If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 833 - Who Cares About You If I Don’t
Chapter 833: Chapter 833 Who Cares About You If I Don’t
She slept so peacefully, her little face radiant with satisfaction as she clutched the corner of the blanket, sleeping soundly.
Shen Chi knew that once she fell into a deep sleep, she was like a pet pig.
He helplessly tucked her in and then lay down beside her.
In the past, she would have nightmares at night, but now, he hoped that every day he was by her side, she would fall asleep peacefully.
Turning off the light, darkness and tranquility enveloped the room.
…
When the trade fair arrived, it was already November.
The temperature in C City dropped suddenly in November. After a rain shower, the north wind howled, and a chill pervaded everything around.
It seemed as if overnight, we transitioned from autumn to winter.
That night, there was a heavy rain, and when she woke up the next morning, everything on the ground was damp. Amidst the north wind, the green grass had turned yellow, and on this yellowing, traces of white frost could be seen.
The leaves of the trees had almost completely fallen, with only a few withering leaves clinging to the branches. The wind made them sway incessantly as if they would fall to the ground at any moment.
When the rain stopped, the sun rose from the east.
Sunlight shone on the ground, and the dew on the branches glistened, refracting a rainbow of colors. Yet, once the wind blew, the colorful dewdrops would tremble and fall from the branches.
Despite being late autumn, when the morning sun appeared, life still seemed vibrant everywhere.
Xu Chaomu woke up that morning, turned over, and saw the sunlight streaming through gaps in the curtains onto the bedroom carpet.
Shen Chi had already gone to the company. Xu Chaomu cuddled up in the blanket, wanting to stay in bed.
When it was cold, the bed was the warmest place, perfect for sleeping in.
She turned to look at her phone; it was just eight o’clock, she could sleep some more.
The pillow seemed to still carry Shen Chi’s faint scent of herbs, and she closed her eyes contentedly while hugging the blanket.
But just as she was about to indulge in a bit more sleep, her phone rang.
“Hello…” she mumbled as she groggily picked up the phone and brought it to her ear.
“Not up yet?” Shen Chi said coolly.
“It’s just past eight… it looks so cold outside… I want to sleep in…” Xu Chaomu murmured.
“Get up early, have breakfast, go for a walk, don’t stay in bed,” Shen Chi said sternly.
“I want to sleep…” Xu Chaomu protested.
“I’ll send someone up to call you.”
“Tyrant… you even control this… I won’t get up, won’t get up…” Xu Chaomu grumbled discontentedly.
“If I don’t take care of you, who will?”
If he stopped looking after her she’d be completely out of control. At the Shen Family’s house, anyway, no one dared to boss her around anymore.
As a pregnant woman, of course, she needed to get up early for breakfast and exercise. She couldn’t miss any of the three daily meals.
“Hello… Shen Chi…” Xu Chaomu wanted to say more, but Shen Chi had already hung up the phone.
Really, he should be working instead of fussing over her.
Ever since Shen Chi started managing her, she’d rarely been able to sleep in, always hearing him say that pregnant women can’t be lazy if they want to give birth to healthy children.
He even bought a bunch of books for expectant mothers, although Xu Chaomu couldn’t be bothered to read them—it was him who would read a little every day.
Whenever he came across something important, he would repeat it to her several times, never finding it bothersome himself.
Xu Chaomu, however, was already tired of it. Wasn’t this man usually aloof and terse? Besides, with his busy work schedule, he still found time to read these things.
Laying her phone down, Xu Chaomu just couldn’t part with the cozy warmth of her bed and snuggled back into the blankets to sleep.

But Shen Chi really did call the servant!
Less than a minute passed before a servant knocked on her door.
“Fourth Young Madam, it’s time to get up; breakfast is ready.”
Xu Chaomu covered herself with the quilt, not wanting to pay attention.
“Fourth Young Madam.”
If she ignored them, these people would take turns calling her to get up, and she couldn’t sleep in at all!
Having no choice, she tousled her hair and called out, “I know, I know; you all go down, I’ll be right there.”
“Okay, Fourth Young Madam, we’ll wait for you downstairs.”
Xu Chaomu had no recourse; with their disturbance, she was basically wide awake and had to obediently get dressed and get out of bed.
As she went to the window to draw back the curtains, she saw a layer of light moisture on the windowpane.
When she opened the window, a gust of cold air blew in from outside.
“Achoo.” She couldn’t help but sneeze and quickly closed the window again.
The temperature was dropping, and to avoid catching a cold, she had to wrap herself up tightly.
She picked out a rather thick black sweater and put on a long overcoat on top of it.
Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at her reflection; the little one was almost seven months along now. The baby must be well-nourished, growing plumply, as her belly was already round and bulging.
By the time she went downstairs, breakfast was all prepared; Xu Chaomu heard that it was specially arranged by a nutrition expert on Shen Chi’s request.
The three meals a day were never the same, yet each was always nutritious.
Xu Chaomu wasn’t picky; she sat down and slowly enjoyed her breakfast.
She sent Yu Weiwei a message, asking her to come over to the Shen Family to hang out.
It had been a long time since she visited Yu Weiwei, who, ever since she started living with Li Beiting, had been so taken with her love life that she seldom reached out anymore.
Upon receiving Xu Chaomu’s text, Yu Weiwei happily agreed; it had also been many days since she last saw Xu Chaomu.
She said to Li Beiting, “Beiting, work hard. I’m going to hang out with Chaomu. Don’t slack off, or I’ll dock your pay.”
Li Beiting gave her a disdainful look, “Do you think I care about a salary of five thousand yuan?”
“Oh come on, don’t talk like that. Work hard, and your raise will come soon, very soon,” coaxed Yu Weiwei.
“Yeah, when monkeys might fly out of my butt,” Li Beiting said with a roll of his eyes.
Yu Weiwei laughed, blew him a kiss at the door, “Honey, I won’t be back for lunch. Remember to make dinner tonight, love you.”
“Me again? Didn’t I say we should hire a maid?” Li Beiting looked utterly pained.
“Does your monthly salary have enough to hire a maid? I don’t think so. Stop daydreaming. Remember to make dinner tonight; I want to have fish soup.”
“Got it, just remember to come back,” Li Beiting sighed, hand on his forehead.
“Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you. If I really decide to leave you, I’ll notify you in advance.”
“…” Li Beiting, hand still on his forehead, said, “Just hurry up and go.”
After speaking, Yu Weiwei made a funny face at him and jovially left the research institute.
She didn’t plan to drive, instead taking a taxi to the Splendid World complex.
She was quite familiar with that area and knew where the Shen Family was located.
But equally, she was aware that the Li Family was not far from the Shen Family, so she deliberately avoided the Li Family’s location and took a sidestreet toward the Shen Family’s house.
Ever since the wedding fiasco, Li Beiting had not returned to the Li Family. He really left without taking anything from them.
Li Beiting’s father and mother were so angry they hadn’t seen him since, nor had they called him.
