If You Could Hear My Heart

And the ultimate key point is… both of them were smiling really happily!

Yu Weiwei wanted to change the channel quickly while Xu Chaomu wasn’t paying attention.

Who knew that Xu Chaomu caught sight of it, dropped the fish ball she was about to pop into her mouth: “Don’t touch it, don’t touch it, turn it back one channel.”

Yu Weiwei’s smile looked rather forced, but there was nothing she could do; she had to turn it back to the financial channel they had been on before.

It turned out to be a press conference, where Shen Group was signing a contract with some company. Yu Weiwei checked the date; it was a show from several months ago.

Perhaps they thought Shen Chi was easy on the eyes, so they kept replaying it?

At this moment, the signing ceremony was almost finished, and a group of people stood in a row for a photo op. Shen Chi and that woman stood in the center, the woman laughing very joyfully, and Shen Chi, also quite happy.

The woman’s hand had never left Shen Chi’s arm from start to finish, remaining looped through it.

“Chaomu, look, that woman is so ugly, her eyes almost disappear when she smiles. And her clothes, that taste, tsk tsk, she’s probably not that young anymore!” Yu Weiwei said disdainfully.

“She looks pretty good,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently, eyes fixed on the TV.

“No way, look at her chin, so sharp, she probably just got back from plastic surgery. No class, not a single redeeming quality.”

In the program, the flashbulbs “click-click” went off non-stop, and the stage lights were especially twinkling.

A group of elite men in suits and ties looked impeccably dressed and extraordinary in temperament.

The photo session didn’t last long, and then it was time for a Q&A with the journalists.

This segment was relatively relaxed; some even joked about Shen Chi and that woman.

Xu Chaomu lowered her eyelids, stopped talking, and stopped watching the TV, feeling a bit uncomfortable in her chest.

She picked up an octopus ball and bit into it slowly, one bite at a time.

Really hot.

She lowered her head to dip the ball into the sauce, bit harshly into it, and pondered over what she was feeling so upset about.

Seeing her lower her head, Yu Weiwei quickly changed the channel. She served Xu Chaomu some delicious ribs and dished out a bowl of fragrant soup for her.

“You’re pregnant, eat more nutritious food. My friend said that their family’s rib soup is specially prepared, no additives at all, pure, nutritious, and even beautifying.”

“It smells delicious,” Xu Chaomu replied without much expression, taking the soup and stirring it gently with a spoon.

There were goji berries and red dates in the soup, which looked very nutritious.

However, after watching that program, Xu Chaomu had become much quieter, just constantly eating.

Yu Weiwei felt guilty for carelessly flipping through TV channels.

Besides, that girl clearly still had Shen Chi in her heart, so why had she told her that she was about to get married?

Was she playing a joke? Yu Weiwei didn’t believe it. How could you just let go of someone you’ve loved for so many years?

Initially, Xu Chaomu had loved Shen Chi with her whole life.

For a long time, Xu Chaomu just kept eating, head down; Yu Weiwei would ask something, and she would only answer then.

After eating for a while, afraid that Xu Chaomu would overeat, Yu Weiwei took her bowl away: “Chaomu, you can’t eat anymore, too much food will cause indigestion.”

“I haven’t overeaten, I need to eat for two now. Weiwei, are you being stingy with your money?”

“Cut it out,” Yu Weiwei responded. “I’m serious, for the sake of the baby, you can’t overeat that much, you might get an upset stomach. Don’t blame me if your belly aches later.”

“It won’t, I haven’t even eaten my fill. Otherwise, my baby will protest.”

Xu Chaomu grabbed the bowl back from Yu Weiwei’s hands and continued to eat.

She touched her stomach; her child was being quiet today.

“Chaomu,” Yu Weiwei sighed, “are you still thinking about that show we just saw? That’s nothing to worry about, there’s definitely nothing going on between Shen Chi and that woman.”

“Weiwei,”

Xu Chaomu called out to her, her tone suddenly a bit heavy.

Stirring the soup in front of her, she watched quietly as the white steam slowly rose.

“Hm?” Yu Weiwei looked towards Xu Chaomu.

There was a misty and confused look in Xu Chaomu’s eyes, unclear whether it was because of the steam or because her vision was blurred.

“Do you believe it… I’ve known Shen Chi for thirteen years, and he has never taken me to Shen’s.”

Xu Chaomu’s voice was understated, even her voice slightly choked.

Yu Weiwei was also taken aback for a moment, even she had been there. Had Xu Chaomu really never visited? That’s… quite unbelievable.

After saying that, Xu Chaomu bowed her head again and continued to stir her bone broth.

The fragrance lingered at her nostrils as she watched the broth quietly; a thin layer of mist slowly gathered on her eyelashes, and she slowly reined in her emotions.

The dinner, Yu Weiwei didn’t enjoy it much either, but for fear that Xu Chaomu was sad, she suggested they go shopping together in the afternoon.

Xu Chaomu had come out today precisely to shop, so when she heard the suggestion, she agreed.

Yu Weiwei drove her little white BMW towards the largest commercial center in C City.

The commercial center was bustling, and they bought to their hearts’ content.

Xu Chaomu bought piles of clothes, picking the most expensive ones.

She knew she was pregnant and wouldn’t be able to fit into these clothes soon, they’d be out of fashion by next year. But she wanted to buy them anyway.

Not just clothes, she also bought a heap of useless things, like sportswear, sneakers, sleeping bags, sheets…

Yu Weiwei’s eyelid twitched, Xu Chaomu was clearly buying whatever she didn’t need.

In the end, Yu Weiwei ended up carrying bags big and small for Xu Chaomu.

The pair shopped until dark, and it was close to eight o’clock before Yu Weiwei finally pulled Xu Chaomu away.

In the car, there was everything Xu Chaomu had purchased; most of it was unnecessary.

For example, she had bought twenty-one skirts for herself! That was practically the pace for opening a store!

Watching Xu Chaomu spend a six-figure sum, Yu Weiwei realized that having a wealthy admirer sure made someone capricious.

Faced with so much stuff, Yu Weiwei couldn’t just leave Xu Chaomu to carry it all home. She had to offer a ride.

The little white BMW headed towards the direction of Splendid Paradise…

Yu Weiwei’s home was not far from Splendid Paradise, but since graduation, she had bought her own little apartment not far from her research institute.

She didn’t want to return to Splendid Paradise because the world is small; you never know when you might run into someone you don’t want to see.

And just as fate would have it.

As her little BMW turned into the villa complex, a man and a woman were walking out, one after the other.

It was none other than Li Beiting and Mi Fei.

Summer evenings, perfect for walks, especially for couples.
