If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Shen Di Returns
 

Xu Chaomu hadn’t even spoken when he continued, “So, I married you, do you think I’ve lost out or made a profit?”

“What do you think?” Xu Chaomu snorted coldly, countering his question.

“Of course I’ve made a profit, who else has a Mumu as smart and agile, cute and generous as mine?” Shen Chi raised an eyebrow and said.

Xu Chaomu knew this man was flattering her; he had recently honed his sweet talk to perfection.

Although she said nothing, her heart felt as if it had melted into honey.

It took ten minutes for the car to reach the airport.

By now, the day was fully bright, and the airport was bustling with people coming and going.

Shen Chi glanced at his wristwatch; perfect timing, Shen Di should be coming out soon.

He parked the car in the parking lot, holding Xu Chaomu’s hand in one hand and carrying gifts in the other, heading to the meeting spot they had agreed on.

Just as they reached a lawn, Shen Chi spotted several of the Shen family’s male servants waiting.

“Fourth young master, fourth young mistress, good morning,” the servants greeted them with a bow in unison.

Shen Chi handed the gifts to them and said indifferently, “Has the eldest miss not come out yet?”

“Not yet, fourth young master,” one servant replied respectfully.

“Hmm,” Shen Chi acknowledged with a sound.

Xu Chaomu’s hand was held by him, but her heart was aflutter, this being her first time meeting Shen Di.

Feeling the sweat on her palm, Shen Chi looked down and smiled, “Scared?”

“Scared of what, I’m excited,” Xu Chaomu refused to admit it.

Shen Chi curved the corner of his lips, looking at her.

Xu Chaomu in the morning sunlight was wearing a white dress, as elegantly pure as water, her beauty peaceful and mild. The light fell on her face, allowing him to see her long eyelashes glistening with the sun’s glow, fluttering slightly.

This serene and gentle Xu Chaomu compelled him to look a few times more.

It seemed that no matter what, as long as it was Xu Chaomu, he found her pleasing.

Shen Chi looked at his watch again, and after two minutes, suddenly, a figure in jewel blue appeared in his sight.

A tall woman with a bag on her back was walking towards them…

The woman’s black hair was all piled on top of her head, composed and dignified. As she walked, her jewel-blue long dress fluttered with the wind, the skirt swaying and creating a stunning vista.

There was a man by the woman’s side, taller than she. He wore a white shirt and followed the woman’s steps, staying by her side.

He pulled a suitcase, sometimes looking ahead, other times bending down to exchange a few words with the woman.

As they walked out of the airport and the sunlight poured down on them, from Xu Chaomu’s perspective, the pair looked like a perfect match.

Xu Chaomu had a strong premonition that this woman was Shen Chi’s sister, Shen Di.

Sure enough, as soon as the woman and the man walked out of the airport, the male servants advanced towards them.

Shen Chi also looked down at Xu Chaomu and asked, “See her?”

“I see her,” Xu Chaomu’s grip on Shen Chi tightened, afraid he would leave her behind.

Shen Chi led her toward Shen Di; as they drew closer, Xu Chaomu got a clear view of Shen Di.

Shen Di resembled Shen Chi somewhat in their facial features, very pretty, the kind one couldn’t forget at a glance.

If one word could describe Shen Di, it wouldn’t be bewitching or sexy but rather classy and dignified.

Shen Di’s lips curved into a gentle smile, carrying an innate likability.

“Achi.”

When they were still a distance away, Shen Di spotted Shen Chi first and called out his name.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Sis,” Shen Chi stepped forward.

Xu Chaomu followed close behind Shen Chi and, upon reaching Shen Di, called out “Sis” with a smile.

Shen Di’s gaze first fell on Xu Chaomu’s face before slowly shifting to the hands of Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu.

The two were holding hands, interlocked fingers, and Shen Di didn’t need to guess that this was Xu Chaomu.

This brother of hers had only ever been moved by one woman in his life.

“This must be Mumu, right? I’ve often heard Achi talk about you,” Shen Di said with a smile.

“Hello, sister, I am Xu Chaomu,” Xu Chaomu nodded, slightly embarrassed.

“Come, let me introduce you,” Shen Di pointed to the man by her side, “This is Qin Chen, my boyfriend.”

After the introduction, she turned to Qin Chen and said, “This is my fourth brother Achi, and this is his wife, Xu Chaomu.”

“Nice to meet you,” Qin Chen said with a smile, extending his hand.

Only then did Shen Chi let go of Xu Chaomu’s hand to shake Qin Chen’s hand.

Shen Chi had met Qin Chen before because Qin Chen was Shen Di’s family doctor, who had been taking care of her in Australia.

After Wen Zhiyuan returned from Australia five years ago, it had been Qin Chen who took over the position of Shen Di’s family doctor. Surprisingly, the current Qin Chen had become Shen Di’s boyfriend.

“It’s been so many years since I’ve been back, C City has changed a lot,” Shen Di remarked as she looked around.

The sunlight grew gradually stronger, and Shen Di squinted, surveying the scenery.

Qin Chen shielded her from the sun with his hand, whispering, “You shouldn’t be in the sun too long.”

“It’s okay, I haven’t been back in over a decade; let me take a longer look,” Shen Di replied with a smile.

Xu Chaomu took Shen Chi’s hand on her own initiative, still feeling a bit restrained.

“Sis, let’s go home,” Shen Chi said.

“Yeah, that’s good. There’s still some time before the wedding in Beiting; I’ll stay in C City in the meantime to have a good look around,” Shen Di responded.

When Shen Di smiled, Xu Chaomu noticed two shallow dimples, very pretty.

The servants carrying Shen Di’s luggage walked toward the parking lot, with Shen Di and Qin Chen accompanying Shen Chi.

“What about mom and dad?” Shen Di turned and asked.

“They’re on vacation abroad,” Shen Chi replied lightly.

He knew Shen Di would ask, and fortunately, he had prepared in advance.

Shen Di nodded, dropping the topic.

“Mumu, are you getting used to being with Achi?” Shen Di asked with a smile.

“Getting used to it. He’s quite good to me,” Xu Chaomu said.

No sooner had she spoken than Shen Chi glanced at her with lowered brows, pleased; she had said something he liked to hear.

“That’s good. If he dares to bully you, you tell me.”

“As if I’d dare to bully her,” Shen Chi responded with a laugh.

“Mumu, I heard you study design? I’ve just started designing a set of clothes myself; could you take a look when you have time?” Shen Di asked.

“Of course, but I’m not very skilled, so don’t laugh at me,” Xu Chaomu said.

She loved talking about design, and once they did, she felt the distance between her and Shen Di vanish.

“Mumu, come here, let’s walk together,” Shen Di beckoned to Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu shrugged her shoulders at Shen Chi, let go of his hand, and walked over to Shen Di’s side.

The two men sighed helplessly and trailed along side by side.

Shen Di and Xu Chaomu chatted about clothes and Shen Chi for a bit, quickly becoming familiar with each other.

As for the two men walking together, it was quite dull, speaking only sporadically.
