If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1037 - Chapter 1037 Chapter 1037 Are You Provoking Me Shen Chi

Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Are You Provoking Me, Shen Chi? Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Are You Provoking Me, Shen Chi? Tsk tsk, it seems no man can escape, and Shen Chi is no exception.

All men are fickle, particularly when faced with a woman as sexy and charming as Bai Man.

For a while, the circle was abuzz with various discussions, relishing the topic.

After the engagement was called off, the scandal spread far and wide. Bai Man gave Shen Chi a call, “Are you free tonight? I’d like to invite you to dinner, and also, I want to give you a surprise.”

Shen Chi was in his office. He glanced at his wristwatch and said indifferently, “I’m afraid I’m not available today, how about tomorrow?”

“Okay, then tomorrow night. You have to show up on time this time.”

“Don’t worry,” Shen Chi said.

“Mhm, I trust you. You have me in your heart, right?”

“I have a board meeting to attend in a while, you know,” Shen Chi started to say but stopped himself.

Bai Man’s heart skipped a beat. A board meeting? Could it be about the commercial street project involving the Bai Family and Shen’s?

Listening to Shen Chi, it seemed very likely.

“Shen Chi, is it related to the Bai Family? Are you fighting for my interests?” Bai Man suppressed the excitement in her heart and tentatively asked.

“Have I ever ignored anything you’ve said?” Shen Chi said.

“Then I really want to thank you. I must treat you to a nice meal. I’ll pay. I’m truly grateful to you for speaking up for me.”

“What’s there to thank me for? The Bai Family is strong. A partnership is beneficial for both parties, a win-win for Shen Group. Helping you is helping myself,” Shen Chi said.

“Then don’t overwork yourself. Remember to go home and rest after the meeting. I’ll wait for your news.”

“Alright.”

With that, Shen Chi hung up the phone.

His lips showed a deep curve, and his face shaded slightly darker.

What board meeting? In Shen Group, it was still Shen Chi who had the final say. However, he was quite pleased to hear that Bai Man and Gu Xiuting had truly called off their engagement.

In the afternoon, Xiao Mo knocked and entered.

“President Shen, here are a few meeting schedules for you to look over,” Xiao Mo handed the documents to Shen Chi.

“Put them there.” Shen Chi wasn’t very interested in looking.

“Mr. Chen would like to invite you to the golf course tomorrow morning.”

“I’m not going,” Shen Chi replied without a second thought.

“Alright, I’ll cancel for you,” Xiao Mo said.

After reporting everything, Xiao Mo couldn’t help but ask, “President Shen, I heard that Bai Man and Gu Xiuting have called off their engagement. She’s quite decisive.”

“I’ve seen the divorce agreement, and I threw away all of Chaomu’s stuff. What’s not for her to be moved by? She heard what I said when I was drunk,” Shen Chi said casually.

“Yes, any woman would be moved by that. Bai Man is quite careful. Not to mention anything else, just a smile from you, President Shen, would make them fall head over heels,” Xiao Mo joked.

“Is that so? How many times have I smiled at someone, and did she become infatuated?” Shen Chi said irritably.

“…” Xiao Mo was speechless.

“President Shen, actually, by throwing away all of Miss Xu’s belongings… if one day she comes back, what will she think?”

“I’ll buy new ones.”

“Some things can’t be bought with money.”

“Then why does she keep those memories with Nie Chenglang? To provoke me, Shen Chi? Sorry, I’m petty and narrow-minded. I’ve wanted to throw them away for a long time!” Shen Chi said unapologetically.

“…” Hearing this, Xiao Mo understood–this man was simply jealous.

“Xiao Mo, I’m asking you again, to what extent have you searched for Xu Chaomu’s whereabouts?”

Shen Chi glanced at Xiao Mo, his frosty gaze locking onto his face.

Xiao Mo calmly replied, “Mr. Shen, we have been continuously sending people to search; C City has been turned upside down with no trace. The few places Miss Xu frequents, I’ve arranged for people to watch over. As soon as there’s any news, we will know immediately.”

Xiao Mo, having been with Shen Chi for a long time, kept his composure.

Despite knowing that Shen Chi’s men were intent on searching towards Jin City, he had secretly interfered, leading them astray early on.

Shen Chi’s men hadn’t found anyone in several other locations and recently seemed to want to search toward Jin City again.

Jin City was a small place; once they entered, it would be easy to inquire about a foreign woman named Xu Chaomu.

At that point, no matter how well Xu Chaomu hid, it would be impossible to remain concealed.

Before she was ready to meet Shen Chi, he would do his best to keep her hidden.

Moreover, at the moment, Shen Chi and Bai Man’s situation was under intense scrutiny. At such a time, Xu Chaomu would likely find Shen Chi a nuisance.

She was the kind of person who dreaded being entangled in such matters.

“I understand,” Shen Chi said, lightly tapping his fingers on the desk, his face expressionless.

“Then, Mr. Shen, I’ll head out first.”

“Mhm.”

Xiao Mo took one last look at Shen Chi and left the CEO’s office.

He wasn’t sure if Shen Chi suspected anything, but it seemed that for some time he couldn’t go to Jin City–it was better to be cautious.

Conveniently, he could use the excuse of participating in charity work to help Xu Chaomu with her child, a genuinely proper reason.

…

The next day was Saturday. Shen Chi drove to the restaurant where he had arranged to meet Bai Man with the contract ready.

It was precisely seven o’clock in the evening. C City was bustling, especially the area Bai Man had selected, which was in the busy downtown. High-end restaurants, bars, and hotels surrounded the area… The lighting was bright and dazzling.

Outside a restaurant, Shen Chi parked his car.

The fountain at the entrance, under the reflection of the lights, emitted a rainbow’s glow. Water droplets burst forth, falling one by one into the pool, with some spilling over the edge.

As a melodious music played, Shen Chi parked his car and followed a waiter to where Bai Man was seated.

Bai Man spotted Shen Chi instantly and smiled, “You’re here.”

“You got here early?”

“No, I just arrived as well.”

“That’s good, I’m not late today,” Shen Chi said with a curve of his lips.

“It’s not a big deal if you’re late for dinner; your work is important. If there was something urgent, you could’ve called me–I’m not unreasonable,” Bai Man said.

“I know you’re understanding, but I can’t neglect you either. Today is Saturday, I don’t have anything else to do.”

Saying so, Shen Chi took out a box from his bag and handed it to Bai Man.

“A gift for you. Take a look, see if you like it.”

“Shen Chi…” Bai Man said playfully, “You’re being too polite. Just for a meal, and you even brought me a gift; how could I accept this. The lilies you gave me last time, I loved them so much, I’ve kept them in my bedroom, admiring them every day.”

“As long as you like them,” Shen Chi said with a smile.

Bai Man opened the gift box and inside was an exquisitely crafted, red women’s wallet, stylish in design.

“Wow,” Bai Man’s eyes sparkled with surprise, “So beautiful, the craftsmanship is really fine.”

Bai Man knew that anything given by Shen Chi was bound to be expensive, definitely much more so than the tie she had given him.
