If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 393 - : Such a Great Day

Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Such a Great Day

When Shen Chi returned, Xu Chaomu and Mo Shuifu were sitting by the water, watching the sunset.

Within the Splendid World Villa complex, there was a large natural lake which had been purchased by the Shen Family more than twenty years ago, therefore, the lake now belonged entirely to the Shen Family.

Xu Chaomu and Mo Shuifu could come and go as they pleased, and at this moment, they were sitting in a small pavilion by the lake, drinking tea.

“Shuifu, look at these lotus flowers, whether lightly or heavily made up, they are always suitable,” Xu Chaomu said with a laugh, pointing to the center of the lake.

There was also a pavilion in the center of the lake, connected to the shore by a long corridor.

The lake full of lotus flowers swayed gracefully in the evening breeze, emanating bursts of lotus fragrance, as the water’s ripples gently undulated.

“Indeed, such days are lovely, peaceful and ordinary,” a serene smile also spilled over Mo Shuifu’s lips.

Although her relationship with Shen Shihan remained lukewarm, she always knew that Shen Shihan was not bad to her.

Even if she could no longer bear him children, he had never complained, nor had there been any whiff of scandal.

Since marrying him, she never again faced a life of wandering or reliance on others.

However, she still couldn’t convince herself to fall in love with him…

Give her more time, and let time fill in the trenches between them.

Xu Chaomu squinted her eyes, yes, such days were truly nice.

Shen Chi walked towards this place from the Shen Family’s home, while Xu Chaomu was indulging in the sunset.

The pale orange light fell on her white T-shirt, causing her small face to appear even more blushing.

Shen Chi, with his long legs, walked towards her, his eyes never leaving Xu Chaomu.

It was Mo Shuifu who noticed Shen Chi and nodded subtly in greeting.

Shen Chi quietly approached Xu Chaomu from behind, his large hand covering her eyes.

“Ah, who is it? So naughty!”

Her vision went dark as Xu Chaomu felt a pair of warm, large palms covering her eyes.

Mo Shuifu chuckled softly, while Shen Chi remained silent.

“Quick, announce your name!” Xu Chaomu playfully demanded.

As soon as she calmed down, she recognized the faint, pleasant scent of herbs emanating from Shen Chi.

His scent was truly unique.

Shen Chi, of course, stayed quiet, and so she cunningly smiled and stepped on Shen Chi’s leather shoe.

It seems… she didn’t miss!

“Mumu, you’re really cruel, getting mischievous, aren’t you?”

Shen Chi frowned, releasing his hands, but… she had already stepped on his foot, and it hurt quite a bit.

He smiled and pinched her rosy cheek before letting go.

“It’s because you were picking on me,” Xu Chaomu muttered.

Mo Shuifu also smiled, lifting her eyes; at that moment, Shen Chi, backlit by the sun, stood next to Xu Chaomu.

The sharp angles of his usually cold and icy face softened, a subtle smile curling at his lips.

Mo Shuifu so seldom saw such a version of Shen Chi.

All of this man’s tenderness was reserved for Xu Chaomu.

It was true: “Hard to redirect the waters in rivers and seas, except for Wushan, there’s no other cloud.”

“What are you looking at?” Shen Chi also sat down next to Xu Chaomu.

“This beautiful lake scenery, of course I am looking at the scenery! Are you blind?”

“I am blind, otherwise, how would I have fallen for you?”

Shen Chi pinched her soft and tender cheek again; it felt especially good in his hand.

Xu Chaomu’s face turned red, Mo Shuifu was still there, yet this man had no sense to restrain himself.

She awkwardly swatted away his large hand and gave him a glare.

Mo Shuifu couldn’t help but sneak a few chuckles and stood up, “It’s getting late, I should head home. Shihan is probably back by now.”

“Don’t go, Shui Fu, stay with me tonight. I still have so much to tell you.”

Xu Chaomu also stood up, tugging at the corner of Mo Shuifu’s clothes.

Shen Chi finally spoke up as well, “Stay and keep Chaomu company.”

With Shen Chi speaking out, Mo Shuifu found it hard to decline and nodded her head in agreement.

So, Xu Chaomu, linking arms with Mo Shuifu, left the pavilion.

“Shui Fu, let’s go.”

Of course, her words were intended for Shen Chi to hear.

Shen Chi had no choice but to follow, but as he was about to do so, Xu Chaomu suddenly turned around and warned him, “You’re not allowed to follow us! The sunset is so beautiful, and the lotus flowers are so lovely. Just stay here and quietly appreciate them. Once you’re done, write a reflection… ”

Xu Chaomu went on, glancing back threateningly at Shen Chi.

Mo Shuifu also laughed. When she turned her head, she caught sight of the look of exasperated amusement on Shen Chi’s face.

The sun slowly set behind him, and the afterglow of the sunset draped over him, stretching his tall figure into a long shadow…

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, Mo Shuifu remembered, she had once loved him too.

As a gentle breeze blew, Mo Shuifu brushed her stray hair away from her ear and turned away.

She would keep this secret forever buried in her heart, as long as Shen Shihan never brought it up again.

Xu Chaomu, still holding onto Mo Shuifu, walked around the place, even going to the kennel to feed Dabai.

The butler was thrilled to see Mo Shuifu visit the Shen Family after such a long time; she was especially happy today and had instructed the kitchen to prepare a few extra dishes.

The butler was quite fond of this third young madam too. Even though her background was not much better than Xu Chaomu’s, she was just as kind.

“Dinner time, third young madam, fourth young madam, it’s time for dinner.” The butler called them from the garden.

She deliberately referred to Xu Chaomu as “fourth young madam.” Xu Chaomu, being a bit thick-skinned, didn’t notice at first and even responded with a “yeah.”

However, it was Shen Chi who walked over with a sly smile playing on the corners of his mouth.

Fourth young madam… That title was quite fitting.

The Shen Family home, which had been quiet for so long, was lively once again.

For the past five years, the Shen Family House had been quiet and desolate, but Xu Chaomu was always able to fill the vast residence with laughter and joy.

The butler really adored Xu Chaomu, secretly hoping that she would marry Shen Chi.

The long dining table was laden with a variety of dishes, mostly traditional Chinese homemade dishes, and the butler had also specially prepared a bottle of red wine for Shen Chi.

Xu Chaomu and Mo Shuifu sat together, and Shen Chi had no choice but to take the seat across from them.

That way, with just a lift of his head, he could see her.

Even if he didn’t feel like eating, just looking at her was good enough.

Shen Chi poured himself half a glass of red wine; the red liquid shone like a red diamond in the clear stemmed glass.

Mo Shuifu was in a good mood today and passed her glass over, “Shen Chi, pour me a little as well, would you?”

“Sure.” Shen Chi poured a small amount for Mo Shuifu.

Xu Chaomu watched with envy and deliberately extended her glass as well, “Shen Chi, pour some for me too.”

“Scram!” Shen Chi glanced at her coldly and moved her glass away.

Xu Chaomu rolled her eyes.

But a moment later, someone went to pour her a glass of juice.

“Drink this.” Shen Chi pushed the glass towards her, leaving no room for negotiation.

“So annoying.” Xu Chaomu muttered under her breath, but took the juice anyway.

With a smile on her face, Mo Shuifu saw that Shen Chi was indeed very fond of Xu Chaomu.

However, with Xu Chaomu carrying someone else’s child, what was Shen Chi to do…
