If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1025 - Chapter 1025 Chapter 1025 Like a Young Girl in First Love

Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: Like a Young Girl in First Love Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: Like a Young Girl in First Love Xiao Mo frowned and looked at the children.

He seldom interacted with children, but he could tell their personalities at a glance.

Some were quiet and introverted, some were lively and extroverted, some were particularly naughty, and some didn’t speak at all.

Just from watching them eat, some children scattered rice everywhere while the teacher constantly reminded them from the side, and others ate elegantly, chewing slowly.

Xiao Mo smiled helplessly and shook his head as he really wasn’t sure what kind of child to bring back for Xu Chaomu.

“Secretary Xiao, are you satisfied with the children I just showed you?” his subordinate asked, “Those children fit your requirements quite well, although they are young, they are already very smart. They can solve simple math problems and learn characters quickly.”

“I’ve generally understood the situation, I’ll think about it, and you can accompany me to a few more orphanages this coming weekend,” Xiao Mo said.

“Okay, Secretary Xiao, I will arrange the schedule.”

“Mm.”

Xiao Mo toured around this orphanage again and interacted with a few children. The world of children was really pure, and Xiao Mo quite liked it, so he asked his subordinate to buy them quite a few gifts.

When distributing the gifts, they all gathered around Xiao Mo, calling him “Uncle” “Uncle” happily.

Xiao Mo thought, if Xu Chaomu had a child, he would be very happy too…

When he left the orphanage, it was almost eight o’clock at night, and Xiao Mo drove home.

He had originally taken many photos of the children to send to Xu Chaomu, but fearing that it might upset her, he decided to save them on his phone first.

He would show them to her when he went to Jin City.

As he was driving home, passing by Shen Group, coincidentally, he saw Bai Man’s car heading towards the underground garage.

Xiao Mo deliberately slowed down and checked in the rearview mirror; there was no mistake, it was Bai Man’s sports car, he remembered the license plate.

That car had appeared in Jin City last time, only to be smashed by Xu Chaomu.

It seemed it had been nearly repaired now.

But so late in the evening, was Bai Man here to see Shen Chi?

Shen Chi hadn’t left work yet?

Xiao Mo shook his head with a smile curling at the corner of his lips, thinking he had never seen such a hardworking boss.

Bai Man’s red sports car entered the underground garage, and indeed, the person in the car was Bai Man, and she was driving herself.

Tonight, Bai Man wore a pure and beautiful white dress, her hair up, making her look especially tall, slender, and youthful.

She carried her handbag and went directly to the elevator heading to Shen Chi’s office.

Most people in the group had gone home, so when Bai Man arrived, she wore a mask and sunglasses, and no one recognized her.

She was very familiar with the president’s office, having not come for many years, yet still handling everything with ease.

However, as usual, she was stopped outside the door.

Bai Man felt quite angry, but gritting her teeth, still called Shen Chi.

“President Shen, I heard you were still working overtime, so I came to see you,” Bai Man took off her sunglasses and mask.

“Mm, I just happen to have some unfinished work in my hands.”

“It’s too hard on you, I’m at the president’s office door, can you… let them let me in?” Bai Man tentatively asked.

“Sure, I’ll give them a heads-up.”

“Mm, thanks.”

Soon, the door opened, and Bai Man walked alone toward the president’s office.

Five years ago, she often came to this place, but now, five years later, it was her first time.

There had been many changes here, even more luxurious and understated, in Shen Chi’s style.

“Mr. Shen,” she knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

As the door opened, Bai Man walked in with her handbag in tow.

Shen Chi was immersed in contemplating a work report; his brow was slightly furrowed, and his lips tightly pressed.

Bai Man stood at the doorway, her gaze falling entirely on Shen Chi’s face and found herself unable to look away for quite a while.

“Sit,” Shen Chi didn’t look up and simply said lightly.

“Oh,” Bai Man returned to her senses and walked toward Shen Chi.

“Mr. Shen, have you had dinner? I brought some dishes for you, made by myself. I received your gift today and was so surprised that I thought I’d come over to thank you personally,” Bai Man said as she took out a thermal lunch box from her handbag.

Shen Chi then put down his pen and glanced at Bai Man, a slight curve appearing on his lips, “Don’t be so formal, we’re not strangers. Did you like the gift?”

Bai Man nodded, “I liked it, a very beautiful black pearl. I had it made into a necklace as soon as I received it. Look.”

Indeed, there was a black pearl necklace around Bai Man’s neck, extremely beautiful.

Under the light, the black pearl emitted a shimmering luster, understated and restrained yet elegant and perfect, complementing Bai Man’s complexion well.

“It suits you very well; some people don’t suit black pearls, but you, you wear it very well,” Shen Chi said earnestly.

A hint of shyness appeared on Bai Man’s face, like a young girl in her first love.

“Really? Mr. Shen, thank you,” Bai Man smiled.

“Did you come specially to bring dinner?” Shen Chi asked.

“Yes, I heard you were still working overtime at the Group, so I made a few dishes that I remember you like. I just don’t know if they still suit your taste after five years.”

“Tastes don’t change,” Shen Chi responded.

Both harbored unspoken thoughts; Bai Man was testing, and Shen Chi, being a clever man, could surely hear the unspoken words.

Indeed, Bai Man smiled satisfactorily.

“Mr. Shen, eat it while it’s hot; it won’t taste good once it gets cold,” Bai Man said.

“Let’s leave it for now, I still have some work unfinished. You know I don’t like to leave things halfway.”

“Okay, then I’ll just leave it here,” Bai Man covered the thermal lunch box again.

“Mhm.”

“By the way, Mr. Shen…”

“There’s no need to be so formal,” Shen Chi interrupted her.

Bai Man was taken aback, then curved her lips into a smile, “Shen Chi…”

She lifted her head to look at Shen Chi, who was not drunk today and was very sober; she guessed that the words he had said while drunk must have been sincere.

“Shen Chi, you gave me such a valuable gift, so I also brought a gift for you.”

“So formal?”

“Of course, it’s courteous reciprocity. I’ve brought a gift for you, see if you like it. But even if you don’t, you still have to accept it,” Bai Man’s tone carried a hint of playful scolding, reminiscent of the days when she was with Shen Chi.

She opened another handbag, and inside was a very pretty gift box. Upon opening the box, there was a light gray men’s tie.

“Do you like it?” Bai Man asked.

“The gifts you choose always have great taste,” Shen Chi’s lips curled upwards.

“So… you’ll accept?”

“You said I must accept it, why wouldn’t I?”

“That’s good, just remember to wear it, don’t just store it away. I picked it specially, it’s suitable for important occasions and very fitting for you,” Bai Man said, smiling as she placed the box on a corner of Shen Chi’s large office desk.
