If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 50 - 0: Give Me A Kiss

Chapter 50: Chapter 050: Give Me A Kiss

Translator: 549690339

Just when she was in so much pain that she felt like hitting someone, Shen Chi opened his eyes and glanced at her indifferently, “What’s wrong?”

Xu Chaomu covered one cheek, “Toothache…”

Shen Chi’s eyelids drooped again, “Endure it, take medicine when we get home.”

Wasn’t that stating the obvious? Didn’t she know to take medicine?

Suddenly, Xu Chaomu’s eyes brightened, and she scooted closer to Shen Chi,

“But Fourth Brother… it hurts so much, what should I do…’

This time, Shen Chi didn’t even lift his head, “Even if it hurts, endure!”

Talking to this man was utterly devoid of any fun, so she boldly rubbed Shen

Chi’s arm and tilted her little face upward, pretending to not fear death,

“Fourth Brother… what would you do if Miss Bai had a toothache?”

Shen Chi opened his eyes once again, meeting Xu Chaomu’s clear and bright eyes.

The car’s interior lights were off, but with the faint light, he could still see Xu Chaomu’s clean, pretty face. (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

“Xu Chaomu.” He called her name with a hoarse voice.

“Hmm?” Xu Chaomu looked up, waiting for what he would say next.

Under the vague light, Shen Chi’s face seemed even more handsome, with the darkness of the late night accentuating his mature and imposing features. His gaze was somewhat hazy, and Xu Chaomu stared at him, never growing tired of the view.

“Are you asking for a beating?” Shen Chi patted her cheek, looking into her eyes.

“…” Xu Chaomu had thought he would say something sweet, but this man was just too much!

Xu Chaomu glared at him fiercely, shoved aside her sense of injustice, and laughed so hard that she trembled, “Fourth Brother, let’s make a bet!”

Shen Chi didn’t want to engage in these boring little games, and said no more.

“Fourth Brother, do you dare to bet with me? Not betting means you’re a coward!”

Shen Chi remained silent, shifting his gaze away and leaning against the leather seat, lazily looking ahead.

“Fourth Brother, you don’t dare to bet with me? Are you admitting you’re a coward?”

Boring, childish. Shen Chi snorted coldly.

The driver, Old Cheng, sitting at the front, dutifully pulled up the partition. He thought Xu Chaomu was really bold to tease even CEO Shen.

But was this still the inscrutable and formidable president of Shen Group, Shen Chi? Shen Chi’s cold and detached demeanor, his indifference to women, was well-known!

“Coward, Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, the coward; if you don’t bet with me, you’ll forever be a coward in front of me!” Xu Chaomu hummed.

“It seems you really are asking for a beating,” Shen Chi glanced at her coldly.

Sometimes he wondered, had he been spoiling her too much? To the point where she was getting out of control?

If anyone else dared to talk nonsense in front of him, he could ruin them. Yet, he was helpless when it came to Xu Chaomu.

“Fourth Brother, seriously, my tooth really hurts! If it were Miss Bai, would you still be so nonchalant?” Xu Chaomu was almost in tears from the pain.

“Talking so much with a toothache!” Shen Chi snorted coldly.

“Fourth Brother, just pretend I’m Miss Bai, and give me a kiss, then the pain will go away…”

“Get lost!”

Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched, so fierce for what.

But she had come to realize something: Bai Man was the only one in his heart, irreplaceable by anyone else. So, he would never touch her.

At the most, he was just playing along with her because of the eight years they had spent together.

If she took it seriously, she would lose.

This time, after his single command to “get lost,” she didn’t pester him any further and sat alone in silence, looking out the window without speaking again.

The streetlights outside were bright, one after another. Moths fluttered around the lights, everything was peaceful.

Without Xu Chaomu’s chatter, the car suddenly became quiet, not a single sound to be heard.

Xu Chaomu rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window, just watching. Truly, the scenery outside the window was not as good as inside, but outside, she could watch as long as she wished.

Shen Chi frowned; he thought Xu Chaomu would pounce on him as usual—she always did.

However, there was no such movement. He turned his head to look at her and saw Xu Chaomu’s clean little face; she was looking out the window, completely still.

For the first time, he saw confusion in Xu Chaomu’s eyes; he had never thought this carefree, naive girl could be confused…

Perhaps the atmosphere made Xu Chaomu feel a bit melancholic, a sentiment she rarely understood in her life.

She thought back to Zhou Ran coming to find her that morning, Zhou Ran’s words imprinting in her mind, one by one.

There was discomfort in her heart, a stifling sensation.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Chi spoke.

He moved to sit beside her, his large hand caressing her hair.

Xu Chaomu moved her lips but said nothing. Shen Chi’s touch was gentle, a rare gentleness. So gentle she almost drowned in it, but alas, he was probably this way with every woman.

Shen Chi curved his lips into a half-smile; was the girl angry?

Shen Chi continued to stroke Xu Chaomu’s long hair. This was the first time he realized how fine and soft the girl’s black hair was.

Whenever his fingers touched her neck, an electric current seemed to surge through Xu Chaomu’s body, causing a tingling, numbing sensation. In this world, gentleness is a deadly thing, especially the gentleness of this man.

Xu Chaomu swatted away his hand, “Don’t touch me!”

Shen Chi actually laughed, “Are you angry with me?”

“Who dares to be angry with you.” Xu Chaomu didn’t look at him, her eyes fixed outside the window.

Outside, the crescent moon hung low in the sky, the stars shining brightly, while wisps of clouds drifted slowly. When the breeze blew, the willow branches by the road danced gracefully, the spring mist enveloping the stone tablets of Xi?o Xi?ng.

“Stop it,” Shen Chi’s hand glided over her small face, his fingertips stroking her cheek.

Right then, Shen Chi’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen and pressed to disconnect.

But the caller was persistent and kept calling Shen Chi, forcing him to answer.

“Shen Chi…” Bai Man’s voice came through with a hint of grievance, “Why did it take you so long to answer my call…”

“I was just busy.”

“Haven’t you rested yet?”

“Hmm.”

“Can I discuss something with you, please?” Bai Man’s voice was sickeningly sweet as she cooed at Shen Chi.

“Hmm, speak.”

“I heard you’re going to A City to acquire a technology company; can I come with you, please?” Bai Man’s voice was soft, as if pleading with him.

Because she knew that if Shen Group acquired this massive technology company, it would undoubtedly hold a press conference, and if she could stand by his side, it would be tantamount to announcing their relationship to the public.

Their relationship was like a flower in a mirror or the moon reflected on the water’s surface; unclear, undefinable.

Although Shen Chi had said she was his fiancée, she wouldn’t feel secure until the day it was publicly announced. Even though Shen Cexian had told her that Shen Chi would definitely marry her, she couldn’t let her guard down until they were officially registered.

Shen Chi was a man of integrity, she knew. Just as they had known each other for so long, yet he had never touched her.

She hadn’t noticed any other women around him; logically, she should be confident about him.

Yet, relying on a woman’s natural intuition, she felt an unease. Why she felt uneasy, she hoped it was just her overthinking it..
