If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1267: The Affections of Parting and Reuniting

Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: The Affections of Parting and Reuniting

Her hand covered his face, lingering lovingly from his long lashes to his straight nose, then to his sensuous, thin lips.

In the past, she wouldn’t dare to dream of looking at him so closely, yet now, not only could she gaze upon him, but she could also kiss him without any restraint.

He looked very handsome while sleeping, but then again... when had he ever not been handsome?

By the light of the moon, she gently kissed his lips.

As a result, someone woke up.

He turned over and pinned her beneath him.

"Stealing a kiss from me?" Shen Chi looked at her, still slightly groggy.

"I... I didn’t... Maybe... Maybe I was sleepwalking..." Xu Chaomu felt her excuse was pretty lame.

"Oh, then I must be sleepwalking too."

"Ah!"

With that said, someone made love to her again.

Xu Chaomu was exhausted, knowing well that she wouldn’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow. What a way to spend Valentine’s Day, screw Valentine’s Day!

Xu Chaomu slept very soundly, she didn’t know for how long, but when she opened her eyes, it was already bright daylight.

Though it was still drizzling outside, the sky was gloomy.

She didn’t open her eyes upon waking, reaching out with her hand, she found that his side of the bed was already empty and had grown cold.

No matter how late he went to bed, he never had a habit of sleeping in, his daily routine was very regular.

This man was sometimes impeccable, no wonder everyone thought that he was only suited for knowledgeable and well-behaved young ladies.

But only she knew that sometimes he could be quite childish and immature.

And only she knew that.

She smiled and pulled the blanket over herself, refusing to get out of bed.

She started to drift off again when she vaguely heard him making a phone call.

"Uh-huh, I understand, arrange the schedule."

"I won’t be going to the company today."

"..."

Xu Chaomu frowned, was he going on a business trip again?

Just as she thought this, he walked into the bedroom.

"Awake?" Shen Chi bent over.

"Yeah, I’m awake." Xu Chaomu removed the blanket and smiled at him.

She was particularly beautiful when she smiled, her smile clean and lovely, something Shen Chi especially adored.

He kissed her forehead and, with a curved lip, said, "Then get up, it’s almost noon."

"I don’t want to move, hold me."

"Lazy like this."

"I’m not lazy, you were clearly too restless last night, even troubling me again when I fell asleep." Xu Chaomu complained.

"You should feel blessed to have a husband with such stamina," Shen Chi pinched her cheek affectionately.

These days he finally saw her put on a bit of weight, if she got any slimmer, he would again feel guilty and pained.

"Then will you hold me?"

"Hold you, not only that, but shall I also attend to your needs?"

Xu Chaomu laughed, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

At noon, Shen Chi drove her to the western restaurant he had reserved a long time ago.

Today was Valentine’s Day, filled with the atmosphere of the occasion everywhere, even the restaurant was decorated with roses. The streets were bustling with vendors selling small gifts.

"After lunch, let’s take a walk," Xu Chaomu suggested. "I have something to tell you."

"Uh? Tell me if it’s good or bad news first so I can prepare myself."

"You’re so smart, take a guess." Xu Chaomu laughed.

"..." Shen Chi’s mouth twitched.

Xu Chaomu liked to see him looking deflated, and she was even more pleased.

However, they had gone out for Valentine’s Day and left Xiaobao at home.

She had been neglecting Xiaobao lately; she guessed Xiaobao would protest. No wonder he called Shen Chi "Uncle Four" yesterday—probably out of anger.

The little guy was quite clever and already knew which words were nice and which were not.

He was definitely his father’s son, with a high IQ.

The two dined in a Western restaurant. Although it was drizzling outside, Xu Chaomu’s mood was good.

They sold roses in the restaurant, and Shen Chi bought her a bouquet, making her as happy as a little girl.

Halfway through the meal, Shen Chi took out a small box from his coat pocket, opened it, and revealed the Ruby Ring.

"I’ll put it on for you," Shen Chi said.

Xu Chaomu felt warmth in her eyes, and nearly teared up.

"Such an important thing as a ring—don’t lose it again," Shen Chi said casually, as if nothing had ever happened.

Xu Chaomu stretched out her hand, and he bent down and gently slipped the ring onto her ring finger.

Under the soft lighting, the ring’s lines were delicate and its luster bright—it looked exceptionally beautiful.

"I’ll order a pair of rings for our wedding banquet," Shen Chi mentioned lightly.

Xu Chaomu was taken aback, a wedding banquet?

It felt like they had been married for many years, and just the year before last she was still troubled by the fact that Shen Chi had never mentioned a wedding banquet. Now she didn’t mind anymore.

"Wedding banquets are such a hassle, let’s not have one. We already have a baby," Xu Chaomu suggested.

"I really do want to have a wedding banquet. Without it, it feels like something is missing."

"You’re quite traditional."

"My wedding has to be second to none." Shen Chi smiled.

"Are you trying to show off?"

"Of course, having such a beautiful wife, it wouldn’t be right not to show you off a little," Shen Chi touched her hair.

"Okay... I agree."

"You would have to agree, even if you didn’t."

"..."

During the meal, Xu Chaomu always enjoyed looking at the ring on her hand. Having the ring back on her finger felt different.

The ups and downs in their relationship perhaps taught them how to get along better—to accommodate each other, understand each other, and respect each other. Perhaps, then, a brief separation wasn’t such a bad thing.

If being together only led to endless arguing and misunderstandings, it might be better to grow apart.

Since they were each other’s first love, their time to adjust to each other was probably longer than most.

"Want to hear some piano? I’ll play for you," Shen Chi pointed to a piano in the restaurant.

"Yes, I’d love to hear it," Xu Chaomu propped her cheek with her hand, watching him. freёnovelkiss-com

She hadn’t heard him play the piano in a long time and truly missed it.

She loved watching him play—focused and dedicated, and particularly pleasing to the eye.

The light spilled onto his gray sweater, adding a touch of softness to his stern facial features. Xu Chaomu turned to look at him sitting at the piano, a gentle smile on her face.

Many people watched him as he played, not lacking in beautiful women.

Xu Chaomu felt a pang of jealousy; she didn’t want to share such an outstanding husband with anyone else.

However, several people also looked at her, whispering, "That’s so romantic, he plays so well."

"I’m so envious of that girl, her boyfriend is so handsome."

Xu Chaomu smiled; she was quite envious of herself.

Shen Chi genuinely played the piano well, the result of hard practice from a young age, unlike her, who failed at everything she learned. Fortunately, Shen Chi didn’t mind.

A woman approached and whispered to Xu Chaomu, "Your boyfriend is so handsome, playing just for you?"

"He’s my husband," Xu Chaomu tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and smiled.
