At a private room in Green Jade Entertainment Club…
The private room was filled with lively conversations as Yin Ruijue, Li Tingshen and a few others had reached early. A handful of them had returned to the city a few days ago to attend this gathering.
"Young Master Yin, it's past 7:00 p.m., why isn't our CEO Bo here yet?"
Yin Ruijue slouched lazily against the couch with a cigarette in his mouth. He looked like a rich bum.
"What's the hurry? He'll be here any time. I met him personally this afternoon. Besides, have you ever seen him break his promise?"
"Not really."
"Even though he didn't do it before, that doesn't mean he won't do it this time. I heard that he's been pretty busy these few days."
Upon hearing that, Yin Ruijue flew into a rage and shot up from his seat.
"Since we have nothing to do now, why don't we make a bet? Let's bet if Brother Bo will be here today. Whoever wins this bet and he doesn't make it tonight, I'll call the winner Daddy, okay?"
When the rest heard Yin Ruijue's words, nobody dared to bet that Bo Jinchuan wouldn't turn up today.
Everyone knew that Bo Jinchuan was the closest to Yin Ruijue amongst them.
They all agreed to yield to Yin Ruijue.
However Li Tingshen, who had been silent all this while, curled his lips deviously. Mischief danced in his eyes.
"I don't think he can make it today."
"Damn it! Li Tingshen, are you out to oppose me?"
Everyone was speechless…
Li Tingshen raised an eyebrow, his good-looking and refined face full of nonchalance.
He settled back comfortably on the couch again and gradually, the smoke from his cigarette blurred his features.
…
Bo Jinchuan reached Grand View Manor at 7:30 p.m. The car stopped abruptly, producing a screeching noise.
The moment he entered the manor, Aunt Zhang rushed towards him. Her face was full of worry.
"I've asked Ms Shen to rest in the guest room. She seems to have caught a cold. She has already drank some ginger water."
...
Shen Fanxing has finished the ginger water and covered herself with the blanket. Within a few minutes, the top of her nose was covered in beads of perspiration.
Bo Jinchuan stood by the bed gazing at her. His good-looking face was aloof and solemn. His dark orbs were swirling with indescribable emotions.
He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and bent to sit on the bed.
The side of the bed sank, and his scent and breath invaded her senses.
Her eyes were heavy, but her eyelids struggled to open slowly and weakly.
Seeing the man sitting next her, her expression relaxed a little.
"Bo Jinchuan…"
Her voice was hoarse and the breaths she exhaled were hot.
Bo Jinchuan smiled at her.
"It's me."
There were no emotions in his expression and his faint smile seemed distant.
"You're indeed alert."
Shen Fanxing pressed her lips. Her vision was blurry as she was feeling unwell. Blinking, things in her vision sharpened and came into focus slowly.
She could gradually make out the man's dark eyebrows, his raven black eyes, sharp nose and thin lips…
Exquisite features and a face that could make all ladies swoon.
Alert?
No matter what, caution and alertness had become an instinct.
"Do you want some water?"
Bo Jinchuan asked as he stared at her lips. Despite asking, he had already reached for the cup.
Shen Fanxing struggled to get up.
She might as well…
"I don't want…"
Her unfinished words didn't leave her lips…
Bo Jinchuan seemed to know Shen Fanxing's answer. She had just began to talk when he raised his head and drank a mouthful of water. Then, he bent swiftly and planted his lips on hers.
Shen Fanxing froze instantly, her eyes widening in shock!
