Shen Zhiwei walked out of the restaurant to find it drizzling outside.

Clutching her handbag, Shen Zhiwei couldn't help but fidget. During the past five years, she had thought about the possibility of running into Bo Yan again, but had never expected him to show up so out of the blue. Clearly, he had found out where she was working.

"What about Duoduo?

"Has he found out about her, too?"

She shook her head almost immediately, deeming it a coincidence only. If he knew, he wouldn't have stayed so calm. With that thought, she left the restaurant to hail a taxi from across the street, but ran into Zhao Qin and Han Ying again.

The couple had just come out of a restaurant. Han Ying wore a white fishtail dress and Zhao Qin was in a black suit. Together, they looked quite the perfect pair.

"You..." Han Ying was surprised to see Shen Zhiwei here, but she soon asked angrily, "Shen Zhiwei, what are you doing here? Did you know that we were having dinner here and followed us?"

It had Zhao Qi

    The five years hadn't changed Shen Zhiwei's defiant nature.Taking a deep breath, she smiled and got into the car.It wasn't just a show for Han Ying, but Shen Zhiwei was also trying to find out how much Bo Yan knew about her current life.Han Ying and Zhao Qin were still in a trance-like state, even after the car door closed and the vehicle drove out of sight. They felt like it was all a dream and couldn't figure out where Shen Zhiwei had known someone like that.As the car steadily drove on, the inside felt cramped.Shen Zhiwei stiffened a little.Bo Yan didn't want Shen Zhiwei to run away from him again, so he kept his distance. "How have you been these past five years?""President Bo, please cut to the chase. Why on earth did you suddenly show up here?"Shen Zhiwei tried her best to keep her breathing steady, so that she wouldn't look scared."I told you already. I'm driving you home."Shen Zhiwei smirked. "Since when does President Bo know my personal information so well

    Duoduo had a little problem recently.That handsome uncle was turning up everywhere! He was there on her way to school and showed up when she was having classes. Sometimes, he even waited for her outside her kindergarten before her mom had arrived. What was more, he wouldn't stop bribing her!When no one was looking, he would give her snacks, toys, and even pocket money!At first, Duoduo thought that the handsome uncle was a bad man, so she tugged at the lower hem of her teacher's clothes.Her teacher stole a few glances out of their window and answered her with flushed cheeks. "That's President Bo, the man who has donated our primary school's teaching building. Duoduo, you should be more careful with your choice of words. If President Bo is upset, we won't be able to have pretty teaching buildings anymore."Duoduo heaved a sigh of relief.That afternoon, after bidding her teacher farewell, Duoduo went to wait for her mom to pick her up at the front entrance, but the first person

    "Director Shen, is something bothering you? You've been absent-minded the whole day," one of Shen Zhiwei's subordinates asked suspiciously when he handed Shen Zhiwei a file. The question immediately brought Shen Zhiwei out of her reverie."It's nothing. Some personal issues, that's all." Shen Zhiwei quickly looked through the file and signed it after making sure that everything was correct. She then handed it back to her subordinate, but still couldn't get the picture of what happened the previous afternoon when she picked Duoduo up out of her head."That man that claimed to be Duoduo's dad, could it be Bo Yan?"Just then, Shen Zhiwei's cell phone on the desk started ringing."Hello, Miss Zhang."Duoduo's teacher from the kindergarten asked anxiously, "M- Ms. Shen, is Duoduo there with you?"Shen Zhiwei paled immediately. "Shouldn't Duoduo be with you at the school?""Well... Duoduo was here this morning, but she just disappeared during lunch..."Hearing Miss Zhang's stammering

    Bo Yan turned his head at the impact. When he licked his teeth, he could taste blood."Handsome Uncle!" Duoduo was frightened by the slap.She had never seen Shen Zhiwei hit someone before!Picking Duoduo up by her waist, Shen Zhiwei said angrily, "Why did you talk to a stranger? Have you forgotten what I told you? If some human trafficker took you away, I would never be able to save you!""Well... Handsome Uncle is a good man. Mom, how could you hit him?" Shen Zhiwei was holding Duoduo so tight that the girl was having trouble breathing, and she had to ask her mother between broken sobs."Are you talking back now?!""I...""Madam." Just then, a team of aggressive bodyguards in black suits filed into the room, blocking the doorway. Among them was Bo Yan's assistant, who cleared his throat awkwardly. "The lousy idea of inviting the little lady to this mansion was from me, and President Bo had nothing to do with it.""Out of my way!""Madam, would you please give President Bo a

    Shen Zhiwei fell to the ground with Duoduo and recovered from her initial shock only to find Bo Yan lying there in a pool of blood. He smiled a little when he saw that she was safe, and that smile pained her; her eyes instantly turned bloodshot red...She stood there in a trance-like state and didn't move for a long while.The assistant rushed out of the building at that moment. Seeing what had happened, he instructed the bodyguards, "Call an ambulance! Now! That woman is Zhou Jin! Damn it! She's been following us, but I didn't notice her..."The bodyguards soon had Zhou Jin under control, but she still wouldn't give in and bellowed, "Shen Zhiwei, you bitch! Rou is waiting for you in hell! You're never going to be happy! Bo Yan is going to die, and no one around you is going to end well... hm..."A bodyguard hit the back of her neck with the side of his palm, striking her unconscious.As if she had just woken up from a dream, Shen Zhiwei picked Duoduo up and slowly walked up to Bo

    "I'm not insane. I'm just trying to pay my debt!" Bo Yan's lips were almost bloodless and his eyes were rolling backward as if he was going to pass out at any moment. "Are you happy with my payment method?"Shen Zhiwei was dumbfounded. The pool of blood grew bigger, and the red color stung her eyes."Bo Yan! Stop it!""Mom, I don't want Handsome Uncle to die. I want my dad..." Picking up Bo Yan's left hand with both of her hands, she stuck it to her tender cheek and wailed in a tiny voice."Tears welled up the assistant's eyes before he knew it, and he turned to Shen Zhiwei with a pleading look on his face. "President Bo, if you need to say something, please wait until you're out of the hospital. Your pulse is so weak now! Madam, I'm begging you. Please say yes to President Bo's request, so that he can go to the hospital with his mind settled. Life has been tough for him during the past five years, and he has been trying to dumb himself with his work. He has some serious stomach pr

    Shen Zhiwei felt as if she was feeling the same pain as Bo Yan did. Stubbornly wiping away her tears, she pulled Duoduo to her side."Bo Yan, go get your surgery. Come out alive and we'll be your wife and daughter. If you're dead, I promise you that we won't show up at your funeral."With much difficulty, Bo Yan forced a smile. He knew perfectly well that Shen Zhiwei only said those things to make sure that he would live.After watching him getting pushed into the operating room, Shen Zhiwei picked Duoduo up and headed out of the hospital."Mom, I don't want to go. I want to wait for Dad to come out."Shen Zhiwei only cried in silence, unable to utter a word.Duoduo started struggling. "I want to wait for Dad."Shen Zhiwei ignored her."Mom, put me down. I want to go find Dad.""Mom needs to take care of something. You can only stay with your dad forever after that's settled."Duoduo stopped talking and only rested her head on Shen Zhiwei's shoulder.Bo Yan slept restlessly,

    "At Lu Mingyu's villa."Bo Yan leapt to his feet, his face livid. "Are you sure?"The assistant nodded. "I've set up infrared facial recognition equipment in all major shopping malls and supermarkets, and Mrs. Bo has been spotted at a mall today. I drove out there immediately, just in time to see her getting into a Mercedes, so I followed the car. The driver was Lu Mingyu, and the two of them went into a villa together."Lu Mingyu used to be a big shot in Ming City, but for some unknown reason, he arrived in town a year ago. Before anyone knew it, he had dominated the city's economy to the point that he was almost as influential as Bo Yan.However, Shen Zhiwei didn't have any prior connection with the man, so why was she in his villa? Was it of her own will, or..."Let's go. I'd like to meet this Lu Mingyu."The assistant quickened his pace to follow Bo Yan. "President Bo, are we rushing things a little, visiting him like this?" he asked.Bo Yan walked so quickly, it was as if h

    At this time, Qi Mubai, who was standing at the door, also came in slowly. He looked at Bo Yan and said, "Young Master Bo, I'm sorry. I once doubted your love for her and thought you couldn't give her happiness. It's not until now that I know that her happiness can only be you!"Everyone in the ward looked at him. Qi Mubai laughed at himself and continued, "For so many years, I can't convince myself and feel that I still have a chance to win a little heart. Therefore, when Shanshan is headstrong, my selfishness has also made me waver. I did something I shouldn't have done with her. Sorry, I brought unnecessary harm to you. I apologize sincerely!Seeing your love for each other, I can leave or start my new life at ease!"After Qi Mubai finished speaking, he reached out hands to Shen Zhiwei and made a posture of hugging. Shen Zhiwei looked at Qi Mubai and then at Bo Yan. Bo Yan nodded to her and Weiwei hugged Qi Mubai with tears in her eyes."Thank you, Senior. How could I, Shen Zhiw

    Hu Jingshan's face turned red and pale. She was trembling with anger, but she couldn't say a word to refute Wang Dongjun.Shen Zhiwei frowned and looked at Wang Dongjun. She asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Dongjun? Is she not injured at all?"Wang Dongjun glanced at Hu Jingshan and deliberately said with his eyes fixed, "Miss Hu, give me a little explanation!"Hu Jingshan opened her mouth and faltered, but in the end, she turned into shouting, "Bastard, what are you doing? You don't know anything! Mind your own business, get lost!""I don't know. I saw you and Qi Mubai meeting in the cafe. You acted freely and didn't seem to be hurt at all!"Hearing this, Shen Zhiwei looked at Hu Jingshan in shock and shouted, "Hu Jingshan, tell me clearly. You didn't mean to frame me, and you pretended to be injured, did you? But how did you get the diagnosis from the hospital?"Shen Zhiwei suddenly had another question. "It's impossible for Hu Jingshan to buy a doctor soon!"Hu Jingshan

    Qi Mubai sighed and said, "Our Senior Brother and Sister are so miserable, but our beloved ones don't love themselves at all. It's really sad!""Senior, we need to work hard for our own happiness. We need to strive for some happiness. I hope you can also strive for your happiness. Don't let her become someone else's happiness!"Qi Mubai looked at Hu Jingshan and said after a long time, "I am different from you. You can do whatever you want, but I can't. I love her and don't want to hurt her. If she is really happy, I am willing to watch her be happy. And you only want to be happy. In fact, sometimes it is not happiness to get Shanshan, but to let her go!"Qi Mubai didn't know if he was persuading Hu Jingshan or himself. Anyway, what he said was more and more reasonable.Qi Mubai opened the door and turned back to ask Hu Jingshan, "If you don't leave, aren't you afraid that Shen Zhiwei will know about our relationship?""It's you who's afraid, I'm not afraid!" Hu Jingshan said as s

    Shen Zhiwei looked at Hu Jingshan, who was in the wheelchair. She tried to hold back the urge to speak several times, but she had to calm down and not provoke this crazy woman. Maybe she would do some other crazy things. Moreover, the situation of Bo Yan had not come to an end, so she had no mood to argue with her.Qi Mubai looked at Shen Zhiwei and said softly, "Don't be afraid. You still have me. It's okay!" As he said this, he reached out and tried to hold Shen Zhiwei, but Shen Zhiwei deftly leaned to one side and avoided him. Qi Mubai's hand stopped in the air awkwardly, and he could only pull back the corner of his mouth with a smile.Shen Zhiwei nodded and said to Qi Mubai, "Thank you, Senior Lu. Then I'll go out to watch Bo Yan." After that, she went straight out, ignoring Qi Mubai, whose face gradually turned ugly, and Hu Jingshan, whose face was full of resentment.Shen Zhiwei walked out of the office. Qi Mubai immediately closed the door before she could go far. He turned

    His words were full of sarcasm. "Miss Hu, Miss Shen is my boss's wife. It's my duty to protect her. You tell me, should I protect her? As for what you said, she is better than you. You know yourself well. Everyone in the world knows that Miss Shen is beautiful and kind. Unlike some women, her face looks good, but her viper heart is disgusting. Am I right?"Wang Wei's words provoked Hu Jingshan. She bit her wheelchair and walked toward Wang Wei. Wang Wei shouted, "Ugly woman, don't think that you'll have to spend the rest of your life taking advantage of other people's mistakes. President Bo owes your family a lot. He should have returned it. If you continue to do this, you'll be bullying others!"Shen Zhiwei had never known that there were other possibilities between them. Hearing Wang Wei's words, Shen Zhiwei stared at Hu Jingshan suspiciously. However, Hu Jingshan and Wang Wei's eyes were red with anxiety, and they had no time to care about Shen Zhiwei's reaction."Pay it back? It

    He just couldn't accept it! How could he accept it!The hospital had already prepared for Bo Yan. Qi Mubai had been escorting the party into the emergency room. Shen Zhiwei stumbled behind him, not knowing what to say.After the door closed, Shen Zhiwei's spirits were in turmoil. She had thought that she would be able to solve the problem between them without any worries. She had told herself that she would not feel pain once she felt pain. But why was she so nervous and heartbroken when she saw him faint from the injury?It turned out that he had been rooted in her blood and could not be pulled out so easily. Shen Zhiwei sat on the ground in low spirits, and the cold floor reminded her that the man was still in the rescue.Time passed by, and the door had been closed. Shen Zhiwei had been in a panic, as if she had a bad feeling. She called Wang Wei and said, "Assistant Wang, something happened to Yan!" After that, her tears blurred her eyes.Wang Wei was so frightened that he hun

    Through Shen Zhiwei, Bo Yan saw Qi Mubai behind her. Qi Mubai raised his hand to support his glasses on the bridge of his nose. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. However, his mocking smile was deeply engraved in the bottom of Bo Yan, which made his heart hurt.He felt cold all over and clenched his knuckles. If possible, what he wanted to do most now was to go up and break this hypocritical bastard.Shen Zhiwei finally looked away from Duoduo and saw Bo Yan at the door. She was stunned, and then she glared at him with resentment and was about to close the door.Bo Yan stretched out his hand and held the door. He looked at Shen Zhiwei and said, "Come out. Let's talk for a while. It won't take you too long!"Her words were very sad, as if she had disturbed other people's happiness, but in fact, someone had disturbed his happiness with her!Shen Zhiwei said coldly, "We don't have much to say. Please go back, Young Master Bo!""You're not e

    Lu Mingyu frowned slightly and said incredulously, "You promised everything?"Bo Yan looked into the distance absent-mindedly, nodded, and said slowly, "Yes, I agree!""You... What do you want me to say about you?" After that, Lu Mingyu shouted at Bo Yan, "Go, if you don't go, I'm afraid someone will take the lead."Bo Yan was stunned, as if he understood what Lu Mingyu meant. Hurriedly, he held Duoduo and said to Lili, "Get in the car."The car sped to the detention center, but Bo Yan's heart beat faster. It was finally coming out. This matter had come to an end. It would be better to take it step by step in the future!On the way, Lu Mingyu was very quiet and watched Bo Yan from time to time. He knew Hu Jingshan's condition. If Bo Yan really agreed, it meant that after Shen Zhiwei came out, she could not live with Bo Yan. If that was the case, wouldn't it be good for Qi Mubai to take advantage of him?Lu Mingyu sighed and said, "Bo Yan, don't you think it's too coincidental tod

    "Dad, I'm sorry. We didn't call you in advance, so you're worried." Duoduo held his father's face with both hands and said guiltily.Seeing that Lili and Duoduo were safe, Lu Mingyu was relieved. But he still asked, "Lili, where did you take Duoduo today? We've searched the surroundings. How come you're nowhere to be found?"Lili looked at Bo Yan and Lu Mingyu with embarrassment and said, "Are we going to Brother Qi's place?""Qi Mubai?""Qi Mubai?"Both Bo Yan and Lu Mingyu asked at the same time, staring at Lili in surprise. Seeing their reactions, Lili couldn't help but nod and said naturally, "Yes, Dr. Qi, Qi Mubai. He has a good relationship with Weiwei. The place where we live is his house."Listening to Lili's words, Bo Yan gnashed his teeth in hatred. "Why did he suddenly let you go there?""I don't know either. He called and said he wanted to see Duoduo, and then he asked us to wait for him at the entrance of an alley. He came to pick us up."Lu Mingyu frowned tightly
