If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1363: An Inch of Yearning Grows Long

Shen Group was increasingly stable, and Shen Chi’s position in C City was gradually consolidated; no one in the group dared to oppose him anymore.

Therefore, he could now devote all his time to accompany Xu Chaomu and their children.

In his youth, he disdained men who constantly clung to their wives and children. Unexpectedly, years later, he became such a man himself, and it didn’t feel odd at all.

"Going to bed so early?" Xu Chaomu glanced at the wall clock; it was only eight-thirty.

The outside was probably cold and quiet due to the rain, and one could occasionally hear the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves, giving off a wintry feeling.

"Hmm? What do you want to do?" Shen Chi narrowed his eyes, emitting a dangerous aura.

"What are you thinking? I just meant... maybe we can have a chat..."

"No chat, childish." Shen Chi closed his eyes.

"Hate it." Xu Chaomu had no choice but to turn off the bedside lamp.

The room immediately plunged into darkness as Shen Chi reached over, wrapping his arms around her waist, and his warm breath cascaded across her neck.

"What do you want to talk about..." He still compromised, his voice slightly hoarse and low, gently resounding by her ear.

"The matters regarding the Bai Family... how do you plan to deal with them..." Xu Chaomu began to ask, "and their company..."

"The companies of the Bai Family have already been taken under Shen’s banner. Shen’s is yours too, so basically, the companies of the Bai Family are back in your hands," Shen Chi said.

"The Bai Family is also one of the top families in C City. How did you manage to take over their company?" Xu Chaomu asked curiously.

"Are you sure you want to hear about business matters?" Shen Chi raised an eyebrow, "If you really want to know, I can tell you, as long as you don’t fall asleep..."

"Forget it, forget it, I better not listen." Xu Chaomu shook her head. She had no interest in business matters, things like financing, stocks and the like would put her to sleep, "Then tell me, how do you plan to deal with the people from the Bai Family..."

"How do you think I should deal with them?" Shen Chi asked back.

"I... I don’t know..." She was still unsure and felt disoriented.

"Then tell me when you’ve figured it out, there’s no rush."

"I’ll go see him again in a few days," Xu Chaomu spoke softly.

Shen Chi naturally knew who she was referring to by "him," and he didn’t stop her, simply replying with one word: "Okay..."

Xu Chaomu lay on Shen Chi’s chest and chatted with him for a long time, she particularly enjoyed this simple and mundane life without drama, which seemed calm but was very stable.

This was also her yearning from many years ago, to have a happy home with the person she loved and their babies.

There were moments when she thought she would never have this in her lifetime, such as that time on the cruise ship when amidst gunfire, she heard truths she should not have heard, or when he told her that their child didn’t survive...

Thankfully, everything ultimately returned to peace and tranquility.

The violin music from outside the window continued. As Xu Chaomu listened, she eventually fell asleep in Shen Chi’s arms.

Shen Di was playing her favorite pieces over and over again...

The night was dark and profound, with cold rain drifting down, and the evening breeze shedding shattered flowers.

However, when she thought she was alone playing the violin, she did not know that outside the Shen Family’s gate, by the wall, a solitary silhouette was standing quietly.

Wen Zhiyuan’s figure melted into the drizzling rain and dim streetlights. He wore a black trench coat, his expression deep and profound.

His long right hand held a black umbrella; rain fell upon it, forming beads that rolled off the edge...

He stood quietly, in the silent rainy night, unnoticed by anyone.

His silhouette gradually blended with the night, but his eyes always shimmered with faint glints of light.

Gazing upwards slightly, his eyes constantly fixed on that particular floor of the small building, he knew that was where Shen Di lived.

It’s just that he couldn’t see her.

He was all too familiar with the sound of this violin, as in Australia, she liked to quietly play this piece, "The Promise," promises...

She always said it was because she liked it from a young age, but he knew it was just because she was sad inside...

But when he wanted to delve deeper into her heart, she would become silent, just quietly playing the violin.

Everyone said she was a gentle and bright woman, only he knew that beneath that facade was a heart closed off to everyone.

This song was too sad; back when he was by her side, he wouldn’t allow her to play this piece, and many times, they nearly quarreled over it.

It’s just that he never expected to hear her violin again on this silent, rainy night.

The rain blurred his vision, the sound like strands of silk threading into the distance; he listened quietly, as if he had returned to those countless marathon nights...

"Adi..." He softly parted his lips, calling out her name.

However, the only response he received was the endless sound of rainwater.

He stood there like that; no one knew how long, as if the violin had long stopped, yet he still hadn’t left...

A year’s time is short, a moment of yearning long...

When the rain finally stopped the next morning, the sun slowly rose from the east into the sky.

The ground was covered with a layer of water, accompanied by countless fallen flowers and leaves.

In the morning, Xu Chaomu opened the curtains, just as the sunlight shone on her face.

Shen Chi had already gone to the company, and when she turned on her mobile phone, she saw the text message he had sent: Good morning.

She smiled and replied with a few words: "Good morning, the baby kicked me again."

But, Erbao is still much better behaved than Xiaobao. Not as restless as when Xiaobao was initially being carried; perhaps she’s just gotten used to it.

Shen Chi, at work, saw this message with a smile across his face.

After tidying up, Xu Chaomu planned to visit the Bai Family. There were many things she still wanted to talk about with Bai Xuan, especially now that only Bai Xuan knew Bai Man’s whereabouts.

For some reason, Bai Man’s absence for even a day made her feel uneasy.

Bai Man was not like Zhou Ran and Liu Rumei; she was more like Qi Na, all young women full of vigor, not the type to concede easily.

She also wanted to know the real reason why Bai Man had taken Xiaobao away, and if the video from the Paris hotel had been stolen by her...

Shen Di and Qin Chen had gone to the park, while Xiaogao drove Xu Chaomu to the Bai Family’s residence.

The Bai Family home was still the same, only the trees in the yard had grown much taller.

Perhaps because no one had visited for a long time, the yard was a bit messy, with weeds and leaves everywhere. Plus with the rain from last night, the place looked particularly desolate and forlorn.

"What has he been up to lately?" Xu Chaomu asked the guard at the gate.

The guard respectfully responded, "Replying to Madam Fourth Young Master, Mr. Bai usually writes and reads in the living room."

"Has he made any phone calls?"

"No, he doesn’t talk much to us either."

"Then has he made any requests?"

"No."

"I see." Xu Chaomu nodded.
