If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 468: The Baby Who Loves Her Very Much
“Uh… Shen Chi said…”

“Said what? That I can’t keep in touch with you from now on?” Yu Weiwei asked.

That man Shen Chi really shouldn’t be provoked, because if he were, there would never be a good outcome. If he were unhappy, he could even seal off her research institute.

“He said… to take a closer look.” Xu Chaomu covered her face shyly.

Yu Weiwei almost spat out a mouthful of water onto her computer screen. Take a closer look?

“Weiwei, from now on I can watch openly and without hiding.” Xu Chaomu giggled stealthily.

After laughing, she became serious again: “But, I’m not afraid of him. I was just a little girl who knew nothing, deceived and suppressed by him. Now it’s different.”

“Now… you are the one suppressing him?” Yu Weiwei asked with a hint of malicious glee.

Xu Chaomu initially didn’t catch on, cheerfully saying, “Yeah, now he doesn’t dare to suppress me… Wait… Yu Weiwei, scram!”

On the other end of the phone, Yu Weiwei burst into laughter, leaving Xu Chaomu mentally short-circuited again.

Once short-circuited, she was always slow to catch on.

Yu Weiwei laughed so hard she nearly ran out of breath and took a while to compose herself.

“But speaking seriously, you are still pregnant, so you better not let Shen Chi touch you.” Yu Weiwei said “kindly.”

“Don’t mention him.” Xu Chaomu huffed, “Weiwei, let’s talk about some private matters between us sisters… like, how many boyfriends have you had?”

“Me, a sister?” Yu Weiwei started counting on her fingers, “One, two, three, four, five… nine, ten…”

“Scram! You’re just spouting nonsense! Be honest, or I’ll have someone grab your institute’s business.”

“We should still…”

“No, you must come clean. If you don’t spill today, I will go to your research institute and block it.”

“How many could there be, just that one person.” Yu Weiwei pouted, losing her confidence.

“My, my, you are quite devoted.” Xu Chaomu taunted.

“What devotion; I have no time for romance, and it just happened that I haven’t found the right one.” Yu Weiwei denied.

“Oh oh oh, I understand…” Xu Chaomu purposefully elongated her voice.

“You don’t understand crap.” Yu Weiwei retorted dissatisfied.

“Then let me ask another more private question…” Xu Chaomu grinned with ill intent.

Early in the morning, she was in a good mood, and even took the opportunity to tease Yu Weiwei.

“Don’t you dare ask.” Yu Weiwei refused her.

“No, I want to ask.” Xu Chaomu acted petulantly, “I’m going to ask, and you have to answer truthfully.”

Upon hearing Xu Chaomu’s mischievous tone, Yu Weiwei guessed what she was going to ask and decided to keep her mouth shut.

Xu Chaomu figured that Yu Weiwei’s silence was a form of tacit agreement, so she pressed on further.

“Weiwei, tell me honestly, have you and Li Beiting ever… you know… done that what?”

“Xu Chaomu, what on earth is on your mind! So impure!”

“I’ve always been impure! Besides, as a pregnant woman, what’s there to be pure about.”

Already with a child, pretending to be pure would only invite scorn, right?

“It’s nothing.” Yu Weiwei was inwardly determined not to answer Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu dug deeper: “What do you mean by ‘it’s nothing’? Is there something or not? If there isn’t, why isn’t there? If there is, when was it?”

“Four years ago.” Yu Weiwei stated blandly.

Xu Chaomu was taken aback. Four years ago? That was quick progress.

Coming back after five years, she really couldn’t keep up with everyone’s pace. Mo Shuifu had miscarried a child five years ago, and Yu Weiwei had… with Li Beiting four years ago…

Cough, she really was out of touch with the latest trends.

City folks nowadays really know how to live it up.

“I get it now,” Xu Chaomu exclaimed as if she had suddenly seen the light.

“Satisfied your curiosity?” Yu Weiwei said indifferently.

“Satisfied, satisfied,” Xu Chaomu laughed, “So Weiwei, did you just let that man off that easily?”

“What era is it; at most, I was just blinded.” Yu Weiwei said carelessly.

“So, what are your plans now?”

“My plan is to manage my research institute well and pay off the bank loan as soon as possible.”

“No worries, some other day I’ll have Shen Chi find you a rich and handsome guy, then you won’t have to fret over the loan.”

“That depends on you then; I’ll sit back and wait for a handsome guy.”

“No problem.”

Xu Chaomu replied, but she didn’t hear much joy in Yu Weiwei’s tone.

Based on what Xu Chaomu knew about her, this person might seem carefree and indifferent, but she was actually quite sentimental.

A relationship… not to mention three years, even three more years might not be enough for her to let go.

Moreover, Xu Chaomu could tell that Yu Weiwei truly loved Li Beiting.

“Chaomu, remember to return the magazine to me. You as a pregnant woman shouldn’t be reading that sort of magazine… it’s like lighting a fire under yourself. It’s better to read less.”

“Am I that kind of frustrated person?” Xu Chaomu grew angry.

“I think… you look like one…”

“…” Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched, her good mood starting to fray. They had agreed to be angels for each other, right?

“Chaomu, give me a kiss. I have to go to work. You just stay at home and take care of the pregnancy, okay? You have to give birth to a pretty, smart and healthy baby!”

“Go on, go on, I’m still relying on you to earn money to support us,” Xu Chaomu said laughing.

After speaking, Yu Weiwei hung up the phone.

Glancing at the wall clock, time had already passed by quite a lot.

Xu Chaomu picked a loose beige T-shirt to wear and got out of bed to look at herself in the mirror.

Ever since she had returned to the Shen Family, she probably had eaten too well, as her belly was growing day by day.

However, with the T-shirt covering it, it was basically unnoticeable.

She was actually expecting the baby to grow quickly; she was very curious about whether the baby would look more like her or like his father.

No matter who the baby resembled, his temper must take after her.

God forbid, he inherited Shen Chi’s temperament, or the child would definitely struggle to find a wife or a husband, and she could forget about having peaceful days ahead.

After breakfast, she took a walk outside the Shen Family villa.

She touched her belly as the rays of sunlight fell upon her face, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Prior to this, she thought getting pregnant was a very tough ordeal, not to mention giving birth was painful.

But now, she didn’t feel that way anymore. She was sure that she would love her baby very much…

The morning sun in the summer was already quite blinding.

After her walk, she went to the piano room and sat at the piano stand.

The black lacquered piano lid reflected a bright luster under the light, and a shallow fragrance filled the room, delighting the senses.

Xu Chaomu casually played a simple piano piece. Since she was rusty, she had no choice but to read from the score while playing.

With Shen Chi not at home, it was up to her to play the piano for their baby.

Even though it was a bit… off, the baby would probably… not mind, right…

After playing Moonlight Sonata, she lost herself in the music…

Perhaps too engrossed, she didn’t notice that someone had sent her a text message.

The phone screen flashed several times, and she paid it no mind.
