"Have you ever been out of the country?"

She actually didn't know about that. Before marriage, she wasn't familiar with Joe, and even if they didn't see each other for a year or so,

You wouldn't think it was anything strange either.

The man shoved the chopsticks into her hand, coldly responding with, "Hm."

Although on the surface nothing seemed out of place, Shen Wanci inexplicably heard a hint of anger in that one word. She felt a little guilty and lowered her head, stuffing a small steamed bun into her mouth.

I didn't have much hope at first, after all, it was a mass-produced frozen product. But the moment I took a bite, juice burst out, the taste was fresh and fragrant, completely different from the ones I usually eat.

"The Four Seasons Hotel sent it over yesterday."

Shen Wanci: “...”

No wonder.

The capitalist's luxury begins with a day's breakfast.

She ate two of them before she whispered, "Back then we didn't know each other well. It was normal not to know you'd been abroad. You don't even know about my things, do you?"

The more she spoke, the more convinced she became, her confidence soaring. Shen Wanci lifted her head and met Bo Jingzhou's gaze directly, like a little dog waiting to be praised.

If it had a tail, it would probably be wagging it with delight right now.

The man smiled.

At this moment, it felt like they were back to their wedding day. When she looked at him, her eyes were filled with him.

There were no later taunts, barbs, coldness, or rejections.... all the negative emotions.

Bo Jingzhou couldn't help but soften his heart, but it was also a bit difficult. His heart felt like it was soaked in the lake, both stuffy and damp.

He reached out and touched Shen Wanci's head, recounting a few things that happened to her in college. They weren't widely known, but rather ordinary occurrences she wouldn't necessarily remember.

Shen Wanci's eyes widened in surprise.

This......

Who would know so much about an acquaintance's affairs?

She slowed down as she ate her breakfast. Even the steamed buns, which had been fragrant and juicy before, tasted bland now. "Are you a psychopath? You actually sent someone to investigate me?"

The smile on Bao Jingzhou's face froze, replaced by a smirk of contempt.

Anger surged out of him, and he said coldly, "Shen Wanci, the fact that you've lived this long without being killed is truly a blessing from heaven."

When most people hear this, they wouldn't think the other person is secretly in love with them, right? But somehow, when it comes to her, it becomes stalking and creepy?

Shen Wanci put down her chopsticks, "You eat slowly, I'll go chat with Teacher Zhao."

After saying that, without waiting for Bo Jingzhou's response, he got up and walked towards the living room. His steps were quick, his back hurried, he could be said to have fled in a panic.

Bao Jingzhou's face immediately turned even uglier. He gritted his teeth and said nothing.

She wasn't straight, nor was she oblivious. She was simply pretending not to understand as a way of rejecting him.

"Hmph," the man sneered, setting down his chopsticks. What was this all about? Waking up to drama like this had ruined his appetite. Good riddance.

Bo Jingzhou lowered his head to look at Shen Wanci's retreating figure. Compared to her previous straightforward and even opportunistic rejections, this was already quite subtle.

In the living room.

Zhao Hongwei was still standing there. He didn't want to sit, but he dared not.

It is said that the design concepts behind those luxury goods are a bit perverse, only considering appearance and not practicality or durability. They are disposable and cannot be cleaned once soiled.

Woven bags and transparent slippers are already expensive enough, this sofa looks so good, it must be even more expensive.

What if he sits and gets it dirty, wouldn't he have to pay for it?

Shen Wanci didn't have Zhao Hongwei's concerns. She sat down on the sofa, "Teacher Zhao, have a seat."

Zhao Hongwei stood still and didn't move. She didn't force him either, "How are you considering it?"

Zhao Hongwei's throat tightened: "I don't know."

Shen Wanci frowned, "So you mean, you're deliberately trying to take the blame for the other person? Based on your actions yesterday, I could accuse you of violating citizens' communication privacy and defamation. Once found guilty, it will be difficult for your child to pass political reviews in the future."

Shen Wanci's strike landed squarely on his seven-inch point.

His child has been preparing for the civil service exam for two years and will be taking it this year.

"I don't know who reported you. She sent me a message using a virtual number," Zhao Hongwei said as he pointed out the message to Shen Wanci, "Look, I didn't lie to you. The other party didn't reveal their identity."

The only information is a single sentence: "Shen Wanci's repaired hairpin has a problem."

She looked at the content above, couldn't hold back her temper, and sneered sarcastically: "You're really both stupid and evil."

Based on just such a dubious text message, he pried open her drawer and directly displayed the hairpin to everyone.

If she can't prove her innocence, under the circumstances of lost surveillance and so many watchful eyes, even if the curator wants to protect her, he has to follow the rules and have her suspended for a period of time.

If things only went this far, it would be known only within our circle. It would be easy enough to get to the bottom of things then.

What if the other party still contacted the media?

Online users lack the patience to wait for results and only believe what they saw at the time. Because the program made her popular, she became a hot topic. However, she would immediately be attacked by millions of keyboard warriors, her reputation ruined.

By the time the truth came out, the heat had died down and no one was paying attention anymore. Her ruined reputation couldn't be restored. Zhao Hongwei mumbled, unable to refute: "You asked for what I know, and you promised me, wouldn't sue me."

Shen Wanci smiled: "I never said I was going to let bygones be bygones. I was just reminding you what crime you committed."

She frowned: “I reported this yesterday to the police, you wait for their notification. Whatever consequences come your way are what you deserve. When you exposed that matter publicly, you didn't leave me any room.”

Would he know what punishment she would face if she didn't explain clearly?

He knew.

He is bad.

Even if one is righteous and hates evil, it's best to ask her first and investigate the truth of the matter before making it public.

Shen Wanci didn't have such a broad mind to forgive someone who wanted to harm her.

Zhao Hongwei only realized panic now, but his way of expressing panic was anger. Once a person becomes angry, they lose their rationality.

"Shen Wanci, do you dare to play me?"

Children were his Achilles' heel. In his excitement, he forgot that this was the Bo family's home, forgot that there was still a Bo Jingzhou inside, and outside, there was a group of burly bodyguards waiting.

His outstretched hand hadn't even touched Shen Wanci when he was sent flying away.

Bao Jingzhou frowned, his face cold as he addressed Shen Wanci: "Do you have to go and provoke the dog?"

“...”

Shen Wanci glanced at Zhao Hongwei who was curled up on the ground, whimpering in pain. She gave Bo Jingzhou a thumbs-up and said, "If you can speak, say more."

Since she couldn't get anything out of Zhao Hongwei, Shen Wanci decided not to stay any longer. She picked up her bag and told Bo Jingzhou, "I made an appointment with Yuezhi..."

Mid-conversation, the phone rang.
