If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1095 - Chapter 1095 Chapter 1095 Making a Move

Chapter 1095: Chapter 1095: Making a Move Chapter 1095: Chapter 1095: Making a Move Mr. Zhu grabbed her hand tightly, not allowing her to move, and smiled ambiguously, “In business we call it cooperation, the same applies in bed.”

The words were both blunt and explicit, and he was not afraid that Bai Man would take offense.

He knew very well that the effect of his pills was extremely potent. After drinking his wine, Bai Man couldn’t escape the palm of his hand.

Yet Bai Man’s face still displayed some displeasure.

She spoke with mild annoyance, “Mr. Zhu, I respect your character and credibility. If you talk like this, I’m going to be unhappy.”

“Sorry, sorry, Miss Bai, I drank a bit too much. You have to understand, I really like you…” Mr. Zhu held onto her hand, “Forgive me, you know that’s not what I meant…”

Mr. Zhu offered a contrived apology, his face full of sincerity.

Bai Man had been burnt before, so of course she would be cautious.

She laughed and said, “Mr. Zhu, I get it, I understand. There’s no need to explain, I know. But, this wine… we should still drink less of it, too much can damage your health.”

“Drinking wine in the evening enhances the mood, and besides, I am happy today, so I drank a bit more. Miss Bai, after we finish this glass, let’s not drink anymore, how about that?”

Mr. Zhu lifted the wine glass in his hand, and also signaled that Bai Man should finish her drink.

This time, Bai Man showed no hesitation, took a small sip of red wine, tilted the glass to show it was empty, and smiled, “Finished, Mr. Zhu. Let’s talk about the cooperation.”

“No need to talk, just look at your phone.”

“Huh?” Bai Man, puzzled, reached for her phone.

She wasn’t alarmed until she saw the message, and then her face lit up with both shock and delight.

“Mr. Zhu, this…” She happily raised her phone.

“I told you, my sincerity is absolute. My feelings for you, Miss Bai, are genuine.” Mr. Zhu looked earnestly at Bai Man.

Bai Man excitedly stared at the text message on her phone, the full payment of fifty million US Dollars had indeed arrived.

The speed of the transaction made her somewhat suspicious.

“Mr. Zhu, you… as rumored, you’re wealthy.” Bai Man smiled, “Fifty million isn’t a small amount, yet you transferred it just like that.”

“That’s because I trust you, Miss Bai. I’m not worried about you running away, am I?” Mr. Zhu also smiled.

Panic flashed across Bai Man’s face, but she quickly regained her composure, thinking that once three days passed and the attention died down, she could confer with Bai Xuan to return the money.

Then, she would inevitably be scolded–a small matter compared to her funds possibly being frozen and shares seized.

But she absolutely couldn’t admit that she had been deceived by Shen Chi, for if she did, Bai Xuan would kill her!

“Thank you for your trust, Mr. Zhu,” Bai Man said with a smile.

Taking advantage of the moment, Mr. Zhu wrapped his arm around her waist, leaned in, and whispered in her ear, “Is my sincerity enough? If so, perhaps Miss Bai could also show a little bit of hers?”

Bai Man glanced at her phone, seeing the money was there; she certainly couldn’t let herself be thrown into the tiger’s den.

With a seductive smile, she pushed against his chest, “Mr. Zhu, as I’ve mentioned before, the fifty percent profit, how about I give you an extra ten percent?”

“No, I’d rather have ten percent less profit, but I want you.”

At that moment, Mr. Zhu finally revealed his true nature.

He held her waist tightly with one large hand, not letting her move, while his other hand gripped both of hers, raising them above her head.

It must have been the drugs kicking in, for Bai Man found that she had absolutely no strength to resist.

Moreover, given the natural disparity in strength between men and women, it was only at this moment that Bai Man realized something was off!

At the restaurant, although she had consumed alcohol, it wasn’t enough to make her whole body go soft like it had now. She was becoming increasingly weak and felt burning hot all over.

“Mr. Zhu, show some self-respect. We’re only discussing a business deal,” Bai Man said.

“Ever heard of a man and a woman discussing business in a hotel suite?” Mr. Zhu said with a smirk.

He bent down, getting closer to Bai Man’s face.

As he came near her, he caught the hint of her light perfume scent, fresh and delightful, captivating him.

“Besides, Miss Bai, you dressed so beautifully tonight and agreed to come to the hotel to talk. Aren’t you indicating something to me?” Mr. Zhu leaned closer to her face and took the opportunity to plant a kiss on her cheek.

Bai Man’s brow furrowed, and she struggled, “Business is business, I am not the type of person you imagine! Let me go now, and I’ll bring you the contract tomorrow. Then our deal will be considered done.”

“Miss Bai, do you take me for a fool? You think I can’t tell that you’re short on cash?” Mr. Zhu hit the nail on the head. “Otherwise, why would you come to me? Since I’ve given you the money, you’ve got to give something in return, right? These 50 million US Dollars aren’t for nothing.”

Bai Man clenched her teeth, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose you? Refusing to discuss business properly and making your moves here.”

“Well, you’d have to be able to get out of this room first.”

Mr. Zhu wasted no more words; seeing that the drug had taken effect, he forcefully carried Bai Man to the bed.

Of course, Bai Man would not comply. She didn’t want this old and ugly man to have his way with her; there was no way she, Bai Man, would sleep with such a man!

“Let me go, and if necessary, I’ll pay back all the money,” Bai Man said through gritted teeth.

At this moment, she truly loathed Mr. Zhu. Likewise, she loathed Shen Chi just as much.

If not for Shen Chi, she would never have fallen to the point where she had to borrow money from such an old man.

“Miss Bai, you don’t seem like someone unaware of the rules. I lend you 50 million; you spend a night with me, is that a loss for you? At worst, just pay back half of the 50 million,” Mr. Zhu said.

After all, it wasn’t his money to begin with, so now he could say whatever he pleased.

“No, I, Bai Man, am not a person without principles. What’s right is right…” she protested.

But before she could finish her sentence, Mr. Zhu, annoyed, pushed her down onto the bed, kissed her crimson lips, and silenced her words.

Any man would be moved by the beauty in his arms unless there was something wrong with him.

He had no problems, especially since this woman had been the object of his desire for many years.

How high and mighty Bai Man was, dignified and graceful, with countless men willing to spend fortunes for just a smile from her. Now, lying beneath him was something he couldn’t have even dreamed of.

Come to think of it, he really should thank Xiao Mo.

He dared not offend Shen Chi, but from his perspective, Bai Man must have gotten herself involved with Shen Chi.

He didn’t dare to ask too much. Whatever Xiao Mo’s people told him to do, he would do; after all, he was definitely not at a loss in this situation.

And the 50 million US Dollars didn’t require him to contribute a cent.

Bai Man struggled with all her might, but Mr. Zhu forcefully held her down, not allowing her any chance to struggle.

He pressed his lips against hers, forcing Bai Man to kiss him.

The effects of the drug grew stronger, and Bai Man’s limbs became powerless, her body limp, and her entire being felt as though it was burning up in flames, exceptionally hot.
