If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 411 - : A Gust of Wind by the Pillow

Chapter 411: Chapter 411: A Gust of Wind by the Pillow

After saying that, Yu Weiwei didn’t wait for a response and took two wine glasses.

“It’s okay, you can drink all you want here at my place today. If you really get drunk, I’ll send you back to the Shen family. The worst I’ll get is a scolding.”

Although Yu Weiwei was quite afraid of Shen Chi, she hadn’t seen Shen Chi in many years and figured that Shen Chi would somewhat care about saving her face.

“No, Weiwei, I’m pregnant.” Xu Chaomu had no choice but to look at Yu Weiwei innocently.

She wanted to drink with her good friend as well!

Yu Weiwei’s hand, holding the wine glass, paused, and her facial expression went through countless changes!

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet – it was like a dye workshop had opened on her face!

“Xu Chaomu, say that again!”

She blinked furiously and stared at Xu Chaomu’s stomach, but there wasn’t a hint of pregnancy!

This girl couldn’t be tricking her, could she? Today wasn’t April Fool’s Day!

“I… I’m pregnant, almost three months now.”

“Holy shit, Xu Chaomu, are you, are you, are you serious?” Yu Weiwei was a bit incoherent.

Her face was a canvas of countless expressions – joy, surprise, doubt!

“Really, being pregnant is so annoying,” Xu Chaomu said, resting her head in her hands, looking utterly distressed.

Yu Weiwei was completely stunned: “You… you’re sure you’re not tricking me?”

“I wouldn’t dare trick anyone, much less you.”

“Then whose child is it?”

“My fiancé’s.”

“Fiancé? Who’s your fiancé?”

“You don’t know him.”

“It’s not your ‘dear brother’ Shen Chi?”

Xu Chaomu’s lips moved slightly, and she said indifferently, “No.”

“You… you’re really having someone else’s child?”

“Why can’t I have a child with someone else?”

Yu Weiwei still couldn’t believe it. Xu Chaomu loved Shen Chi so much; how could she have a child with someone else, how could she willingly marry someone else.

Five years later, has everyone changed?

Even if everyone else had changed, she couldn’t believe Xu Chaomu would change. Xu Chaomu really, really loved Shen Chi…

Perhaps the incident five years ago had been too big a blow for Xu Chaomu?

“Does Shen Chi know about this?” Yu Weiwei felt a twinge of pain in her heart.

“He knows.”

“He knows? What did he say?”

“He congratulated me and wished me well. He wished me a happy marriage with my fiancé, to grow old together. He’s quite happy that his sister is getting married. After all, he’s always felt that I was unmarriageable.”

“What ‘sister’? He likes you a lot; do you know that?”

“Weiwei, you’re being silly. Would you be with a man who isn’t up to the mark?” Xu Chaomu rambled on, trying to sound serious.

“It can be treated, I’ll get you an expert,” Yu Weiwei said earnestly.

Oh no, how could Xu Chaomu hold back her laughter now…

No, hold it in, hold it in.

“Let’s… not talk about this. It’s almost time for dinner; you should treat me to a feast!” Xu Chaomu quickly changed the subject.

“Fine, I’ll take you to a feast. We can talk more while we eat,” Yu Weiwei just wouldn’t let Xu Chaomu off the hook.

What’s going on with this girl? She comes back after five years, and she’s pregnant, with a child from a man she doesn’t even know.

What about Shen Chi?

She loved Shen Chi so much, and Shen Chi loved her just as much, had they really just drifted apart?

Did the incident five years ago truly leave an indelible scar on Xu Chaomu?

They left the research institute, and it was almost exactly half-past eleven.

Yu Weiwei drove out her own little car and took Xu Chaomu to a French restaurant.

“Weiwei, you’re really rich.” Xu Chaomu clicked her tongue as she looked at the white BMW.

“Don’t make fun of me, little lady. Your sweetheart’s car tires are worth more than my whole car. A little flick of your little finger, and you get whatever you want. If the pillow talk comes into play and a certain man gets a hot head, he might end up giving you the entire Shen Group.”

“What pillow talk? Do I look like the kind of catastrophic beauty that brings down nations?”

“In someone’s eyes, you’re more than that. But in my eyes, you’re just a female hooligan.”

“So annoying.” Xu Chaomu snorted coldly.

“By the way, Weiwei, isn’t the medical college a five-year program? How did you graduate early?”

“I finished all the courses ahead of time.”

“Weiwei, you’re so amazing, I’m proud of you. Indeed, interest is the best teacher.”

“…” Yu Weiwei’s mouth twitched.

“Weiwei, I don’t want to go to a French restaurant; I want to eat hot pot!”

Xu Chaomu thought, having spent five years in Paris, she had been eating French food for five years. Now that she finally returned home, she especially missed hot pot.

She had been back for many days, yet no one had taken her out for a good meal.

Every time she said, “Let’s eat hot pot!”

Shen Chi would roll his eyes and respond indifferently, “Gutter oil.”

Was this man doing it on purpose? With his wealth, finding a high-end hot pot restaurant was no problem at all, okay?

He just didn’t want to spend the money, didn’t want to take her out to eat, and lacked any sense of romance.

“Okay, as you wish.” Yu Weiwei said, “It just so happens that a friend of mine has recently opened a hot pot restaurant. I’ve heard the taste is quite good, and they offer a wide variety of dishes. She has been inviting me to eat there; I just haven’t had the time.”

“Alright, let’s go eat.” Xu Chaomu was particularly happy.

When they arrived at the hot pot restaurant, Yu Weiwei’s friend even specially opened a private room for the two of them.

The aromatic steam from the hot pot wafted up, and the business of the restaurant was apparently booming, with people everywhere.

Xu Chaomu and Yu Weiwei made their way to the private room, where the base soup and the menu had already been prepared for them, and even the air conditioning had been thoughtfully turned on.

As expected of a friend’s store, they received all sorts of special treatment.

Xu Chaomu and Yu Weiwei ordered plenty of their favorite dishes—enoki mushrooms, rice cakes, tenderloin, ribs, shrimp paste… a whole table was filled to the brim.

Steam rose from the bubbling hot pot, but because the air conditioning was on, they didn’t feel hot. Instead, the atmosphere felt particularly good.

No wonder people say eating hot pot in summer and ice cream in winter is the ultimate enjoyment.

“Weiwei, did you look for me when I left school back then?”

“Of course I did, but everyone said you had disappeared. Later, your sweetheart came to school and took all your stuff away. To be honest, I cried so many times. I couldn’t believe a living person could just vanish like that.”

At this point, Yu Weiwei’s eyes also reddened. During that time, she was truly distressed to the point of crying in her sleep.

Xu Chaomu was such a lively and adorable girl; it was unthinkable that she would just disappear without a trace.

But she knew, no one in the world felt more heartache than Shen Chi.

From start to finish, Shen Chi was the one who suffered the most from Xu Chaomu’s disappearance.

She had heard from Li Beiting that during that period, Shen Chi had become so despondent that he drank almost every day, using alcohol to numb his senses, as if being intoxicated meant he wouldn’t have to remember Xu Chaomu.

“Weiwei, I’m so touched. I knew you loved me.”

“The person who loves you the most is Shen Chi, not me.”

“Why bring him up again,” Xu Chaomu scoffed.

Ironically enough, as Yu Weiwei was using the remote to switch channels, she just happened to tune into the financial channel. The program featured flashing cameras non-stop, and the main figure was none other than Shen Chi.
