If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Slept Together Last Night
“I don’t need Nie heir to teach me how to treat my own wife!”

“But have you ever asked Chaomu what she thinks? Does she want to follow you? And the baby in her stomach, can you treat them wholeheartedly?”

“That’s between me and her.”

Nie Chenglang’s eyes suddenly became stern, “Do you think, Chaomu can get over that hurdle in her heart?”

Shen Chi was silent; he was very clear about the so-called hurdle Nie Chenglang mentioned.

“To let herself be with the son of the man who killed her mother, can she do it?” Nie Chenglang asked back.

Can she do it? Shen Chi didn’t know. The confidence that was there on normal days was gone at this moment.

He really didn’t know.

After all, life and death are big matters. And Xu Chaomu, she loved her mother so much.

“So, President Shen, you should think it over carefully. Nie and Chaomu, we’re about to get engaged soon, and I hope you won’t obstruct us anymore,” Nie Chenglang said.

“Don’t even think about it,” Shen Chi retorted dominantly.

Although he couldn’t make Xu Chaomu forget those past events, it didn’t mean he would let go.

Shen Chi stood up and walked towards the door.

“Do you plan to keep Chaomu from seeing me?” Nie Chenglang also stood up.

“Depends on my mood!” Shen Chi left those words behind and walked out of the café, his tone cold.

This conversation with Nie Chenglang didn’t go in Shen Chi’s favor. Whenever Zhou Ran and Xu Mengxi’s matter was mentioned, his heart felt like it was being hit by a stone, unable to settle down.

Didn’t Xu Chaomu leave him for five years because of this?

No matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t alter this fact!

He strode towards his car, opened the passenger door, and said to Mr. Cheng, “Drive, to the corporation!”

“Yes, President Shen.” Mr. Cheng didn’t dare delay a second, sitting up straight the moment he received Shen Chi’s command.

He started the car and drove away from the café.

As they were leaving, Mr. Cheng glanced outside the window and saw Nie Chenglang standing at the entrance, his expression one of helplessness.

Mr. Cheng guessed Nie Chenglang was pretty angry. Whenever Shen Chi talked with his rival, he always managed to crush the opposition.

Nevertheless, he glanced at Shen Chi out of the corner of his eye and noticed his complexion wasn’t looking that great either.

Could it be that this time it was a loss for both sides?

At the Shen Family, Xu Chaomu slept until after nine o’clock in the morning. She either couldn’t sleep or didn’t get enough.

She still wanted to sleep as she yawned and reached out under the covers. But as soon as she touched it, the material of the bedding and pillow was different from usual.

Upon opening her eyes, she remembered this was Shen Chi’s room.

She had taken all his pillows, not knowing if he had slept well last night.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but touch her stomach, last night Shen Chi had held both of them as they slept. Oh, and he had also told a story that was both crude and violent.

“Baby, you must never learn from your fourth uncle. He just pretends to be decent. Prim and proper in public, a scoundrel in private. You must never imitate him. We have to be model students.”

“Mmm, it’s getting late, let’s get up.”

Xu Chaomu touched her stomach, sat up, and began to dress.

Today wasn’t too bad, she didn’t feel nauseous. However, she still had to make a trip to the hospital later.

“Chaomu, come downstairs and eat something. Are you feeling any better today?” Butler Ling hurried over when he saw Xu Chaomu descend the stairs.

But, did he just see Xu Chaomu coming out of Shen Chi’s room?

Did these two… sleep together last night?

This development… was indeed congratulatory.

“Much better, Butler, he… when did he leave?”

“Are you asking about the young master? He went to the corporation early in the morning, around six.”

“So early, has his headache gotten any better?”

“I didn’t dare ask… maybe you should give him a call and find out.”

“I don’t dare either,” pouted Xu Chaomu.

Butler Ling’s mouth twitched, Xu Chaomu was still such a tease.

“Butler Ling, I need to go to the hospital later. Can you ask the family driver to take me there?”

“Sure, I’ll speak to the driver right away,” said Butler Ling, who didn’t stop her. However, he still needed to report to Shen Chi.

After eating a little, Xu Chaomu grabbed her handbag and headed out.

Xiaogao, another driver of the Shen Family, was already waiting at the door. The weather was still very clear today, and the sun shone on Xu Chaomu, causing a few beads of sweat to form on her nose soon after.

But just as she was about to get into the car, she suddenly saw a familiar vehicle!

A Cayenne! Nie Chenglang’s Cayenne!

She excitedly opened the car door and ran down, heading straight for Nie Chenglang’s car!

It had been several days, she hadn’t seen Nie Chenglang for many days, and she had so much to tell him.

Nie Chenglang, upon seeing Xu Chaomu coming towards him, told his driver to stop.

After coming out of the café, he had returned to Jinxiu Tianxia. He was just waiting here, thinking that if he persisted, he would definitely see Xu Chaomu. He didn’t believe Shen Chi would be so heartless as to put Xu Chaomu under house arrest.

“Chenglang!” Xu Chaomu called out.

Butler Ling hadn’t even turned back yet, and when he saw Xu Chaomu running towards Nie Chenglang, he inwardly screamed that this wasn’t good.

He looked around, not daring to come close, just watching Xu Chaomu and Nie Chenglang. If anything happened, he needed to immediately report to Shen Chi.

“Chaomu,” Nie Chenglang also called her name, stepping out of the car.

Xu Chaomu was thrilled; she ran over and stood on her tiptoes to hug Nie Chenglang.

Just a habitual gesture, but Butler Ling, catching sight of it, widened his eyes in surprise. Could this man be the father of the baby in Xu Chaomu’s stomach?

Though Butler Ling knew about Xu Chaomu’s tomboyish nature and her carefree ways, in all the years, aside from Shen Chi, he had never seen her embrace another man.

“Chaomu, how have the past few days been for you? Is the baby still causing trouble?”

Seeing Nie Chenglang, Xu Chaomu was exceptionally happy and excited. She let go of him, stood in front of him, and smiled, “Very good, the baby is well-behaved too.”

“You look thinner.”

“That’s because I’ve missed you so much, longing makes one lean, you know!” Xu Chaomu giggled.

Her smile revealed small, pearl-like white teeth, exceptionally beautiful under the sunlight.

Nie Chenglang smiled as well, this was the Xu Chaomu he wanted to see—carefree and innocent. Unlike that winter five years ago when he met her in Paris. Back then, Xu Chaomu had truly frightened him.

“Chaomu, I’ll take you back to the Nie Family, and introduce you to my mother. You haven’t met her yet.”

“But I have to go to the hospital first, will you accompany me?” Xu Chaomu solicited his opinion.

Nie Chenglang told her that his mother was easy-going, although not talkative, was amiable and approachable.

Xu Chaomu also really wanted to meet his mother, probably… it would be easier than getting along with Zhou Ran, right?

“Sure, I’ll accompany you. It’s my day off today,” Nie Chenglang said, smiling as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
