If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 573: : The Pregnant Person Should Worry Less
Chapter 573 -573: The Pregnant Person Should Worry Less
The light in the study stretched his shadow long, very long…
Against the light, his tall figure seemed especially lonely. Under the illumination, dust particles danced through the air, and there he stood in silence, his gaze never straying from that road.
There were few people on that road, and the vehicles coming and going were also sparse.
Thus, when Yu Weiwei’s BMW drove out, it was particularly conspicuous.
From the moment the car entered his field of vision until it left, there were only five seconds.
From then on, separated by the ends of the earth, never to meet again.
Li Beiting’s face showed little emotion, only the depths of his eyes were as dark and deep as still waters, his black pupils slowly contracting, seemingly without end…
Throughout this time, Yu Weiwei never looked up to notice Li Beiting upstairs.
But, the very moment her car exited the Splendid World villa complex, she slammed on the brakes and cried out.
At first, it was just soft sobbing, but gradually, the crying grew louder and more intense, uncontrollable streams of tears flowing ceaselessly down.
She leaned over the steering wheel, burying her head deeply in her arms.
A sudden bout of discomfort gripped her heart, as if a stone were pressing down on her, leaving her gasping for breath.
The wind that evening was fierce, and the sky was densely covered with clouds, seemingly about to unleash rain.
Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere, she felt miserable, with tears continuously streaming down, dampening her arms and the collar of her shirt.
Her car sat quietly under a camphor tree, leaves fluttering down, carried by the wind to land in front of her vehicle.
She had just been chatting happily with Xu Chaomu, yet, for some reason, upon the sight of the Li Family mansion, her heart ached inexplicably.
Her whole heart seemed to twist tightly, as if a giant hand was clutching at her chest, slowly tightening its grip…
She covered her heart, but still, she couldn’t suppress the pain.
When they broke up three years ago, she hadn’t even cried like this.
Now, three years later, she wept until the sky and earth blurred.
The car remained parked by the side of the road for a long time before she slowly lifted her head.
Her makeup had smudged long before, and her eyes were swollen like two peaches.
She dried her tear-streaked face with a tissue, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away from the place along the outside road.
She opened the windows on both sides of the car, and as soon as she did, the gale came howling in from both sides, instantly tossing her hair into disarray.
There wasn’t such strong wind when she arrived that evening. Now, the wind swept through the fallen leaves, the leaves rustling against the ground, making a “shasha” sound.
It looked like it was going to rain.
The wind blew across her face, gradually drying the tear tracks. Her wildly beating heart was slowly calming down.
Just as she was halfway through her drive, suddenly, a bright flash of lightning streaked across the sky!
The lightning illuminated the entire expanse!
The sky, which had been dark moments before, lit up as bright as day in an instant!
Then, the thunder roared, booming loudly as if the heavens themselves had split apart.
The wild wind roared, branches bent under its force, and the only sounds were the rustling of leaves and the whooshing of the wind.
After that thunderclap, a torrential downpour fell as if from a great height, drenching the earth all at once!
Instantly, the rain curtain rose, billowing up mists of white vapor. Everything was engulfed in the rain and mist, the surroundings chaotically obscured.
Yu Weiwei pushed the accelerator down, driving fast through the sudden downpour.
The heavy rain lashed her car, streaming in through the windows.
Raindrops fell on her face, icy and chilling…just like knives, the wind scraped across her skin…
Rainwater fell on her face through the open windows, and Yu Weiwei sat as if she had lost all sensation, not even bothering to close them, letting the rain fill the car.
After all, when the heart turns to ashes, the entire world seems to lose color and sensation.
After seeing off Yu Weiwei, Xu Chaomu stood downstairs for a long while.
By then, the wind had risen, blowing against her, a bit cold.
As she hugged her arms and watched Yu Weiwei leave, a pair of warm hands embraced her waist from behind.
“It’s going to rain, come home with me,” Shen Chi said softly.
“I feel like Weiwei isn’t very happy,” Xu Chaomu tilted her small face up to look at Shen Chi.
“Don’t worry about it,” Shen Chi replied, devoid of any particular emotion.
“I wish I could be as cold-hearted and ruthless as you, but unfortunately, I can’t,” Xu Chaomu glared at him. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
“Pregnant people should worry less, otherwise, the child will come out frowning all day long.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop worrying. Cheer me up a bit, then,” Xu Chaomu’s mood was a bit down.
When she had chatted with Yu Weiwei earlier, she had always tried to make Yu Weiwei happy, but every time, although Yu Weiwei smiled, Xu Chaomu always felt that her smile was forced.
Five years later, Yu Weiwei had changed, becoming much quieter.
Why couldn’t such a good girl be cherished by someone…
“I’ll tell you a story…” someone’s face had a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
“No!” Xu Chaomu hastily stopped him, covering her ears, “I don’t want to listen…”
Previously, this man had told a story about a little white rabbit that was violent and explicit, and ever since then, she had been left with a mental scar from Shen Chi’s stories.
She definitely did not want to hear another story from Shen Chi.
“Then let’s go home and sleep.”
Shen Chi wrapped his arms around her waist, dragging her back into the house.
When the thunderous booms started, Xu Chaomu had just finished showering.
She toweled off her hair, wrapped in a bath towel and was about to grab her pajamas.
Suddenly, a clap of thunder sounded, and she squealed in fright, her hands trembling so much that she dropped her pajamas to the floor!
She had been afraid of thunder since she was a child, especially the startling ones at night.
She was so scared that she quickly squatted down, covering her ears with her hands, hiding in the corner.
“Mumu!”
Shen Chi, looking panicked, rushed over from the next room, forcefully bursting through the bathroom door!
His eyes immediately found Xu Chaomu squatting on the ground, her head buried between her knees, shivering in the corner.
Then another peal of thunder boomed, “Rumble”!
“Ah…” Xu Chaomu was so frightened she almost cried, her hands tightly covering her ears, her little face painted with panic as her shoulders trembled.
Shen Chi had a helpless expression on his face, finding the situation both frustrating and amusing.
Such a grown woman, still just like a child, afraid of thunder.
He hooked the corner of his lips into a half-smile and slowly walked towards her, squatting in front of her: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
His large hand scooped her up, helping her stand and enveloping her in his arms.
As soon as she grabbed onto Shen Chi, it was like she found a lifeline, and she refused to let go, her hands clutching his shirt collar tightly.
She was so frightened that tears came, so she took the opportunity to rub her face against his white shirt.
Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the roar of thunder.
But with Shen Chi there, she was no longer afraid, taking refuge in his embrace, motionless.
She was still wrapped in a bath towel, and as Shen Chi held her, he took the opportunity to wipe a little oil…
