If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 494 - : Want to Hold You Every Moment

Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Want to Hold You Every Moment

Shen Chi was also silent, and Xu Chaomu was feeling quite angry inside.

This scheming man, just betting that she didn’t want to hang up the phone.

“Okay, okay.” Xu Chaomu conceded, “Hurry up and tell me, why did you call me this morning?”

“Call me ‘husband’.” Shen Chi was insistent, his voice firm in a way that brooked no resistance.

“…” Xu Chaomu was so angry she was practically trembling.

She steeled her heart, bowed her head, gritted her teeth, and reluctantly called out “Husband”…

“Mhm.” On the other end, Shen Chi felt very comfortable hearing it, and his lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

Just by coincidence, a man walked out of the small meeting room to go to the restroom, and as he opened the door, he heard Xu Chaomu call out “Husband” to someone on her phone.

The man pushed his glasses up, looking at Xu Chaomu in confusion.

Xu Chaomu’s eyes widened in shock; wasn’t this one of the interviewers who had just interviewed her?

She quickly grabbed her handbag and ran off!

She had always claimed to be single on her resume, and she had also made a deal with Shen Chi not to mention their marriage within the company.

Now, before she’d even been hired, she was caught red-handed. Could this be considered deceiving?

The man was stunned on the spot for a good few minutes, and it just so happened that he was precisely from the Design Department.

He pushed his glasses up again, his face wearing an expression that seemed like he had been dealt a bad hand. freёnovelkiss.com

Xu Chaomu instinctively ran toward the elevator, finally calming down when she arrived there.

But why was she running?

“I heard today is the third round of interviews?” Shen Chi said nonchalantly.

Xu Chaomu was panting from running as she caught her breath by the elevator: “Yes… Yes, it is.”

On the other end, Shen Chi frowned: “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing much, does a CEO like you even care about such matters?”

“I’m not concerned about the interview, I’m concerned about you.”

As soon as Shen Chi said this, Xu Chaomu’s cheeks turned red. Honestly, she hadn’t realized before that this man was so skilled at saying sweet nothings.

She couldn’t withstand it.

“Then do you want me to work at Shen’s?” Xu Chaomu asked with her eyes blinking.

“The truth?”

“Of course.”

“I don’t.”

“Why not?” Xu Chaomu was unhappy.

“If you were to come, would I still have any freedom?”

“Then what’s your state when I’m not there?” Xu Chaomu retorted.

Shen Chi pondered for a few seconds, then deliberately said, “Well… when you’re not here, I can flirt with beautiful women and exploit the female employees to my heart’s content.”

“Shen Chi, you beast!” Xu Chaomu exclaimed, “You don’t even spare the female employees.”

“Isn’t it a loss not to take advantage of my position?” Shen Chi said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Then I won’t go. You can go ahead and flirt with your female employees, set your rules. Don’t let me spoil your mood.”

“If you come, I can exploit you,” Shen Chi said with a laugh.

“…” Xu Chaomu’s face was covered in black lines.

“To exploit you openly and rightfully, I will let you into Shen’s.”

“I’m coming to Shen’s to learn! To work! To pursue my dreams!” Xu Chaomu exclaimed angrily.

“I have only one purpose, to exploit you.”

“I’m not going.”

“You wouldn’t dare,” Shen Chi’s tone was very domineering, leaving no room for her resistance.

Xu Chaomu thought about it for a moment. She couldn’t just be spineless; Shen’s was such a good company platform, and so many people were desperate to get in. It would be too capricious to just say no and not take it.

Moreover, she refused to believe that she couldn’t outsmart Shen Chi.

Besides, in the future, she could keep an eye on him every day to see if he was truly staying out of trouble or just pretending.

“Then we have an agreement. Inside the company, pretend we don’t know each other,” Xu Chaomu laid down her terms.

“Fine,” Shen Chi agreed with a curve of his lips.

Only then did Xu Chaomu smile; yes, now she wasn’t afraid.

“Did you call me today just about this?”

“Mhm.”

“You miss me?” Xu Chaomu suddenly blurted out shamelessly.

When she was in a good mood, she liked to tease Shen Chi.

Now she thought, if she had signed that divorce agreement, would she even have the chance to speak with Shen Chi right now?

“…” Shen Chi went icy, intending to hang up, “I need to prepare for a meeting.”

“Oh, if you don’t miss me, forget it,” Xu Chaomu said dismissively.

Having said that, Xu Chaomu decisively hung up the phone, just as the elevator arrived.

With such matters, one must take the initiative.

Upon entering the crowded elevator where the signal was poor, Xu Chaomu temporarily put away her phone.

Shen Chi thought Xu Chaomu was mad at him for hanging up on him.

He redialed several times, but no one answered.

Now Shen Chi was the one who was anxious, making several calls in a row.

By the time the elevator reached its destination, a good while had passed.

When Xu Chaomu checked her phone, she saw that Shen Chi had called her several times in that short span.

Several minutes later, when the phone rang once more, she leisurely answered it.

Shen Chi didn’t waste any words and just replied with one word to Xu Chaomu, “Miss.”

Xu Chaomu was delighted inside; this man was truly a prideful tsundere, so concerned with face!

“How much do you miss me?” Xu Chaomu asked indifferently.

“Xu Chaomu, don’t push it too far!” Shen Chi snapped.

“Fine, forget it, then,” Xu Chaomu pretended to be unsatisfied.

She had to repay him for earlier when he made her call him “husband.”

“Missing you every moment, wanting to hold you, does that count?!” Shen Chi said.

Uh… Xu Chaomu was taken aback; his response was not what she expected.

“Husband will be back soon, don’t feel empty, lonely, and cold,” Shen Chi began his counterattack.

Uh… Xu Chaomu was sweating profusely; this was something Shen Chi might hold over her for a lifetime.

Some missteps really do turn into lifelong regrets.

“Then say it again, do you miss me?” Xu Chaomu hurriedly changed the subject.

This man was particularly petty and vengeful; she had just hung up on him, and he immediately started to counterattack.

“More than missing you… I want you,” Shen Chi deliberately lowered his voice.

Xu Chaomu held her forehead, feeling utterly defeated; she admitted she was no match for him and bowed to the inevitable.

“Alright, alright, you’re handsome, whatever you say is right,” Xu Chaomu said innocently.

“Mhm,” Shen Chi didn’t hesitate to agree.

Xu Chaomu sweated profusely; couldn’t he be a little more modest?

“Then do you miss my baby?” Xu Chaomu took the opportunity to divert the topic once more.

This time, there was no immediate reply on the other end, and the phone went silent for a moment.

Xu Chaomu had just asked casually, not expecting silence.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her grip on the phone tightened without reason.

“Miss.” It took a while before Shen Chi finally spoke.

Listening, Xu Chaomu realized he didn’t seem as sincere as when he said he missed her, at least not as quickly.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Chi indeed had been silent for a while, as he hadn’t expected Xu Chaomu to ask him that question.

Perhaps because the child was still too young, he often forgot that she was pregnant.

Thus, many times, he truly hadn’t thought about their child.

“Oh,” Xu Chaomu responded lightly, her head bowed, no longer as cheerful as before.

She knew that Shen Chi still had reservations in his heart.

For a man to unconditionally accept this child was already doing his best.
