If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 441: How Many Times in a Night?
“Shen Chi, you need to be careful too. What you can think of, Shen Shihan might not fail to consider,” said Li Beiting.

“Mm,” Shen Chi nodded.

“Take good care of Chaomu,” Li Beiting patted Shen Chi’s shoulder.

“I will.”

The mistake he made five years ago, he wouldn’t repeat. She was his everything. If she could love him with her life, then he, too, could protect her with his.

Having said that, Shen Chi took out a lighter and set the paper, which had the routes and plans drawn on it, on fire.

The flames danced, and the white paper burned bit by bit.

“Shen Chi, I made mistakes back then too. I advised Chaomu to leave you…”

“It’s all in the past,” Shen Chi responded quite calmly, “after all, you were standing in my shoes.”

“I didn’t understand your feelings before, but now, I do. What could be better than spending a lifetime with the person you deeply love?” Li Beiting sighed deeply.

“Yes, no matter the harsh wind, frost, rain or snow, as long as she’s there, it’s enough,” said Shen Chi, his eyes deep, his stern face composed and steady.

Her smile was the best scenery in the world, something he never tired of looking at.

Joining hands, fingers intertwined. This life alone is sufficient.

Inside the Weiyang Club, the two of them drank several bottles of red wine together again.

As they talked, they became more and more open with each other.

After a few glasses of red wine, Shen Chi looked around the opulent Weiyang Club and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Beiting, so many years have passed, Ji Shengxuan has everything, yet he still isn’t married,” he said.

The Weiyang Club was the most famous club in C City, frequented by the rich and powerful.

Not only the Weiyang Club, but Ji Shengxuan had his hands on several other business chains, owning billions in assets.

This young man had the skill and courage, and no one in the higher circles dared to provoke Ji Shengxuan.

Therefore, even though the Weiyang Club had had countless disputes, Ji Shengxuan could easily settle all of them.

“Not only is he unmarried, but you also never hear any scandals about him,” Li Beiting said with a laugh.

“He sure can endure solitude and desirelessness,” Shen Chi said with a smirk.

“Aren’t you the same?”

Speaking of these things, the two men lost their seriousness.

Li Beiting was the first to speak: “Shen Chi, you’re twenty-eight this year, have you ever touched a woman?”

“Stop messing around,” Shen Chi replied coldly.

He picked up his glass and took a sip of red wine.

“There’s no one else here, you can speak out, and only I would know. Aren’t we brothers who can talk about anything?”

Li Beiting was somewhat tipsy, and he simply moved to sit beside Shen Chi.

“Brothers don’t talk about that.”

“Why not? Are you shy? Oh… I get it. You must have never touched a woman.”

“Stop talking nonsense,” Shen Chi said with a face as stiff as a board.

In fact, Shen Chi did feel quite uneasy talking about this.

He had touched a woman, but that woman…

Just thinking about what happened more than two months ago made him extremely uneasy.

It was the anniversary of his marriage to Xu Chaomu, but…

With a frown, he irritably unbuttoned the top button of his shirt.

“Big brother, you’re twenty-eight, not eighteen. What’s there to hide? There’s no one else here, just us two. I’m telling you, nowadays little guys at sixteen or seventeen have been with women. Big brother, you see so many women every day, don’t you have any physical reactions?” Li Beiting, slightly drunk, slung an arm around Shen Chi’s neck.

Shen Chi unceremoniously pushed his arm away and asked without any courtesy, “So, by that logic, you, President Li, must have been with a woman at sixteen or seventeen, right?”

“Nonsense, I’m a person of integrity.”

“Then that settles it, I’m also a person of integrity.”

“I don’t believe it,” Li Beiting’s mood improved greatly, “after all, the women surrounding you are countless. What kind don’t you have?”

“Aren’t all women the same? Of course, my Mumu is the exception,” Shen Chi said, with the corners of his lips curved up, a smile playing on his face without a sound.

Li Beiting was truly soured by that remark, tsk tsk, it seemed this man really only had eyes for Xu Chaomu.

“Tsk tsk, but you still haven’t answered my question, have you ever been with a woman? Don’t tell me, at twenty-eight you’re still a virgin…”

“Get lost.”

“That’s not right either. Xu Chaomu is so sticky with you; five years ago, or even earlier, you must have slept with her, right?”

“Do I look like someone who would sleep with an underage girl?”

“You have the face of a hypocritical beast,” Li Beiting said with a laugh.

At this moment, he was really feeling much better.

Several glasses of wine downed, he and Shen Chi got into unabashed mode.

“Li Beiting, you seem quite confident, maybe you’ve had plenty of women? Tell me, how many a week?”

“What do you take me for, Shen Chi? As you know, I’ve always been an upright gentleman.”

“Really? You have the face of a hypocritical beast,” Shen Chi mimicked him.

“Let’s talk about you; have you been with a woman or not?” Li Beiting prodded his arm.

“Stop annoying me.”

Shen Chi felt troubled recalling the events of a little more than two months ago…

“You don’t really have some issue, do you? At your age, it wouldn’t be strange to change women every day.”

“Li Beiting, will you ever stop your nonsense?” Shen Chi grew angry.

“If there’s a problem, come to the Sunshine Institute. I know people there, you’ll get a discount.”

“Well then, Li Beiting, let me ask you, how many times a night? How long does each time last?”

It was Li Beiting’s turn to facepalm. Shen Chi was so direct, it was written all over his animalistic face in big bold letters “SHAMELESS.”

“Let’s not talk about this…”

“Looks like you can’t do it? You should stop by the Sunshine Institute sometime.”

“Shen Chi, you’re the one who can’t do it!” Li Beiting’s mouth twitched.

“You’re the one who started being shameless,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“I’m serious with you, since you and Xu Chaomu didn’t have anything five years ago, now that she’s back, have you two done that thing?”

Another glass of wine and Li Beiting’s mood got even better.

Hearing Li Beiting talk about this, Shen Chi was truly fuming.

They were married, he had held her, kissed her, slept in the same bed, but he had never once taken Xu Chaomu.

Seeing the shift in Shen Chi’s expression, Li Beiting guessed a bit of the truth.

“Still saying you have no problem?” Li Beiting mocked.

“Xu Chaomu’s damn pregnant for over two months, how could I touch her?” Shen Chi blurted out angrily.

Li Beiting jumped, startled by the outburst.

Li Beiting quickly took his glass away from Shen Chi. After all, Xu Chaomu returned this time two months pregnant.

The resentment in Shen Chi’s heart, probably, only a man could understand.

The girl who clung to him for eight years suddenly, one day, slept with another man and even had a child…

If it were him, he’d feel no better.

Shen Chi’s hand holding the glass trembled, probably, this was the most nauseating thing to him.

Raising his head, he downed the glass of red wine in his hand.

“Shen Chi, don’t blame Chaomu or do anything rash,” cautioned Li Beiting.

Li Beiting knew this man was domineering; now that his wife was carrying another man’s child, who knows, one day in a drunk rage, he might do something impulsive.
