Shen Feiwan subconsciously took a step back, somewhat surprised. "Why are you back? Have you already eaten out?"

Bo Junxing's gaze swept around the restaurant before returning to Shen Feiwan's face. He replied, "I haven't eaten yet."

“…………” Shen Feiwan rolled her eyes at him, “Then why did you text me saying you weren’t coming back for dinner?”

"There has been a last-minute change."

"Oh."

Shen Feiwan gave a curt reply and walked past Bo Junxing.

Bo Junxing turned around immediately after her, frowning as he watched her retreating figure.

She still seemed to ignore him, and he wondered what he had done to offend her.

quickened his pace and caught up with him.

Immediately, Shen Feiwan found that her wrist had been grabbed.

I knew it was Bo Junxing without even turning around.

She stopped, somewhat annoyed. "What are you doing?"

Xu Ruoqing was still in the restaurant, and Bo Junxing didn't want to discuss it with her there. "Let's talk in the room," he said.

Shen Feiwan turned around and glared at him, "What if I say no?"

"..." Bo Junxing's lips moved slightly, and after a two-second silence, he said, "What did you say?"

I said no.

"last sentence."

"what are you doing?"

"I'll carry you back to your room."

Bending down, Bo Junxing easily lifted Shen Feiwan up in his arms, one hand under her armpit and the other under her knee.

"Shh, don't shout, or everyone will come out to see what's going on."

"Heh," Shen Feiwan said speechlessly, "Am I the one who's going to be embarrassed?"

Bo Junxing carried Shen Feiwan as he strode forward, glancing down at her as he said, "Then why don't you give it a try?"

"What's the point of trying? You can hug me, why should I yell? It's not like I'm the one who's tired. If you're so capable, then don't take the elevator, take the stairs!"

Bo Junxing sneered, "You really know how to pity your husband."

He walked straight to the elevator, carried Shen Feiwan back to their room.

Just as he was about to put Shen Feiwan on the sofa, she protested, "I need to use the restroom, carry me to the bathroom."

Shen Feiwan was deliberately making things difficult for Bo Junxing. Now that he was tired and wanted to put her down, he was sorry, but she wouldn't allow it.

Hearing her say that, Bo Junxing paused for a moment, but he quickly picked Shen Feiwan up again and headed to the bathroom as she requested.

But just as he was about to carry Shen Feiwan inside, she changed her mind. "I suddenly don't want to go to the bathroom anymore. I want to go to the dressing room and change into some loungewear."

Bo Junxing still didn't show any impatience, and turned to go to the dressing room again.

He was so accommodating that Shen Feiwan felt bored again. "Forget it, I'll change after I shower. Let's go back to the sofa."

"Okay." This time, Bo Junxing finally opened his mouth.

As he stood in front of the sofa, he suddenly said to Shen Feiwan, "Things shouldn't happen more than three times. Don't play tricks on me anymore."

As he spoke, he gently placed Shen Feiwan on the sofa.

Shen Feiwan laughed, "So you knew I was teasing you. Sit down, what are you standing for? You're so tall, I don't like people looking down on me."

Bo Junxing remained motionless, just staring at Shen Feiwan without saying a word.

Only after he actually put the woman in front of him down did Bo Junxing realize what he had done.

It's crazy.

Regardless of her attitude or behavior towards me, this wasn't a relationship based on feelings.

This woman is inherently cunning and fickle.

Why go through all that trouble, even carrying her up here!

That's absolutely insane!

He felt a tightness in his chest, so he haphazardly unbuttoned his tie and the top two buttons of his shirt and sat down on the single sofa diagonally opposite Shen Feiwan.

"Say something." Shen Feiwan rested her chin on her hand on the sofa armrest, looking at Bo Junxing. "Did you go through all that trouble to bring me up here just to stare at me like that?"

"…………" Bo Junxing really wanted to shut her merciless mouth with his tongue.

Since things have already come to this point, Bo Junxing frowned and asked, "Have you been avoiding me these past few days?"

For once, Shen Feiwan's gaze flickered. "Is it that obvious?"

"What do you say?"

"What? What are you asking me? You forgot, we don't talk about feelings between us."

"And what about you? What did you mean by making me carry you around the house just now? Did you enjoy it?"

"Yeah, can't you?"

Bo Junxing choked for a moment, thinking she would argue, but to his surprise, she agreed immediately.

"Then I need your respect too. I'm not someone you can sleep with whenever you want and then give me the cold shoulder whenever you don't. Why are you avoiding me?"

“Hmm…” “Speak properly. I called you up here to have a conversation. Don’t try to fool me with sweet talk.”

"You guessed it!"

"So, is it possible for you and I to communicate properly anymore?"

“Yes!” Shen Feiwan sat up straight and said seriously, “You’re sincere and I’m sincere too. Actually, the reason is very simple. We went too far that day, until three or four in the morning, which made me sleep all morning. I felt that I was too indulgent and neglected important matters. So I decided to restrain myself.”

"…………" He had thought of other things, but Bo Junxing never expected it to be for this reason.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and slowly exhaled. "I don't do it every night."

“Um…” Shen Feiwan blinked. “Maybe it’s what I want? You don’t need to restrain yourself from needing it.”

"You?" "What's wrong with me? Some people just have stronger desires, like me. Is that illegal?"

"That was not what I meant."

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Bo Junxing got up and opened half a window. He came back and asked Shen Feiwan, "What happened at home just now? It seems like everyone left on bad terms before dinner was even served?"

Shen Feiwan nodded, "That's right. Because your nephew still insists on marrying my stepsister, your older brother and sister-in-law, especially your sister-in-law, are furious. They took the opportunity to berate me, claiming that I am in cahoots with my stepsister."

"Why are you still getting married? Bo Fang promised to help your stepsister?"

"I don't know about that. Do you think your sister-in-law might pull out a check for 300 million and throw it in Shen Zhizhi's face to make her leave Bo Fang?"

"impossible."

"Are you so sure?"

"Yes, because she doesn't have that much money."

"What about your elder brother?"

“He doesn’t have that much cash, and even if he did, he wouldn’t easily take it out.”

"Hmm~ then I'm relieved."

"How's your important business going?"

"If your Bo family doesn't cause trouble, then most likely everything will go smoothly."

Bo Junxing nodded, then asked, "Do you need me to help you stop Bo Fang and Shen Zhizhi from getting married?"

"Need not."

"Don't you dislike her? If she marries into the family, you'll be seeing her all the time."

Shen Feiwan chuckled, "No way."

Once things are done, she'll pack her bags and leave. She'll get a divorce and completely break away from the Bo family, not caring about Shen Zhizhi or Xu Zhizhi anymore.
