Over the past two weeks, Ji Siyuan has been very well-behaved. He even found a job and stopped pressuring Bo Jingzhou to take medicine. He hasn't been around the company as often as he used to.

However, before Bo Jingzhou could let out a sigh of relief, a new project by the Bo family ran into trouble.

That night, he received a call from Gu Chenye: "Things have been taken care of. We found out early and the economic losses weren't too severe."

"So, your tone sounds kind of lifeless."

To say it's lifeless is an understatement, it's downright gnashing of teeth.

“Because of dealing with your messes, I couldn't even get through the front door tonight,” Yan Ji’s sleep was restless. Any slight noise could easily wake him up, and once awake, he found it hard to fall back asleep. So, he didn’t dare knock. He could only sit in the garden blowing cold November wind.

The man grew increasingly cold, but the anger in his heart burned hotter. When he called Bo Jingzhou, it reached its peak: "How much longer are you going to drag this out? If you're short of breath, just go to the hospital and get some medicine."

Bo Jingzhou put his phone on speaker and tossed it aside. He cupped the flame in his hand, lit a cigarette with a lazy flick of his wrist, and leaned against the balcony railing, gazing down at the street below.

It's the middle of the night now. Except for streetlights, most neon signs have gone out. Tree shadows and building shadows blend together, forming countless patches of light and dark on the ground.

A wisp of turquoise smoke drifted from his lips, blurring the man's deep features. After Gu Chenye finished speaking, he calmly said, "Sorry, bear with me for a moment longer, it'll be over soon."

Gu Chenye sneered, "Don't try to fool me with your honeyed words you use on women. Three months, three months. If you can't finish it in that time, I'm walking away."

Of course, he just said that out of anger. He wouldn't really quit.

Bao Jingzhou smiled softly: "Where are you now? In your garden?"

Gu Chenye pressed his eyebrows, his fingers were icy cold, but his face was also cold, he couldn't tell for a moment which was colder: "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear the wind howling 'woo woo woo'?"

I called Yan Ji.

"Don't hit her," Gu Chenye hurriedly stopped him, "She has morning grumpiness."

Bo Jingzhou was delighted, rarely seeing him lose face. There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone. When he mentioned Gu Chenye, everyone in the circle would say that he was wise and insightful, a true gentleman. But who would have thought that the famed Master Gu, who commanded respect and influence outside, had curfews and couldn't even enter his own home if he was late? Just imagine the shock on everyone's faces! "Besides," he said nonchalantly, "it's not me getting scolded, so I don't care if she has morning grouchiness."

Gu Chenye: "She was woken up, she won't be able to sleep tonight. I'll go sleep in the backyard later."

The Gu family's villa was quite large. Besides the main villa, there were also quarters for servants and security guards at the back. After marrying Yan Ji, another courtyard was built. Yan Ji loved to grow flowers and would occasionally sleep there, but now it has become Gu Chenye's ??.

Bo Jingzhou sneered, "You're pathetic."

"You don't have to..."

Comfort me.

But it serves him right.

Gu Chenye's words got stuck in his throat, gritting his teeth and saying: "You, a former husband, have what qualifications to laugh at me? Don't you think you and Shen Wanci are already a perfect match? Back then, you were at least an intern boyfriend, now you're probably just a passerby."

Bo Jingzhou said smugly: “She’s still carrying my child. Since she’s willing to give birth, it means she has me in her heart. Once I’ve taken care of what’s on hand, I’ll chase her back.”

Gu Chenye was still quite angry, but when he mentioned the child, his anger dissipated instantly. Even the wind blowing past felt less cold.

He lit a cigarette, but before he could take a puff, the wind blew half of it away. "My boy," he said, "you're more skilled at this than I am."

Isn't that amazing?

He hasn't seen anyone else able to come up with a pillow yet. Now that it's only been four months, this guy's tail is about to be in the clouds. He brags every now and then, making him hard to expose.

Since mentioning Shen Wanci, Bo Jingzhou's raised lips never drooped: "You don't have to be so envious, anyway you have money, if you can't catch up with women, just spend more money on maintenance, don't end up at the kindergarten pick-up and drop-off when you are recognized as grandpa by other parents."

" "..." Gu Chenye was so angry he could barely speak. He said coldly, "Are you so sure that Shen Wanci is pregnant?"

Bo Jingzhou's smile vanished. "What do you mean by that?"

When he first heard the news, he also had his doubts. He and Shen Wanci didn't have that many times together, and they always used protection. However, the news came from the Bo family, so Bo Jingzhou dismissed his suspicions and just assumed there was a problem with the condom.

And at that time, he decided to keep it a secret from Shen Wanci and investigate the mastermind behind the scenes as Lu Yanchi. He was worried that she wouldn't forgive him later, but suddenly having someone to rely on brought him joy. How could he have overthought things when he was so excited?

Seeing him unhappy, Gu Chenye felt happy: "Don't you know if you have taken any measures yourself?"

Bo Jingzhou: “What did you just mean?”

Actually, he had already guessed it almost completely, but he still wanted to hear the definite answer from Gu Chenye.

Gu Chenye stubbed out his cigarette and was about to speak when a light suddenly appeared in the direction of the master bedroom on the second floor.

He looked up and saw that the room, which had been pitch black just moments ago, was now lit by a light. A slender figure appeared at the window.

It is a thorny matter.

Through the window, the distance was too far for Gu Chenye to see her expression.

The man stood up, took off his cigarette-stained coat and threw it on the bench. As he walked towards the villa gate, he told Bo Jingzhou on the phone: "Yanji is awake, goodbye."

Bo Jingzhou: "Wait a moment, you haven't answered my question yet. What did you mean just now..."

"Ring ring ring."

All he got in response was the dial tone after the call ended.

……

The next day.

The Bo Group.

After Shen Wanci and Nie Yucheng finished their business, it was just time to get off work.

Nie Yucheng closed the file and glanced at his watch: "It's six o'clock. What do you want to eat for dinner?"

"I just ate too many snacks, I'm not hungry yet, so I won't eat dinner tonight. You don't have to worry about me."

"You still need to eat. Work is already stressful, and if you don't eat on time, you're more likely to get sick. If you don't feel like eating the main course, just have some snacks."

Two people walked down the stairs together. It was just after work, and the lobby on the first floor was filled with employees heading out. A person in a maternity and infant store uniform stood by the sofa, with several bags of baby products on the coffee table in front of them.

Seeing Shen Wanci, she hurriedly ran over with things in her hands: "Miss Shen, this is what you bought. I brought it to you."

Shen Wanci was full of question marks: “I…”

Nie Yucheng leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I bought it for you, take it. The other day I heard someone at the company talking about whether or not you were really pregnant..."

The two had already divorced, and there was no news of reconciliation before. When Bo Jingzhou disappeared, Shen Wanci suddenly became pregnant. Anyone would suspect it.

"Since you're not planning on going public anyway, might as well put on a full show and shut those people up."

Shen Wanci glanced around and found that many people were watching them. She gave a strained smile and signed on the shopping list the other party handed her.

Just as she was about to reach out, Nie Yuchen beat her to it and had already taken the thing.

Thank you.

There are quite a few things there, and she's pregnant now. It would be awkward to compete with him in front of so many people.

Nie Yucheng sent her back to the apartment, Shen Wanci: "I'm down, I'll carry it myself."

"This place is closer to the company, and there's a chance some employees live here. It's best to be careful. Let me take you up to your floor."

Seeing Shen Wanci hesitating to speak, he smiled wryly: "Wanci, I have no other intentions, and I don't want to force you. After sending me upstairs, I'll leave."

I don't know if he was a crow's mouth, but just as he finished speaking, Shen Wanci did indeed see a colleague from the company walking towards them. It seemed like they also lived here.

She chuckled: "Thank you."

As soon as the two stepped out of the elevator, they saw Bo Jingzhou standing at Shen Wanci's safety passage. Now that it was dark, the man stood in the shadows, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see him at all.

Bo Jingzhou's gaze first fell on Shen Wanci's belly, then after a pause, he looked at Nie Yuchen beside her carrying baby supplies. He pursed his lips and frowned unpleasantly: "How did you get here?"

This person is always so clingy, following Late Porcelain wherever she goes.
