If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 890 - No Prospects Why the Tears

Chapter 890: Chapter 890: No Prospects, Why the Tears?

Chapter 890 -890: No Prospects, Why the Tears?

“If I can’t then I’ll learn,” Xu Chaomu muttered.

However, after she finished speaking, she lowered her head. That kind of person he was, why would he deign to hold a baby? Even Mrs. Qian had said, he was the favored son of heaven, why would he do something like holding a baby?

Besides, he was so indifferent to her now, she couldn’t fathom what he was thinking.

She didn’t even know if he would like the baby once it was born.

A trace of disappointment flickered in her eyes. She glanced at herself in the mirror, her lips twitched slightly, but she did not speak again.

After changing clothes, Butler Ling helped her down the stairs.

Shen Chi had just walked down from the balcony. He saw them and asked Butler Ling indifferently, “Did we have visitors just now?”

“Reporting to Young Master Shen, it was Mrs. Qian from next door who brought Chaomu back.” Butler Ling explained, “Chaomu got her clothes dirty when she was holding Mrs. Qian’s son.”

“Oh,” Shen Chi said nothing more.

Xu Chaomu grabbed Butler Ling’s hand and said with her head down, “Butler, accompany me for a walk in the garden, I don’t want to be cooped up at home.”

In truth, she didn’t want to face Shen Chi with his sour expression. If he wasn’t happy, neither was she; why bother to make each other miserable.

“I just remembered, there is a bone soup simmering in the kitchen that I need to check on. Those young servants are so clumsy, I don’t trust them with it,” Butler Ling pulled away her hand.

As she pulled away, she left the living room while saying, “Chaomu, I’ll be back later.”

“Butler! Butler!” Xu Chaomu called out.

But Butler Ling had already walked far away, hurrying so swiftly that she vanished from sight.

Now, only Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi were left in the living room, and the atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.

Xu Chaomu didn’t look up; she slowly made her way to the door, her belly protruding.

“The belly is big, don’t wander around,” Shen Chi suddenly spoke, his tone nonchalant, “We can talk about holding babies after the child is born. The weather’s cold, and if your clothes get dirty, you’ll have to change them. Catching a cold is no jest.”

Shen Chi’s tone was very bland, so bland that even though his words were caring, they sounded utterly unemotional.

Xu Chaomu’s body stiffened. She couldn’t tell if his words were a form of care or a reproach.

Either way, that tone made her heart go cold.

“It’s just holding a baby,” Xu Chaomu replied in the same tone.

Without turning her head, she reached the living room door, opened it, and prepared to leave.

“I know you have complaints about me,” Shen Chi’s voice arose from behind her, detached, showing no trace of emotion, “Let’s both have some quiet time.”

Xu Chaomu was puzzled by the meaning behind his words. She paused in her steps, waiting for him to continue.

Shen Chi’s expression was unchanged, emotionless. Tall and slender, he stood there in the living room, appearing detached from the world but exuding an icy coldness, not a hint of warmth or liveliness.

“It just so happens that the conglomerate is undertaking a transnational merger case.” Shen Chi spoke slowly, his voice deep, “I’ll likely need to go abroad for half a month. If there’s anything, you can call me.”

Xu Chaomu’s heart chilled instantly. His tone of speaking didn’t seem to be addressing her, but rather a subordinate.

She leaned against the wall, struggling to keep her emotions in check, but still, her hands shook slightly, betraying her.

Shen Chi continued, “I’m leaving tomorrow morning. Take care of yourself.”

His voice was soft, and after he had spoken, the living room fell into a brief silence.

Xu Chaomu could almost hear her heartbeat, thumping loudly as if it was about to leap out of her chest.

It took her a long time to regain control over her emotions.

Fortunately, she was facing away from him, and he saw nothing.

She lifted her head slightly, and though her eyes were moist, she managed to keep tears from falling.

“There’s no need to tell me,” Xu Chaomu replied faintly, her voice breaking.

She couldn’t go on, afraid that saying just one more word would make her cry, always feeling a sour taste in her throat.

She opened the door and ran out.

Yes, let it be quiet, quiet is good.

She walked alone into the garden, not heading for the large garden, but to a smaller, more secluded garden of the Shen Family.

The small garden didn’t have many flowers, but there was a pavilion, surrounded by green grass everywhere.

After Xu Chaomu walked down the trail, she couldn’t hold back any longer, and her tears fell “plop” “plop”.

She thought she was growing less and less dignified, in the past, she didn’t cry.

The cross-border acquisition case, leaving tomorrow morning, fifteen days… Ah, Xu Chaomu let out a laugh, one that seemed somewhat unsightly and forced.

The engagement party for Bai Man is in ten days, isn’t it? If he’s in a bad mood, could it also be because of this?

Xu Chaomu shook her head helplessly, leaning on a stone table, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

He said he had never liked Bai Man, which she actually didn’t believe, because… that’s what men say to flatter women.

Although she didn’t believe him, as long as he treated her well now, she wouldn’t fuss over these things of the past, but now…

Well, let it all be quiet, half a month, that’s enough.

If that’s still not enough, then half a year, one year, two years…

If one or two years still aren’t enough, then it can only mean that they really aren’t suitable for each other. After all, the gap between them was already significant.

If after trying to adjust they ended up truly unsuitable, then they should just part ways, she had nothing to say.

After crying for a minute, Xu Chaomu wiped her tears away and stopped crying.

How pathetic, what’s there to cry about, she scolded herself internally.

The sun was quite pleasant today, and it wasn’t cold in the pavilion. After wiping away her tears, Xu Chaomu sat on the stone bench, silently admiring the scenery before her.

In the distance, the azure sky stretched to meet the limitless withered grass, a vista so expansive, looking even further, there were green waters and mountains.

Xu Chaomu sat quietly, no longer thinking about Shen Chi.

The more she thought, the more she couldn’t cut through the chaos that entangled her.

The sunlight shone on her, warming her body, as she tried her best to think of happy things, to enjoy the beauty of the moment, struggling to maintain a peaceful state of mind.

In the living room, after Xu Chaomu left, Shen Chi went back to his own room to pack his luggage in a simple manner.

Half a month’s time, isn’t too short.

He had just been away from her for six days, only to return home for two, now he had to go abroad again.

There was nothing challenging about this acquisition case; he could have resolved it perfectly without personally attending. But now, his thoughts were in disarray, and he truly needed some quiet.

When he saw her today, she was not wearing that ring.

He had put it on her finger after the proposal, and she had cherished it like a treasure, never willing to take it off. But today, when he saw her, she wasn’t wearing it.

His brow furrowed as he thought of these things, and his head started to hurt.

He decisively strode to his bedroom, not wanting to think about anything, packed his luggage, and then took his laptop to work on the balcony.

He was very immersed when working, and it also allowed him to quiet his mind as much as possible.

Butler Ling intentionally went to the kitchen, and when he came back, he found Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi were absent from both the living room and the balcony.

Where had these two gone?

He had purposely given them some space, and it hadn’t been long… why were they nowhere to be seen?
