If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Going to See the Kids’ Father
 

Shen Chi caressed Xu Chaomu’s waist, noting that this girl seemed to have really put on quite a bit of weight lately.

But she used to be too skinny; it’s better to be a bit plumper, feels nice to the touch.

Shen Chi hugged her for a while, and when she felt hot, she pushed against his chest.

“Shen Chi, aren’t you hot?” Xu Chaomu complained.

“Not hot.”

“I’m hot, let go.”

“Won’t let go.”

What’s there to be hot about? The air conditioning in the car is still on; it’s obviously just an excuse.

Helpless, Xu Chaomu could only lie in this man’s arms, allowing his strong arms to envelop her.

She remembered that his arm was injured and he had held her for a long time tonight; doesn’t it hurt?

But as soon as she thought of him rummaging through her things without her permission, she found him detestable and didn’t feel any sympathy.

His hand glided over her waist, gently stroking her smooth, silky black hair.

Such a summer night was exceptionally peaceful. And she was exceptionally beautiful.

Soon, Xiao Mo took a turn and drove onto a very quiet road.

It was already past four in the morning at this time, and soon, the first light of dawn would appear in the sky. The surroundings were very quiet; this road was the one leading to Waterside Pavilion.

The lights shaped like jade pendant flowers emitted a soft glow, the light pouring onto the road like milk.

With the light from outside the car, Shen Chi gazed at Xu Chaomu.

She was tightly embraced by him now, unable to move, yet he still saw the blush on her face.

Just now, he teased her, probably making her face turn red.

With such willpower, when she first returned to C City, she even dared to lie to him, saying she had been to bed with many men.

Continuing down this road and moving forward, finally, Xiao Mo took a turn at an intersection.

The car stopped.

This is Waterside Pavilion, exquisitely beautiful.

In front of the door were undulating fountains, splashing out sparkling water that fell to the ground like pearls of white jade.

In front of Waterside Pavilion stood vintage copper lamps, each emitting soft light.

“Mr. Shen, we’ve arrived,” Xiao Mo said softly as a reminder.

“Mm.”

Having not slept all night, and coupled with the fatigue from recent meetings, Shen Chi felt a headache coming on.

At the moment, he knitted his brows, yet his face still maintained calm and composure; he reached out and opened the car door.

The brightness flooded into the car, and Xu Chaomu also looked up; they had arrived at Waterside Pavilion.

It had been five years since she had visited this place. Although her memories of here weren’t numerous, thinking back now, they were warm and sweet.

Back then, under the moonlight, he had placed a jade pendant necklace around her neck, whispering close to her ear, “I promise you a lifetime, morning and evening.”

At that time, she didn’t understand; after all, he was about to get engaged to Bai Man.

She vividly remembered the most painful moment in her heart was the time she went with Bai Man to try on wedding dresses.

Bai Man received a text message; it was from Shen Chi, saying “I love you.”

To this day, she still hadn’t confirmed the authenticity of that message with him.

It should be fake, right? After all, later on, even Bai Man’s pregnancy was a lie to her.

“What are you thinking about?”

Shen Chi had already gotten out of the car and stretched out his hand.

Xu Chaomu dodged his hand and got out of the car by herself, leaning on the door.

Shen Chi’s outstretched hand remained midair, and he smiled helplessly as Xiao Mo snickered at the side.

Only Xu Chaomu dared to refuse Shen Chi, not once but time and again.

After Xu Chaomu got out, Xiao Mo immediately climbed back into the driver’s seat.

“Xiao Mo!” Xu Chaomu came back to her senses; no, she was supposed to leave.

She said she wouldn’t go to Waterside Pavilion with Shen Chi!

Xiao Mo felt that the wisest decision right now was to step on the gas and leave immediately.

“Hey, Xiao Mo!” Xu Chaomu was anxious.

But, Xiao Mo drove the car away quickly, and in a short while, even the shadow was out of sight.

Shen Chi grasped her wrist, preventing her from chasing after the car.

“Alright, Mumu, let’s go home!”

“Who’s going home with you! This is not my home! Shen Chi, let go of me, stop pulling and tugging,” Xu Chaomu said angrily.

Under the streetlight, because of her agitation, her little face turned bright red.

The moment she said that, Shen Chi actually let go of her hand.

He crossed his arms and watched her with a leisurely demeanor.

Xu Chaomu was startled for a moment, and she touched her slightly sore wrist from being grabbed.

Waterside Pavilion was quite secluded and very quiet.

Now that it was past four in the morning, the night breeze blew against her; she was out of options; surely she couldn’t just stand outside for hours.

If this were the past, she could easily stand for several hours; no, she could walk back.

But now, she was constantly reminded that she was pregnant.

However, she had said she wouldn’t go back with him, and tonight, he had indeed been a bit too much.

Teasing her, making fun of her, even snatching her things.

“Not going back?” Shen Chi frowned and asked her again.

The night breeze was blowing, and his head hurt. During those five years, every time he had a headache, he would get irritable.

In the past, he would often break quite a few things when he had a headache.

Since Xu Chaomu returned, he rarely had headaches. But now, his brows were deeply furrowed.

“Apologize to me,” Xu Chaomu said coolly.

She stood under the streetlight, looking up at him with a defiant face.

She had made a concession; it was his turn to show sincerity.

“Then, about buying medicine for another man, aren’t you going to explain that to me?” Shen Chi countered.

“What’s wrong with buying medicine? A friend got sick, so I bought some medicine to send him; is there a problem?”

If he wouldn’t budge, she wouldn’t be blamed for doing the same.

Today, it was clearly his fault.

“Which friend? A boyfriend?” Shen Chi’s voice chilled.

His face darkened on the spot, an icy chill emanating from him, making the air around several degrees colder.

“Yes, Nie Chenglang,” Xu Chaomu retorted with a cold look.

Neither would give in, and the tension between them escalated.

“No wonder you dressed up so nicely today,” Shen Chi sneered.

He eyed her up and down a few times. She did look exceptionally beautiful tonight in a floor-length pink dress. The dress wasn’t excessively decorated, but it was natural and graceful.

Xu Chaomu, in this dress, took on additional warmth and softness.

Now, with the gentle light casting upon her, she appeared even more tranquil and endearing.

Her beautiful eyes stubbornly met his gaze, her long lashes fluttering, defiance filling her pupils.

Just like when she was a little girl, every time she argued with him, she would raise her head to look at him.

Upon hearing his words, she trembled slightly with anger.

“Meeting a boyfriend, shouldn’t I dress nicely? You should know this very well, Mr. Shen. All those women who want to climb into your bed – aren’t each one of them lavishly dressed and strikingly beautiful?”

“So, you dressed up so beautifully because you also want to climb into a man’s bed?”

“Yes, I’m going to see the child’s father, is that a problem?”

The moment she said this, Shen Chi, who had been without much anger, now boiled with rage.
