If You Could Hear My Heart

She didn’t know how long she had been standing there in the piano room when, gradually, she walked over to the piano and pressed her fingers on the keys.

The piano made a crisp sound, like a mountain spring, tinkling melodiously.

Sitting at the piano, she thought of the piano piece he had played for her.

It had been a long time since she had touched the piano. She flipped through the music scores casually and found “Summer.” After looking at it for a while, she started to play the piano following the score.

The pleasant and melodious tune echoed around the piano room, as if even the air was filled with joy.

This was a piece that could make one’s heart open, just like this lush summer, with flowers like a curtain.

When Xu Chaomu returned to the living room, Shen Chi was already awake.

He was sitting on the sofa with his laptop, typing away, and did not look up when he heard Xu Chaomu’s footsteps.

“Got your phone?”

“Mm,” Xu Chaomu responded slowly as she walked from the entrance to the sofa.

When she reached the sofa, she chose the spot farthest from Shen Chi and lowered her head to fiddle with her phone.

“You don’t need a husband now that you have your phone?”

“Aren’t you happily chatting with a young lady?” Xu Chaomu said disdainfully.

“You seem quite jealous.”

Only then did Shen Chi stop typing and turn his head to stare at her.

Sitting so far away, he wasn’t a wolf.

He moved a few steps closer to her, sitting side by side with her.

Xu Chaomu jumped, quickly putting away her phone.

She was chatting with a classmate in Paris and trying to get them to contact the person in charge of the Paris hotel.

The matter of the child was always like a thorn, stuck in her throat.

When Shen Chi moved closer, she jumped big time, but fortunately, he hadn’t seen anything.

“What are you looking at?” Shen Chi furrowed his brows.

Xu Chaomu hurriedly turned off her phone: “Nothing.”

“Xu Chaomu, don’t think that just because you turned off the phone I wouldn’t know,” he said.

Xu Chaomu’s heart lurched, could it be that he had seen it? That shouldn’t be.

The next second, Shen Chi tossed several Not suitable for children comic books onto her.

“When you had no phone, you read comics, and now with a phone, you can’t wait to search for Not suitable for children content?” he said.

Xu Chaomu’s face flushed, so it was about this…

“Uh…” Xu Chaomu was at a loss for words, thankfully, he hadn’t found out.

“These drawings are pretty explosive,” Shen Chi said with his legs crossed, leaning lazily on the sofa and casually flipping through a book.

He flipped another page and, staring at it, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at a title on the page and began to read seriously, “‘What is called a woman on top and a man on the bottom’.”

Xu Chaomu’s face turned even redder—she had just read this book last night, and this page, in particular, was extremely explosive.

It was about a man teasing his wife—no… training her, then the man teaching his wife a new position—woman on top and man on the bottom.

The comic taught it in great detail, every step was crystal clear; Xu Chaomu herself was quite aroused reading it last night.

Although, with an extra ball in her belly, she had forgotten all about how it felt that night.

All she remembered was that it hurt a lot…

Shen Chi flipped through the pages with a meaningful look, his slender index finger tracing the pages.

Truly explosive indeed, not even pixelated.

Xu Chaomu was twisting her hands, waiting for him to scold her. In the past, if she read this kind of book, she would at least be starved for three days.

To her surprise, he just flipped through it casually and didn’t speak for a long time.

Xu Chaomu sneaked a glance at him—could it be he was getting addicted to it? This man used to be a notoriously good student.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chaomu really saw a hint of a smile on his lips, getting deeper and deeper…

“President Shen, I picked up this book by chance,” Xu Chaomu timidly confessed.

“Mm.”

“President Shen, I haven’t actually read this book,” Xu Chaomu confessed honestly.

“Mm.”

“President Shen, I swear, I definitely won’t read it,” she vowed.

“Hm?”

Only then did he look up at her, his eyes as deep as obsidian staring at her.

“Really, I won’t read it,” Xu Chaomu swore earnestly.

Shen Chi had just finished that page and tossed the book to her with a voice that was low yet unexpectedly melodious, “Learn, it’s good.”

“…” Xu Chaomu’s eyes widened.

“It will save your husband from having to teach you,” Shen Chi said with a meaningful and cheerful smile, his eyes also smiling.

In the past, reading such books was called Not suitable for children, but now? Now that she was pregnant, what was there to be suitable or unsuitable about?

“…” Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched.

“After learning this, you can let your husband rest more,” Shen Chi continued shamelessly.

“Get lost! Get lost!” Xu Chaomu finally exploded.

Shen Chi, unfazed, said calmly, “One of these days, I’ll have someone find you a few more to look at.”

“What the hell do you think I am!” Xu Chaomu exclaimed angrily.

“In my eyes, you’ve always been a little hooligan,” Shen Chi said, looking directly into her eyes.

For so many years, her eyes were still clear and sparkling, without a hint of impurity.

He remembered the first time he saw her, her eyes were full of mischief. She was arguing and fussing to be held by him, even wanting to kiss him.

“Shen Chi, I have something to tell you too—you’ve always been a polite beast in my eyes,” Xu Chaomu huffed.

“A hooligan paired with a beast?” Shen Chi’s lips curled into a smile, “Then we won’t have to get out of bed every day.”

Xu Chaomu really wanted to smash the phone in her hand into his handsome face. What happened to the cold, dignified male god?

“Deserves a beating,” Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but go crazy.

“Mumu, let’s talk about something serious,” Shen Chi’s expression became solemn.

“What’s the matter?”

“Do you want to go to work?” he asked.

“Hmm?” Xu Chaomu was surprised; wasn’t this man always domineering, disliking to discuss anything with her?

“Nothing, just thought the baby formula is getting low, so suggested you go to work,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

His dark eyes, still carrying a laugh, looked at her while he maintained an air of nobility.

Xu Chaomu’s heart leaped. She had studied design for four years in Paris; she really wanted to showcase her talents.

In the past, she had even won awards for her design work.

She wanted to design a wedding dress and a pair of crystal shoes for herself. Whether she was Cinderella or not, she wanted her own wedding.

Like that time when she was helping Bai Man choose a wedding dress, she enviously watched Bai Man wear that unique wedding dress.

At that time, she also wanted to try it on.

“Are you serious?” Xu Chaomu looked at Shen Chi.

“Mm.”

“You won’t go back on your word?”

“I won’t go back on my word.”

“Why don’t I believe you,” Xu Chaomu doubted, thinking the man in front of her was a wolf, unaware of his ulterior motives.

“If you don’t want to work, forget it,” Shen Chi stood up.

“Sit down, sit down, let’s talk it over. How did you suddenly become so enlightened?”
