If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1046 - Chapter 1046 Chapter 1046 Has Something Happened

Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: Has Something Happened? Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: Has Something Happened? “Last night, Bai Man really had too much to drink and her mind wasn’t very sharp; her courage was even greater, daring to order me around,” Shen Chi thought to himself, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo’s lips curled into a sneer.

Bai Man was too smug, and she probably needed to taste what it felt like to fall from a high place and be shattered to pieces.

In the morning, Xiao Mo hastily slept for just three or four hours before being woken by a phone call.

It was Xu Chaomu.

“Xiao Mo… I’m not happy,” Xu Chaomu mumbled.

“What’s wrong?”

“The company suddenly sent me on a business trip, and I’ve arrived in A City. They assigned the task at night, and I didn’t have anyone to look after Wealth,” Xu Chaomu said anxiously.

“Did you prepare dog food for it?”

“Yes, but that’s not enough.”

“Don’t worry, how many days will you be gone?” Xiao Mo feigned ignorance as he asked.

“They’re saying a week now, but if there are still issues with the partner after a week, I’ll need to extend the stay,” Xu Chaomu said anxiously, “What about my Wealth, what should I do…”

“It’s fine, I have friends in Jin City, I’ll ask someone to check on him.”

“That’s good, I’ll feel reassured if it’s your friend. I didn’t leave the key, just find a locksmith to open the door.”

“Okay, don’t worry about it, leave it to me. Everything will be fine.”

“Yeah, thank you, Xiao Mo. I really didn’t expect the company to assign me this task suddenly and it’s quite an important one.”

“A City is quite far, be careful on your own.”

“Don’t worry about that, have you forgotten? I have a friend in A City,” Xu Chaomu laughed.

For a moment, Xiao Mo couldn’t recall that Xu Chaomu had friends in another city.

“I knew you’d forget. Xia Chuqing, Chuqing!” Xu Chaomu chirped, “She’s actually going back to A City for a few days to do some research, so I called her.”

“Well, that’s fortuitous. Having her look after you, I’ll rest easy.”

“Yeah, don’t worry. It’s just that I’m quite concerned about my Wealth.”

“Wealth will be under my care. You just enjoy a few more days in A City.”

“Alright…” Xu Chaomu nodded, “Is there any news from C City?”

“Nothing new. You know I’m not into gossip. However, Weiwei is about to have her baby.”

“Really?” Xu Chaomu was delighted but quickly a shadow of sadness crossed her eyes, “It’s a pity, I can’t go back to be with her. I promised to give her baby a red envelope…”

Her tone carried an evident disappointment and loss. For the time being, she couldn’t return to C City.

“Maybe later.”

“It’ll have to be later,” Xu Chaomu nodded.

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but reminisce about her own baby.

“Chaomu, let me just give my friend in Jin City a call, to have them check on your dog.”

Xu Chaomu gathered her thoughts and nodded, “Okay.”

“Should I hang up then?”

“Yep.”

Xiao Mo hung up and immediately called his friend in Jin City. After having settled things there, he tidied up and headed to Shen Group.

Upon inquiry, he found out that Shen Chi hadn’t shown up for work at the Group.

Xiao Mo smiled, thinking that after dealing with Bai Man until late last night, Shen Chi must not have had a good night’s sleep.

However, what troubled him was whether anything had actually happened between Shen Chi and Bai Man…

To find out, he would have to ask Shen Chi himself.

Once at the Group, he got to work on business matters and meanwhile, kept an ear out for calls with news about Bai Man.

Sure enough, late in the afternoon, just before work was ending, he received a call from Bai Man herself.

“Xiao Mo, do you know where Shen Chi is?” Bai Man asked urgently, “I haven’t been able to reach anyone since our call this morning.”

“Mr. Shen is probably too tired and sleeping. These past few days, as you’ve seen, Miss Bai, have been both tedious and bothersome,” Xiao Mo replied helplessly.

“Ah, I know, I’m just a bit worried about him.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Shen knows his limits. He’ll call you back once he’s rested.”

“Secretary Xiao, I’m sorry, I seem to have said too many things I shouldn’t have when I was drunk last night,” Bai Man apologized, “I didn’t mean to, I really had too much to drink, and my head still hurts this morning.”

“It’s fine, I’ve forgotten all about it.”

“Shen Chi didn’t come to the Group, did he?”

“Right, he didn’t.”

“The contract is all sealed, I’ve signed wherever necessary, it just needs to be handed over to you guys.”

“Oh, you’re referring to the commercial street project, then? Mr. Shen struggled a long time to secure this, many enterprises asked to participate, but Mr. Shen rejected them outright.”

“I know, I’ve witnessed his efforts and I know he truly cares about me.”

“Yes, you should take care of Mr. Shen too, his work is rather exhausting.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him.”

“Regarding the contract, I’ll send someone to collect it, so you don’t have to make the trip. Rest up instead,” suggested Xiao Mo.

“No, no, I’ll deliver it personally. If I find even delivering the contract troublesome, then I truly wouldn’t live up to the effort Shen Chi took to secure this project for me.”

“Then, by all means, deliver it personally, either today or tomorrow is fine.”

“Let’s make it tomorrow then, waiting for Shen Chi to be at the Group.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Mo didn’t show any urgency, although he knew that this matter was indeed very urgent.

Only if Bai Man delivered the contract sooner would he and Shen Chi be able to relax sooner. However, he couldn’t show this urgency.

After hanging up, Xiao Mo continued with his work.

He had people watching Bai Man closely, ready to report any movement to him immediately.

The contract signing was going smoothly; these days, Bai Xuan had not come back.

Xiao Mo knew that Bai Xuan wasn’t easy to fool, and would surely suspect something about Shen Chi’s attitude, because Bai Xuan was cunning and knew Shen Chi’s character like the back of his hand.

From the looks of it, Bai Man must not have told Bai Xuan about the contract signing; probably, Bai Man wanted to surprise Bai Xuan, or perhaps she mentioned it in passing and Bai Xuan didn’t take it seriously.

Otherwise, Bai Xuan would have definitely sent someone to inquire at Shen’s.

This was for the best; the commercial traps within, just with Bai Man and a few regular executives and lawyers, would definitely go unnoticed.

Xiao Mo was still confident about this.

Xiao Mo left work at the normal time today; he didn’t stay late at the Group.

Because he couldn’t let down his guard, he didn’t dare to go to places like bars, and he went straight home.

What he didn’t expect was that shortly after he arrived home, Shen Chi showed up.

“Mr. Shen, what brings you here?” Xiao Mo was taken by surprise and smiled as he went out to greet him.

“I can’t visit?” Shen Chi asked with a smile.
