If You Could Hear My Heart - Chapter 427: She was driven away by his anger

Chapter 427: Chapter 427: She was driven away by his anger

Moreover, it was he himself who allowed her to kiss him!

How would she behave when she wanted something abroad? Ha! Did she at least have some bottom line, okay?

Even though Nie Chenglang had helped her so much, she and Nie Chenglang had never had anything between them. What right did Shen Chi have to question her?

Abroad, whenever she wanted to buy anything, she would earn it on her own.

Sometimes she helped out in the library, sometimes she worked on projects with her advisor, and sometimes Nie Chenglang would even take some design drafts for her.

Only he, Shen Chi, thought she was disdainful. Perhaps he had always felt uncomfortable about it in his heart.

She pushed him, pushed him with all her might, but he didn’t budge.

He pinned down her shoulders, still without a smile, “Don’t think I don’t know. Today on my turf, you just couldn’t take your eyes off your first love, lingering and reluctant! You really epitomize the idea of lovers’ affections.”

So he was talking about Lou Yanli? Damn it, that’s such a stretch.

However, he did get the news fast.

But there was nothing to explain.

Xu Chaomu lowered her head and bit his arm, biting deep, “Yeah, lovers’ affections, so affectionate. Lou Yanli is younger than you, more handsome than you, and has a better temper than you. I’ll tell you, if you don’t divorce me, I will cuckold you day after day.”

Shen Chi grimaced from the bite.

There were two deep bite marks.

“You can’t live without a man?!” Shen Chi was furious.

“Yep, got a problem with that? It’s not too late to start disliking me now; not many people know we got married.”

Being completely unreasonable, it was entirely him being unreasonable today!

Is this the mature, wise, calm, and decisive CEO Shen? Heh, a joke, a complete joke.

“You’re really eager for a divorce, aren’t you?” Shen Chi said.

“Yes, eagerly so, now get lost.”

Xu Chaomu lowered her head and bit his arm again!

This time, she did not hold back at all. She bit until she tasted blood in her mouth before letting go and shoving him onto the couch.

She quickly ran upstairs from the living room, her shoes clattering on the staircase with a “thud thud” sound!

Today, she kindly wanted to talk to him and incidentally ask for an autograph, an entry ticket, and also a chess manual. This way, many things could have been settled.

She was also in a particularly good mood today, wanting to speak calmly with him.

But this man, so unreasonable, was utterly detestable!

She knew that one day he would resent her, no matter how reluctant he seemed now.

Men are all good for nothing. He’s a normal man, so he’s no different.

Love is a perishable good of youth, a thing that expires after a few years of play.

Xu Chaomu pushed open the bedroom door, then “bang” and shut it!

Once back in the bedroom, she collapsed onto the bed and buried her head in the pillow.

Her heart felt tight, as if entwined with waterweeds, wrapping around in dense coils.

After Xu Chaomu shoved him away, Shen Chi remained seated, maintaining the same posture as before.

His arm still had two bite marks, one very deep, and the other had already started to bleed.

Xu Chaomu really didn’t hold back with her bites.

He would have to dull those fangs of this wildcat one day!

The vast living room fell into a deep quiet without their arguing, so quiet you couldn’t hear a sound.

It was already seven o’clock in the evening, and the clock ticked away, second by second.

Shen Chi clenched his fist to his forehead, his brows tightly knitted. The scene that just unfolded was all his own doing.

She had been happily talking to him this evening, even bringing him slippers, although… she had her requests.

But for some reason, his temper suddenly flared up, really… beyond his control.

He rubbed his forehead, feeling very annoyed.

He didn’t mean to disdain her. How could he disdain her? He didn’t care about her past; he only wanted her to be with him properly in the future.

She said, “With us like this, even if we can be together nicely for three or five years, you still won’t be content. Maybe I left for five years and now that I’m back, you feel you can’t let go, but what about in five years, seven years, ten years?”

“You can say now that you see my child as your own, but what about later? You, a man who’s successful in everything and surrounded by women, wouldn’t you want your own flesh and blood? A man’s heart is the least resistant to the test of time.”

It wasn’t as she imagined. Five years, seven years, a lifetime, he would only love her and her alone.

And her child, he would treat as his own as well.

It’s just that he’d been a bit impulsive earlier, inexplicably so.

He sat alone on the couch, his handsome face filled with loneliness.

How nice it would have been if she had been sitting there with him, even if it meant fussing and fighting. How could it be lonely then?

But she had stormed off because of him…

Stormed off.

Not knowing how long it had been, Butler Ling, seeing that Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu had yet to give any orders, cautiously came in.

Upon entering, she only saw Shen Chi sitting alone on the sofa, his expression not looking so great.

“Young Master Shen, what would you like to eat tonight?” Butler Ling asked tentatively.

“I’m not eating.” Shen Chi replied indifferently.

“Ah? How could that be? You’ve been working all day, you should eat at least a little. If you don’t feel like eating much, I could make something light.”

“No need.” Shen Chi stood up, preparing to leave.

“Young Master Shen…” Butler Ling called out helplessly.

But she knew Shen Chi’s temper all too well. He was always decisive, and she dared not go against his wishes.

But where was Chaomu? Where had Xu Chaomu gone?

She looked around, scanning the area but didn’t see Xu Chaomu.

She could only turn to Shen Chi, who was preparing to go upstairs, “Young Master Shen… Have you seen Miss Xu?”

“She’s in the bedroom.”

“Is she feeling unwell? I’ll bring her something to eat.”

“Yeah, just make her something.” Shen Chi said blandly.

Without looking back, he continued walking upstairs, pausing only for a moment before Xu Chaomu’s bedroom. But it was just a moment before he walked a few more steps and pushed open his own bedroom door.

Butler Ling guessed, had they quarreled again? She wondered what the reason was this time.

Butler Ling shook her head; the thoughts of the younger generation were too complicated to comprehend, especially that of the Shen Family couple.

Thus, Butler Ling went to the kitchen and prepared a bowl of lotus seed, red date, and longan soup. It wasn’t too rich and was nutritious for a pregnant woman.

“Knock, knock, knock,” she knocked on Xu Chaomu’s room door.

“No one is allowed to come in.” Xu Chaomu protested.

“Chaomu, it’s me, I’ve brought you something to eat.”

“Butler Ling, I’m not eating.”

“How can you skip dinner? Even if you don’t feel like eating, there’s still the baby in your belly to think about.”

“Missing one meal won’t kill me.”

“…” Butler Ling found herself at a loss for words.

Thinking it over, Butler Ling decided to coax her, “Chaomu, the baby is at a critical stage of growth. If you don’t keep up with nutrition, the baby’s development will be delayed. If born, the child might be small, with a sallow complexion and frail body.”
