If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 571: Chapter 571: Men, it’s all about tactics
 

Shen Chi supported her waist, lowered his head, and his handsome face slowly approached hers.

“In the eyes of a husband, his wife is always right.” Shen Chi’s eyes hid a smile, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Every time he smiled, Xu Chaomu found herself unable to look away.

Especially now, as he was very close to her, she could clearly see the laughter in his eyes.

His clear eyes were like the peach blossom waters of spring, gently rippling and creating ripples at the slightest movement.

She couldn’t help but reach out, her warm little palm caressing his face.

She too smiled, this man really knew how to coax a woman–sweet words and honeyed phrases, who knows where he learned them from.

“Fourth Brother, when did you learn how to flirt with people?”

“Isn’t this kind of skill innate?”

“So full of yourself.” Xu Chaomu pouted, “Then how many women have you said this to?”

“It’s you now, and it will still be you in the future.”

Shen Chi lowered his head, only two centimeters away from her face, able to see every expression on her face very clearly.

Xu Chaomu blushed–Shen Chi really was full of sweet nothings. Before, how had she never noticed it?

“They say that men who are sweet talkers are not good men,” Xu Chaomu said with a feigned complaint.

“Of course, a man also needs to have good skills…” Before she finished, someone’s hand started acting on its own accord.

Damn it! Xu Chaomu angrily tossed aside!

Skills… good.

Xu Chaomu had no idea how long he had been starving, and she seriously doubted, once her little bun was born, would she still have a way to survive?

Would it really be as he had said before, keeping her in bed and unable to leave?

The image was too beautiful–simply unimaginable.

“Shen Chi… you… don’t start a fire…” Xu Chaomu couldn’t withstand the sliding of his fingers.

Her voice always ignited him and he became even more uncontrollable, turning in an instant and pinning her down on the sofa!

The kiss accurately landed…

“You beast… get up, I want to go for a walk…”

“No.”

Shen Chi held her down, knowing full well that they could only sample lightly and couldn’t go any deeper, but he still couldn’t control himself because she was truly lovely.

Even just kissing her was enough to leave him satisfied.

Xu Chaomu saw a dazed look in his eyes and pushed at him with both hands.

Shen Chi restrained her, preventing her from moving.

Just when their poses were becoming suggestive, suddenly, Xu Chaomu’s phone rang.

Initially, Shen Chi held Xu Chaomu down and didn’t let her move, but inevitably, the persistent ringing of the phone greatly disrupted the mood.

Just as Shen Chi was about to disconnect her call, Xu Chaomu snatched the phone from his hand with a cold huff and answered it.

It turned out to be Yu Weiwei’s call.

“Mumu, where are you now? Have you had dinner yet?”

Xu Chaomu looked at the time, which happened to be seven in the evening.

Her breath was still uneven, and she calmed her racing heart before she replied to Yu Weiwei, “I’m at home, just had dinner.”

“Really had dinner? I was thinking of inviting you out to eat.”

For some reason, Yu Weiwei’s tone sounded a bit down, and she seemed to be in a not-so-good mood.

“Weiwei, why don’t you come to Shen Family’s home? The butler has prepared a big table of delicious food. It’s perfect, you can come over and eat, and it will even save you money!” Xu Chaomu said.

“You… are you home alone?”

“No, there’s also…”

Xu Chaomu didn’t know how to refer to Shen Chi, but luckily, Yu Weiwei understood in an instant.

It was Shen Chi who was unwilling. What else? Couldn’t she call him “husband”?

“Is President Shen also there? Please tell him ‘thank you’ for me,” Yu Weiwei said.

“What’s the matter?” Xu Chaomu was utterly confused. Why did Yu Weiwei want to thank Shen Chi?

“It’s President Shen who paid off my debts for me, and, what’s more, my research institute has started up again.”

Xu Chaomu looked at Shen Chi with a mix of disbelief and skepticism. Shen Chi had paid off Yu Weiwei’s debts?

“Weiwei, but that contract was tampered with, weren’t you planning on taking legal action?”

“No use, and I don’t have enough influence to sue Jing’s Bank. I was planning on borrowing money, but to my surprise, President Shen paid it off for me.”

“In that case… now that it’s paid off, don’t be sad anymore. Manage your research institute well, and I’ll come visit when I have time,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Please tell President Shen thank you for me. I will find a way to pay him back in the future.”

“You don’t need to pay him back, he doesn’t care about that 65 million,” Xu Chaomu said. “Alright, I’ve decided for you, no need to repay it.”

“That won’t do, once the research institute is doing well, I will pay it back.”

“Weiwei, you really don’t need to repay it. If you’re short on money, just tell me, and I’ll convey it to President Shen, the big boss.”

“Chaomu, thank you. Are you at the Shen family’s place now?”

“Yeah, come over. I haven’t seen you in several days. The butler made deep-fried cream banana today, hurry over, I know you love it.”

Yu Weiwei agreed; she wanted to thank Shen Chi in person as well.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Chi was still on top of Xu Chaomu.

He looked at her, with a mischievous smirk in his eyes.

“Weiwei is coming, get up,” Xu Chaomu pushed him.

It would be so embarrassing if Yu Weiwei saw them like this.

“Who said that 65 million doesn’t have to be repaid?” Shen Chi teased, looking at Xu Chaomu.

“You want Weiwei to repay it?”

“She’s your friend, not mine.”

“Oh,” Xu Chaomu’s eyelids drooped, and her eyes fell in displeasure.

“Just kidding, are you upset?” Shen Chi bent down to caress her cheek, “You don’t have to repay me, just be more proactive with your husband in the future.”

“Get up, I’ll go wait for Weiwei at the door.”

Shen Chi was not willing to let her go, his hands pinned her shoulders down, and with a dip of his head, he kissed her lips.

He hadn’t had enough just now, now he continued where he left off.

Xu Chaomu pounded on his shoulders with her hands.

When she was having trouble breathing, Shen Chi finally released her, his hands propped by her sides. He said seriously, “Learn to breathe and respond during kissing, understand?”

Xu Chaomu blinked her clear, big eyes at him, her face growing even redder.

“I’ve taught you so many times and you still don’t get it, you’re so dense,” Shen Chi patted her cheek and sighed.

But then again, it was good that she didn’t understand, he could teach her more in the future. He really wondered how she read those 18+ magazines all those years…

As soon as Shen Chi let her go, Xu Chaomu ran away like a rabbit…

Yu Weiwei was coming soon, so she hurriedly went upstairs to tidy up her clothes and hair. When she looked in the mirror, she noticed her face was flushed like a ripe red apple.

And her lips, kissed by that brute, were even more swollen like cherries.

She quickly applied some lipstick; otherwise, going downstairs like this would be too embarrassing.

She took a long time fussing over everything, but finally satisfied with her reflection in the mirror, she then made her way downstairs.

Shen Chi was already sitting on the sofa, working with a laptop on his lap, his expression serious and focused.

“Workaholic,” Xu Chaomu muttered discontentedly and poured herself a glass of sour plum juice.

She waved the glass in front of him, “Want some?”

Shen Chi glanced at her, childish.
