If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 459 - Normal Physiological Response

Chapter 459: Chapter 459 Normal Physiological Response

This man is really generous with his money, five million just for one night? Jian Sisi has made a fortune.

Isn’t that too pricey?

Does that mean in the future, if some beast dares to make any requests, she could also demand five million?

Tsk tsk tsk, five million.

“Take the check and forget what happened last night.” Shen Chi’s tone was still as cold as ice.

“President Shen, I don’t want your money!”

Jian Sisi’s little face flushed red with seriousness as she pushed the check back at Shen Chi, “President Shen, I don’t want you to take responsibility, nor do I want your compensation. I just want you to know that I, Jian Sisi, am not that kind of woman. So, I don’t want your money!”

She spoke with righteous indignation, her expression stern.

Xu Chaomu was utterly impressed, it sounded so sincere.

She remembered the conversation Jian Sisi had with that man named Zhuo Fan, she probably doesn’t even care about the five million.

“You better take the check. In the future, if you dare to use last night’s incident to threaten me, don’t blame me for being ruthless with a woman.”

Shen Chi’s expression turned stern as he threw the spoon into the cup, producing a crisp “clang.”

Jian Sisi was startled, her hands twisting nervously, her face a picture of panic.

Suddenly, she covered her face and began to cry, “President Shen, how can you think of me like this? Am I that kind of woman? As a girl, I’ve never done that sort of thing with a man before, do you think I’m feeling okay about it?”

Having said that, Jian Sisi ran out of the café in tears.

Xu Chaomu stared, dumbfounded by such acting skills—simply incredible!

But according to the usual plot, shouldn’t the man chase after her when he hears such words?

Xu Chaomu stared at Shen Chi, curious about how he would react.

However, this man never played by the rules. Even though Jian Sisi looked so “pathetic,” he seemed utterly unmoved.

He picked up the spoon again and gently stirred his coffee.

This man, his gaze was deep and inscrutable, always making it impossible to fathom what he was thinking.

Xu Chaomu glanced at the time on the video; it was already after ten.

At that point, she had already left the Paris Hotel with Nie Chenglang.

When the video’s timestamp reached eleven, Shen Chi left the hotel with people from the Shen Group.

Of course, that included Jian Sisi.

Pausing the footage, Xu Chaomu was still pondering the recent scene—sleeping with Shen Chi for one night was worth so much money?

She felt as though she had opened the doors to a whole new world.

Xu Chaomu’s hand with the mouse slid back and forth ceaselessly, the cursor darting around the computer screen.

In her head, those ‘not suitable for children’ sounds began playing involuntarily…

Her face flushed red, and her hand uncontrollably clicked on that video segment again.

Yes, somewhat out of control…

The video only had sound, no image, and Xu Chaomu quickly turned down the volume to very low.

As soon as she played it, she heard sounds that made her blush and her heart race.

“Mmm…ah…ah…”

“Lightly, lightly…”

Xu Chaomu’s face turned as red as a liver, hardly daring to believe—the woman in the video… was her.

No no no, that’s a normal physiological response, any woman would be the same.

“Don’t… don’t…” she resisted.

“What don’t you want…” The man’s suggestive voice came through.

“Hands off… ah…” She resisted, yet couldn’t help but moan softly.

Xu Chaomu internally screamed “How dirty, how dirty,” yet listened to the entire video again.

Her first time, and she couldn’t remember what it felt like at all. Truly frustrating.

After listening once, Xu Chaomu stowed the video data away carefully; such valuable material needed to be hidden with care.

She must, at all costs, keep it from being seen by Shen Chi…

Luckily, Fenfen had said there was only one copy of the video. As long as she hid it well, Shen Chi would not be able to see it again.

Where to hide it, Xu Chaomu wondered.

Her bedroom was frequently visited by Shen Chi, so it had to be in a place he couldn’t see.

She clapped her hands and wandered around her bedroom.

Under the bed, in the wardrobe, inside boxes… she checked them all.

Then she thought of a solution!

She had a box for miscellaneous little items; she just needed to disguise the video a bit before placing it inside.

She purposefully made the items in the box look messy, then hid the inconspicuous surveillance footage in a black cloth bag, mixing it with the other small items.

Once she locked the box, her task was complete!

Shen Chi definitely wouldn’t go so far as to break into her box.

And for herself… well, she had already copied a few significant segments of the video to her computer and named them “Kitty’s funny videos” and “A new joke every day,” titles like that.

From what she knew about Shen Chi, he would disdain touching her computer.

And even if he accidentally used it, he would scorn clicking on videos with such names.

Xu Chaomu applauded her own cleverness, deeply moved by her intelligence.

Task accomplished, Xu Chaomu dusted off her hands and continued to crack open sunflower seeds.

While eating sunflower seeds, she occasionally glanced at her phone screen; this man, really.

Had he not seen her text, or was he simply choosing not to reply?

With his attitude, let him sleep on the floor for a year.

Xu Chaomu fixed her gaze on her phone for ages until night fell and still not a peep from the device.

Annoyed, she tossed the phone on the table and went downstairs to find Dabai to play with.

After five years, Dabai had become much more obedient. Where it used to snub her, now it wagged its tail excitedly and barked happily upon seeing her.

“Woof woof woof”…

Xu Chaomu ran over to play with it, but because pregnant women shouldn’t have too much contact with animals, she only stroked Dabai a few times, spoke a few words to it, and reluctantly left the dog house.

“Dabai, you need to be good. I’ll bring Wealth over to play with you another day.”

Xu Chaomu had raised a little dog named Wealth in Paris, and later it was Nie Chenglang who took it back to their country, and the little dog had been staying with Nie Chenglang ever since.

It had been many days since she had returned home, and she hadn’t seen Wealth yet; she missed him.

Dabai squinted its eyes, wagged its tail again as if in agreement, and seemed very well-behaved.

Xu Chaomu loved how obedient it was, the more she looked, the more she adored it.

In fact, during the five years abroad, she missed Dabai a lot. After coming back, she played hardball with Shen Chi, claiming not to miss Dabai when in truth, she really did.

In the evening, Shen Chi still hadn’t replied to her text or called her.

Xu Chaomu was indeed upset—he wouldn’t initiate, so neither would she.

In the hotel, Shen Chi was in a closed-door meeting.

Such meetings did not allow any kind of communication devices, and while he was in the meeting, he couldn’t stop thinking about that text message.

But, business is business, and personal issues are another matter. In his eyes, work and private life were clearly separate.

Though he pondered over Xu Chaomu, his demeanor during the meeting was meticulous.

The meeting didn’t end until seven in the evening, and everyone stayed at the hotel, waiting to continue the meeting at dawn.

Once everyone left the meeting room, Shen Chi finally took out his phone, a hint of a smile spreading across his grim face.
