Chapter 731? You insist...

Bo Jingzhou was still troubled by Shen Wanci's evasive answers. Hearing this, he replied faintly, "I don't know, I forgot."

Then, thinking of the information I had seen before about Gu Chen Ye, I added, "Don't get too close to her."

Shen Wanci: "Why?"

The more he said that, the more curious she became about Yanji. This wasn't the first time he had warned her like this.

"……" Bo Jingzhou furrowed his brows, taking a long time to come up with a suitable adjective: "She's fierce and will fight."

Shen Wanci: "..."

On the way back, Bo Jingzhou's spirits remained low. Shen Wanci asked him questions, and he answered with a single word. If she stayed silent, he would remain quiet as well. After returning to Yting Bieyuan, he went straight to his second-floor study. Watching his silent figure, she was filled with confusion. How could this person be so unpredictable? Even women have those days, but does that mean men do too every month?

In the study, Bo Jingzhou pulled out the diary filled with his and Shen Wanci's memories. But diaries are not memories after all. From beginning to end, he couldn't recall from these fragmented entries where he had been bad to Wanwan in the past. He thought for a moment, then dialed Gu Chenye's phone and bluntly asked, "Was I good to Wanwan before?"

Since they grew up together as brothers, they must often get together and should have a pretty good understanding of each other's feelings.

Gu Chenye was in a bad mood. Yan Ji had ignored him for days. If it wasn't for hearing from others that she was fine, healthy and safe, he would have flown abroad already. Now, Bo Jingzhou called to ask him such a stupid question, hitting the nail on the head: "I didn't install cameras in your house, how would I know how you treat her."

"... After all these years as brothers, I've never even taken her out for a meal or a get-together with you guys?"

Bo Jingzhou's attitude of putting his own needs aside finally awakened a glimmer of brotherhood in Gu Chenye's heart, "Why are you dwelling on the past? It doesn't matter what happened before. She is your wife now, just treat her well in the future."

A man who can turn a first marriage into a second, even if he's your brother, he can't in good conscience say that 'good'.

He impatiently said, "Just answer honestly whether you're doing well or not, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Actually, he had guessed it when Gu Chenye avoided answering the question directly, but he still wanted a definite answer.

Gu Chenye gave him two words succinctly: "Not good."

Bo Jingzhou: "..."

Before he could ask again, the phone hung up.

Gu Chenye couldn't ask for specifics here, so he called Chen Xu again. Wanwan had worked at the Bo family before, still as his personal secretary. How he treated her, as his assistant, Chen Xu must know.

As soon as he heard the question, Chen Xu started to sweat. Thinking of Boss Bo's past ruthless actions, if he answered 'not good', he would definitely anger him. If he answered 'good', what if he was exposed by his young mistress? After much thought, this was a dead end question, one with no solution.

Chen Xu fell silent for a long time before stammering, "Mr. Bo, do you want to hear the truth or a lie? Or maybe you'd prefer a lie? You weren't very good to your wife in the past."

He didn't give Bao Jingzhou any chance to choose at all. He blurted out everything he had in mind. Now, he only hopes that Mr. Bao can show his wit and intelligence, guess for himself, and not ask too many questions.

But for someone who, at 29 years old, has never even burned an incense stick for a Buddha, the goddess of luck wouldn't favor him.

Bo Jingzhou: "What about the truth?"

"Very bad."

Silence stretched across the phone, even though Chen Xu was now sitting in a warm cafe, he couldn't help but shiver uncontrollably, goosebumps erupting all over his body. He hurriedly said: "Mr. Bo, this is what you absolutely wanted to know."

He's already been as tactful as possible, but the other person just won't take a hint.

Bo Jingzhou's voice was low and menacing: "If I must ask, you must answer?"

But you insist...

The call ended, and it was Bo Jingzhou who hung up first. He slammed his phone on the desk, finally regaining some composure after losing face to Gu Chenye.

After asking the two of them back to back, he was now extremely certain that he had truly been bad to Wanwan before. He had even been a little sour because of her attitude towards Qin Heyi, secretly trying to play hard to get and waiting for her to notice and come coax him. Now, he didn't care about that anymore. He got up and quickly went downstairs.

The living room was empty, with no sign of Shen Wanci. He glanced around and went upstairs to the master bedroom on the second floor.

The bedroom door wasn't shut tight. She was on the phone, her voice clear as it came from inside. Bo Jingzhou pushed the door open and entered. Shen Wanci glanced back at him when she saw him, but didn't seem to mind.

A man walked past, reaching out to hug her from behind. His jaw rested against her shoulder, and his breath tickled her cheek when it passed by.

Shen Wanci retracted her neck and turned her head to the side. Bo Jingzhou followed closely, sticking to her like a big dog. Sensing his displeasure, she had no choice but to say a word to the person on the phone before hanging up.

Seeing her put away her phone, the man leaned in to kiss her, but Shen Wanci reached out to block him and pushed him back. "Bo Jingzhou, what's wrong with you?"

If she hadn't been sure he was a man, she would have suspected he was having his period, one minute looking like this, the next like that.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry," Bo Jingzhou let her lower her face without further action, only tightening his embrace a little: "I was the asshole before, I promise, I will definitely treat you very well from now on, and make up for all that I owe you."

" ... Did you remember anything? "

Although he had already acknowledged his past mistreatment of her, hearing her ask like that made his heart clench and sink. "No, but I called Chen Xu and Gu Chen Ye, they both said I wasn't good to you."

There was self-reproach and guilt in his voice.

Shen Wanci: "There's nothing bad about it. You paid off my high-interest loan, gave me a home, took care of my food and clothing, and I don't have to rely on others."

The only downside is that his methods were too radical, leaving her with some psychological scars. As for their three years of marriage, which felt like a sham, it was a mutually beneficial arrangement from the start, so no one could blame anyone. Besides, it was all due to misunderstandings, and now, those misunderstandings have been cleared up.

She didn't want to bring up the past anymore, Shen Wanci smiled and kissed him: "From now on, you have to be very, very good to me. You said so yourself, if you don't..."

Bao Jingzhou interrupted her: "It's impossible."

He gripped her head, turning the tables and kissing her back. As their lips intertwined, a familiar yet unreal fragment flashed through his mind.
