Bo Jingcheng returned to the villa and just went upstairs when he saw Ji Shunuan coming out of the old lady's room and closing the door gently.

"Grandma is asleep?" Bo Jingcheng asked in a deep voice.

After Ji Shunuan closed the door, he lowered his voice and said, "I guess he was exhausted. He just took a shower and fell asleep on the bed."

"Do you have any scratches on your body? Do you need a doctor to take a look?" Bo Jingcheng asked with concern.

Ji Shunuan shook her head. She opened her arms and spun around in front of him, saying, "Do I look injured to you?"

The man looked at her figure spinning with her arms outstretched, he leaned to the side and watched her quietly.

"I'll go back to my room to take a shower first." Ji Shunuan said, and walked past him into the room.

Bo Jingcheng watched her close the door before walking towards the study.

Ji Shunuan returned to the room, turned on her cell phone, and found many missed calls and unread messages.

Ji Shunuan ignored those unfamiliar missed calls and called Shen Chen back directly.

"Sister Chen, what's wrong?" Ji Shunuan asked in a low voice after getting through the call.

Shen Chen was obviously getting impatient and asked, "Nuan Nuan, what's wrong with you? You turned off your phone all day, I was scared to death, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I accompanied Bo Jingcheng to burn incense for his grandfather today. The location is quite remote and there is no signal, so I didn't see your call." Ji Shunuan explained in a low voice.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. I thought something had happened. By the way, Gu Zhiyuan called me and wanted to know about you."

"I feel that your marriage must have been a big shock to him. He's like crazy! He keeps asking you whether your marriage is fake, and asking him what he should do before you forgive him." Shen Chen said, wanting to roll his eyes.

If Ji Shunuan asked to forgive him, she would be the first one to disagree.

It is so speechless that a scumbag would do what Gu Zhiyuan did.

"Don't worry about him." Ji Shunuan said coldly.

When she mentioned Gu Zhiyuan, she got a headache.

She had never liked him, but did he really think that she loved him so deeply that she was willing to work for Gu's for many years, so did she want to be exploited by him?

"By the way, you asked me to check what happened to your mother in the past. I feel it's a bit strange." Shen Chen said in a low voice.

Ji Shunuan's heart was in suspense for a moment. She felt her heart beating faster, her mouth was dry, and she was even a little scared.

He quickly reached out to take a sip of the water beside him, then asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"The year your mother gave birth to you, a lot of things happened in Jincheng. Many pregnant women died of complications during childbirth. There were many medical disputes in hospitals that year, and some even resulted in two deaths."

"Later, some people suspected that the hospital's doctors had problems with their skills, and some said there was something wrong with the anesthesia. There were all kinds of opinions."

"But something strange happened afterwards. The matter was left unresolved. I don't know if your mother's accident was related to these things, but I feel it is necessary to tell you." Shen Chen said in a low voice.

Ji Shunuan held the phone tightly, and the pregnant woman who gave birth in the alley last night appeared in her mind.

"I understand." Ji Shunuan said in a low voice.

Shen Chen heard that her voice sounded a little tired, so he didn't plan to say anything more.

"Then you take a rest first. I'll call you if there's any news later." Shen Chen said in a low voice.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Shunuan walked into the bathroom and took a hot shower. She felt comfortable and relaxed. She stood there looking at the huge mirror.

Looking at the person in the mirror, her skin is fair and rosy, and her whole body is glowing.

The scratches on her arms were still oozing with blood. She washed them casually, then changed into her nightgown and walked out.

He took out the medicine box, disinfected his arm, and applied some hemostatic medicine.

The abrasion on her arm was not serious, but she still groaned in pain during the disinfection. Only after the medicine was applied did she collapse weakly on the sofa.

"Woof woof woof" At this time, the Tibetan Mastiff ran in from outside.

Seeing her lying on the sofa, he immediately rushed over, lay on the edge of the sofa, and rubbed against her affectionately.

"Wait, are you good today?" Ji Shunuan asked in a low voice.

The Tibetan Mastiff seemed to understand and nodded quickly, wagging its tail.

Ji Shunuan propped up his side face, held its face with a serious expression, looked it up and down, and said, "Well, it looks like it's in good spirits."

"Woof woof woof" The Tibetan Mastiff immediately raised its tail to the sky when she praised it.

Ji Shunuan reached out and carried it to the sofa, letting it lean against the side.

"When I'm free later, I'll take you out for a walk?" Ji Shunuan asked in a low voice.

The Tibetan Mastiff immediately stretched out its claws and hugged her arm, as if afraid that she would go back on her word. Ji Shunuan was amused by its action, and she patted its head with a low laugh.

"But I need to rest for a while, so you are not allowed to make noise." Ji Shunuan said in a low voice.

The Tibetan Mastiff immediately raised its paws and covered its mouth.

It was so well-behaved that it turned around and jumped to the ground, lying there guarding. Then it jumped to the bay window, sat there leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the sea view outside.

Ji Shunuan lay on the sofa and fell asleep soon.

In her sleep, she felt as if she was suppressed by something, standing in a dark cave. No matter how hard she ran, she couldn't get out.

At this moment, a big hand stretched out from the ground and held her feet.

"Ah." Ji Shunuan was so frightened that his body fell down instantly.

She subconsciously reached out to grab it, but her hand hit nothing in mid-air. At this moment, a strong arm reached out and held her little hand.

"Nuannuan, Ji Shunuan." Bo Jingcheng's hoarse voice kept ringing in her ears.

Ji Shunuan kept struggling, muttering to himself.

"Ji Shunuan." Bo Jingcheng saw that she seemed to be suppressed by the nightmare and couldn't wake up. He quickly reached out to lift her up, gently shook her and said, "It's okay, you are dreaming, it's okay, it's okay."

Ji Shunuan opened her eyes suddenly in fright. At this moment, her nightgown was soaked with sweat.

She kept kicking her legs, leaning in Bo Jingcheng's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat. She leaned there weakly, and only looked up slowly after a long time.

"Am I dreaming?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

Bo Jingcheng sat there, holding her up, and took a tissue to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

"Yes, it was a dream." Bo Jingcheng said in a deep voice.

He looked at her with some concern and asked in a deep voice, "Were you frightened today?"

"No, I guess I'm too tired." Ji Shunuan shook her head quickly.

It's definitely frightening, but it has nothing to do with having nightmares.

"By the way, how did you get in?" Ji Shunuan saw him sitting aside and then realized that he had come to her room.

When she asked him about it, Bo Jingcheng said in a deep voice, "I wanted to ask you to get up for dinner, but you seemed to be having a nightmare, so I stayed here."

Ji Shunuan suddenly realized after hearing this.

"You know what, I'm a little hungry." Ji Shunuan said with a low laugh.

Afraid that Bo Jing would feel guilty, she jumped off the sofa as if nothing had happened.
