Back at Yuting Garden, Shen Wanci was still thinking about Second Master Jiang's sudden proposal to have her go abroad. Could it be that the Jiang family was going to change?

No wonder they suddenly decided to develop in Kyoto.

She was thinking about the Jiang family's affairs and forgot about the wound on Bo Jingzhou's body. As a result, when she came to her senses, the person was gone.

"???"

It's uncharacteristic of a man like him to not seize the opportunity to make demands.

Shen Wanci was just about to go upstairs when she received a call from Nie Yucheng, "Wanci, the company is hosting a celebration banquet tonight for the Crossing City project. Are you free? The team has been talking about wanting to see you all the time. If you come, they'll be very happy."

She was only part-time, and her time at the company didn't exceed four hours each day. Because of her tight schedule, she basically dove straight into work as soon as she arrived, without even a moment to chat. So they weren't really thinking about her; they were deliberately teasing Nie Yu Cheng.

She didn't believe Nie Yu Cheng couldn't see through her.

Shen Wanci: “Yu Cheng, I'm sorry, I have something to attend to later and might be busy until…”

Nie Yucheng seemed to have suddenly thought of something and interrupted her, "By the way, my mom cleaned the house a few days ago and found something your aunt left for you. She originally wanted to give it to you herself, but she's been sick these past few days and can't get out of bed. I might as well take it to the banquet."

"Your stepmother is ill? Is she seriously ill?"

“It’s just a cold. She’s never been very healthy to begin with, and she waited too long to seek treatment, so it became serious.”

Shen Wanci heard this and felt a little worried. Nie's mother was one of her mother's few friends, and she was also very kind to her: "Then I'll go see my aunt. Is she in the hospital now?"

"I'm heading back home anyway, I can swing by the apartment and pick you up?"

According to the building management, Shen Wanci hasn't been back to the apartment for a long time, like she moved out.

Shen Wanci heard movement upstairs and looked up, just in time to see Bo Jingzhou coming down. He was wearing a black shirt that fit him perfectly, the hem tucked into his trousers, highlighting his tall and slender figure.

His chest is his chest, his waist is his waist, his hips are his hips. His muscles aren't those exaggerated, blocky lines, but you can feel the power radiating from his body even through his shirt.

More captivating than a male companion trained to please wealthy women in a brothel.

She said, "My place is a bit out of the way, so don't bother coming to pick me up. I'll just drive there myself in a bit."

"Okay."

Bao Jingzhou frowned: "Where are you going again? Your wound isn't healed yet, the doctor told you to rest."

He pursed his lips and lied without blushing, "The person who hurt you hasn't been caught yet. What if they do something bad to you again?"

The most important thing was, he felt that the person calling her was Nie Yu Cheng. Only a tea flower spirit could be so skilled at coaxing women, like a central air conditioner, you could feel the warmth radiating from him even three meters away.

My aunt became seriously ill, so I went to visit her.

Shen Wanci put away her phone. When Bo Jingzhou was speaking, Nie Yucheng had already hung up the phone.

"...."

If it were Nie Yucheng who was sick, he would definitely stop the person. But it's Nie Yucheng's mother who is ill...

He couldn't help but complain, the last time his scheme failed, this time he even used his own mother. Such a despicable and cunning person, yet Shen Wanci still thought he was an extraordinary and elegant figure.

Shen Wanci stood at the entrance, changing her shoes: "Have you had your injury treated? If it's serious, call a doctor to take a look."

Bo Jingzhou mumbled a response, he did want to feign injury to gain sympathy, but the problem was that he wasn't injured. At a glance, it was obvious that he was lying. "I'll accompany you," he said. "It's been ages since I last saw your aunt."

"You don't have to go to the company?"

Is this CEO a little too idle? Isn't the company going to go bankrupt?

"No, I don't have anything to do this afternoon. Chen Xu pushed everything back, and besides, it's after work now..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Xu's voice rang out from outside the door. Since Shen Wanci was about to go out, she opened the door while changing her shoes, making his words exceptionally clear: "Mr. Bo, the heads of Wangu and Chengfeng companies are still waiting at the company. Are you finished? Why don't you go take a look first?"

It's fine with other companies, but these two are backed by big entities and hard to offend. Plus, they have flights out of town for a conference tomorrow morning and it's not convenient to reschedule.

Bo Jingzhou: "..."

I never thought it would come so fast.

"Go ahead and busy yourself, those people probably won't do anything to me for now, don't worry."

When he splashed her in the morning, he said it was a warning, so he probably didn't intend to kill her.

Bo Jingzhou hesitated for a moment, "I'll have my bodyguard go with you."

Watching a tea master.

"Don't," she warned him, "and don't let anyone follow me secretly either."

……

As Shen Wanci passed by a shopping mall, she bought some nutritional supplements. Just as she arrived at the Nie family's house, she heard violent coughing coming from the window upstairs, like an unstoppable force, earth-shattering.

She hurriedly carried things inside and bumped into Nie Yucheng who had just come out.

The man took the thing from her hand and gave her a pair of women's slippers. "New, I bought them on the way back."

Has your stepmother's illness gotten better yet? What did the doctor say?

“It’s gotten better than before, but I'm older now and my recovery isn’t as fast as a younger person’s, so it might take some time.”

"Late Porcelain has arrived, hurry and sit down," Nie's stepmother dragged herself out of the room, her whole body feeling weak as if she would fall with a gust of wind.

Shen Wanci was afraid she would fall down the stairs, so she quickly went up to help her: "Mother, you don't have to worry about me, I'll help you back to bed."

“I’ve been lying in bed for days, my bones are all soft. Help me go downstairs and sit for a while,” she said, her legs lacked strength, and she walked down the stairs extra slowly. Nie Yu Cheng and Shen Wan Ci supported her on either side, plus both of them were good-looking, they were practically a match made in heaven.

Fu Nie's mother-in-law sat down, and Shen Wanci then took a back cushion to support her waist.

"That day I was tidying up the house and found your mother's watch that she had left here before. You should take it back, as a memento."

Nie Yu Cheng went upstairs and took down a wristwatch that looked quite old, placing it in front of Shen Wan Ci.

The classic style, with a metal strap, is timeless even today.

This watch was exactly the same as the one Nie Yu Cheng wore on his wrist.

This also inexplicably comes with a couple's version.

My aunt-in-law then explained, "I bought this watch with your mother, one for each of us. I even called her that night to tell her about it, planning to have the driver deliver it the next day. But your mother went back to Yun City, and later time passed and we forgot about it."
