If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1028 - Chapter 1028 Chapter 1028 The Sleeping Young Woman

Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: The Sleeping Young Woman Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: The Sleeping Young Woman “Help me check where Shen Chi was around seven o’clock tonight,” Bai Man said indifferently.

“Alright,” the other end responded.

Soon, there was an answer.

“Miss Bai, we’ve found out. Today is Saturday, Shen Chi was originally resting at home, but he went to the group headquarters temporarily in the evening, it looks like there was something urgent, and we couldn’t investigate any deeper, Shen’s security is very tight.”

“Okay, got it,” Bai Man hung up the phone.

It seemed that Shen Chi hadn’t lied to her; he really had gone to the group headquarters because something had come up last minute, instead of deliberately leaving her in the restaurant for an hour.

This satisfied Bai Man.

At this point, she drove her car back to the Bai Family. She thought that once she had investigated to a certain extent, as long as Shen Chi’s sincerity was enough, she would naturally confront the Gu Family.

Right now, she dare not take any chances.

Shen Chi had been taken away by Old Cheng. Having drunk quite a lot, he rubbed his temples when he got in the car, feeling somewhat heavy-headed.

“President Shen, may I say something I probably shouldn’t?” Old Cheng asked.

“Go ahead.”

“You… why are you…” Old Cheng stopped mid-sentence.

Shen Chi understood. Wasn’t it about why he was involved with Bai Man again?

“Bai Man really is better than Xu Chaomu; there’s no question about it,” Shen Chi stated calmly.

“President Shen… you…” Old Cheng sighed, “Have you forgotten what happened five years ago…”

“What about five years ago? I still remember what’s happening now!” Shen Chi grew a bit angry, raising his voice, “Xu Chaomu, that woman, left without a word. Did she ever consider Shen Chi important? Where does she have half the empathy Bai Man has?”

“President Shen, you’ve changed.”

“People don’t stay the same,” Shen Chi replied discontentedly, “Let Xu Chaomu leave if she wants to. Tomorrow I’ll have the lawyer draft a divorce agreement!”

“President Shen, do you really not love Miss Xu anymore? Are you truly bewitched by Miss Bai…” Old Cheng urgently said, “Miss Xu is kind-hearted and sensible. She was just upset because she lost the child.”

“Upset because the child is gone? Was the child even mine?!” Shen Chi said angrily.

“President Shen… you’re drunk,” Old Cheng didn’t speak any further.

Old Cheng didn’t know what kind of spell Bai Man had cast on Shen Chi; this sudden change wasn’t like him.

The car kept driving forward, as Shen Chi closed his eyes and stopped talking.

He thought that after five years, that woman Bai Man was too meticulous, considering every aspect, every detail thoroughly. Therefore, he also had to think everything through carefully.

Apart from Xiao Mo, he wouldn’t tell the truth to anyone.

The less people knew about many things, the better. He had to create an illusion of being greatly annoyed by Xu Chaomu…

With this in mind, he chuckled bitterly, feeling sorry for a certain Little Fairy…

Right now, she might be hiding somewhere, laughing at his expense. Judging by her character, she would probably accuse him of being lecherous and fond of women, especially those with large chests.

Wondering what story she would concoct, Shen Chi curled his lips into a smirk.

When the car arrived at the Waterside Pavillion, a call came through, so Shen Chi told Old Cheng to go back first.

He wasn’t too drunk, and after spending some time in the evening breeze after getting out of the car, he felt much more sober.

“Hello, what’s up?”

“President Shen, following your orders, we secretly stayed in the shadows, and then, we spotted some strangers lingering around Shen Group and near the Shen Family residence, seemingly trying to dig up some information.”

“I understand.”

“Alright.”

Shen Chi hung up the phone, knowing that five years later, Bai Man had become very shrewd. If the details weren’t handled well, she could easily notice.

Since the game was on, he would play seriously this time, to see if she could outplay him.

Anyone can play dirty behind the scenes, it’s just a matter of who is more ruthless.

Every time he thought of Xu Chaomu’s child, his heart would twitch and the pain was unbearable.

He had failed to protect her and their child. He was an unqualified husband, an unqualified father. She had every right to leave him.

It’s just that he really missed her…

Especially at times like this. When he’d open the living room door, he’d almost see a small woman sitting on the sofa, dozing off, waiting for him to come home.

A little dog, which was named Wealth, would be lying at her feet.

Every time he came home, she would be so happy.

Every time he told her not to wait for him, she would counter, “Who’s waiting for you? I just accidentally fell asleep while watching TV, that’s all.”

Now, he longed to see a “just accidentally” sleeping small woman…

But at the end of his gaze, there was only the empty sofa.

He leaned against the wall, changed his shoes, and walked upstairs with a face of gloom and dejection.

…

On Sunday, Bai Man went to the orphanage for charity work. She had her assistant buy a lot of items, like stationery, clothes, books… filling an entire car.

After five years, Bai Man was still the center of attention in C City. Combined with Shen Chi’s popularity, Bai Man also became a hot topic among the reporters.

Today, as she arrived at the orphanage, some reporters came to sneak pictures.

However, this was beneficial for shaping her goddess image, so Bai Man did not mind.

For the past week, because she had planned to date Shen Chi and had to take care of family affairs, Bai Man couldn’t travel far and could only do charity work in C City for now.

After visiting several orphanages, she planned to go to several primary schools next.

Just as she got out of the car at “Flower Orphanage,” coincidentally, she ran into Xiao Mo.

Both were startled for a moment but quickly recovered.

“Xiao Secretary, what a coincidence. Are you here on behalf of Shen’s for charity work?” Bai Man greeted him first.

Xiao Mo would certainly hide the truth. He said indifferently, “Yes, I just came to donate some supplies.”

“The children here are lucky. Getting a donation from Shen Group, the amount must be quite substantial.” Bai Man said.

“It’s the thought that counts more than the money.”

“Right, Xiao Secretary, you are so right. Why don’t you stay and play with the children for a while? Join me?” Bai Man invited him.

“No, I still have to go to the next place,” Xiao Mo declined.

“I see. Then I won’t keep you from your work. You’re busy,” Bai Man said.

“Mm.”

Xiao Mo left the orphanage with his colleagues. As they departed, he asked in a low voice, “We didn’t tell anyone about our purpose for coming here, did we?”

“No, rest assured, even the principal doesn’t know.”

“Mm.”

It’s not good if someone finds out about these kinds of things. It would be even worse if Bai Man found out.

This woman, he had no idea what kind of schemes she was concocting in her mind.

Five years later, this woman had become even more calculating and very astute.

“Xiao Secretary, where are we going now? The next orphanage? I’ve arranged everything in the itinerary,” the subordinate said.

“The schedule for today ends here. We’ll do it another day,” Xiao Mo said. “I’m going to see President Shen.”

“Alright, at your command at any time.”

After speaking, Xiao Mo got into his car and made a call to Shen Chi.

Shen Chi was at Waterside Pavilion. When he received Xiao Mo’s call, he wasn’t surprised. Hearing that there was something to discuss, he immediately asked Xiao Mo to come over.
