If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1640: Phoenix Nirvana, Rebirth from Death (9)

Chapter 1640: Chapter 1640: Phoenix Nirvana, Rebirth from Death (9)

While Xia Chuqing was modifying data, she asked Xiao Mo, "Boss Xiao, did I really not get into the group through your backdoor?"

"Are you not confident in yourself?"

"A little bit..."

Actually, she was quite confident before, but ever since she found out about her father’s accident, her self-confidence had slowly collapsed.

"I’ve looked at your university records and had a few words with your head of department, and he really appreciates you." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Ah, he’s praising me again for no reason."

"I appreciate you too," Xiao Mo smiled.

"..." Xia Chuqing felt a bit flattered, "What is there about me to appreciate? I don’t think I’m that good."

"Don’t undervalue yourself, be more confident in the future. What happened with your father is in the past, and you still have to walk your own path ahead."

Xia Chuqing was quite touched; Xiao Mo really understood her thoughts.

Just as she was savoring his words, he suddenly said, "What are you daydreaming about? Get back to work."

"Weren’t you chatting with me?" Xia Chuqing pouted, continuing to work with her head down.

"I can chat while working, can you?"

"Bullying the newcomer, I’ll definitely be better than you someday." Xia Chuqing snorted.

"I’ll wait for it."

She had said this sentence two years ago, and hearing it again today, he actually felt a sense that they could strive together side by side in the future.

Xia Chuqing suddenly really liked working in the same office with him; it had a kind of... romantic feeling.

Come to think of it, they had known each other for many years already.

Back then, Xiaobao had just been born.

When Xiao Mo was delivering documents to Shen Chi’s office, he happened to see Miao Xiu walking out from his office.

Miao Xiu left with a triumphant smile, gesturing toward Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo walked in and placed the document on Shen Chi’s desk.

"Does President Shen still have contact with Miao Xiu?" Xiao Mo asked curiously.

Shen Chi’s personality was completely different from Miao Xiu’s; what common topics could they have?

"We’re all friends, why not stay in touch." Shen Chi glanced at him, smiling.

"If I’m not mistaken, in the matter of my faked death, Miao Xiu played quite a role, didn’t he?"

Xiao Mo knew that for Shen Chi to have a clear understanding of both his and Xia Chuqing’s situations, it must have been due to Miao Xiu’s thorough investigation.

Miao Xiu was someone who found out whatever he wanted to, leaving no trace unchecked.

Even events from over twenty years ago were traced down by him; compared to that, his and Xia Chuqing’s situation was nothing.

Shen Chi laughed, "Why, aren’t you grateful to me?"

"How should I show my gratitude?"

"No need for big thanks, just treat me to a meal."

"After treating you to a meal, can we settle the score? You made my elderly parents cry their eyes out, how should I repay you for that?" Xiao Mo looked at Shen Chi.

"Without doing this, would Xia Chuqing believe?" Shen Chi said disdainfully.

"Shen Chi, your acting skills are truly impressive."

"Did you only just meet me?"

"From now on, you don’t need to manage my affairs." Xiao Mo huffed coldly.

"Do you think I want to manage your affairs? I only came up with this plan of surviving after being driven to the wall because you and Xia Chuqing had nowhere to go. Otherwise, who would help me share the workload of this group?"

"I knew you weren’t that kind-hearted!" Xiao Mo punched him on the shoulder, snorting.

"Isn’t it great now? If you think it’s not good... I might consider how to break you two up..."

"Get lost!"

Xiao Mo didn’t leave immediately after delivering the documents but chatted with Shen Chi in his office for a while.

The two stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window as sunlight shone through, sparkling with glittering fragments, and the glass was refracting colorful rays.

In the end, Xiao Mo was grateful to Shen Chi for this matter.

Just as Shen Chi said, at that time, he and Xia Chuqing had reached a dead end, and Xia Chuqing was extremely insecure due to her father’s situation.

Coupled with the pressure from his parents, if not for Shen Chi’s plan this time, he and Xia Chuqing might have missed each other.

"By the way, Shen Chi, delete those things you said at Mr. Ji’s villa last time!" Xiao Mo threatened him.

At that time, he was so angry he spoke without thinking, not expecting that Shen Chi would record it, indeed a scheming person.

"No can do, Madam specifically instructed not to delete it. If you ever treat the godmother of my son poorly, I’ll have to let Xia Chuqing hear that recording." Shen Chi provocatively glanced at Xiao Mo.

Thus, Xiao Mo was once again outsmarted by Shen Chi.

So to speak, Shen Chi didn’t only scheme Xia Chuqing and his parents, but also him.

Life truly is like a play, all relying on acting skills, and Shen Chi was simply at an Oscar level!

Yet, he had no leverage on Shen Chi.

...

As the assessment period approached, Xia Chuqing got busier and busier, working diligently day and night, either getting up early or working overtime.

Xia Chuqing had made up her mind not to return to A City anymore, just to stay in C City and bring her family over when the time comes.

A City was a place of sadness for them, it’s good for them to change a place, just afraid they’re unwilling.

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao had already returned to Qingyuan, and after this incident, they saw everything more lightly; fame and wealth were nothing compared to happiness and life.

After returning, they ate and drank as they wished, no longer caring about troublesome matters and no longer interfering with Xiao Mo’s affairs.

Xiao Mo had his own ideas and didn’t need their supervision anymore.

Once Father Xiao and Mother Xiao left, Xiao Mo simply moved to sleep in Xia Chuqing’s bedroom.

Xia Chuqing was a hundred times unwilling, "Xiao Mo, go back to your own room, I still have work to rush."

"You do your work, and I sleep my sleep, is there a conflict?" Xiao Mo raised an eyebrow.

"This is not right for us, we’re not even married yet. If my dad finds out, he would break my legs," Xia Chuqing pouted, "Though my dad used to be the mayor, he’s very traditional. If he knows a girl like me is living in your house, unimaginable consequences will ensue."

"Isn’t it just a marriage certificate short? Let’s get the certificate tomorrow," Xiao Mo said dismissively while playing with his tablet.

In his eyes, these weren’t issues at all.

"Why should I? I don’t know you well enough yet!" Xia Chuqing was not pleased.

Actually, if you think about it, since she returned from Paris, she had only been with Xiao Mo day and night for about three months, and their relationship was a bit fast.

At this moment, Xiao Mo suddenly mentioned getting a marriage certificate, she couldn’t react.

Suddenly she was going to be a married woman?

Earlier this year, she was still an unmarried student, with no proposal even...

Men always think so simply, but she wasn’t expecting much romance from this older man.

Xiao Mo put down his tablet, giving her a meaningful look, "Not well enough? Is it not deep enough?"

Xia Chuqing threw a pillow at him, "Xiao Mo, could you get back to your own room?!"
