If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1379: Do You Like Men?

She hid in the crowd and watched Xiao Mo from a distance. He was looking down, a gentleness about his brow that was unlike his usual self.

Stripped of his executive vice president title, he now looked more like a refined young man.

He still had the appearance she liked, only now, there was a beautiful woman by his side.

Xia Chuqing watched Zhao Xiwen with a touch of envy, truly envying how close she could be to Xiao Mo. At this moment, Xiao Mo seemed very patient.

People kept coming and going in front of her, but her gaze stayed fixed on Xiao Mo’s face, watching his smile, watching his frown...

She used to mock her dorm mates for being silly; she never expected she would end up being silly herself...

She didn’t know how long she stood there, but eventually, the knife in Xia Chuqing’s heart stopped twisting. She lowered her head, silently picked up a few books, and then left the bookstore.

Xiao Mo did not see her, as she fled alone in a panic.

She boarded the bus in a daze, returned to the dorm in a daze, and nearly bumped into vehicles several times.

She sat in the dorm room, silent and sulking, not even having her dinner.

After accompanying Zhao Xiwen through the bookstore, Xiao Mo intended to take her home, but then Zhao Xiwen said, "Brother Xiao Mo, are you hungry? I’m a bit hungry. Shall we go for dinner?"

Xiao Mo checked his watch, indeed it was about time for dinner.

"If I go home now, there’s nobody there. I think I will go home after having dinner," Zhao Xiwen said. "Could you keep me company?"

"Sure, let’s go." Xiao Mo found it impossible to refuse, as Uncle Zhao had entrusted Zhao Xiwen to his care.

"Alright, we’ll go wherever you’d like to eat," Zhao Xiwen walked by his side.

That evening, Xiao Mo dined with Zhao Xiwen. As his parents were still not finished with their mahjong game, Xiao Mo had no choice but to take Zhao Xiwen home.

Indeed, there was no one at Zhao’s house. Zhao Xiwen said she was a bit scared, and ended up chatting with Xiao Mo in the living room for quite a while.

She showed him many photos and discussed with him which companies in C City might have good prospects for employment.

Xiao Mo had no ulterior motives. After spending half a day together, he simply treated Zhao Xiwen as a sister: accompanying her to the bookstore, sharing a meal, and helping her with some issues.

Zhao Xiwen was reserved too, not saying too many suggestive things. But in her heart, she had a favorable impression of Xiao Mo.

It was ten o’clock at night and her father hadn’t returned, so Xiao Mo had to stand up: "It’s late, you should rest. I need to head home."

"Let’s meet again when we’re both free, Brother Xiao Mo. I feel like we get along really well," Zhao Xiwen looked at Xiao Mo with admiration.

Xiao Mo smiled faintly: "We could probably get along well as friends."

Zhao Xiwen was a bit stunned upon hearing this. Friends?

"Go to bed early, I’m leaving now."

Xiao Mo walked downstairs; since he came in Uncle Zhao’s car, he had to take a taxi home.

Somehow, he felt that accompanying a stranger was more exhausting than a day’s work, and if people found out, they would say he was insensitive to charm.

Sitting in the taxi, Xiao Mo rubbed his temples and closed his eyes, exhausted.

After a while, he finally checked his phone.

Xia Chuqing had asked him out today, and he didn’t know the reason. That matter had occupied his mind all day, but being with Zhao Xiwen, he hadn’t had the chance to ask Chuqing.

He called Xia Chuqing back, but her phone was turned off.

At this time, she should be asleep, so Xiao Mo didn’t disturb her further.

Returning to his own villa, he didn’t expect his parents to have already come back, standing outside the villa and whispering to each other.

"Dad, Mom, I forgot to give you the keys. Why didn’t you give me a call?" Xiao Mo walked over.

"We just got here too, and the moonlight was nice tonight, so we were just chatting," Xiao’s father said.

"Mm." Xiao Mo was a bit tired. He unlocked the door and walked towards the living room.

"How was it?" Xiao’s father asked tentatively.

"How was what." Xiao Mo said indifferently.

"About Wenwen, what do you think of Wenwen? I think she’s particularly great. After spending a day with her, you must find her quite agreeable, right?" Xiao’s father asked.

"There’s no need to use the excuse of seeing a friend to set me up on blind dates in the future," Xiao Mo said tonelessly, his face also expressionless, "Zhao Xiwen is quite nice, but I only see her as a friend."

"What are you thinking in that head of yours?" Xiao’s father started scolding furiously, "Xiaowen has a good character, a good personality, and comes from a good family. Her dad is also my good friend, would I ever hurt you? Of course, I want what’s best for you. Look at yourself, how old are you? Others your age have kids running around already, and look at this house of yours, cold and empty!"

Xiao’s father was also very angry; he originally thought the two kids got along quite well at the tea house.

"You can’t force fate," Xiao Mo said calmly, not betraying any emotion.

"Don’t use fate as an excuse; you just don’t want to get married!" Xiao’s father roared, "Tell me, what’s wrong with Xiaowen? Where does she fall short to you?"

"There’s nothing wrong with her, and there’s nothing I find particularly fitting either."

"Xiao Mo! If you can’t find a girlfriend, don’t blame me for dragging you back home!" Xiao’s father was so angry he was gasping for breath.

Xiao’s mother patted his back, "Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Amo surely understands. It’s not like he’s really old, just thirty. Amo is usually busy with work; it’s not like he has time for a relationship."

"It’s all because you spoil him! No time is just an excuse!" Xiao’s father said, "Xiaowen is not clingy; being with Xiaowen wouldn’t get in the way of work at all. Xiao Mo, can’t you consider our feelings for once?"

Xiao Mo decided to remain silent; every time they met, it was always stressful because of this kind of issue.

Feeling a bit tired, he went straight upstairs and closed the door to his bedroom.

"You’ve got quite the temper!" Xiao’s father looked upstairs, extremely angry, "We finally found a perfect girl, and yet you feel nothing! You unfilial son, are you into men or what?!"

Xiao’s mother let out a chuckle, "Don’t slander your own son like that. Calm down, calm down, we’re still going to stay at our son’s place for a few days! Let’s not end this unpleasantly."

"I’m so angry, he’s doing this just to spite me," Xiao’s father said, sitting on the sofa, finding everything in Xiao Mo’s house displeasing to the eye.

"How could that be? Don’t think too much; isn’t it better to let things take their natural course?" Xiao’s mother said. "Our son isn’t that old, really. He’s probably just picky because he’s seen too much, with high standards."

"Isn’t Xiaowen good enough? How else does he want to pick?"

"Maybe there really is no fate between them, alright, alright, go take a shower and sleep. Don’t think too much, getting worked up is bad for your health. You are just too easily agitated."

"I’m so angry..." Xiao’s father was still not over it.

It took quite a bit of coaxing from Xiao’s mother to finally get him upstairs, and she even secretly sent Xiao Mo a text message: Be a little more accommodating to your dad.

Xiao Mo, looking at the text message, lay in bed without a word. freeweɓnøvel~com

As the night grew deeper, Xiao Mo couldn’t fall asleep; he laid his hands under his head and silently stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
