If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 480: Speak to Your Husband If You Have Needs
“Aren’t I just your husband?” Shen Chi asked coldly.

“Don’t twist my words.”

“Hm? Twist? Oh, I get it.” Shen Chi pretended to understand deeply.

Today, Xu Chaomu had said all these things to him, but he took it as her just being moody – he didn’t take it to heart. Pregnant women often have little tempers; it’s normal.

“What do you understand,” Xu Chaomu pursed her lips.

“Isn’t it just that you think the sex isn’t good enough? If you have needs, just tell your husband, I’ll definitely satisfy them. You know, when it comes to your requests, I’ve always been ‘ready to serve.’

Xu Chaomu didn’t react at first, and it took her several seconds to come back to her senses.

Once she realized, her face flushed red.

Damn it, what’s this talk about ‘if you have needs, tell your husband,’ and being ‘ready to serve…’

This man, his head is filled with improper thoughts. She seriously wondered how he became the CEO.

Angrily, she shouted into the phone, “Shen Chi, don’t tease me, I’m being serious with you.”

“I don’t mind if you tease me,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched; his skin was really thicker than the city wall.

Despite this, she still had to say it.

“I’ll tell you again, very seriously and clearly, we’re breaking up, breaking up!” Xu Chaomu this time did not give him a chance to interject, “My life in Paris for five years has been peaceful, and I’ve grown accustomed to that peace, plus, I have my fiancé’s child in my womb, he doesn’t need a stepfather!”

“Stepfather?” These two words really struck Shen Chi in the heart, yes, he was the stepfather of Xu Chaomu’s child in her womb.

But what does that matter?

“Xu Chaomu, I don’t mind playing stepdad,” he said.

“You don’t mind this, you don’t mind that, are you still a man?” Xu Chaomu got angry, “I’m telling you, I’ve slept with quite a few men, do you mind that too?”

A normal man, how could he tolerate such humiliation?

Contrarily, Shen Chi was nonchalant, “Xu Chaomu, I just like experienced women; they’re skilled. When should we give it a try?”

Before calling him, Xu Chaomu had thought through many things.

For example, arguing with him just once, and the fiercer the better, so they could cut ties once and for all.

Shen Chi had a bad temper, so if she was unreasonable, he’d surely get mad.

But unexpectedly, this man didn’t seem to have much of a temper at all.

“Shen Chi, I am just respecting you by telling you. Whether you listen or not, starting today, we’re breaking up.”

“Don’t even think about it,” Shen Chi’s voice was low.

“Shen Chi, have you forgotten? Thirteen years ago, your mother killed mine, just for that alone, I can never be with you! My conscience won’t allow it, I can’t be with you in good faith, besides, I have my own fiancé and child,” Xu Chaomu said.

Speaking of that incident, Shen Chi finally became silent, not saying a word.

His complexion remained ashen, as cold as frost.

The matter of Zhou Ran killing Xu Mengxi had shocked him too when he found out back then.

To keep her from leaving him, he had chosen to hide it, hoping to hide it for a lifetime, but the truth can never be hidden forever.

Five years had passed, he hadn’t forgotten, and similarly, Xu Chaomu hadn’t either.

Seizing Shen Chi’s silence, Xu Chaomu continued, “I’m not hiding it from you, these past few days when you weren’t home, I called Chenglang, and if you still refuse to let me go, then we’ll see each other in court.”

“Xu Chaomu, you’re still so naive,” Shen Chi even laughed, “You should know, ten Nie Chenglangs are no match for me.”

“Don’t push me too far.”

“Xu Chaomu, let’s talk when I get back!”

“If it could be resolved today…”

“It can’t be resolved!” Shen Chi cut her off decisively.

“But we…”

“What about us? Huh? Breaking up? Don’t even think about it!” Shen Chi repeated resolutely, his stance clear all along.

He could accept the child in her womb, he could be called a stepfather, he could shield her from all storms, but he would never allow her to break up or divorce.

This was his last line in the sand.

“What if I insist on breaking up?”

“You can try,” Shen Chi said.

Shen Chi slammed his fist onto the desk, the loud bang even reached Xu Chaomu over the phone!

She was startled, so shocked she couldn’t even speak.

She was not oblivious to Shen Chi’s temper; how many have provoked him and come out unscathed?

Silence, silence.

Finally, after a long while, Shen Chi spoke indifferently, “Take good care of yourself, I will come home as soon as possible. Remember to cover yourself with a blanket when you use the air conditioner at night, don’t catch a cold.”

After saying so, he hung up the phone.

Once the call ended, Xu Chaomu felt far from calm.

She picked up the divorce agreement on the table, staring fixedly at the signature field.

If she signed, the corporation would belong to Shen Chi, but Shen Chi would no longer be hers.

If she didn’t sign, the corporation would belong to Shen Shihan, but she and Shen Chi might still stay together.

Shen Cexian said, if she doesn’t sign, he would put Shen Shihan’s name on the power of attorney.

They were convinced that she’d definitely sign.

But suddenly, she really didn’t want to let go.

She sat on the sofa feeling restless, her mind racing with one thought after another.

To sign or not to sign, the decision was hers to make.

She had considered for two days, and during those days, she was determined to sign.

But, after speaking to Shen Chi, she hesitated… They had already gone through five years of parting by life and death, even almost separated permanently.

Sometimes she stood up, sometimes she sat down, filled with anxiety, her brows furrowed in worry.

Pacing back and forth in the room, her right hand caressed her belly.

If she signed, it meant she was going to take Little Bun and leave the Shen family, leaving Shen Chi once again…

And Little Bun would never know who his father is, he would have to rely solely on her.

Children without fathers are pitiable, like she once was; she didn’t want Little Bun to follow in her footsteps.

Her mind was spinning with the words of Zhou Ran, Shen Cexian, and Shen Chi; she remembered every word clearly.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind; she wanted to take a gamble one more time.

Shen Cexian said if she refused to sign, then the corporation would be given to Shen Shihan.

He gave her a two-day deadline, and for her, not signing meant that tomorrow, Shen Cexian would put Shen Shihan’s name down.

But Zhou Ran was there at the time too, and she heard everything; would Zhou Ran agree to write Shen Shihan’s name down?

Obviously, judging from yesterday’s situation, Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian were on the same side.

So, it’s very likely, this trap was set for her to fall into.

The legal representative of the corporation couldn’t be anyone else; it could only be Shen Chi.

What she needed to do was not to sign, but rather to put aside the agreement for two days and quietly wait for Shen Chi to return.

If due to the two-day delay, Shen Cexian really transferred the corporation to Shen Shihan, she would bear the consequences alone.

What she had to do was take a chance, not caring about the future.
