If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Buy a plane ticket to return to the country, immediately
 

That night, Shen Chi did not sleep well, as his mind was filled with thoughts of Xu Chaomu.

He did not know when it started, but his heart was consumed by this Little Fairy, and he wished he could see her every day.

He had always put his career first, never allowing himself to be distracted during work, but now, he simply couldn’t manage it.

All he could think about was the Little Fairy, even in his sleep, she was on his mind.

He missed her scent, the feeling of holding her while sleeping, missed her wrapping her arms around his neck and calling him “Fourth Brother”…

Tossing and turning, he was sleepless all night.

In the morning, when he sobered up a bit, he called the servant at Waterside Pavilion.

“Fourth Young Master.”

“Where is the Fourth Young Madam?”

“To answer the Fourth Young Master, she is at home.”

“How has she been these past few days?” Shen Chi asked.

“Quite… good,” the servant said, her voice trailing off.

“Tell the truth!” Shen Chi commanded sharply.

He detected the evasion in the servant’s tone and knew she was lying!

The young servant was startled, her hand shaking as she held the phone. She had no choice but to tell the truth: “To answer the Fourth Young Master, I didn’t dare speak much with the Fourth Young Madam; she seems to have been rather down lately.”

“Be more specific!”

“It’s… it’s… Fourth Young Master,” the young servant said, “For these past few days, Fourth Young Madam has been returning to Waterside Pavilion, but her mood hasn’t been very good. Once, I saw… the face of the Fourth Young Madam…”

The young servant hesitated again. Should she say it?

The butler had told them to say what should be said and not to speak out of turn.

So was this something she should speak of or not?

“Spit it out, quickly!” Shen Chi barked.

“I’ll, I’ll say it,” the young servant stuttered, a little scared of Shen Chi, “One day, I saw the Fourth Young Madam return with a handprint on her face, as if she had been slapped by someone.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chi’s blood boiled with rage?

Who dared to hit Xu Chaomu?

He had never allowed himself to strike her once!

His eyes instantly reddened, and he clenched his fists!

“Continue!” He suppressed his anger and growled.

The young servant was frightened, trembling as she spoke, “Fourth Young Master… then… it’s… the Fourth Young Madam has been very downhearted… and these past few days when I tried to speak with her, she hardly responds, I don’t know what’s happened… Yesterday… Fourth Young Madam sat in the nursery all night, and I… I didn’t dare disturb her.”

The young servant had a fragile mental state, and when Shen Chi yelled at her, she almost cried.

Shen Chi’s eyes sharpened with a sudden chill. Who had been bullying Xu Chaomu?

At that moment, his whole body emanated a fierce coldness, and he wished he could immediately return to his home country!

“Fourth Young Master… that’s… everything…” the young servant continued, “Also, the Fourth Young Madam has been eating very little. Each time I ask her to eat more, she says she can’t…”

“Where is she now?”

“She is still sleeping in the bedroom,” the young servant replied.

Shen Chi looked at his wristwatch; it was six in the morning in Washington, which meant it was two in the afternoon back home.

Xu Chaomu was still taking a nap?

“I understand!”

Without waiting for the servant to say another word, Shen Chi immediately called his secretary.

“Book a flight back home, right now!”

The secretary, still half asleep and not understanding the reason, promptly responded, “Okay, I’m booking it right now.”

At that moment, Shen Chi’s whole body seethed with boiling blood, and a torrent of anger raged within him!

Someone actually dared to hit Xu Chaomu!

He stood in front of the window, agitatedly lighting a cigarette.

Who dared to hit Xu Chaomu, that girl?

If it had been an average person, she probably wouldn’t have let it slide, which means it wasn’t an ordinary person.

With this thought, his brows furrowed deeply!

Perhaps… she had a conflict with his parents?

Aside from them, he could think of no one else.

Last time, when he was away on a business trip, his parents pressured Xu Chaomu to sign a divorce agreement. So, with him gone this time, did they press her again?!

The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became; Shen Chi abruptly stubbed out his cigarette and strode out of the manor!

A driver was waiting outside; Shen Chi walked over, got into the car, and commanded coldly, “To the airport!”

“Yes, President Shen.”

The driver hurriedly started the car, not daring to ask any questions, and drove Shen Chi directly to the airport.

Back in his home country.

Xu Chaomu had taken a nap and felt as if she had forgotten many things.

She felt much more relaxed and looked out the window to see it was a beautiful, clear day.

The noon sun was glaring, and as she looked out the window while sitting on the bed, she remained silent.

After sitting for a while, she slowly got out of bed.

There was not much to do at Waterside Pavilion, so she took her baby to the piano room and played the piano by herself.

It had been a long time since she played, and her hands were stiff. After practicing for a while, she began to regain a bit of her touch.

But after playing the piano for a while, she sat by the window and spaced out.

The afternoon was filled with a lazy atmosphere; the green leaves drooped, hanging motionlessly from the branches. The birds hid in the woods for shade, and all was quiet.

Xu Chaomu opened the window, inhaling the sweet scent of late summer, silently observing everything outside.

Unconsciously, an afternoon had passed.

She was in a fairly good mood today, and had a bit more to eat at dinner.

Seeing her in good spirits, the servants also breathed a sigh of relief.

During dinner, she found herself missing Shen Chi terribly, longing for how he used to serve her food.

Even though there were always servants standing by during meals, since she insisted that he serve her when she was a child, he would often do it for her.

His serving her had its benefits – she would also proactively serve him in return.

But now, he was not here.

Throughout the meal, all she could think about was him.

This longing was too troubling, and unable to suppress it, she called his phone.

However, to her surprise, his phone was turned off.

Xu Chaomu calculated the time; it was the middle of the night in Washington. How could she have forgotten this?

With a resigned smile, she put down the phone.

As she sat on the sofa watching TV, suddenly, she heard loud noises coming from outside!

The young servants seemed to have heard it too, looking at each other with concern.

“What’s happened?” Xu Chaomu asked as she stood up, puzzled.

“I don’t know, I’ll go look,” a male servant said.

After speaking, the man walked to the door!

But before his hand could reach to open the main door, suddenly, it was violently kicked open!

Xu Chaomu jumped in fright, and before she could react, a group of men in black suits swarmed the living room.

There were many of them, at least a dozen!

All in black suits, tall and stalwart, they were either thugs or bodyguards.

Xu Chaomu was a bit scared; standing next to the sofa, she had nowhere to retreat to, as they had already surrounded her in the middle.
