If You Could Hear My Heart

“Mo Shuifu, who are you going to testify for?” Shen Shihan’s voice was cold as he approached her step by step, like the Grim Reaper.

Already tall, his face now bore signs of anger; it was gloomy and dark, adding an especially oppressive atmosphere to the room.

Mo Shuifu quickly stood up in fright, her lips pale and even her fingertips trembling.

Her heart was like a frightened deer, thumping uncontrollably.

Shen Chi also looked up, meeting Shen Shihan’s gaze head-on.

Their four shadowed eyes collided, sparking a fierce fire.

“Y-you, why are you here…” Mo Shuifu’s voice shook.

“This is my home, why can’t I be here? I should be the one asking you, why are you here?”

Shen Shihan moved his gaze onto her face and sneered coldly.

Mo Shuifu evaded his gaze, avoiding him, “I’m here to see the Fourth Young Master; I have business with him.”

Shen Chi spoke indifferently, “Third Brother, what a coincidence, you come back just as I return.”

“What are you trying to say?” Shen Shihan turned his head.

“Say what?” Shen Chi sneered coldly, “Chaomu’s life and death are uncertain. Are you happy, Shen Shihan? Have you finally scored a point against me, Shen Chi?”

Shen Shihan frowned, his black suit accentuating his cold and forbidding air.

“Shen Chi, Xu Chaomu is your sister, and she is also my sister. Putting aside our struggles over interests, I have always hoped for her to be safe.”

Mo Shuifu found it ludicrous, as she mercilessly pierced through the pretense, “Shen Shihan, if you really considered Chaomu your sister, would you have let Zhou Peitian kidnap her? Do you know the trouble she went through to escape from one place, covered in blood, and freezing cold? Even then, you had her captured again; do you even have a heart?”

Hearing Mo Shuifu’s words reopened the gash in Shen Chi’s heart, the pain throbbing nonstop.

He had seen Xu Chaomu in her wretched state, covered in injuries, her clothes stained with blood.

Shen Chi’s face grew even colder and more frigid, “Shen Shihan, you’ve always been more ruthless than I am.”

Shen Shihan responded dispassionately, “I never intended to hurt Chaomu, but many things in this world are unpredictable.”

“Shen Shihan, you’re really good at making excuses for yourself,” Shen Chi sneered coldly, “Kidnapping her isn’t enough, then what is? Personally killing her with a knife?”

Mo Shuifu also became angry, “Shen Shihan, you’re nothing but a heartless, cold-blooded devil.”

“Mo Shuifu, shut up!” Shen Shihan snapped angrily.

Shen Chi stood up abruptly, his movement large enough to overturn the coffee table in front of him, and gave Shen Shihan a cold glare, “Shen Shihan, rest assured, if I can’t find Chaomu in this lifetime, I’ll make sure you pay the price.”

“Shen Chi, in the competition for interests, it’s either you die or I live. Put your hand on your heart and ask, don’t you feel you’ve wronged Chaomu even a little?”

Shen Shihan thought, Shen Chi knew what he meant.

Suddenly, Shen Chi stood up, but due to the extent of his movement, the coffee table flipped over with a loud crash, glass cups and a purple clay pot shattered on the ground!

“Shen Shihan, get out.”

That incident became an unspeakable pain in Shen Chi’s heart.

Shen Shihan sneered and turned to leave, but as he was going, he grabbed Mo Shuifu’s wrist.

“Shen Shihan, let go of me…”

“Mo Shuifu, you dare come to the Shen Family again? You really take my words as a breeze past your ears, don’t you?”

“You said you’d let me go and wouldn’t interfere with me. You truly are a man of empty promises!”

“I said I’d let you go, but I never said I’d let you come to the Shen Family, let you come looking for Shen Chi! If it weren’t for someone alerting me today, were you planning to get involved with Shen Chi again? Huh?”

Crossing the small garden, passing a stone path, Shen Shihan dragged Mo Shuifu towards the west wing.

Upon entering his room, he forcefully closed the door!

Only then did he let go of her, flinging Mo Shuifu onto the bed!

Shen Shihan, his face steely, looked down at Mo Shuifu from above.

“Shen Shihan, don’t assume everyone’s as despicable as you!”

“Is that so? You’ve been trying every possible way to leave me, yet you can’t bear to part with Shen Chi. Do you like him that much? Now that Chaomu has vanished and Bai Man has called off the engagement, are you planning to seize the opportunity?”

Mo Shuifu was so angry she grit her teeth, “Shen Shihan, how can you say such a thing? Yes, I like Shen Chi, but I have never thought of destroying his relationship with anyone!”

Shen Shihan leaned in close, pinning her chin, “True, but one way or another, we have been intimate, haven’t we?”

Mo Shuifu’s face immediately turned pale, that was her silent agony.

Forced by the need to repay debts, she had given herself to him, and from then on, she could never go back. She lost all right to love someone else.

Mo Shuifu bit her lips hard, her large eyes filled with hatred.

“Don’t look at me like that; I’m only stating the facts. I can let you go, but that doesn’t mean I’d let you be with another man. In this life, you either marry me or remain alone until you die.”

To remain alone until death… such a cruel curse.

Mo Shuifu’s heart grew colder bit by bit as her eyes brimmed with tears.

“Shuifu…” He hated seeing her like this, this version of her made him feel helpless.

He bent down, wrapping his arms around her shoulders, leaning in to kiss her brows and eyes…

“Don’t touch me,” Mo Shuifu turned her head away with disgust, refusing his touch.

Shen Shihan looked at her, just two centimeters away.

“Shuifu, why can’t you just accommodate me a bit? Is marrying me really that bad?”

“Third Master, I, Mo Shuifu, am not worthy of you. A scion like you, who can resort to any despicable means as a ‘business elite,’ what do I have that matches you?”

“Mo Shuifu, you!” Shen Shihan was truly angered by her.

He lowered his head to stroke her cheek, helpless, “Don’t concern yourself with business matters.”

“I won’t, why should I bother with someone unrelated to me? Third Master Shen, take your hand away and let me go.”

“In the future, don’t see Shen Chi again!”

His fingers caressed her chin and cheek, missing her for more than a dozen days, his yearning grew day by day.

If he had the choice, he truly didn’t want to let her go.

“Fine… I won’t see him, nor will I see you,” Mo Shuifu’s voice was filled with sorrow.

Shen Shihan couldn’t control his emotions, and he felt a pain in his chest.

He cradled her cheeks and kissed her cool lips.

Mo Shuifu didn’t expect him to touch her, and she struggled desperately…

Shen Shihan buried himself deeper, quickly intensifying the kiss.

He was addicted to the fragrance of her hair, the sweet taste of her, addicted to everything about her…

“Mmm…” Mo Shuifu tried to push him away, but to no avail.

Shen Shihan pressed down on her body, kissing her deeper and deeper, with no intention of letting her go.

There’s a type of longing described as, ‘One day apart feels like madness.’
