Seeing Ren Yufei’s pale face, Sheng Bowen realized that he might have said something wrong and quickly tried to smoothen things. “If you don’t want to talk about it, we won’t.”


  “It’s not that……” Ren Yufei tilted her head to look at Sheng Bowen and replied, “I just feel that family matters can’t be brought up to the public.”


  “There’s nothing that can’t be brought up to the public. Look at Xiao Qi, she never belittles herself.” Sheng Bowen said, “If you’re willing to talk, I’ll listen. If not, then wait until the day you open the knot in your heart.”


  Ren Yufei was silent for a long time before admitting defeat in the end.

  “I have two younger brothers at home. Because in order to raise them, my parents sold me to a couple who couldn’t have children when I was four years old. However, a car accident happened and the couple passed. I was homeless and was sent back.

  “After that, my parents didn’t really care for me. I didn’t have anything that my younger brothers had. Therefore, I secretly swore that one day, I would escape from my biological family.

  “After I became an adult, I relied on my own efforts to get into university. I worked part-time to study. However, my parents knew my situation and wanted me to earn money to buy a house for my younger brothers. I couldn’t stand it anymore and broke off my relationship with my family.

  “After that, I entered Huang Yao and was taken in by President Sheng Kai. He asked me to……”


  “But you didn’t do anything to hurt me,” Sheng Bowen said with a smile.

  “At that time, I needed this income. I couldn’t get fired.”


  “But you didn’t go down the path in the end.” Sheng Bowen looked at her with a gentle expression. “You see, now that you’ve said it out loud, it’s not a big deal, right?”


  “Chairman…… You really don’t mind about my past?” Ren Yufei had no confidence. “I’m really self-aware. I really don’t want to climb up the ladder. I just……”


  “You just have feelings for me.”


  Ren Yufei did not say anything because Sheng Bowen had already spoken the truth.

  “Yufei, I was born into a wealthy family. I’m not as amazing as you think. I’ve also been imprisoned by the old man and lost my freedom and life. But since that’s all in the past, let’s move on, hmm?”


  Ren Yufei nodded after hearing this and felt a little relieved.

  Sheng Bowen might not be as capable as Sheng Xiao who could plan everything out. However, the feeling he gave people was very real. He might not be able to save you from a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, but when danger arose, he would definitely stand in front of you and bear the pain for you.

  “You’re probably the easiest person to get along with among the children from wealthy families.”


  “The rich aren’t as scary as you think. I can’t help mentioning Xiao Qi again. Is she difficult to get along with?”


  Ren Yufei shook her head.

  That was because although Mu Qiqi was born into a rich family, she had always been tortured by Mu Tangxue. Although she was only twenty, she was more understanding than many people.

  Soon, the two of them arrived at the airport. Mu Qiqi was already touching Sheng Minglan’s abdomen and whispering to her.

  “You’re finally here.” Sheng Minglan glared at Sheng Bowen. “I thought you weren’t coming.”


  “Not planning to see Grandpa before leaving?”


  “I visited him two days ago. Didn’t you know?” Sheng Minglan reached out and hugged Sheng Bowen. “Third brother, be happy.”


  Jing Yun still had his unsmiling expression on, but it was clear that his eyes did not leave Sheng Minglan.

  He was really nervous.

  “When you go abroad, call often,” Sheng Bowen reminded her.

  “Why did you bring your secretary to see us off?” Sheng Minglan deliberately teased.

  “That’s your future Third Sister-in-law.” Sheng Bowen rolled his eyes at her, then turned around and put his arm around Ren Yufei’s shoulder. “When this brother of yours gets married, don’t forget to give him a gift……”


  “Treat her well.”


  The few of them caught up with each other at the airport before finally sending the couple to the security checkpoint.

  Then, Mu Qiqi yawned at Sheng Xiao. “Let’s go, Xiao Xiao. Let’s go home to sleep…… You guys should go home to sleep too.”


  Ren Yufei’s ears instantly turned red when she heard that.

  “Xiao Qi, are you planning to go home to oppress Eighth Brother again?” Sheng Bowen teased her back.

  “That’s our bedroom matter. Do you…… have one?”


  Sheng Bowen choked. He knew that this girl was evil, but he still provoked her. He was asking for trouble.

  Mu Qiqi looked at the two of them, each stiffer than the other. She smiled and said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Secretary Ren, let’s keep in touch when we have time.”


  “Okay, Miss Mu.”


  Mu Qiqi looked at the two of them meaningfully and then went into Sheng Xiao’s arms. “It’s already March. How can it still be cold……”


  Sheng Bowen looked in the direction that Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao left and shook his head. Then, he turned to Ren Yufei and said, “Let’s go…… I’ll send you back too.”


  Ren Yufei’s face had turned red because of Mu Qiqi’s teasing.

  “Oh right, it’s grandfather’s birthday in a few days. You should come too.”


  Before getting into the car, Sheng Bowen told Ren Yufei.

  She didn’t pay attention to Sheng Bowen’s words because she noticed from the rearview mirror that someone seemed to be following them……

  Late that night, Hu Ran found out about Ren Yufei and Sheng Bowen’s intimate actions.

  After all, she had sent someone to follow them for several days.

  “Miss Hu, are you still following them?” That person asked Hu Ran.

  “There’s no need.” Hu Ran shook her head and sat on the chair. Her whole body was stiff because she found it hard to accept reality.

  “Oh right, there’s one more thing. Since yesterday, someone else has been following CEO Sheng.” Before that person left, he curiously said to Hu Ran, “At that time, I thought you had hired someone else. Later, I saw that it wasn’t you.”


  “Why not?”


  “Because I saw with my own eyes that that person got into an expensive car. I asked my friend to check the license plate and found out that the car belonged to the Gu family.”


  After Hu Ran heard this, she vaguely guessed that the other party might be Sheng Kai’s man.

  Sheng Bowen was not Sheng Xiao who could easily notice danger around him. He could withstand the damage, but he did not have any defense.

  After hearing this news, her anger subsided by a significant amount.

  “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.” The man saw that Hu Ran did not move and thought that Hu Ran did not care.

  However, Hu Ran stopped him. “Wait, continue to follow Sheng Bowen for me, and especially the person who followed him.”


  “I understand, Miss Hu.”


  Papa Hu heard the conversation between the two outside Hu Ran’s room. He sighed and entered the room to pat his daughter’s shoulder. “Why are you doing this? Since you’re so angry, why don’t you just let Third Young Master go?”


  “Father, I……”


  “I know. You’re worried. Did you realize that your feelings for Third Young Master have turned possessive, worried, and angry, but you just don’t…… feel heartache?”


  Hu Ran didn’t say anything……

  “That’s because to him, you are more like a family member.”


  “A special family member, a family member who had gone through thick and thin together!”
