If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 516 - : Anxiety Burns Like Fire, Hunger Thirst Hard to Endure

Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Anxiety Burns Like Fire, Hunger Thirst Hard to Endure

Actually, he hadn’t seen her for many days and he really wanted to hold her a little longer.

When she looked down, she saw that his arm was still bleeding; it really hurt her heart.

She wanted him to let her down to rest for a while, but he refused.

“Shen Chi, I know why you had Butler Ling make me so many delicious dishes every day,” Xu Chaomu pouted.

“Hmm?”

“If I eat well every day, I’ll definitely get fat, and it’s been proven that I have indeed gained weight. Once a woman gets fat, men start to disdain her. In a few more years, not only will I have gotten fat, but I will have aged whereas you, President Shen, will still be in your prime. By that time…”

Xu Chaomu paused, looking at him under the streetlight.

She intentionally stopped there, expecting some reaction, but the man showed none at all.

The light from the streetlamp was soft, with tiny insects flying in circles around the bulb, constantly buzzing. The surroundings were still very quiet, with no people in sight or sound of cars passing by.

The path they were on was lined with flowers and trees, and the faint scent carried by the wind was refreshing.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Xu Chaomu was unhappy.

She had said so much, yet he didn’t respond at all?

“I’m listening to you, aren’t I?”

“Oh.” Xu Chaomu pouted, “Then I’ll continue. Wait till I get fat, till I age, when my skin isn’t so fair and my cheeks aren’t as pretty. You’ll dislike looking at me, and then you’ll kick me out. By that time, I might not even be able to marry anymore.”

“Hmm.”

“Am I right? That’s what you mean.”

“It sounds like you think your skin is very fair and your cheeks are pretty now.”

“Shen Chi! You damn well piss off!” Xu Chaomu raged.

Furious, seething with anger! She wished she could slap him!

She was so angry she was shivering; this man’s mouth was always so venomous.

“Hold on tight, don’t fall off!” Shen Chi looked at her with disdain, much calmer now.

“I don’t care, you definitely think so, and I’m not even ‘all washed up’ yet but you’re already annoyed I’ve gained weight.”

“A little fatter, feels better to the touch,” Shen Chi said blandly.

Xu Chaomu went silent immediately, touch… feels better.

Shameless!

“You better let me down.”

Even though his words weren’t pleasant to hear, his arm was still bleeding. She admitted she was quite heavy, but she couldn’t be blamed for that. It was his darling’s fault if anything!

She was afraid he couldn’t take it, after all, he really had been holding her for quite a while.

“Stop moving around!” Shen Chi looked down, his eyes cold as he warned her.

Seeing the coldness in his eyes, she didn’t dare to move. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

It was summer now, and there were only two layers of cloth between them. When she rubbed against him, she had already felt the change in his body.

If it weren’t for the injury to his arm, she definitely wouldn’t let him off right now.

She would have rubbed against him until he was desperate, parched with longing, yet completely helpless.

Shen Chi carried her on the path inside the residential area, following the winding road ahead.

“You still haven’t told me how you got injured,” Xu Chaomu asked.

“Just a careless scratch,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

He knew there would inevitably be a fierce fight between him and Shen Shihan.

Five years later, Xu Chaomu had grown colder toward Shen Shihan, but after all, Shen Chi had watched her grow up. She was kind-hearted; she couldn’t harbor hatred towards Shen Shihan.

If something were to ever happen to Shen Shihan, the girl would surely be upset.

Shen Shihan was cruel-hearted, but Xu Chaomu’s heart had always been too soft.

He wanted her to be happy forever, not to have to witness anything unpleasant.

“Careless?” Obviously, Xu Chaomu didn’t believe it, “You, being so cautious, how could you be so careless?”

“Are you complimenting me?”

“Don’t change the subject. Tell me, how did you hurt your arm?” Xu Chaomu persisted.

“I was hurt by a broken wine bottle when I tried to pick it up.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“If you don’t believe me, let it be,” Shen Chi didn’t particularly want to explain.

“Oh… I get it now!” Xu Chaomu’s eyes brightened.

“You know what?”

“You were with some women drinking, tried to make a move on them, they didn’t comply, smashed a wine bottle, and cut you, right?”

“Or maybe they wanted to make a move on me?”

“You! We can’t communicate!” Xu Chaomu fumed.

This man really didn’t know modesty, his skin was thicker than a city wall.

Shen Chi walked steadily towards Xiao Mo’s car, carrying Xu Chaomu. They left the residential complex and went to a more secluded area.

Xiao Mo’s car was parked there, and Xiao Mo sat quietly in the driver’s seat, looking straight ahead.

Shen Chi knocked on the car window, and Xiao Mo turned his head quickly.

Upon recognizing Shen Chi, he relaxed his guard.

But… Shen Chi was carrying a woman.

He didn’t even need to look; besides Xu Chaomu, Shen Chi wouldn’t carry anyone else.

He hopped out of the car, walking up to welcome Shen Chi.

Xu Chaomu saw Xiao Mo and her face turned red with embarrassment. She punched Shen Chi’s shoulder and whispered in his ear, “Put me down, Xiao Mo is here.”

“Xiao Mo is not a stranger,” Shen Chi said seriously on purpose.

Xu Chaomu’s face flushed even redder with shame. She tried to negotiate softly with him while he spoke so loudly.

Xiao Mo held back his laughter and opened the rear door of the car.

“President Shen, please,” he said.

“Hmm.”

Shen Chi placed Xu Chaomu gently on the back seat of the car. Only after she was seated securely did he sit down as well.

Xiao Mo got into the front passenger seat and asked, “President Shen, where to now?”

Seeing that Xu Chaomu was safe and sound, and apparently, nothing had happened just now, Xiao Mo relaxed a bit.

“To Waterside Pavilion.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Mo immediately started the car, knowing that Waterside Pavilion was a small villa purchased by Shen Chi, or more specifically, it was a villa he bought especially for Xu Chaomu.

Waterside Pavilion could not match the grandeur of the Shen Family’s villa, but it was more exquisite.

The design and decoration inside Waterside Pavilion had been personally supervised by Shen Chi, some of which he had handled himself, with much thought put into them.

However, after it was bought five years ago, Xu Chaomu had only been there once.

In the blink of an eye, five years had passed…

After Xu Chaomu left, Shen Chi also stopped going to Waterside Pavilion, leaving only a few servants to clean regularly, just as they had for five years, day in and day out.

When Xu Chaomu heard the name “Waterside Pavilion”, a myriad of thoughts surged in her mind.

Now that she knew some truths, she understood: her first time at Waterside Pavilion was the day they got their marriage certificate.

April 18th.

That day, he said, “Today is a good day.”

Yes, it was a good day. From that day on, she married him, and he promised her a lifetime.

Five years later, on that same day, their wedding anniversary, she was pregnant with their little bun.

The affairs of the world are always full of changes and unforeseeable events.

Just like her future with him, it remained unpredictable.

In this lifetime, could she and he stay hand in hand till old age?
