When Bo Jinran returned to the Bo family, Bo Yunyan was waiting for him at the door of the main hall.

He changed back into a simple white monk's robe, with a string of emerald Buddhist beads around his neck. He closed his eyes and counted the beads while muttering to himself.

Although he is young, he looks even older than him, who is now on the decline.

Bo Jinran frowned slightly, got out of the car and walked up to him, his eyes helpless: "Every time I go to see her, I have nightmares. Why don't you listen?"

Bo Yunyan clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Buddha said that from desire comes worry, and from worry comes fear..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Bo Jinran raised his hand to stop them, took off his coat and handed it to the bodyguard beside him, then walked inside. "Don't leave now that you're back. I told your master before that you should stay in the temple until you're 22, and it's only a few months away."

I thought Bo Yunyan would refuse as usual, but this time, after he finished speaking, Bo Yunyan nodded and said one word: "Okay."

Bo Jinran happened to be in front of the wine cabinet. He turned around and looked at him with a slightly surprised look, "Really?"

Bo Yunyan nodded again, his eyes serious: "I found her, I want to accompany her and protect her."

Bo Jinran's eyes flashed, his Adam's apple rolled, and he took the red wine and wine glass from the wine cabinet.

He walked to the coffee table and sat down, pouring half a glass of red wine, then looked up at Bo Yunyan, "She already has someone to accompany her and protect her."

"It's ok."

Bo Yunyan slowly fiddled with the Buddhist beads, "I am her brother. When she needs me, I will be there."

Bo Jinran looked at the clarity and persistence in his eyes, and slowly fell silent.

Over the years, Bo Jinran has actually been very clear about this.

Bo Yunyan stayed in the temple not so much to free himself from his nightmare, but rather for the little girl who they all thought had been killed by An Mingyao long ago.

He was praying for the soul of his twin sister, whom he had never met, and also for the sins of his mother.

Even if Bo Jinran had never told Bo Yunyan, An Mingyao's crazy words would always make people understand if they thought about it more.

That sentence: "I will kill you, you useless thing, why is it a daughter, I will kill you——"

Let them all think that their daughter had already been killed by the madman An Mingyao.

Of course, An Mingyao said the same thing to Bo Jinran back then.

She said she had strangled her missing daughter to death and then threw her to feed the stray dogs.

Bo Jinran asked someone to check, but by then it had been almost ten days since An Mingyao gave birth to the child, and there was no trace of it at all.

If such a small baby was really strangled to death and fed to dogs as she said, there probably wouldn't be even a bone left.

At that time, Bo Jinran thought that this woman was a lunatic.

He took Bo Yunyan away and locked An Mingyao up, not allowing her to go out.

She was like a time bomb. No one knew what she would do or say if she ran out, and it might endanger Bo Yunyan's safety.

An Mingyao went crazy as she was locked up day by day.

Maybe she was pretending to be crazy at first, begging and scolding constantly, and slowly she really went crazy.

Therefore, Bo Jinran did not expect that his daughter did not die, but survived and was sent to the capital of Country C.

Was it done by the An family?

Bo Jinran guessed.

He closed his eyes, drank the red wine, stood up and left, saying to Bo Yunyan in a low voice, "Get some rest early. We'll go to the Lu family tomorrow. Since she's the daughter of the Bo family, we must let her return home in style."

"Father."

Bo Yunyan called him.

When he turned around, Bo Yunyan seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just said, "Good night, father."

Bo Jinran was silent for a few seconds, then curled his lips and said, "Good night."

Bo Jinran returned to the room, loosened his tie and lay down on the sofa. Perhaps because of the alcohol, he felt dizzy.

He fell asleep like that, and in his dream he returned to more than 20 years ago.

It goes back to the time when Lu Tian had a miscarriage and was taken back to the Lu family.

He was a little surprised when he heard about it and ran to Lu's house to find her. She was leaning on the bed, looking pale and haggard.

Having a miscarriage late in pregnancy would cause great harm to her body.

She had to stay in bed for more than a month.

Seeing him, she curled her lips in grievance: "Bo Er, I'm almost moldy."

He stood beside her bed and frowned at her: "What's going on?"

She lowered her head and said, "Nothing happened. I just accidentally lost the baby and I don't want to live with him anymore."

"careless?"

Bo Jinran could tell that she was lying, but she refused to say anything, so he didn't force her to ask.

He only asked her: "What do you mean by not wanting to live with him anymore?"

"I just don't want to continue."

Lu Tian looked up at him again, her eyes moist. "I hate him so much now. I'm divorcing him and will stay in the capital and never go anywhere else."

His eyes flickered slightly: "Really?"

She nodded: "Of course, when did I, Lu Tian, ​​ever tell a lie?"

Bo Jinran thought for a moment and said, "Often."

Lu Tian glared at him: "Are you here to piss me off?"

He subconsciously curled his lips and said, "I'm here to comfort you."

Lu Tian was very dissatisfied: "Is there anyone who can comfort others like you?"

He sighed softly: "How can I comfort you?"

"Then hug me."

She stretched out her hand to him, openly and aggrievedly: "Actually, I am a little sad. That bastard Qi Muci bullied me!"

Bo Jinran looked at her hand extending towards him, froze for a moment, then sat down on the edge of the bed and slowly held her in his arms.

She is so thin.

How did Qi Muci make her so haggard and thin?

Bo Jinran frowned, "What are you sad about?"

He couldn't help but whisper, "Our Miss Lu Tian is still so young, only 20 years old. It's really unrealistic for a girl of your age to get married and have children!"

He felt a little disappointed: "Look at you, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, you can choose any man you want, but you have to follow him."

He said: "You will stay in the imperial capital in the future. With the Lu family and me, who will dare to bully you?"

She leaned on his shoulder and listened to him. She muttered, "Indeed, family is still reliable."

His eyes flickered when he heard that, and he said nothing more.

Until she fell asleep, he gently raised his hand, tucked the messy hair behind her ears, and gently pinched her ears: "Idiot."

After that, he had been investigating what happened to her in Kyoto.

But both the Qi and Lu families covered up this matter very well. Family disgrace should not be made public. Lu Tian was very concerned about her reputation and refused to let others know that she was pushed down by the woman Qi Muci brought back.

Those who knew helped her keep it a secret.

If he asked her a few more questions, she would find him annoying.

He had no choice but to stop asking and just go to Lu's house to accompany her every few days.

Then, Qi Muci also followed.

He waited outside the Lu family's house all day long, begging to see her.

He asked Lu Tian at that time: "Will you go back with him?"

Lu Tian snorted coldly: "No, if he comes to beg me, do I have to go back with him? I said I won't go back with him, and I won't. Can't I, Lu Tian, ​​find a man?"

Bo Jinran asked her again: "Do you still like him?"

She was silent.

He also fell silent.

After a long while, Bo Jinran told her, "My father asked me to go study at a foreign company next month. It may take more than half a year for me to come back."

Lu Tian nodded: "You go, it's time for you to take over the family."

At their age, they have begun to slowly take over the family business. The Bo family has a simple network of connections, and Bo Jinran has been designated as the heir since he was a child, so naturally he has to work harder.

Bo Jinran looked at her calm expression at his departure and swallowed back what he wanted to say. Finally, he thought of something and said with a smile, "When I come back, it will probably be Miss Lu Tian's 21st birthday. I will have a gift for you then."

She was curious: "What gift?"

Bo Jinran: "You'll know when the time comes."

"alright."

She stopped asking questions.

She has never been that curious about his affairs.

His heart felt heavy because he knew what this meant.

After sitting with her for a while, he stood up and left. When he left, he couldn't help but look back at her and asked softly, "Are you really not going back with him?"

She threw a pillow over and said, "Are you annoying? If I say I can't do it, then I can't do it. Stop asking."

Bo Jinran felt a little relieved.

He left the capital and went to a foreign branch.

It was a really busy time. He had a reversed day and night schedule and could only sleep three or four hours a day. He could only find time to send her messages every day. In the first one or two months, she replied normally.

But gradually she stopped replying to him, occasionally replying to him with a sentence: "I just saw the message. Aren't you very busy at work? How do you still have time to message me every day?"

He frowned as he looked at the message, and finally one day, he couldn't help but want to tell her: Because I will miss you...

Before she finished typing, she sent another message: "Bo Er, do you think that if I forgive Qi Muci, will it make me look spineless?"

He looked at the message and his eyes became silent for a moment.

After a long while of deleting the words he had typed, he sent her a message: "Indeed."

Lu Tian: "Forget it, I won't tell you."

At that time, Bo Jinran realized something and he couldn't bear it anymore.

It was already past four in the morning when he finished work that day, but he still arranged to fly back. He took a nap for more than two hours on the plane, and then went straight to the Lu family when he arrived in the capital.

It was seven in the morning, he thought, he had half an hour to talk to her, although he felt that she would definitely not be awake by then and she would be very angry if he woke her up.

But when he thought of her angry look, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

But he didn't expect that he would see her at the door of the Lu family. She looked at Qi Muci in front of her with a worried look: "You have been kneeling here all night, don't your knees hurt?"

"Qi Muci, could you please stop being so annoying!"

Bo Jinran's pupils shrank slightly and he asked the driver to stop.

He didn't get out of the car, but just looked at them quietly through the window.

That time he heard their conversation and also heard An Mingyao's name for the first time.

Then, watching Lu Tian help Qi Muci into the car and leave for the hospital, he closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, then asked the driver to turn around and go back to where the car was parked.

He still has to go back to the company for a meeting.

But he could never forget the name An Mingyao.

He always said that Lu Tian was impulsive, and he was impulsive too that time.

His impulsiveness created the current cause and effect.

After finishing his work abroad, he returned to the imperial capital and had An Mingyao brought over.

At that time, he thought, this woman hurt Lu Tian, ​​so if he taught her a lesson on Lu Tian's behalf, would Lu Tian be happy?

But when the woman was brought here, she had just given birth.

The person who brought her back said that she was born prematurely, having given birth at seven months, and her body was extremely weak.

Bo Jinran looked at the panicked woman in silence for a long time, and could only threaten her a few times and let her leave.

And Lu Tian...

Every time I visited her or talked to her afterwards, she almost always talked about Qi Muci.

Every time she would ask him: Do you think I am too useless for doing this?

Bo Jinran's eyes were empty and his voice was cold. He said to her, "Lu Tian, ​​you know it, why are you asking me?"

"I……"

Before she could finish, he hung up on her for the first time.

Then I never contacted her again.

Later, I heard that she and Qi Muci returned to the imperial capital, and she really loved Qi Muci.

He just thought: You useless thing will come back crying sooner or later.

But she has been gone for nearly two years.

Bo Jinran's father passed away suddenly, and he met the woman he thought had left long ago. She was pregnant with his father's child.

He got very drunk that night.

He called Lu Tian via video and wanted to say, "Lu Tian, ​​my father is gone."

I also want to say: "Lu Tian, ​​hug me too..."

After the video call was connected, he saw her holding a child and said with surprise and joy, "Oh, you finally got around to contacting me. I thought our Bo Er had forgotten about our old friend after inheriting the family business."

She smiled and said to the child in her arms, "Ayan, call Uncle Bo. He's Mom's good friend. Let him protect you from now on."

Bo Jinran looked at the child in her arms, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and he couldn't tell whether it was bitter or astringent.

He smiled and said to her, "Lu Tian, ​​I'm going to be a father too."

She was surprised: "Really? Congratulations, but who is your wife? Do I know her?"

"do not know."

Bo Jinran said, "You don't know him."

He hung up the video.

Afraid that the tears that would fall in the next second would scare her.

That night, he sat there all night holding the 21st birthday gift he prepared for her.

He went to the company as usual in the morning. The secretary made him a cup of coffee. He glanced at it and asked someone to change it in a calm voice, "From now on, no sugar will be added."

The secretary was very surprised: "Didn't the boss like to add sugar before?"

He muttered, "I thought the boss liked sweet things..."

Bo Jinran curled his lips slightly: "It used to be."

but……

"From now on, there will be no sweetness."
