If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 764 - : The Little Fairy who Stole his Soul
Chapter 764: Chapter 764: The Little Fairy who Stole his Soul
The two were fooling around, with Shen Chi refusing to let go, continuing to search her body.
Xu Chaomu evaded, not letting him come close.
Wealth, the silly adorable dog, seemed oblivious, happily munching away on something under the table.
Finally, Shen Chi found her cellphone.
Having no other choice, Xu Chaomu watched as he took her phone away. Moreover, the shameless man even took the opportunity to grope her chest after snatching the phone.
“Shen Chi, you really are shameless,” Xu Chaomu rebuked angrily.
...
“If you resent me taking advantage, you can grope me back,” Shen Chi hinted with a lift of his lips.
This time, Xu Chaomu didn’t hold back; she stood up, moved beside him, and looked at him playfully, “Grope you back, huh? Fine…”
And so, the next second, Shen Chi’s face turned green.
“Xu Chaomu, you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow!” Shen Chi’s face darkened as he gnashed his teeth.
This little woman, oblivious to how heavy her actions were, knew exactly where a man’s most fatal weakness lay and directly reached out to touch it.

After the act, Xu Chaomu sat back in her seat as calm as ever.
“Do you think I wouldn’t dare?” Xu Chaomu huffed coldly.
Shen Chi had truly underestimated this little woman; he used to think she was shy, but now he realized she had become shameless as well.
“Come on, Wealth, eat up,” Xu Chaomu’s mood instantly brightened.
She threw a rib to Wealth and silently fed it.
Wealth was utterly satisfied, its big eyes gleaming with happiness as it hopped around joyfully while eating.
Shen Chi decided not to argue with her and unlocked her phone instead.
He went through her call log and sure enough, besides the calls he had answered, there was one he hadn’t received.
However, even though he hadn’t received it, the call duration spanned several minutes!
Xu Chaomu, noticing his engrossment, thought he distrusted her and her tone became much colder, “Do you suspect that while you were not at home I was fooling around with other men? Too bad I’m not you, still chased by people even though you’re married.”
Xu Chaomu was again reminded of Bai Man and she continued indifferently, “You’re charismatic; even if you age ten years, twenty years, you’d still have countless young girls attracted to you. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for me. I’m pregnant now, who would dare chase me? And in the future, when I grow old, you probably won’t want me anymore.”
Shen Chi didn’t speak; he just silently put down the phone and watched her.
Xu Chaomu was unaware he was watching her; she just lowered her head, silently staring at the white rice in her bowl, talking to herself.
“Honestly, you don’t need to check my phone; I haven’t had any contact with Nie Chenglang anymore, no one’s interested in a pregnant woman.”
“Are you finished talking?” Shen Chi finally spoke.
Xu Chaomu was startled and looked up, only to realize that Shen Chi had been watching her all along.
Embarrassed, she pursed her lips. Was what she said incorrect?
“So much nonsense,” Shen Chi commented unhappily.
Talking about stuff like “You’re charismatic, even if you age ten years, twenty years, you’d still have countless young girls attracted to you”… What on earth was she filling her head with?
“That’s not nonsense,” Xu Chaomu mumbled.
“Who answered this call?” Shen Chi lifted the phone, pointing to the record of that call and asked her.
Xu Chaomu’s heart skipped a beat as she looked up, realizing it was that particular call…
He truly didn’t know.
Shen Chi’s brows furrowed, a trace of coldness on his face.
“Do you really want to know?” Xu Chaomu asked calmly.
“Nonsense! Tell me!” Shen Chi snarled, wishing he could chop her up.
“Bai Man answered it,” Xu Chaomu didn’t hide it from him, her face emotionless, even tranquil like calm waters.
It was Shen Chi who was shocked momentarily, a deep darkness flashing in his eyes.
Before he could speak, Xu Chaomu beat him to it, saying, “You don’t have to explain anything to me. When I saw the newspaper today, I wasn’t much surprised because, before the newspaper, Bai Man had answered my call using your phone.”
Xu Chaomu didn’t give him a chance to retort and continued, “You say you just ran into her at the reception, but I don’t believe it for a second. I know you’re lying to me, but what can I do?”
“What can I do? You and she were first loves, and she was always the one you loved most. I came later and could never overthrow the first love in your heart.”
“They say first love is the sweetest, and it’s normal that you can’t forget her. I understand. If you really can’t let go of her, I can step aside. After all, you two meeting again after five years is fate, reigniting old flames is quite normal.”
Xu Chaomu spoke incessantly, Shen Chi’s face growing darker by the word.
“Xu Chaomu, you sure talk a lot of nonsense!”
All those words, not one pleasant to the ear, all nonsense!
First love? Who exactly was his first love?! Who was the little fairy that had captured his soul?!
“I wasn’t talking nonsense.” Xu Chaomu was somewhat dissatisfied, “I was just stating the facts. After all, back then, it was her you exchanged for with the contract, not me.”
Xu Chaomu brought up that event on the cruise ship again, where the contract could only exchange one person, and he chose Bai Man’s life.
This matter, she had actually always held onto, just never voiced it.
Many things, unspoken, do not mean forgotten.
“Xu Chaomu, don’t you understand why I exchanged her life with the contract and not yours?”
Xu Chaomu looked up at him with watery eyes, indeed, she didn’t understand.
“By exchanging the contract for her life, from then on, the Shen Family and the Bai Family were even!” Shen Chi said, “As for you, I exchanged your life with my own, isn’t that enough?!”
Shen Chi’s emotions became slightly stirred; back then, his thought was, if he used his own life to exchange for hers, he would definitely be able to rescue her from Zhou Peitian’s grasp.
This time, Xu Chaomu was the one stunned. His meaning was…
“It’s just a pity you didn’t give me a chance to protect you; instead, you took that bullet for me.”
That incident had been a cause of guilt for Shen Chi to this day.
Fortunately, the explosion this time allowed him to save her, somewhat making up for a small regret in his heart.
“Mumu, I once selfishly thought, if I couldn’t save you, either I would die or we would die together, that way, there’d be no regrets.”
Xu Chaomu hadn’t yet recovered, just staring at him, forgetting even to blink…
“Only, the later events, I didn’t anticipate.”
The outcome was beyond his expectations; that parting lasted a full five years.
“So,” Shen Chi said with a more serious tone, “Xu Chaomu, dare you still say Bai Man was my first love?!”
“I…”
“Apologize!” Shen Chi’s pride surfaced.
“I…,” Xu Chaomu found herself at a loss for words.
“Apologize to me, and I’ll let this slide.”
“I…I won’t apologize,” Xu Chaomu couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Besides, hadn’t he still not explained to her about the phone call?
