If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 630: Chapter 630: The Strange Man in Front of Me
 

She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but after washing her face, she felt a bit better.

The cool cold water slid over the back of her hand, and this chill made her much more alert.

The restroom was very quiet, and she could still hear the music from the outside café. She stood there for a while, not eager to go out immediately.

Just as she bent over the sink, the little one in her belly gave her a kick.

Xu Chaomu smiled, dried her hands from the tap water, and gently stroked her stomach.

This little one was the best gift heaven had given her. In her saddest and most troubled times, it had always been this little one who accompanied her.

She had thought many times about what this little one would look like when born…

She couldn’t imagine, but she was certain: he would definitely be very beautiful.

In the past, she really disliked children, but she remembered someone saying that once you have your own child, you’ll likely be incredibly fond of them.

Indeed, her baby wasn’t even born yet, and she already loved him immensely. She would protect him well.

Every time the little one moved in her belly, she was filled with happiness.

In due time, once the project she was working on was finished, she would go home and rest peacefully, knitting sweaters for the little one.

Xu Chaomu smiled, her smile as tender and bright as peach blossoms in March.

She lifted her head, looking at herself in the mirror, wiping the droplets of water dripping from her hair with her hand.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After washing her face, she felt much better.

But where was Bai Man now? Had she gone abroad? Was she married?

She didn’t want to think about it. Whenever Bai Man’s face flashed through her mind, she still felt apprehensive.

She rubbed her belly, trying to think of something happy.

Otherwise, if she was in a bad mood, would her baby be born with the same cold expression as his father’s, all day long?

With this thought, her mood became even better.

She looked in the mirror one more time and then walked out of the restroom calmly.

When she came out, the group of colleagues was still chatting excitedly, especially Sister Chen.

Xu Chaomu greeted them, “I’m going back to the department first. I’ll treat you another day.”

“Xiaoxu, aren’t you going to chat for a while?” Sister Chen asked with concern.

“No, I still have drawings to revise.”

“Alright, then you go up first. We’ll be heading over soon too,” a few colleagues said.

Xu Chaomu smiled and left the café with her bag.

The weather today was nice, the sun shining brightly. She walked along a shaded path intending to cross the street.

The midday sun was scorching, and she held up her hand to slightly shield the sunlight from her eyes.

The surrounding grass and trees emitted a strong scent, their branches wilted and drooping as Xu Chaomu walked with her head down.

The road was busy with people, many hurrying along. It was lunchtime, so there were quite a lot out and about. But really, the sun was too overbearing.

Just as she was shielding the sun and squinting her eyes as she walked, suddenly, a tall figure blocked her path!

Xu Chaomu stopped in her tracks and stared at him, confused, taking two steps back.

It was a man, a man in his thirties, looking quite young, but his eyes were menacing.

The man wore a light black striped shirt, looking neat and tidy.

Xu Chaomu looked at him as if, perhaps, she had seen him somewhere before.

The man stood in her way, showing no intention of stepping aside.

Moreover, his sharp eyes kept staring intently into Xu Chaomu’s eyes.

“Who are you?” Xu Chaomu lowered her voice, backing away.

She kept retreating while vigilantly watching him.

“Who am I? Miss, don’t you recognize me?” The man sneered, his smile full of malice.

Xu Chaomu was sure. There was no smell of alcohol on him; he wasn’t drunk. She stared at him, trying hard to recall where she had seen this man before.

At that moment, it was unusually quiet by the roadside.

After a long time, she had absolutely no memory of him, only a vague feeling that she might have seen him somewhere before.

“You must have mistaken me for someone else,” Xu Chaomu maintained her composure.

“Mistaken? Aren’t you Xu Chaomu?” The man laughed as he approached her.

“Who exactly are you?” Xu Chaomu frowned, scrutinizing him.

Looking back and forth, she still couldn’t remember where she had seen him, only feeling that his face was somewhat familiar.

“So, putting on clothes means not recognizing people now? Women really are fickle,” the man laughed loudly, his laughter sinister.

His lecherous eyes kept staring at Xu Chaomu, unblinking, from head to toe, until his gaze stopped at Xu Chaomu’s rounded belly.

“What do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re saying. You must have mistaken me for someone else, now step aside.”

Xu Chaomu was also afraid of drawing attention from the people around, so she kept her voice very low.

“A beautiful woman like Miss Xu, how could I mistake you for another? That night in Paris, have you forgotten? But that exquisitely pleasurable taste, I have not forgotten.”

Xu Chaomu’s mind exploded like fireworks. That night in Paris again…

She stared intently at the strange man before her, and suddenly her vision cleared, and she remembered!

Was he not the deputy general manager who had talked about cooperation with their company? If she wasn’t mistaken, his group was called Faye Jewelry.

No wonder he looked familiar but she couldn’t recall, he had appeared after she was drunk.

She remembered how this man kept trying to touch her, and of course, she refused, smashing a wine bottle with the intention of throwing it at his head.

Late on, her department manager stopped her.

Then, a few colleagues escorted her to her room to rest…

And after that… was everything she had seen on the video.

The video made it clear; after being helped into the room, the only person who entered her room was Shen Chi.

What on earth was this man in front of her talking about!

“You don’t remember, Miss Xu? I can help you recall. You were drunk that night, weren’t you? Wanted to smash me? But how could you ever escape from the palm of my hand? Don’t you remember that night’s exquisite pleasure?”

“Get lost, madman!”

“Don’t want to accept the truth? Tsk tsk, Miss Xu, I didn’t expect you to be such an idealist. No wonder, it was too dark that night, and it’s normal that you didn’t see me clearly. Am I a disappointment to you?” The man laughed loudly.

“Stop talking nonsense here!” Xu Chaomu said coldly.

“How am I talking nonsense? Miss Xu, that day, it was I who personally took off your clothes…”

“If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the police!”

Xu Chaomu felt this man must be insane. However, the sudden appearance of this man was definitely no coincidence.

“Miss Xu, are you pregnant?” The man stared at her, his eyes filling with increasingly malevolent intent, “Looks like a few months along. Is the child mine?”

“Did a door hit your head? I’m going to scream for help!”
