Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Kiss Me Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Kiss Me Under the crystal chandelier, when she gazed at Shen Chi, her eyes were filled with a hazy and lingering affection.


    She picked up her wine glass and gently swirled the red wine in her hand, smiling at Shen Chi, “Are you drunk? If not, let’s keep drinking. I’m so happy today, you have to promise me, no returning unless we’re drunk.”


    Shen Chi’s expression remained as deep and tranquil as ever. He looked up and glanced at Bai Man.


    “I’m not, we can keep drinking,” Shen Chi replied with a hint of a smile.


    His voice was like a rich cello, slightly hoarse but brimming with an infinite sexiness.


    Bai Man watched his face intently, unknowingly plunging into its depths.


    This man was too outstanding, from any perspective, her choice, Bai Man’s, was indeed excellent.


    “May I sit next to you?” Bai Man pointed to the empty space beside him.


    “Yes.” This time, Shen Chi did not refuse.


    Bai Man remembered how last time at the hotel, he called her a married woman and didn’t even let her through his room door. What about this time? Now that she had broken off her engagement, would he accept her?


    However, at this moment, his agreement to let her sit beside him was already a very good sign.


    At the least, he wasn’t repulsing her at all.


    Bai Man steadied herself on the table and made her way over, leaning on a seven parts drunkenness; as she was about to approach, her foot stumbled, and she plunged toward Shen Chi’s arms.


    But Shen Chi was quick to react; he immediately steadied her, not allowing her to fall into his embrace.


    Bai Man sat next to him and reached out to gently touch his face.


    Similarly, the moment her fingertips were about to touch Shen Chi’s face, he grabbed her wrist and said softly, “There are many people in the restaurant.”


    His meaning was clear, that they shouldn’t be too intimate.


    Bai Man’s lips curved into a smile, “Then… will you take me to the hotel later?”


    “Mhm.”


    Hearing his response, her heart bloomed with joy.


    Nevertheless, she knew Shen Chi’s temperament; in such a situation, she dared not embrace and hug him openly. She simply rested her head on his shoulder.


    She lifted her wine glass, intending to feed him a sip of wine, but Shen Chi frowned and pushed her hand away.


    “Shen Chi… would you kiss me… please?” Bai Man said.


    “Mind the occasion,” Shen Chi responded gravely.


    “Alright, alright, I get it. This is a restaurant; I was just saying it offhandedly. I have that much sense, don’t be angry,” Bai Man whispered, resting on his shoulder.


    “Mhm.”


    Bai Man was especially delighted and lifted her glass to drink a few more sips of wine.


    In the restaurant, soft light music played, like a lingering stream, gently striking the rocks. Each note resonated far and long.


    “Manman.”


    After a while, as Bai Man was a few drinks down the line, Shen Chi softly called her name.


    His voice had a peculiar seductive power, and upon hearing her name, Bai Man’s heart skipped a beat.


    She suspected she had misheard, hardly daring to believe it.


    “Shen Chi… what did you call me?” she lifted her drunken eyes, staring intently into his.


    “Drunk?” Shen Chi replied with a hooked smile.


    “No… not that, call me again, once more,” Bai Man pleaded, shaking his arm, her face full of entreaty.


    “Manman,” Shen Chi said with a smile.


    “I really thought I misheard. It seems… you’ve never called me that before…” Bai Man was ecstatic.


    Truly, she didn’t recall Shen Chi ever addressing her that way.


    She wanted to remember that utterance for a lifetime.


    Shen Chi, however, chuckled, “You’re claiming you’re not drunk, yet you get this surprised by just one call.”


    “I’m so happy…”


    “There’s something even happier, do you want it…” Shen Chi looked down at her.


    Bai Man didn’t say a word; she just looked at Shen Chi, and as he lowered his head for a moment, her eyes met his.


    They were so close, she could even see Shen Chi’s long eyelashes and seemingly could see a tiny reflection of herself in his eyes.


    She laughed, “Am I dreaming?”


    “No… you could try pinching yourself or shall I pinch you?”


    “Annoying…” Bai Man protested.


    Yet, although she said that, she still pinched herself. It hurt.


    She was not dreaming.


    “I just told you there’s a surprise, but first tell me, are you drunk? If you are, I won’t show it to you,” Shen Chi said with a smile playing on his lips.


    “What? What? I want to see, I want to see!” Bai Man protested. “I’m not drunk, not drunk at all, really.”


    “Really?”


    “Mhm!” Bai Man nodded vigorously.


    Shen Chi glanced at her; it seemed she was drunk.


    The more Bai Man looked at him, the more intoxicating it became; she stared at Shen Chi with an intense gaze!


    At that moment, Shen Chi took out the contract he had prepared from the very beginning from his bag.


    “Take a look at this,” Shen Chi placed the contract in front of her.


    Although Bai Man’s head was a bit sore, her eyes brightened in an instant!


    A contract!


    She flipped through it casually; it was a contract agreeing on cooperation between the Shen Group and the Bai Family!


    He really agreed, and it was wonderful.


    “Shen Chi… is this for real? A contract for our families to work together?”


    “So happy you can’t recognize the words?” Shen Chi laughed. “Since we decided on cooperation, of course, we have to sign a contract. If you’re too drunk, we can sign it tomorrow. I just wanted to give you a surprise.”


    “No…” Bai Man protested, “I’ve told you, I’m not drunk, I’m sober. Look, this is the President of Shen Group, Shen Chi…” Bai Man pointed to the characters on the document as she read them.


    Shen Chi shook his head with a light laugh, not saying anything.


    Bai Man thumbed through the contract, and it really gave her a headache. She recognized all the characters, but when they were put together, she could no longer understand them.


    She quickly flipped through the contract, it seemed to have the right meaning.


    Since the agreement for cooperation was in place, signing the contract was just a formality.


    Being able to have a share in the business district project was an incredible blessing. With this project as security, she wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of her life.


    The sincerity Shen Chi offered was immense.


    “Now do you know whether I like you or not?” Shen Chi asked in return.


    “I know, I know, you really like me,” Bai Man smiled.


    “Then take another look at the contract; if there’s anything you don’t understand, I can explain it to you now,” Shen Chi said seriously.


    “I understand it all,” Bai Man gave it a cursory glance, “You promised to take me to the hotel later.”


    “Definitely.”


    “I’m so happy, so happy…” Bai Man laughed. “Shen Chi, what if that shameless woman hadn’t appeared years ago, how could we have missed five years?”

    “Yeah,” Shen Chi suddenly became contemplative, “If it hadn’t been for that shameless woman, how could we have missed five years.”


    When he said this, Shen Chi almost gritted his teeth.


    But Bai Man was drunk; she didn’t realize his mood and instead was very happy.


    Having had too much to drink, she became more talkative.


    “Exactly, that woman is really shameless. Five years ago, she was only eighteen, young and already climbing into a man’s bed–how shameless!” Bai Man said indignantly.
