If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 387 - : The Wife Must Be Won Back

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: The Wife Must Be Won Back

“Chenglang, have you been living too comfortably that you’re looking to get yourself thrown in jail?” Lu Feili sneered coldly, “Do you realize that bigamy is against the law?”

“Enough, Mom, don’t try to persuade me anymore. Step aside and let me go downstairs.”

“Impossible! As long as I’m here today, you’re not walking out that door!” Lu Feili stood her ground without yielding a single inch.

Nie Chenglang was extremely anxious, his forehead beaded with sweat. Xu Chaomu was still pregnant; if she went downstairs alone, something might happen…

But his mother was blocking the way, and he had no solution—after all, he couldn’t lay a hand on his own mother!

The standoff lasted a long while before Nie Chenglang exhaled with resignation, his gaze stern.

“Mom, do you really want me to lay all my cards on the table and talk about what happened at the Paris hotel? You know what you did, right? You’ve had someone watching me all along; you’ve known that Xu Chaomu is my girlfriend, haven’t you?”

Lu Feili was taken aback at first but recovered to normal in a few seconds.

“My son is quite smart, I see.”

“So, there’s no way I’ll let Chaomu suffer any grievances.”

“Grievances? A woman like her, having a husband and still ‘out playing the field’, what grievances does she have?”

“You’re being completely unreasonable!” Nie Chenglang was furious.

Xu Chaomu had descended from the twentieth floor and rode the elevator down to the first floor, feeling very sad.

She truly did not expect that Nie Chenglang’s mother would dislike her as well.

When Nie Chenglang said she was amiable and kind, she was quite looking forward to it, but she never expected…

She wasn’t asking for much, only for an ordinary, peaceful life without deceit or hypocrisy, yet fate seemed to enjoy playing jokes on her.

She ran along the pebble path of the residential community towards the exit, running until she started to cry.

Hiding in a secluded spot under a lush tree, she squatted down and sobbed uncontrollably.

The summer air was stuffy and hot, cicadas incessantly chirped at the treetops. With the cacophony of people and cars around her, Xu Chaomu felt overwhelmed by the noise.

She covered her ears and buried her head in the crook of her knees.

At that moment, she could only hear her own crying.

She was like a cat, a forsaken little cat hiding in a corner, silent.

Summer was too long; when she had wanted to start a good life with someone, things just couldn’t go smoothly. Was she destined to be alone for the rest of her life…

She sniffled and fiercely wiped away her tears.

It didn’t matter; she was the unbreakable cockroach, alone or not, she was determined to live well.

As she dried her tears and tried to stand while leaning on the tree trunk, that’s when she noticed a pair of black men’s dress shoes in front of her.

Without even looking up, she knew who it was!

Shen Chi had already been standing there for a while; to be precise, his car had followed Nie Chenglang’s into the neighborhood some time ago.

“Why are you crying, did your boyfriend dump you?” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“None of your damn business.”

Xu Chaomu patted her hands, trying to get up from the ground, hearing the schadenfreude in his tone.

But having squatted for too long, she felt dizzy and lightheaded as she tried to stand.

Stumbling, Shen Chi simply pulled her up and incidentally… pulled her into his arms.

“Xu Chaomu, your baby’s almost three months along, so behave. Otherwise, if your child argues with you in the future and retorts with ‘none of your damn business’, I bet you’d be mad enough to die!”

“Shen Chi, broad daylight here, get your hands off me!” Xu Chaomu struggled.

“Come home with me!”

Shen Chi dragged her toward his Maybach. Xu Chaomu couldn’t keep up with his pace, yet he refused to let go.

“What’s the meaning of this? Weren’t you the one telling me to get lost at the hospital? Aren’t you contradicting yourself? Does your dad know about this? Does your mom? Do your seven aunts and eight uncles know?!”

“Xu Chaomu, who did you pick up this nonsense from? Such a chatterbox!”

Shen Chi frowned, his strong arms scooped her up in an instant, and with a whirl, he hoisted her horizontally.

It had been a long time since he carried her, and he hadn’t expected that she, even pregnant, was still so light.

Xu Chaomu quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, scared that she might fall.

“Mmm, good.” Shen Chi was exceptionally pleased with her reaction.

“Shen Chi, do you not comprehend the phrases ‘words spoken, water thrown’ [meaning words can’t be taken back]? By telling me to get lost at the hospital today, didn’t you agree to a divorce?”

“Don’t worry, I’m no gentleman. I’ve gone back on my word, so what are you going to do about it?”

“You’re so shameless, are you even a man?” Xu Chaomu felt that Shen Chi could really be infuriating at times.

“However, there is one thing I will never go back on in my life.”

“Hmm?”

“I love you.”

His voice was light, like the summer breeze gently stirring, so intangible.

Xu Chaomu was startled, momentarily lost for words.

On the other hand, Shen Chi’s lips curved in a smile as he arrived at the Maybach, opening the passenger door and gently placing her inside.

But he didn’t leave. His hand caressed her lips, stroking them over and over.

“Alright, Mumu, are you eager to discuss whether I’m a man or not?”

The conversation took an unexpected turn, and Xu Chaomu spat at him, “Your skin is thicker than city walls.”

“Actually… we can ‘delve into’ this topic further.”

Xu Chaomu thought to herself that if she backed down, she wouldn’t be the little rascal she was known to be. Thus, she took hold of his hand, smiling seductively.

“Are you sure you can satisfy me? You should know that when I was abroad, with so many foreign men, I didn’t…”

“Perfect, you have ample experience, plenty of moves, so our exchange should be effortless.”

“Get out!” Xu Chaomu yelled, fuming.

“Mumu, the baby’s almost three months old, I looked into it, and by four months there should be no problems. So, I was thinking, we can have a good ‘discussion’ soon.”

“Dammit, Shen Chi, where’s your shame? You actually looked this up?!”

“It’s all to love you properly.” Shen Chi looked utterly innocent.

“Get out, get out, get out!” Xu Chaomu had never seen anyone as shameless as he was.

Only then did Shen Chi close the passenger door, smiling as he walked to the driver’s seat. Once seated, he started the car, pressed the brake, and prepared to drive out of the neighborhood.

What he said at the hospital today was obviously said in anger; divorce was his bottom line, and when that was crossed, his anger was justified. But once his temper cooled, he still needed to win his wife back.

“Mumu, did your boyfriend’s mom come over?” Shen Chi drove casually, his tone light.

Xu Chaomu was resting her head looking at the scenery outside the window when she heard this and turned her head.

“How did you know?” Xu Chaomu looked up, puzzled.

“I had Xiao Mo call her over.”

In an instant, Xu Chaomu’s face turned a series of colors, enraged from red to purple!

“Shen Chi! I curse your second great-uncle! You’re so despicable and shameless, always up to no good! Watch out for lightning to strike you down, thunder to roar upon you, bringing eternal calamity…”

“You shouldn’t be cursing your own husband like that.”
