Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: She is Petty Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: She is Petty He has always been aloof and indifferent to others. However, it seed like sothing was on his mind today, and he drank quite a lot.
During that ti, he also ntioned, “Chaomu, that woman, is very willful…”
When she was pregnant, she frequently lost her temper at him.
As Shen Chi said this, Bai Man asked again, “Mr. Shen, you’re drunk, let take you ho. It’s getting late.”
Shen Chi waved his hand, “I am not drunk.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Man was even more convinced that Shen Chi was indeed drunk. However, there’s a saying that drunken words are sober thoughts, so perhaps what Shen Chi said was the truth.
Bai Man sighed, went to get him a cup of sobering tea, and said softly, “Chaomu is young and immature. You spoil her so much that she naturally thinks you can’t live without her, which leads her to lose her temper. However, pregnant won are more sensitive, so don’t bla her. It’s normal to get a bit moody.”
“You’re speaking on her behalf…” Shen Chi shook his head.
He didn’t touch the sobering tea but picked up another glass of red wine from the table and took a big gulp.
“What else can I do?” Bai Man smiled gracefully and gently, “Chaomu’s child has already been born. Don’t be angry with her anymore, just bear with it a little.”
“There’s nothing left to endure.” Shen Chi frowned, “If there were even a slight reason to keep tolerating, I would indulge her. It’s one thing for her to have a bad temper, but what about her lingering connection with another man… Sorry, I misspoke.”
Shen Chi took another large sip of wine, suppressing the resentnt in his heart.
Bai Man stood up, walked over to him, bent down, and gently comforted him, “Maybe you’re overthinking it. Chaomu isn’t like that. Or perhaps, you saw it wrong. With Chaomu being pregnant and giving birth, you should be more understanding. Won are not easy.”
Throughout this conversation, Bai Man kept her eyes on Shen Chi.
As she drew near, she slled that familiar scent of vegetation on him, and her heart stirred abruptly.
“Not everyone is as well-read and reasonable as you.” Shen Chi said flatly.
“I haven’t really interacted with Chaomu for a long ti, but I know she’s still kind-hearted. Sigh… However, having too bad of a temper isn’t good.” Bai Man sighed.
Shen Chi remained silent and continued drinking.
“By the way, Mr. Shen, I saw in the newspaper yesterday that you went to T Bar with a forr close friend of mine. She’s actually quite nice. You could try making friends.” Bai Man probed.
“She’s not as good as you in any aspect.” Shen Chi said.
“Mr. Shen, that’s too much praise for . My friend graduated from Cambridge and I don’t have such high academic credentials. In the field of performing arts, she can play many musical instrunts, there’s virtually none she isn’t proficient in. She really is amazing; I am inferior to her. You have a good eye, Mr. Shen.” Bai Man said.
Shen Chi just hooked up the corner of his lips, saying nothing.
Seeing that Shen Chi was indeed drunk, Bai Man supported his arm and said, “Mr. Shen, let take you ho. We can chat another day.”
“Mm.” Shen Chi responded.
Under the lights, his eyebrows slightly furrowed and his handso face with its sharp contours had a touch of coldness.
Bai Man supported him, standing very close to him, as if everything around them had co to a halt. She felt like she could hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
She supported him as they slowly left the restaurant.
It was already 11:30 PM. The sumr night breeze felt warm on the skin, evoking countless mories.
A stir in her heart made Bai Man recall many mories with him from five years ago.
“Shen Chi…” Bai Man called out to him and smiled, “Do you rember? Back when we were still in school, there was one ti I asked you out for dinner, also in the sumr, at this sa restaurant. Do you rember?”
Shen Chi moved his lips but did not speak.
Bai Man continued, “You don’t know how much I liked you back then… that ti, I had a bit of alcohol, and then you told , ‘Girls shouldn’t drink.’ After that, I didn’t dare to drink anymore, I really listened to you.”
Bai Man stopped in her tracks, sowhat reluctant to see Shen Chi get into the car. She wanted to walk with him a little longer.
“I rember,” Shen Chi said softly, his tone light and his speech slow.
It was just two words, but upon hearing them, Bai Man felt a surge of joy in her heart.
He still rembers…
Could it be that he actually hasn’t forgotten her? Moreover, he had said many good things about her that evening…
She rembered, five years ago, he had praised her for being well-read and sensible.
Moreover, she could tell that he seed quite annoyed with Xu Chaomu now.
But all this, Bai Man dared not speculate too much. It seed, she needed to invite Shen Chi out for als more often.
“Shen Chi…” Bai Man said softly, “that incident on the cruise ship five years ago, it was my fault, I lost control. These past five years, I’ve been remorseful every mont, I was too selfish. So, over these years, whether abroad or dostically, I’ve been doing charity work to alleviate so of the pressure in my heart.”
As Bai Man spoke, her eyes reddened and she started to sob softly.
“Human nature,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
“No, it was my fault…” Bai Man said, “these days, I’ve been planning to initiate so charity fundraising in several cities around C City. I visited a few orphanages and welfare hos, and I found so children who are very pitiful, without parents. Thankfully, it’s sumr now, it would be even harder if it were winter.”
Bai Man continued with her thoughts, “But even though it’s sumr, they are struggling with supplies and dicines. I’ve already asked my assistant to buy many necessities. Shen Chi… if you’re interested, could you co with ?”
“We’ll talk about it later,” Shen Chi replied.
“Okay… I know Shen’s does charity work every year, I lack experience in this area, so I might ask for your advice later.”
“We can’t talk about advice…”
“Then we’ll et another day, I’ll drive you ho.”
“I’ll call the driver,” Shen Chi said.
“That’s fine; I won’t go over then. It’s late, and if Chaomu finds out, she might throw a tantrum at you again.”
“She’s just petty, judging others by her own asure, and her jealousy is strong.”
“You really can’t tell… Ah…” Bai Man sighed, “If you have any troubles, don’t keep them to yourself.”
“I’ll look at the proposal carefully,” Shen Chi said.
“Thank you.”
Bai Man watched Shen Chi get into his car, even though she hated to part ways.
“Rember to call the driver,” Bai Man said.
“I know, you take it slow on the drive.”
“Okay, sure!” Bai Man nodded her head.
Shen Chi took out his phone and called Xiaogao, while Bai Man did not leave, standing next to Shen Chi’s car.
But Shen Chi urged her several tis to go ho and rest, and only then did she reluctantly leave and headed to her own car.
Tonight, Bai Man found Shen Chi really had drunk a lot, and he had said quite a bit to her, probably really upset by that woman, Xu Chaomu.
