If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 994 - Chapter 994 Chapter 994 No Fate

Chapter 994: Chapter 994: No Fate Chapter 994: Chapter 994: No Fate But before long, she retracted that thought, after all, she was somewhat sensitive.

“Xiao Mo, it’s about that same thing, whenever you have time, help me check on the welfare home or the orphanage,” Xu Chaomu instructed.

“I’ll keep it in mind, but this matter cannot be rushed. I need to visit a few more places, and I also have to do it without Shen Chi noticing,” Xiao Mo said.

“Alright… I’m not in a hurry,” Xu Chaomu said.

After a simple dinner, Xu Chaomu and Xiao Mo exchanged a few words. Once Wealth had eaten its fill, Xiao Mo said farewell to Xu Chaomu.

“I’m heading back to C City now. Take good care of yourself, and take good care of Wealth too,” Xiao Mo said.

Standing beside the car, Xu Chaomu nodded, “Xiao Mo, you’ve really worked hard, making back and forth trips, Jin City is quite a distance from C City. Drive carefully on the road, and don’t work too late.”

Xu Chaomu said a few caring words to Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo had been of great help to her, and she had indeed troubled him many times.

“It’s cold outside, go back in early,” Xiao Mo said.

“Mhm.”

Just like on New Year’s Eve, Xu Chaomu watched Xiao Mo’s car drive away until it was out of sight before she prepared to head home.

Wealth stayed with her, crouching at her feet, and even though it was a bit cold outside, it didn’t whine or fuss, remaining well-behaved.

Soon, Xiao Mo’s car disappeared from her view.

It was cold outside; the evening wind picked up, causing tree branches to sway and rustle with a “swooshing” sound.

Xu Chaomu stood outside for a while, unaffected by the cold, at least she had Wealth with her today, and she believed things would get better and better.

“Woof woof.” Perhaps it was indeed a bit cold, Wealth barked twice at Xu Chaomu.

Under the streetlight, Xu Chaomu looked down to see Wealth gazing up at her with big eyes.

Xu Chaomu squatted down and picked it up from the ground.

“Wealth baby, let’s go home. Are you happy to see me?” Xu Chaomu held it and stroked its fluffy little head.

Wealth couldn’t understand her words, it just clung to Xu Chaomu intimately, burying its head in her embrace, letting her stroke it.

Wealth was obedient, and Xu Chaomu walked home with it, step by step.

It wasn’t too late, and there were still many people taking a walk in the neighborhood, and not far away, others were dancing in the square.

Spring would be here soon, another season full of vitality.

Last spring, she was in Paris, and in the blink of an eye, she was back in her home country.

Xu Chaomu got to the fifth floor, just as she was about to take the keys out of her bag, Wealth couldn’t wait to get inside and jumped out of her arms, hopping around at the door.

Xu Chaomu laughed, “Wealth, what if I didn’t prepare a little nest for you, would you be okay sleeping on the balcony tonight?”

Wealth, not understanding, continued to hop around, seemingly very excited.

Xu Chaomu smiled, opened the door, and Wealth hopped into the house, not at all shy.

This place wasn’t as nice as the Shen family’s, but she knew that Wealth definitely preferred being with her.

Before in Paris, if this little guy didn’t see her for a day, it would get so anxious it would bounce all over the place.

Xu Chaomu made a warm temporary nest for it, and because she was worried it would be cold at night, she even turned the air conditioning down a bit.

Recently, she had bought many books on raising and educating children, and every night she would read a bit. That way, when Xiao Mo brought her a little cutie, she wouldn’t be caught off guard.

Raising kids… shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

Xu Chaomu lay on her bed reading a book, while Wealth kept spinning around by her bed, playing joyfully.

The small bell around its neck was still there, Xu Chaomu remembered, it was Shen Di who had put it there.

That night, with Wealth by her side, she didn’t feel bored at all; her life seemed to have gained a lot more vitality.

Gradually, Xu Chaomu also built her own circle, and she became very close with many of her colleagues.

On weekends, besides working overtime, she would go out to dine, shop, and have fun with her colleagues.

Nearly three months had passed since the little bun had left her, and she had visited every corner of Jin City. Indeed, Jin City was a great place for tourism; it boasted many scenic spots, and the landscapes were particularly beautiful.

Especially now that spring was almost upon them, the flowers in Jin City were about to burst into bloom, and when they did, the city would be even more stunning, covered in a brocade of flowers.

Shen Chi had stayed in Switzerland for an entire month before returning to his country. He was busy with a project in Switzerland, working tirelessly day and night.

It was as if, by doing so, he could forget Xu Chaomu.

Sometimes at night, he wondered if he could harden his heart just once, to try and forget her as well…

However, after repeatedly dreaming about her countless times and still feeling a wrenching pain in the quiet of the night, he gave up.

He knew he would never forget her in this lifetime.

While in a foreign country, he immersed himself in work every day, which at least made things a little more bearable for him.

Although Xu Chaomu’s letter to him had been torn up by him, he had a good memory; some words, he would always remember.

Those words pounded on his heart like drumbeats, causing his heart to throb with pain.

After spending a month in Switzerland, he finally returned home, having successfully completed a fine engineering project.

Upon his return, Xiao Mo handed him all the important reports of the Shen Group for that period.

Shen Chi didn’t ask a single question because he knew that if there was any news of Xu Chaomu, Xiao Mo would definitely tell him. Now, with Xiao Mo saying nothing, that meant there was no news.

Since there was no news, asking any further would only be looking for discomfort.

However, what he didn’t expect was that upon returning to the Shen Family, the butler hesitatingly said, “Fourth Young Master, Wealth… it’s gone.”

He froze on the spot, a bitter taste spreading across the corner of his mouth. Wealth was gone too?

“How did it go missing?” Shen Chi asked.

The butler knew Shen Chi would ask, and replied, “That day, Wealth was playing in the Shen Family home, and no one was paying attention. Later on, it just disappeared. We searched everywhere and couldn’t find it.”

“Did you check the surveillance?”

“We did, but we couldn’t find Wealth,” the butler said, “I’m sorry, Fourth Young Master, we didn’t take good care of Wealth. We are truly sorry.”

“It’s not meant to be,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

After saying that, he walked past the butler toward the living room.

The butler looked up and glanced at Shen Chi, whose figure carried a hint of desolation and solitude, with a faint chill emanating from his profile.

After the trip to Switzerland, Shen Chi had become even more taciturn.

In the evenings, when the butler brought Shen Chi coffee, he would sit alone in his study working, reviewing documents.

This lifestyle repeated for many days, and the butler didn’t dare say another word.

The butler couldn’t help but wonder, was it really not meant to be?

If it wasn’t meant to be, why, out of all the people in this vast world, did the Fourth Young Master happen to fall for Xu Chaomu, and Xu Chaomu happen to fall for him?
