If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 482: Chapter 482: If I Don’t Pamper You, Then Who Will I Pamper?

Xu Chaomu’s face turned red and then pale as if she had been cursed by a dog.

Still, she calmed her expression and blinked innocently, “I don’t understand.”

Why had he found out, shouldn’t he have just glanced at that kind of text message and then deleted it?

If she had known he could guess so easily, she would never have sent it, even if it killed her.

She was a reserved girl.

“Xu Chaomu, the Shen family servants’ mobile numbers all start with the same few digits!”

Shen Chi really couldn’t handle Xu Chaomu, thinking that next time he might need to top up her IQ.

Otherwise, with the saying ‘pregnancy makes a woman foolish for three years,’ by the time the child was born, who knows how foolish she would become.

“What if it was from a servant who took a fancy to you?” Xu Chaomu conceded, but she still felt somewhat unconvinced.

“Do you think they would have the guts?”

Xu Chaomu thought that made sense, who would dare to do such a thing. Shen Chi wouldn’t even need to check personally; if left to butler Ling, they would be kicked out of the Shen family.

The Shen family paid well, provided for all needs; how could the servants dare to mess up?

“Alright, alright, I admit it, it was me,” Xu Chaomu pouted, grudgingly.

“Hmm,” Shen Chi responded in a deep voice, “Feeling lonely?”

“What are you talking about, I’m not some lovesick housewife.”

“No problem, if you’re lonely, empty, just tell your husband, a phone call, and your husband will come back.”

“Get lost, I sent it to the wrong person, it was meant for another man.”

“Oh?” There was a hint of dangerous information in Shen Chi’s tone, “It only takes fifty minutes from this hotel to the Shen family. If I drive at 120 km/h, it only takes half an hour.”

“You, you… don’t come back.”

Xu Chaomu backed down, realizing if she didn’t, Shen Chi might actually drive back from the hotel the next second.

“Dare to find another man?”

“I…” Xu Chaomu hesitated.

“Say it!”

“I don’t dare…” Xu Chaomu looked down, continuing to concede.

“Hmm.” Clearly, Shen Chi was satisfied with this answer.

“Sadist,” Xu Chaomu muttered under her breath, discontentedly.

However, Shen Chi heard her and non-seriously responded, “Hmm, more brutal in bed.”

“Shen Chi, mind your influence, please, my baby is getting corrupted by you!”

“Is that so? When you were texting, your baby was watching every single word.”

“You!” Xu Chaomu couldn’t argue with him, she pursed her lips, “You weren’t this lewd before…”

In the past, not only was he not lewd, but he was also quite aloof and arrogant. When she, at ten, was reading adult magazines, he was into Marquez, Nabokov, Hawking and so on. How had this man upgraded himself in the five years they didn’t meet?

“Xu Chaomu, who was it that hid ‘Not suitable for children’ magazines under the bed when they were ten? Hmm?”

“What does that have to do with you.”

“Corrupted by you.”

“Nonsense, it’s clearly because you often hang out at ********, a case of bad influences rubbing off.”

“Blame me, blame me.”

When Shen Chi said this, he looked particularly innocent, and Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but laugh, but she didn’t laugh out loud, she just covered her mouth and giggled secretly.

Whenever she felt unhappy, and he cheered her up a bit, her mood would improve a lot.

But suddenly she remembered what Zhou Ran had said, Zhou Ran mentioned that Shen Chi wanted an obedient and sensible wife who could share his worries, not someone who caused him more.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but ask out loud, “Shen Chi, is it tiring to be with me? You have to coddle me.”

“It’s a man’s duty to be a little tired.”

“Answer me seriously!” Xu Chaomu stomped her foot in frustration.

Dammit, she was earnestly asking him a question, but this man was starting to be unserious again.

“If I don’t coddle you, whom should I coddle?” Shen Chi counter-questioned, his voice deep and powerful.

Xu Chaomu was stunned, blinked her eyes, and it felt like everything around her quieted down, she couldn’t even hear the summer insects.

The only sound echoing in her ears was his “If I don’t coddle you, whom should I coddle”…

His voice was extremely pleasant to hear, even through the phone, it was captivating, as if whispering sweet nothings by her ear, melting her heart…

She laughed pitifully, the laughter deepening.

She was like a fool, giggling alone on a summer night.

Under the moonlight, beneath the streetlights, everything she saw was beautiful, the gardenia flowers seemed whiter, the willows greener, even the night breeze was more intoxicating.

Xu Chaomu stopped talking, his words still echoing in her ears.

After a long while, she finally said with a smile, “You really know how to charm someone.”

“Now, I only charm you,” he replied.

“And in the future?”

“In the future, charm our daughter.”

“Who said I’d give you a daughter.” Xu Chaomu chided.

Her right hand involuntarily covered her stomach, gently stroking it. She too wanted a daughter…

Shen Chi stayed silent on the other end, the corners of his lips slowly curving upwards.

If they had a daughter, she would definitely be very much like her, lively and lovely.

He could still remember Xu Chaomu when she was ten, an undeniable little rascal. Back then, she would chase after him shouting “Brother Shen Chi,” and later, it became “Fourth Brother.”

In the future, if they had a daughter like her, would she also chase after him shouting “Daddy, hold me”?

Thinking of this, his smile grew deeper.

“Chaomu, the text message you sent me today, I kept it. Wait until I get home, and see how I’ll deal with you.”

Xu Chaomu quickly said, “You wouldn’t dare! If you mess around, I’ll have the Shen family’s gate locked and not let you in!”

“Then you just wait and see if I dare.”

“You…” Xu Chaomu was exasperated, as she tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice.

After a moment of silence, Shen Chi spoke again.

“Chaomu, take back what you said at noon,” he said, his tone deep and solemn.

The things she had said at noon had made him uncomfortable, and during the afternoon meeting, he had often been distracted.

If she hadn’t suddenly sent him a flirtatious text message tonight, he was almost ready to send Xiao Mo out from the hotel to check on her.

“What did I say at noon?” Xu Chaomu countered.

It was only when Shen Chi heard her say this that he could relax.

“Alright. Go to sleep early; your husband will be home in a few days,” Shen Chi said with a chuckle.

“Then I’m going to sleep.”

“Hmm.”

Xu Chaomu waited for him to hang up, but after several seconds, there was no movement from him.

Still on call, Xu Chaomu steeled her heart and hung up the phone.

It was a waste of phone charges.

She sat on the swing, his words of “If I don’t coddle you, whom should I coddle” still revolving in her mind.

Xu Chaomu was also smiling foolishly, watching the fireflies fly around in the sky, thinking that everything was so beautiful.

A couple of days ago, coming out of Shen Cexian’s hospital room, she felt as if the world had crumbled, but now she didn’t want to think about it anymore.

She wouldn’t sign that divorce agreement; she wanted to take a gamble.

After sitting on the swing for a while, she stood up and chased after the fireflies in the sky, trying to catch one.

After chasing for a long time and not catching any, she gave up, deciding to wait for Shen Chi to come back.

She returned to her room and took the divorce agreement out of the book.

A thick stack, she couldn’t understand it, and there was no need to try anymore.
