If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 550: Where Is the Fourth Young Master’s Grandma?

“No problem, you take good care of yourself too,” Yu Weiwei glanced at Xu Chaomu.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry,” Xu Chaomu chuckled.

The two of them walked ahead, and it had been a while since Xu Chaomu had seen Yu Weiwei. Understandably, they had a lot to talk about.

“Chaomu,” Yu Weiwei took a few steps forward, lowering her voice, “How’s your baby?”

“Quite well, the doctor said that as long as we keep up the regular exercise and diet, it’ll be fine.”

“That… being with Shen Chi, has he been giving you a hard time?” Yu Weiwei hesitated.

She figured Xu Chaomu should know what she meant.

Xu Chaomu cocked her head. Had Shen Chi been giving her trouble? Did his arrogance count? What about his jealousy?!

“He’s great, gentle and considerate, looks after people, attentive, thorough…” Xu Chaomu rambled on.

Yu Weiwei rolled her eyes. She would have believed anyone else, but Shen Chi, not a chance.

Ah, the imperious man being gentle and considerate?

Well, okay, Xu Chaomu didn’t believe it herself. She couldn’t continue the charade.

Yu Weiwei got closer and asked in a soft voice, “What about Chenglang? What’s he going to do? And what about your baby? Who will he recognize as his father in the future?”

At this moment, Xu Chaomu thought of Shen Chi, and it made her angry. Not only did he ignore her out of jealousy, but he also locked her in the car for a long time.

So, Xu Chaomu said irritably, “I’ll tell him that his dad went to explore planets in outer space.”

“Would Shen Chi agree?” Yu Weiwei chuckled lightly. Knowing the domineering man, he would definitely want Xu Chaomu’s child to call him “Dad.”

“What’s there to disagree about? It’s courtesy for my baby to even call him ‘Uncle Four,'” Xu Chaomu replied irritably.

“Uncle Four?” Yu Weiwei burst into laughter, then after a moment’s thought, nodded her head, “That’s not a bad idea.”

“Hehe, you think it’s good too, right?”

“Yeah, let’s go with that.”

The two women continued on their way, chatting and laughing happily.

Yu Weiwei temporarily forgot about the trouble from the morning, and together with Xu Chaomu, they left the hospital by elevator.

…

After Shen Chi left Xu Chaomu halfway, he returned to the Shen Family home alone.

When the butler came to open the car door for Shen Chi, he didn’t see Xu Chaomu and curiously asked, “Fourth Young Master, where’s the Fourth Young Madam?”

Shen Chi didn’t answer, walking into the Shen Family living room with a dark face.

“Uh…” The butler didn’t dare to ask further, quickly following behind Shen Chi.

Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu hadn’t been back to the Shen Family for some days, apparently living at the Waterside Pavilion.

Could that young couple possibly get along well? He guessed that they were probably having temper tantrums every other day…

As Shen Chi walked from the garage to the living room, halfway there he looked up and just happened to see Shen Shihan coming out from the western wing.

One hand in his trouser pocket, Shen Shihan stopped walking as Shen Chi approached.

Eyes meeting, a chilling airflow brushed through the hot atmosphere!

The stare between them uncompromising, the air was extremely tense.

Luckily, the path was wide enough to pass without the need for either to sidestep.

Shen Chi gave Shen Shihan a cold glance, then resumed walking toward the living room, brushing past him.

Throughout, Shen Chi didn’t exchange a single word with Shen Shihan.

The butler, following behind Shen Chi, bowed and murmured a greeting, “Third Young Master.”

Shen Shihan, too, remained silent. As Shen Chi passed by, he felt a strong presence and pressure.

A cold smirk curled upon his lips, and he continued toward the garage.

“Shihan!”

Shen Shihan had only taken a few steps when Mo Shuifu caught up with him.

She was dressed in a light green floral long dress, carrying a handbag. Probably because she wore high heels, she fell behind.

She called out and was about to catch up when she unexpectedly ran into Shen Chi.

With a slight smile, she greeted him, “Fourth Young Master.”

Shen Shihan didn’t turn around, but he heard her, a hint of displeasure in his brow. He stood waiting for her to approach.

Mo Shuifu walked up to him, “Shihan, let’s go.”

“Mhm,” Shen Shihan responded curtly.

Together, they headed for the garage. Under the sunlight, they looked like the perfect couple—a tall, handsome man by the side of a demure and beautiful woman, side by side, seeming even more suited to each other than the paired swallows on a roof beam.

Shen Chi continued walking forward, but the butler whispered, “The Third Young Master and his wife came back to get things. It seems they won’t be staying at the Shen Family home much longer.”

Shen Chi remained silent.

The butler sighed regretfully, “The Third Young Madam has such a pleasant temperament. I really like her. The Third Young Master has lived here for so many years, and now they’re moving out. It’s a bit hard to get used to.”

The Shen Family of the past, brimming with life, prosperous and thriving. Over the years, one by one, they all moved away.

A tear glistened in the butler’s eye. Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran separated, Liu Rumei left, and now, the Third Young Master and his wife are unlikely to return.

Later, Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu would also move to the Waterside Pavilion, leaving the vast Shen Family residence to just the flowers and plants, lonely and desolate.

“We won’t be leaving,” Shen Chi finally said matter-of-factly.

Here, he had one precious memory after another with Xu Chaomu.

Her youthfulness, bubbly and adorable, often following him around, repeatedly calling “Brother Four,” “Brother Four”…

Hearing Shen Chi’s words, the butler’s spirits lifted somewhat, his dearest was Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu after all.

In the garage, Shen Shihan took the driver’s seat, and Mo Shuifu settled into the passenger’s side.

She placed everything on the back seat, glanced at Shen Shihan and said with a smile, “All set.”

“Mhm,” Shen Shihan started the car emotionlessly and drove out of the Shen Family estate.

Mo Shuifu didn’t have many memories of the Shen Family home because after marrying Shen Shihan, she seldom visited. Shen Shihan didn’t want her to, so she didn’t.

However, now that five years had passed and Xu Chaomu had returned, she felt a touch of reluctance to part with Xu Chaomu.

As Shen Shihan drove, Mo Shuifu browsed through a photo album.

This album, which she discovered while tidying the western wing, was quite old.

The photos at the very front had yellowed over time.

Most were portraits of Liu Rumei and Shen Yanrou together, with Shen Yanrou’s arms around Liu Rumei, mother and daughter looking happy.

Shen Shihan’s photos were few, and always with a stern face, he never smiled.

She discovered that Shen Shihan didn’t like smiling even as a child.

However, Mo Shuifu couldn’t help but laugh when she saw photos of Shen Shihan as a child.

So this is what he looked like as a child.

If, five years ago, her child hadn’t been miscarried, he or she would have been five years old now, probably looking a lot like the Shen Shihan in the photos…
