The Lu Group.

Bo Jingzhou was listening to his assistant report on work when the tightly shut office door was suddenly pushed open.

Ji Siyuan stood at the door, silent. His dark eyes stared intently at Bo Jingzhou. In just two days, he looked visibly more haggard. The usually innocent "puppy dog" eyes were now filled with bloodshot redness from sleepless nights.

The atmosphere in the office fell into a strange silence upon his arrival.

The assistant hurriedly tidied up the documents spread out on the table, "Mr. Lu, I'm going to leave now."

"Hmm." Bo Jingzhou nodded.

The assistant, feeling as if he had received a reprieve, clutched the document and hurried out of the office with his head bowed. As he passed by Ji Siyuan, he distinctly felt an unusual chill. He had defected to Lu's side, so he knew that this young master Ji was a white lotus on the surface, seemingly harmless, but ruthless when he wanted to be. He could bring your ancestors up and whip their corpses.

Noticing his bad mood, Assistant Wang couldn't help but quicken his pace until he walked far away before feeling the prickling gaze on his back disappear.

Ji Siyuan shut the door and walked up to Bo Jingzhou, “Brother, your assistant seems to be afraid of me.”

Now that Bo Jingzhou sees Ji Siyuan, he feels irritated. If it weren't for him, he and Wanci would have probably remarried by now. He even had the engagement ring ordered. Now it seems hopeless, and he wonders if his intern boyfriend's status is still valid?

I dare not ask, for if I don't, it might still be there. But if I do ask, it might disappear.

But as long as she doesn't reject his closeness now, there's a chance. They could even get married after she has the baby. If she thinks wearing a wedding dress while pregnant wouldn't look good, they could have a ceremony sooner. Or they could get their marriage license first and then have the wedding after the baby is born.

Okay, that's a good idea. I'll have someone get started on it right away so we don't get caught scrambling later and waste time.

Bo Jingzhou was thinking about the wedding arrangements, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed. He even casually opened a document and started chatting with Ji Siyuan: "It's understandable that he would be scared seeing you standing at the door like that. Aren't you supposed to be at work? How did you have time to come over?"

Ji Siyuan: "I'm taking leave."

“He didn't care why he wasn't going to work.”

"Please take a vacation."

"If you don't want to go, don't go. We can afford to keep you at home..."

"Dad, let me go back abroad for a while." Ji Siyuan interrupted him. He was in a very bad mood right now. The gloom and mania that were usually suppressed deep inside him had completely lost control, just like the madman in the basement who kept asking him if he wanted to die.

Is that person Ji Siyuan? Bo Jingzhou wasn't quite sure, because he had never seen the real person. The other party always spoke to him through the door and used a voice changer. But one day, when he pretended to have been successfully hypnotized and woken up again, he found himself lying in bed at the villa where he lived now.

Beside the bed was Ji Siyuan, crying uncontrollably, using a hoarse voice to say: "Brother, I finally saved you from Bo Rongxuan's hands."

Even if that crazy person wasn't him, he could deceive himself by saying such things. It would still make him an ally.

Hearing that he was going abroad to meet the person behind everything, Bo Jingzhou's heart beat faster, but he held it back, "How come so suddenly? I didn't hear you mention it before."

"Well, something came up, and I need to head back for a bit."

Bo Jingzhou, of course, knew why Ji Siyuan had suddenly decided to go back. He had used the man as a pawn to design a new project for the Bo family, stirring up trouble and revealing several hidden traitors they'd been tracking down.

That person got angry, so they urgently called Ji Siyuan back.

Ji Siyuan's hand fell on his shoulder, giving him a massage with just the right amount of pressure: "Brother, if I don't come back, will you miss me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Dad is so good to us, how could you not come back?"

"I did something that upset him. Even though Dad is the best, I'm only adopted. There's no blood relation between us, and I made a mistake. It makes sense that I've become an outcast."

Bo Jingzhou was just racking his brains for an excuse to go with him, but upon hearing this, his brows furrowed slightly, "I'll accompany you back. If Dad wants to punish you, I'll take the blame."

"…" Ji Siyuan looked at him, his eyes flickering with emotion, and a complex light that was difficult to discern. He seemed to be wavering for a moment, but after a long while, he resolutely shook his head: "No need, I'll go back myself. You have more important things to do. If Dad knew that I not only made a mistake but also dragged you along with me, delaying your business, he might even despise me more."

Bo Jingzhou was a little disappointed, but he didn't chase after him too closely, afraid that he would make Ji Siyuan suspicious. To find out the person behind it, he seemed to have to use some means.

Although getting rid of Ji Siyuan was a relief, at least he no longer had a tail attached to him, allowing him to spend more time with Wanwan. He must seize this opportunity to win her back, preferably convincing her to remarry.

Ji Siyuan's flight was in the afternoon, Bo Jingzhou personally sent him to the airport, seeing him through security before leaving the airport.

Although the person is gone, those eyes behind the scenes are still watching. Bo Jingzhou returned to Lu's company and stayed busy until eight o'clock before leaving.

After driving around half the city, he made sure no one was following him before going to Shen Wanci's apartment.

He stood at the door, his hand hovering over the knocker when suddenly a wave of nervousness washed over him. Had he hurt her this morning? She seemed upset when she left, not even saying goodbye. Maybe she still thought he was bad at it? Was she still angry?

Bao Jingzhou had never imagined that he would be nervous about something like this one day. Thinking of Shen Wanci's furrowed brow when she was under him, he couldn't help but wonder, could his technique really be that bad?

But he only had Shen Wanci, a woman. He didn't know if what she said was true or if she was deliberately provoking him. But Shen Wanci also only had him as a man. Maybe all men give women this feeling in this kind of situation. She hadn't compared, so she didn't know.

Just as he was lost in thought, the tightly shut door in front of him creaked open.

It seems that although they weren't very compatible in bed, they were still telepathic in their everyday life. He was just about to knock when she opened the door.

Bo Jingzhou's lips twitched upwards, but halfway through, it froze, and then suddenly sank down.
