If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Let Her Go

Translator: 549690339

The tension between the two was becoming increasingly thick, just waiting for a spark to ignite.

The temperature in the living room seemed to drop several degrees, whooshing down.

Bai Man then pulled Shen Chi away, laughing, “Chaomu was just joking with you, don’t be mad.”

Shen Chi was very annoyed. He had raised her for eight years, doted on her for eight years, and this was how she repaid him. Wasn’t he good enough to her?

Asking for alms in the street… Heh, she actually had the nerve to say that. To those unaware, they might think Shen Chi treated her terribly.

“Go upstairs, and if you are unwilling to stay in the Shen Family, then move to the boarding school tomorrow! I don’t have to see you and save myself the annoyance!” Shen Chi really lost his patience.

The recording Bai Man had let him listen to before was still stuck in his mind.

“You think I want to see you,” Xu Chaomu said coldly with a glance at him. This man’s temper was getting worse. She had noticed from his behavior these past few days and had no idea whom he was annoyed with.

In any case, no matter who irritated him, the ultimate target of his anger was always her.

Neurotic.

“Chaomu, you also keep quiet and go to bed, it’s late, rest well, you still have classes tomorrow,” Bai Man tried to mediate as a peacemaker.

Actually, seeing Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu argue should have made her feel relieved. But for some reason, the more she watched, the more it felt like the two were arguing like a couple.

Because Shen Chi had never quarreled or gotten angry with her.

Without turning back, Xu Chaomu then ran up the stairs, “thump, thump, thump.”

So angry she lost her appetite, she went upstairs and with a “bang”, she shut the door to her room forcefully to express her anger.

Once in her room, she began packing her things.

So boarding school it is? Fine, that way she wouldn’t have to see him and be annoyed!

She bit her lip and started packing up all the clothes from the wardrobe, along with shoes, books, dolls…

The room filled with the sound of her bustling about, and after half an hour, she looked at the bulging rolling suitcase and felt satisfied.

It was already past nine o’clock in the evening, Xu Chaomu did her homework for a while before she covered herself with a blanket and went to sleep.

Moonlight spilled through the partially closed curtains, casting its glow onto Xu Chaomu’s bed and across the floor of the room. Light and shadow played delicately in the dimness.

The pink Rhododendron curtains were instantly tinged with a light shade of white by the moonlight.

The villa area was eerily silent, and at this time, it was extremely quiet.

However, Xu Chaomu couldn’t sleep.

Tossing and turning, her mind was haunted by images of Shen Chi and Bai Man cozy together, and the ring on his finger.

And then the news they gave her, that they were getting engaged on the eighth of next month.

Thinking of this made her cry.

No matter how strong she appeared in front of others or how tough she acted, at this moment, she cried without restraint.

Initially, it was a quiet sob, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably. Then, she covered herself with the blanket and cried out loud.

Now, with no one around, she could cry.

Cry however she liked.

It had been a long time since she had cried…

Moonlight continued to shine onto her bedside, lighting up her pillow, stained with tears…

The next morning, she was woken up by her alarm clock.

She had hoped everything was just a dream, but when she looked in the mirror and saw her own red, swollen eyes, she realized she had cried the night before. Suddenly, a man’s words echoed in her ear, “I can’t bear to see you cry…” Xu Chaomu sat stunned on her bed for a very long time.

It was always like this, he would say something and she would take it to heart.

When her petite figure dragged the heavy suitcase downstairs, Shen Chi was already gone.

There was breakfast on the table, her favorite cheese cake and sour milk, with a bottle of strawberry jam on the side.

She probably should feel grateful to him for at least not starving her, for at least giving her a bite to eat.

When Butler Ling saw Xu Chaomu dragging a large blue suitcase downstairs, he hurried over in shock.

“Miss, what are you doing?”

“Fourth Young Master said to start boarding at school from today,” Xu Chaomu was quite calm.

“Impossible, how could Fourth Young Master bear to let you board at school? Stop this nonsense, give me the suitcase, I’ll take it upstairs for you.”

After speaking, Butler Ling tried to take the suitcase from her hand.

He was well aware of the harsh conditions at the school. He had heard that the food in the cafeteria wasn’t good, and multiple students had to share one dorm room. They had to get up early to fetch water from the water room, and sometimes they couldn’t even get a shower at night.

Although Xu Chaomu had no blood ties to the Shen Family, Butler Ling knew she had never experienced such hardship.

Xu Chaomu guarded the suitcase: “Really, if you don’t believe me, you can ask him yourself.”

Butler Ling didn’t seem convinced, seeing Xu Chaomu wasn’t joking.

Xu Chaomu added, “Call him, please, and let Uncle Cheng drive me one last time. After that, it won’t be necessary.”

She lowered her eyelids, only looking at her rolling suitcase.

The suitcase was the one she had bought for a spring outing with her class. It had never been put to use and had just been sitting in her room.

Hurriedly, Butler Ling called Shen Chi.

“Fourth Young Master, are you really making Miss Xu move to school for boarding today?”

Shen Chi was sitting in the car on his way to the group, reviewing documents. He paused and said indifferently, “Yes.”

“So it’s true… Okay… I understand. Miss Xu has already packed her things and says she will leave in a while. But, Fourth Young Master, the school’s conditions are harsh. You really should…” Butler Ling said only half his sentence.

Shen Chi, impatiently, said, “Let her leave!”

“Yes, yes…” Butler Ling dared not continue. At times like this, she knew better than to go any further, or Fourth Young Master would get angry.

She might as well have watched Shen Chi grow up, she knew him very well.

After hanging up, Butler Ling came back and said to Xu Chaomu: “If you miss home after you get to school, call me. If the food in the cafeteria is bad, I’ll bring you some. Don’t put up with less, okay…”

“Mm, I know. Butler, thank you.”

“Sigh… You’ve never even washed your clothes at home, how will you manage at school,” sighed Butler Ling.

Butler Ling knew, once Xu Chaomu became stubborn, she was really a match for Fourth Young Master.

These two, on the surface one was aloof, the other cheerful, but at the core both were equally stubborn. If they ever really got into a huge argument, they might end up never dealing with each other again.

“I’ll learn, I have to learn how to do everything, the Shen Family won’t support me forever.

“Miss Xu, don’t be mad at Fourth Young Master, he really can’t bear to send you to board at school, the conditions are so poor there.”

“I think it’s quite good, besides, what’s it to him what I bear,” said Xu Chaomu lightly.

Butler Ling didn’t know about the recent events, of course, she was clueless.

Like the night before last, when Shen Chi dragged her into the car, the look in his eyes was as if he wanted to devour her! And last night, in front of Bai Man, he made her unable to defend herself.

“Miss Xu, why don’t you call Fourth Young Master yourself? Say something nice to him, and he’ll soften up,” suggested Butler Ling.
