But it was obvious that her joke was not funny to Johnson. He just stared at her, his calm eyes filled with tenderness that she couldn't see through.

Shen Xingluo's throat suddenly froze, feeling that he had said the wrong thing.

"I'm sorry," she said.

She remembered him saying that he didn't have any family and was always alone, so he liked to see the world with a mask on.

Probably so that he could hide all his loneliness and sadness.

The corners of Johnson's lips raised slightly: "No need to apologize, actually this is good."

He liked her smiling in front of him, just like she did just now.

At night, it's as cold as water.

Shen Xingluo stood on the balcony of his home with a glass of hot milk, looking at the scenery outside.

The neon lights in the distance were reflected in her pupils, twinkling, but tonight she couldn't see their colors.

After looking at the pictures Shen Anan had just sent her, she thought for a long time and decided to call Bo Beicheng.

The phone rang several times. Just when Shen Xingluo thought he wouldn't answer and was about to hang up, his cold voice came from the other end: "Is something wrong?"

Shen Xingluo coughed, and her heartbeat sped up inexplicably: "The old lady secretly ran to school to see An An and the others, did you know?"

After hearing what Aunt Yu said that day, I didn't expect that Shen An'an also secretly told her about it.

That day at the school gate, not only Aunt Yu noticed Mrs. Bo's car, but Shen Anan also noticed it, but she just kept silent.

In the past two days, Shen An'an collected old Mrs. Bo's updates these days, took pictures and sent them to her mobile phone to remind her to be careful.

Obviously, Mrs. Bo has serious doubts about the life experience of several children, otherwise she would not have taken these actions.

Bo Beicheng was silent for two seconds: "So, this is what you want to tell me?"

Shen Xingluo asked, "Otherwise, do you think I have anything else to say to you?"

Then, a longer silence fell.

Until Shen Xingluo thought he was going to have another attack and get angry for no reason.

"It's okay, don't worry, grandma will never do this again. You can live in peace with your three children."

He said this as if saying goodbye.

Or maybe, this is farewell.

The man he thought would become Bai Yanan would be better off becoming a complete stranger than maintaining unclear contact with him.

"And..." Before he hung up the phone, Shen Xingluo spat out two words.

There was a moment of calm, as if waiting for her to speak.

"Congratulations." Shen Xingluo originally thought that she could say a few words easily.

But there was something stuck in her throat, making it difficult for her to speak.

Bo Beicheng fell into silence again. After a while, he said, "Thank you."

Shen Xingluo's heart sank inexplicably. She felt as if she had lost something important in a moment, which made her forget to hang up the phone.

However, there was no "beep" sound coming from the other end.

She hurriedly hung up the phone as if she was afraid of being caught.

Over here, listening to the indifferent "beep" sound, a crack appeared on Bo Beicheng's expressionless face.

There was a dull pain in my chest.

He put down his phone and stared at the words "Shen Xingluo" in a daze for a while.

Then, he pressed his finger on the screen, and "Add to blacklist" appeared in front of him. It only took one second to operate, but he hesitated for a long time.

He had changed, becoming less clean-cut and resolute, but this change was only for her.

Finally, he pressed the confirm button, threw the phone into the drawer, and covered his face with his hands.

Half a minute later, he took his phone out of the drawer, found the blacklist, and pulled out "Shen Xingluo" again.

It's not that he still doesn't give up on her, it's just because of the child. If she comes to him again because of the child, he can't ignore it.

"Knock knock knock".

At this time, someone knocked on the door of his study.

"Master, can I come in?" Aunt Yu asked respectfully from outside.

"Come in." Bo Beicheng said.

Aunt Yu then pushed the door open and said to Bo Beicheng: "Master, the old lady asked me to tell you that there will be a banquet at the Grand Hyatt Hotel tomorrow to invite the Bai family to discuss the engagement. I wonder if you will be free to attend? "

Bo Beicheng was about to say that he was not free.

Aunt Yu added: "What the old lady means is that for such a big thing as an engagement, it's best for you to be there, so that we can show that our Bo family is sincere."

Bo Beicheng stroked his forehead, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will go."
