If You Could Hear My Heart

“My god, five years ago you promised to take me to your house for dinner, didn’t you? You said your mom’s cooking was delicious.”

“Her cooking isn’t delicious anymore.”

Xu Chaomu looked at Lou Yanli with disdain; this was the second time he had rejected her today.

“Lou Yanli, you’ve changed, you are not the same Lou Yanli anymore, you’ve become so stingy,” Xu Chaomu huffed coldly.

“If I take you home, Shen Chi probably wouldn’t be as magnanimous as he was five years ago. My parents are old; they can’t take this kind of commotion anymore.”

“Coward!”

Lou Yanli laughed. He was actually just joking with her. Shen Chi maybe, probably, might not be that petty?

Maybe, probably, might… well.

The glaring sun hung lazily in the sky, while the wind chime at the window kept spinning in the breeze.

The teahouse was quiet inside, and it was just as silent outside, with the scent of tea drifting all around.

Longing is an endless frost and snow, countless yearnings on the tower of longing.

At the Sunshine Institute, Yu Weiwei had dealt with some matters in the morning and planned to ask Xu Chaomu out.

She hadn’t seen Xu Chaomu in several days and missed her terribly.

Five years had passed since their last parting, and she still had so many things she hadn’t said.

She just didn’t know whether Xu Chaomu had gone home angry after watching TV in the hot pot restaurant that day.

Yu Weiwei concluded that if Xu Chaomu still cared about Shen Chi, she would undoubtedly be angry.

But judging from Xu Chaomu’s expression in the hot pot restaurant, she probably held back a bellyful of fire.

The weather today was nice, with a gentle breeze and beautiful sunshine, perfect for a drive.

Yu Weiwei put on sunglasses and prepared to leave the institute.

When she got to the front desk of the institute, she knocked on the counter: “Work hard and don’t gossip.”

“Got it, Director Yu.”

The girls at the front desk stuck out their tongues; they weren’t really afraid of Yu Weiwei. Since she had a good temper and as long as they didn’t do something particularly outrageous, she wouldn’t get angry.

“Hmm.”

Yu Weiwei was in a good mood today as she hooked her set of BMW keys and headed outside the institute.

Her institute was built quite grandly, designed specially by an architect.

Walking through her own institute, she felt a particular sense of achievement, although she still owed the bank a lot of money.

But she thought that one must have dreams—what if they came true?

Like now, she felt very fortunate.

Her BMW was parked outside the institute, and she spotted it among the many cars at a glance.

The sun was a bit harsh, but the wind was strong today, making it rather comfortable.

She looked up at the sun and adjusted her beige shawl.

Walking to the car in high heels, just as she was about to open the door, a gust of cold air struck, and a man in a white shirt approached her steadily.

Yu Weiwei was first taken aback and then inwardly cursed, “Damn it.”

Li Beiting was much taller compared to Yu Weiwei. When he stood beside her, he had to slightly lower his head to accommodate her.

He wasn’t wearing sunglasses. Under the sun, his eyes squinted slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on her face.

He didn’t like her wearing sunglasses; they hid her clear eyes and the expressions at the bottom of them.

So without waiting for Yu Weiwei to speak, he frowned and reached out to remove her sunglasses.

“A good dog doesn’t stand in the way, move aside,” Yu Weiwei said, trying to block his hand with an unfriendly tone.

“Don’t wear sunglasses in the future, they don’t look good on you.”

Yu Weiwei didn’t bother with him and pushed him away, opening the driver’s door.

Li Beiting rested his hand on the car door, stubbornly preventing her from closing it.

She pulled at it twice and couldn’t move it. She also didn’t want to damage her BMW, so she dared not force it.

With a cold face, she looked at him standing in front of the car door.

“Li Beiting, what the hell is wrong with you? We had a good agreement three years ago, to not see each other! Don’t fucking go back on your word!”

Yu Weiwei was furious. She really wanted to slam the car door shut, breaking his fingers!

Under the sunlight, Li Beiting’s frown grew deeper.

His gaze never left her face. Yes, they had made this agreement.

But after three years, Xu Chaomu had returned, and he wanted to break his promise.

“Mr. Li, you’d better let go, or else I will count to three, and if by then your precious fingers get smashed, don’t blame me,” Yu Weiwei asserted, and she meant it. For dealing with this kind of man, perhaps there’s nothing to feel sorry for.

“One…”

“Two…”

“Weiwei,” Li Beiting called her name in a deep and hoarse voice, “can we talk?”

“Three.”

As soon as the words fell, Yu Weiwei forcefully pulled at the car door.

It didn’t matter if the door broke; if it did break and it injured this man’s finger, so be it. At worst, she’d get the car washed if it got stained with blood.

With that thought, she gritted her teeth and desperately yanked at the door.

Li Beiting, on the other hand, forcefully held the door, not letting her close it.

Yu Weiwei was incredibly frustrated. As she exerted her strength to pull the door, Li Beiting pulled a wild card and suddenly grabbed her wrist, yanking her hand off the door handle.

Taken by surprise, Yu Weiwei fell back into the driver’s seat.

Luckily the seat was made of genuine leather, otherwise, the fall would have really hurt.

She really wanted to throw Li Beiting out.

As she was about to get up, pressing against the seat, Li Beiting got into the car, pressed down on her shoulders, and pinned her to the seat.

Without giving her a chance to resist, this man’s cold and domineering kiss landed on her lips!

Yu Weiwei’s eyes widened as she tried to yank at Li Beiting’s shirt!

However, the man had come with the resolution to not let go, kissing her so forcefully, rolling over her lips, then prying open her mouth. The kiss was devoid of any gentleness, its intensity making it difficult for Yu Weiwei to breathe.

Yu Weiwei was both angry and annoyed, her face flushed red.

This was still a public place, surrounded by cars coming and going.

By now, who knew how many people were secretly watching.

As Li Beiting kissed her, he withstood her beating. His large frame pressed into the car, pinning her to the seat.

Yu Weiwei resisted fiercely. She wanted to kick the car, but then she thought, this was her own car, and it wouldn’t be worth it if she caused damage.

She pushed against him hard with her hands, but when Li Beiting grew annoyed, he grasped her wrists, lifted them over her head, and his entire body weighed down on hers.

He was quite familiar with the car’s features, pushing a button to make the seat recline.

Yu Weiwei glared at him, but no matter how strong she thought she was, she didn’t have the physical strength of Li Beiting.

Entering Yu Weiwei’s car, Li Beiting closed the car door with a “slam”!

The outside noise was gone, and the interior fell silent, only the sounds of their mingled breaths could be heard.
