If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1022 - Chapter 1022 Chapter 1022 The Worlds Emotional Poison

Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: The World’s Emotional Poison Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: The World’s Emotional Poison Under the lights, his gaze seemed much softer than ever, an unfamiliar tenderness.

For a moment, Bai Man forgot to remove her hand from his waist, her eyes slightly intoxicated.

It was as if he was still the man he used to be, and she was still the woman she used to be, as if time hadn’t drifted far.

However, the moment Shen Chi pried her hand from his waist, she snapped back to reality–he was already married, and she had a fiance.

“Mr. Shen… Is there still a chance for this cooperation?” Bai Man took the opportunity to ask.

She always felt that Shen Chi treated her a bit differently.

The incident that had taken place on the cruise five years ago seemed distant now; he probably had almost forgotten it, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so annoyed with Xu Chaomu.

“It depends on your sincerity,” Shen Chi told her.

Those were another four extremely ambiguous words, which made Bai Man daydream.

“I will make sure you… see my sincerity.”

Shen Chi hooked his lips slightly and glanced at her, “No need to always call me Mr. Shen, it’s too formal. Are we… that distant?”

“Yes, Shen… Shen Chi,” Bai Man smiled and called his name.

Shen Chi said nothing more, instead taking the room card and heading to the room he had booked.

Bai Man still followed him, the sound of her high heels clicking on the floor was especially distinct in the corridor that night.

It was already past midnight.

When he opened the door, Shen Chi turned around and said indifferently, “You should leave.”

“Mmm… Go to bed early, remember to take a bath, drink some tea, sober up, so you won’t have a headache,” Bai Man advised.

“Mmm.”

“I’ll be going then.”

After speaking, Bai Man reluctantly prepared to leave.

“Wait,” Shen Chi stopped her, “give me the new proposal you prepared.”

A look of surprise flashed across Bai Man’s face; it seemed that her heartfelt words had indeed moved him. Indeed, opening the heart of such a tough man still required sincerity.

What she sought wasn’t just cooperation; she also wondered… if it was possible, could she and Shen Chi take a step further.

After all, Shen Chi was quite annoyed with Xu Chaomu now; the opportunity was perfect.

Bai Man came to her senses, took the newly prepared proposal out of her bag, and handed it to Shen Chi.

“Shen Chi… take a look. I had it revised again. I very much hope that the Bai Family and Shen Group could cooperate once more. Previously, our collaboration was very pleasant.”

“Alright, thank you for your effort.”

“It’s no effort. Can you… try to help me out?”

“Fine, I will try at the board meeting, but it still depends on your sincerity,” Shen Chi said, smiling slightly.

His words and his gaze left Bai Man slightly puzzled–was he implying something else?

She nodded, “I’ll make sure you see my sincerity.”

“Go back now.”

“Mmm.” Bai Man nodded.

Shen Chi entered the room and immediately shut the door.

Bai Man wondered if she wasn’t a married woman, would he have taken her into the room tonight…

She believed he would.

He could take those disgraceful women to hotels, and she, Bai Man, was much better than them.

She lingered outside the room for a very long time, unwilling to leave.

As for Shen Chi, after entering the room, he glanced at the proposal in his hand and casually tossed it into the trash!

He frowned in disgust and went straight to the bathroom to wash his hands.

The clothes still seemed to carry the faint scent of cherry blossoms from Bai Man’s perfume. He scoffed coldly, silently unbuttoning and removing the shirt.

He was actually looking forward to Bai Man’s “sincerity.” He wanted to see whether she would break up with Gu Xiuting or something else.

After all, the Gu Family was her second biggest support.

After taking off his shirt, he revealed a muscular and sexy body and went directly into the bathtub to soak.

He had drunk quite a bit, but he wasn’t drunk.

The poison of love in this world was something only Xu Chaomu could cure, and he was at a loss.

At this moment, the bathroom was surrounded by steam, slowly fogging up the glass mirrors and the sink with a thin layer of mist which gradually condensed into droplets, trickling down along a pattern.

He closed his eyes, lying in the comfort surrounded by steam and hot water.

It was the most leisurely and peaceful moment of the day, but the more it was like this, the more he missed a certain Little Fairy.

The newspapers had fabricated such rumors, saying she had cheated, yet she could remain so calm?

Did she really no longer care about him, or was something wrong?

The latter possibility wasn’t that likely; if something had really happened, the police would quickly be on his trail!

That meant she no longer cared about him, not even when others slandered her. She didn’t want him anymore.

“Mumu…” he called her name with his eyes still closed, his voice low and hoarse.

That call was filled with so much longing… Unfortunately, the Little Fairy didn’t know.

He hadn’t seen her for half a year now; her heart was truly hard.

He knew he was at fault, and he knew there were unresolved issues between them, but she just wouldn’t give him a chance…

After lying in the bathtub for a while, the effects of the alcohol set in, a wave after wave surging to his chest, turning bit by bit into bitterness.

It felt like there was a stone blocking his throat, rendering him unable to speak.

The night deepened, and his head started to ache slightly.

He rubbed his temples, her image constantly appearing in his mind…

He didn’t know how long he had been lying in the bathtub, but when he woke up, the water had almost gone cold.

He frowned, stepped out of the bathtub, got dressed, and took a look at himself in the mirror.

He looked haggard.

He helplessly hooked his lip corners, no wonder people say longing ages one. Shen Chi’s day had come too.

Just now, lying in the bathtub, the water too cold, he carelessly felt a touch of a cold coming on, sneezed a few times, and suddenly felt sleepy.

At this moment, he really wanted to hold her and fall asleep together.

He wondered if she was thinking of him at this time?

But since she was determined to leave him, how could she…

The corners of Shen Chi’s mouth were bitter as he walked to the window and lit a cigarette.

…

During those days, Shen Chi had not reached out to Bai Man again, and Bai Man had also been silent.

The contract that Xiao Mo had made was still on his desk, buried under a pile of files.

Seeing that Bai Man had made no move, Shen Chi called Xiao Mo over.

“President Shen,” Xiao Mo entered the CEO’s office.

“I have a fine Black Pearl here, rare and precious, suitable for a necklace or bracelet, very elegant. I’d like you to deliver it for me,” Shen Chi tapped on the desk.

Xiao Mo looked forward and indeed saw a red brocade box in front of Shen Chi.

The box was open, and from his angle, he could see a fine Black Pearl inside, perfectly round and lustrous with excellent color.

“This Black Pearl isn’t cheap, is it?” Xiao Mo deliberately asked.

“It’s crass to measure everything in terms of money.” Shen Chi replied lightly.
