If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 839: Inexplicably Getting Angry
Chapter 839 -839: Inexplicably Getting Angry
Speaking of which, Xu Chaomu was about to help him untie his tie.
As she came close to him, she smelled a strong scent of alcohol. Of course, mixed with the alcohol was a faint aroma of perfume.
However, as she was undoing his tie, she saw a lipstick mark on the collar of his white shirt.
Xu Chaomu didn’t say anything, just silently placed his tie on the hanger.
Just as she reached out to help him undo the buttons at the neck of his shirt, he pushed her hand away: “I can do it myself.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked toward the bathroom.
Before Xu Chaomu could say anything, “bang,” the bathroom door closed.
“Shen Chi!” Xu Chaomu knocked on the door, “Are you sure you’re okay? Do you need my help?”
The response was the sound of running water…
Xu Chaomu felt helpless, this man’s temper was bad when he was drunk.
She walked back to the bedside, silently made the bed, and then straightened out his suit. However, she found a note in the pocket of his suit.
There was nothing on the note but a string of phone numbers.
Looking at the handwriting, which was delicate, it seemed like a woman’s.
Xu Chaomu shook her head. This man attracted women wherever he went, but it was no surprise considering the outside world didn’t know he was married.
This weather at the end of autumn and the desolate deep night easily led to wild thoughts.
He hadn’t mentioned anything about having a wedding for such a long time. Could it be for the same reason… In the eyes of others, he was a bachelor.
She stopped her thoughts, silently put the note back into his suit pocket, pretending she saw nothing, just like the lipstick mark on his white shirt.
She sat on the bed, waiting quietly for him to finish his bath. Now completely devoid of sleep, she picked up a book and began to read under the lamp.
About half an hour had passed before Shen Chi came out from the bathroom.
He had changed into a clean grey bathrobe, and there were still droplets of water in his hair.
“How come you haven’t left?” he asked indifferently.
Xu Chaomu was taken aback: “I was waiting for you.”
“Didn’t I tell you to go back!”
Shen Chi’s voice was somewhat loud, which was especially harsh to hear in the quiet room.
Xu Chaomu’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at Shen Chi like a stranger, her eyes filled with hurt.

Shen Chi didn’t look at her, sat back on the bed, and took a sip of water from his cup.
Due to a headache, he found the medicine box in the cabinet, took out a white pill, and swallowed it.
“Your head…”
“Go back!”
Xu Chaomu had wanted to show concern about his headache, but he curtly interrupted her.
Tears welled up in Xu Chaomu’s eyes, and she had to swallow them, biting her teeth and leaving Shen Chi’s room.
Once back next door, she cried.
It had been a long time since he last snapped at her. He was unreasonably angry today, and drunk to the point of being smashed.
She saw the lipstick mark on his shirt and the phone number a woman had left in his pocket. Did she say anything?
Xu Chaomu dared not cry out loud, so she cried under the covers for a long time.
It wasn’t long before she saw the light in the next room turn off, and she could no longer hear any noise from next door.
She thought of how pathetic she was. He had shouted at her for no reason—wasn’t he the one at fault? Why was she the one crying…
Crying, the sky began to brighten.
By around seven or eight in the morning, Xu Chaomu, tired from crying, fell asleep again under the covers.
The butler, Ling, was busy downstairs and throughout the morning, had neither seen the Fourth Young Master descend the stairs, nor had she seen Xu Chaomu come down. She was a bit anxious, yet didn’t dare to go up and knock on the door.
It wasn’t until close to noon that Shen Chi finally opened the door to his bedroom wearing a dark blue shirt.
After a night of heavy drinking, his head was throbbing with pain.
Though the alcohol had worn off, his entire body felt exhausted.
“Fourth Young Master,” Ling the butler hurried upstairs, “Are you feeling any better?”
“Hmm,” Shen Chi responded indifferently.
As he passed by Xu Chaomu’s room, he glanced over without any expression, fastened the buttons on his shirt, and then headed downstairs.
“The Fourth Young Mistress hasn’t woken up yet,” Ling the butler mentioned offhandedly.
“Oh,” Shen Chi went downstairs.
He took out his phone, which he hadn’t checked all morning, to find quite a few missed calls.
“Fourth Young Master, lunch is ready. I’ll have them bring it up,” the butler Ling followed him downstairs.
Once downstairs, Ling instructed a few of the servants to carry lunch from the kitchen to the table.
Glancing at the time, Ling said, “Fourth Young Master, it’s getting late, shall I go call the Fourth Young Mistress down for lunch?”
Butler Ling was seeking Shen Chi’s opinion; in this household, as long as Shen Chi was present, there were many decisions she couldn’t make on her own.
“She’s not a child, if she’s hungry, she’ll come down on her own,” Shen Chi said lightly.
Ling sensed something off in Shen Chi’s tone—could it be that the two had quarreled last night? Was it because the Fourth Young Master had drunk too much?
Just then, the servants brought the dishes to the table, and without saying much, Shen Chi picked up his chopsticks and began eating slowly.
Butler Ling specifically brought up the pork rib soup that Xu Chaomu had personally made the night before and spoke softly, “Fourth Young Master, this is the pork rib soup the Fourth Young Mistress made by hand last night. Please have a taste.”
Shen Chi glanced at it, remaining unmoved.
Upstairs, Xu Chaomu had actually been awake for a while, sitting on the bed hugging her knees, with her messy hair scattered over her shoulders.
She had heard Shen Chi going downstairs, and since then, had been sitting idly on the bed.
She felt a bit upset inside.
At that moment, she heard the sound of a car engine starting outside, then, she thought she heard the sound of high heels.
At first, it wasn’t very clear, but gradually, the clacking of high heels became louder, as if someone was walking towards the living room.
Most of the Shen Family’s servants didn’t recognize Bai Man, as the ones from five years ago had almost all been replaced.
But presuming her to be an esteemed guest, they respectfully greeted, “Hello.”
Hearing the sounds, Butler Ling quickly went to investigate, only to find… it was Bai Man and a strange man.
It had been five whole years since she had last seen Bai Man.
Today, Bai Man wore a green floral print dress with a light beige coat draped over it. The tall and youthful man by her side was quite a match for her.
“Miss Bai,” Butler Ling stepped forward.
Bai Man paused, smiling, “Butler Ling, long time no see.”
“Yes, long time no see,” Butler Ling replied, maintaining a courteous facade.
Five years on, the lives of Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu were very peaceful, which she did not want Bai Man to disturb.
“Xiuting, allow me to introduce you, this is Butler Ling of the Shen Family, a very kind person,” Bai Man told the man by her side.
“Hello,” the man nodded.
“Hello,” Butler Ling replied.
“Butler Ling, this is my boyfriend, Gu Xiuting. We have just returned from overseas,” Bai Man said with an impeccable smile.
“Quite nice,” Butler Ling spoke, “Your boyfriend is very gentlemanly.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Butler Ling,” Bai Man smiled, her demeanor more mature than five years before, yet without any other discernible difference.
