Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: I Really Like You So Much Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: I Really Like You So Much “The maroon color is my favorite; you actually rembered,” Bai Man said joyfully as she opened the wallet.
She was extrely satisfied with the wallet, a custom piece from an Italian workshop—only soone like Shen Chi could have such clout.
“Wait a mont, I have another surprise for you,” Shen Chi said with a smile.
“Hm? You shouldn’t have; it’s not necessary,” Bai Man put the wallet away, “I’m already so happy that you could co. Besides, it’s Saturday today; I just hope you can spend more ti with .”
“A gift for a beauty is not for just anyone; I don’t usually give them out,” Shen Chi said.
“President Shen, you really know how to sweet-talk soone.” Bai Man felt her ears heat up at his words; she hadn’t expected this man to be so charming.
She adored the wallet so much that she couldn’t bear to put it down. After admiring it several tis, she finally tucked it away.
“From now on, seeing this wallet will be like seeing you; that makes so happy,” Bai Man said.
“Still, it’s better to see the person than the wallet; you can’t imagine what I look like just by looking at it.”
“That’s only if you’re willing to spend ti with ,” Bai Man pouted.
“From now on, I’ll make every effort to find the ti.”
“You an it?”
“Of course,” Shen Chi said, the corners of his lips curling into a modest smile.
Bai Man was over the moon. She cherished the wallet and rested her cheek on her hand while gazing at Shen Chi.
Under the slightly dim lighting, Shen Chi’s face appeared even more handso and composed, his deep eyes filled with unending tenderness and sweetness.
Bai Man had never before seen such gentleness in this man’s eyes—it was intoxicating.
Soon after, the waiter brought over the red wine and dishes, all previously ordered by Bai Man.
“Shen Chi, try these and see if they suit your taste. I rember these are your favorites,” Bai Man said.
“Hm.”
His favorites were… certain als cooked by soone else; even though they were not delicious, they were the most moving delicacies in the world.
And now, even a feast of the finest delicacies couldn’t arouse much interest in him.
“The food is good; you still rember what I like,” Shen Chi said, looking at Bai Man with a light laugh.
“How could I forget? Not just your favorite foods, but your clothing and shoe sizes, I know them all, as well as what you don’t like eating—you na it,” Bai Man gazed back at him.
Their eyes t—Shen Chi’s deep and stable, Bai Man’s afla with passion.
Unabashed, she loved staring at Shen Chi, never getting enough.
She missed him so much these past few days.
Having finally managed to arrange a eting with him today, how could she not take the opportunity to look at him a little longer?
“You’ve put thought into it,” Shen Chi said.
“Hearing a complint from you feels worth it,” Bai Man laughed.
With that, she picked up her glass and had a drink with Shen Chi.
“These past few days, have you been doing charity work?” Shen Chi asked.
“Yes, I visited welfare hos, orphanages, and so animal protection associations. My dad keeps a close eye and isn’t very happy about going to these places. But you don’t know, he went abroad these days and won’t be back for half a month, so he can’t control ,” Bai Man explained.
“You’re so charitable; maybe next ti I’ll give Dabai to you to take care of,” Shen Chi laughed.
But, what he paid attention to was Bai Xuan leaving the country, not due back for half a month.
It seed that the advance information he received was correct; Bai Xuan wouldn’t return any ti soon.
“Sure, I promise to keep Dabai chubby and white,” Bai Man said.
“If Dabai isn’t fat and white, you’ll be the only one to bla,” Shen Chi joked.
“Of course. You can trust , and I’ll hand over a chubby, white Dabai to you. I’ve missed that dog for a long ti and really want to see him.”
“You can visit it if you miss it.”
“Really?”
“Why not?” Shen Chi replied.
Bai Man was thrilled, very pleased, “That’s wonderful. I do miss him, and I’ll visit whenever I have the chance. That dog has such a presence; I really like it.”
Shen Chi just smiled with a curved lip, sipped his drink, and didn’t say much more.
The conversation drifted, and naturally, the topic turned to Gu Xiuting.
Shen Chi didn’t ntion anything, pretending to be unaware.
It was Bai Man who brought it up: “Shen Chi… you must have heard the recent news about and Gu Xiuting calling off our engagent.”
“Hm? Called off the engagent? I’ve been busy with several projects these days and didn’t pay attention to such news,” Shen Chi said.
“You don’t care about ,” Bai Man pouted.
“It’s not that I don’t care about you; I’ve just been too busy to look at gossip,” Shen Chi apologized.
“Alright, alright, I know you’re busy, I don’t bla you. Now that I’ve broken off my engagent with Gu Xiuting, I’m free again, not the ‘married woman’ you referred to,” Bai Man said, “So now, do you think I’m eligible to have dinner with you?”
“Are you joking?”
“Shen Chi… you don’t know how much I really like you,” Bai Man gazed at him, her eyes unwavering, “To spend more ti with you, to not give people sothing to talk about, I broke off my engagent. It won’t cause you any trouble.”
“I’m at a loss for how to repay your kindness.”
“Look at you, I’m doing this because I want to. But what about you, do you like ?” Bai Man asked softly, looking for his response.
She was waiting for his answer, content with just one response.
“Like or not, actions speak louder than words, don’t they?” Shen Chi responded with a question of his own.
“Hm?” Bai Man was montarily confused, her brow lightly furrowed.
“I didn’t expect you to break off your engagent. When I argued at the board eting yesterday, I had secured this project for you,” Shen Chi said nonchalantly.
“Really?!” Bai Man was delighted, her heart pounding, “Thank you. I didn’t expect you to be so concerned about my little matter. I’m truly grateful.”
“How can this be a small matter.” Shen Chi’s face was serious, “The things you repeatedly entrusted to are important in my heart. It just took a few repeated explanations of the strengths and innovations in your proposal before the old sticklers on the board finally gave in.”
“I don’t know how to thank you enough; I’m so moved,” Bai Man looked down, her face showing a shy expression.
She truly hadn’t expected the partnership to co through. After all, being in a win-win situation was rare, sothing she had only hoped for.
It seed Shen Chi was serious about developing sothing with her. Otherwise, why would such a good thing fall into the lap of an outsider?
And if she were his wife… it would be like keeping resources within the family.
“I, too, have faith in your proposal and look forward to our companies’ partnership,” Shen Chi said earnestly.
Bai Man smiled, “I understand, I get it. Then I really should toast to you; I’m very grateful.”
The two clinked their glasses, with Bai Man’s joy evident on her face.
After nearly an hour of drinking, Bai Man felt a warm buzz and was faintly intoxicated.
