If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 806 - : Divorced After Three Months of Marriage

Chapter 806: Chapter 806: Divorced After Three Months of Marriage

The sunlight fell on Xu Chaomu’s face as she tilted her head up to glance at Shen Chi.

“Fourth Brother, it seems like Weiyang doesn’t care much about Ji Shengxuan anymore,” she said.

“What’s that got to do with you?” Shen Chi replied coldly.

“I’m just trying to find something to talk about with you. Otherwise, wouldn’t you get bored? If you’re not bored, then let’s just keep walking like this, not minding each other,” Xu Chaomu huffed, “Anyway, I’m too lazy to talk. Talking is such a hassle.”

“…” Shen Chi pressed his hand to his forehead. Talking is a hassle? That certainly hadn’t stopped her from talking before.

Sure enough, Xu Chaomu stopped talking and just kept on walking.

...

Left with no choice, Shen Chi could only say, “Fine, you talk.”

“But when I talk you don’t respond. Even if you do, it’s just a word ‘hm’, two words ‘so noisy’, three words ‘got it’, four words…”

“Xu Chaomu, where the hell do you find so many things to prattle about?” Shen Chi exploded.

“Alright, alright, you’re handsome so you’re right, I’m ugly so I’m at a loss,” Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched, “Without the prattle I’ve got nothing to say.”

Feeling annoyed, Xu Chaomu let go of his hand and deliberately walked behind.

Shen Chi had no choice but to stop and wait for her.

After a long moment, he compromised, “Okay, talk, I’ll try to respond.”

Xu Chaomu rolled her eyes at him. Truly tsundere.

“So tell me why Ji Shengxuan and Weiyang got divorced?”

“Didn’t I tell you already?”

“That explanation doesn’t hold water!” Xu Chaomu said, “The whole ‘they fell out of love and got divorced’ thing, I don’t buy it. Tell me, how long had they known each other before the divorce?”

“Why are you digging into this?”

“I’m just curious, okay? Or let’s talk about something else, like, who do you think is the most beautiful woman in the world?”

Shen Chi pressed his hand to his forehead again, “They’d known each other for just over a year.”

He would rather answer the first question than the second one.

“Over a year, that’s pretty long, so how long were they married?”

“They knew each other for over a year and divorced three months after getting their marriage certificate.”

Xu Chaomu was shocked, “Married for three months and then they split? A flash divorce?”

“Hmm.”

The two walked side by side on the road. At first, they were just walking next to each other, but gradually, Shen Chi took Xu Chaomu’s hand.

Hands interlocked, Xu Chaomu didn’t resist and let him hold her hand.

Xu Chaomu pondered for a while but couldn’t figure out the reason.

“So tell me what happened?” she asked, her curiosity piqued.

If it were someone else, she wouldn’t have bothered asking, but she was really curious about Ji Shengxuan.

“Don’t know,” Shen Chi replied indifferently with three words.

“Is it that you genuinely don’t know or you just can’t be bothered to tell me? I suspect it’s the latter. Is talking to me really that taxing? Can’t we just have a pleasant conversation?” Xu Chaomu said.

“Shut up!” Shen Chi snapped angrily, “Can’t you talk about something else?”

About Ji Shengxuan’s affair, he only had a smattering of knowledge, that’s all.

How could he elaborate on it? He wasn’t the one involved!

Moreover, he was still considering whether or not to tell Ji Shengxuan about it.

Ji Shengxuan had no clue that he had a son. Wouldn’t it be too unrighteous to keep it secret? What if Ji Shengxuan found out someday? Could they still be friends then?

But this infuriating woman kept jabbering by his side, disrupting his train of thought.

“Fine, fine, let’s talk about something else,” Xu Chaomu said, her eyes darting around. What to say?

She saw Shen Chi furrowing his brow deeply as if he were deep in thought.

What should she say then?

As she followed Shen Chi’s pace and walked forward, after a while, she said, “Fourth Brother, I’ve noticed that our company is full of handsome guys. Now that you’ve handed over the company to me, does that mean I can openly flirt with the young hunks in the future?”

“Get lost,” Shen Chi glared at her coldly.

“Okay, okay, I’ll go roll around with the young hunks, with the sheets…” Xu Chaomu deliberately said with feigned zest.

“Xu Chaomu, are you tired of living or what?” This remark successfully captured Shen Chi’s attention.

He let go of his concerns about Ji Shengxuan, grabbed her hand, and dragged her to the side of the wall.

“You want to roll in the sheets? Your husband is strong and skilled, and you’re still thinking about other men? It seems I haven’t satisfied you. Shall we go home and continue?”

“No… the doctor said, less strenuous exercise,” Xu Chaomu looked at him pitifully.

If she didn’t bring up the doctor, this man would definitely be able to drag her to a hotel and do it right now.

“If it weren’t for the little guy in your stomach, I would train you so well that you couldn’t get out of bed and wouldn’t know which way is north!” Shen Chi warned her severely.

Xu Chaomu stuck out her tongue, “Got it… you’re powerful… President Shen, could you please let go of my hand so we can take a nice walk?”

“Still dare to talk nonsense?”

“I wouldn’t dare…” Xu Chaomu blinked her innocent, large eyes.

She was just saying it off the top of her head, and President Shen actually took it seriously.

Since he took it seriously, she dared not be insincere and could only… stay quiet.

“Mhm.” Shen Chi patted her head and finally let go of her.

Xu Chaomu straightened her clothes and continued to walk side by side with him.

The early autumn sunshine was not scorching, and it was still morning—it was neither cold nor hot, and the temperature was very comfortable.

The willow trees by the road had turned somewhat yellow, the yellow leaves scattering everywhere. When the wind blew, they whirled and fluttered around. Under the sunlight, the shadows of the leaves through the light created countless poses and shapes.

There weren’t many people on the road. Xu Chaomu stepped on the leaves, being led by Shen Chi, feeling incredibly happy.

Her white canvas shoes crunched over the fallen leaves, producing a “shasha” sound, which was extremely beautiful.

She continued to tread on the leaves, not feeling childish at all.

Shen Chi didn’t bother with her; as long as she was happy, that was enough for him.

Moreover, he really liked Xu Chaomu this way—beautiful like the sunflowers blooming in spring, facing the sun, strong and optimistic.

…

After some time, Xu Chaomu returned to the Shen Family for a visit.

She had been living at the Waterside Pavillion these days and hadn’t been back to the Shen Family. She missed Butler Ling a bit.

When she arrived, it was just after ten in the morning. Butler Ling was busy training the new servants.

“Butler Ling!” Xu Chaomu called out and walked in, beaming with joy.

“Chaomu?!” Butler Ling was somewhat surprised, as it had been many days since he last saw her.

“It’s me! I’ve come back to eat today. I want to eat a meal cooked personally by Butler Ling!”

“Good, very good, look at me—after you weren’t at home, I got too lazy to cook myself; it’s all been left to the chef,” said Butler Ling.

“Butler Ling, do you need my help? I’ll call Shen Chi in a bit and ask him to come home for dinner.”

“Good, good, good, I love it when you both come back. Without seeing you, I always feel like something’s missing.”

Butler Ling looked at Xu Chaomu for a few moments and said earnestly, “Chaomu, you’ve been looking good lately, you’ve turned paler and also a bit plumper.”

“Really? The legendary ‘fair and chubby’?” Xu Chaomu laughed.

Butler Ling was amused by Xu Chaomu and laughed along.
