Chu Boyan tightened his grip on the car door.

Ji Fengmian fastened his seatbelt.

The man stood up and said to Chu Boyang, Drive carefully. However, when he turned to look at Chu Boyangs cold and dark eyes, he was slightly stunned. He sized up Chu Boyang suspiciously.

Chu Boyang closed the car door and stood there for a long time before turning around to get into the car.

She started the car silently. Ji Fengmian saw that his grip on the steering wheel was tight and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. His voice was obvious.

However, there was nothing unusual about his expression. He was calm and composed.

Is the food here good? Chu Boyang asked after the car had driven for a long time.

Not bad.

Ill bring you along next time.

No need. I dont want to do it again for the time being.

Then come back when you want to eat.

Ji Fengmian remained silent.

You dont have to drive me next time.

Next time

Chu Boyang repeated and his eyes seemed to crack.

After returning to the villa, the two of them entered the house. Chu Boyang told the servant, Remember to call her for dinner on time. Then, he went upstairs.

There was no need to inform him about dinner.

In fact, he didnt appear for dinner, nor did he appear at night. Even the milk that he had to personally bring to her every night was sent in by the servants.

Ji Fengmian held the gla.s.s of milk in his hand. The temperature was almost the same as when Chu Boyang brought it in.

Madam, dont worry. Ive seen Master heating the milk every day. I know how much he has poured and how hot it is. You should read for another ten minutes before drinking it, right? The first time I reminded him that it might be too hot, he told me casually.

Ji Fengmian looked down at the gla.s.s of milk and clenched his fists.

The servant hesitated for a while before saying, But Madam Master hasnt had dinner tonight. He called me to bring you the milk. He has been alone in the study for seven to eight hours. Is he really fine without eating or drinking?

Ji Fengmian looked at the clock beside him and fell silent for a while. Go and rest first.

Seeing no reaction from her, the servant acknowledged and left.

Ji Fengmian didnt read as usual. He got out of bed and walked to the window.

The moon was bright and the stars were spa.r.s.e.

It was a rare good day.

The lights in the courtyard downstairs were still on. Two servants were walking out with trash bags.

There were m.u.f.fled conversations mixed with occasional laughter.

They were still young.

She lived in her own way.

She carried a trash bag in her hand and worked all day, but she was still living happily.

Did they have a bad past?

There was probably something.

She might have gone hungry before, she might not have been able to buy the dress she liked, she might have fallen on her way to realize her dream, and she might have had an unrequited first love

But they didnt seem to be living too badly now.

Taking a deep breath, she raised the gla.s.s and took a sip of milk.

Indeed, after being used to the temperature of milk for so many years, the current temperature was still not as hot as before.

She removed the gla.s.s from her mouth and looked down at the empty gla.s.s bottle on the windowsill.

After staring at it for a few seconds, she put the gla.s.s of milk aside and picked up the jar.

When she first moved in, she realized that it was impossible.

She had taken the empty gla.s.s bottle that he had given her at the orphanage and kept it in the Chu residence.

She didnt bring them to the Shen family, and she didnt pay attention to Uncle Chu and the rest when they moved.

Moreover, even if she was taken away by Uncle Chu, how could she end up in Chu Boyangs hands?

It shouldnt be her

However, when she saw the signature on the gla.s.s bottle, she didnt know what to say.

After all these years, it had actually returned to her.

He placed it in front of her.

Ha.

Ever since she received this birthday gift, she had never made a wish.

Back then, he had promised to fulfill her wish of saving it in the jar. She didnt take it lightly, but she only cared about being angry with him.

When they met again, she didnt have anything she wanted. The Chu family never lacked anything from her, and Chu Boyang didnt have the chance to use this bottle on her.

Now

Her fingers gently caressed the smooth gla.s.s.

He wondered if this bottle would be as useful as he had said back then.

Outside the window, two servants walked back happily after throwing away the trash.

She looked away, put the gla.s.s bottle back, and picked up the gla.s.s of milk again.

After drinking the milk, Chu Boyan still didnt come in at nine oclock.

Nine-thirty, still nothing.

Ten oclock. Still nothing.

Ji Fengmians face darkened and he fell asleep.

After midnight, the bedroom door was finally opened gently.

A tall figure slowly approached the bed and stopped in front of Ji Fengmians bed.

The lights in the room were still on and he could see Ji Fengmians sleeping face clearly.

Even when she was sleeping, she was so indifferent. Her facial features and expression were completely the same as usual. Even her eyebrows did not change.

His gaze landed on her exposed shoulder. He bent down and pulled the blanket up gently.

However, when he saw her shoulders up close, his dark eyes that were hidden under the faint light seemed to want to collide with her. His eyebrows twitched.

Her grip on the blanket tightened and she trembled. In the end, she placed the blanket on her shoulder.

After doing such a simple action, Chu Boyangs face was already covered in sweat.

In the end, she bent down and propped herself against the bed before slowly sitting on the ground.

He turned his head and stared at Ji Fengmians sleeping face for a long time. His arms rested on his bent legs and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

Her mind was filled with the image of the man touching her this afternoon.

He had to be nervous and careful when he touched her.

But that man actually dared to touch her so openly.

She had been with Shen Defan for so many years, but he had forced himself not to think about anything.

Didnt he care if she asked?

He cared.

How could he not care about her being intimate with another man?

That was something he had owned and lost.

What he desired was something that others could easily obtain

But what could he do? He still wanted her.

However, she refused to listen.

She wanted to continue meeting that man.

She wanted to

Her eyes suddenly blinked and her Adams apple bobbed.

She wanted to wanted to choose another man like back then and force him to leave helplessly?

This time, would it be for life?

He wanted to touch Ji Fengmians face, but he stopped himself.

He couldnt allow himself to hurt her in any way.

For the entire night, Chu Boyang locked himself in the study room and suppressed the raging fire that was burning in his chest.

He couldnt help but want to rush out. Be it that man or her, they had to make things clear to him.

He wanted to remove the mans hand, but if he did that, Mian would definitely accuse him, scold him, and hate him again. She might even use this opportunity to shake him off.

He wanted to ask her why she wanted to meet another man and eat with him. She even allowed him to touch her!

Was she going to use the same trick to make him leave?

But he couldnt be rash. He couldnt hurt her. He wasnt sure if he would lose control and hurt her.

He didnt think he would, but he couldnt just feel that way.

He didnt know what to do with her.

No one could afford to offend him.

No one could refute her.

She was very stubborn.

After more than twenty years, he still hadnt figured out how to deal with her.

Other than the old method of pestering her, he didnt know what else to do.

Ji Feng had something on her mind before she fell asleep, but she had been waiting for something subconsciously.

She turned around in the middle of the night. Her elbow was leaning towards the other half of the bed. It was empty.

After two or three failed attempts, her heart felt emptier. In the end, she opened her eyes in frustration.

Seeing that the other side of the bed was still empty, she frowned.

It was already light outside.

She sat up and wanted to turn the light up, but she saw a black shadow sitting under the bed.

She took a deep breath and a chill ran down her spine.

Chu Boyang only planned to cover her with the blanket after she turned over, but he didnt expect her to wake up.

It was late autumn and close to winter. The sky outside the window looked like it was only five or six oclock. She usually woke up around seven.

He stood up with some effort and bent down to look at her. His voice was hoa.r.s.e and low.

Why are you awake so early?

Ji Fengmian could vaguely see his face. His hands and feet were cold. He suddenly reached out and slapped him hard.

Her voice was exceptionally crisp.

Chu Boyang paused. Seeing Ji Fengmians pale face, he reached out to grab her shoulders. Her body was trembling.

Sorry

He hugged her tightly in his arms.

Ji Fengmian was shocked. After a long while, she gradually felt the pain from his strength.

Are you trying to strangle me?!

Ji Fengmian struggled for a while. His voice was hoa.r.s.e and filled with anger.

The next second, Chu Boyang loosened his grip.

Ji Fengmian pushed her away and tied up her messy hair. He looked at her coldly.

You sat there all night?

Chu Boyang shook his head. No overnight.

I slept past ten last night She paused and turned her head away. You werent here.

Ji Fengmians voice sounded a little awkward, but it made Chu Boyangs heart skip a beat and joy surged out.

You have been waiting for me?

Ji Fengmian fell silent for a while before turning to look at him. Im afraid youll wake me up if I fall asleep!

There was a faint smile on Chu Boyangs lips.

Its my fault. It wont happen again.

Ji Fengmian frowned and lay down again.

Get out if youre not sleeping.
