Bo Jingcheng stood beside her, shoulder to shoulder with her. The two of them were shrouded in the light, and their shadows were reflected on the ground, stretched out and constantly intertwined.

Ji Shunuan lowered her eyes and looked at the two figures. After a while, she raised her eyes and looked at him.

“It’s just my guess, but it’s almost certain!”

"So even though half of the previous death records were torn up, I am sure there was something wrong with my mother's death. She definitely could not have died of dystocia."

"And it was impossible for me to be without food. When I was almost starving to death, I was blessed by Mr. Gu who gave me a bowl of rice."

"She has such powerful resources behind her. Even if she is dying, let alone starving to death, I believe these bosses behind the scenes will find a way to save her."

"Ji Jianchong must be frightened after being beaten by you this time. Just keep an eye on him. Maybe the truth about my mother's death will come to light soon." Ji Shunuan's voice was trembling.

Although she analyzed these things rationally, she was still a 23-year-old girl after all, and the pain in her heart was unspeakable.

"Yeah." Bo Jingcheng responded in a hoarse voice.

Ji Shunuan suddenly smiled and looked at him, whispering: "So this time you deliberately captured him, even letting him witness the whole process, and then seriously injured him."

"Do you want to scare him, causing him to collapse mentally, and then release him so that he will be physically and mentally exhausted and feel scared, and then make the wrong choice?" Ji Shunuan asked in a low voice.

Bo Jingcheng didn't expect her to be so smart.

He laughed hoarsely, reached out and tapped her smooth forehead, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Ji is really smart, she understood it at once."

"People like him who are afraid of death will only feel afraid when they actually see death or feel it."

"He surrendered himself before, but it was just a show. Because the evidence is still insufficient, he will be released soon. But he is the safest in prison after being arrested."

"Ji Jianchong may look reckless, but he is actually very smart, otherwise he would not have been able to climb to his current position."

"So, we just need to break through his inner defenses to make him feel fear."

Bo Jingcheng's voice was low, but every word clearly expressed his inner thoughts to her.

The two people's thoughts overlapped almost tacitly. The look in Ji Shunuan's eyes as he looked at him changed from admiration to amazement.

They smiled at each other, and Bo Jingcheng reached out and gently stroked her cheek.

“I told you I would help you, so just relax! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, live in the present and enjoy everything you have now.”

"I will be your and grandma's support. With me here, everything will be fine." Bo Jingcheng's magnetic voice sounded in her ears.

Ji Shunuan felt that his voice was like thunder, so pleasant that it awakened her inner desire.

In the past, she had fantasized about being saved by others, hoped to be loved, and longed for family affection and love. Unfortunately, she later discovered that she could not have it.

The Ji family wanted to use her for marriage in order to gain more resources and benefits.

Gu's company took advantage of her and kept exploiting her, hoping that she would get more projects and resources for Gu's company.

Even though Mr. Gu seemed to love her on the surface, he was actually scheming behind her back.

No one really treated her well, and no one really loved her with all their heart, and in the end Ji Shunuan gave up.

But fortunately, she had the company of Shen Chen and An Linlin. When she thought she would have nothing else in her life except friendship, she unexpectedly met Bo Jingcheng.

"What if I use you and divorce you after I get everything? Wouldn't you be at a loss?" Ji Shunuan asked with a low laugh.

Bo Jingcheng's handsome face was extremely serious. He held her little face in his hands and looked down at her.

"What does it matter? I really like you and I really want to treat you well. I don't care whether you want to divorce me in the future. I only care that I treat you sincerely."

"Being nice to you doesn't require you to give anything in return, nor do I need you to pay anything for me. I just want you to be well and live happily, that's enough." Bo Jingcheng said in a deep voice.

Every word he said shocked her heart.

It turns out that with Bo Jingcheng, I don't have to weigh the pros and cons of everything, nor do I have to be cautious about everything.

For the first time, someone told her that all she needed to do was live happily. She didn’t need to do anything, and no one was required to give or give answers.

"Do you treat me as a child?" Ji Shunuan's mouth twitched.

She was so moved that her eyes turned red, but she still asked jokingly.

Bo Jingcheng lowered his eyes, looked into her beautiful almond eyes, and said word by word: "In my eyes, you are a child. No matter you are 23 now, or 33, 43, or 53 in the future, you are my child."

"Boom." Ji Shunuan's mind went blank.

She stared at Bo Jingcheng blankly, unable to hold back her tears any longer, and they rolled down her cheeks. She turned her face away and tried to wipe away her tears, but the man's slender fingertips rested on her cheek and wiped them for her.

The man's fingertips rubbed her delicate face.

"Be good, don't cry. I'm saying this not because I want to move you, but because I think you deserve a better life, and I want you to live a better life, too." Bo Jingcheng said in a hoarse voice.

Ji Shunuan said nothing, she took half a step forward.

She buried her little face in Bo Jingcheng's arms, listening to the man's strong heartbeat. At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

She stood in front of Bo Jingcheng, her small hands tightly grasping his sleeves.

"Nuannuan." Bo Jingcheng stood there, letting her hug him tightly. His hand froze in mid-air, and after a long while he gently patted her back.

He lowered his head to smell the faint scent of her hair, then rested his chin on the top of her head and let her hold him.

The two of them were silent as time passed.

With a bang, the door was pushed open. Huo Mianmo rubbed his neck and walked in. He angrily threw the documents aside and cursed, "Damn it, I'm so tired."

As he spoke, he reached out to turn on the light and found that the light in the lounge was on.

Huo Mianmo was dumbfounded. He looked at the crayfish shell on the coffee table and the two pairs of chopsticks beside him. His Adam's apple moved and he subconsciously looked towards the window sill.

Seeing Bo Jingcheng standing there, Ji Shunuan buried her little face in his arms. The two seemed to be standing in each other's arms. The scene was so beautiful that it made him feel suffocated.

“You, you guys, damn, Bo Jingcheng, you and your sister-in-law are dating here?” Huo Mianmo was stunned.

He was panicking inside. He stood there, backing away at a loss. He wanted to reach out to turn off the light, but found it was not appropriate. He then hurriedly picked up the documents he had just thrown away.

“Excuse me, I didn’t know you were here. I thought… slap.” Huo Mianmo said as he slapped himself in the face.

Ji Shunuan listened to the man's strong heartbeat. She was startled when she heard the door being pushed open. She turned her head to look at Huo Mianmo's stunned expression.

She was about to move when she found the man's arms wrapped around her, holding her tightly so that she couldn't move.
