If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 552: More Than a Thousand Could Afford a Miss
 

“Fourth Young Master, is your injury better?” Butler Ling asked with concern.

“It’s nothing.”

“This…” Butler Ling sighed, “Chaomu was also impulsive, There are ways to talk things through, why resort to violence…”

“Forget it,” Shen Chi said indifferently, still composed.

Butler Ling felt indignant for Shen Chi: “Fourth Young Master, this time Chaomu was wrong. Has she apologized to you?”

“It’s not necessary.”

“But that’s not right, right is right and wrong is wrong. This time she was at fault, she should apologize to you.”

“I don’t blame her.”

Butler Ling looked at Shen Chi, unsure of what to say. The Fourth Young Master really doted on Chaomu. Normally, he couldn’t even bear to touch her, let alone… Xu Chaomu truly was…

“Fourth Young Master, where did Chaomu go?”

Shen Chi was eating with an expressionless face: “She’s with friends.”

Butler Ling didn’t feel it was his place to ask more and silently moved to the side.

Shen Chi, such a domineering person, even the old master dared not scold or hit him. Yet now, he had been injured by Xu Chaomu.

After finishing his meal, Shen Chi sat on the couch reading the newspaper for a while. He lazily leaned against the couch, loosening his tie.

After returning to the Shen Family home, his mood settled down a lot.

Apart from Xu Chaomu, what else could possibly disturb his peace of mind?

He flipped through the newspaper casually, then lit a cigarette.

A cigarette clamped in one hand, financial pages in the other, suddenly, his mobile phone vibrated.

Reaching for the phone by the couch, it turned out to be a spending notification text from an Italian restaurant.

The corners of Shen Chi’s lips curled up immediately, revealing a meaningful arc.

Still knows how to spend his money? What, her ex-fiance didn’t foot the bill for her?

Shen Chi looked at the text with a profound gaze, unfazed, and then put the phone away.

He continued reading the newspaper and was almost done when he heard someone crisply calling out “Butler Ling” outside!

That voice, who else could it be but Xu Chaomu?

After a while, the door to the living room was pushed open by Butler Ling. As the door opened, a warm breeze entered.

“Chaomu, the Fourth Young Master is here,” Butler Ling said.

“Oh.” Xu Chaomu didn’t look up, changed her shoes, and seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

Butler Ling glanced at Shen Chi, who also did not look up, and continued reading his newspaper, expressionless, as if he did not see Xu Chaomu at all.

After Xu Chaomu changed her shoes, Butler Ling poured tea for them.

“Chaomu, have you had lunch?” Butler Ling asked with concern.

“I ate already, Butler Ling, I’m going upstairs for a nap.”

“Stay for a while, I’ll make you a cup of tea.”

“No need, no need, I’m so sleepy, I’m going to sleep,” Xu Chaomu waved her hands repeatedly.

Someone is sitting on the sofa with a stern face right now. If she went to sit by his side, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

“Didn’t see you getting sleepy when playing outside,” Shen Chi suddenly spoke up indifferently, with a tone that invited a beating.

He still did not look up, maintaining a straight face while reading the newspaper.

Xu Chaomu gave him a blank look, responding with two words: “Childish!”

This man becomes as jealous as a little kid, forgetting all his image and status!

A mature appearance, but a childish heart!

“Chaomu, Chaomu, have some tea, sit down, it’s not good for your body to sleep right after eating,” Butler Ling quickly tried to persuade.

She was unaware of the situation and thought the two of them were about to argue again. After all, the injury on Shen Chi’s arm… it was caused by Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu wouldn’t lower herself to Shen Chi’s level. She took a seat next to a coffee table and picked up the tea Butler Ling had prepared for her.

The aroma of the tea was soothing, and she gently sipped it twice.

“Chaomu, did you eat alone outside?” Butler Ling asked prior to Shen Chi.

“With two friends.”

“Using my card to treat your ex?” Shen Chi said indifferently.

Without raising his head, still reading the newspaper, Butler Ling placed a tea cup in front of him, but he did not move.

For a moment, all that could be heard was the sound of him flipping the newspaper pages.

Only then did Xu Chaomu remember, at lunchtime, Yu Weiwei didn’t bring her wallet, and Nie Chenglang’s wallet was stolen at the hospital.

The lunch was paid for by her.

In her rush that morning, she had just grabbed a random card, and casually swiped it for the meal.

Hearing Shen Chi mentioning it now, she felt somewhat displeased: “His wallet was stolen by a thief.”

Upon hearing this, Butler Ling realized that Xu Chaomu’s friend was that man called Nie Chenglang.

She had seen him, that young, slender, and handsome man who spoke politely and gentlemanly with a friendly demeanor.

If it were about looks, that man was not inferior to the Fourth Young Master; only, in her eyes, the Fourth Young Master was better, incomparable to anyone else.

Could it be that the quarrel between the Fourth Young Master and Chaomu was because of Nie Chenglang?

Butler Ling was most concerned about the child in Xu Chaomu’s stomach. With Shen Chi’s explosive temper, if one day they argued and he dragged Xu Chaomu to the hospital, there would be no escaping it.

“Oh, what a coincidence,” said Shen Chi, in a bland tone.

“Is it such a big deal to have a meal? Over a thousand yuan? Are you serious?” Xu Chaomu, annoyed by his sour tone, rummaged through her bag for that card and slammed it down in front of Shen Chi.

“Here, take it!”

She slammed it down, got up angrily, no longer wanting to drink her tea, and headed straight for the stairs.

After all this time, he was still not over his jealousy?

Butler Ling hurriedly pulled her back: “Chaomu, don’t get angry, the Fourth Young Master is only joking with you. It’s just over a thousand yuan, it’s nothing.”

Only then did Shen Chi put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up the card on the couch.

His demeanor was cold, lips tightly pursed, his slender fingers playing with the card lightly.

“Butler Ling, how can you say it’s nothing, someone is feeling the pinch, it was more than a thousand yuan, he’s upset that I used his money. With more than a thousand yuan, you could get a Miss for a whole night, or even two for a cheaper deal,” Xu Chaomu mimicked Shen Chi’s tone, with a hint of sarcasm.

Uh… Butler Ling broke into a sweat.

Miss… Is the Fourth Young Master the kind of man who would go out and pay for Misses?

“Yes, you’re right, more than a thousand yuan could get you a Miss, shouldn’t you show some gratitude?” Shen Chi said in a low voice, standing up, snuffing out the cigarette in his hand, and approaching Xu Chaomu.

A glint of cunning flickered in the eyes of someone, and Xu Chaomu quickly stepped back.

“In a while, when I get my salary, I’ll pay you back.”

Butler Ling interjected: “It’s fine, it’s fine, we’re all family. Fourth Young Master, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Family? Ask her if she considers me family!” Shen Chi’s face darkened.

“How could that be? Chaomu always tells me how good you are to her, and she even…” Butler Ling wanted to say that she had knitted a scarf for him.

However, her words were cut off by Xu Chaomu.

“I don’t consider you family, stingy ghost, childish ghost!” Xu Chaomu yelled at Shen Chi.
