If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 835: Chapter 835: The young couple’s fancy display of affection

“Ouch, ouch, ouch, gentle.” Yu Weiwei took a deep breath.

“Hang in there, it’ll be fine in a moment.” Xu Chaomu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with an alcohol swab.

“Right, next time you see Li Beiting’s mom, just ignore her.” Xu Chaomu said, “You have your own life, what does she have to do with you?”

“It’s really unfair, I didn’t say a single word and got slapped.” Yu Weiwei held her forehead.

Xu Chaomu chuckled, “It’s okay, it’s okay, there won’t be a next time. But, Li Beiting must be heartbroken.”

“You can’t tell him.” Yu Weiwei said.

“I understand.” Xu Chaomu said.

It was just like the time when Zhou Ran hit her, she didn’t dare let Shen Chi know, fearing it would distract him.

“Chaomu, when are you going for your prenatal checkup? Let’s go together. You used to say I should have a bun in the oven to keep you company, ironically, it happened just as you said.”

“How’s the little one in your belly behaving?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“Pretty active. I’ve been vomiting a lot recently, I don’t even want to eat.” Yu Weiwei said helplessly.

“It’s always like that in the beginning, it’ll get better gradually. I was vomiting a lot at that time too.”

“Where’s Shen Chi?” Yu Weiwei looked around.

“Working.” Xu Chaomu said, “He’s been very busy recently, sometimes he doesn’t even come back on weekends.”

“Well, then I guess I’m still lucky, at least, Li Beiting is now in my office, all I have to do is supervise his work.”

“He really listens to you, but you know Shen Chi, he never listens to me.” Xu Chaomu pouted.

“Li Beiting has no choice, he has nowhere else to go, so he can only stay at my place. But I’m not too bad to him, I’ve started paying him a salary.”

“How much?”

“Five thousand… a month.” Yu Weiwei giggled.

Xu Chaomu’s eye twitched, and she looked at Yu Weiwei with disdain, “What, he doesn’t hate you?”

“He wouldn’t dare.”

Okay, Xu Chaomu had to admit, Yu Weiwei had won.

Five thousand a month, she really had the cheek to offer that, Li Beiting probably hated her guts. For a top-tier talent like Li Beiting to take a monthly salary of five thousand, it could only be true love.

The two sat on the couch chatting, and since they were both pregnant, they suddenly had a lot more to talk about.

Before they knew it, it was time for lunch, Xu Chaomu invited Yu Weiwei to stay for a meal with the Shen Family, and Yu Weiwei agreed.

Just as all the dishes were served, Shen Chi came back.

Upon entering, Shen Chi saw Yu Weiwei, who greeted him, “President Shen.”

“Hmm.” Shen Chi didn’t say much and took off his black trench coat.

It had been a long time since Yu Weiwei had seen Shen Chi, she mused inwardly, still as aloof as ever.

She wondered if Shen Chi was also like this when with Xu Chaomu, how boring that must be.

Xu Chaomu stood up from the couch with a smile, “You’re back.”

Shen Chi quickly went forward to support her, frowning, “Did you have breakfast? What time did you get up?”

“I didn’t sleep in, I swear, I didn’t! If I slept in, let Dabai turn into Wealth, and Wealth into Dabai!” Xu Chaomu said.

She grabbed his hand, letting him escort her to the dining table.

“…” Shen Chi’s mouth twitched slightly.

“Hehe.” Xu Chaomu, seeing he had stopped talking, laughed triumphantly.

Shen Chi helped her sit properly, and then seated himself beside her.

Yu Weiwei sat opposite Xu Chaomu, watching the two of them.

Yikes, she wondered if she was being a third wheel as the couple ate their meal. So Yu Weiwei bowed her head and ate in silence.

But, one has to look up when eating. Accidentally, she caught sight of the couple’s public displays of affection.

“Eat more of this bone.” Shen Chi served Xu Chaomu a tasty piece of bone.

Xu Chaomu smiled and said, “When will you cook for me by hand?”

“I haven’t had time recently.”

Yu Weiwei pondered. Shen Chi said he didn’t have time recently. Could it be that he had actually cooked for Xu Chaomu before?

Tsk tsk, absolutely unimaginable—that such an aloof man would cook, and to do it personally.

“Then I’ll ask you to cook tonight, and you’ll say you don’t have time? I just want to eat what you make. What should I do?” Xu Chaomu deliberately tilted her small face up to look at him.

“Tonight… perhaps we could do something else.” Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.

“…” Xu Chaomu blushed, damn it, Yu Weiwei was still here.

Yu Weiwei covered her face and quickly bowed her head to eat, posing as if “I didn’t hear anything” and “I’m just passing by.”

Xu Chaomu decided that she should restrain herself today and stop talking to Shen Chi, that beast, or she’d lose all face.

However, what surprised Yu Weiwei even more was that Xu Chaomu almost didn’t need to lift a finger throughout the entire meal, right?

“Honey, I want that one.” Xu Chaomu pointed to a certain dish.

“Hmm,” responded Shen Chi, and he would pick it up for her.

“Honey, I want some soup.”

“Hmm,” responded Shen Chi again, and he would serve it to her.

Yu Weiwei watched in amazement. She felt like she’d found a new way to torture Li Beiting. She truly hadn’t expected Shen Chi to be so good to Xu Chaomu. This Shen Chi was nothing like the high and mighty one from outside.

In the eyes of others, including her own, Shen Chi was indifferent, scheming, decisive, and rarely smiled. She just hadn’t expected to witness another side of him.

“Honey, this isn’t tasty. You eat it.” Xu Chaomu took a bite of the fish ball, didn’t find it to her liking, and pulled all that were left in the bowl towards him.

Shen Chi looked disgusted: “Eat it yourself.”

“It’s not tasty, yet you ask me to eat it. Do you have a grudge against me?” Xu Chaomu mumbled.

“I’m not eating it either,” Shen Chi said.

“You said it, we can’t waste food.” Xu Chaomu looked at him.

“Not eating,” Shen Chi insisted.

She gave him the untasty stuff to eat, but how come when it was something delicious, she didn’t see her giving that to him?

Xu Chaomu’s eyes spun cunningly, and she picked up a fish ball and stuffed it into Shen Chi’s mouth, huffing, “You’ll eat it, even if you don’t want to.”

“…”

“Eat it up,” Xu Chaomu ordered.

“…”

“Hmm, that’s right.”

Shen Chi had no choice but to eat it. Oh well, why not? It was fed by her hand after all. Besides, it wasn’t that bad—the taste was okay.

Yu Weiwei’s expression was like this: “…”

She was increasingly feeling like a third wheel, damn, was it really okay to be this showy with affection?

The key point was, Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu’s display of affection felt perfectly natural.

She originally thought Shen Chi was so serious, that any gentleness from him would be awkward, yet it turned out to be as normal as could be.

Halfway through the meal, Shen Chi asked again, “How’s the little one in the belly behaving today?”

“Today, I taught him to say ‘mommy.'” Xu Chaomu said.

“…” Shen Chi was speechless.

“I think, when he’s born, the first thing he’ll call out will definitely be ‘mommy’ me,” Xu Chaomu declared proudly.

“…”

“But don’t worry, I’ll teach him to say ‘daddy’ too,” Xu Chaomu consoled him.
