Ji Fengmians expression changed. Just as he was about to get off the bed, Chu Boyang pulled him into his embrace.

Mian, dont be afraid. I wont hurt you again. Ill protect you. I wont let you get hurt again.

Ji Fengmians body stiffened. Let go of me.

Chu Boyan only hugged her tighter.

Ji Fengmian started to struggle. Let go of me, youre hurting me!

Chu Boyang immediately let go of her. His gaze swept across her and his voice was hoa.r.s.e.

Where?

Ji Fengmian pushed him away. Stay away from me! I dont need your protection now! On the contrary, you just hurt me! Dont come near me! Get out!

Chu Boyang, who was trying to get closer to her, stopped in his tracks. He looked at her for a long time before taking a few steps back.

Calm down, Ill get you a gla.s.s of water.

Ji Fengmians hands trembled uncontrollably.

When the door rang again, she jumped.

But it wasnt Chu Boyang.

Madam, are you alright?

The servant looked at her strangely and couldnt help but ask.

Ji Fengmian shook his head.

Master instructed me to bring you water.

She took it and the warmth of the cup calmed her down.

What about him?

Master is in the study.

Ji Fengmian took a sip of water and nodded lightly.

Chu Boyang spent the entire afternoon alone in the study.

He didnt even come down for dinner.

At 8:30 p.m., she appeared in the room with milk.

The next day, Ji Fengmian went to Grand View Manor.

Three days later, Chu Juncheng suddenly appeared in the villa.

Ji Fengmian couldnt go out.

Aunt Ji.

Chu Juncheng had always been respectful to Ji Fengmian. However, he didnt smile and calling her Aunt Ji didnt sound affectionate.

Ji Fengmian was puzzled by Chu Junchengs appearance. Country B had been handed over to him. How could he have the time to come here?

She shouldnt have asked further, but thinking of Chu Boyangs abnormal behavior a few days ago, she still asked.

Why are you here?

Im here to see Father.

Indeed.

What happened to him?

Doesnt Aunt Ji know?

Ji Fengmian tightened his shawl. What should I know?

Chu Juncheng frowned. Yes, Ill go and see him.

Without much thought, Chu Juncheng went straight to the study.

Ji Fengmian stood there for a while before following her.

Chu Juncheng opened the study room door. When he entered, he saw Ji Fengmian following behind him. His eyes darted around but he didnt close the door.

Chu Boyan frowned when he saw him.

Who asked you to come?

Ji Fengmian had already stopped outside the study.

The smell of tobacco wafted from the study.

It was an unlit cigarette that smelled like tobacco.

Her gaze landed on the table in the study. The crystal ashtray at the corner of the table was already filled with cigarette b.u.t.ts.

They were all broken or distorted.

But there were no signs of ignition.

Chu Juncheng scanned the study and his voice was cold.

You cant stay here anymore.

Get lost. Its none of your business.

Father, Chu Juncheng said in a low voice, Aunt Ji might have feelings for you. Given your current situation, if you continue to let her be, not only will you scare her, but you might also make her worry.

Chu Boyang shook his head. I wont scare her. Shes worried about me? I dont want her to worry But I also want her to worry about me But she doesnt want me to live well. She hates me If I dont live well, she wont worry about me

Chu Boyangs words were incoherent.

Ji Fengmian tightened his grip on the shawl.

What was wrong with Chu Boyan?

Why did her speech become like this?

She will be worried about you.

She wont. She hates me Get lost. Im not at the stage where you can lie to me to enlighten me.

Chu Juncheng took a deep breath and said, Its true that she hates you, but she forced you to leave back then. Until now, she wants to leave you no matter what. Why do you think that is?

Chu Boyang looked out of the window. Why did she hate him? She knew that he loved her, so she chose to marry another man to take revenge on him and make him give up completely. She didnt want to be with him now because she hated him and didnt want to be with him.

Was there a need to ask?

He knew it all.

Chu Juncheng turned his head to look at the motionless figure standing at the door and said slowly,

She hates you and wants to take revenge on you. Youd better live the rest of your life with guilt and pain towards her. But whether its because you forced you to leave back then or because she wants to leave you now, she doesnt want to see you living in pain with her own eyes. You can suffer, but dont let her see you. So Father, since you really love her, its best not to let her see you like this. Shes different from ordinary people. If its as she wishes, she might not be happy.

Ji Fengmian tightened his grip on the shawl. His eyes flickered and he took a few steps back.

After a long while, Chu Boyangs voice sounded again. Get lost, Im not leaving.

Chu Juncheng sighed and said, She refuses to compromise no matter what. You know that you wont get any response even if you pester her like this. Such an endless vicious cycle is meaningless other than both sides suffering losses.

There was a long silence in the study.

She wont go with me, so Ill go wherever she goes.

Chu Juncheng had run out of patience. He walked out with a dark face and met Ji Fengmian.

The two of them looked at each other and left silently.

It wasnt until they went downstairs that Ji Fengmian asked, What happened to him?

Chu Juncheng unb.u.t.toned his suit and sat on the sofa.

As you can see, Ive almost gone crazy from your torture.

Ji Fengmian paused before sneering.

Youve gone crazy from my torture? Ha, then Im really a scourge. Discuss with him and let me go. Its good for everyone.

You heard him. He wont.

They had entered another dead end.

So why did you come all the way here?

You still want him to live like a normal person for a few more years. Either the two of you separate or you return to Country B with him.

I choose the former. Ji Fengmian didnt hesitate at all.

With all due respect, youre really heartless. If he had half of your heartlessness, he probably wouldnt have become like this.

Ji Fengmian smiled indifferently.

So how do you want us to separate?

He had long known what kind of person this woman was, but he had to admit that she had the ability to anger people to death.

There was a reason why her father had become like this.

He refuses to return to the country with me. So tell him clearly. Its best if you let go of him completely.

Say what? Say that I dont hate him and that he doesnt have to fuss about the past?

More or less. Chu Juncheng stood up and looked down at her. Youd better not agitate him. Hes had a few relapses in the past Do you know how Auntie Ji died?

She couldnt bear the pain of a heart attack and committed suicide.

Chu Juncheng laughed. She was pushed downstairs by her father when his illness acted up.

Ji Fengmian suddenly clenched his fists and his face turned pale.

Chu Juncheng continued, But you dont have to think too much. She did commit suicide. She jumped into the lake in the hospital. Its not because of a heart attack. I think its because of her guilt towards her father. Do you know the reason?

Ji Fengmian pursed his lips. Why should I know about the two of them?

Because she lied to Father. She used the child in her stomach in exchange for Father to take her away

What does she have to feel guilty about?

Chu Juncheng smiled and asked, Aunt Ji, who is your daughter and Miss Shen Fanxings father?

Ji Fengmians face darkened and he stood up from the sofa.

What a ridiculous question. Her surname is Shen.

My surname is Chu, but Im not Chu Boyangs Chu.

In short, if you want him to let you go, you have to untie the knot in his heart. Dont let him lose his life because of guilt like Aunt Ji.

Ji Fengmian adjusted his shawl and took a few steps away from the sofa. He brought this upon himself. Why should I untie the knot in his heart?

Its fine. Then the two of you can continue like this. In Fathers words, as long as Im with you, it doesnt matter if I lose a few years of my life.

If you put it that way, he might live a long life if hes not with me. But you seem to be thinking too simply. I cant open the knot in his heart. Do you think he will believe me if I say that I dont hate him anymore? Its impossible. He can only think that I said that to stay away from him.

After she finished speaking, her lips curled into a smile. I think the most important thing for you to do now is to help him find a psychiatrist.

With that, Ji Fengmian went upstairs.

Chu Juncheng took two steps and watched her leave.

All these years, psychiatrists have always been the standard around him. He has always been at odds with himself. His heart wall is harder than steel. If it was useful, would there be today?

Ji Fengmian stopped in his tracks.

If even a psychiatrist cant do anything about it, theres nothing I can do.

The veins on Chu Junchengs forehead bulged. This woman

Chu Juncheng didnt stay any longer. She didnt even give any instructions.

During dinner time, Chu Boyang came out of the study room and called her to eat. His expression and att.i.tude were normal as if nothing had happened.

Ji Fengmian ate alone while Chu Boyang watched television in the living room.

Ji Fengmian didnt eat much before going upstairs.

The bedroom door opened again not long after.

The man, who should have appeared at 8:30 p.m., came in early today.

She shrank back instinctively, but seeing that he was normal, she tried her best to relax.

Chu Boyang handed her the fruit platter.

You didnt eat much for dinner.

Ji Fengmian was silent for a few seconds before taking it.

Chu Boyang turned to leave when Ji Fengmian suddenly spoke.

What do you know?
