"Worried? Why?"
Su Heng frowned. Although he knew Fanxing would be emotional after the breakup, it seemed that she would not be bullied, judging from the situation today.
"Brother Heng, aren't you curious about the identity of the man in the car? Sister just broke up with you and I'm sure she can't control her emotions now. What if she takes things too hard and randomly finds a rich man to spite us…"
Su Heng's face darkened and he replied coldly, "Fanxing is not that kind of woman! She has always been virtuous and honorable."
They had been together for eight years. Even when both of them attended school, and were at the age where they should be impulsive and romance was of utmost importance, the two of them hadn't done anything improper. The most they had was a hug that was done out of etiquette.
Even then, there were times when she would feel awkward and shy, despite the fact that she had been by his side all these years.
He had seen every side of her, and she led a mundane life where she mainly worked and went home.
How could she have done such a thing to seek revenge on him?
"Has she always been… chaste?"
Shen Qianrou bowed her head and muttered as her eyes darkened.
Shen Fanxing, just you wait, I will remember this incident!
"I really hope Sister doesn't do anything stupid. That man… might just be a coincidence…"
She whispered in a low voice, mentioning the man casually again.
"Alright, don't worry. When Feifei comes out later, I'll send you home. You don't have to go to the company today. I reckon the entrance is probably filled with reporters."
Despite what Su Heng had said, his eyes glinted darkly.
"Yes, Grandma has already informed me."
Shen Qianrou nodded lightly, only to feel her face being cupped.
Su Heng gently caressed her reddened cheek, and his eyes were full of love.
"I have let you suffer. Does it still hurt?"
"No… it doesn't." Shen Qianrou bit her lips, looking as if she was trying her best to suppress her grievances. But tears still streamed down her face.
"Silly girl. Admit it if it hurts. Why are you trying to be strong in front of me?"
Shen Qianrou shook her head and buried her face in Su Heng's embrace.
"It doesn't hurt. With your concern and love, it doesn't matter how much it hurts. My heart feels like it's been sprinkled with honey. It doesn't hurt at all…"
Su Heng reached out to hug her waist before lowering his head to kiss her hair affectionately.
"I'll send you home later."
"Okay."
…
Shen Fanxing sent Old Lady Bo home. Given her advanced age, she forced herself to chat with Shen Fanxing for a while despite being fatigued. After some time, she gave in and needed to rest.
"Fanxing, you've been busy the whole afternoon. Why don't you take a nap too?On the second level, the room right at the …"
Shen Fanxing smiled awkwardly and replied, "It's okay, Grandma. You go ahead and rest. I will just take a walk around the garden later."
On the second level, that room on the right was Bo Jinchuan's bedroom. She was well aware of that!
The previous incident was already embarrassing enough. Why would she want to go in again?
Old Lady Bo sounded a little disappointed as she said, "Alright then. Fanxing, treat this as your own home and enjoy yourself!"
"Okay, go and rest, Grandma."
"Okay."
It was already evening and dinner would be served soon.
Previously, she had only taken a casual look at the plants in the courtyard. Now that she had carefully studied each plant, they were indeed beautiful.
The flowers of different shapes, colors and sizes were all trimmed neatly. In this season, there were a few flowers that were in the form of buds, waiting to bloom. The sight of these flowers waiting to blossom was delightful.
The fragrance of the plants and the scent of the flowers made Shen Fanxing, a perfumer, unconsciously concoct several scents in her mind.
There were a few flowers that she wasn't familiar with. She couldn't help but bend down to study the scent, only to feel a dull pain in her waist…
