If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 632: Chapter 632: You and Fourth Brother, Take Good Care

Xu Chaomu lifted her eyes and looked at Shen Shihan in front of her.

It had been a long time since she last saw him, and he looked the same as before with a slight frown between his brows, a well-defined handsome face with taut features, and he was also not one to smile often.

Five years later, Shen Shihan was like a familiar stranger in her heart.

She dared not get too close to him, nor speak too much to him, because it was Shen Shihan who taught her that even the closest people could stab you in the back.

She once trusted everyone around her, but now… she shook her head.

“I don’t know him,” Shen Shihan said indifferently.

He looked at Xu Chaomu; it had been a long time since he had seen her. He had heard that she was now working at Shen’s, and he had not expected to meet her today.

After getting pregnant, the girl had matured a lot and exuded a motherly gentleness all around her.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Oh,” Xu Chaomu responded.

“Chaomu, if that person comes looking for you again, you can call me,” Shen Shihan said.

“Mhm, thank you, Third Brother,” Xu Chaomu said.

However, although she said this, she would not look to Shen Shihan for help.

The wound from five years ago was still etched in her heart, and it was not something that could fade in just five years.

“Don’t care about what others say, you and Fourth Brother have to take care of each other.”

Instinctively, Shen Shihan raised his hand; he suddenly really wanted to touch Xu Chaomu’s head.

In the past, this was a very common gesture.

He remembered that when Xu Chaomu used to come to him to hear stories, every time he finished reading, she would laugh happily. At that time, he would gently stroke her head.

The familiar person of the past was now only distant…

Slowly, he lowered his hand again.

“I don’t care,” Xu Chaomu said lightly.

“Mhm.”

“Third Brother, how is Sister Shui Fu doing?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“She’s doing well, always at the music store. You can visit her when you have time.”

“Alright, I’ll stop by when I have the time.”

“Take care of yourself.” Shen Shihan finally moved his lips slightly, pulling out a faint smile.

Xu Chaomu happened to look up and saw his smile.

It was as if time hadn’t gone far, it’s just that no one could turn back anymore.

The years of childhood were so pure, pure enough to believe that everyone was good. Yet, reality would mercilessly cut deep.

But no matter what, she still hoped Shen Shihan and Mo Shuifu would be well.

Xu Chaomu nodded her head, her hands still gripping her bag strap.

“I’m off to take care of something; you head back to the corporation. If you encounter that kind of person again, give me a call,” Shen Shihan paused, then said, “I hope you can be happy.”

He truly hoped that she and Shen Chi could be together and be forever happy.

She was his only sister, whom he had always treated as his own.

But some mistakes, once made, cannot be undone.

“Third Brother, same to you,” Xu Chaomu said to him, her big eyes full of sincerity.

Shen Shihan didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

His tall figure slowly vanished along the roadside, and then in the blink of an eye, disappeared from sight…

Xu Chaomu’s heart had not stopped pounding since Shen Shihan left; only then did she realize that her hand was still protectively over her belly.

Today’s incident had been so sudden; she didn’t know if that man would appear again.

She didn’t want to tell Shen Chi about this. Conveniently, Shen Chi had gone to T City for a meeting that afternoon.

On days when Shen Chi was away, she spent her days in the design department and returned to the Shen Family in the evenings to chat with Shen Di.

At the end of the workday, Old Cheng would come to pick her up.

“Mumu, did you miss me when I was away?”

On the day she got off work, Shen Chi, who had already arrived in T City, called Xu Chaomu.

“I have people keeping me company and to play with, why would I miss you?”

“How come, Madam is no longer lonely during these two days?”

“…” Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched at the corners; how could he still remember that.

This man had such a good memory. She had playfully texted him a long time ago, and he still remembered it. She deeply suspected that he planned to remember it for a lifetime.

“Shen Chi, aren’t you annoying? I dislike you…” Xu Chaomu pouted playfully.

“Mhm, is the little one in your belly well-behaved?” Shen Chi laughed.

When he was outside, no matter when, what he thought about the most was her.

“Yes, he’s very well-behaved.”

“Are you sleeping well at night?” He was not home these few days to accompany her, and he was concerned.

“Don’t worry, my baby is much quieter than you. He doesn’t trouble me at all during the night,” Xu Chaomu huffed.

Hearing her words, Shen Chi laughed again.

“The scenery in T City is nice. I’ll bring you here sometime.”

“Alright, you better not go back on your word,” Xu Chaomu laughed.

After talking with Shen Chi for a while, Butler Ling brought dinner to the table.

All kinds of dishes were served, filling up the table. Aside from her, there was only Shen Di and Qin Chen.

Although there were still so few people, the Shen Family was indeed a lot livelier. Shen Di was amiable, and many of the servants liked her; Shen Di would often give them gifts.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chaomu joined them for dinner.

“Chaomu, eat more, you have to make sure to get enough nutrition now,” Shen Di put a slice of meat on Xu Chaomu’s plate.

“Sister, I’ve gained a lot of weight recently.”

“It’s good to put on weight; it will help you recover quickly after the baby is born.”

“If I keep getting fatter, Shen Chi won’t want me anymore,” Xu Chaomu complained jokingly.

“If he dares,” Shen Di laughed.

Right after Shen Di said this, both Xu Chaomu and Qin Chen laughed, and even Butler Ling, standing by, chuckled.

“Adding a baby to the family will make things a lot more lively,” Shen Di said with a touch of envy, smiling.

Xu Chaomu thought, yes, when this child is born, it will be much livelier.

“Sister, you should come back to the country more often. When my baby is born, I’ll teach him to call you ‘Auntie’ first,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Sure, I’ll look forward to your little baby calling me ‘Auntie.’ He must look a lot like you. If he’s like you, spirited and outgoing. If he’s like Achi, he’ll scare away every little boy and girl who comes near,” Shen Di laughed.

Xu Chaomu also blushed and laughed, and then asked Shen Di, “Sister, when are you getting married?”

Shen Di poured herself a bowl of soup, stirring it gently with a spoon.

“Hmm… soon, I guess,” she said lightly, as if it was nothing.

Qin Chen glanced at her and didn’t speak, just put a slice of meat on her plate, saying gently, “Eat more.”

Xu Chaomu got along quite well with Shen Di; Shen Di had an amiable personality and was approachable.

After dinner, Shen Di went to practice the violin, and Xu Chaomu had never heard Shen Di play before, so she followed her to the music room.

Shen Di had performed at many of her own solo concerts, and sitting on the sofa listening to her play the violin was indeed a treat.

Xu Chaomu now realized that she had not only brought down the Shen Family’s appearance but their artistic level as well.

Shen Di was proficient in many instruments, and Shen Chi could play the piano, only she, the uneducated one, could only… fight.
