If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 848: Chapter 848: Never Come Out to Plague the World Again Chapter 848 -848: Never Come Out to Plague the World Again “Not at all, you flatter me; my name is Linda,” Linda said modestly.

The two shook hands, and then Bai Man approached Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu also extended her hand “friendly” in such an occasion, she could only pretend not to know Bai Man.

“And this lady is…?” Bai Man asked, looking at Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu smiled, “My name is Xu Chaomu; I’ve just joined Shen Group.”

“Oh, I thought so. You’re quite young, and pretty too,” Bai Man said with a smile.

Xu Chaomu curved her lips into a smile. Five years later, Bai Man’s acting was still so outstanding. Five years ago, she deceived her with the pregnancy, and now, she couldn’t believe they were pretending not to know each other.

They not only knew each other but were very familiar indeed.

“Thank you for the compliment, Miss Bai,” Xu Chaomu maintained a proper smile.

“Miss Xu, please take a seat. I see you’re pregnant, how many months now? Don’t overexert yourself,” Bai Man supported Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu truly didn’t know whether Bai Man had turned over a new leaf after five years or just become better at hiding.

“Over six months now, it’s okay, Miss Bai, please take a seat as well,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently, never showing much emotion.

Bai Man sat down right next to Xu Chaomu, and the three of them chatted casually in the lounge for a while.

Linda and Bai Man talked more, while Xu Chaomu kept her head down drinking tea, listening to their conversation.

Sometimes Xu Chaomu would look up at Bai Man, feeling as if they belonged to two different worlds. It had been a full five years since they last saw each other.

The events from five years ago were still crystal clear, as if they had happened only yesterday.

Five years on, she was with Shen Chi, and Bai Man had her own boyfriend, but Xu Chaomu didn’t know whether Bai Man harbored any other motives.

At one point, Linda went to the restroom, leaving only Bai Man and Xu Chaomu in the lounge.

The atmosphere turned somewhat cool, just like the weather outside.

“Xu Chaomu,” Bai Man called her in a dull voice, the warm smile on her face receding.

“Is there something you want to say?” Xu Chaomu asked flatly.

“Today, you’ve finally got what you wished for,” Bai Man said. “You married Shen Chi and became the highly sought-after Mrs. Shen. Quite the spectacle.”

“I married Shen Chi because I love him, even if I weren’t the wife of a business tycoon, a CEO’s wife,” Xu Chaomu frowned and said.

“Well, I was quite in love with him, too. What should I do about that?” Bai Man asked, looking at Xu Chaomu, smiling.

“What do you mean?” Xu Chaomu looked at her.

“Seeing how nervous you are, afraid that someone will snatch your Mr. Shen away. It’s been five years; I’ve long since stopped liking him. My current boyfriend, in every aspect, is no less than Shen Chi. I, Bai Man, would not stoop to being a third party like you did.”

“Bai Man, I’m not interested in sparring with you verbally here,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.

“Is that so? Why such a bad attitude?” Bai Man chuckled. “Then let me add one more thing: a marriage that isn’t blessed will not be happy. I’m talking about you.”

Xu Chaomu didn’t have the energy to argue with her there, and she simply reached out and picked up the teacup at her side.

With a “whoosh,” she poured all the tea from the cup onto Bai Man!

The tea was aimed at Bai Man’s neck as she poured; Xu Chaomu was utterly composed, very calm.

The green tea flowed down Bai Man’s neck, some droplets splashed onto her face, ruining her makeup, and most of the tea soaked into her clothes!

“Xu Chaomu!” Bai Man suddenly lost her composure and shouted.

The tea was still very hot, and she jumped up in an instant! No longer did she possess her earlier grace and poise!

“Miss Bai,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently, “this cup of tea was spilled because of your rude remarks I hope I don’t hear them a second time.”

“Xu Chaomu…” Bai Man truly hadn’t expected Xu Chaomu, that girl, to actually dare to splash her with boiling water.

She had no time to talk to Xu Chaomu, as she hurriedly took a tissue and wiped the tea off her body.

It was too hot, and she gasped from the scalding sensation.

“I hope you go back to Washington, grow old with your boyfriend, and not come out to bring disaster upon the world again,” Xu Chaomu continued.

She had already stood up, fearing Bai Man might suddenly make some ill-advised move, she stepped back a few steps, seeking a position where she could protect herself.

“Xu Chaomu, what did I say? Since I didn’t say anything, yet you’re so uncultured and agitated, it must have struck a nerve, didn’t it?” Bai Man exploded, “Does anyone bless your marriage?”

Bai Man sneered, her angry eyes fixed on Xu Chaomu.

Five years later, her disheveled state once again presented itself before Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu wasn’t afraid of her, but the coldness in Bai Man’s eyes inexplicably made her heart tremble.

In the past, she wouldn’t have been afraid of Bai Man, but now it was different; she had a baby to think about.

At such a time, Xu Chaomu wasn’t going to compete with her in strength; she picked up her phone and dialed Shen Chi’s number.

Shen Chi was probably too busy, and his phone had been given to Xiao Mo.

After the call connected, Xu Chaomu didn’t speak, simply maintaining the call.

Xiao Mo couldn’t hear any sound from the other end, and a few seconds later, he pressed disconnect and headed straight for the break room.

Just then, Linda pushed the door and entered, accompanied by Bai Man’s boyfriend, Gu Xiuting.

“Manman!” Gu Xiuting saw Bai Man drenched and hurried over anxiously.

“Manman, what happened? Why are you all wet?” Gu Xiuting wrapped his arms around Bai Man, wiping her with a tissue.

“Achoo.” Bai Man sneezed, her nose tingled, and she threw herself into Gu Xiuting’s embrace.

“It’s nothing, I accidentally spilled the tea on myself. It’s fine, achoo…” Bai Man shivered from the cold.

The hot water on her body had evaporated, turning into icy cold droplets, clinging stickily to her.

“Accidentally spilled on yourself? How could that be. Manman, are you saying I have no common sense?” Gu Xiuting said coldly.

After speaking, Gu Xiuting shot a cold glance at Xu Chaomu standing beside the table.

Xu Chaomu’s expression remained composed and calm, yes, it was her who had spilled it, and since it was already spilled, it was spilled.

Gu Xiuting instantly understood what had happened, and he left Bai Man to stride towards Xu Chaomu.

Linda didn’t understand what was happening, standing at the door, her mind racing.

“Xiuting, it’s fine, go get me some clothes, I’ll change in the restroom,” Bai Man tried to stop him.

“Was it you who spilled it on Manman?” Gu Xiuting asked Xu Chaomu coldly.

“I admit it,” Xu Chaomu didn’t dodge.

Gu Xiuting was taller than Xu Chaomu, standing in front of her, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Gu Xiuting’s face was stern, he raised his hand, aiming a slap at Xu Chaomu’s face.

But at that moment, like a swift gust of wind, just as Gu Xiuting’s arm was raised mid-air, it was caught by an even stronger hand grasping his wrist!

Xu Chaomu thought the slap was about to land on her face, and she nearly closed her eyes.
