Bo Jingzhou lowered his head to look at Shen Wanci. She was frowning, though forced to lean against him, her gaze remained fixed on Qin Heyi.

It seems like she's completely captivated by the man across from her.

His hand slid down from her shoulder, settling on her waist. His fingers tightened, roughly pulling her attention back to him.

Bao Jingzhou's eyes were dark and unreadable. "Leave."

Jiang Shu had already parked the car very considerately beside the two of them, just within reach of opening the door with a hand.

"No…"

Before Shen Wanci could even utter a word of refusal, Bo Jingzhou forcefully dragged her into the car.

Qin He Yi's face darkened suddenly, he wanted to stop her, but his outstretched hands were blocked by bodyguards on either side.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Wanci had been taken into the car by Bo Jingzhou. The car door closed and the vehicle started, speeding out of the hospital at a rapid pace.

There was not only Jiang Shu in the car, but also Chen Xu.

Qin Heyi's voice mixed with the roar of the car engine, reaching the ears of the two people in the back seat whose expressions were different: "Bo Jingzhou, if you dare to force her, I swear I won't let you off."

He was trying to persuade her, because he knew as an outsider he wasn't qualified to interfere. Even if they had a bad relationship and were already going through a divorce, as long as they were still married, it was reasonable for him to try.

He could only speak up for her when she was unwilling to.

Men understand men better than they understand women. Just now, that man's eyes were full of possessiveness, so intense it was almost overflowing. In this state, if he lost control, what would he do? As a man, he knew all too well.

But Qin Heyi's imagination didn't come true. Bo Jingzhou not only did nothing to her, but also let go of her hand as he closed the car door...

At this moment, the two of them sat on either side, separated by a distance of half a meter.

The car was silent, not even a breath could be heard.

Shen Wanci turned her head. Bo Jingzhou was closing his eyes leaning against the backrest, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his face, his lips pursed, and the heavy shadow outlined his features and facial contours with an impersonal coldness.

Chen Xu glanced at the rearview mirror. Seeing that the two people ignored each other as if they had a grudge, he couldn't help but speak up: "Madam, there's a pharmacy ahead. Would you please buy some medicine for Mr. Bo to treat his wounds? His injuries are not light, and he didn't even have time to go to the hospital today because of the continuous meetings. Mr. Qin has been in the army for so many years, and he still stays in the most brutal, arduous, and tiring special forces training. His strength and skills are nothing to underestimate."

Bao Jingzhou closed his eyes and didn't stop Chen Xu's proposal, nor did he show any sign of agreement.

Uncle Jiang had already parked the car in front of the pharmacy and, very considerately, got out to open the car door for Shen Wanci.

Shen Wanci:“…”

Four pairs of eyes stared at her, both inside and outside the car. Especially Chen Xu, who was almost bowing and scraping to her with clasped hands.

And he was afraid she wouldn't agree, so he deliberately listed several medicine names. With the car window open, his voice was loud, and everyone in the surrounding shops heard him. Now even more people were watching them.

Looking at Jiang Shu again, he also had a pleading look on his face.

Shen Wanci couldn't bear to be stared at by an elder with such a gaze. She felt that if she didn't agree, he might keep the door open and stand there without leaving until Bo Jingzhou spoke.

"She got herself played, and she wouldn't let Chen Xu have it easy either. She scoffed lightly: "Chen Assistant, you are truly dedicated to your job, earning an assistant's salary while doing the work of a mother."

I wonder which assistant would care about their boss to this extent.

A grown man, begging a little girl, even his face is gone.

Chen Xushan smiled, he didn't say that President Bo was in a bad mood. The one who suffered was him, his close confidant who had to enter the CEO's office 17 or 8 times a day. Those days of fear and apprehension were really not something a normal person would go through.

He suspected he might get a heart attack before he retired!

Shen Wanci went to buy medicine. Besides iodine and gauze, she didn't know what else could treat injuries. However, when she fetched medicine for Qin Heyi just now, she glanced at it and remembered a few things.

After getting into the car, Shen Wanci threw the bought medicine to Bo Jingzhou and then ignored him.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the apartment building. As soon as she got out of the car, Bo Jingzhou followed her down.

Shen Wanci frowned and turned her head to glare at him, "Don't follow me."

She was now both hungry and tired, and didn't want to suffer his torment any longer.

Bo Jingzhou raised his hand and shoved the large bag of medicine she had just bought at the pharmacy in front of her: "The medicine you bought, if you don't apply it, who will?"

"Don't you have a good assistant? Have him..."

Before he could finish speaking, the car that had never stopped running just drove away.

Shen Wanci: "..."

Bo Jingzhou gave her a gesture to blend into the traffic. There were so many cars, she wouldn't even be able to find it if she tried, "Looks like you'll have to wipe it off yourself."

Shen Wanci would definitely not agree, but Bo Jingzhou obviously didn't mean to consult her opinion. He just took the medicine and walked towards the building where she lived. Looking at his demeanor, he seemed more familiar with this place than she, the one who lived here.

No one stopped him at the door, and even the security guard proactively swiped his card to open it for him.

Even to visit someone, one needs the owner's confirmation, and the security guard recording ID numbers seems to be a mere formality for him.

Shen Wanci took a deep breath and followed him. She wanted to ignore him and go straight to the hotel, but she didn't bring her ID card.

"Bao Jingzhou, have you fallen in love with me?"

“……”

The man didn't reply to her.

Whether it was unwillingness to reply, defaulting, or finding her question silly and unworthy of a response.

On the quiet path, only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.

Shen Wanci said to herself, "It's better not to. If it's really like this, it's too creepy."

When everything's about to fall apart, and things like this suddenly happen, who could be happy?

"If I fell in love with you, would it frighten you?" Bo Jingzhou's voice sounded strangely cold, as if he were angry, but when Shen Wanci turned to look at him, she saw a very slight curve of his thin lips.

Shen Wanci answered without hesitation: "Yes."

Bo Jingzhou withdrew his gaze from her face: "Were you propped up on a very high pillow last night that led to such unrealistic delusions?"

Shen Wanci gritted her teeth: "…Haven't you ever brushed your teeth since you were born?"

If you don't like it, just say so. There's no need to be so harsh.

She quickened her pace, wanting to get home before Bo Jingzhou and shut him out. Even if that didn't work, she would take her ID card and go stay at a hotel.

She is fast, the man is faster than her.

Before the door could even fully open, Shen Wanci hadn't had time to push it, Bo Jingzhou went in first.

She took a deep breath and reached for the wallet on the shoe rack. Her ID was inside.

The moment his fingers grazed the skin, the door behind him slammed shut.

Bo Jingzhou braced himself against the doorframe with one arm, his other hand gripping her waist, enveloping her entirely in his presence...
