If You Could Hear My Heart

Jian Sisi’s parents hurried to her aid, pulling her back in from the balcony.

They cried voicelessly, “Sisi, let’s go home. This kind of man is not worth it…”

“I don’t want your money!” Jian Sisi sneered coldly, “What do you take me for, Shen Chi!”

“If you don’t want it, forget it.”

Shen Chi wasn’t about to waste words with her. Dropping four icy words, he turned and left.

As soon as Shen Chi came out, reporters swarmed up, surrounding him!

“President Shen, what did you say to Miss Jian Sisi? Can you share anything?”

“President Shen, is Miss Jian Sisi one of your lovers?”

“President Shen, is this incident a publicity stunt by Shen Group?”

Shen Chi kept his mouth shut, his expression severe, and headed straight out!

“Click click”, the cameras flashed incessantly!

If it hadn’t been for drinking too much at that banquet and losing consciousness, how would he have become so entangled with this Jian Sisi!

Thinking of that night, Shen Chi’s brows furrowed.

Xiao Mo protected Shen Chi all the way to the group’s garage.

“Keep a close eye on that Jian Sisi,” Shen Chi told Xiao Mo.

“I understand. President Shen, don’t take it to heart. These kinds of girls are just hoping to marry into the Shen Family. After all, marrying into the Shen Family means a life without worries.”

“What’s so good about the Shen Family? Some people are trying every means possible to leave it.”

Xiao Mo was silent; he knew whom Shen Chi was referring to.

“So, President Shen, where to now?”

“Where else?”

Immediately understanding, Xiao Mo drove the car out of the garage and headed towards the hospital.

In the hospital, Xu Chaomu was about to leave when several nurses stopped her, refusing to budge.

With no other choice, Xu Chaomu turned on the television.

She couldn’t, after all, climb down the water pipes as she once did.

Just like when she escaped from a hospital on Sumatra Island five years ago, scaling down the building via the water pipes.

But now, there was a little baby inside her.

Her baby was only two months old, not strong enough to endure such rough handling.

With no other option, she switched on the TV, only to find several stations broadcasting live from Shen Group!

“Hello, viewers. At the moment, President Shen Chi of Shen Group has arrived at the scene.”

“Miss Jian Sisi has been with Shen Group for four years and has been linked to President Shen in numerous scandals. This time, Miss Jian even threatened to jump off a building to pressure President Shen.”

“There are rumors that President Shen dotes on Miss Jian, but others say that Miss Jian is merely his secretary. The woman President Shen truly loves is Miss Bai Man.”

“Let’s take another look at the situation on site. President Shen has now reached the tenth floor.”

Tsk, Xu Chaomu didn’t catch a word; she was fixated on the woman on the screen.

The woman was above average in looks and figure, but had one exceptional feature—voluptuous!

Xu Chaomu watched with envy. She looked down at herself and then back up, her face the picture of despair.

Five years had passed, and she thought this man would have changed his tastes. But no, he still liked them busty. Tacky!

“In less than ten minutes, President Shen came down from the tenth floor, and Miss Jian also left the balcony. Now, let’s speculate, what exactly did President Shen say to Miss Jian?”

Xu Chaomu murmured to herself while watching the TV, “What else could he say, just sweet-talking the young lady. Girls are easy to deceive, just promising them that he will definitely marry them later. Heh, such a scoundrel would have been beaten up long ago if he weren’t somewhat rich and good-looking.”

“At this very moment, President Shen has left Shen Group’s building, but the scene outside is still bustling. Next, we will follow up with an interview with Miss Jian.”

Xu Chaomu watched the screen intently; sure enough, a crowd of reporters began to stop Jian Sisi.

Jian Sisi was crying so hard she could barely speak, her makeup all smeared, refusing to face the camera, constantly covering her face with her hands.

Her white dress was quite pretty… and even… somewhat familiar.

White dress…

Her eyes lit up. Wasn’t that dress from Givenchy’s collection from five years ago?

She had liked it very much too. Later, Shen Chi bought one for her eighteenth birthday.

Heh, it was just an old model from five years ago.

Shen Chi sure knew how to economize when chasing women; probably, he had just given her the same dress he had bought for Jian Sisi.

Under the scorching sun, Jian Sisi, escorted by a group of people from Shen Group, was ready to leave the scene.

But the reporters swarmed like bees, following close behind.

“Miss Jian, can you reveal what President Shen said to you?”

“Miss Jian, there was talk that President Shen planned to marry you. Is it true?”

“Miss Jian, there are rumors that you are pregnant. Is it true?”

“Miss Jian…”

Xu Chaomu blinked. Marry her? Pregnant?

She had just returned to C City and was already witnessing such an exciting drama. Probably, there hadn’t been a lack of it over the last five years.

Shen Chi’s life was indeed never short of women. Even knowing his reputation, there would still be girls eager to throw themselves at him like moths to a flame.

Just like she had been five years ago, well aware it was a fire yet still diving in without a second thought.

In the end, the one who got hurt was always herself.

In the screen, whether it was due to the sweltering heat or the dense crowd,

Jian Sisi held her forehead, her lips white and large sweat beads forming. Suddenly, she collapsed forward!

“Miss Jian!” “Miss Jian!”

The crowd was in chaos, with flashes of cameras “clicking” non-stop!

“Quick, take Miss Jian to the hospital!”

“Snap!”

Just as Xu Chaomu was engrossed in the scene, a long, slender hand reached over forcefully turning off the TV switch!

“Even watching TV has to be regulated?” Xu Chaomu stood up and turned around immediately.

It was none other than Shen Chi.

His face was cold, having just returned from the group, and his complexion was still not very good.

“What’s there to see?” he said gravely.

“If you don’t find it interesting, don’t watch. It’s not on for you to watch. Of course, President Shen, having come straight from the scene, certainly doesn’t care about such broadcasts.”

“Sharp-tongued and quick-witted.”

Shen Chi actually smiled, his lips curving slightly upwards.

“President Shen, your woman has just fainted. Aren’t you going to see her?”

“My woman is standing right in front of me, isn’t she?”

Having said that, Shen Chi stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Don’t touch me! Take your hands off!”

“Stop making a fuss. I’m taking you home. I’ve had Butler Ling prepare a table full of dishes, just waiting for you to come back.”

As soon as Shen Chi mentioned Butler Ling, Xu Chaomu’s mind conjured the image of that kindly middle-aged woman.

Gentle and kind-hearted.

Although she often liked to tattle to Shen Chi, she had always looked out for her in the Shen Family.

Xu Chaomu’s heart was not made of iron. To say she didn’t miss her would be a lie.

She had been motherless since the age of ten and after arriving at the Shen Family, Butler Ling had been like a mother to her, treating her very well.
