If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1015 - Chapter 1015 Chapter 1015 Playing in the Car on the Road

Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015: Playing in the Car on the Road Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015: Playing in the Car on the Road After resting at home for several days, she finally went back to work the following week.

As soon as she got to the company, a group of people complained to her, “Chaomu… you’re so lucky to have rested at home for several days. These past days have been exhausting.”

“What happened?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“Overtime, rewriting plans! And the rain was so heavy; I slipped and fell on my way home last night.”

“Didn’t you ask the boss for a day off?” Xu Chaomu inquired.

“The boss wouldn’t approve it, saying something like ‘You didn’t break a leg or an arm, why should you take a leave?'”

Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but laugh, “The boss really isn’t compassionate.”

“The boss is only compassionate to those who can make money like you.” The female colleague rubbed her back and sighed, “Sigh…”

Xu Chaomu made herself a milk tea and sat at her desk to tidy up the documents that had piled up over the days.

There were newspapers from the last few days on her desk, and after sorting documents for a while, her neck started to feel sore, so she took a break and read the newspapers.

While Xu Chaomu was flipping through the newspapers, her female colleague said, “Chaomu, I’ve already read your papers, but I’ve left them as they were on your desk.”

“It’s fine, let’s all share them,” Xu Chaomu replied.

“You’re still subscribing to newspapers, nobody does that anymore.”

“I’m just bored,” Xu Chaomu said with a laugh.

Xu Chaomu turned a few pages, but as she did, the smile froze on her face.

Entertainment section, financial news… why was Shen Chi everywhere? Was he that famous? It never seemed like it before!

She flipped through several more sections, but it was all about Shen Chi.

On closer examination, she saw that these were candid shots of him attending various banquets and meetings.

There would be no paparazzi if it weren’t newsworthy. Xu Chaomu looked more closely and indeed, every time the woman by Shen Chi’s side was different, there was variety; some were plump, some were slim.

The top few stacks of newspapers were from the past few days, and she flipped through the most recent two days.

Tsk tsk, more of the same.

During this period, Shen Chi had attended numerous events, always accompanied by a female partner.

She hadn’t met these female companions, but they all had one thing in common: young and beautiful. Some were models, some were minor stars, others were rich heiresses…

Tsk tsk, this man had quite diverse tastes.

Xu Chaomu particularly stared at the women’s chests for a few moments, hmm, it seemed none were smaller than hers.

She casually turned more pages, and the more she flipped, the more shocked she became!

This… there was even a reporter suggesting “Shen Group President’s wife suspected of infidelity.” Suspected her of infidelity?

So, the logic of the reporter was, they suspected Shen’s wife of infidelity, and that’s why Shen attended so many dinner parties, why he met so many female companions?

Was that the logic?

Xu Chaomu felt that she was right, that was indeed the reporter’s logic.

Well, if she were to get angry with them, then she wouldn’t be Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu crumpled the newspapers into a ball and stuffed them all into the trash can, really.

What infidelity, if anyone was to cheat, it would be him, okay?

He was seen hugging so many girls, and yet they talk about her cheating? Were these reporters bribed by Shen Chi, or was there a problem with their logic?

However, the newspapers were saying this about her, and Shen Chi hadn’t come out to clarify anything. Wasn’t he very capable? Or perhaps, was he doing this on purpose just to irritate her? Childish.

He wouldn’t go back to her no matter how angry he got.

“Chaomu, why did you throw away the newspaper? Are you not reading it anymore?” a colleague asked curiously.

“Yeah, I’m not reading it, it’s not interesting.”

“Oh, you should have said so earlier. If you weren’t going to read it, you could have given it to me. I like the celebrities in it; I could take it home and place it by my pillow to look at more.”

“Unfortunately, it features a star I don’t like, so I tossed it.” Xu Chaomu shrugged.

“Chaomu, who don’t you like?”

“It’s nothing.” Xu Chaomu smiled, “Just some male stars who have scandals all day long, constantly changing women.”

Of course, she was talking about Shen Chi. Seriously childish. The media was so negative about her, and he did nothing. He was doing it on purpose, wasn’t he?

Not that his latest flings weren’t impressive–each had the figure, the face, at least better than Bai Man.

Xu Chaomu didn’t want to think about it anymore and simply turned on her computer to work on some designs.

Meanwhile, her female colleague was puzzled, “Who is this guy, changing women nonstop? Such lack of propriety, such scum?”

Xu Chaomu interjected, “Right, he has a problematic lifestyle, promiscuous, probably has illegitimate children everywhere.”

“Ugh, that kind of man… Hahaha, in ten or eight years a bunch of kids might show up, clinging to his legs calling him daddy, hahahaha!” The female colleague laughed, nearly doubling over.

A bunch of kids clinging to his legs calling him daddy?

Xu Chaomu imagined the scene and thought, hmm, how splendid.

“You’re not wrong,” Xu Chaomu agreed, “Plus a bunch of kids fighting over the inheritance, scheming against him in his old age, tsk tsk tsk.”

“Exactly, paying for his youthful dalliances!” the colleague said.

The two chatted excitedly and soon Xu Chaomu had forgotten all about it.

No matter what Shen Chi’s motives were, she decided to act as if she didn’t see.

In C City, she wondered how he explained it to others. Did he say his wife went abroad? Or ran off with another man? Or maybe they were never officially married and just boyfriend and girlfriend, now broken up?

After all, they never had a public wedding ceremony.

Thinking this way, Xu Chaomu didn’t feel much. They… seemed more like cohabiting lovers, didn’t they?

She had already returned the ring to him, and in truth, there wasn’t much attachment.

Only in the deep silence of the night did she feel a sense of being carved out at heart.

Perhaps it would get better with time. She hoped he could find a well-born lady, believing that love could develop.

Otherwise, what was the point of dating? Xu Chaomu was once again impressed by her own smart wit.

Xu Chaomu continued her usual routine, earning a modest salary and taking care of Wealth.

Such a life was comforting to her. Bai Man hadn’t come to bother her again, probably because Xiao Mo’s people were around, so she didn’t dare.

However, the past few days, she had seen Shen Chi in the newspaper repeatedly. What was that about?

It made her despise picking up the paper every day, simply handing it over to colleagues directly.

“Eh, this Mr. Shen, why do I see him again? Chaomu, is he the handsome one you said was of dubious character?” the female colleague said while looking at Xu Chaomu’s newspaper.

“Yeah, the one whose character is extremely dubious, who keeps many third-rate stars, playing out various positions every night,” Xu Chaomu said.

“How do you know?”

“Reportedly, this guy is very high-profile. You hear about this kind of thing through the grapevine.”

“Yep, yep, yep, there are no walls that don’t leak in this world,” the colleague said, “This guy really wastes a good-looking face.”

“No kidding. I heard that once, in broad daylight, he was caught in a romp in the car, then it was exposed by reporters.”
