If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1632: Phoenix Nirvana, Rebirth Through Death (1)

Chapter 1632: Chapter 1632: Phoenix Nirvana, Rebirth Through Death (1)

For a moment, the living room was exceptionally quiet, and no one spoke.

This place was already picturesque, becoming even more serene at night.

"Did she really end up with Yao Hongming?" Xiao Mo leaned his head against his hand, unwilling to believe it.

No one would wait for him after all, even though his initial refusal was out of kindness.

"Do you know where you lost?" Shen Chi asked.

"..." Xiao Mo remained silent.

"In terms of external conditions, you’re not inferior to Yao Hongming, but you’re not as considerate, gentle, and patient with girls as Yao Hongming is. So, change your bad temper in the future and start anew."

"What’s the use? She already won’t turn back again..."

"There are plenty of fish in the sea, or rather, you could try to win her back," Shen Chi said, looking at him.

Xiao Mo was truly hit hard by him, and the already haggard face was full of gloom.

"No, Mr. Shen, you’ve been through it, you should know that love is the foundation, and a forced relationship won’t be sweet." Xiao Mo replied softly, with a hint of desolation in his voice.

"Since you’ve seen through it, let’s just leave it at that. I’ll personally approve her resignation tomorrow." Shen Chi said, "With Yao Hongming now, you don’t have to worry about her father’s matters anymore. Consider everything you’ve done before as a gift for someone else’s wedding attire."

"Mr. Shen, you knew about it all." Xiao Mo’s face went pale.

"You’ve run to A City so many times, if I still didn’t know, I might as well step down as president," Shen Chi replied.

Xiao Mo said nothing more, bowing his head silently.

Right now, his mind was full of Xia Chuqing. For the first time, his heart was so full because of one person, that he couldn’t let go even if he wanted to.

"Before I approve her resignation, you could try calling her," Shen Chi suggested.

"No need, since she’s determined to leave, I can keep her here, but not her heart," Xiao Mo said helplessly.

During this time, this was his greatest sense of impotence.

He was always trying to use his way to keep her, to move her, but later realized it was to no avail, her heart was no longer with him.

"So you’re not planning to see her again? Maybe it’s better, to save the heartache," Shen Chi said casually.

"Mmm."

Xiao Mo thought, maybe he’ll miss her in the future, but it’s better to rip off the band-aid fast, since she’s leaving, he doesn’t need to hold on.

"I think you’ve appreciated the scenery enough. How about going to Ji Shengxuan’s place for a drink tonight?"

"No, let me have a quiet night here," Xiao Mo’s heart suddenly became very calm, without any waves.

"Your phone and your dog are at the club. Go and pick them up when you have time," Shen Chi said, "but your car... sorry, it’s totaled."

"How did my car get totaled?" Xiao Mo looked at Shen Chi in confusion. He had put Guai Guai in the car when he was drinking, just parked in the club’s courtyard. How did it get totaled?

"Someone smashed it," Shen Chi coughed lightly and did not elaborate.

"..." When did the club’s security get so bad?!

"Well, I’m heading back now, Chaomu is still waiting for me at home, it’s getting late." Shen Chi glanced at his watch.

After Shen Chi left, Xiao Mo’s heart felt emptier.

This emptiness was like having a piece of his heart gouged out, always feeling something was missing, without knowing what to fill it with.

The place was tranquil and peaceful, and the night was becoming even more profound at this moment.

Xiao Mo’s face remained haggard, but he was much calmer.

If she had really fallen for Yao Hongming, he wouldn’t pursue her anymore; he would let go, give her freedom.

He just didn’t know how long it would take for the wound in his heart to heal, maybe... a lifetime.

He had never thought he would fall for a woman like this, only for it to end this way. It was as if poison had been poured into every part of his body, permeating pain throughout.

Parting was a brief separation, but letting go meant never seeing again.

He sat quietly, slowly closing his eyes, hearing nothing but the sound of the night wind whistling past.

...

Morning, morning mist, faint light.

Xiao Mo woke up early, before the sun had even risen.

He realized it had been a long time since he had driven out so early, so he casually picked a car from the villa.

The people here no longer watched over him, which ironically made Xiao Mo reluctant to leave.

His chest ached throughout the night yesterday, knowing it was just the beginning. In the following days, that place would always hurt.

He opened the convertible roof of the sports car, and the wind brushed his cheeks and hair.

The early spring morning wind was cool, carrying the scent of grass and dew, fresh and vibrant, like rebirth.

Driving along a familiar route, he gradually increased his speed, blood pulsing in anticipation of the sunrise.

In the east, finally, a sliver of dawn appeared on the horizon, growing larger and larger until the sun leaped out from the horizon!

Xiao Mo didn’t feel cold at all, instead, he felt the fierce beating of his pulse.

He drove towards home, going through a bustling city area to retrieve his phone and Guai Guai, stopping only at the gate of the villa district.

The people at the club had taken good care of Guai Guai, plumping him up more than Xia Chuqing ever did.

Guai Guai wasn’t happy at the club, but when he saw him, it was as if seeing an old friend, barking and jumping incessantly. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Xiao Mo knew Guai Guai had feelings for him.

Arriving at the villa, Guai Guai was so excited it could jump when it saw the familiar home!

Its big round eyes glistened like pools of water, never looking away from the house, attentively watching around, as if waiting for someone.

Xiao Mo parked the car in the large courtyard outside, and as soon as he stopped, Guai Guai jumped out from the passenger seat and ran straight to the door.

"Woof, woof woof..." Guai Guai jumped and barked as if it were dancing.

It would bark at the door one moment, and run to Xiao Mo’s leg, biting his pant leg the next.

"Alright, don’t be so excited," Xiao Mo laughed.

In the sunlight, dressed in a black suit, white shirt, and black trousers, he stood tall and upright, his back straight, handsome and elegant.

The sunlight softened the well-defined lines of his face, making his long eyelashes appear even thicker.

He looked up slightly, his gaze landing right at the position of his bedroom.

"Woof, woof woof woof..." Guai Guai completely ignored Xiao Mo, simply delighted.

Xiao Mo stretched his long legs, walking from the car towards the door.

As he was walking, suddenly, the curtains of his bedroom were pulled open, and the window swooshed open!

Looking up, it was Xia Chuqing!

Xia Chuqing’s expression was obviously shocked, and moments later, tears streamed down her face.

"Xiao Mo!" she shouted, and turned to run downstairs.

Last night she was helping Xiao Mo’s mother tidy things up here, but she wanted to spend a night here, in his room, as if that could preserve memories of him.

It was her first time sleeping in his bedroom, and she stayed awake all night.

The pillow and quilt were filled with his fresh scent, similar to the familiar smell of lavender.

He loved cleanliness. Although he smoked, there wasn’t the slightest smoke smell in the room.
