Brother Four! Why are you leaving me high and dry!” Xu Chaomu chased after him.

He walked ahead while she chased behind him.

She had sat down just to keep him company, and now he was ready to leave without her.

As they reached the entrance of the restaurant, Shen Chi finally stopped.

After a good while, Xu Chaomu finally caught up.
