If You Could Hear My Heart - Chapter 498

Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Turn Yourself In
Many times, it wasn’t that she was heartless, but that she didn’t want to see him fall into trouble.

Perhaps there was some hatred five years ago, but after getting married, she had been trying to accept him.

She wanted him to be well and perhaps, they could even live together happily.

She kept walking along the road, and as she walked, her heart remained uneasy.

Halfway down the road, a Ferrari pulled up beside her.

She immediately stopped in her tracks, knowing without looking that this was Shen Shihan’s car.

Her twisting hands involuntarily paused; he had caught up to her after all.

The black car window slowly rolled down, revealing the man in the driver’s seat with a stern expression, his face cold and forbidding.

His sharp eyes fixed on the windshield, his dark pupils filled with a chill and wild pride.

When the window was fully down, his tightly pursed lips coldly spat out two words, “Get in.”

The icy voice reached Mo Shuifu’s ears, making her feel as if she were in the dead of winter.

She slowly turned around to face him.

His profile under the sunlight was menacing.

She couldn’t refuse him. She opened the passenger door and slowly sat down.

After she buckled her seatbelt, Shen Shihan stepped on the gas pedal and drove forward.

Neither of them spoke, and Mo Shuifu’s heart pounded erratically.

Shen Shihan was silent too, but coldness radiated from him.

A long time passed before Shen Shihan finally moved his lips.

“Did you hear everything?”

Mo Shuifu turned her head, glanced at him, her face somewhat blank.

“What?” she asked faintly.

Shen Shihan snorted coldly, not speaking, but the chill in his eyes intensified.

“I didn’t hear anything,” Mo Shuifu stated truthfully.

Her intuition grew stronger, certain it wasn’t something good. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be afraid of her hearing it.

“Is that so?” Shen Shihan asked coldly, scoffing, clearly disbelieving.

“Believe it or not, I really didn’t hear anything.”

“Then why don’t you tell me what you did hear?” Shen Shihan countered.

“It’s something about you having a shipment coming in,” Mo Shuifu knew she couldn’t hide it.

“And then?”

“Then, you don’t seem to want Shen Chi to find out,” Mo Shuifu continued.

Shen Shihan snorted again, his tone unfriendly, and coldly said, “Go and tell him then.”

“What exactly are you transporting that you can’t let Shen Chi know? And why are you being so secretive?”

“Want to know?”

Shen Shihan looked ahead, his eyes revealing a hellish glint.

His tone made Mo Shuifu’s shoulders tremble, and she grasped the seat belt tightly without realizing it.

“Are you going to tell me?” she asked, turning to look at him nervously.

“Arms,” Shen Shihan said, his face expressionless.

Mo Shuifu’s eyes widened. Arms? That was illegal.

“Shen Shihan, why are you transporting such things? Don’t you know that’s illegal?”

“I know. So what? Are you going to report me to Shen Chi? Go ahead, I’m not stopping you,” Shen Shihan said with a hostile tone.

He deliberately added an “again” to his words, simply to remind her of what happened five years ago.

Mo Shuifu’s heart trembled, her grip on the seatbelt tightening.

Her mind went blank, and it took her a long time to snap out of it.

She felt as if even the sun in front of her was shaking, a blinding white glare, very harsh on the eyes.

After a long while, she finally spoke.

“You should turn yourself in.”

“That’s not going to happen.”

“You’re harming yourself and others, do you know that?” Mo Shuifu said, her face pale and voice severe.

“Unless you go and snitch to Shen Chi, no one else will know,” Shen Shihan finally turned to glance at Mo Shuifu, his look full of warning.

The blood-red hue spreading in his eyes gave Mo Shuifu chills.

“You know full well that I won’t,” she said, her voice as cold as frost.

“You could totally do it. That way, maybe Shen Chi would see you in a different light.”

“What do you mean?” Mo Shuifu couldn’t help but yell at him.

She was usually calm; it took a lot to anger her. But this man always managed to infuriate her to the point of bursting.

“What else could I mean? This is a rare opportunity,” Shen Shihan’s tone was bitter.

Mo Shuifu didn’t like to quarrel. As he said that, she immediately turned her head to look out the window, not wanting to deal with him any longer.

It was him who had done wrong, yet somehow, she seemed to be the one at fault.

Mo Shuifu was very angry.

Silence fell in the car, as neither of them spoke.

After a while, Mo Shuifu said faintly, “If you don’t turn yourself in, let’s get a divorce. I don’t want to live a life of constant fear with you.”

She knew that her threat had no effect.

In his life, in his heart, she likely held an insignificant place.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have committed illegal acts without considering her future.

Hearing the word “divorce,” Shen Shihan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, and the coldness on his face grew more intense.

He braked hard, bringing the car to a stop at the roadside!

Turning his head, two icy gazes bore into her.

“Have you wanted a divorce for a long time?”

Mo Shuifu grew even angrier, faced with his attitude.

“Can you not change the subject, please?” Mo Shuifu said, “I just don’t want to live in constant fear.”

“I’ve told you, as long as you don’t talk, no one will know!”

“Are you treating Shen Chi like a fool?” Mo Shuifu was unyielding.

“Yes, in your eyes, he’s like a god, perfect in every way. We’ve been married for two years, when have you ever forgotten about him? Huh?!” Shen Shihan roared, anger bubbling in his eyes.

“When will you stop being so unreasonable? I’ve told you many times, Shen Chi belongs to Chaomu, and I’m married to you.”

“Not content, are you? Then go snatch him back from Xu Chaomu!”

“I don’t want to talk to you anymore.” Mo Shuifu was furious.

It was always like this, every argument would raise his doubts, and he would bring up Shen Chi.

It didn’t matter that Xu Chaomu had returned; even if he hadn’t, she wouldn’t think about Shen Chi.

Some people are destined to be admired from afar.

Five years had passed, and her feelings for Shen Chi had long since faded…

She was no schoolgirl with a crush, lingering on someone. She understood reality well.

Silence once again fell in the car, but this quiet only stoked the fire in Shen Shihan’s heart, burning fiercer than before.

“Mo Shuifu, listen. Forget everything you saw and heard today,” Shen Shihan warned her.

Mo Shuifu didn’t respond, her eyes fixed on the world outside the window.

This matter was serious, and she would certainly be cautious but it didn’t mean she would listen to Shen Shihan.

“Did you hear me?” Shen Shihan demanded coldly.

“One must face the consequences of their mistakes,” Mo Shuifu replied simply.

“Then from today onwards, you’re not allowed to leave the house!”
