“It’s nothing; my brother doesn’t want me anymore,” Xu Chaomu said calmly, as if it were a very ordinary matter.

“Really?” Yu Weiwei’s eyes widened. “But I thought the two of you had a good relationship. You even mentioned getting him a wedding gift. He can’t be like that, right? Marrying a wife and then disregarding his sister?”

“That’s how it is. What’s the use of a sister after getting a wife?” Xu Chaomu didn’t care at all.

Yu Weiwei was at a loss for words; it seemed there was some truth to that.

“But, are you really comfortable living at school? I heard, you know, there are mice squeaking in the closet at midnight! And the sound of mantises biting the bed board!” Yu Weiwei tried to scare Xu Chaomu.

“Would I, Xu Chaomu, be afraid of mice?”

Back in the orphanage, which had a reputation for being the most disorderly, she had seen it all.

“…” Yu Weiwei rolled her eyes. “Forget I said anything.”

The two talked for a while before the English teacher walked into the classroom with a stack of vocabulary notebooks. Some students were memorizing vocabulary, some reciting texts, and others chatted away.

Xu Chaomu was a bit distracted, with many things on her mind. She stared into the sky for a while, sinking into thought. Somehow, her thoughts drifted back to Shen Chi…

However, Shen Chi wasn’t free to think about her; he was in his office discussing with Xiao MO about the trip to South Africa.

He knew that securing the diamond mine would be very difficult; it required not only sufficient financial and technical support but also persuasive power.

Shen Chi might be influential in C City, but in South Africa, everything would have to rely on strength and ability.

Moreover, that diamond mine was quite rare, coveted by many groups.

Therefore, the matter required careful and long-term planning.

After discussing with Xiao MO, it was already afternoon.

The sun shone brightly and lazily in the sky, the clouds motionless. The streets were bustling as always, vibrant and lively.

That afternoon, Shen Chi held a press conference about a new necklace launched by Shen Group.

Ever since acquiring Wantong Technology Company, Shen Chi had used their top-notch technology to create this necklace named “Eternal Heart.”

The necklace’s presentation couldn’t do without a model, and that model was none other than Bai Man.

With this move, Shen Chi killed two birds with one stone: showcasing the necklace and announcing his relationship with Bai Man to the public.

Presenting the necklace was meant to reveal part of Shen Group’s strength; announcing his relationship with Bai Man was to tell everyone that they were about to get married.

At the press conference, Shen Chi was dressed in a black suit, while Bai Man wore a diamond-studded, water-blue, trailing, one-shoulder evening gown. From the start of the event, Bai Man stood on the brightest stage, arm-in-arm with Shen Chi.

Shen Chi was as usual, austere and serious, his tall figure swathed in a black suit. Bai Man smiled and waved to the crowd from time to time.

She had taken great care with her appearance that day; her black hair was twisted into a bun, shining with white pearls.

To be honest, she was quite surprised when Shen Chi called her.

But the fact that he brought her to such an important press conference showed that he cared a lot about her.

Just as, after the Shen and Bai families discussed marriage, she shared her feelings with her parents. They both comforted her, advising her not to overthink it, for Shen Chi really liked her.

The press conference went smoothly. After presenting the “Eternal Heart” to all the guests, Shen Chi personally put the necklace around Bai Man’s fair neck. Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The necklace was embedded with blood-red diamonds, the so-called blood diamonds, precious and extraordinarily rare.

Yet, this necklace featured nine large blood diamonds, each one uniform in size and color, as if they were replicated.

The diamonds sparkled under the lights, exceptionally beautiful, surpassing the splendor of the stars by threefold.

Bai Man lowered her head, and Shen Chi took the “Eternal Heart” and put it around Bai Man’s neck.

At that moment, the crowd below erupted into excitement, and the serious press conference suddenly became extraordinarily lively.

One reporter began to ask loudly, “President Shen, does the ‘Eternal Heart’ have any special significance?”

“President Shen, is this a marriage proposal to Miss Bai?”

“President Shen, there have been rumors about you and Miss Bai being childhood sweethearts. Can you reveal whether something good is upcoming between you two?”

“President Shen, kiss Miss Bai!”

“Miss Bai, what do you have to say about President Shen giving you this valuable necklace?”

“Miss Bai, what are your feelings at this moment?”

Noises filled the air, and when someone shouted “kiss her,” the crowd began to chant in unison.

“Kiss her, kiss her…’

Bai Man looked at Shen Chi with tender affection, her eyelids drooping, her cheeks flushing slightly: “Don’t listen to their nonsense.”

Shen Chi smiled faintly, reached out to tuck her hanging hair behind her ear; his gesture was gentle and meticulous.

“Do you like this necklace?” he asked in a hoarse whisper, his voice deep yet tender.

“I love it. It’s the only one of its kind in the world. Just like you, to me, you’re one of a kind, invaluable.” Bai Man’s tones were soft and tender, and each time she looked up, her eyes brimmed with soft tenderness.

“I’m glad you like it. It’s for you.”

“Really? The Eternal Heart… Can you tell me what it means?” Bai Man asked coyly, tilting her head at Shen Chi.

“What do you think?” Shen Chi also smiled, his hand brushing her hair.

Seeing their affectionate behavior, the crowd began to make noise again, and the press conference instantly became very lively.

“President Shen, you and Miss Bai really are a match made in heaven.”

“Yes, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a good match in terms of social status.’

“President Shen, satisfy everyone just once, please kiss Miss Bai…”

“Miss Bai, why don’t you take the initiative and kiss President Shen?”

Bai Man lowered her head, her cheeks blushing, and whispered to Shen Chi, “Maybe… you should just indulge them?”

Indulging them would also be indulging her.

Shen Chi only laughed softly, his eyes brimming with indulgence and tenderness, “Now you’re conspiring with them.”

After speaking, he touched Bai Man’s hair again and led her by the hand to the front microphone.

“Thank you all for coming today; it’s an honor for Shen Group. The ‘Eternal Heart’ represents eternity, everlasting, and permanence, which is also what I want to say to Miss Bai,” he said.

He paused, then continued with a slight curl of his lips, “Next month, I will be engaged to Miss Bai Man, signifying that in the future, we will be as eternal as the Eternal Heart, forever in love.

“Moreover, this necklace will soon go into production, and it will be Shen Group’s leading design for this year. I hope everyone will continue to support us.”

Shen Chi spoke with a deep voice, articulately and with a powerful presence and credibility that left no room for doubt.

As soon as he spoke, the crowd below fell silent, all ears tuned to his words..
