Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: He Misses Her Very Much Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: He Misses Her Very Much “Remember the last time you gave me a tie was five years ago,” Shen Chi said.

Bai Man was startled, her heart softening. She hadn’t expected him to remember, which touched her deeply.

“Is that tie still around?” Bai Man asked softly.

“Yes.”

Bai Man smiled, feeling another surge of emotion. She really hadn’t expected Shen Chi to still have it.

She ventured another question, “Your wife… has she ever given you such gifts?”

“What does she know? Sometimes when I talk to her about fashion and trends, she doesn’t understand at all,” Shen Chi frowned, his tone slightly dissatisfied.

“That’s normal, these things require early exposure,” Bai Man said.

“Mm.”

“Oh, Shen Chi, I won’t keep you from your work any longer. I’ve left dinner here for you to eat once you’re done.”

“Mm,” Shen Chi responded, “Thank you.”

“Still so formal with me,” Bai Man laughed. “I hope you like it, I made it specially.”

“Are you free on Sunday? I’d like to invite you to dinner,” Shen Chi said.

“Sunday… I seem to have a charity event. How about we go to the orphanage together?”

“That might not be a good idea, there are always reporters watching,” Shen Chi said with a resigned smile.

“How about we have dinner together on Saturday then?”

“Sure, let’s do Saturday,” Shen Chi agreed.

Bai Man was delighted. “Do you want me to sit on the couch and keep you company? It’s late, and it seems you could use a secretary to serve tea and water.”

“I couldn’t possibly have you serve tea and water.”

“That’s fine, actually… I really like watching you work. It’s been many years since I last saw it,” Bai Man’s eyes showed deep affection.

In fact, she hadn’t seen him work that much even five years ago, but even the few times she did, she was deeply charmed by Shen Chi. Every move he made had made a lasting impression on her mind. Many nights, she tossed and turned, constantly thinking of him.

No matter when or what he did, she seemed to like everything about him.

“That might take a while.”

“No worries, I can wait,” Bai Man said.

“Mm,” Shen Chi didn’t say anything more.

He continued to work, head bowed, while Bai Man really did sit on the couch, resting her chin in her hands and watching him.

However, half an hour had passed, and Shen Chi’s work still wasn’t finished.

“I’m sorry, it’s going to take a while longer. It’s getting late; you should head back. See you Saturday.”

“It’s fine, I can wait.”

“Listen, go back,” Shen Chi frowned. “It’s getting cold, remember to wear a coat.”

Bai Man’s heart skipped a beat. His tone was commanding, yet it felt incredibly tender to her.

She couldn’t help but stand up.

“Should I… head back then?”

“Yes, go!”

Bai Man reluctantly stood up, giving Shen Chi a few more longing glances before leaving his office.

Outside Shen’s building, the lights were bright in the bustling area, shining brilliantly everywhere.

As she was leaving, Bai Man looked back at Shen Chi a few more times. Shen Chi also looked up and motioned for her to hurry, as it was getting very late.

After she left, Shen Chi called his secretary.

“Mr. Shen.”

“Throw these things out,” Shen Chi commanded without looking up, his face void of any expression.

“Yes,” the female secretary glanced at the food container on the desk and picked it up.

Just as she was about to turn away, Shen Chi snapped, “Can’t you see the tie box?!”

The secretary was so frightened that she looked up again, her face filled with astonishment, as she trembled and asked, “This… This tie is very valuable, should… should I also throw it away?”

“Do I need to repeat myself?!”

“No, no, no, there’s no need.” The secretary, sweating profusely, quickly took the tie box and hurried out.

There was no way she dared let Shen Chi repeat himself, the secretary scared to the point of her legs becoming weak.

Once outside, the secretary threw all the items directly into the trash can.

Shen Chi, his face expressionless as if nothing had happened, organized the documents, grabbed his car keys, and then left the office.

He was indeed hungry at that moment.

As he passed a restaurant when leaving the company, he slowed his car down considerably, his gaze turning exceptionally profound.

After making a turn, he parked his car outside the restaurant. Yet, he didn’t get out immediately but instead sat in the driver’s seat, gazing spellbound at a certain spot in the restaurant.

He remembered, he had once brought a “Little Fairy” here.

That day, he had just brought her back from the seaside; she was in a foul mood, but she ended up enjoying that night’s meal quite a bit.

Silently watching a spot by the window, Shen Chi’s heart panged with waves of bitterness.

Her smiling face seemed vivid before him, she would call him “Brother Four”…

He rarely brought her out because of his busy schedule, looking back now, what did the work even matter…

In the darkness, his spine remained straight, adding a touch of desolation.

For a long while, he didn’t come out, only stared intensely at a certain spot.

He missed her a lot.

Very much.

With people coming and going by the car, the vehicle next to him had changed several times, yet Shen Chi still sat in the car.

Unsure of the time, he picked up his phone and dialed the most familiar number.

However, on the other end, there was only the familiar voice: “Sorry, the phone you dialed is switched off, please try again later.”

It had been half a year, a full half year of always hearing that message.

Under the night sky, his eyes gradually reddened, and his hands gripping the steering wheel trembled slightly.

…

On Saturday, Shen Chi kept his appointment with Bai Man, dining with her at an Italian restaurant.

However, he made Bai Man wait a full hour.

“Sorry for being late, there was an issue with a report’s data, and I had to rush to the company,” Shen Chi apologized as soon as he arrived.

“It’s fine, work is important,” Bai Man said.

In reality, waiting for an hour, anyone would lose their temper, and so did Bai Man, but she merely forced a smile.

“I’m really sorry, consider this as my apology.”

To Bai Man’s surprise, Shen Chi pulled out a bunch of lilies, the beautiful and vibrant flowers emitting a fragrant scent that instantly filled the table.

“These are for… me?” Bai Man took the lilies, her anger dissipating as she beamed with joy.

“Who else would be here?” Shen Chi smiled suavely and gentlemanly.

“You are really thoughtful, thank you, they’re beautiful,” Bai Man said, genuinely overjoyed as she accepted the lilies.

“Sorry.”

“It’s fine, work is important.”

“You really are very understanding.”

“Thank you for your compliment, but I’m not as good as you say,” Bai Man replied, lowering her head with a bashful smile.

“Have you ordered? If not, shall I?”

“Not yet, I was waiting for you.”

Shen Chi called over a waiter and ordered a few dishes, while Bai Man, holding the lilies, looked blissfully happy.

At this moment, she did not hide her emotions too much, sometimes she would look up at Shen Chi; she liked looking at him, this man… she never tired of him, even more mature, steady, and graceful after five years.
