If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 856 - : Do You Dare to Kiss Me
Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Do You Dare to Kiss Me
Her smile was clean and clear, especially right now, this kind of smile that stemmed from the heart.
She held him close, simply unwilling to let go.
It was the first time she felt such attention from everyone. She had been very nervous in the beginning, but now, with him there, her nerves had long since faded, replaced by a warm, sweet feeling.
After a good while, Xu Chaomu’s hands were a bit sore, after all, she was still holding a certificate and a very heavy trophy.
She estimated the trophy was made of solid gold and couldn’t help but chuckle to herself.
“When we get back, I’ll let you hold me to your heart’s content,” Shen Chi had no choice but to say to her.

The award ceremony wasn’t over yet. If she kept on holding him like this, they really couldn’t continue.
However, if she was insistent on continuing to hold him… then he was powerless to stop her.
Xu Chaomu snorted coldly, “Who will want to hold you once we’re back?”
Having said that, she lifted her head and glanced at him.
They were so close that Xu Chaomu could see a shrunken version of herself in his pupils.
“My hands are sore,” Xu Chaomu said, pointing to the trophy and certificate in her hands.
Shen Chi curled the corners of his lips, took the trophy and certificate from her hands, and handed them to a staff member nearby. Then he looked at her and smiled, “Does this make your hands less sore?”
Xu Chaomu nodded her head. Suddenly, she had an idea: “Husband, do you dare to kiss me?”
“…” Shen Chi gave her a glance.
Just then, the host, seeing that the two had finally embraced each other, continued to speak, “Let’s give Mrs. Xu Chaomu another round of warm applause.”
At that moment, there was a stir from below the stage, and a warm applause erupted, roaring like thunder.
Xu Chaomu looked down at the audience; she bowed slightly, her face always wearing a tranquil smile.
“Let’s thank President Shen once again for presenting the award,” the host said.
The applause continued, and according to past conventions, Shen Chi should have taken his seat by then.
But at this moment, Shen Chi looked at the audience, his stern face now showing a touch of warmth, and he spoke, “I would like to show everyone this necklace and invite Mrs. Xu Chaomu as a special model. Would everyone agree?”
“Yes.” The applause from below was unceasing, and everyone expressed their approval.
They also wanted to see the exquisite and gorgeous necklace, especially the dazzling red diamond on the necklace, that unique red diamond.
Xu Chaomu was somewhat flattered. She hadn’t expected that Shen Chi would invite her to model.
But her current appearance—would it affect sales later on if she really were to model?
However, she really wanted to see the finished necklace, after all, it was designed by her over many days and nights.
Now, if the necklace could be worn around her neck, she felt that all the time spent and effort put in were worth it.
At this time, Shen Chi clapped his hands.
The lights dimmed slightly, focusing on a young girl who was entering the stage gracefully.
She maintained a proper smile, walking with confidence and ease. The girl held a large red silk jewelry box, elegant yet vibrant in color.
Then, a stand appeared on the stage, and the girl placed the silk box upon it, before retreating herself.
All focus and eyes converged on the stand, anticipating the moment the jewelry box would be opened.
Just seeing the high-definition pictures was already tempting; if the real thing were to be opened, wouldn’t it dazzle everyone present?
All the journalists had their eyes wide open, capturing the moment the jewelry box opened!
Suddenly, there was silence in the venue.
Xu Chaomu was also anticipating; she knew that only one person in the entire venue had ever seen the necklace, and that was Shen Chi.
What did the finished necklace look like? Xu Chaomu felt a bit nervous, so full of anticipation, so eager.
The necklace was like her son, whom she had watched grow little by little, and naturally, she held great expectations for it.
Shen Chi strode to the crystal stand on the stage, his mere presence becoming a striking scene.
Xu Chaomu, with her belly out, was the person closest to the necklace, aside from Shen Chi.
Before opening the brocade box, Shen Chi cast a smiling glance towards Xu Chaomu, and she smiled back, walking towards him.
It wasn’t until she reached his side that he lowered his voice, his eyes and eyebrows brimming with smiles, “Open it and see.”
“Can I open it?” Xu Chaomu asked half in doubt.
“Who else could open it, if not you?” Shen Chi whispered.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chaomu’s heart burst into bloom.
She moved to Shen Chi’s side, facing everyone in the venue, and placed her hands on the brocade box.
On the box was a very antique-looking copper lock, quaint yet seemingly very ancient.
At first glance, Xu Chaomu realized the lock required assembling four characters to open.
Xu Chaomu looked helplessly towards Shen Chi, not knowing the password…
“Your name.” Shen Chi said.
Huh? Her name? But her name had three characters.
She looked at Shen Chi for assistance again. Shen Chi helplessly commented, “Silly.”
“…” Xu Chaomu gave him a reproachful look; of course, her name had three characters while the lock required four.
“In the future, our son cannot take after you.” Shen Chi’s voice was low as he grabbed her hand and gently moved the lock dial.
“…” Xu Chaomu felt so innocent. Could their son not take after her? Was it really good for him to look down on her like this?
As the dial turned, she finally realized, oh, it spelled “Chaomu,” hehehe, it was her name.
The words spoken by the two of them on stage could not be heard by the crowd below, but seeing how they nearly leaned their heads together, everyone felt an air of intimacy, and of course… it was quite sweet.
In the audience, there were only four people who knew about the relationship between Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu: Lou Yanli, Nie Chenglang, Bai Man, and Gu Xiuting.
The expressions on the faces of these four people varied. Lou Yanli, after five years, truly regarded Xu Chaomu as a friend now, his earnest gaze filled with well wishes for her.
Since the Lou Family was now in a cooperative relationship with Shen Group, Shen Group winning an award was a cause for celebration both professionally and personally for him.
Therefore, Lou Yanli’s expression was the most indifferent among the four.
Of course, he might also have been the most composed person there.
Nie Chenglang was different, his gaze was fixed on Xu Chaomu throughout the event.
After returning to C City, he chose to let go, but he couldn’t forget her so soon, truly couldn’t forget…
She was beautiful at this moment, and he was reminded of the times in Paris; that time was the happiest period of his life.
It’s just a pity, it was fleeting.
He truly regretted bringing her back to C City; without a beginning, there would have been no end.
As for Gu Xiuting, he didn’t display much emotion; he was still thinking about the incident where Bai Man was splashed with a cup of hot tea by Xu Chaomu. Even though some time had passed since that incident, he couldn’t let it go.
Now, with Xu Chaomu standing on stage, Gu Xiuting didn’t show any pleasant facial expression, he was even disdainful.
