If You Could Hear My Heart Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Not Small Anymore

Shen Chi’s expression became three degrees colder. He stared icily at her and spat out two words, “Get in!”

Xu Zhaomu grabbed her bag of snacks with one hand while holding Luo Yanli’s arm with the other. She chuckled. “Thanks Fourth Brother, we were just about to head to the park.”

Luo Yanli was also very polite. He greeted Shen Chi, “How do you do, Fourth Brother.”

Shen Chi ignored him. His eyes were fixed on Xu Zhaomu.

“Get in the car!”

Xu Zhaomu continued to cling to Luo Yanli’s arm. “Let’s go, Fourth Brother wants to give us a lift. We can save on public transportation fares.”

Luo Yanli could tell that there was something wrong with Shen Chi’s expression. He smiled. “Your Fourth Brother looks like he has something to say to you. Go on then, we can have a date another day.”

“He doesn’t have anything to say to me. His personality is just like this. He must be in a bad mood because he’s had an argument with his girlfriend. If you’re not getting in, then I won’t get in. Let’s go!”

Xu Zhaomu tugged at Luo Yanli’s arm, and they walked away from Shen Chi’s car.

Shen Chi became quite enraged. He got out of the car and grabbed Xu Zhaomu by the arm, dragging her into the passenger seat.

The moment she got in, he locked the car door. Even though Xu Zhaomu whacked the windows with her hands, it was no use.

As Luo Yanli watched from the sidelines, he was stumped. Was that her biological brother?

Shen Chi stepped on the gas pedal, and the Maybach shot off like an arrow.

“What are you doing? You are kidnapping female citizens in broad daylight.” Xu Zhaomu was very dissatisfied.

“I haven’t asked you what you were doing yet.”

His eyes shot a tyrannical glare over at her. Xu Zhaomu was worried that her heart would stop pounding.

Be calm, be calm, be calm…

“A date. Is your eyesight failing? Isn’t my boyfriend handsome?”

“Handsome? As handsome as I am?” Shen Chi said this without a change in expression.

How could such a narcissistic man exist in this world? Xu Zhaomu’s lips twitched.

“He’s much more handsome than you. Most important, he is young. He’s brimming in youthful energy ah, he…ah! B*stard!”

As Xu Zhaomu rambled on, Shen Chi suddenly stepped on the brakes. The sound of wheels skidding could be heard as the speeding Maybach suddenly came to a stop at the side of the road.

Xu Zhaomu hurriedly grabbed her seatbelt tightly. Her heart was about to leap out of her body.

Shen Chi drew closer to her, and his icy face was magnified before Xu Zhaomu’s eyes.

“You are calling him youthful after he took you to the movies once? He’s young because he fed you a few pieces of popcorn? Xu Zhaomu, I really can’t believe how you are quite capable at seducing boys.”

“Who did I seduce? Shen Chi, be more polite. Who I date is none of your f*cking business. Aren’t you getting married soon? And you didn’t have the courtesy to tell me about it, and I didn’t even know!” Xu Zhaomu was so angry that she addressed him directly by name.

“Jealous?”

“That’s right. I’m jealous of my grandfather.”

“This is completely inconsistent with the bashful Xu Zhaomu I saw outside the movie theater.” Shen Chi stared into her eyes.

F*ck. He always had his ways to make her fly into a rage. She was clearly capable of behaving like a wise and virtuous woman. Yet, in front of him, her original form always managed to be restored.

“Why do you care about what I do? I’m not small anymore, stop micromanaging me. My family name is not Shen. I have nothing to do with you.”

Xu Zhaomu bellowed at him. This man had gotten used to being such a bully.

“Not small anymore? From what I see, you’re still small.”

When Shen Chi said this, he intentionally stared at her neckline for a few seconds. She was certainly bold. She’d even dared to wear a low-cut blouse ouside today. She seemed to have completely ignored his warnings.

Xu Zhaomu really wanted to leap forward and beat him up. She had started a proper argument with him, but he had actually made sexual innuendos.

“Shen Chi, are you shameless?” Xu Zhaomu covered her chest and pulled her clothes around her more closely.

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that question? You are so flat-chested. Yet you dared to wear such a low-cut blouse. Even I feel embarrassed.”

“Do you think everyone likes big boobs like you? You think I’m shameless, but I think you’re vulgar.” Xu Zhaomu showed no mercy as she struck back at Shen Chi.

“You’ve learned how to answer back. You’ve grown up.” Shen Chi patted her cheeks as his lips slipped into a small smile.

Before Xu Zhaomu could reply, Shen Chi switched back to an admonishing tone. “In the future, you’re not allowed to go on dates with boys.”

“You’ve banned me from doing so many things. If I listened to your every instruction, would I still have any freedom left at all?”

“I heard Luo Yanli’s family owns a business.”

Xu Zhaomu froze. He even knew Luo Yanli’s name?

“What are you trying to imply?”

The corner of Shen Chi’s lips tipped upwards into an evil smile. “If you don’t want his family to go bankrupt, you should be obedient.”

“You are shameless!” Xu Zhaomu almost jumped out of the car. “I really want to unleash Big White so that he’ll bite you.”

“Big White is my dog. Would he listen to you?”

“……”

Xu Zhaomu felt that she would never be able to win any argument against Shen Chi in her lifetime. He was a shameless and vile person.

Shen Chi started the engine and took Xu Zhaomu to the lakeside to stroll around. Xu Zhaomu was enraged and refused to acknowledge him the whole time.

Shen Chi took her to stroll in the park. Xu Zhaomu was completely unwilling, and she appeared just like a young bride who had been mistreated.

As they walked, Shen Chi’s phone rang many times. He got impatient and finally answered the call.

“Mr. Shen, a shareholder is causing trouble.”

“I’m busy!”

“This… Please come to the Group. A big shareholder of the Shen Group insists on meeting you.”

“Tell the person that I’m not free.”

Shen Chi hung up the call with a frown. Xu Zhaomu rolled her eyes at him. “Liar.”

Shen Chi’s smile widened. He continued to accompany Xu Zhaomu as they strolled through the park.

It happened to be a Saturday, and the park was full of people. The elderly men and women stared at them in admiration.

This was Xu Zhaomu’s first time being the focus of attention. As she puffed out her chest with immense satisfaction, she suddenly realized that these people were all staring at Shen Chi.

She instantly became annoyed. She shouldn’t have walked by his side.

“Young maiden, who is he to you? He is so handsome.” An elderly woman struck up a conversation with her. She appeared to have taken a liking to Shen Chi and was about to choose him as her son-in-law.

“He is my…”

“I’m her husband,” Shen Chi said casually.

Xu Zhaomu widened her eyes. What did he say? What?

He was her husband? Did she mishear?

Xu Zhaomu’s face passed through a multitude of colors as it morphed from one shade into another. Ba-dum, ba-dum, her heart pounded incessantly.

The elderly woman looked disappointed. However, she complimented Xu Zhaomu. “Your little bride is full of vitality. She looks quite young.”

After the elderly woman said this, she took her leave. The other old men and woman standing around also dispersed.

Inexplicably, Xu Zhaomu felt her heart bloom just like a flower.

“What did you just say you were? Repeat it one more time for me.”

“Nothing much.” Shen Chi appeared completely indifferent.

“What did you just say you were? Repeat it one more time, I didn’t hear you clearly. Repeat it, repeat it…” Xu Zhaomu tugged at Shen Chi’s arm. She was grinning like the blooming flowers of spring.

“Nothing. If I didn’t say that, those people would have asked me even more questions. Like how much do you have in your bank account, where do you work? I just found it bothersome.”

“Shen Chi, you used me.” Xu Zhaomu flung his arm away angrily.

F*ck. Why was this man like this?

“You thought it was true?” Shen Chi raised his brows.

“Of course not, only a fool would think it was real. You are my Fourth Brother, my beloved Fourth Brother. Am I right?” Xu Zhaomu said sarcastically. She was a little upset.

“It’s fine as long as you didn’t think it was real,” Shen Chi said nonchalantly.

Xu Zhaomu ignored Shen Chi the rest of the afternoon. Why was this man so nasty? Utterly nasty!

However, Xu Zhaomu still strolled around with Shen Chi for the entire day. She could just grab whatever she fancied. The person behind her would naturally pay for her.

As the sky darkened, Xu Zhaomu finally asked Shen Chi moodily, “You’ve stayed out with me to play for the entire day. Don’t you need to go to work?”

“I only came out to relieve my boredom, not to play with you.”

“……” Xu Zhaomu felt that it was better if she kept her mouth shut.

As Shen Chi drove Xu Zhaomu back home, he received a phone call from Bai Man.

“I want to see you. Can we meet somewhere tonight?” Bai Man spoke softly.

“All right,” Shen Chi said calmly.

“Then let’s meet at the same old place. I’ll wait for you there.” Bai Man giggled softly.
