If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 336: Chapter 336: It’s Not Like I Haven’t Touched it Before

“Of course, I want to see Butler Ling, but if he doesn’t apologize to me, I’m leaving! If he apologizes, I will go see Butler Ling. The multiple-choice question is for him to decide!”

Xu Chaomu retaliated, pointing her finger at Shen Chi.

Old Cheng was really choked up. Five years had passed, and Xu Chaomu was still the same, always at odds with Shen Chi.

In this world, probably no one else dared to be at odds with Shen Chi except for Xu Chaomu.

“Fine, Xu Chaomu, let’s see how many steps you can take.”

Shen Chi was not someone to be threatened by others; he knew Xu Chaomu’s biggest weakness now was that child!

In the past, she could whimsically climb walls and leave on a whim, but now, he’d like to see how she could possibly leave!

Old Cheng understood the meaning behind Shen Chi’s words and stopped talking.

Shen Chi walked out of the garage without looking back.

“Bastard!” Xu Chaomu clenched her teeth!

“Miss Xu, you should get out of the car. President Shen won’t do anything to you. He’s tough on the outside but soft on the inside, don’t take it to heart. Say a few nice words, and he’ll naturally smile.”

“Uncle Cheng, don’t try to persuade me. I’m leaving. I shouldn’t have come today.”

Xu Chaomu didn’t believe that both Shen Chi and Old Cheng could be so heartless.

Having said that, she got out of the car and, without looking back, walked away from the garage toward the Shen Family’s main gate.

After five years away, she still knew which direction the main gate of the Shen Family was.

“Miss Xu, don’t be rash. You’re carrying a child, don’t joke around with the child’s life.”

“I’m not being rash,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.

Just as Shen Chi was about to walk into the Shen Family’s living room, he looked back and saw Xu Chaomu actually daring to run away.

Xu Chaomu, you’re really something.

“Miss Xu, if you hurt the child, you’re going to regret it.” Old Cheng ran up to her and tried to persuade her.

“Don’t worry, my child is not that delicate,” Xu Chaomu said unheeding, “I think he also doesn’t want to see certain people’s cold faces.”

Old Cheng was at a loss, so he had no choice but to run to Shen Chi’s side: “President Shen, please talk to Miss Xu, this is no joking matter.”

“If she wants to play games with her child, let her be, what does that have to do with me? I would rather her child didn’t exist!”

Old Cheng didn’t know what to say. Of course, Shen Chi didn’t have much affection for that child in his heart.

What man could be that generous.

But…

While they were talking, Xu Chaomu had already run out of the Shen Family’s property; the further she went, the angrier she became.

At that moment, Old Cheng suddenly thought of Lady Shen, and he became agitated, urging Shen Chi, “President Shen, think about Lady Shen. She miscarried a child back then, which left her uterine wall too thin, and she hasn’t conceived since. If Miss Xu…”

Indeed, Old Cheng saw Shen Chi’s fists slowly clench.

“Please reconsider,” Old Cheng said.

“Becoming more and more indiscernible!” Shen Chi dropped a cold remark.

Having said that, he strode towards the Shen Family’s main gate.

Xu Chaomu had already walked fifty meters away, moving slowly with one hand constantly on her belly.

The blinding sun hung in the sky, and not far into her walk, Xu Chaomu’s forehead began to glisten with sweat.

“Baby, were you frightened? Don’t be afraid, Mommy will protect you,” Xu Chaomu said, looking down.

“Baby, shall Mommy tell you a story?”

“Once upon a time, there was an old and ugly monk on a mountain who had eyes for a girl in the village below. The girl, ah, she was as beautiful as flowers… Hey, hey, what are you doing, let go…”

Xu Chaomu was enthusiastically telling the story when her collar was suddenly grabbed.

“Come home with me!” a voice declared, its owner sporting a dark expression.

“I’m not going back!”

“Getting bold, are we? You really think I can’t deal with you?”

“How are you going to ‘treat’ me? With insecticide or disinfectant?”

“Do you believe that I…”

“What do I believe? That you’ve been deceiving me for a whole eight years?” Xu Chaomu interrupted him, raising her head to look at him.

Shen Chi was caught off guard by her bringing up the past, and he was suddenly at a loss for words.

“You fool me once, I’ll never believe you again for the rest of my life. Because, I trusted you wholeheartedly, yet you used all your might to deceive me.”

Xu Chaomu sneered and shook off his hand.

“I had my difficulties,” Shen Chi said helplessly.

“Difficulties are just excuses,” Xu Chaomu replied coldly, “Don’t blame me for bringing up the past, I only hope we can stay far away from each other in the future. I can’t climb up to you, I’m not worthy of you. I’ve long realized that, I was delusional before, and I’ve paid the price for my youth and ignorance. From now on, it won’t happen again.”

“Do we really have to come to this?”

“No, I said before, let’s sit down and have a good talk. In the future, my child can still call you ‘Uncle Four,’ and your child can still call me ‘Auntie.’ We won’t be too stiff with each other.”

“Are you determined to marry someone else?”

“I just want to live a peaceful life. I can’t reach your circle.”

“Alright, stop being mad. Didn’t you want me to apologize? Isn’t it enough that I apologize to you?”

“Your attitude is really bad,” Xu Chaomu glanced at him and sneered.

“You! Xu Chaomu, you’re pushing your luck!” Shen Chi was angry.

“I am pushing my luck, so what? You unhappy now?”

“Fine, I was wrong, I apologize to you. I shouldn’t have said those things to you today. Whatever the wife says is right.”

“Who’s your wife? Look at you, there’s no sincerity in your apology. Have you never apologized before? Proud Shen Si Shao [Fourth Young Master Shen], you… Hey, what are you doing, put me down!”

“You talk too much!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Chi frowned and scooped her up in his arms!

“A gentleman uses his tongue, a villain uses his fists. You start using force because you can’t win an argument, are you even a man?”

“You can have a feel and see if I’m a man,” he said.

This man, when it came to dirty jokes, was always unaffected.

When making such remarks, he was as solemn as if reading a news bulletin, utterly serious and straight-faced.

“Shameless to the extreme!”

“You’ve touched me before, why blush?”

“Get lost, will you!” Xu Chaomu exploded.

“Lost? Rolling in the sheets?”

“Get lost, you jerk!”

“Oh, so it’s still rolling with you.”

Compared to being shameless, Xu Chaomu always felt she was still reserved.

Soon, Shen Chi carried Xu Chaomu back to the Shen Family home.

Seeing this, Old Cheng finally walked away with ease.

In his eyes, there was nothing Shen Chi couldn’t handle, including Xu Chaomu—it was just a matter of time.

Old Cheng had just left when Butler Ling rushed over from the kitchen in a hurry.

She didn’t even know that Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu had returned!

As soon as she entered the living room, she caught sight of Xu Chaomu!

Tears swooshed out, “Miss Xu, is that you? Is it really you?”

Xu Chaomu hurried forward: “Butler Ling, it’s me.”

“Girl, why didn’t you come back for five years? Do you know how much I’ve missed you?” Butler Ling quietly wiped away a tear.
