Shen Fanxing’s words made Ji Fengmian’s face darken.

  The meaning behind her words made her subconsciously resist.

  “Are you satisfied?” She looked up at Chu Boyang. “She’s fine. Can you leave now?”


  Chu Boyang looked at her and said, “I’ll send you back.”


  Ji Fengmian closed his eyes. “Are you sure you want to pester me like this?”


  Chu Boyang looked at her deeply for a while before sighing softly. When he spoke again, it was a compromise.

  “Alright, take care of yourself. I’ll leave first.”


  “Take your men away as well!”


  Chu Boyang didn’t insist. “Okay.”


  Ji Fengmian lowered his gaze and caressed Shen Fanxing’s fair hand. His face was tense and he didn’t say a word.

  Chu Boyang glanced at the few people in the corridor. When he turned around, they followed behind him tacitly.

  It wasn’t until they had left that Shen Fanxing glanced at Ji Fengmian.

  “Since he wants to arrange it, a free bodyguard is better than nothing.”


  “Whether I live or die has nothing to do with him.”


  Shen Fanxing held Ji Fengmian’s hand tightly in disapproval.

  Ji Fengmian pursed his lips and sighed.

  “Enough! You still have the mood to care about others?”


  “I’m not in the mood.”


  Even though there was no major problem, the injury on his knee still made Yu Song insist on getting a ward and the best observer.

  Master wasn’t around and something had happened to Madam. He definitely wouldn’t have a good ending.

  The conditions in the ward were not bad and Ji Fengmian decided not to go back. He would stay at the hospital to accompany Shen Fanxing.

  The quiet ward was perfect for chatting.

  However, other than some trivial matters, neither of them said what they wanted to know the most.

  It wasn’t because there was a barrier between the mother and daughter, but because they tacitly didn’t want to touch each other’s privacy.

  He was afraid that they would accidentally poke at each other’s sore spots during the years when they were empty.

  “…Qingzhi will be going back in a few days. Someone from the Li family is urging her. She’s pregnant and it’s indeed not appropriate for her to stay out for too long.”


  Xu Qingzhi was like a child who had grown up in a wealthy family. She could travel freely between Shen Fanxing and Ji Fengmian.

  However, no matter how carefree she was, she was no longer alone like before.

  Shen Fanxing frowned and asked, “Who’s urging her to go back?”


  “The old lady of the Li family,” said Ji Fengmian. “She called me personally yesterday. She sounded anxious. She didn’t seem to know that Qingzhi had returned to Ping Cheng.”


  Shen Fanxing’s heart ached as she stared at the ceiling.

  “Qingzhi has been out for nearly a month. Everyone in the Li family only knows now…”


  Ji Fengmian frowned slightly.

  “Are you saying that the Li family doesn’t treat her well?”


  Shen Fanxing shook her head and said, “Old Lady Li likes Qingzhi very much. However, he and Limo are staying in the wedding room outside. If Qingzhi wants to hide it, it’s easy for her to reject the Li family.

  But Qingzhi was Qingzhi. She had been out for so long… Old Lady Li must have just found out that Qingzhi was in Ping Cheng City.

  I’m thinking… in the past month after Qingzhi came out, what was Limo thinking when he faced that empty wedding room alone… or…


  Her voice trailed off and her expression darkened.

  “Or what?”


  “Or… Limo never appeared in that wedding room…”


  “…”


  “…”


  There was a long silence in the ward.

  Ji Fengmian suddenly thought of Qingzhi, who smiled every day and could eat and drink.

  Apart from having her own career, the rest of a woman’s life was to marry happiness.

  She had lost, missed, and never…


  Therefore, she knew how lucky she was to be married to happiness.

  Forcing oneself to feel happy was not happiness, but torture.

  “If that’s the case, why did she…”


  “Because if we miss this opportunity, she and Limo will never be together again.”


  Shen Fanxing blinked and said calmly, “It’s all unavoidable. I don’t think Qingzhi can figure it out. Limo is her hurdle.”


  What was so good about Li Mo?

  It just happened to enter Qing Zhi’s heart.

  She didn’t know what was good about him, but she liked him.

  She knew that he was bad, but she still liked him.

  All she could think of was him.

  If he made a mistake, you could think of a million excuses to make yourself forgive him.

  If he was a little sad, you would be a thousand times worse…


  She didn’t want to, but she couldn’t help it.

  Ji Fengmian remained silent.

  Force majeure…


  That was indeed the case.

  —


  Shen Fanxing didn’t let Yu Song tell Bo Jinchuan about this.

  Yu Song weighed his options and didn’t say anything.

  The longer he lived, the better.

  …


  There was no need for the Bo Consortium to do anything because the internet had forcefully accused her of theft. Her reputation and Stars International would be affected.

  It even affected the reputation of Zhi Qin Cosmetics.

  The next day when Shen Fanxing was discharged, Xu Qingzhi came to look for her.

  Shen Fanxing didn’t mention anything and neither did Xu Qingzhi.

  On the way home, he said,

  “After being out for so long, there are already a lot of things that the company needs me to handle. Fortunately, you’re fine, so I can return to Rong City in peace.”


  Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and said, “You should handle the company’s matters normally. Don’t be anxious.”


  After a pause, she smiled and said, “Perhaps you can consider informing the manufacturer to increase the production of a batch of goods.”


  Xu Qingzhi looked at her and laughed. “I knew you were up to no good again.”


  Shen Fanxing smiled.

  Xu Qingzhi immediately clung to him.

  “Tell me, what do you want?”


  Shen Fanxing shook her head and said, “The secrets of heaven can’t be revealed.”


  Xu Qingzhi pouted and leaned back lazily.

  “I know you a little. If you want to go to the Bo family, so be it. It’s not like you to make a big fuss over a servant…”


  Shen Fanxing smiled at her good friend who had been with her for many years. “Madam Chen has worked for Yuan Sichun many times in the past. She has mocked me secretly. I’m so petty. How can I let her be smug forever?”


  It’s just that I’m lucky to see her harming others. I can find a reason to get her out of the Bo family.”


  Xu Qingzhi nodded mysteriously.

  “You’re indeed lucky. But even if you didn’t make it in time, you won’t let that Madam Chen off this time, right? Not only can you chase her away, but you can also attract everyone’s attention. It’s the best of both worlds, right?”


  Birds of a feather flock together.

  Xu Qingzhi and Shen Fanxing were good friends, so there must be similarities.

  Both of them were shrewd people. Other than being stubborn in love, they were not inferior to men in the business world.

  Xu Qingzhi’s guess was completely correct, but she was still frowning in confusion.

  “But you made such a big fuss? Now it’s a mess. What are you going to do next?”
