If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 446: How Many Loved Ones Do You Have

“`

Shen Chi was extremely jealous, but she had never told him about love lasting forever, until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled.

“Friends are just friends,” said Xu Chaomu, rolling her eyes at him.

Such a petty man.

She still hadn’t gotten over the anger from last time, and these past few days, she had been cold to him.

On top of that, he seemed especially busy these days; by the time he came back at night, she was already asleep, and when she got up in the morning, he had already gone to the company.

There hadn’t been much interaction between them these days, and they had hardly spoken a few words.

This man was naturally stubborn, so she thought he wouldn’t take the initiative to apologize to her.

Even if he did apologize, tsk, tsk, he’d write a card that required a magnifying glass to read, tsk, tsk.

There wasn’t a shred of sincerity.

“And you just had to take a clean shower for someone to tease you?” Shen Chi said with indifferent sarcasm.

He sat down next to her, right up close to her, yet she had never taken a clean shower for him to tease her.

Xu Chaomu sensed a dangerous signal from this man and quickly moved further away from him.

As soon as she moved to the side, he moved closer.

When there was no place left to move to, Shen Chi leisurely looked at her, his stern face bearing the large words “Let’s see where you can hide.”

“Try shifting again,” Shen Chi said with a bland voice that carried a warning in every word.

“Annoying,” murmured Xu Chaomu, turning her gaze away indignantly.

“What friend? What video?” Shen Chi pressed on.

He had heard these few sentences just as he pushed the door open a moment ago.

Xu Chaomu felt a tug at her heart. Had he heard everything?

Thankfully, she hadn’t said anything just then.

“Why do you care about my friends?”

Xu Chaomu casually picked up a magazine from the sofa and tore out a page.

She silently tore the paper, piece by piece, as if she was tearing Shen Chi apart, and she did it with glee.

“Scratch,” “scratch,” the only sound in the spacious living room was her tearing paper.

“Are you trying to reach the heavens?” said Shen Chi with a frosty tone.

“Mind your own business!”

Xu Chaomu, now furious, threw the pieces of magazine into the air, scattering them all over him.

After throwing them, she felt much more relieved.

“Xu Chaomu, you!” Shen Chi was not lightly angered, brushing off the fragments from his body.

“What about me? I’m talking on the phone with my friend, does it concern you?” Xu Chaomu replied, annoyed.

“How many ‘dear’ friends do you have? You sure sound sweet,” Shen Chi asked coldly.

“Jealous? Admit you’re jealous, and I’ll tell you.”

“What jealousy? Xu Chaomu, don’t push your luck.”

Xu Chaomu hated this man’s arrogant refusal to admit his feelings, so she stood up and left the sofa.

“Where are you going?”

“To sleep.”

“Have you eaten?”

“Seeing you fills me up.”

“You stop right there.”

“Shen Chi!” Xu Chaomu turned around, “Are you looking for a fight again? Are you upset about something that happened at the company or did your mistress make you angry? Did you come back to take it out on me?”

Xu Chaomu’s anger from a few days ago had not yet subsided, and seeing his attitude now, she became even more enraged.

“Think about the child in your womb if you don’t want to eat!”

“My child doesn’t need you to care!”

“You think I want to? This child has nothing to do with me, Shen Chi! Just don’t come crying when you have to abort the baby because you can’t keep up with the nutrition!”

“What do you mean, Shen Chi? Are you so eager for my child to be gone? I’m telling you, no matter what, I will never have a child with you! So think it over, if you want a divorce, do it sooner rather than later.”

“Xu Chaomu, you’re being unreasonable!” Shen Chi was also provoked to anger.

He was clearly trying to look out for her and her child, but in her eyes, he had become an unforgivably wicked person.

“My mood is good today, girl, and I don’t feel like arguing with you.”

Xu Chaomu pouted and turned to head upstairs.

But what good mood could she possibly be in?

“Come back down here!” Shen Chi commanded sternly.

Her refusal to eat when upset would surely affect the health of the child.

But her words “I will never have a child with you” pierced him like a needle straight to the heart.

Even if he treated the child as his own, she didn’t want to bear him one in the future.

Xu Chaomu wouldn’t listen, of course. If she came down just because he asked, it would look like she had no dignity.

Besides, it had been him causing all the unreasonable trouble these last few days, and now he was accusing her of being unreasonable.

It was like he was the king of being unreasonable—a most unreasonable arrival at an unreasonable home!

Such a shameless man!

Xu Chaomu kept walking towards the staircase, ignoring him, but Shen Chi strode over and grabbed her hand!

Their fingers interlocked, his grip was always domineering.

He dragged her over to the dining table.

He pressed a button, and had the butler Ling bring up their meal.

Soon after, Butler Ling arrived.

Seeing Butler Ling, Xu Chaomu’s eyes blinked, and she felt reassured.

Butler Ling had said he would be on her side.

“Fourth Young Master, Madam Four, enjoy your meal,” Butler Ling said as he placed the food on the table.

“Hmm,” Shen Chi gave no expression, his face wearing a look of indifference.

However, that man’s hand was still clamped around Xu Chaomu, preventing her from moving.

Tug, tug, tug.

Xu Chaomu tugged hard, damn it, to no avail.

So, Xu Chaomu mustered a feeling of being wronged and grabbed Butler Ling’s arm with her other hand.

Her watery, large eyes stared at Butler Ling, at that moment, Xu Chaomu couldn’t have looked more pitiful, innocent, and heart-wrenchingly adorable.

“Butler Ling, he hit me,” Xu Chaomu hinted at Shen Chi with her eyes.

“You!” Shen Chi was caught off guard, wearing a face as if he’d been cursed.

Butler Ling got the message at once. The Fourth Young Master would never hit Xu Chaomu; clearly, the two were in an argument.

It seems this time, Xu Chaomu hadn’t won the argument against Shen Chi?

Xu Chaomu sniffed, her voice choked with emotion.

“What happened, what happened? Fourth Young Master, how could you hit Chaomu? Where did you hit her? Let me see,” Butler Ling cooed her.

“Xu Chaomu, you…”

“He slapped me,” she said, pointing at her right cheek, cutting Shen Chi off before he could speak.

Underneath the table, since Shen Chi wouldn’t let go, she pinched his hand with her fingers.

Shen Chi’s face turned dark. That little wretch, he thought, just wait until he gets his chance, he’ll have her crying for her parents.

“Oh dear, let’s have a look, her skin is so delicate, how could you hit it. Let me see, let me see,” said Butler Ling, bending down to check Xu Chaomu’s cheek, of course, there was nothing to see.

“Does it look bruised? Does it look bad?” Xu Chaomu sobbed.

“Oh my, her cheek is red. Fourth Young Master, how hard did you hit her? Why did you have another fight with Chaomu? Though couples might fight, you mustn’t get physical! The moment you do, it damages the relationship too much,” Butler Ling advised.

Xu Chaomu cast her eyes down, looking like a little white rabbit that had been mistreated.

Damn it, Shen Chi’s stern face grew even darker.

“Butler Ling, will I be disfigured? It hurts a lot,” she said.

“It’s alright, it’s alright, I’ll rub it for you,” comforted Butler Ling.
