If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Giving Birth is too Scary
His parents had said they were not that open-minded yet.

In C City, the Li Family had a reputation to uphold, one they could not afford to lose.

Of course, if Yu Weiwei remained persistent in not changing her major and Li Beiting insisted on staying with Yu Weiwei, then they would make life impossible for Yu Weiwei’s parents in C City.

Li Beiting knew his parents were not playing around; they had the means to follow through.

The Yu family was just an ordinary working-class household, inferior to the Li Family in every aspect.

But three years later, Li Beiting had figured it out—he could stand by her side and face it all with her.

Besides, the present Yu Weiwei was still very outstanding.

“You!” For the first time, Yu Weiwei realized she was completely helpless against this man.

“Weiwei, tokens of affection should be exchanged,” Li Beiting said seriously as he looked at her.

“Who wants your diamond ring? Take it.”

Yu Weiwei tried to take off the ring again, but Li Beiting stopped her hand, not allowing her to move.

The next second, he took her handbag.

“What are you rummaging through my bag for? You planning to be a thief or what?”

“Mm, to be a thief.”

Having said that, Li Beiting turned her handbag upside down.

Not finding any particularly special small items, he casually took a lipstick.

“Let’s go with this one, I’m not picky,” Li Beiting said before returning the handbag to her.

“Give me back my lipstick!” Yu Weiwei attempted to snatch it.

Li Beiting put the lipstick away in his pocket and watched her impassively.

“Shameless,” Yu Weiwei scoffed coldly.

“Wait for me,” Li Beiting promised her.

His face was serious and earnest, his clear eyes looking at her, filled with determination.

Yu Weiwei stopped talking and lowered her head.

She fiddled with the charm on her handbag, not looking at him, not speaking.

She was just waiting for the man to leave.

“Weiwei, go home early and rest, don’t work too late,” he said, his face full of concern as he brushed the stray hair from beside her ear.

The gesture was extraordinarily gentle.

The garage quieted down for a moment, and the sound of their breathing could be heard.

This tranquility lasted a very long time, with neither of them breaking it.

After a long while, Yu Weiwei finally spoke indifferently, her face emotionless, “You can go now.”

“Mm,” Li Beiting didn’t persist this time, “Don’t worry, I’ve got some things to deal with these next few days; I probably won’t come to see you.”

“Don’t come back,” Yu Weiwei shot him a cold look.

After speaking, she pushed him away, took a few steps, bent down to pick up her phone, and then opened the door to her little BMW.

Li Beiting caught the door, wanting to say a few more words, but Yu Weiwei was very firm.

Whatever he said, it was just pointless talk to her.

His hand rested on the car as before, but Yu Weiwei, learning from last time, was not as polite.

She pulled hard, ready to break his fingers if necessary.

Li Beiting, seeing she was serious, quickly let go.

With a loud “bang,” the noise echoed ominously in the empty garage.

Yu Weiwei cast him a cold glance, started the car, and without looking back, drove out of the garage.

She wasn’t worried about Li Beiting; although he had been drinking, he had plenty of drivers at home.

The car traced a smooth arc as it left the garage.

Li Beiting stood still, waiting until the car was far away before he pursed his lips and his profound eyes shifted.

Shen Chi said that to chase a woman, you have to lower your pride…

Once you’ve won her over, it’s not too late to revert to being aloof.

But was Shen Chi’s advice worth heeding?

If it were so useful, why would he still be sleeping in separate beds from Xu Chaomu?

He looked down and took Yu Weiwei’s lipstick from his pocket, a relatively new stick of bright red lipstick.

So they had decided on their relationship just like that, and it was quite nice.

Long after Yu Weiwei had gone, Li Beiting returned to his own car and drove the red Maserati out of the underground garage.

…

Xu Chaomu had been sulking for quite some time after Yu Weiwei hung up on her.

The next morning, Yu Weiwei took the initiative to call and apologize.

Summer mornings arrived early, and by the time the sun shone through the curtains into Xu Chaomu’s bedroom, she couldn’t sleep anymore.

“Chaomu, pretty girl, are you awake?”

Yu Weiwei called at eight in the morning, having heard that pregnant women sleep a lot and not daring to call too early.

“Weiwei, gorgeous, I’ve been awake for ages.”

“Did you sleep well? Is the baby causing trouble? I’m really sorry for hanging up on you yesterday.”

“It’s fine, we’re all friends here. My baby’s well-behaved, not stirring at all.”

“Pregnancy must be hard; you need to nourish yourself well, not overdo it, and especially not stay up late.”

“You speak as if you’ve been pregnant.”

“Giving birth is too scary; I don’t ever want to be pregnant,” Yu Weiwei twisted her lips.

Although she was a doctor, even a urologist, she was actually very afraid of pain.

She had heard that childbirth was excruciatingly painful, and if there were complications, it could be agonizing beyond words.

“When my baby’s born, if you find it adorable, you’ll definitely want to have one.”

“No way,” Yu Weiwei resolutely said, “Besides, I don’t have a boyfriend, so it’s not possible.”

“Let me tell you, Weiwei, with your beauty and capability, you absolutely must find a handsome guy. Only then will the children be attractive.”

“Speaking of that, tell me, is the baby in your belly really from your so-called fiancé, what’s-his-name, Nie something?”

Xu Chaomu fell silent; as for the baby’s father, she was the only one who truly knew.

She had no plans to tell anyone else, not even Yu Weiwei.

After a long pause, she finally spoke vaguely, “Hmm… ”

Yu Weiwei pressed her hand to her forehead, “So your fiancé just lets you be with Shen Chi?”

“Shen Chi won’t let me go. You know, anything Shen Chi wants, no one can take it away.”

“Then you and Shen Chi…”

“Weiwei, let’s not talk about this. By the way, why did you suddenly hang up on me yesterday?” Xu Chaomu interjected, cutting off Yu Weiwei.

“If you don’t tell me, then I won’t either,” Yu Weiwei huffed.

“Not telling? If you’re not telling, then I’ll guess,” Xu Chaomu blinked, “Was it because of… a man?”

“There are men coming and going in my institute every day; of course, I deal with men every day.”

“No no no, you know what I mean. Then let me just ask outright, was it because of Li Beiting?”

Based on Yu Weiwei’s tone and reaction yesterday, Xu Chaomu guessed it must have been because of Li Beiting.

“Let’s not discuss this. When do you plan to return the magazines you borrowed last time?”

“What, feeling lonely and cold lately?”

“I just think that as a pregnant woman, you should read less of those magazines. Getting all hot and bothered and not being able to do anything about it isn’t good for the baby.”

“Weiwei, you’re not pure!”

“By the way, your brother Shen didn’t find the magazines, did he?”

Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched helplessly, “He found them a long time ago…”

“You! What about my magazines then? Are they still intact, or have they been confiscated, or thrown away?”

Xu Chaomu couldn’t even keep a few magazines safe.
