If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 694 - : Do You Want to Exploit Female Employees?
Chapter 694: Chapter 694: Do You Want to Exploit Female Employees?
“Scared?” Shen Chi looked down at her.
“Not scared.”
“Because I’m here?” Shen Chi hooked up the corner of his mouth and smiled.
“Shameless.” Xu Chaomu snorted coldly.
Shen Chi took her hand and led her around outside. The road outside was very muddy, and he tried to choose some paths that were easier to walk on.
“The air on the mountain is not bad.” Xu Chaomu took a deep breath.
The two of them walked side by side for a long time before Xu Chaomu pointed to the ruins and asked, “Do you think Zhou Peitian is still alive?”
“What do you think?”
Xu Chaomu felt that she had asked a stupid question. With yesterday’s explosion being so powerful, Zhou Peitian surely couldn’t have survived.
This time, he was truly dead.

If it hadn’t been for Shen Chi’s quick reflexes yesterday, getting out of the room, she didn’t even want to imagine.
Yet now, all was quiet again.
Birds called incessantly on the charred trees, twittering away, bringing new vitality to the place.
This was the mountaintop, and soon new trees would grow, and a new world would sprout. This place would once again be filled with greenery and life.
“Look what’s up ahead.” Shen Chi pointed somewhere not too far away.
Xu Chaomu blinked, a dark little thing she couldn’t make out, and turned to Shen Chi curiously, “What is it?”
“A charred wild chicken,” Shen Chi said with a smile.
“Really? Does that mean we’ll have roasted chicken today?” Xu Chaomu laughed too.
She heard that wild chicken tasted even better, especially delicious, and what’s more, roasted wild chicken would surely make for a great meal.
“If you pick it up, you’ll have it to eat, if you don’t, then you won’t.”
Shen Chi let go of her hand, crossed his arms, and watched her.
“Why me?” Xu Chaomu glared at him.
“Don’t you think it’s ungraceful for a man to do such things?” Shen Chi leisurely watched her.
“Fine, fine, you’re graceful, I’m coarse,” Xu Chaomu snorted coldly, “I’m the wild village girl.”
“Hmm.”
“What do you mean by ‘hmm’? I’m trying to give you face,” Xu Chaomu snorted, “Have you ever seen such a spirited village girl as me?”
Shen Chi smiled faintly, noncommittal.
Xu Chaomu let go of his hand, picked up her skirt, tiptoed, and walked along the clean path.
Despite her carefulness, her shoes still got muddy.
No wonder someone said it was ungraceful—it certainly was. However, such ungraceful things were not uncommon for her to do in her childhood.
As a child, she loved playing with mud, stepping in ponds, which, needless to say, Shen Chi, the young master whose fingers never touched spring water, would never have done.
When she played with mud, he was playing the piano.
Xu Chaomu walked over and indeed it was a wild chicken, quite plump. She rolled up her sleeves, bent down, picked it up from the ground—not bad, only the feathers were scorched, everything else was fine.
She carried her trophy back to Shen Chi, walking and laughing as she flaunted her arm.
“Not bad, right? I’m telling you, whoever picks it up gets to eat it,” Xu Chaomu said with wide eyes, “Gracefulness will starve to death, you know.”
At this moment, Xu Chaomu, petite and playful, was very cute.
Shen Chi couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, crossing his arms as he watched Xu Chaomu approach.
Her long hair fell over her shoulders; when the wind blew, her hair fluttered lightly, beautiful and elegant.
Shen Chi watched, somewhat captivated; he thought, everything he had done the night before was worth it.
Just as she was about to reach him, suddenly, her foot slipped, and she lost her balance.
Shen Chi strode forward, firmly caught her, and in the process… took the wild chicken from her hands.
“Shen Chi, are you shameless? I picked it up; you’re stealing the fruits of my labor,” Xu Chaomu chased after him yelling.
“Want to eat? Beg me.”
Shen Chi walked toward the cave with large strides, picking up a few branches along the way.
He had plenty of wilderness survival experience, having gone on adventures with friends while at school, definitely stronger than Xu Chaomu, the rookie.
It was his fault for having protected her too well before; he wouldn’t allow her to do anything too dangerous.
Back at the cave, Shen Chi skillfully set up the rack.
Yesterday’s fire was still burning; after setting up the rack, Shen Chi split the chicken open and hung it there.
Xu Chaomu followed him into the cave and seeing how capable he was, couldn’t help but stick out her tongue.
It wasn’t long before the chicken was cooked, emitting mouthwatering aromas that filled the cave.
“Smells good.” Xu Chaomu sat beside it, propping up her cheek, staring at the roasted chicken without blinking.
“Beg me,” Shen Chi said in an undisturbed tone.
“If I don’t beg you, will you not let me eat?”
“Of course.”
“But I’m the one who picked up the chicken.”
“But I was the one who found it.”
“You… jerk.” Xu Chaomu angrily turned her head away, not believing he wouldn’t let her eat; she wouldn’t beg him.
Soon, the chicken was fully cooked, and its fragrance permeated the entire cave.
Xu Chaomu, now even hungrier and more tantalized, heard her stomach growl.
But she had already turned away; she couldn’t be so weak.
Shen Chi tore off a chicken leg and teased her, “Are you sure you don’t want any?”
Xu Chaomu showed resolve, “I don’t want any.”
“Then forget it.” And so, Shen Chi ate with great relish.
Dammit… this was unbearable. Xu Chaomu turned in anger, “Shen Chi, you bastard!”
Shen Chi continued roasting the chicken placidly; in fact, he hadn’t eaten anything.
Turning her head, seeing that one chicken was still intact, her cheeks reddened, she seemed… a bit too excited.
“What am I a bastard for, huh?” Shen Chi asked indifferently.
“Oh, nothing.” Xu Chaomu snatched the chicken leg from his hand and took big bites.
She was indeed very hungry…
“Eat slowly,” Shen Chi said, watching her with an indulgent smile.
He only watched her and didn’t eat anything himself.
“When we get back to the Shen family, I’ll have Butler Ling take good care of you,” Shen Chi said casually.
“Would you be willing to cook for me personally?” Xu Chaomu asked with a smile in her eyes.
“I don’t want to.”
Xu Chaomu immediately snorted coldly, “Oh.”
“I believe in a system of compensation, understand?”
“I don’t understand.” Xu Chaomu gave him a blank look, ready to argue.
“If you don’t understand, I’ll explain it to you,” Shen Chi said, “For example, if I wanted to take advantage of a female employee, I wouldn’t do it out of the blue, I’d ‘casually’ make the offer when she needed something from me, get it?”
“I get it.”
“Hmm.”
“So, you do want to take advantage of female employees,” Xu Chaomu exclaimed.
Shen Chi’s face was covered in black lines: “Missing the point, no wonder you fail exams.”
“I don’t care, I don’t care, you just want to take advantage of female employees, and you’ve even planned how; you’re just waiting for someone to fall into your trap,” Xu Chaomu shook her head repeatedly, “Oh my, how can there be such a disgusting boss in the world, so scary.”
A line of crows flew over Shen Chi’s head as his mouth twitched.
“Shen Chi, so you’re that kind of boss; my goodness, I was mistaken about you.”
Shen Chi tore off a roast wing and stuffed it into her mouth, saying sternly, “Shut up!”
