If You Could Hear My Heart

“How is an apology enough?” the nurse added fuel to the fire, “Miss Jian, don’t be too kind-hearted toward her. Otherwise, in the future, every Tom, Dick, and Harry will dare to bully you.”

“You’re right. Look, my leather shoes are dirty. Come here and clean them for me. Clean them well, and maybe I’ll be in a better mood.”

Jian Sisi lifted her skirt, looking down at her white leather shoes.

Xu Chaomu also glanced at them for a moment. These white leather shoes were custom made by hand, surely not cheap.

And there was also the jade bracelet and White Pearls on Jian Sisi’s hands, the blue diamond on her neck…

Xu Chaomu felt displeased again.

“If your shoes are dirty, just take them off. Walking barefoot won’t waste the shoes,” Xu Chaomu said disdainfully.

“You!” Jian Sisi was choked by Xu Chaomu again, “You really don’t know what’s good for you, not knowing when to step down gracefully.”

“Please make another call to hurry it up; is Mr. Shen not concerned about you? Why hasn’t he come yet? It’s so hot.” Xu Chaomu said as if nothing was happening.

“He’s always very busy, unlike your husband, a Taekwondo instructor, how much can he earn a day?”

“Even though he doesn’t earn much, he only has one wife, me. Unlike your Mr. Shen of the Shen Group, surrounded by mistresses left and right, too many to count on one hand. Miss Jian, have you ever counted, which number mistress are you?”

“Trying to make me angry? Rest assured, I’m broad-minded, I won’t get angry with someone like you. You’re just sour because you can’t eat the grapes; I understand completely. Of course, Mr. Shen wouldn’t like you either.”

Jian Sisi touched her belly, curving her lips into a smile.

“That Shen Chi, dark and moody with a poisonous tongue and without morals, vulgar and shameless. Even if he came begging to me, I wouldn’t want him,” Xu Chaomu said.

Shen Chi arrived just in time, quite coincidentally, to hear Xu Chaomu’s words.

The corner of his mouth twitched; couldn’t she spare him some worry?

The good image he had built over the past twenty years was almost completely ruined by her.

She was a professional at sabotaging him!

“Wife, stop making trouble!” Shen Chi frowned, looked at Xu Chaomu dotingly, and strode toward them.

When he received Jian Sisi’s call, he worried it might be a quarrel with Xu Chaomu, but as it turned out, it really was.

Indeed, it’s a small world for enemies.

Jian Sisi was actually taken aback; she thought Shen Chi was calling her.

He had never called her that in all this time!

She was full of surprise. Was Shen Chi accepting her?

It must be, she knew she would be able to change him.

Just as Jian Sisi was about to speak, Xu Chaomu glared at Shen Chi resentfully: “Your mistress is quite arrogant.”

Shen Chi stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulder, and spoke in a low voice, “What’s up?”

“She said she wants to hit me.” Xu Chaomu snorted coldly, immediately tattling.

Jian Sisi was utterly stunned, staring blankly, her face one of disbelief.

This… could this young woman be the rumored new favorite of Shen Chi, the surnamed Xu vixen?

The nurse was also shocked, stepping back two steps in a hurry.

They were done for, completely done for.

“Is that so?” Shen Chi looked up, his gaze sharp and frosty as he swept it toward Jian Sisi, strikingly imposing.

“No, that’s not it, Mr. Shen, don’t listen to her nonsense. I didn’t know who she was to you, but she did bump into me, and I only asked for an apology, she is just playing the victim here,” Jian Sisi argued insistently, her face red.

“I didn’t bump into her,” Xu Chaomu lifted her head and stared into Shen Chi’s eyes.

“Mmm, you didn’t,” Shen Chi touched her little head.

Xu Chaomu looked especially obedient and innocent like this, and Shen Chi particularly liked her this way, his heart melting.

“Mr. Shen, how can you not distinguish right from wrong? She did bump into me,” Jian Sisi protested.

“Whatever my wife says is what it is,” Shen Chi scolded.

“Wife? Mr. Shen, when did I not know you got married?” Jian Sisi couldn’t believe it and was defiant.

She looked at the man in the dark shirt under the sunshine, far from the cold and ruthless, decisive character in Shen’s Group, obviously in a protective display.

In four years, she had never seen Shen Chi like this.

“Do I need to report to you about my marriage?” Shen Chi shot an icy glance.

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop sharply!

“I don’t believe it. She just said her husband is a Taekwondo instructor. Mr. Shen, are you now willing to stoop so low to get involved with a married woman? You have quite the taste,” Jian Sisi scoffed.

“Wife, that’s not nice,” Shen Chi purposely touched her head and whispered, lowering his voice, “Be careful, or I’ll make sure you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow.”

Damn it! Broad daylight! At this very moment, Xu Chaomu felt like there were millions of grass-mud horses roaring inside her!

She wished she could kick Shen Chi a few times.

“Tell her, what are you to me?” Shen Chi wrapped his hand around her waist again.

Xu Chaomu was in a dilemma; this man was doing it on purpose.

To say it, she wasn’t willing; not to say it, and Jian Sisi would be smug.

“Mmm?” Shen Chi pinched her waist secretly again.

Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched, she had no choice…

“Husband.” She spat out the word quickly and indistinctly.

“Mmm,” Shen Chi was satisfied, his lips curving upward.

The nurse really wanted to run away; this was how a couple should flaunt their love, openly and proudly.

Done for, completely done for…

“Shen, Mr. Shen, I…” Jian Sisi was a bit incoherent.

Shen Chi simply didn’t bother with her at all, his attention was solely on Xu Chaomu.

“Mumu, did she just say she wanted to hit you?”

“Yeah, she wants to slap me ten times, I’m so scared.” Xu Chaomu dropped all her inhibitions, “She also asked me to clean her shoes, so scary. They also said the clothes you buy are like from a street stall, but looking at them, they do seem like street stall goods…”

“Mr. Shen, I was just joking with her,” Jian Sisi quickly explained.

“Mumu, if she wants to slap you ten times, you slap her twenty times. If she wants you to clean her shoes, make her walk barefoot on a pebble road. An eye for an eye; how come you just can’t remember that.” Shen Chi ruffled her hair, his gaze filled with tenderness for her alone.

Jian Sisi stepped back two steps, her face pale with shock, covering her belly: “Mr. Shen, you can’t do this to me, I’m carrying your child in my belly!”

She knew that Shen Chi was a man of his word.

“Forget it, let her apologize and leave,” Xu Chaomu wasn’t interested in squabbling with Jian Sisi.

In fact, she was curious about whose child Jian Sisi was carrying.

If it really was Shen Chi’s…

“Mumu…” Shen Chi furrowed his brows, about to say something.

But Jian Sisi spoke first: “I’m sorry.”

After uttering these words, she didn’t care about anything else and ran off flustered.

So this young woman was Xu Chaomu. But really, was she married to Shen Chi?

Impossible, Shen Chi had never told anyone he was married.
