If You Could Hear My Heart - Chapter 635

Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Your Baby Will Definitely Not Learn Well
 

Tonight, Mi Fei was especially beautiful, wearing a light yellow off-the-shoulder dress with her long black hair pulled up at the back of her head, and pearl drop earrings gently swaying in her ears.

Under the lighting, the rhinestones on her dress sparkled with dazzling brilliance; she was the most beautiful leading lady of the evening.

At first, she chatted with several ladies, but once Li Beiting came over, she latched onto his arm.

Though it was just an engagement party, the Li Family’s arrangement was still grandiose.

Shen Chi sat to the side, composed and silent, merely watching Li Beiting.

Li Beiting was busy, constantly occupied with entertaining the guests, and didn’t have time to exchange more than a few words with him.

Shen Chi saw that Shen Shihan and Mo Shuifu had also arrived.

Mo Shuifu, with her arm looped through Shen Shihan’s, had a serene smile, while Shen Shihan maintained his perennial iceberg expression, though his facial contours seemed much softer.

Shen Di and Qin Chen sat to one side, and although Wen Zhiyuan was also there, he sat quite far away.

At times like this, Shen Chi really wanted to drag Xu Chaomu back.

During the banquet, someone invited Shen Chi to dance, but he declined politely, choosing to sit alone and quietly drink.

The atmosphere of the engagement banquet was subtle, but in the hot pot restaurant, Xu Chaomu and Yu Weiwei were quite happy.

After finishing their spicy hot pot, they coincidentally ran into Nie Chenglang on the street.

“Chenglang!” Xu Chaomu saw him first and waved to him.

Nie Chenglang was out for a walk and hadn’t expected to encounter Xu Chaomu and Yu Weiwei.

“What a coincidence, are you out for dinner?” Nie Chenglang walked over.

“Yeah, the unfortunate part is, we just finished eating,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

“That is quite unfortunate; otherwise, I could’ve freeloaded a dinner.”

Yu Weiwei, standing by, suggested, “Why don’t you join us for a drink then? There’s a small bar nearby. Although it’s small, both the environment and the drinks are great!”

Xu Chaomu hurriedly interjected, “Weiwei, the doctor said you absolutely can’t drink lately.”

“It’s okay, it’s such a rare chance to see Mr. Nie again, I’ll just drink a little bit, just a bit…” Yu Weiwei squinted her eyes.

“How much is ‘just a bit’?” Xu Chaomu looked at her skeptically, not convinced.

“Just a bit is simply that—I’ll show you later when we drink,” Yu Weiwei said. “Alright, let’s go, it’s my treat.”

With that said, Yu Weiwei started pulling Xu Chaomu by the hand and moved forward without further discussion.

Nie Chenglang said, “It’s better to drink less at night.”

“Mr. Nie, if we get drunk, will you take us home?” Yu Weiwei asked with a smile.

“Of course, I can take you home,” Nie Chenglang replied with a laugh.

Xu Chaomu immediately slapped Yu Weiwei’s arm and said firmly, “No getting drunk! No getting drunk! No getting drunk! Important things must be said three times!”

Yu Weiwei surrendered and chuckled, “If I do get drunk, I’ll take your last name.”

“Who wants you to take my last name,” Xu Chaomu pouted, “you’re not my daughter.”

Yu Weiwei pulled her toward the nearby bar, with Nie Chenglang following close behind them.

Having not seen her for many days, Nie Chenglang noticed that Yu Weiwei’s mood was quite good. Of course, Xu Chaomu was also in a good mood.

His gaze always rested on Xu Chaomu; since returning to the country, he could count on one hand the number of times he had seen her.

He just hoped Shen Chi would treat her well and let her remain the carefree Xu Chaomu she was.

However… his brows knitted when he noticed the slight bulge in Xu Chaomu’s abdomen.

He didn’t hope that in the future, this child would be the cause of discord between Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu.

They hadn’t walked far when Yu Weiwei pointed to a bar and said, looking up, “There, that’s the one, not bad, right?”

You can’t hear much noise outside the bar, only the orange light that pours onto the ground like a gently flowing stream.

Atop the bar, there’s a large sign that’s hard to tell whether it’s a cat or a bear.

This small bar indeed has a nice atmosphere, with several servers standing at the entrance. Looking in from the door, the light inside is dim, but one can see the orderly and tasteful arrangement.

Yu Weiwei, dragging Xu Chaomu, walked in and greeted the owner, “Hey, Jack, I’m back. Got any pretty girls today?”

“Oh, it’s Weiwei. No pretty girls, but there are some handsome new guys,” said the young owner. “Yo, brought a friend today?”

Xu Chaomu saw that the owner was quite handsome, seemingly mixed-race, with earphones stuffed in his ears, listening to music while mixing drinks.

“Handsome guys? Then I’ll have to see just how handsome they are,” Weiwei laughed.

“All right, the usual spot, I’ll bring your drink,” the owner said.

Xu Chaomu tugged at Yu Weiwei’s sleeve and whispered, “I couldn’t tell, do you come here to drink often?”

“That’s why my tolerance is so good.”

“Who was it that ended up in the hospital from drinking the other night?” Xu Chaomu said with disdain.

“Who was it? Who?” Yu Weiwei sneered and laughed.

Nie Chenglang watched them chat. He’d chime in occasionally, but it was mostly the two girls talking.

Xu Chaomu really felt for Yu Weiwei, especially today… since it was the day Li Beiting got engaged.

Originally, she didn’t want Yu Weiwei to drink, but thinking of this, she decided to let the girl drink after all…

After drinking, one temporarily forgets everything.

When daylight breaks, it’s a new day.

Upon entering the bar, Yu Weiwei confidently poured a drink for Nie Chenglang, casting a sympathetic glance at Xu Chaomu.

“You can’t drink,” Yu Weiwei shook her head, “what a pity, the drinks here are really great.”

“Weiwei!” Xu Chaomu shouted at Yu Weiwei, “Do you think you might corrupt my baby?!”

The noise in the bar was too loud, so Yu Weiwei pretended not to hear, “What’d you say?”

“Will my baby get corrupted by your bad influence?”

“Don’t worry, with you as a mom, your baby is sure not to turn out well.”

“…” Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched. Did she really come across as a bad student?

“Mr. Nie, let’s drink, ignore Chaomu. Let her go play with her baby,” said Weiwei, raising her glass.

Nie Chenglang smiled and also lifted his glass, gently clinking it against hers, “Just call me Chenglang.”

“Right, right, Chenglang,” Yu Weiwei laughed.

Nie Chenglang only took a sip, but Yu Weiwei downed hers in one go.

She watched people dancing in the dance floor while pouring herself another glass.

With a glass of alcohol down, her whole body seemed to light up, her face immediately reddening.

“Weiwei, you can’t drink like that, downing it too quickly is harmful to your health,” Nie Chenglang held back Yu Weiwei’s hand.

Xu Chaomu also advised, “Look at you, when did you become such a drinker? Loving alcohol this much, you’re not allowed to drink anymore!”

Xu Chaomu took the glass from her hand, this was unacceptable – she had just drunk a whole glass upon arriving.

“Xu Chaomu, give me the glass. If you don’t, I’ll call your husband and tell him you’re in a bar,” Yu Weiwei threatened.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chaomu wasn’t affected much, but a slight frown appeared between Nie Chenglang’s eyebrows.

Yes, now Shen Chi is her husband.
