It wasn't Shen Wanci who opened the door, but Nie Yucheng. He was holding a bag and about to leave when he saw Bao Jingzhou standing at the door, raising his hand to knock. He was taken aback: "Why are you here again?"

A real air of a leading man.

Bo Jingzhou's already unattractive face grew even darker, his voice laced with a questioning edge: "Where's Wanwan?"

He spoke as he walked past Nie Yu City towards the inside, the other party didn't stop him, took something and went out, when leaving, he even closed the door.

The apartment was small, Bo Jingzhou finished circling it in just a few seconds. Shen Wanci wasn't there, which eased the tension in his chest considerably. It must have been Nie YuCheng, that supercilious white lotus, who deliberately designed this to create a misunderstanding between him and Shen Wanci, so he could take advantage of the situation.

When I returned to the door, I found that Nie Yu Cheng had already left. Not only had he gone, but he had also closed the door.

Bao Jingzhou: "..."

He called Shen Wanci, but only heard the busy tone. He remembered that he had been blocked by her. Since they hadn't contacted each other much by phone, he had completely forgotten about it.

He was still on the blacklist, but Nie Yu Cheng had her family's password and could enter their home at will. This obvious difference in treatment made Bo Jing Zhou furious; even the fact that he had finally started eating meat didn't cheer him up.

He chased all the way to the parking lot, catching up to Nie Yucheng just as the man put something in the back seat and was about to close the car door. He turned his head to see Bo Jingzhou running up to him.

Bo Jingzhou's gaze passed over him and, following the wide opening of the bag, he immediately saw the women's clothing inside.

He frowned: "Where are you taking Wanwan's clothes?"

"Business trip? Before the new project officially starts, can't you go for an investigation for ten days or half a month?"

Nie Yucheng closed the car door and turned to pull on the driver's side handle, just as he was about to give it a shove, Bo Jingzhou stopped his hand. "She's still..."

He stopped talking mid-sentence.

Nie Yu Cheng raised an eyebrow: "What are you bringing with you? A pillow? Wasn't that given to you that day? Hasn't the house, car, dowry, and wedding gifts already been prepared? Do you want me, this stepfather, to put in some effort?"

Every wound was painfully exposed, every strike hit home. Thin Jingzhou didn't answer him, gritting his teeth and snarling, "Where is Wanwan?"

She went to the airport first, and I'll stop by on my way over to help her get some things she needs for her business trip.

Nie Yucheng's words, Bo Jingzhou didn't believe a single one. With Wan Ci's personality, even if she was in a hurry, she wouldn't let an ordinary friend's man help her pack her luggage: "Lend me your phone to make a call, mine is dead."

"Calling Wanci?" Nie Yucheng took out his phone, unlocked it and opened the call interface: "Let me make the call for you. Put it on speakerphone. My relationship with President Lu is currently adversarial, so it's best not to lend personal things like phones easily."

A few seconds later, a series of beeps filled the receiver, accompanied by the ringing of Bo Jingzhou's phone.

Nie Yucheng turned his phone screen towards him, displaying the three characters "Lu Yanchi," and raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Lu, your phone is ringing."

"...."

Holy crap.

This green tea is not playing by the rules.

Nie Yucheng hung up the phone in front of Bo Jingzhou, the ringing stopped, and he pulled open the car door and got in.

After the car had slid a few meters, Nie Yu Cheng rolled down his window, "My uncle had a high blood pressure attack and is now at the city hospital. I didn't tell my aunt about this, so Wanci is handling the paperwork at the hospital."

During a meal, Bo Rongxuan suddenly felt dizzy. Several people rushed him to the hospital. Because they arrived in time, there was no major problem. He could be discharged after observation overnight.

At that time, the scene was too chaotic. It's unclear who knocked over the soup on the table and wet Wanci's clothes. Now that the weather is cold, her damp clothes stick uncomfortably to her body. And since someone at the hospital needs a family member to sign papers at any moment, she can't leave. That's why he came to help her get it.

After Nie Yucheng finished speaking, he stepped on the gas and drove away.

Upon hearing that Bo Rongxuan was sick and hospitalized, Bo Jingzhou's heart clenched. He turned around and walked towards where his car was parked.

Arrived at the city hospital.

He didn't go into the underground parking garage, but instead parked his car in a street-side spot. He reached for a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, and held it between his lips.

Tonight, the sky is overcast. The deep night sky is devoid of stars and moon. Bao Jingzhou tightly grips his cell phone, his expression obscured by the swirling smoke, making it impossible to discern.

……

In the hospital ward.

NIE Yucheng handed the clothes he brought to Shen Wanci, "I'll be right here. Go change."

Shen Wanci only then remembered being splashed with soup at the restaurant. She had been so busy running around just now, and with the air conditioning on in the hospital, she had completely forgotten about it.

She lowered her head to look at the wet spot: "It's already dry, no need to change."

Even if you do it, there's still oil left. Take it all, and exchange it. Uncle, I'll keep an eye on things here.

As soon as Bo Jingzhou reached the doorway, he heard the conversation between the two. It was very plain and there wasn't anything ambiguous about it, but there was a distinct intimacy in their tone, just like that of a couple who had been together for many years.

Thinking that Nie Yu Cheng could enter and leave her house so casually, a feeling of restlessness arose in his heart, mixed with jealousy and envy.

He didn't go in directly, afraid of upsetting Bo Rongxuan.

After Shen Wanci thanked Nie Yucheng, she took the clothes to the restroom to change. As she walked to the door, she noticed Bo Jingzhou's presence and turned her head to look at him.

Eye contact.

Shen Wanci was stunned, she hadn't expected Bo Jingzhou to come so quickly.

Bo Rongxuan's illness came on suddenly and wasn't serious. After some basic checks, he was sent to the ward, all within three hours.

However, everyone here today is closely related to him, so it's normal that he received the message so quickly.

She quickly understood why Bo Jingzhou hadn't come in. Considering his current situation, it wasn't suitable for him to stand outside for too long. She didn't even bother changing her clothes and turned to prepare to talk to Bo Rongxuan. Just as she turned around, she heard Nie Yucheng already asking: "Uncle, when I went to help Wanci get her clothes, I saw Jingzhou."

Bao Rongxuan's dizziness was caused by recent high-intensity work and staying up late. It wasn't a big problem, just a little tired: "How is he? Is he okay?"

He's outside right now, don't get excited. I'll have him come in.

"Okay."

After listening to the whole thing, Bo Jingzhou:

He now has to rely on Nie Yu Cheng to contact his wife. Seeing that he still needs to remind his own father, it's really...

Bo Jingzhou strode in, and as he passed Shen Wanci's side, he murmured, "Take me off the blacklist."

Shen Wanci: “??”

Only when she got to the bedside did she remember that she had blocked Bo Jingzhou's number. He was now Lu Yanchi, so they hardly ever contacted each other by phone. If it weren't for Bo Jingzhou mentioning it today, she would have completely forgotten about it.
