Jiang Mian looked down at her wrist, which he was holding. He was even using his less convenient right hand.

The movement caused his wound to throb with pain. But Lu Bozhou remained unfazed; he needed this kind of pain.

This will help him to clear his head and ask the question he wants to ask.

"And what about you?" Lu Bozhou's deep eyes were filled with intense gaze.

"What?" Jiang Mian looked at his right hand, which was still on her wrist. Because of the wound, she couldn't even shake it off.

"Do you still love me?"

This simple sentence almost resonated with his heartbeat.

Jiang Mian was silent for a few seconds, then said, "That's not important."

Lu Bozhou's heart sank.

Once, loving him was the most important thing to her, but now she says it's no longer important.

Lu Bozhou would rather she say she no longer loves him than hear her say it's unimportant. Her love or lack thereof is important to him.

Jiang Yu was worried about his sister, so he came to pick her up.

"Why are you sleeping here?" Jiang Yu walked in and was about to hug Lu Chaochi.

Jiang Mian said, "It's alright, let him sleep here tonight, so he won't worry."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Mian, "And what about you?"

Jiang Mian could tell what he was worried about just by looking at his eyes.

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "I was already planning to go back anyway."

Jiang Yu was initially not entirely at ease with Lu Chaochi, but then he thought that Lu Bozhou would never mistreat his own son.

Moreover, even a blind man could see that Lu Bozhou wanted to win back Jiang Mian, and his son was arguably his only bargaining chip.

"Let's go." Jiang Mian said, glancing at Lu Bozhou. "He probably won't wake up tonight. If he does, just give him some warm water. We'll come pick him up tomorrow."

Lu Bozhou looked at her. "Are you coming?"

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at him.

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do it."

After saying that, she leaned on her crutch and walked towards the door, turning to Jiang Yu in a low voice, "It's not like I can't go home by myself, why did you make this special trip..."

Lu Bozhou heard Jiang Yu's muttering voice drift over, "That's not necessarily true. Who knows if you'll soften your heart because of his self-inflicted injury? You're the easiest to soften your heart. Didn't you stay by his side the whole time when he was unconscious? You almost got yourself killed in the process..."

Jiang Yu muttered to himself.

Even though she already knew that she had been by her side while she was unconscious, she was still surprised to hear Jiang Yu's words.

Lu Bozhou couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

After they left, the ward fell silent.

Lu Bozhou looked at the child curled up asleep beside him. He gently brushed the child's hair from his forehead with his fingers.

In the following days, Jiang Mian would accompany the child to the hospital to visit him whenever she felt like it, without deliberately avoiding him. Sometimes she would bring Lu Bozhou some food.

Sometimes, after dropping her child off at Lu Bozhou's ward, she would go to the physiotherapy department for treatment.

After a few days, Lu Bozhou seemed to have gotten used to it. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he also felt that maybe it was because he missed her too much.

That's why there's this misconception that they're already an old married couple.

Gong Yan was busy with work, and after winning the divorce case for Jiang Mian, her reputation in divorce cases suddenly soared.

So when I finally had some free time, I learned that Jiang Mian had taken her child to the hospital several days ago.

To say it's because you're disappointed in someone... well, that's not quite it.

To be honest, things have come to this point.

Even if Jiang Mian really compromises and softens her heart, Gong Yan will only think it's fate. Perhaps it was destined between her and Lu Bozhou.

Even if it's a tragic fate, it's still destiny.

I finally had a day off.

Gong Yan accompanied Jiang Mian to the hospital. On the way there, Gong Yan whispered, "I think you just can't do anything about him."

In the past, Jiang Mian might have denied it. Gong Yan originally thought Jiang Mian would also deny it, but to her surprise, she just smiled.

He said, "Maybe."

These words stunned Gong Yan. "Are you serious?"

Jiang Mian didn't really want to tell Gong Yan that she had seen many scenes and had many memories while she was unconscious.

So after thinking for a moment, he said, "Even now, I can't say that I have absolutely no feelings for this man. I can stubbornly say that I don't, but a person's heart can deceive others, but it can't deceive itself."

Gong Yan sighed softly upon hearing this.

"But I can't say I have absolutely no resentment. So the resentment is still there, and the feelings aren't gone either. There's also a child between us. No matter how much I wish things could be simpler, things just get more complicated, so..."

Jiang Mian looked at Gong Yan and said, "I accept my fate and let nature take its course. It's not that I'm going to immediately suppress my resentment, but I also don't intend to cut all ties with her forever."

When Gong Yan saw that Jiang Mian's expression was very calm, she suddenly realized that Jiang Mian had probably considered this matter a thousand times before making this decision.

"Let nature take its course and see where the complicated and tangled relationship between him and me will lead me."

As Jiang Mian spoke, she turned to Gong Yan and smiled, "Isn't it great? Look at me now, I have money and free time, and handsome men are eager to be with me."

Gong Yan sighed softly and remained silent.

This surprised Jiang Mian, and she asked, "You're not going to scold me?"

“What’s there to scold?” Gong Yan sighed. “I used to criticize you because I was afraid you would act impulsively and emotionally. Now it seems that this was a well-thought-out decision. So as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. You’ve suffered too much. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”

Gong Yan took Jiang Mian to the hospital. As soon as the car stopped, she saw Lu Bozhou already standing at the entrance waiting for her.

She was dressed casually, with medium-length hair that hadn't been trimmed and was simply tied up in a half-updo at the back of her head.

Compared to before, when you always wore a suit and tie and had a cold and aloof demeanor, this is a far cry from your previous appearance.

He seemed very relaxed and natural at that moment, more like a real person.

Gong Yan had actually planned to take Jiang Mian to the hospital and then go back to her office to work; she hadn't even planned to get out of the car.

But seeing Lu Bozhou standing there waiting, Gong Yan gritted her teeth and got out of the car.

Watching Lu Bozhou open the car door, pull out Jiang Mian's elbow, and then reach out to help her out of the car.

"Long time no see." Lu Bozhou looked at Gong Yan, his voice surprisingly gentle.

Gong Yan frowned at him, "Have you taken the wrong medicine? All you can do is use a self-inflicted injury trick to fool soft-hearted people like Jiang Mian."

Lu Bozhou's expression didn't change. After a few seconds of pause, he said, "Song Xun will talk to you soon."

"What do you want to talk about?" Gong Yan's gaze was somewhat wary.

"We plan to outsource the exclusive legal services contracts between Dingsheng and Lu's Group to your firm," Lu Bozhou said calmly.

Gong Yan was no longer calm. What a joke! Those are Dingsheng and Lu's Group, two behemoths. Regardless of whether it's true or not.

Even if it were true, her firm couldn't handle such a huge project.

"What are you plotting? Don't tell me you're trying to distract me with work so you can bully Jiang Mian?"

Jiang Mian couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
