Bo Jingzhou pursed his lips and remained silent.

The meal ended in this unsettlingly quiet atmosphere.

Shen Wanci got up to pay the bill, but Bo Jingzhou grabbed her hand. "Chen Xu has already paid," he said.

He had never thought about holding her hand before because he didn't think he was worthy, and Shen Wanci wouldn't agree either. But once he did, he didn't want to let go. "The weather is nice tonight, why don't we take a walk?"

Shen Wanci looked up at the pitch-black sky. She couldn't tell if the weather was good, and it seemed to be getting a bit colder. The wind blowing against her skin felt chilly.

"Go ahead and shop by yourself, I'm not interested."

She was preoccupied with things and had a tiring day. She didn't have the energy to go shopping; she just wanted to go back, take a bath, lie down and watch some TV shows to relax.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand from Bo Jingzhou's palm, the man asked, "Don't you want to know who in City A had ill intentions towards you?"

Shen Wanci raised her head in surprise, momentarily forgetting to withdraw her hand: "You found out?"

"Well," Bo Jingzhou took the opportunity to hold her hand and stood beside her, "Go shopping with me, and I'll tell you."

The other party's identity, Lu Feng, had already told her, when he sent her to the car. However, she wasn't sure if he was telling the truth.

Shen Wanci hesitated for a moment, but still decided to listen to who Bo Jingzhou was talking about, “Let go first.”

Bo Jingzhou reluctantly loosened his grip on her boneless hand.

Shen Wanci: "Where shall we go shopping?"

The man randomly pointed to a person in the most crowded area. He wasn't really interested in shopping, so it didn't matter where he went.

When there were many people, the road became crowded. There were also a few children carrying toys weaving and chasing each other in the crowd. Bo Jingzhou reached out with his hand to protect Shen Wanci in his arms, his hand didn't touch her, but he created a space where she wasn't touched by others.

The closer you get to the crowd, the louder the music gets. Through the gap, it sounds like someone is live-streaming and dancing.

Bo Jingzhou didn't go to see the commotion; his whole mind was on Shen Wanci, avoiding anyone bumping into her: "Wanwan, Qin Hexi can do things, so can I. Those junk foods, I can also accompany you to eat. I will pick out fish bones too, don't like him, the Qin family is not as good as you think, Qin Hexi's parents are both old cadres, they are strict, you definitely won't be able to adapt..."

“I know I haven't been good enough in the past. As a husband, I haven't been responsible enough, and as a partner, I haven't been considerate enough…” He paused, “Maybe I haven't spoken nicely either, but I will try my best to learn how to be a qualified husband and won't let you suffer those grievances anymore.”

Shen Wanci was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Bo Jingzhou..."

She had just uttered a name when Bo Jingzhou covered her mouth, a self-deprecating smile curving his thin lips: "Don't say it, let's talk business. A City Ginger family, have you offended anyone from their family?"

Hearing this surname again, Shen Wanci was certain that the person targeting her was from the Ginger family. However, she hadn't met anyone with that surname throughout her life, let alone offended anyone.

Since she doesn't know the person, it's highly likely that they are targeting her because of her mother.

Bo Jingzhou frowned, he felt Shen Wanci was hiding something from him.

Just as I was about to ask, someone suddenly shouted in the crowd: "It's raining."

The raindrop was as big as a bean, and when it hit the ground, it bloomed like a flower.

Just a moment ago, the crowd that had been thronging around in three layers inside and three layers outside had vanished in an instant. Shen Wanci hadn't wanted to go shopping anyway, and now that she had received the answer she desired, she ran faster than a rabbit. If not for Bo Jingzhou's long legs, he wouldn't have been able to catch up with her.

Chen Xu didn't know where to find an umbrella, so he gave it to Bao Jingzhou.

The rain fell heavily very quickly, the dense raindrops falling and soon soaking through people's thin clothes. Thin Jingzhou opened his umbrella, completely shielding Shen Wanci under it.

Shen Wanci's apartment was right next to the night market. She entered the building and brushed the water droplets off her body: "I can just go up myself, thank you for the umbrella."

Bo Jingzhou closed his umbrella and gestured for her to look at his right shoulder. His light-colored shirt was wet, somewhat see-through, and clinging to his body, revealing his beautifully sculpted muscles. "Because of you, I'm soaked through," he said with a smirk. "Since you want to apologize, at least have some sincerity about it."

He seemed to dislike being wet, his brow furrowed. "I'll go take a shower at your place. Chen Xu went back to the car to get my clothes for me; they should be here soon."

Just as Shen Wanci was about to speak, someone called her, "Miss Shen."

Two figures emerged from the gloom.

Seeing the face of the person walking in the front, Shen Wanci's eyes widened in surprise.
