If You Could Hear My Heart

Beast, bastard.

Shen Chi’s kiss carried a punitive meaning, intense from the very start.

As soon as he kissed her, she couldn’t handle it.

Moreover, this man’s kissing technique seemed to be improving, as soon as he touched her lips, it was like an electric current surged through her body.

“Shen, Shen Chi…”

She slapped his back, but Shen Chi simply pinned her against the wall, wrapping one arm around her waist and cupping her head with his hand.

Xu Chaomu’s face flushed, her body nearly going limp.

His kiss carried the mild sweetness of milk, Xu Chaomu’s mind blanked out, forgetting everything.

And Shen Chi himself was also lost in the kiss, each time deeply fond of her taste, wishing he could meld her into his body.

As the kiss lingered, he became immersed in it.

The fabric of summer clothes is thin to begin with, and he was already overwhelmed with desire.

As a normal man, he was setting himself on fire.

Xu Chaomu was about to go limp, having no choice, she hooked her arms around his neck.

With just a small move, Shen Chi found himself even less able to contain himself.

Xu Chaomu gathered all her strength, bending her knee and aiming a kick at the man’s most vulnerable spot!

One, two, three, swift, accurate, and ruthless!

Shen Chi was still indulging in her allure, thinking she had become a compliant and meek kitty within this kiss, but she was, in fact, an undomesticated wildcat!

Luckily, he reacted quickly, and as soon as her knee touched him, he lifted his right leg and pressed it down!

Dammit, Xu Chaomu cursed inwardly.

This man lived up to his black belt in taekwondo, with quick reflexes!

He finally released her lips, and Xu Chaomu, unwilling to lose out, wrapped her hands around his neck, stood on tip-toes, and bit down on his chin!

And so, his chin nobly bore another set of teeth marks.

“Xu Chaomu, one day I will grind your sharp teeth flat,” Shen Chi said indignantly as he touched his chin.

“Mr. Shen, your kissing technique is really good,” Xu Chaomu glared at him.

“That kind of thing, just practice more, you’ll practice with me every day from now on.” His tone was now domineering.

“It looks like Mr. Shen has developed experience over the years,” Xu Chaomu scoffed.

Before, she would have taken it as a joke, but now, she didn’t think so. He must have kissed many women, huh.

“Then I should thank you for the practice.”

“Get out of my way.” Xu Chaomu pushed him aside, her face devoid of expression.

Who knows how many times he’s said these things to other women. She had long realized that this man was quite capable of sweet talk.

“Where are you going?”

“None of your damn business.”

“Enough, stop making a scene and come downstairs for breakfast!” Shen Chi said sternly.

Shen Chi’s head throbbed faintly, women are truly hard to appease. If the woman in front of him weren’t Xu Chaomu, he would have told her to get lost so many times already.

“Shen Chi, I’m not messing with you. Let’s find some time to go through with the divorce. After that, you can marry a gentler girl. Don’t go for someone like me again.”

Xu Chaomu’s tone was bland, her voice lower and lower, she didn’t even look at Shen Chi, turning instead to grab her suitcase.

“I think you’re quite gentle,” Shen Chi said earnestly.

“…” It was the first time Xu Chaomu heard anyone call her gentle, Shen Chi must be blind.

“Don’t block me.” Xu Chaomu still wanted to leave.

“Shut up.” Shen Chi frowned and in a princess carry, he scooped her up.

With firm steps, he carried her down the stairs.

Luckily, breakfast hadn’t gone cold. He made her sit down in the chair and kept her from moving.

Before her, he placed a cup of milk and a plate of meat floss rolls: “Eat breakfast.”

“I don’t want to eat!” Xu Chaomu tried to stand up.

Shen Chi pressed down on her shoulders, not letting her leave.

“Are you annoying or what!”

Xu Chaomu’s face looked terrible. She reached for the milk cup and “clang” it went as she smashed it on the floor.

The white milk immediately flowed along the ridges of the floor, the scent spreading, with glass shards scattered all around!

Shen Chi really had been patient in coaxing her, but now, he was at a loss for words.

“Xu Chaomu,” he said in a deep voice, “do you really think I, Shen Chi, have no temper?”

“Of course you, Shen Chi, have a temper, and I, Xu Chaomu, do too. So, we are not suitable for each other, divorce would be good for both of us.”

Xu Chaomu stood up, looking him in the eye.

“You calm down for a couple of days before speaking!” Shen Chi rebuked.

“Shen Chi, I think it’s you who should calm down. You say I can’t distinguish love from warmth, so have you figured out what is love and what is atonement?”

“Bullshit! I don’t owe you a thing, atone for what? Even if it was atonement, throwing you a check would be enough to get rid of you. Why should I spend a lifetime with you in matrimony just to make up for something? Xu Chaomu, can you use your brain for once? Has your IQ been eaten by a dog?!” Shen Chi really got angry, and when angry, he cursed.

“…” Xu Chaomu was momentarily rendered speechless.

His words left her with nothing to refute.

“Xu Chaomu, make yourself clear, what the hell is with this sudden moodiness?”

“Nothing.”

“Fine, you won’t speak? Were you with Yu Weiwei yesterday? Fine, if you won’t talk, I’ll call Yu Weiwei. But her research institute better not think about continuing in C City!”

Without another word, Shen Chi took out his phone.

He didn’t believe he couldn’t deal with her.

“Shen Chi you despicable coward, you’re out flirting with other women, all smiles, and you still have the face to criticize me?” Xu Chaomu finally blurted out.

Flirting? All smiles?

“Who told you that?” Shen Chi asked coldly.

“I saw it with my own eyes.”

“So… jealous?”

“Jealous of your grandpa, I just saw through your true colors and wanted to expose you. Pretentious on the surface, but different behind the back.”

What really upset her was that he never took her to Shen’s in thirteen years.

“In the business world, it’s inevitable to engage with women. Sometimes, a façade is unavoidable,” Shen Chi explained patiently.

He hadn’t thought it was because of this, and indeed, there were countless occasions where he had to interact with women.

“No need to explain, it’s nothing. How many women you have is your business. If you cheat and I catch you, we can divorce without any fuss.”

“You!” Shen Chi grew furious.

After a long silence, neither spoke.

The living room was again enveloped in silence; they could even hear the birds chirping outside.

It was unclear how much time passed before Shen Chi finally spoke slowly, “You’ve been back in C City for a while now, and I can see that all this time it has been just me hoping. No matter how much I pamper you, you feel nothing for me anymore. Since that’s the case…”
