If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 957: Chapter 957 Can’t Hold Back Anymore Chapter 957: Chapter 957 Can’t Hold Back Anymore “It’s not that good-looking,” Xu Chaomu intentionally said.

“Liar,” Shen Chi touched her head, “If it weren’t good-looking, would you have liked it in the first place? Xu, Chaomu.”

“I liked you for your inner qualities, the inside! I’m a person who values substance! I’m not shallow!” Xu Chaomu emphasized.

Well, when she first set eyes on him, wasn’t it because he was handsome? What inner qualities, did he even have any?

“I love to hear that,” Shen Chi shamelessly said, “You were able to see through the appearance to the essence at one glance. Indeed, your husband is quite wealthy and imposing.”

Wealthy and imposing…? Xu Chaomu almost laughed so hard she ran out of breath.

“It’s getting late, I’ll carry you to bed.”

At this moment, Shen Chi lifted her from the sofa and carried her toward the bed.

Xu Chaomu did not refuse, but she insisted on sleeping with her arms around his neck.

Both were only wearing pajamas, although winter pajamas are thicker.

With her arms around his neck, Xu Chaomu slept soundly. He, on the other hand, started to break out in a dense layer of sweat on his back.

“Turn off the light,” the Little Fairy commanded.

“Mhm,” Shen Chi complied reluctantly.

Seizing the opportunity, he tried to push her away slightly, but the Little Fairy seemed to see through his intentions. By the time he turned off the light and laid down, she had wrapped her arms around his neck again.

She did it on purpose, and he couldn’t do anything about it.

The Little Fairy snuggled into his embrace, her head resting on his firm chest, her hands clasped around his neck.

Gradually, the Little Fairy’s breathing steadied, and Shen Chi knew she had fallen asleep.

The fireworks outside gradually died down, the colorful sky slowly turned to inky black, and the surroundings once again fell silent.

All he could hear next to his ear was Xu Chaomu’s shallow breathing. Holding her, he felt an incomparable sense of peace.

An hour passed, and he hadn’t fallen asleep. He had already opened up the collar of his robe, but it was to no avail.

This Little Fairy was rubbing her fluffy head against his body, her face almost buried in his chest.

Shen Chi felt like he was in a furnace, and he had no choice but to lift half of the blanket off himself.

Yet the culprit slept on peacefully, breathing smoothly, her complexion serene.

Shen Chi felt like he owed the Little Fairy from a past life.

All night long, Shen Chi didn’t sleep a wink, while Xu Chaomu slept exceptionally well.

All night, her hands would either hang around his neck or claw at his chest, and every time Shen Chi thought of moving slightly, he was afraid of waking her up.

The next morning, Xu Chaomu woke up and saw Shen Chi resting with his eyes closed as soon as she opened hers.

She touched his body, which felt frighteningly hot to the touch.

She hurriedly placed her hand on his forehead, relieved that it wasn’t hot; otherwise, she would have thought he had a fever.

However, no sooner had she removed her hand from his head than her wrist was caught by his warm, large hand!

He suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the sneaky Little Fairy.

“You didn’t sleep, huh,” Xu Chaomu lifted her head.

As she lifted her head, she saw his eyes bloodshot, his complexion weary, and dark circles forming under his eyes.

She propped her chin and looked at him, their faces very close to each other.

“Xu Chaomu, get up,” Shen Chi said with restraint.

Xu Chaomu was puzzled for a moment.

“Sorry, sorry, I forgot you’re a normal man,” Xu Chaomu quickly rolled off of him.

Shen Chi gave her a cold glance, and finally, she got up. He threw off the blanket and rushed straight into the bathroom.

Xu Chaomu watched his swift retreat to the bathroom, stunned for a few seconds. After a few seconds, she burst into uncontrollable laughter while pounding on the bed.

Shen Chi heard her laughter and yelled from the bathroom, “Don’t laugh yourself into a fit.”

“…” Xu Chaomu covered her mouth, giggling secretly.

Soon, the sound of water could be heard from the bathroom.

Taking advantage of the time Shen Chi was showering, Xu Chaomu got out of bed and stood by the window.

On the first day of the New Year, there was a festive atmosphere everywhere, and Jinxiu Tianxia was no different, bustling with its own lively spirit.

She saw a few households having parties, adorned with lanterns and streamers, everything decorated beautifully, and many colorful balloons flying in the sky.

She looked up, and under the sun, those balloons were very pretty.

Furthermore, on such a good day, the Jinxiu Tianxia villa area also followed tradition, with some households celebrating weddings.

Standing by the window, even from a great distance, she could hear the deafening crackle of firecrackers, the air filled with the scent of gunpowder.

Xu Chaomu watched all this outside, and for the first time, she felt a sense of home.

It was just a pity that this home was not just hers and Shen Chi’s…
She took a deep breath, feeling a pang of longing for her baby…

If her baby were still alive, at this very moment there would be crying and fussing, chubby and white… But that was a big if, and life doesn’t deal in hypotheticals.

…

On the first day of the New Year, Shen Chi took her to see a movie.

He used to consider watching movies, something young couples do, as too childish. Of course, he also rarely had the time to spare.

Xu Chaomu knew he was busy and seldom asked him to do things like going to the movies.

Now, when he took the initiative to suggest going to the movies with Xu Chaomu, she was taken aback.

“Come on, what are you spacing out for? Don’t you want to go?” Shen Chi pulled her down the stairs.

“Aren’t you going to the company… annual party?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“I seldom attend the annual party. I don’t really like going there,” Shen Chi said.

“You know, the female employees all really want to see their boss, especially when he’s… handsome,” Xu Chaomu teased.

“So that means you want to see me too?”

Xu Chaomu thought about it, well, she too was his employee. Shen Chi’s remark didn’t seem incorrect logically.

“Then today I’ll accompany you, this female employee. No, I’ll take advantage of you,” Shen Chi pulled her hand and dragged her toward the garage.

“Hey…” Xu Chaomu followed behind like a little rabbit, letting him lead the way.
