If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1014 - Chapter 1014 Chapter 1014 Interested in Young Girls

Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: Interested in Young Girls Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014: Interested in Young Girls Spring came neither early nor late, in the month of May, right at the transition between spring and summer.

Thunder roared in the sky, and the surroundings plunged into an infinite heaviness and oppression, marking the arrival of summer.

Xiao Mo had turned down the business affairs in South America and was only involved in a few projects around C City.

On this day, the rain fell heavily, with lightning cracking and thunder booming; everywhere, one could hear the “whish-whish” of rain hitting the ground, quickly forming puddles.

Xu Chaomu sent a message to Xiao Mo: “Thank you for the medicine, Wealth can walk on the ground now, but he limps when he does.”

After this message, she added a “sad” emoticon.

Xiao Mo felt a sense of melancholy upon seeing her text.

“Keep applying the medicine to him, and he’ll get better,” Xiao Mo replied.

“Of course, I will take good care of him and make him as lively and cute as before.”

Xiao Mo looked at the torrential downpour outside the window, which seemed to pour from the sky, rather spectacular.

The weather was terribly muggy; Xiao Mo stood by the window, mobile phone in hand.

He replied to her, “Yes, as lively and cute as before.”

Soon after, Xu Chaomu sent him a “grinning” emoticon.

Xiao Mo also smiled and sent back a smiling face.

Through the screen, he seemed to feel Xu Chaomu’s inner kindness and vibrancy; every word and phrase could capture his attention for a long time.

Standing by the window, he looked down at the text on his phone.

As he read, the corners of his lips would curl up into a slight arc.

Then she stopped responding, so he sent a few words: Is it raining in Jin City?

C City wasn’t far from Jin City. With such heavy rain in C City, Jin City should be experiencing rain as well…

As he predicted, Xu Chaomu replied: “It is, but today my boss rewarded me with a day off.”

“Why?”

“Because a small project I just managed was successfully completed!” Xu Chaomu sent a very happy emoticon.

“Congratulations.”

“Hehe, I’m planning to take Wealth out for some tasty food.”

“Remember to bring an umbrella in the rain.”

“Got it!”

Even through the screen, Xiao Mo could feel Xu Chaomu’s joy. She was now living with that little dog, dependent on each other; he could sense her happiness as Wealth’s health gradually improved.

The best thing was for her to be happy…

Xiao Mo looked at the screen but didn’t disturb her further.

Silently clutching the phone in his palm, he looked up toward the window.

Outside, the rain fell in sheets, and you could hear the clear sound of rain through the windows. A misty haze rose around, with tall buildings obscured by the fog.

From time to time, lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the rumble of thunder.

“What are you looking at so intently?”

At some point, Shen Chi had come to stand behind him, his hands casually tucked into his trouser pockets as he walked leisurely towards Xiao Mo.

The lights were on in the office, and under the lighting, Shen Chi appeared handsome and collected, with firm and resolute facial features.

Xiao Mo turned around and smiled at Shen Chi, “Just a few economic news updates; the export situation has been looking good lately.”

“Oh,” Shen Chi nodded casually, “I’m attending a banquet tonight. If there’s nothing important, you take care of the group’s matters. No need to call me.”

“What banquet?” Xiao Mo frowned, as he hadn’t heard about it.

Moreover, Shen Chi was someone who typically didn’t like attending such events.

“A private wine party, it’s the tycoon Pei’s daughter’s birthday,” Shen Chi said with a faint smile.

“Birthday?” Xiao Mo looked even more surprised, and then with a forced smile, “President Shen, aren’t these the kinds of parties you’ve always disdained to attend?”

“I think, working every day is not such a good thing.” Shen Chi hooked the corner of his lips and patted his shoulder, “I’ll be leaving soon, you keep an eye on the company’s work.”

“Okay, call me if you need anything.”

“Mhm.”

After speaking, Shen Chi left Xiao Mo’s office.

Xiao Mo shook his head; Shen Chi had always avoided such parties, so why the exception today? Had he come to a realization?

He did hear that this daughter of President Pei was quite beautiful, though a bit young, just over twenty.

Would Shen Chi really be interested in a young girl?

But it’s hard to say, back when Xu Chaomu was eighteen years old, didn’t he secretly get a marriage license behind everyone’s back?

Today the rain is coming down so hard, there’s not much happening at the company, so Xiao Mo decided to go back early today and not work overtime.

It’s already the afternoon, the sky is gloomy, the rolling cumulonimbus clouds looming as if ready to crash down.

The thunder is loud, lightning flashing across the sky, illuminating the tall buildings.

Shen Chi then went to the garage to get his car and drove back to Waterside Pavilion.

This storm is really fierce, everything looks misty; summer is here, and it looks like there will be no shortage of such storms in the future.

Shen Chi went back to Waterside Pavilion and changed into a casual white suit. He tidied his clothes, had someone prepare a gift, and drove to the party himself.

When he arrived, it was neither early nor late, just in time for the start of the party at seven in the evening.

At that time, Xu Chaomu was at home watching TV.

She finally got a day off from her boss, but it rained all day long, preventing her from taking Wealth out for some good food, so she planned to cook dinner herself later.

She cuddled a pillow on the sofa watching a TV series, while the limping Wealth hobbled to Xu Chaomu’s feet.

Before, Wealth could jump up on the sofa by itself, but now, it couldn’t.

Tearful eyes peeked from Wealth as Xu Chaomu picked up its paws and lifted it from the ground.

“There, there, Wealth, don’t be sad, you’ll be better soon,” Xu Chaomu said, stroking its little head.

Wealth nestled into Xu Chaomu’s embrace, rubbing against her… rub, rub, rub…

“Hehe, such a good boy.” Xu Chaomu loved her dog so much.

It was fortunate it wasn’t seriously hurt.

After some play, Wealth sat with Xu Chaomu to watch TV; regardless of the heavy rain outside, it was very cozy at home.

Watching TV, her thoughts sometimes wandered.

For instance, her baby has been gone for half a year now, and she has been away from Shen Chi for nearly as long…

Every time these thoughts crossed her mind, a shadow of loss passed over her eyes.

Apart from love, life has been good over these past six months, everything peaceful.

And him? He should have figured it out too… Her letting go was not running away; she was just too tired, just facilitating…

“Whimper,” Wealth made two sounds.

Only then did Xu Chaomu snap back to reality, looking down to see Wealth staring up at her with large eyes.

“Are you hungry? Shall I make something tasty for you?” Xu Chaomu smiled.

“Whimper.” Wealth cried again.

“Alright, let’s go make something tasty.” Xu Chaomu stood up, heading to the kitchen.

…

The rain lasted several days before stopping, and Jin City was almost flooded; the roads were difficult to navigate, and getting to work meant wading through water.

Xu Chaomu took the opportunity to ask her boss for a few more days off and stayed at home every day with her Wealth.
