If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1112 - Chapter 1112 Chapter 1112 She Really Doesnt Want Him Anymore

Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: She Really Doesn’t Want Him Anymore Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: She Really Doesn’t Want Him Anymore Smoke wafted through the private room, and after smoking a cigarette, Shen Chi made a call to his subordinate.

“Mr. Shen.”

“Go to Jin City and check on Xu Chaomu right now.”

“Mr. Shen, we’ve been to Jin City before and found nothing.”

“That was before; I’m talking about now!”

“Yes, yes.” The subordinate was startled by Shen Chi’s tone and quickly complied with a flustered heart.

He didn’t know what was wrong with the big boss, who seemed to be in a very bad mood.

Since Jin City was close to C City, they had indeed already checked Jin City before, and he didn’t know why Shen Chi suddenly asked him to check again.

But whatever Mr. Shen said was correct; they had to obey unconditionally.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Chi was still restless.

Of course, ever since Xu Chaomu left, he had been incessantly frustrated and confused, only today it was even worse.

What did she take him for? A spare tire? Only someone with a hole in their head would treat him–a wealthy patron–as a spare!

He admitted his fault, but he truly wanted to be with her.

He took another deep drag of his cigarette, watching the swirling smoke and the white wall opposite him as his eyes hardened.

Once the matter with the Bai Family was settled, he would definitely go see her!

As he left the private room and sat in the driver’s seat, his cell phone rang, and his subordinate was calling.

“Mr. Shen, we’ve got information; you’re incredible.”

“Cut the crap!”

“Mr. Shen, we’ve checked the West Garden district in Jin City before but found nothing. This time, I had people sneak a peek, and it turns out there’s indeed a tenant named Xu Chaomu. No… Mrs. Shen.”

“West Garden?”

“Yes, it’s an old residential area with nice scenery.”

“The exact address?”

“I’ll send it to your phone shortly.”

“Anything else?”

“People say, Mrs. Shen has adopted a child. Neighbors claim they can hear a baby’s cries.”

“Adopted…” Shen Chi murmured softly.

“Yes, she adopted a baby.”

“I understand.”

Shen Chi hung up the phone and tossed the cell phone onto the passenger seat.

At that moment, his anger from earlier in the private room subsided considerably, and he was now filled with more guilt.

If he had been nicer to her, would her child still be alive…

And she wouldn’t have to adopt a child…

Adopting, adopting…

Thinking of this, his chest ached excruciatingly, as though an invisible hand was gripping it tightly, causing a suffocating pain.

The pain of losing a child was something an outsider couldn’t understand, including him.

Hearing the word “adopted,” his whole demeanor became silent.

She left him, simply because she was disappointed.

He had not done well enough, and he knew it.

He remembered the photo, the tender and joyful look on her face as she held the child; it was the first time he had seen her happy after losing her baby.

After losing the child, she had been calm in front of him, even playfully teasing him like always. Looking back now, it all seemed fake.

How could a mother, having lost her child, seem so undisturbed…

Now, she even adopted a child; had she made up her mind to live alone for the rest of her life? Or was it truly like in the photo, that she wanted to spend her life with Xiao Mo?

Did she really not want him anymore?

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, suddenly unsure of which direction to drive in.

The wind blew in through the window, touching him and moistening the corners of his eyes.

This summer breeze, too, was especially melancholic.

That night, Shen Chi sat in his car outside the bar for a long time, the evening wind blowing in through the window, his chest heavy.

Around midnight, he finally started the car slowly and drove back to the Waterside Pavillion.

The fountain outside Waterside Pavillion rose and fell, and from afar, he could hear the sound of the water.

After returning home, he went nowhere else but sat on the large bed in his bedroom, holding the ruby ring in his hand, silent.

It seemed as if it was only yesterday that he had put the ring on her finger, but in the blink of an eye, she was gone.

The large villa was eerily quiet, devoid of any liveliness.

He missed the times when she was there; when they would lie in bed together, she’d rest on his arm, chattering endlessly into his ear.

Then, her voice was the most beautiful music.

He would tell her she was noisy, but in his heart, he wished she would keep on talking forever.

Nights without her were long, and the days didn’t feel like days at all.

At night, he would close his eyes and almost smell her fragrance, but once he opened them, all that was there was the glaring crystal chandelier.

Just like he had told Weiyang and Ji Shengxuan, he didn’t have the confidence to win her back.

Seeing her happy with Xiao Mo, for a moment, he even thought that if she truly felt happy that way, then let it be…

But he couldn’t let go of his own selfish desires; he wanted to be with her too.

He couldn’t sleep well all night, and in the middle of the night, even without drinking, his head began to ache.

Alone, he silently took out a painkiller from the drawer and swallowed it with half a glass of mineral water.

The night was long, but he managed to get through it.

…

The next day he went to the corporation and wasn’t long in his office when Xiao Mo came to report for work.

Xiao Mo was the same as usual, bringing documents for him to sign and explaining the arrangements for the next few days.

“Mr. Shen, there is a wine reception tomorrow evening with Mr. Zhao.”

“Cancel it.”

“Mr. Shen, there’s a ribbon-cutting ceremony the day after tomorrow morning.”

“Cancel it.”

Xiao Mo nodded and flipped through the schedule: “Mr. Shen, there’s a conference in Canada next week, on Wednesday.”

“How many days?” Shen Chi looked up.

Xiao Mo didn’t expect Shen Chi to show interest; he checked the schedule and replied: “At least a week, up to ten days, depending on the arrangements from the Canadian side.”

“What conference?”

“About the use and development of new energy.”

“Oh…” Shen Chi responded meaningfully.

His long fingers tapped on the office desk, his expression still unchanged.

Xiao Mo didn’t know what Shen Chi meant by that “Oh,” and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Shen, are you interested in this conference? If you are, I can book the flight tickets now.”

“No.” Shen Chi turned his head to look into his eyes, “You go.”

Xiao Mo was taken aback, then smiled and said, “Mr. Shen, the conference notice specifies that you must attend.”

“There’s no distinction between us,” Shen Chi said meaningfully, his gaze landing on Xiao Mo’s face, “You can also take my place in things beyond your duty.”

It was clear there was subtext in his words. Xiao Mo was smart enough to sense that Shen Chi knew something; upon hearing this, it became even more apparent.

Shen Chi must have discovered something; as for how much, that was still unknown to him.

“Mr. Shen, our relationship is that of superior and subordinate; this is clear to me,” Xiao Mo stated.
