If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 808 - Shen Chi is a Bachelor

Chapter 808: Chapter 808 Shen Chi is a Bachelor

Hearing Xu Chaomu give him a command in that tone of voice, Shen Chi couldn’t help but feel both amused and helpless.

He stood up, holding his glass of red wine, and walked over to her.

“The dishes are good today, eat more,” Shen Chi sat down and said lightly.

So there he sat across from her, not particularly hungry, just watching her eat.

Hungry mainly because she’d been annoyed into it, Xu Chaomu shoveled in a couple of bites, then held her forehead and sighed.

“What’s the matter? Unhappy?” Shen Chi asked.

“Li Beiting is going to have a wedding with Mi Fei, how can I be happy?” Xu Chaomu said with her face full of woe, holding her chopsticks, “What do you think Li Beiting is trying to say?”

“Why worry so much about it? Just eat!”

Shen Chi fed her a bite of her favorite dish and successfully stopped the words she was about to say.

But after just a short moment, Xu Chaomu sighed again, “Should I tell Yu Weiwei, or should I not… to tell or not to tell…”

“Telling or not telling won’t change the fact!” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“No way, I’ll go find Li Beiting.”

“Eat your meal properly, go to work, and don’t concern yourself with other things!” Shen Chi warned her.

“How can Yu Weiwei’s affairs be considered other things? She’s my best friend, my friend for many years,” Xu Chaomu retorted, not convinced.

“Don’t meddle!” Shen Chi warned her again.

Moreover, Shen Chi didn’t just warn her, he also had someone watch over Xu Chaomu, fearing she might actually go find Li Beiting.

Li Beiting’s father was not someone to be trifled with; if Xu Chaomu, a pregnant woman, truly went to the Li Family, she couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

Shen Chi had no choice but to have someone watch her, not allowing her to go anywhere except for Waterside Pavillion and the corporation.

This meal left Xu Chaomu feeling restless. Having barely finished, she sat on the sofa and called Yu Weiwei.

“Weiwei, have you been busy lately?” Xu Chaomu asked with a smile nonetheless.

“Busy, exceedingly busy. Recently, I’ve been contemplating the expansion of the research institute,” came the reply.

“Congratulations to Director Yu, the research institute is growing larger and larger, looking for a sugar daddy?”

“Looking to be a sugar daddy for your brother-in-law? Isn’t a favored brother enough to support you?”

Xu Chaomu pouted her lips, glanced at Shen Chi who was sitting not far away, and said with a smile, “How could a favored brother compare with Sister Weiwei?”

“Spill it, what do you want? If it’s about shopping, I can’t accompany you; I’m swamped with work, pulling continuous all-nighters…”

“That busy, huh? It’s not about shopping, this pregnant lady can’t go shopping either, it’s just wanting to have a meal with you…”

“Wait, speaking of having a meal, I haven’t eaten yet, I’ll hang up and call you back later.”

“Hey, Yu Weiwei!” Xu Chaomu huffed.

But Yu Weiwei had already hung up, leaving Xu Chaomu staring at her phone in frustration.

However, judging by the tone of Yu Weiwei’s voice, she seemed unaware of Li Beiting’s upcoming wedding. If she only found out on the day, what would she do? Hide at home and cry, or charge into the church with a knife in hand?

Xu Chaomu felt that the latter was more likely.

“Fourth Brother,” Xu Chaomu called out, feeling slighted by Yu Weiwei, she shifted her attention to Shen Chi.

Shen Chi was standing by the window, overlooking the Shen Family’s garden. Hearing Xu Chaomu call him, he didn’t turn around, simply responding indifferently, “Hmm?”

“Li Beiting is getting married, will big sister come back?”

“I don’t know.”

“Damn, what do you know? You don’t know this, you don’t know that.”

“Can’t you make the call yourself?”

“…” Xu Chaomu held her forehead, as if realizing it was true.

All day long, Xu Chaomu was in a rather gloomy mood.

In the evening, she couldn’t contain her impulse any longer, and took a taxi to Yu Weiwei’s research institute.

As expected, Yu Weiwei was very busy, with various reports piled up like mountains in front of her, burying her head in writing something.

“Director Yu, how about having dinner together?” Xu Chaomu peeked into Yu Weiwei’s office.

Yu Weiwei was startled, “It’s you! How about this, if you help me finish all this work, I’ll go to dinner with you?”

“If you can’t finish the work today, just do it tomorrow. If it’s really not possible, I can find a few people to help write it,” Xu Chaomu said.

“You rich ladies don’t understand the hardships of us ordinary folks. If I don’t work for a day, I have no money to eat, no money to eat at all.” Yu Weiwei shook her head and sighed.

“I’m inviting you to eat,” Xu Chaomu snorted coldly, “No working at dinner!”

Xu Chaomu carried on Shen Chi’s fine tradition; she stepped forward, dramatically closed Yu Weiwei’s files, and dragged her out of the office.

Yu Weiwei had no choice but to comply, “Then you’re treating.”

“No problem.”

The two of them shoulder-to-shoulder went to a nearby dry pot restaurant. Of course, this kind of ordinary dry pot restaurant was not as upscale as those Western restaurants Shen Chi had taken her to, but Xu Chaomu liked it nonetheless.

She remembered, back in their school days, they often came out to eat like this.

The dry pot restaurant was very busy at night, filled with people everywhere, including many college students.

The two of them chose a spot and, after ordering, Yu Weiwei picked out some beer.

“I won’t stand on ceremony with you, you’ve promised to treat,” Yu Weiwei took a big gulp of beer.

“Are you taking advantage of the fact that I can’t drink? I really want to drink too. How about letting me have a sip?”

“Not even a sip!” Yu Weiwei refused her, “You should focus on feeding that little one in your belly. Sister Weiwei will drink a few bottles first.”

Yu Weiwei could still hold her liquor. The dishes hadn’t even arrived, and she had already finished a bottle of beer.

Before Xu Chaomu came out, Shen Chi had told her not to mention Li Beiting too much.

Xu Chaomu thought she was being obedient, for she didn’t bring up Li Beiting and simply accompanied Yu Weiwei to eat, talking and chatting as they did so.

Sometimes, they would talk about their old high school homeroom teacher, the old lady, and, of course, the male god Lou Yanli.

The more they talked, the happier Yu Weiwei seemed to get, drinking a few more bottles as they chatted.

Fortunately, it was just beer; Xu Chaomu didn’t make much of an effort to stop her.

It looked like Yu Weiwei still didn’t know about Li Beiting’s impending wedding, probably because the invitations had only just started being sent out.

As another bottle of beer went down, Xu Chaomu quickly stuffed some food into her bowl.

“Weiwei, eat some food, eat more, don’t just drink, the beer is cheap and not worth much.”

“Oh.” Taking her advice, Yu Weiwei finally put down her beer glass and started eating.

“Chaomu, has your man been treating you well lately?” Yu Weiwei asked.

“Pretty well, although sometimes he’s too busy to spend time with me.”

“Aren’t you two planning to have a wedding?” Yu Weiwei curiously asked, “Sometimes I read the newspapers and they all say Shen Chi is a ‘single noble’, a ‘diamond bachelor’. Being the official wife seems rather suffocating for you. Is he waiting to see if the baby is a boy to make it public? If it’s not a boy, will he keep it private?”

Yu Weiwei speculated on her own, as many rich families tended to do such things.

“Uh… Weiwei, it’s a boy in my belly. Actually, Shen Chi…he prefers daughters, just like me,” Xu Chaomu shamelessly bragged.
