After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

"Stand still." The voice came from above, indifferent and low, but not stern.

Ji Nianci quickly stood up straight. Shen Ceyan released his arm from hers and walked towards Zhou An, his expression so gloomy that it sent chills down one's spine.

"Didn't I warn you yesterday? You dare to lay a hand on my men? I think you've really had enough of living."

Shen Ceyan was a whole head taller than Zhou An. As he spoke, Shen Ceyan grabbed Zhou An by the collar and lifted him up as easily as if he were a chick, then threw him heavily to the ground.

Then, he pressed his knee against the man's lower abdomen, grabbed the man's shoulder with his left hand, and punched him in the face with his right.

As Zhou An was being beaten until he was dizzy and seeing stars, Shen Ceyan punched him on the other side of the face.

"Ah... Stop hitting me, stop hitting me..." Zhou An cried out in pain, curling up into a ball, but dared not resist.

Shen Ceyan grabbed his collar again and lifted him up. Zhou An thought he was going to be hit again, so he covered his cheeks tightly with his hands and said weakly, "Don't hit my face..."

"Apologize." His eyes were dark, and he suppressed his anger. His firm and powerful voice was a stark contrast to Zhou An's earlier pleas for mercy.

"I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Zhou Ansheng begged for mercy haphazardly, afraid of being beaten again.

"Who are you apologizing to?" Shen Ceyan released his grip on his collar and asked coldly.

Zhou An paused for a moment, as if suddenly realizing something, and took a few steps to walk to the memorial to Ci Ci.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you. Please forgive me. I shouldn't have talked nonsense to you either. I'm sorry..."

Ci glanced at him sideways, her expression impassive, but inwardly she was thinking:

Shen Ceyan is so handsome! How come she never noticed he could be so charming before?

"See? When I asked you to break up with me, you should have readily agreed and gotten out of here. Now look what happened, we've all ended up not having a good time."

Despite saying that, Ji Nianci crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her eyebrows and smiled, not at all looking unhappy.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have bothered you. Please let me go, okay?" At this moment, Zhou An didn't care about saving face anymore and only wanted to beg for mercy.

Shen Ceyan took a wad of cash from the bodyguard next to him, threw it in front of Zhou An, and said to him, "This is for your medical expenses. Is it really worth you crying and begging for money in front of a woman for such a small thing? Calling you a gigolo is too kind of you."

Zhou An was hunched over, surrounded by the whispers and jeers of those around him. Shame made his face turn red and his body tremble slightly, but he dared not utter a word in rebuttal.

He squatted down and picked up the banknotes that had fallen to the ground with a sense of shame.

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?"

Shen Ceyan patted the woman who was still secretly pleased, took her hand, and walked straight ahead.

A warm and strong hand enveloped hers, and Ji Nianci could almost hear her heart pounding. When she looked up, she saw Shen Ceyan's tall back, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a solid, reassuring presence.

"Honey, you looked so handsome just now." Ji Nianci quickened her pace to his side, took his arm with both hands, leaned her head slightly against him, and said in an adoring tone.

"What kind of trick are you up to now?" Shen Ceyan glanced at her sideways, clearly not believing what she said.

"I didn't have any ulterior motives, I just found you very charming." Ji Nianci tried her best to explain.

"Alright, get in the car first." The assistant opened the car door for them, and Shen Ceyan took her hand and helped her in.

After they were seated, Jinian Ci began to defend herself again: "You saw it too, I went there specifically to break up with him today. I see him for who he really is now. I even had all the things I wanted to say to him ready, but I never expected him to suddenly push me... But you suddenly showing up and beating him up was so cool! You have no idea how satisfying it was for me to see that..."

"What, you feel proud to have broken up with your boyfriend in front of your husband?" Shen Ceyan interrupted her coolly.

“I…” Ji Nianci deflated instantly, like a punctured balloon, and sat in her seat for a long time without saying a word.

Just then, the assistant suddenly knocked on the car window. Shen Ceyan rolled down the window and took the bag from the assistant. The bag contained cotton swabs, iodine, and band-aids.

Ji Nianci looked at the items and scanned him from head to toe. She asked with some concern, "What's wrong? Are you hurt? Did that bastard hurt you? Let me see..." As she spoke, she tried to pounce on him.

"Sit still! Don't touch me." Shen Ceyan quickly pressed her down.

Even though she was being held down, Ji Nianci was restless, her eyes constantly glancing at him.

Shen Ceyan sighed silently, "I'm fine, look at your hand."

He then raised her hand for her to see.

Only then did Ji Nianci notice a shallow cut on her fair hand, probably from a shard of the cup Zhou An had just smashed.

"Really, I didn't even feel it myself... but now that I've noticed, it seems to hurt a little."

Looking at the man in front of her, a warm feeling washed over her. She hadn't even noticed such a small thing herself, but he had noticed it and bought her a band-aid. He really cared about her.

"What are you standing there for? Do it yourself." Shen Ceyan placed the bag next to her.

"No, I want you to do it for me, please..." Ji Nianci looked up at him, her big, watery eyes full of pleading.

"Don't you have hands?" Although he said that, he actually couldn't stand that kind of look in her eyes.

As Shen Ceyan spoke, he took out iodine from the bag.

"I can't do it with one hand..." Ji Nianci muttered softly.

"Straighten your arm." Shen Ceyan grasped her wrist and gently applied iodine-soaked cotton swabs to the wound.

Seeing the man's careful manner, as if he were handling a rare treasure, Ji Nianci was deeply moved and said to him, "Actually, you don't need to be so careful, it doesn't hurt at all... Ouch! Shen Ceyan, be gentle with me!"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Ceyan pressed down with some force.

"You won't learn your lesson until you feel the pain." Shen Ceyan's tone was cold, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"I don't know how I ever fell for him. I don't know how much money he's cheated out of me over the years..." As she spoke, Jinian Ci began to regret, "I was so blind back then..."

"I'm glad you finally realize your judgment needs improvement." Shen Ceyan remained calm, but his tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

Ji Nianci wasn't angry. She smiled and said to him, "Well, I also have times when I have exceptionally good taste. It's just that I met you. I must have been incredibly lucky in my past life."

Shen Ceyan scoffed, "All you do is talk the talk."

"No, I didn't. Everything I said is true. I know I've done a lot of things that hurt you before, but I've realized my mistakes and I'll change. Look at me today, I went to break up with that jerk, didn't I? I really like you and want to build a good life with you. Please believe me this once, okay?"
