If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1691: Growing Old Together with the Years (6)

Chapter 1691: Chapter 1691: Growing Old Together with the Years (6)

"Dr. Wen, please have a good talk with the young lady again, don’t be so impulsive. Women’s hearts are often soft, a little coaxing will do. But once a man steps back, there’s no room for maneuvering." The butler earnestly advised.

"She doesn’t even want to talk to me." Wen Zhiyuan’s heart shattered into pieces, he couldn’t describe how he felt.

Four years of feelings, in Shen Di’s eyes, amounted to just a nonchalant ’no feeling anymore,’ she had fallen for someone else.

But in his heart, he cherished this relationship dearly, he considered her his true love in this life, he wanted to spend a lifetime with her.

Now, it was Shen Di who personally destroyed this relationship.

From acquaintance to meeting, he initially thought they could be happily together, but unexpectedly, they couldn’t escape the arrangement of fate.

"Dr. Wen, I apologize on the young lady’s behalf, but could you try persuading the young lady for my sake? Maybe she might change her mind." The butler still hoped to bring them together.

Wen Zhiyuan said calmly, "We both need to cool down a bit. If, after calming down, she still feels the same way, I won’t persuade her anymore."

Wen Zhiyuan’s intention was clear, during this period, he would move out.

The butler could not persuade him further, so he could only sigh.

The next afternoon, Wen Zhiyuan moved all his belongings out.

The studio door still wasn’t closed, Wen Zhiyuan walked in and took out the painting from four years ago.

Back then, the situation seemed so vivid, yet everything had changed.

He took the painting with him, and nothing else.

After bidding farewell to Wen Zhiyuan, the butler hurriedly called Shen Di.

"Miss, where are you? When will you be back?"

"What’s the matter?" Shen Di asked.

"Miss, Dr. Wen has left, are you really not stopping him? Your four years of relationship..."

"It’s just four years." Shen Di said flatly, without any expression on her face.

The butler hadn’t thought Shen Di would be so ruthless, not able to say a word.

Hanging up the phone, Shen Di said calmly to Qin Chen beside her, "Chen, accompany me for a drink again in the evening."

"No, last time you drank too much, this time, I won’t allow it." Qin Chen frowned.

He was also a doctor, he knew Shen Di’s health condition, she couldn’t drink.

"Then let’s go to the seaside..." Shen Di pleaded.

"It’s too cold, on such a cold day, let’s not go." Qin Chen advised.

"I want to go."

"Then you have to listen to me, we can only go for a short while, then we must come back."

"Alright..." Shen Di’s face was calm as she looked at the white wall not far away.

It seemed as though that white wall was a canvas, her gaze could paint beautiful scenery upon it.

But what is the most beautiful scenery...

When Shen Di returned home, everywhere was empty, her footsteps also faltered.

The butler came over to take her coat and hang it on the rack, calmly saying, "Miss, were you with Mr. Qin again today?"

"Mm." Shen Di poured a cup of tea.

"Is Mr. Qin good to you?"

"He is very good to me."

"Alas, wasn’t Dr. Wen good to you?" The butler sighed.

"Butler, don’t say anymore, Qin Chen and Wen Zhiyuan are different." Shen Di lowered her brow.

"Dr. Wen has moved out, since you and Mr. Qin get along, let Mr. Qin move in." The butler said, "There are many guest rooms, he can stay in Dr. Wen’s old room."

"I have my own arrangements."

"Alright."

The butler sighed again and left the living room.

That night, Shen Di stood by the window playing the violin. The cold wind of early winter accompanied the music, exuding infinite sadness.

The next day, Shen Di discovered that the painting was gone.

"Butler, who has been in the studio?" Shen Di asked hurriedly.

"What’s wrong?"

"I’ve lost something."

"No one has been here..." The butler thought for a moment, "Oh, Dr. Wen came by yesterday while packing his things."

Shen Di understood, it was he who took the painting.

Since that was the case, she no longer dwelled on it.

"Miss, is it something important? Do you want me to search for it?"

"Forget it, it’s nothing important."

"Alright, then I’ll be going down." The butler turned and left.

Shen Di looked at the canvas in front of her, unexpectedly unable to make a single stroke, her hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, unable to lift.

The window of the studio was half-open, as she turned her head, she saw the necklace she had thrown in the studio drawer.

The necklace was just as beautiful as when it was first bought, after four years, still as lovely.

After a long look, she locked the necklace back in the drawer.

...

After moving out, Wen Zhiyuan returned to his own apartment, he hadn’t been here often, and his former servants were all dismissed.

The empty house felt strange to him, his mind was filled with Shen Di.

He decided to find Qin Chen once.

He wanted to see for himself how Qin Chen was better than him; if he lost, he wanted to understand why.

That evening, after returning from the hospital, he found out about Qin Chen’s whereabouts. Qin Chen hadn’t moved into Shen Di’s villa yet, he was living in a nearby neighborhood.

Wen Zhiyuan was early to wait downstairs in the neighborhood, it was close to seven when Qin Chen finally appeared.

This was Wen Zhiyuan’s second time seeing this man, it’s said that when love rivals meet, there’s extra animosity.

As soon as Qin Chen appeared, Wen Zhiyuan wanted to punch him!

But he restrained himself, got out of the car, and blocked Qin Chen’s path.

"Dr. Qin, do you have some time? Let’s talk?" Wen Zhiyuan’s face was indifferent, his tone disdainful.

Although Qin Chen looked decent, Wen Zhiyuan couldn’t find anything that surpassed him.

He had already had Qin Chen’s file investigated, graduated for six years, currently working in XX hospital, his medical skills were okay, and his character had no flaws. According to his colleagues, Qin Chen was easy to get along with, and of good temperament.

Qin Chen’s hometown was not far from C City, his family background was not prominent, but also decent.

Standing still, Qin Chen scrutinized the man before him, having guessed a bit.

"You are..." He couldn’t help asking.

"Wen Zhiyuan."

"What are you here to talk about?" Qin Chen curved his lips, his expression calm.

The two men were very close to each other, the cold wind blew across their faces, but the atmosphere between them was incredibly tense.

"What does Adi like to eat? What’s her favorite color? What’s her biggest hobby? What type of shoes does she like best?" Wen Zhiyuan fired off several questions.

Qin Chen glanced at Wen Zhiyuan and laughed to himself, "Adi and I haven’t known each other long, but I’ll eventually figure these things out. And, Dr. Wen, people’s tastes change, you know?"

Qin Chen’s words carried a hint of provocation, and he clearly had no intention of answering Wen Zhiyuan.

"So you know nothing?" Wen Zhiyuan sneered.

This was the man Shen Di liked, and he knew nothing about her!

"One day, I will understand." Qin Chen retorted, neither cold nor warm.

"Then what do you love about her?" Wen Zhiyuan asked again.
