If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 470: 470: She Believes Him

Chapter 470: Chapter 470: She Believes Him
Xu Chaomu’s eyelid twitched, and her head involuntarily drooped down.

This time, it wasn’t a video message but a text message.

The message only contained a phrase: Does your husband really love you that much? Has your husband ever held a wedding ceremony with you? Has he ever publicly acknowledged you as his wife?

Xu Chaomu’s hands were trembling. She wanted to throw the phone away, really badly.

No, Shen Chi truly loved her. She believed in him.

Although she couldn’t answer the last two questions.

Indeed, Shen Chi had never mentioned anything about a wedding ceremony, but she didn’t care about these formalities. He was so busy, of course, he didn’t have time to prepare for a wedding.

A complex expression flickered across her eyes, and her long eyelashes glimmered with a crystal gleam. She pursed her lips and placed her hands on the coffee table.

Pressing down hard on the coffee table so her hands would stop shaking.

Her heart was pounding non-stop, as if it was about to leap out of her throat.

Who was sending these messages? Why were they sending these to her?

This person definitely had ulterior motives!

She trusted Shen Chi, she had faith in him.

He went to the bar, certainly for business, and the flirtations, certainly for show.

She tried to calm her heart down, grabbing a corner of the coffee table, motionless.

The coffee table was made of glass. After holding it for a while, her hand was ice-cold and a bit painful.

“Shen Chi…”

Her voice was husky as she called out his name.

At this moment, she suddenly missed him so much. She wanted him to return to her side, to tell her himself that all those videos were just for show.

She wanted him to stand in front of her, to take her hand, and to track down the person who sent those videos.

Right now, she missed him so much…

Her chest ached, it had been a long time since she felt so miserable…

For an instant, her mind went blank, her eyes only seeing the empty walls.

Her sparkling large eyes were misted with a hazy layer of water, and with every blink, her lashes gathered glistening droplets.

She prided herself on her strong mental resilience, but at this moment, she felt utterly lost.

After zoning out for a very long time, she remembered that she wanted to call this unknown number!

She picked up her phone, only to find her hand was shaking fiercely.

Dialing the number, she held the phone to her ear.

“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off, please try again later.”

Xu Chaomu, not giving up, dialed again and again, only to hear the same message, “I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off, please try again later.”

Three times, four times, it was still the same.

Xu Chaomu sent a text message: Who are you?

She just sat in the music room waiting, her whole heart hanging in her throat.

She glanced at a mirror and saw her entire face was deathly pale.

After roughly half an hour of waiting, there was no response.

This person was definitely doing it on purpose, to disturb her peace of mind, and if she believed it, she would fall for their trick.

She wouldn’t believe these things; she only believed in Shen Chi.

She sat in the music room for a while longer, trying hard to suppress her emotions.

But soon after, she stood up and paced back and forth.

Should she call Shen Chi? It might seem childish, but it would at least give her some peace of mind.

Thinking this way, she looked up Shen Chi’s mobile number.

At this hour, Shen Chi was in a meeting and, of course, didn’t answer Xu Chaomu’s call.

Xu Chaomu thought she shouldn’t let a few messages disturb her peace of mind; she needed to stay calm.

She walked out of the music room, wanting to go outside to clear her mind. A walk and some fresh air might do some good.

It’s inevitable for Shen Chi to attend many social functions and meet some unnecessary people.

She smacked her head; she was willing to think about this now.

Her mood was so good this morning, but now it was all ruined.

Perhaps the messages were sent by Jian Sisi? There was nothing that woman couldn’t do…

But soon, Xu Chaomu negated this thought.

It was unlikely to be Jian Sisi; she didn’t know that Shen Chi and she were already married.

Not many people knew they had gotten their marriage certificate. A few of Shen Chi’s friends, a few of her friends, and some of the Shen family.

Clearly, the person sending the messages knew quite a lot about their life together.

Xu Chaomu wandered around the Shen family villa, absent-minded.

When Butler Ling saw Xu Chaomu, he couldn’t help but show concern: “Chaomu, you don’t look very well.”

Xu Chaomu raised her head and forced a smile: “Oh, perhaps it’s just too hot right now.”

“It is quite hot. You should go inside, don’t get sunburnt.”

“Butler, I don’t really feel like having lunch right now, I’m not hungry,” Xu Chaomu said listlessly.

“That won’t do; you must ensure three meals a day. You are eating for two now, you must think about the baby.”

Xu Chaomu had no choice, every time they mentioned the baby, she couldn’t argue.

She did love her baby, very much. So, she wouldn’t let the baby suffer…

She nodded, lowering her eyelids: “Okay, I’ll just eat a little less…”

“I’ve made you a nutritious soup, you need to nourish yourself more. This way, the baby will be born healthier and less prone to illness.”

“Butler, forgive my boldness in asking you a question. If your husband had to hug and cuddle with another woman due to business, what would you do?”

“I trust he would know his limits.”

Butler Ling responded with a sentence. Seeing Xu Chaomu looking unwell, was she worrying about the Young Master?

“I trust him too,” Xu Chaomu said softly, kicking a stone on the ground with her foot.

Her toe rubbed back and forth, she was speaking the truth; she trusted him.

As for whether he trusted her, she didn’t know…

After all, during their argument a few days ago, he had shown disdain for her.

“What’s the matter, Chaomu? Are you worried because the Young Master didn’t come home last night? You should trust the Young Master. Although he socializes a lot, he knows what he’s doing. He won’t do anything to betray you,” Butler Ling reassured her.

“I know.” Xu Chaomu nodded, smiling at the butler.

Once he called back, she would explain everything to him, and all would be well.

She had nothing to agonize over.

The person who sent the messages was definitely doing it on purpose, even though she couldn’t guess who.

“Come inside, don’t stand out here, the sun is quite glaring. A girl shouldn’t tan too much; otherwise, when the Young Master comes back, he will definitely scold me.”

“Butler, did he say when he would be back?”

“Probably not for several days.”

“Oh,” Xu Chaomu responded faintly, her face displaying little emotion.

“Chaomu, if you miss him, just give him a call.”

“I know,” Xu Chaomu nodded.

She turned and headed back from the outside into the living room.

In the vast living room, only a few servants were cleaning, and Xu Chaomu passed straight through on her way upstairs.

“Chaomu, what’s wrong?” Butler Ling asked eagerly. He noticed that Xu Chaomu’s complexion and demeanor were off.

“Nothing, I’m going upstairs to get some yarn, to knit for a while,” she replied.
