Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The secretary’s lips twitched. “… Special Assistant Yu, I heard a woman calling out just now…”
Yu Song pursed his lips. “Ah… Yes, they might be fighting…”
The secretary shook her head. “I don’t think so. A woman’s voice is very clear. If she wasn’t in front of the phone, her voice wouldn’t be so loud…”
“Maybe… they fought and twisted together…”
The secretary glanced at him. “Secretary Yu, I’m not that stupid…”
“…”

The phone was slammed shut and Bo Jinchuan placed his hands on both sides of Shen Fanxing. His handsome face pressed against hers with an imposing aura.
“Who are you picking up at the airport?”
“Lan Xianxian and Ou Ximing.”
Shen Fanxing said softly as she buttoned Bo Jinchuan’s shirt.
Bo Jinchuan picked up the phone without another word.
Not long after, he said, “Go to the airport to pick up Lan Xianxian.”
Shen Fanxing paused and looked up at Bo Jinchuan.
Bo Jinchuan put away his phone swiftly. While she was still confused, his body was suspended in the air and he was being hugged.
Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
“What… are you doing?”
Bo Jinchuan smiled faintly and bent to plant a kiss on her lips.
“There’s only the two of us here. What else can I do besides you?”
Shen Fanxing’s face turned red.
In her shyness, she was carried to the big bed in the lounge.
Her long hair was scattered behind her head, as if a beautiful and dazzling lotus flower had bloomed on the bed. Her messy shirt revealed her fair and delicate skin.
Her usual indifferent and cold appearance was now gentle and charming.
Especially her professional work attire, which was now in a mess.
Knowing that she had “hungry” the man for the past few days after returning from Hong Kong, Shen Fanxing knew that she couldn’t hide today. With her male charm, she didn’t think of hiding.
She wrapped her arms around Bo Jinchuan’s neck and whispered,
“Then be gentler…”
A starving wolf looked really fierce when it ate…
Bo Jinchuan felt his remaining rationality crumbling.
Seeing Bo Jinchuan’s expression, Shen Fanxing regretted it immediately.
“No… I didn’t mean that…”
“So… you want me to be heavier?”
Shen Fanxing’s eyes widened. “No… Mmm…”
Without a chance to explain, Bo Jinchuan pulled her into a spinning vortex.
–
When Bo Jinchuan drove Shen Fanxing back to the Bo residence, Shen Fanxing’s face was flushed.
Bo Jinchuan parked the car and when he turned to look at her, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
“Are you okay?”
Shen Fanxing’s face turned even redder and she bit her lips, refusing to answer Bo Jinchuan’s question.
Bo Jinchuan chuckled again and opened the car door for her.
Shen Fanxing had already unbuckled her seatbelt and tidied her hair. She took a deep breath before alighting.
The moment her feet touched the ground, she realized that her legs were still weak. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Bo Jinchuan reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
“What’s wrong?” asked Bo Jinchuan, startled. His handsome face was furrowed as he looked down at her sternly.
Shen Fanxing leaned into his embrace and placed a hand on his shoulder. Her face was red as she looked at him with a complicated expression.
Bo Jinchuan paused for a second before chuckling softly.
“Sorry, I was too ruthless.”
“… You’re still laughing.”
Shen Fanxing was really anxious now. There were so many people in the house and so many pairs of eyes. How awkward would it be if they could tell?
Bo Jinchuan chuckled and bent to carry her.
Shen Fanxing was shocked. “Don’t…”
Bo Jinchuan turned a deaf ear.
“Ah Chuan!”
“I know. I’ll only carry you to the door.”
Shen Fanxing heaved a sigh of relief and massaged her legs. “I told you to be gentler…”
Bo Jinchuan smiled and said, “I have no choice. You’re too seductive.”
“…”
The shirking of responsibility was perfect.
When they reached the door, Shen Fanxing urged Bo Jinchuan to put her down.
Bo Jinchuan took a few big strides and carried her in.
“Hey!” Shen Fanxing was shocked. She didn’t expect Bo Jinchuan to go back on his word.
Bo Jinchuan smiled and looked down at her. “I haven’t recovered from the ride. I might not be able to recover now.”
“Then put me down now!”
“No way.”
“…”
The two of them entered the living room and the commotion stopped.
Shen Fanxing gritted her teeth and closed her eyes.
She felt a few gazes on her, and she didn’t know how to face them.
Grandpa, Mom, and the servants…
In the few seconds of silence in the living room, Shen Fanxing was thinking about what to do next. What to say and what expression to use to appear more natural.
However, all the thoughts that flashed across her mind were dispersed by the next voice.
“Brother Bo, you’re back? What happened to Sister-in-law?”
The familiar voice sounded cautious yet calm.
Shen Fanxing opened her eyes slowly.
No wonder she suddenly called him back for dinner. It was Yuan Sichun.
But why did she specially call them back?
Bo Jinchuan carried her and placed her on the sofa.
Shen Fanxing sat calmly on the sofa.
She was still thinking about how to maintain her expression just now, but it seemed like she was overthinking.
At this moment, other than coldness, she couldn’t do anything else.
“Grandma.”
Bo Jinchuan stood up and called out softly. Shen Fanxing paused and turned to look at everyone.
She realized that Old Lady Bo was smiling happily at her and so was Lairong.
“Grandma.” Shen Fanxing was pleasantly surprised.
“Fanxing, are you feeling unwell? Why are you being carried in?”
“I’m fine. I… fell asleep in the car.”
Bo Jinchuan smiled and lowered his gaze to her.
Shen Fanxing avoided his gaze.
The old lady sized them up before beckoning Shen Fanxing over.
Shen Fanxing froze for a moment before standing up. Her legs were trembling slightly, but she still walked slowly to the old lady.
Old Lady Bo pulled Shen Fanxing’s hand and smiled happily.
“How long have you slept? How can your legs be so weak?”
“…”
“…”
Lou Ruoyi and Yuan Sichun, who were sitting together, looked in her direction.
Shen Fanxing couldn’t help but blush.
Lai Rong covered her mouth and chuckled helplessly. “Old Madam, Miss Fanxing is shy. Please be more reserved…”
“…”
The old lady gave Lai Rong a strange look. “What does sleeping have to do with being shy? I was quite reserved, but now that you’ve said that, I’m not.”
Lai Rong pursed her lips in realization. “It’s really… hard on Miss Fanxing.”
As the master and servant went back and forth, everyone knew why Shen Fanxing’s legs were weak.
Yuan Sichun, who was standing awkwardly at the side, could not maintain her smile.
Lai Rong glanced at her calmly before retracting her gaze.
There was a faint smile on her face.
[To be honest, it’s true… When I’ve sorted it out, I’ll return everything I owe to you… It’s only right for me to repay my debt.]
