Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Get Rid of That Child Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Get Rid of That Child Shen Chi remained silent, merely taking a sip of red wine.

Bai Man was probably heartened by the sight of the contract, drinking more and more, and she became more talkative.

Seeing that Shen Chi didn’t speak, she assumed he agreed and felt very pleased, inevitably saying a few more words.

“That woman, she’s actually very cunning, knowing she’s nothing, if she could establish herself in the Shen Family, it’s like having security for life. So, she set her sights on you, desperately trying to climb into your bed, just thinking that you’d fancy her, allowing her to become the wife of the Fourth Young Master.”

Shen Chi casually echoed, “Hmm, it was also after getting married that I discovered, she’s indeed very calculating.”

“So, you were fooled,” Bai Man chuckled lightly, “What were you thinking at the time? To marry her?”

Bai Man looked at Shen Chi, her intoxicated eyes eager for Shen Chi’s response.

“Man, no matter how smart, can be deceived. Isn’t there a saying? ‘The wise may err once despite their thoughts.'” Shen Chi said.

“You’re right, the young girls these days are more ruthless than anyone,” Bai Man smiled, “She got her wish, too. After breaking up, you must have given her a hefty sum as a breakup fee, right? That money is enough for her to live on for several lifetimes, isn’t it?”

“Mmm,” Shen Chi responded indifferently.

“She made a profit, the money given by Shen Chi won’t be a small amount. Moreover, she even cuckolded you, flirting with the Crown Prince of the Feili Group,” Bai Man said, “Truly indecent.”

Shen Chi kept his composure, his eyes deep.

It took a while before he took another sip of wine, his eyebrows tightly furrowed as he coldly chuckled, “You’re right, heh, that child is indeed Nie Chenglang’s, having been to bed with another man, yet she dares to deceive me, Shen Chi.”

“Men hate this the most, I understand your feelings,” Bai Man reached out, gently caressing Shen Chi’s brow and eyes, “Don’t be too upset, in any case, her child is gone now, saving you the discomfort of daily facing her and someone else’s child. She, well, she planned to use the child of another man to deceive you out of the Shen Family’s fortune.”

“It’s good that her child is gone, otherwise, even if she had given birth, I would have found someone to strangle it.”

Hearing this, Bai Man laughed, a hint of smugness on her face.

She took a sip of wine, looking at Shen Chi and said, “Is that really what you think?”

“What do you think? Her intention couldn’t be clearer, if not to have that child inherit my, Shen Chi’s, family business in the future,” Shen Chi said coldly.

Seeing that Shen Chi was very angry, she smiled and said, “Then you should thank me.”

“Hmm?”

“I took care of that child in advance for you,” Bai Man laughed seductively and enticingly.

She was too drunk; at that moment, she didn’t notice that Shen Chi had covertly pressed a recording button on his wristwatch.

“The child had a congenital disease,” Shen Chi said indifferently, dismissing the thought.

“She was conned by the doctor, because, you see, that Doctor Li was my man,” Bai Man hooked Shen Chi’s face with her finger.

At that moment, a fierce flame seemed to burn in Shen Chi’s heart, but still, his face remained expressionless, cold, and detached.

“Is that so?” He smirked, “Why didn’t you discuss it with me earlier? I’ve been disgusted by Xu Chaomu’s child for a long time, and I’ve been struggling without a chance, dragging on for months.”

“You ignored me…” Bai Man pouted.

“In public, we always have to keep some distance, don’t we? Who knew if you were serious,” Shen Chi said.

“You’re right; President Shen sure is being watched by a lot of media.” While talking, Bai Man’s hand wrapped around Shen Chi’s waist.

This time, Shen Chi did not push her away.

However, the faint scent of her perfume made him very uncomfortable, his brow remained furrowed.

“It’s good that you understand,” Shen Chi said.

“What about later, will you be still so distant with me later on?” Bai Man said coquettishly.

“Afterwards, we’re both single, what could keep us from being together? How about we get better acquainted tonight? Hmm?” Shen Chi touched her face.

Bai Man was truly delighted by his words.

Her heart thumped vigorously; she patted Shen Chi’s hand and chided him playfully, “You’re so annoying…”

Shen Chi had always had a handsome face, and coupled with his suggestive words, Bai Man was completely defenseless.

This man was naturally a woman’s nemesis.

She had also drunk a bit too much and, at this moment, had let down all her guard around Shen Chi.

She leaned against Shen Chi, longing to snuggle up to him.

But then, Shen Chi gently pushed her away and placed the contract in front of her, “It’s best to keep the contract safe, especially in a place with so many prying eyes. Don’t lose it.”

Bai Man agreed that Shen Chi had a point and lifted her head from beside him.

She casually flipped through a few pages and saw that Shen Chi had already signed where he needed to.

“Look here, you need to sign in these areas, and in these spots, you need the Bai Family’s authorization seal,” Shen Chi instructed.

Bai Man was busy nodding, “Mhm… I’ll sign now… For the seal… I’ll have to get it from my dad’s office.”

“Are you sure you can handle it? Why not go back to the hotel and rest for the night, then have a clear look at the terms tomorrow morning before signing?” Shen Chi cautioned.

“I’m not drunk, I’m really not drunk. I’ll read them to you…” Bai Man read a few clauses.

“If you think you’re sober, then go ahead and sign,” Shen Chi said helplessly.

“It’s really okay, I’m not drunk,” Bai Man chuckled, “Besides, I trust you with the way you handle things.”

“I can’t argue with you.”

“Pen… May I borrow a pen, do you have one?”

Bai Man was eager to sign the contract because she feared Shen Chi might change his mind or that the board might have second thoughts. The contract was all benefit and no harm.

And besides, she quickly glanced over it and the terms seemed very standard; she had often reviewed contracts before.

Bai Man had no suspicions at all; the fact that Shen Chi had secured this project for her was a tremendous honor in itself.

“I didn’t bring a pen with me, I’ll get one for you if you insist on signing tonight.”

Saying this, Shen Chi asked a waiter for a pen.

Although he said that, in his heart, he was eager for Bai Man to sign as soon as possible.

Once it was signed and sealed, the contract would become effective.

He wasn’t worried that the contract would reveal any issues, unless it was scrutinized by an industry expert.

And since this was a project Bai Man had signed independently with him, eager to prove herself and to win his favor, she certainly wouldn’t let many people review the contract.

Thus, Shen Chi remained calm, ready to provide whatever she asked for.

Bai Man took the pen and signed her name wherever required.

There were quite a few places that needed signatures, and she signed them all.

Once finished, she beamed at Shen Chi, “All done, I’ll take it back with me, and the seal will be affixed tomorrow.”

“No rush.”

“You’ve gone to so much trouble to secure this for me, so I’ve got to show proper diligence. Once I’ve added the seal, I’ll personally bring it to you,” Bai Man said with a smile as she leaned on his shoulder.

Being close to this man, she inhaled his familiar scent once more.

“I can tell, you’ve put a lot of effort into this,” Shen Chi remarked.

“I can’t let your kindness go to waste.”
