If You Could Hear My Heart

At the moment, Shen Shihan was dressed in a dark shirt, exuding a chilling aura.

Indeed, five years change everything.

Five years ago, she remembered going out for barbecue with him. When leaving, unable to part easily, she even turned around to hug him.

Five years later, she would no longer make such a gesture.

“I have matters to discuss with Shui Fu; I must take her back with me. Chaomu, step aside,” Shen Shihan insisted firmly.

“What’s so urgent that it can’t wait until tomorrow? You can come back then,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.

She could tell that Shen Shihan was not in a good mood, and she was worried that Mo Shuifu might be at a disadvantage.

“Chaomu, you needn’t interfere with the matters between me and Shui Fu,” Shen Shihan said with furrowed brows.

Mo Shuifu knew that if she didn’t go with Shen Shihan tonight, his anger would only grow by tomorrow.

How could he allow her to spend the night at the Shen Family’s house!

She steadied her gaze and softly said to Xu Chaomu, “Chaomu, since Shihan says he has matters to discuss with me, then I’ll go back with him first.”

“Shui Fu!” Xu Chaomu was genuinely anxious.

“It’s okay.” Mo Shuifu smiled and squeezed Xu Chaomu’s hand.

Shen Shihan clenched his fists tighter and tighter, clearly smelling the scent of alcohol on Mo Shuifu.

Xu Chaomu wasn’t giving in; if she gave in, who knew what sort of stormy confrontation they might have when the two went back!

Although she didn’t know exactly what Shen Shihan felt for Mo Shuifu, she wouldn’t let Shuifu suffer any immediate loss.

“Shui Fu, didn’t we agree to sleep together and chat tonight? If you go back with third brother, you’re going back on your word,” Xu Chaomu protested.

“Chaomu, I’ll keep you company another day,” Shui Fu had no choice but to say.

Shen Shihan, growing impatient, gently pushed Xu Chaomu aside, trying to pull Mo Shuifu, who was behind her, back to him.

But he didn’t notice the broken glass behind Xu Chaomu’s feet, and with his push, Xu Chaomu stepped back dangerously close to the shards!

Just as she was about to step on the broken glass, Shen Chi quickly stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her waist!

His large hand firmly circled Xu Chaomu’s waist and pulled her to safety with force.

“Ah!” Xu Chaomu cried out in shock, patting her chest.

That was close, too close.

If she had actually stepped on the glass, the pain would have been unbearable.

Shen Chi hadn’t wanted to get involved, but since Shen Shihan had laid hands on Xu Chaomu, he couldn’t be accused of being unkind.

He grabbed Shen Shihan’s wrist, his eyes filled with icy coldness: “Shen Shihan, who allowed you to touch Chaomu?”

Five years ago, he hadn’t protected her well; five years later, he would do everything in his power to protect her.

“I’m sorry,” Shen Shihan apologized gravely.

It wasn’t intentional, but he didn’t expect Shen Chi to react so strongly.

Even more so than five years ago.

“In the future, if you dare to lay a finger on Chaomu, I, Shen Chi, won’t hesitate to see it through to the end.”

His words were a clear warning and also contained all the anger from that incident five years ago.

Between him and Shen Shihan, a real confrontation had yet to begin.

At this moment, the atmosphere was taut with tension.

Xu Chaomu remained silent; indeed, Shen Shihan had gone too far five years ago, breaking her heart thoroughly.

Therefore, she made no further comment on Shen Chi’s words.

Shen Shihan pulled his wrist from Shen Chi’s grip, his eyes also filled with cool detachment.

The recent incident was indeed his fault, and he had no rebuttal.

Mo Shuifu hurried to Shen Shihan’s side, looking up at him she said, “I’ll go back with you.”

Shen Shihan, face set in a stern expression, remained silent, grabbing Mo Shuifu’s right wrist and dragging her towards the main door!

Mo Shuifu, wearing high heels, stumbled and nearly fell as he pulled her along.

“Shihan!” Mo Shuifu twisted her ankle, anger creasing her brows.

But her nature was gentle, so even in anger, she couldn’t spit out harsh words.

Shen Shihan bent down, picked her up, and carried her to the car!

Their silhouettes quickly disappeared into the night, leaving the living room in silence.

Shen Chi clenched his fists and stood in place, while Xu Chaomu, from behind him, sneakily stared at his straight back for a moment.

Suddenly, she smiled, breaking the quiet.

“President Shen, do you really care about me?” she teased.

His behavior just now had indeed pleased her.

Only then did Shen Chi turn around, and upon seeing Xu Chaomu’s smiling face, his anger dissipated.

He lowered his head, pinched her cheek, and smiled slightly: “Say ‘husband’.”

“Get lost!” Xu Chaomu swatted his hand away and glared at him.

“Ungrateful girl.”

Shen Chi didn’t move away; instead, he moved closer, touching here and there, and suddenly pulled her into his arms, pressing her down on the sofa.

Leaning over her, he pinned her beneath him; as he lowered his head, their noses barely touched.

Xu Chaomu’s eyes widened, and just as she was about to push him away, he caught her hands.

“Mumu, let me give you a kiss. You should know that your husband loves you,” he said.

“Shameless!” Xu Chaomu retorted indignantly.

“Fine, I won’t kiss your face then.”

“Mmm…”

Shen Chi’s lips met hers, delivering a gentle bite, and the sweetness of her lips was like delicious summer ice cream, irresistible.

Xu Chaomu shivered, trying to speak.

With a twist of her body, the beast pinned her even deeper; another move, and he kissed her with even more fervor.

The deeper the kiss, the words she wanted to say were sealed within that kiss.

Having not seen her for five years, he felt an urge to meld her into his being.

Xu Chaomu too was exasperated; this man always seemed insatiable.

Shen Chi captured her lips, assaulting the citadel. Their teeth entwined, their breathing grew heavy. But what frustrated him was that the girl beneath him never seemed to learn how to respond to him.

Silly beyond cure; fine, he’d just need to put in more effort, willing to teach her more in the future.

Xu Chaomu’s face flushed. The door to the living room was still open. If a servant walked in later, how would she ever hold her head up again?

Their current position couldn’t be more suggestive.

Shen Chi, having had a few drinks, found her demeanor even more endearing. Amidst his surging emotions, his hands started to misbehave, gliding and exploring.

Lifting her T-shirt, his palm followed her abdomen upwards.

Every touch ignited a fierce warmth within her. His large hand slowly slid to her back, and with a deft flick of his finger, he unhooked her bra.

The air conditioning and the breeze from outside were cool, but Shen Chi emanated an unsettling heat.
