If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1056 - Chapter 1056 Chapter 1056 Is a Grown Man Still Afraid of Me

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Is a Grown Man Still Afraid of Me Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Is a Grown Man Still Afraid of Me “These terms look very enticing and come with rich benefits, but in reality, Xiao Mo has set traps that only industry experts could detect.”

By the time Bai Man found someone who could understand them, it was already too late–the contracts had been signed and were in effect.

Xiao Mo had been busy with this matter, and the relationship between Shen Chi and Bai Man remained very “close”, almost always dining together and meeting frequently.

However, Shen Chi had been claiming he had a back injury and had not touched Bai Man.

Xiao Mo truly admired Shen Chi’s acting, who could come up with any excuse and even had the doctor prescribe medicine for bruises, which he even took in front of Bai Man.

Of course, the medicine he took in front of Bai Man was nothing more than vitamins.

Such a clever man couldn’t possibly be really taking medicine.

Xiao Mo was satisfied, after all, Shen Chi had done nothing to betray Xu Chaomu.

Recently, he had to go on a business trip to A City, and he could visit Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu had been assigned to A City by her company and had been there for half a month already. During this time, Xia Chuqing had gone back to school to take an exam and in a few days would be returning for summer vacation.

The collaborators kept finding various excuses, dissatisfied, making Xu Chaomu revise the proposal over and over!

Xu Chaomu had no choice but to revise and revise!

No matter how much she revised, they were never satisfied.

Continuing to temper her patience, Xu Chaomu revised the proposals again and again, thankful that these people at least possessed some humanity and paid her a daily allowance of three hundred yuan.

Xu Chaomu thought that big companies were better; they only wanted high-quality work and did not care about money.

Actually, she had no idea that the money was arranged by Xiao Mo.

That day, Xiao Mo flew from C City to A City.

The weather was clear, and the intense sunlight beamed directly onto the earth, causing the grass leaves to droop listlessly.

Wearing a deep blue shirt, Xiao Mo blended into the crowd but still stood out.

Before boarding the plane, he faintly felt someone watching him.

After getting on the plane, he noticed that two pairs of eyes were still fixated on him.

He scanned his surroundings alertly but didn’t recognize anyone or spot anything suspicious.

He settled into his seat, withdrew his gaze, and prepared to close his eyes and rest.

But just as he closed his eyes, suddenly, he detected a peculiar scent, the aroma of GD House’s latest perfume.

He hadn’t planned to pay it any attention, as it was common to sit next to a beautiful woman.

Sometimes, even if not seated next to a beauty directly, women often swapped seats with someone next to him to be closer to him.

However, the fragrance lingered, as if right under his nose.

Unable to resist, Xiao Mo opened his eyes, but as soon as he did, a beautiful face appeared right above his.

“What are you doing?!” Xiao Mo snapped coldly.

“Ah!” Startled by his shout, the girl’s hand trembled, and the coffee in her hand spilled a little right onto Xiao Mo’s black trousers!

“Why are you screaming, as if I, a grown man, am afraid you might sexually harass me? I’m not even interested,” the girl huffed coldly, wiping the coffee cup’s exterior and her hands with a tissue before continuing to drink her coffee.

“Xia Chuqing?” Xiao Mo frowned.

“That’s me,” Xia Chuqing responded gruffly, “at least your eyes still work.”

“Give me the tissue!” Xiao Mo glared at her, snatched a tissue from her hand, and quickly wiped down his trousers.

It was summer, and the sticky liquid that had spilled on his trousers was uncomfortable, and to add, it emitted a strong coffee scent.

At that moment, Xiao Mo truly felt like strangling the girl who was still leisurely sipping her coffee.

Xiao Mo’s face looked terrible, gloomy like the sky in June that could change at any moment, his thin lips were tightly pursed, showing not a hint of a smile.

“Should I help you wipe it? I’m really sorry, truly sorry, but you really overreacted just now, as if I was going to do something terrible to you.”

Although Xia Chuqing said this, her hands didn’t move; she wasn’t about to help him wipe it off.

“Get lost, go back to your own seat,” Xiao Mo coldly glared at her.

“Sorry about that, unfortunately, I’m just seated next to you.” Xia Chuqing took a sip of coffee and placed her bag on her lap.

“Did you do this on purpose?”

“Sir, that’s not fair of you to say, what evidence do you have that I did this on purpose? Besides, I don’t have any motive to commit such a crime.”

“Can’t be bothered with you,” Xiao Mo did not want to argue with her.

However, because of the coffee spilled on his pants, Xiao Mo was not feeling well.

Xia Chuqing sat down in her seat and deliberately looked at Xiao Mo several times.

As expected, Xiao Mo ignored her, his eyes fixed on the window, unmoving, and his whole body emitted a ‘keep away from me’ vibe.

“Sir, don’t we know each other? How about we chat?”

“…”

“Sir, would you like a cup of coffee? Although the coffee on this plane is really terrible, you probably won’t like it.”

“…”

“Sir, you look a little unwell, are you sick?”

“Just get away from me now!” Xiao Mo couldn’t take it anymore and snapped.

“How fierce,” Xia Chuqing laughed.

Xiao Mo stared coldly at her, he was very clear in his heart, this Xia Chuqing, isn’t she just seeking revenge for what happened previously in Jin City?

Xia Chuqing remained indifferent and instead smiled playfully at him. After all, he couldn’t do anything to her.

Xiao Mo fiercely glared at her a couple of times before he looked away.

“The journey is long, don’t you want to speak to me at all? Maybe… we can talk about Sister Chaomu,” Xia Chuqing teased intentionally.

She wasn’t a fool, during her time in Jin City, she noticed that this man had a special look whenever he saw Xu Chaomu.

Xiao Mo closed his eyes, silent.

“Boring,” Xia Chuqing rolled her eyes at him, “How did I end up sitting next to you? Bad luck.”

Xiao Mo held his temper, not uttering a word.

As a result, Xia Chuqing kept talking the whole way.

She occasionally whispered a few words into Xiao Mo’s ear, the more he didn’t want to listen, the more she wanted to speak.

Xiao Mo endured it all the way, not speaking a word to her.

Xia Chuqing was curious, how could someone have such good patience? Is he a stone?

Finally, unable to bear it anymore, as soon as the plane landed, Xiao Mo walked quickly.

“Hey, wait for me, we’re friends after all,” Xia Chuqing thought this man was trying to get rid of her, otherwise, why walk so fast?

Xia Chuqing chased after him, and just as she was about to catch up with Xiao Mo, he suddenly kicked a small stone in front of her.

“Ah!” Xia Chuqing tripped, losing her balance and lunging forward!

However, thankfully she was trained, after a few scrambling steps, she steadied herself!

But by then, Xiao Mo had already walked far ahead and disappeared into the crowd.

Xia Chuqing looked around angrily, but Xiao Mo was nowhere to be seen.
