Miss Shen ran away after finishing her meal, which angered her short-lived uncle to the point of res

Shen Feiwan called Chen Youen to explain the aftermath, and the two left Beicheng overnight. By the time Lin Xiaoyan found out the next day, their plane had already landed on the runway in Nancheng.

In the northern part of the city, Bo Junxing was helpless against Lin Xiaoyan; similarly, in the southern part of the city, Lin Xiaoyan was also powerless to act.

After that, every now and then, Lin Xiaoyan would receive a divorce agreement from Shen Feiwan's lawyer, but he always refused to sign it. Shen Feiwan wasn't in a hurry; this tug-of-war was something she had anticipated.

When Old Master Bo learned that Bo Junxing had brought Shen Feiwan back to Nancheng, he was furious. But all this trouble had nothing to do with Shen Feiwan—Bo Junxing always stood in front of her, shielding her from all the storms.

For this reason, Song Yanzhou teased Bo Junxing a lot, and even changed Bo Junxing's nickname in his phone contacts and all social media apps to "Love Brain".

Bo Junxing himself didn't care about this at all and continued to do things his own way.

His life became exceptionally simple, focusing on only two things each day: work and personal matters.

Business matters go without saying, but personal matters encompass everything related to Shen Feiwan, from the temperature of her favorite coffee to the type of flowers that need to be changed in the room; he carefully kept every detail in mind.

However, this period of time revolving around Shen Feiwan did not last long, because Bo Junxing's business trip, which had been delayed for a long time, could no longer be postponed.

Bo Junxing brought this up afterward.

Thin, warm lips traced a path down Shen Feiwan's earlobe, lingering on her slender neck, each light peck carrying a hint of reluctance. His arms tightly encircled her waist, pressing her even deeper into his embrace, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

Shen Feiwan obediently tilted her head back, her fingers running through his slightly damp hair, feeling his more ardent demands than usual. But even in this enchanting atmosphere, she still keenly sensed something amiss.

"You're a little different tonight..." Her voice carried a languid quality, "like you are tonight."

Bo Junxing paused, then looked up to meet her eyes. The warm yellow bedside lamp cast a shadow between his deep-set eyes, revealing the turbulent emotions swirling within them.

“I’m going on a business trip abroad in a few days,” he said, his thumb gently stroking her waist. “It might last a month. I really want to take you with me.”

“Sure,” Shen Feiwan said, gently tracing circles on the back of his neck with her fingers. “Anyway, I don’t have anything to do lately.”

Bo Junxing frowned, his forehead pressed against hers, "Actually, I want to too, but..." His kiss landed on her collarbone, "Foreign countries are not as safe as Nancheng."

As he spoke, his voice turned serious, "If those people on the dark web haven't given up and are still looking for you, then you're in danger. I don't want you to be in danger..."

The unfinished words disappeared in their intertwined breaths. Shen Feiwan could feel his tense muscles and the unspeakable worry in his eyes.

Shen Feiwan's fingers gently ran through his thin, even hair, her fingertips caressing his roots. "Indeed, it might even implicate you, so let's just forget about it."

Bo Junxing gave a soft "Mmm," his nose brushing against the crook of her neck. "But I really can't bear to part with you." His voice was muffled. "You won't disappear again after I come back from my business trip, will you?"

Shen Feiwan chuckled, "How could that be?" She pinched his earlobe, "Even if I go somewhere else to play while you're not around, I'll let you know."

Bo Junxing immediately sat up, staring intently at her. "You're not allowed to leave. If you're bored, invite your family and friends over. Nancheng is a very nice city, you know that."

“Speaking of this…” Shen Feiwan drew circles on his chest with her fingertips, “You’en might come to see me in a couple of days.”

Bo Junxing's eyes lit up. "That's perfect." He lowered his head and gently bit her collarbone. "Let your best friend keep you company."

But then he suddenly became alert again, "But you can't let her lead you astray, and you two can't go to shady places."

Shen Feiwan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What do you mean by a shady place?"

"Nightclubs and the like."

“You know I don’t drink alcohol at all.” Shen Feiwan looked up at Bo Junxing. “If she comes, we might write code together.”

Bo Junxing's eyes lit up. "That's great!" He excitedly kissed the tip of her nose. "You can write at home. You don't need to go anywhere. I'll take care of your meals."

Shen Feiwan raised an eyebrow. "You're so controlling."

Bo Junxing gently captured her lips with his, whispering as he caressed them, "I have a very strong possessive desire for you..."

His hands were intertwined with hers, "but it was definitely not a controlling gesture."

After a deep kiss, he pressed his forehead against hers, panting, "I won't object to whatever you want to do."

His lips fell again, this time as softly as a feather. "I love you, but you will always be free."

Hearing Bo Junxing's words, Shen Feiwan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, a gentle smile playing on her lips, "Bo Junxing."

"Hmm?" Bo Junxing looked down at her, his nose gently brushing against her cheek. "I'm here, what's wrong?"

“You seem to be…” Shen Feiwan’s fingertips traced his brow bone, “really quite good.”

Bo Junxing immediately nudged her waist, feigning grievance, "You only just realized?" He leaned down and gently bit her ear, "I'm so heartbroken..."

His warm hand traced the contours of her waist. "Now we must turn our sorrow into motivation..."

"Ah!" Shen Feiwan laughed as she dodged his movement, nimbly flipping herself off the bed. "I'm going to take a shower, I'm not coming."

One day later, Bo Junxing set off for a business trip abroad.

On the third day, Chen Youen arrived in Nancheng.

She didn't let Shen Feiwan pick her up; she took a taxi to Shen Feiwan's place herself.

As soon as she entered, she complained, "That Lin Xiaoyan! He actually sent people to ambush me at the airport! Luckily, you and Bo Jun left in time."

Shen Feiwan frowned. "Why didn't you tell me about this on the phone before?"

"I was thinking I could handle it myself, so I didn't want you to worry. By the way, Number Three in Beicheng has taken over, and I heard he got the mining rights he wanted. After you left, I felt like his relationship with the Lin family was completely unaffected, and he achieved all his goals... Do you think you should talk to him again? Maybe he'll sign the divorce papers?"

Shen Feiwan pursed her lips. "What are you thinking about?"

She poured a glass of water and handed it to Chen Youen, saying, "If he were really that easy to talk to, would he have sent someone to wait for you at the airport?"

“Right!” Chen Youen clicked her tongue. “Look at my old brain, which I’ve used for decades, it just doesn’t work. So if he absolutely refuses, then we can only wait and see?”

Shen Feiwan nodded gently, "Yes, it'll be at most a year."

Chen Youen tilted her head and looked at her, "I see that your relationship with Bo Junxing is quite stable now, but it's not proper and doesn't make sense..."

"Haven't I done enough illegitimate things?" Shen Feiwan chuckled. "One more wouldn't make a difference."

“That’s true,” Chen Youen winked mischievously, “As long as you don’t betray me, haha, I’ll stand by your side no matter what you do.”

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Feiwan's phone, which was on the coffee table, suddenly rang.

Upon seeing the three characters "Lin Xiaoyan" flashing on the screen, the two of them were simultaneously taken aback.

"Oh my god!" Chen Youen was speechless. "I really know how to bring up the most awkward topics... No, I should say, speak of the devil and he appears!"

Shen Feiwan frowned slightly, her fingertips about to slide to the answer button, when the ringtone abruptly stopped.

"What the hell? Accidental touch?" Chen Youen leaned closer to the screen.

Shen Feiwan frowned even more deeply. "I don't know."

"How about... we call back and ask?"

Just as Shen Feiwan hesitated, her phone suddenly vibrated.

A new message notification popped up.

"Quick, see what he posted!"

Shen Fei opened the message late at night; it was a photo.

The moment the loading was complete, her pupils suddenly contracted—the photo showed Bo Junxing's back.

"Huh? Isn't that Bo Junxing?" Chen Youen exclaimed. "It looks like a snapshot taken casually in the banquet hall... Wait!" She looked up abruptly. "So Lin Xiaoyan is in the same place as Bo Junxing right now?! At this very moment?"
