If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1765: Harmonious as Strings and Zithers (Part 3)

Chapter 1765: Chapter 1765: Harmonious as Strings and Zithers (Part 3)

The destination wasn’t reached yet, but Xu Chaomu was sleepy, resting her head on the seat, trying to sleep.

The diamonds on her evening dress glimmered slightly in the darkness, like stars in the sky.

The further they drove into the open space, the wider the view became, with stars flickering in and out of sight.

Who knows how long had passed before Xiaogao stopped the car.

He glanced back and saw Xu Chaomu had fallen asleep.

"Madam Si, Madam Si," Xiaogao called out.

"Hmm?" Xu Chaomu woke up groggily, "I fell asleep again."

"We’ve arrived, Mr. Si is waiting for you in the manor."

Xu Chaomu opened her eyes and looked outside. There was a grand manor here. Although it wasn’t apparent from the entrance, she could imagine its magnificence inside.

However, this place was indeed quite remote.

"Aren’t you going in?" Xu Chaomu asked.

"I won’t disturb you and Mr. Si," Xiaogao said with a smile, jumping down to open the car door for Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu walked towards the manor. At the entrance, someone opened the door for her.

As the door opened, Xu Chaomu was stunned. In front of her was a path covered entirely with rose petals, all deep red rose petals!

Under the lights, the rose petals were bright and beautiful, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

The warm, dim yellow light enveloped Xu Chaomu warmly.

"Madam, Mr. Shen is waiting for you inside," the doorman said with a bow, "Please walk straight ahead."

"Okay."

Xu Chaomu’s heart was bursting with joy. It felt just like when she first fell in love, a strange but delightful fluttering sensation.

She lifted her white skirt and walked forward step by step on the petals in her high heels.

When the breeze blew, the petals gently danced, stirring Xu Chaomu’s hair.

At that moment, Xu Chaomu felt like she was in a dream.

She remembered today was Qixi Festival. Was this the surprise Shen Chi had prepared for her?

This trickster, he even said in the morning he hadn’t prepared any gift, clearly deceiving her.

The manor was very quiet. When she reached the end of the path, she looked around but still couldn’t see Shen Chi.

"Husband, husband," Xu Chaomu called out.

No one responded, so she held her skirt and searched for him herself.

This place was indeed large, with several small western-style houses, all brand new, and seemingly uninhabited.

The manor was also full of various flowers and plants. In this full summer, the vegetation was lush, exuding a tempting fragrance.

Xu Chaomu walked around while admiring. She saw roses, Ziwei flowers, baby’s breath...

This place was like a little princess’s castle, igniting her imagination.

Xu Chaomu saw a signpost by the roadside, but as someone with no sense of direction, she couldn’t differentiate between north, south, east, and west, so she just followed her own footsteps.

In such a large area, every part might be connected.

With this thought, Xu Chaomu wandered around freely.

The small western-style houses here were beautiful, each one a different style, pleasing to the eye.

While walking, she saw fireflies flying and chased after them.

The ecological environment here was truly excellent, with even fireflies.

The fireflies were like stars in the sky, bright and twinkling, only they flew around constantly, like dancing spirits.

More and more fireflies appeared, until Xu Chaomu found herself in a small forest.

The trees were dense here, with many fireflies.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t tell if this was connected to the manor, but she was happy to see the fireflies.

She stood in the center of the woods, looking up at the dancing little spirits, her heart pounding excitedly.

It was the first time she had seen so many fireflies, it was truly beautiful.

Wooden lamps hung from the trees. This place was like an ancient castle from a fairytale.

"Wow!" Xu Chaomu was enchanted and intoxicated.

Everything felt like a dream...

She reached out and caught a firefly.

The small creature wriggled in her palm, making her realize this wasn’t a dream; it was real.

At this moment, the phone in Xu Chaomu’s bag rang. It was Shen Chi.

"Husband, where are you?" Xu Chaomu asked while looking up at the fireflies.

"Turn around."

"Hmm?"

Xu Chaomu turned around to see Shen Chi approaching her with a bouquet of fiery red roses.

Under the lights, Shen Chi wore a white shirt, tall and slim, handsome and elegant.

He slightly curved his lips, hung up the phone with one hand, and walked towards Xu Chaomu with a smile.

Xu Chaomu stood where she was, waiting for him with a beaming smile.

So, this man had prepared such a big surprise for her!

Shen Chi handed the roses to her and gently kissed her forehead.

Xu Chaomu held the roses, smiling like a girl in first love.

"Do you like it?" Shen Chi asked.

"Roses are so cliché, wouldn’t money flowers be better?" Xu Chaomu looked at him.

"You love the cliché anyway."

"Were these all specially prepared for me today?" Xu Chaomu asked.

"Of course, are you moved?"

Shen Chi pinched her cheek, as if she were still that little girl from before, just his own.

"A little." Xu Chaomu smiled, throwing herself into Shen Chi’s arms.

She was quite moved, it was important that Shen Chi had this intention.

All this was obviously carefully prepared by him, dreamlike and enchanting, giving her a fairytale-like world.

Shen Chi held her waist tightly, leaned down, and softly asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Not really." Xu Chaomu just wanted to spend more time with him.

She pointed at the fireflies flying around and asked, "With so many fireflies, did you catch them?"

"The environment here is great; there have always been fireflies, but I did have some brought in."

"You beast, not even sparing the fireflies," Xu Chaomu teased.

"Don’t label me as an environmental destroyer, I can’t handle that accusation."

"Got it!" Xu Chaomu said, "How long did you prepare for this?"

"Take a guess."

"No guessing, you probably just called someone to do it."

"Who says that, I personally prepared all this," Shen Chi said, "I spent a whole month."

"That long?" Xu Chaomu was surprised.

Had he prepared for so long just to surprise her on this day?

"Yes, a whole month, the roses had to be carefully selected to keep them fresh and intact."

"And this manor? I’ve never been here before."

"This is a new resort project by Shen’s, not yet open to the public. You’re the first guest, and of course, you’re also the hostess here."

"It’s such a good new project, yet you never told me about it."

"I had to bring you here eventually. It would be boring to tell you in advance."

"It’s very beautiful."

Xu Chaomu looked around, admiring Shen Chi’s prowess. He strives for perfection in everything, and this manor must be a project he supervised personally.

"If you like it, I’ll bring you again next time," Shen Chi said.

"Does that mean I can come whenever I want?"

"Of course!"

"Then take me around, this place is so big and beautiful," Xu Chaomu looked up at him.

"Hmm, I’ll show you around."
