If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 383 - : I’m Not Worthy of Him
Chapter 383: Chapter 383: I’m Not Worthy of Him
“After visiting the hospital, will you walk with me? I haven’t gone for a stroll in a long time. Just like in Paris, you’ll recite poetry to me.”
“Anything for you, and I’ll buy you delicious food, right?” Nie Chenglang laughed.
“Exactly, that’s the main point.” Xu Chaomu giggled secretly.
Nie Chenglang wrapped his arm around Xu Chaomu’s shoulder and walked toward his Cayenne, but the situation seemed off to the butler, who hurried out.
“Chaomu, weren’t you going to the hospital?”
Xu Chaomu looked back, “Yes, I’m going with my Chenglang. With him by my side, you can rest easy, Butler Ling.”
“It would be better if Xiaogao took you. Look, he’s got the car ready. Oh, I also called Fourth Young Master just now; he said he’s going to the hospital later as well.”
“Butler Ling, it’s fine with Chenglang accompanying me.”
“Well… I’m afraid I can’t explain this to Fourth Young Master,” Butler Ling said bluntly.
Nie Chenglang frowned and asked Xu Chaomu, “This person is…?”
“She’s the butler of the Shen Family… the Shen Family… Consider it my maternal home,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.
“Hello,” Nie Chenglang extended his hand politely.
Butler Ling had no choice but to shake hands with Nie Chenglang. But Xu Chaomu’s phrase “the Shen Family is considered my maternal home” puzzled her—clearly, the Shen Family was Xu Chaomu’s husband’s family.
“Butler Ling, there is no need to worry about explaining anything. If Shen Chi speaks with reason, he wouldn’t make it difficult for you,” Xu Chaomu said.
Butler Ling was at a loss for words. When it came to Xu Chaomu’s affairs, Shen Chi had always been unreasonable.
“Butler Ling, Chenglang and I are leaving now. If there’s nothing important, I might not come back.”
“Chaomu, that won’t do. You can go to the hospital with Mr. Nie, but you must come back. Otherwise, Fourth Young Master will flay my skin.”
“Butler Ling, I believe he is reasonable. Yes, I believe in him,” Xu Chaomu pulled a face while saying this and walked off with Nie Chenglang.
“Chaomu!”
Butler Ling couldn’t persuade her; it’s true what they say, when kids grow up, they do as they please.
Once they got into Nie Chenglang’s Cayenne, the driver immediately turned the car around and drove out of the splendid estate.
Nie Chenglang and Xu Chaomu sat in the back, side by side, just like in Paris.
Back in Paris, Nie Chenglang often asked the driver to take them out for a ride. At that time, they would sit together, side by side, chatting.
Nie Chenglang was very familiar with Paris and would tell her many interesting customs. Sometimes, he would even bring his own homemade gourmet food, and they’d find a lawn, bask in the sun, and enjoy the meal together.
Those five years, Xu Chaomu was really very happy. That kind of carefree feeling, completely without any burden.

Meeting Nie Chenglang was probably the biggest stroke of luck in those five years, treating her meticulously like a brother would.
Perhaps, she could slowly forget certain people and then, gradually, let others take their place in her heart.
But, five years have passed—has she done it?
“Chaomu, tell me the truth, how has Shen Chi been treating you these past few days?”
“He’s just his usual self,” Xu Chaomu responded blandly.
Dominant, arrogant, unreasonable.
“Have you got a marriage certificate with him?”
“Hm?” Xu Chaomu turned her head, surprised that Nie Chenglang already knew. Had Shen Chi called him or even met him?
“I did get a marriage certificate with him, but it was completely without my knowledge, involving significant deceit.”
“What are you planning to do?” Nie Chenglang sighed, showing no signs of blaming her.
“I can’t be at ease being with him, and besides, I’m not worthy of him. I would only burden his career and his family.”
Five years ago, Zhou Peitian had kidnapped her to threaten Shen Chi; five years later, who knows if there will be ten or twenty Zhou Peitians.
Shen Chi was ruthless in the business world, but with her around, he always had to hold back against his opponents.
Not marrying him is for the best—for everyone.
“Chenglang, I need to ask you something. That night at the Grand Hotel in Paris, when I was negotiating a contract with our partner and later got completely drunk… tell me honestly, was it you that night?”
“Why would you doubt that? I’m sorry, I was the one who got drunk that night, so…” Nie Chenglang’s hand landed on Xu Chaomu’s head.
In truth, he wasn’t the one who entered Xu Chaomu’s room that night at all, but he didn’t know who it was. When he pushed the door open, only Xu Chaomu was left on the bed.
But if he told Xu Chaomu the truth, it would hurt her, wouldn’t it…
Besides, after those five years of being together day and night, he didn’t know exactly when he had fallen for her…
He loved her.
Maybe… it started back in the orphanage?
“You’re not lying to me, are you?” Xu Chaomu still didn’t believe him.
The scent on Nie Chenglang was a faint aroma of green tea, starkly different from that of the man that night. That scent was identical to Shen Chi’s. And coincidentally, Shen Chi also happened to be at the Grand Hotel in Paris that night.
What are the odds of such a coincidence?
“Why would I lie to you,” Nie Chenglang stroked her head, not wanting to see her sad.
It didn’t matter to him who she first became intimate with; he was willing to treat her well regardless.
Xu Chaomu fell silent. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Nie Chenglang.
“Chaomu, stop overthinking and try to relax. By the way, how’s your appetite these days? If you’re not keen on eating, I can cook for you.”
“Chenglang, it’s been quite good. So, after we go to the hospital, make me some tomato sauce steak. Yours is the tastiest.” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
“Alright, I’ll cook it for you. That’s also a chance for the baby to taste my cooking.”
Xu Chaomu smiled; she wanted to forget the unpleasant things for the time being.
“Also, Chaomu, Wealth hasn’t seen you for many days now and misses you a lot,” Nie Chenglang said.
“I miss it too, but unfortunately, I can’t play with it now that I’m pregnant,” Xu Chaomu felt a bit sad.
Wealth, that little dog, was very clingy, unlike Dabai at all.
Dabai, the dog, was cold towards everyone, just like Shen Chi. But Wealth was different; the little dog was not only affectionate but also likable, always eager to nuzzle anyone it saw.
Xu Chaomu thought it would be fun to put Wealth and Dabai together.
“Well, you’re pregnant, so it’s better to stay away from animals for the time being. You can accompany it some other time,” Nie Chenglang said.
“Wealth, the little fellow, has been with me for a year and is still the size of Douding no matter how much I feed it—it just won’t grow,” Xu Chaomu laughed.
“Exactly, I feed it everything and it never gains weight, but being small is also cute.”
“Now you say it, I really want to see it, and hug it,” she said.
“We’ll visit it after the hospital, and I’ll make tomato sauce steak for you—and bring a portion for it too.”
“Chenglang, you’re treating me just like a little dog,” Xu Chaomu laughed.
“Aren’t you my little dog?” Nie Chenglang laughed heartily, pulling her close.
