If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 951: Chapter 951 Heaven-Created Stage Chapter 951: Chapter 951 Heaven-Created Stage “Dr. Wen, long time no see!” Xu Chaomu called out from a distance.

Wen Zhiyuan turned his head, and it really had been a long time.

In the sunlight, he curled his lips into a smile, watching Xu Chaomu walk toward him.

The girl was no longer sporting a big belly, and Wen Zhiyuan found it somewhat unfamiliar. Her steps were much lighter now, approaching gracefully in a ginger yellow sweater dress.

The light shone on her face, and her complexion wasn’t as bad as he had imagined; rather flushed, actually.

It seemed the girl had recovered quite well.

“Long time no see,” Wen Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Xu Chaomu walked up to Wen Zhiyuan, and while glancing around him, she said, “No girlfriend with you, good news.”

Wen Zhiyuan had thought she was looking for something, but hearing her say this, he grinned even more.

“At my age, not having a girlfriend is still good news?” Wen Zhiyuan asked.

“Of course!” Xu Chaomu replied with a smile, not saying much else.

“Let’s go inside to talk, don’t stand out here too long,” Wen Zhiyuan suggested.

“Okay.”

Xu Chaomu walked beside Wen Zhiyuan, and the two headed together into the living room.

“Where’s Shen Chi?” Wen Zhiyuan asked.

“He’s over on the lawn helping out; don’t worry about him, let’s have our own chat.”

“It seems I’m a bit early,” Wen Zhiyuan observed, not seeing any other guests yet.

“What, Dr. Wen, I haven’t seen you for so many days, and I’ve been wanting to chat with you. Don’t tell me, you don’t want to talk to me a bit more?” Xu Chaomu asked, looking at him.

The two entered the living room where a servant immediately came over to pour them some tea.

Faced with Xu Chaomu’s question, Wen Zhiyuan felt as if he was at fault.

“My bad,” Wen Zhiyuan admitted, “so now I’ll not see anyone else and just talk with you, is that okay?”

“That’s more like it,” Xu Chaomu snorted, “Less scheming, more sincerity.”

“Dr. Wen, what have you been busy with lately? I haven’t seen you for a long time, and you were nowhere to be found on the streets,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Busy with several important surgeries, plus I had to go out of town for some learning and exchange for a while, I’ve indeed been quite busy.”

“So… you happen to have free time today?”

Wen Zhiyuan nodded, “Yes, I don’t have to be on call today, and I don’t have to work.”

“Then with you being so busy, you must have no time to date, right? I have a pretty good friend…”

“Hold on,” Wen Zhiyuan interrupted her, chuckling, “There’s no need to set me up with a girlfriend; I’m too busy with work, and it wouldn’t be fair to the girl.”

“Not at all. The friend I want to introduce is very understanding. I’ve told her all about your job, and she doesn’t mind; she says it’s normal for a doctor to be busy.”

“Still, there’s no need, I also have to prepare the end-of-year reports. I’m just too busy,” Wen Zhiyuan still refused.

“You’re not giving me face.”

Xu Chaomu stopped bothering him and picked up the cup in front of her, smelling the fragrance and taking a sip.

For a moment, there was a silence in the living room.

Seeing that he had “offended” Xu Chaomu, Wen Zhiyuan felt that wasn’t good, considering he still had to dine at her house later.

So, he cleared his throat and pretended to show renewed interest, “How about you let me see a photo first?”

“Yes, yes, of course, her photo is a must; she’s a great beauty, with a nice personality, gentle and caring.”

Xu Chaomu ran to a cabinet in the living room and pulled open a drawer.

Wen Zhiyuan was really helpless, shaking his head, unable to do anything with Xu Chaomu.

She was indeed interested in playing matchmaker for him.

However, as long as she wasn’t thinking about the kid’s issues right now, he felt anything was good to talk about.

He was afraid that he might accidentally evoke Xu Chaomu’s bad memories, so he was always very careful when he spoke.

Looking at Xu Chaomu’s current state, she seemed to be recovering quite well.

Xu Chaomu took out an album from the drawer and then pulled out a two-inch photo from the album.

She excitedly held the small photo and went over to Wen Zhiyuan, feigning mystery, “I’m telling you, it’s absolutely gorgeous, flawless.”

Wen Zhiyuan just smiled, Xu Chaomu really knew how to compliment someone.

“In my eyes, you two are a match made in heaven,” Xu Chaomu continued.

“Well then, show me,” Wen Zhiyuan glanced at her.

He wasn’t really interested in the photo; he was just going along with the fun seeing Xu Chaomu in high spirits today.

“Ta-da!”

Xu Chaomu happily presented the photo with both hands, handing it over to the palm Wen Zhiyuan extended.

Wen Zhiyuan shook his head, his palm felt slightly cold, and he turned his gaze to the photo.

The girl in the photo was only about seventeen or eighteen, still carrying a hint of youthful innocence. She wore a blue-and-white striped school uniform, looked refined and elegant, with a charming smile.

Wen Zhiyuan was immediately stunned and took a long time to come back to his senses.

“Beautiful? Pretty? Does she look good?” Xu Chaomu asked repeatedly.

She had already spotted an unusual fleeting expression on Wen Zhiyuan’s face, but it was just for a few seconds. After a few seconds, Wen Zhiyuan had hidden this oddity away.

Xu Chaomu observed all of Wen Zhiyuan’s expressions without making a sound, and she reached a conclusion that Shen Chi’s friends were all good at concealing their true feelings.

The girl in the photo was none other than Shen Di.

This was a photo of Shen Di from her high school days abroad. When she had to deal with paperwork in China, she sent several ID photos over.

According to Shen Chi, some photos were left unused, and this one ended up in the album.

“Pretty nice, she looks like an old friend I know.” Wen Zhiyuan said.

As soon as Xu Chaomu heard this, she was so annoyed that her teeth itched. What did he mean by an old friend he knew? Would saying Shen Di’s name kill him?

But the next sentence from Wen Zhiyuan completely silenced Xu Chaomu.

“However, she’s not my type.” Wen Zhiyuan offered a wry smile and placed the photo on the table, “Seems like there is no chemistry.”

“Wen Zhiyuan, you take the photo. Look at it more, and when you’re familiar with it, let me know whether you like it or not,” Xu Chaomu was really frustrated.

Wen Zhiyuan wasn’t really bothered, speaking indifferently, “Chemistry, when it’s not there, it’s not there. No matter how much I look at it, to me, it’s just a piece of paper, and just two inches at that.”

“Wen Zhiyuan!” Xu Chaomu was truly angered, quite significantly, directly calling out Wen Zhiyuan’s name.

Wen Zhiyuan pushed the photo back towards Xu Chaomu, “Keep it safe, you might need it.”

Xu Chaomu felt discouraged seeing Wen Zhiyuan’s attitude. She had good intentions in trying to match him with Shen Di, but Wen Zhiyuan had no reaction whatsoever.

Was she really wrong?

Were Shen Di and Wen Zhiyuan truly a case of unrequited love, with the maid uninterested in the man? Could it be that the person Shen Di liked was truly Qin Chen?

Xu Chaomu was deflated. She had finally found a photo of Shen Di at the Shen Family, one from her student days, which Wen Zhiyuan had never seen, but even so, Wen Zhiyuan had thrown cold water on her efforts.
