If You Could Hear My Heart

What’s the point of lying down if I’m not sleeping with him!

Xu Chaomu’s rogue spirit flared up again, and she pushed Shen Chi’s arm: “I don’t want to see it anymore, my tooth doesn’t hurt, I don’t want to see it!” “Even if it doesn’t hurt, lie down for me!” Shen Chi said in a cold voice.

He grabbed her wrist and pressed her down onto the bed. Her little claws were sharp, clinging to his arm without letting go, and her nails left a long bloody mark on Shen Chi’s arm.

The doctor didn’t know whether to hide or stay put. But to the doctor, this was nothing unusual; not only children, but adults are afraid of coming to the dentist.

“Shen Chi, stop bothering me, I said I won’t go and I mean it. I have nothing to do with you, if you keep this up, I’m going to sue you in court!”

Xu Chaomu was still struggling endlessly, her hands pinned by Shen Chi, and then her legs began kicking him!

“Lie down properly!” Shen Chi was annoyed and his face darkened, a chill emanating from his eyes.

Xu Chaomu used her hands and feet, but she was never a match for Shen Chi, and in a short while, she was subdued by him.

“Check her teeth!” Shen Chi snapped at the doctor standing by.

While Shen Chi was holding Xu Chaomu down, she tilted her little head and bit down hard on his arm!

Biting fiercely!

“Xu Chaomu, you!”

Shen Chi’s face turned pale in an instant, a piercing pain spreading throughout his body. His brows furrowed tightly, his blood flowing swiftly, and he almost subconsciously raised his hand.

Xu Chaomu glared at him and then let go.

“Go on, hit me!” In her eyes was defiance.

Shen Chi’s raised hand hung in mid-air, but it didn’t come down.

Slowly, he clenched his fist.

Finally, his hand dropped.

He couldn’t bear to hit her.

His arm was left with two rows of congested bite marks and a scratch from her nails. Shen Chi was helpless; he had never been this bruised, even when he had rushed into the mountains to save her.

The doctor stood by, truly in a dilemma, wondering whether to proceed or not.

Shen Chi let go of Xu Chaomu, not forcing her anymore, but spoke to her in a very firm tone: “If you don’t check it, the pain will just continue. Deal with it yourself!”

Xu Chaomu blinked her eyes and relented. Her tooth had been hurting for many days, and the doctor had said it had to be pulled.

Finally, she obediently lay down, closing her eyes in agony as if it would cost her life.

Shen Chi looked on helplessly, unable to do anything with her.

Xu Chaomu’s little hand clutched the bedsheet, eyelashes trembling with fear, and there was silence all around, only the sound of the doctor’s work could be heard.

The doctor picked up a cotton ball with tweezers, and turned on the headboard light: “Open up.”

Xu Chaomu obediently opened her mouth, the yellow light casting shadows on her face, but she couldn’t suppress the shaking of her body.

Fear, dread, panic.

Shen Chi took her hand and held her little hand in his palm.

A warm flow came from the palm, spreading throughout her body, warming Xu Chaomu’s heart.

“You have a cavity in one tooth, it’ll be fine once it’s pulled,” the doctor said.

“Hmm,” Shen Chi responded with a furrowed brow.

The clinic fell silent, Xu Chaomu knowing she couldn’t avoid it, so she opened her eyes and gave Shen Chi a pitiful look.

“Fourth brother… I’m afraid of pain…”

Her watery eyes were filled with pitifulness, completely different from the assertive Xu Chaomu of before.

“Fourth brother is here with you,” Shen Chi said, frowning, tightening his grip on her hand.

Perhaps his resolute gaze gave her courage; she stared at him for a long time before obediently closing her eyes.

The doctor took up a syringe to anesthetize Xu Chaomu, expertly managing the procedure.

During this time, Shen Chi’s phone vibrated countless times, but everytime he ignored it and immediately hung up.

The orange light fell on her pale little face, every furrow of her brow tugging at his heart. He watched her quietly until the tooth extraction surgery was gradually completed.

When Bai Man’s car arrived at the hospital, it was already beginning to get light.

6:10! Shen Chi had indeed given up going to A City!

After hearing the news, Bai Man turned pale with rage, smashing several things! Nobody dared to stop the explosive sound of things breaking.

Racing over to the hospital, Bai Man hadn’t expected that at the entrance to the dental clinic’s building, Old Cheng was on guard.

Old Cheng lit a cigarette, standing at the entrance, his eyes sweeping the surroundings like those of an eagle. He had noticed Bai Man’s sports car as soon as it had approached.

“Where’s Shen Chi?” Bai Man got out of the car and demanded outright.

“President Shen is busy,” Old Cheng was terse.

Bai Man didn’t want to waste words with him and gave him a glance, stepping boldly past him in her red high heels!

“Miss Bai, at this hour, I’m afraid President Shen doesn’t really want to see anyone,” Old Cheng blocked her path, his gaze steely.

“Has he been bewitched by that little vixen? I need to see for myself what kind of skills this vixen has, at only eighteen, seducing men, huh.” Bai Man scoffed, and her words were unpleasant.

She felt she had been too kind to Xu Chaomu, always treating her like Shen Chi’s sister, but Xu Chaomu had never regarded her as a sister-in-law, openly competing with her for a man. Even she didn’t know what kind of love potion Xu Chaomu had given Shen Chi to make him ignore something as important as signing a contract in A City!

“Miss Bai, Miss Xu is here at the hospital just because she’s unwell, and President Shen is accompanying her. You’re reading too much into it,” Old Cheng was matter-of-fact.

But Old Cheng, being in his forties, was perceptive, and given that he was always with Shen Chi, he understood that Shen Chi’s feelings for Xu Chaomu were unusual.

However, he also knew Bai Man was Shen Chi’s fiancée, so he couldn’t be the one to stir up trouble.

“Miss Xu? You really regard her as a miss. In the Shen Family, who acknowledges her as a miss?” Bai Man’s tone was arrogant and dismissive.

“That’s the rule set by President Shen, no one can change it,” Old Cheng replied lightly.

“So, Old Cheng, are you going to let me go up or not?” Bai Man challenged him. “President Shen has instructed, so please go back, ” Old Cheng said calmly.

“You!” Bai Man was furious.

She decided to barge in; she didn’t believe Old Cheng would dare do anything to her!

She stood at the entrance, determined to make her way in. Old Cheng attempted to block her, but ultimately couldn’t stop her; he couldn’t really lay his hands on Bai Man, so he blocked the doorway instead.

Bai Man was completely at a loss; there was no way Old Cheng would let her pass.

She then tried calling Shen Chi, but he hung up each time.

Bai Man was so angry that her heart pounded; she was fuming.

“Miss Bai, you should go back. It’s quite cold outside, and if anything happens to you, President Shen will be worried,” Old Cheng tried to persuade her gently. “Worried? Would he worry about me? He’s got his eyes blinded by the little vixen,” Bai Man said through clenched teeth..
