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

“Mian, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you again. I’ll protect you. I won’t let you get hurt again.”

Ji Fengmian’s body stiffened. “Let go of me.”

Chu Boyan only hugged her tighter.

Ji Fengmian started to struggle. “Let go of me, you’re 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 don’t need your protection now! On the contrary, you just hurt me! Don’t 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, I’ll get you a gla.s.s of water.”

Ji Fengmian’s hands trembled uncontrollably.

When the door rang again, she jumped.

But it wasn’t Chu Boyang.

“Madam, are you alright?”

The servant looked at her strangely and couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t go out.

“Aunt Ji.”

Chu Juncheng had always been respectful to Ji Fengmian. However, he didn’t smile and calling her Aunt Ji didn’t sound affectionate.

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

She shouldn’t have asked further, but thinking of Chu Boyang’s abnormal behavior a few days ago, she still asked.

“Why are you here?”

“I’m here to see Father.”

Indeed.

“What… happened to him?”

“Doesn’t Aunt Ji know?”

Ji Fengmian tightened his shawl. “What should I know?”

Chu Juncheng frowned. “Yes, I’ll 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 didn’t 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 can’t stay here anymore.”

“Get lost. It’s 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 won’t scare her. She’s worried about me? I don’t want her to worry… But I also want her to worry about me… But she doesn’t want me to live well. She hates me… If I don’t live well, she won’t worry about me…”

Chu Boyang’s 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 won’t. She hates me… Get lost. I’m not at the stage where you can lie to me to enlighten me.”

Chu Juncheng took a deep breath and said, “It’s 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 didn’t want to be with him now because she hated him and didn’t 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. You’d better live the rest of your life with guilt and pain towards her. But… whether it’s because you forced you to leave back then or because she wants to leave you now, she doesn’t want to see you living in pain with her own eyes. You can suffer, but don’t let her see you. So Father, since you really love her, it’s best not to let her see you like this. She’s different from ordinary people. If it’s 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 Boyang’s voice sounded again. “…Get lost, I’m not leaving.”

Chu Juncheng sighed and said, “She refuses to compromise no matter what. You know that you won’t 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 won’t go with me, so I’ll 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 wasn’t 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, I’ve almost gone crazy from your torture.”

Ji Fengmian paused before sneering.

“You’ve gone crazy from my torture? Ha, then I’m really a scourge. Discuss with him and let me go. It’s good for everyone.”

“You heard him. He won’t.”

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 didn’t hesitate at all.

“With all due respect, you’re really heartless. If he had half of your heartlessness, he probably wouldn’t 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. It’s best if you let go of him completely.”

“Say what? Say that I don’t hate him and that he doesn’t have to fuss about the past?”

“More or less.” Chu Juncheng stood up and looked down at her. “You’d better not agitate him. He’s had a few relapses in the past… Do you know how Auntie Ji died?”

“She couldn’t 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 don’t have to think too much. She did commit suicide. She jumped into the lake in the hospital. It’s not because of a heart attack. I think it’s 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 Fanxing’s father?”

Ji Fengmian’s face darkened and he stood up from the sofa.

“What a ridiculous question. Her surname is Shen.”

“My surname is Chu, but I’m not Chu Boyang’s Chu.”

“…”

“In short, if you want him to let you go, you have to untie the knot in his heart. Don’t 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?”

“It’s fine. Then the two of you can continue like this. In Father’s words, as long as I’m with you, it doesn’t matter if I lose a few years of my life.”

“If you put it that way, he might live a long life if he’s not with me. But you seem to be thinking too simply. I can’t open the knot in his heart. Do you think he will believe me if I say that I don’t hate him anymore? It’s 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 can’t do anything about it, there’s nothing I can do.”

The veins on Chu Juncheng’s forehead bulged. This woman…

Chu Juncheng didn’t stay any longer. She didn’t 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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?”
