If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 882 - He Says Nothing
Chapter 882: Chapter 882 He Says Nothing
Chapter 882 -882 He Says Nothing
But the photograph was still crystal clear, showing three people.
One was Mo Shuifu, whose facial features were very distinct, one was Xu Chaomu, who was adorable as a child. There was also a young and beautiful woman, who bore a resemblance to Xu Chaomu in the contour of her features.
Shen Chi didn’t need to think too hard to guess that this was probably Xu Mengxi.
“Achi, since you’re here, it’s time for me to go,” Zhou Ran said. “You can ask Chaomu what her plans are to take me to court and whether the evidence is sufficient. If everything is ready, then I’ll be at the Summer Resort. I will not run away and will be waiting.”
After speaking, Zhou Ran picked up the white backpack from the chair, left behind her unfinished hot coffee, and walked downstairs without looking back.
The upstairs cafe was very quiet, and during the silence, the sound of Zhou Ran’s high heels on the stairs could be heard.
Thud, thud, thud, thud…
The sound got fainter and eventually faded away.
Because there hadn’t been a significant confrontation between Zhou Ran and Xu Chaomu, a few customers didn’t pay much attention.
Shen Chi stood in place with the diary still in his hands.
He had finished reading what needed to be read, seeing some of the things recorded in the diary. There was nothing too shocking, but enough to unsettle one’s heart.
Shen Chi slid the photo back into the diary, snapped the diary shut with a “thwack,” and threw it onto the table!
Xu Chaomu’s heartbeat quickened as her large eyes stared at him without blinking.
From the moment he picked up the diary to the moment he set it down, there wasn’t much emotion on his face, until he tossed it aside and gave her a look that held a trace of coldness.
Without a word, he turned and walked away.
“Fourth brother! Fourth brother!” Xu Chaomu was frantic, calling out to him.
She stuffed the diary into her bag and hurriedly followed him down.
But as a pregnant woman, she couldn’t outrun him, and by the time he was already outside the cafe, she was still on the stairs.
“Fourth brother!” she screamed hysterically.
But his straight-backed figure carried a hint of cool aloofness; his body stiffened for a moment, but he didn’t look back, instead, he walked towards a car outside the cafe.

Xu Chaomu’s voice drew the attention of many in the cafe on the first floor, but nobody really took notice.
A server noticed Xu Chaomu’s difficulty walking with her pregnant belly and wanted to help, but she refused.
She walked down the stairs alone, very slowly, one step at a time…
Her blurry gaze settled on the outside of the cafe; his car had already driven off, leaving without a second thought…
Why wouldn’t he even listen to her for a moment…
She hadn’t expected him to arrive in C City so early today, and when she talked to him, he ignored her…
After all, they hadn’t seen each other for six days.
As she walked down the stairs, her legs felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, unable to lift.
It felt as if there was a stone pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
In the past few days, she had made up her mind not to gather evidence to sue Zhou Ran. If Zhou Ran went to jail, she and he would really never be able to be together well in this lifetime.
She had thought it through, knowing that doing so was unfair to her mother, but she wanted to be selfish for once…
But why wouldn’t he even give her a chance to explain?
When she reached the last step of the staircase, it looked as if she had exhausted all her strength, her large eyes staring ahead, empty and confused.
His car had long since driven away, out of sight, and she even doubted whether he had really come back just now…
Her nose tingled, and tears almost fell, but she bit her lip and forced herself to hold them back.
The cafe attendant, fearing something might happen, came over to help her, supporting her as she walked outside the cafe.
Xiaogao was in the car enjoying the scenery when he saw Xu Chaomu come out, and he quickly hopped off the vehicle.
Noticing that Xu Chaomu’s mood seemed off, he asked anxiously, “Mrs. Four, what’s wrong? Did someone bully you? Was it someone from this cafe?!”
Filled with a sense of justice, Xiaogao couldn’t stand the thought of Mrs. Four being bullied.
Xu Chaomu shook her head, squeezing out a faint smile.
“No, who would dare bully me? It’s enough that they don’t get bullied by me.”
Clearly, Xiaogao wasn’t aware that Shen Chi had returned; he probably was still planning to pick him up on time.
“Hehe.” Xiaogao chuckled, “So where are we going now? The park, to meet friends, or shopping?”
“Let’s go home,” Xu Chaomu said.
She rarely went out, and today’s outing was purely to talk to Zhou Ran; now, she had lost the mood for it.
“Sure, sure, Mrs. Four, let me help you,” Xiaogao offered eagerly, as he assisted Xu Chaomu into the car.
“I just saw a mall over there having a big promotion,” Xiaogao chatted idly after helping Xu Chaomu into the car.
“I can’t handle crowded places.”
“True,” Xiaogao started the car.
“Is there anything you want to buy? If so, you could drive there, and I’ll wait for you in the car.”
Xiaogao, seeing how understanding Xu Chaomu was, felt a little mischievous.
He shook his head: “No, no, getting you home is what matters most.”
“Really, nothing? If that’s true, then let’s head home,” Xu Chaomu smiled.
“Let’s go home,” Xiaogao said.
In fact, he did want to buy something; the discount looked significant, and buying now seemed like a good deal.
Spotting his reluctant expression, Xu Chaomu laughed and said, “Go ahead to the mall, I’ll wait for you in the car. I’d like to see the hustle and bustle, too.”
“Really, can we go?” Xiaogao scratched his head.
“Go ahead, drive there.”
“Then, Mrs. Four, you wait in the car for me, don’t get out. I’ll just go buy a mobile phone and come right back. I’ve been having a small issue with my phone,” Xiaogao expressed his sincere thanks for Xu Chaomu’s understanding.
“Mm-hmm,” Xu Chaomu nodded.
Xiaogao drove the car to the outside of the mall, and Xu Chaomu saw indeed there was a sales event, with many items at 90% off and numerous buy-one-get-one promotions.
With his wallet in hand, Xiaogao got out of the car, reminding Xu Chaomu, “Mrs. Four, you wait for me; I’ll be right back. I’ve already looked up the phone models online, just need to check the prices now.”
Xu Chaomu understood and nodded again.
Outside the mall was a sea of people, and even from inside the car, Xu Chaomu could hear the bustling noise, lively and loud.
All kinds of promotional activities were underway, some stores had hired dance troupes, and singers performed songs.
Xu Chaomu felt it was great; she enjoyed lively places, full of life and less lonesome.
Watching all sorts of people and amusing items, her heart felt much brighter.
She rested her hand on her stomach, gently stroking it.
The incident back in the cafe was still like a stone stuck in her throat, making it hard for her to breathe.
She didn’t know where Shen Chi had gone—to chase after Zhou Ran, to the corporation, or back to the Shen Family’s home…
