If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1041 - Chapter 1041 Chapter 1041 Im Waiting for You in Bed

Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: I’m Waiting for You in Bed Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041: I’m Waiting for You in Bed “I also hope we will have a pleasant collaboration,” Shen Chi said, curling his lips.

Bai Man suddenly hooked his neck and whispered, “Not just in business, what do you say?”

Her implication was clear–in bed as well.

“Exactly,” Shen Chi replied, a smile forming at the corners of his lips, his voice gentle, “But with so many people in the restaurant right now, you should probably take your hand down, alright?”

Pouting, Bai Man then said petulantly, “Alright, I know.”

She dropped her arms, and only then did Shen Chi straighten his shirt. When he lifted his arms, the scent of Bai Man’s perfume filled the air, and he frowned in disgust.

However, what he displayed before Bai Man was still an elegant gentleman, calm and composed.

He accompanied Bai Man in drinking a few more glasses of wine. He seemed to show signs of drunkenness, but he knew he wouldn’t get drunk.

The two of them stayed in the restaurant drinking until nearly eleven o’clock when Shen Chi finally helped Bai Man into the car.

Throughout the evening, Bai Man had been gazing at him quite intently, constantly talking nonstop.

Shen Chi didn’t like women who were drunk because once they were, most lost all their grace. His aversion was especially strong towards Bai Man.

And at this moment, his mind kept circling back to Bai Man’s words: “I took care of that child for you in advance.”

“Took care of…”

Thinking about this, Shen Chi’s eyes were filled with cold severity and chill, his body radiating an icy aura, like the biting winds in the deep of winter. A single look held a deadly force.

Especially when that gaze fell on Bai Man.

Shen Chi took her to a hotel near the restaurant. Bai Man clung to his clothes, not letting him leave.

“Don’t go, don’t go… you promised to stay with me tonight…” Bai Man’s eyes were brimming with desire.

“I won’t leave,” Shen Chi coaxed, “When have you ever seen me break a promise?”

“That’s good,” Bai Man said, clutching at Shen Chi, holding on tightly for fear he would slip away.

Under the influence of alcohol, her body was restless and overheating, especially when she was around Shen Chi, constantly rubbing against him.

“We are still in the elevator,” Shen Chi reminded her.

Bai Man’s behavior was quite indecorous, and today she had deliberately worn a low-cut dress. Its straps kept falling down, exposing much of her decolletage.

Shen Chi felt no interest in Bai Man, having seen enough women like her before, his eyes fixated only on the numbers lighting up in the elevator.

On the contrary, Bai Man kept wrapping her arms around Shen Chi’s, as if to hold him tight.

Soon, they reached the room they had booked.

Once Shen Chi had gotten Bai Man into the room and shut the door, she threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Shen Chi pushed her away, “Let me take a shower first.”

“No need for a shower…” Bai Man murmured, “We can shower after…”

Her hands began to undo the buttons on Shen Chi’s shirt, but he caught her hands, stopping her from proceeding.

The next second, he said seriously, “I’m not in the habit of not showering.”

She laughed at his prissy manner, “Alright then, go shower. I’ll wait for you in bed.”

At that moment, Shen Chi’s cellphone rang.

Bai Man retracted her hand voluntarily, but she couldn’t help but curiously peer at Shen Chi’s phone to see who was calling.

Seeing the name “Xiao Mo,” she felt relieved.

“Take the call,” Bai Man said understandingly.

She was flushed from drinking too much that night, her hair tousled over her shoulders. Her peach blossom eyes sparkled, her gaze fixed on Shen Chi.

As Shen Chi answered the phone, Bai Man, feeling hot and unconcerned with modesty, simply took off her dress and changed into her nightwear.

“Hello, Xiao Mo.”

“Mr. Shen, I’ve found Miss Xu, and I’ve given her your divorce agreement,” Xiao Mo said.

He had also just received a text message from Shen Chi, knowing what Shen Chi was up to; he needed to cooperate with Shen Chi to put on an act.

In the text, he had learned that Bai Man had already signed the contract; it was only missing the stamp.

“Did she sign?” Shen Chi asked.

“She did.”

“Didn’t she say anything?”

“She cursed you out and demanded a huge sum in compensation,” Xiao Mo said purposefully.

Just then, Bai Man had changed into her pajamas and came close to Shen Chi, overhearing this sentence.

Hmm? Shen Chi has found Xu Chaomu? Good, let that woman see how loving they are now, and later… take a few bed photos to show her.

“How much money does she want?”

“One billion.”

“Heh, quite the appetite, tell her to get lost!”

“I will continue to negotiate with her.”

“One billion is out of the question, but I might consider ten thousand,” Shen Chi joked.

Hearing this, Bai Man also giggled and whispered, “Where’s it worth ten thousand? A hundred bucks would be too much.”

“Do you hear that? Even a hundred bucks is too much,” Shen Chi said deliberately.

Xiao Mo heard it, not only did he hear it, but it seemed that Bai Man and Shen Chi were rather close.

This Shen Chi, he couldn’t be getting carried away with this act, could he?

If he dares to do anything, Xiao Mo would be the first to chop him.

“Yes, Mr. Shen, I understand. I will follow your wishes and try not to give… a single penny.”

“If not, get a lawyer,” Shen Chi said, “She bears another man’s child behind my back, and now she dares to demand compensation from me? If you can’t handle such a trivial matter, don’t bother coming to work. Tell her we can see each other in court if need be; I, Shen Chi, am not as kind-hearted as she imagines.”

“Alright, I understand. I’ll settle it quickly, and if all else fails, I’ll get a lawyer to talk to her.”

“Don’t disturb me again,” Shen Chi said sternly.

“Okay.”

It was then that Shen Chi finally hung up the phone.

With one singing and the other echoing, Bai Man didn’t see any hint of what was really going on; she thought it was all true.

These two were used to dealing with all kinds on the business field; handling Bai Man required only a fraction of their skill.

Bai Man hugged his waist and laughed, “This woman wants a billion as a break-up fee? Has she lost her mind? Is she worth a billion?”

“Some people are just that delusional. You’re right, and I wasn’t wrong either, she’s just greedy for the Shen Family’s wealth.”

“You don’t think I’m also after the Shen Family’s wealth, do you?” Bai Man whispered.

“Of course you’re not.”

Bai Man laughed too, “Good to know, I truly love you.”

Shen Chi then said, “It’s fortunate her child is gone; if the child were here, she would probably want that bastard to get a share too. So… I have to thank you.”

“It’s nothing; I had seen through her a long time ago, so I played this hand. I had someone put abortion-inducing drugs in the milk…” Bai Man laughed, “I wanted to give you a surprise.”

“I really should thank you; it saves me the trouble.”

“We both can’t stand her, since we both can’t stand her, there’s no need for thanks,” Bai Man laughed again, “I guess you were fed up too? But I heard that Xu Chaomu really treasured that little bastard.”
