If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1021 - Chapter 1021 Chapter 1021 Called a Woman to Accompany in

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Called a Woman to Accompany in Sleep Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Called a Woman to Accompany in Sleep As soon as the woman approached, a light scent of cherry blossom perfume wafted through the air.

Tonight, she wore a bright red V-neck dress that exuded a dignified charm. Her face bore few expressions, but her large eyes were filled with fascination for Shen Chi.

Bai Man stopped in front of Shen Chi, her eyes swirling with emotions as she quietly observed him.

Compared with Bai Man, the woman behind her felt downright embarrassed.

She recognized Bai Man. Although Bai Man had left C City five years ago, her goddess-like image had long been ingrained in people’s hearts; how could she not recognize her?

She had also heard that Bai Man was Shen Chi’s ex-fiancee.

“President Shen, I’ve finally waited for you,” Bai Man said.

“Keeping track of my whereabouts?” Shen Chi curved his lips slightly.

“I’m sorry, it just so happens that one in your group is my college classmate,” Bai Man explained. “He told me that President Shen would stay at this hotel later, and he even booked a room for you. Also…”

As she spoke, Bai Man turned her head to look at the woman behind Shen Chi.

When she looked at her, there was a hint of sternness in Bai Man’s eyes.

The woman, already an inconspicuous character, felt uneasy under Bai Man’s stare. She wondered if she was interrupting something important.

Bai Man continued, “Also, he called a woman to keep you company.”

“What do you mean by ‘keep company’?” Shen Chi dismissed with disdain.

“How about this, President Shen, what do you think of me? Whatever she can do, I can do as well,” Bai Man provocatively glanced at the woman behind her.

“What can you do?” Shen Chi’s smile deepened.

“Whatever you want, I can do,” Bai Man replied with a coquettish smile.

Her smile, under the light of the lamps, appeared especially bright and attractive, like a bold and exotic red rose.

Shen Chi waved his hand to the woman behind him, “You can go back.”

“Oh, sure, sure…” The woman, having sensed the killing intent in Bai Man’s eyes, couldn’t wait to leave.

She dared not provoke Bai Man; the Bai Family was the top financial powerhouse in C City.

Soon, the woman fled in a panic.

In the hotel lobby, only Shen Chi and Bai Man remained.

The crystal chandelier’s light cascaded from above, illuminating Shen Chi’s stern face and Bai Man’s gentle features.

Both fell silent for several seconds, and eventually, Bai Man moved closer to Shen Chi’s side.

“I have no other intentions, I just didn’t expect to see President Shen so easily, and I was wondering… could we sit down and talk?” Bai Man looked at Shen Chi.

She was shorter than Shen Chi. Now standing in front of him, she slightly tilted her head up, staring incessantly at his stern face.

His face was exceptionally handsome, and she seemed to never tire of looking at it.

Over these five years, for the most part, she had seen him on television and in newspapers, but she remembered every aspect of his appearance and every move he made.

It turned out that the image of the person she liked had been etched into her heart along with love, never to fade.

Yes, after all these years, Bai Man lacked nothing but Shen Chi.

“What do you want to talk about in the middle of the night?” Shen Chi looked down at her with deep, inscrutable eyes.

“President Shen, I of course wanted to discuss the cooperation concerning that commercial street again. I’m sincerely interested in this, and I’ve brought a new proposal,” Bai Man explained.

“I’ve been drinking, sorry, I’m not really in the mood to discuss this,” Shen Chi casually refused.

Bai Man put away the proposal she was about to take from her handbag, her hand reaching out to cling to Shen Chi’s arm, “Well then, President Shen… let me take you to your room to rest.”

This time, Shen Chi didn’t say anything.

Bai Man pursed her lips tightly, her hands supporting Shen Chi as they headed to the pre-booked room.

Bai Man thought it was a good sign that he hadn’t rejected her.

At this hour, there was no one in the elevator; Bai Man supported Shen Chi as they stepped in. She could feel her heartbeat accelerating when she was close to him.

This was a feeling she never had with any other man.

The room was on the sixth floor. After ascending in the elevator, Bai Man and Shen Chi walked out together.

“Ouch!” As they stepped out of the elevator, Bai Man stumbled and lunged toward Shen Chi.

Shen Chi steadied her, frowning, “Did you twist your ankle?”

“Yes, but it’s nothing serious, nothing serious at all,” Bai Man said, grabbing onto Shen Chi’s white shirt and kicking her shoe back in place before slipping it on again.

“Do you want me to take a look?”

Shen Chi said this, but he didn’t move an inch.

“It’s okay. I’m not that delicate.”

Bai Man had her shoes on, but her hands were still clutching Shen Chi’s shirt, causing wrinkles in the fabric where her small hands grasped.

The corridor lights cast a dim, somewhat ambiguous glow.

Bai Man looked up, her angle allowing her a view of Shen Chi’s chiseled facial contours and his profound, deep gaze. The light hit his face just right, accentuating his handsomeness perfectly.

As she watched, Bai Man’s courage grew, and now, she was leaning in front of him.

Her arms wrapped around his waist, a hint of infatuation in her eyes.

“Shen Chi… if that woman can keep you company, so can I.”

Shen Chi’s lips curled up, and he didn’t push her away immediately. Instead, he half-heartedly started to pry her fingers from his waist one by one.

“I’m sorry, but Shen Chi isn’t used to sleeping with married women,” Shen Chi said softly, “Don’t forget, you’re engaged to Gu Xiuting.”

Bai Man looked frantic, her eyebrows furrowing as she clung to his waist.

“Shen Chi… don’t you know? I’ve always liked you, it’s always been you, and that hasn’t changed.”

“But the person you’re engaged to is Gu Xiuting,” Shen Chi replied blandly.

“I don’t love him… I only got engaged to him because I saw that you were married, and it hurt me so much…” Bai Man clutched his shirt, “You don’t know, I haven’t registered the marriage with him, and Xiuting is gay. We’re just meeting each other’s needs, that’s all.”

“Don’t joke around, go back, I, Shen Chi, am not right for you,” Shen Chi said with a smirk.

“Do you still not believe me? What do I have to do to make you believe what I say?” Bai Man bit her lip, looking aggrieved.

“You know, Shen Chi is already a married man.”

“But you… aren’t happy, are you? Xu Chaomu she snaps at you, treats you badly, is petty, and jealous,” Bai Man hurriedly said.

“Yes, you’re not wrong, but I don’t like getting myself into unnecessary trouble.”

“You still don’t trust me…”

“You know… I, Shen Chi, am a man who values evidence and credibility.”

“Fine… I’ll make you understand,” Bai Man said.

Shen Chi smirked. This woman, no matter how smart she was, always acted foolish in his presence!

“Then I’ll wait for you,” Shen Chi bent down and whispered in her ear.

These four words, unintended as a charm, deeply bewitched Bai Man’s heart.
