Chapter 1051 I Will Always Be By Your Side

Qiao Xing and Shen Boyan looked towards the door at almost the same time.

They didn't know whether the people standing outside were actually police officers.

Shen Boyan gripped the sharp knife tightly.

He knew that if the police saw him making a threatening gesture towards Qiao Xing at this moment, his crime would definitely be proven.

Just then, Sheng Yao's voice rang out from outside the door, "Shen Boyan, are you in there?"

Sheng Yao knocked on the door while calling Shen Boyan's name.

Her sudden arrival disrupted all of Shen Boyan's plans.

He looked at the small knife in his hand and hesitated.

Qiao Xing could tell from his expression that he wasn't beyond help.

She said to Shen Boyan, "If you really want to use this extreme method, I won't stop you, but the premise is that you can really let go of her. You decide what to do."

Qiao Xing glanced at the door and Shen Boyan said, "Anyway, I can't go out now. Just consider it a chance for yourself to see Sheng Yao."

After she finished speaking, she turned and went to the bathroom.

After standing there for a moment, Shen Boyan threw the knife on the coffee table and went to open the door.

Sheng Yao was surprised when the door suddenly opened, and her knocking motion was still frozen in mid-air.

When she saw Shen Boyan, she was stunned. Just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of his still bleeding fingers.

Sheng Yao's eyes widened suddenly. "Shen Boyan, what happened to your hand?"

Shen Boyan remained unmoved. He asked Sheng Yao, "Why are you here?"

"Someone called me and said you were here. I thought it was a scam, but I didn't expect you to actually be here!"

Sheng Yao had already entered the room when she spoke, and she wandered around the living room as if searching for something.

Shen Boyan asked, "What are you looking for?"

While searching through the drawer, Sheng Yao asked Shen Boyan, "Isn't there a first-aid kit or something here? Your hand is still bleeding!"

Her anxiety was so intense that it seemed as if she herself was the one who was hurt, not Shen Boyan.

Shen Boyan said, "No, people don't live here often, so don't bother looking."

Sheng Yao searched for a long time but found nothing, so she simply took out her phone.

What are you doing now?

"Buy it online! You can't keep your hands like that, they'll get infected!"

"Alright, stop fussing. It's all over now."

“You’re bleeding, how can you be alright!” Sheng Yao insisted.

She ordered disinfectant, band-aids, and other items online.

Shen Boyan looked at her and asked, "Aren't you going to ask how my hand got like this?"

Sheng Yao belatedly realized what had happened and asked, "Yeah, how did you get your hand like that? And what are you doing here?"

Shen Boyan was speechless at her quick thinking.

She came here without understanding anything; no one but her would do that.

Shen Boyan asked her, "Who called you?"

Sheng Yao shook her head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, I received a call saying you were here, and that you were alone. I was a little worried, so I came over."

As Sheng Yao was speaking, she suddenly remembered something else, "Shen Boyan, your father..."

She had just learned of Shen Boyan's father's death before she received the call.

That's why Sheng Yao rushed over in a hurry after someone told her that Shen Boyan had arrived.

Because she was worried about Shen Boyan.

But Shen Boyan didn't seem sad, or perhaps he was actually very upset but just didn't show it.

He said calmly, "It was bound to happen sooner or later. I've already thought of that."

Sheng Yao opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

She grew up in a happy and fulfilling family.

Even her only deceased grandmother left her after enjoying her later years.

Although I was very sad at the time, my grandmother passed away peacefully.

Unlike Shen Boyan's father, she did not suffer from illness.

The main reason is that Shen Boyan's family situation is much more complicated than hers.

She was unable to put herself in Shen Boyan's shoes, nor could she truly understand him, so her words at this moment did not offer any comfort.

But Sheng Yao still said to Shen Boyan, "Don't be sad. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Although you probably don't need me much.

Sheng Yao said silently in her heart.

Shen Boyan glanced towards the bathroom, then sat down on the sofa and said to Sheng Yao, "You can go back now."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yao immediately said, "No way! You're in this state, how can I go back alone? If anyone's going back, it has to be me going with you!"

Shen Boyan knew that once she got into this mood, nothing he said would make a difference.

He could only try to scare Sheng Yao, "I've already done this to myself, aren't you afraid I might do something to you?"

Sheng Yao asked in confusion, "What can you do?"

Looking at her innocent appearance, Shen Boyan felt a sense of helplessness.

It was no coincidence that Sheng Yao was here.

Perhaps she was already there when the police arrived.

The police had already arrived, but Sheng Yao was the one who came.

Shen Boyan knew that all of this must have been arranged by someone.

As for the purpose, Shen Boyan could more or less guess it.

Shen Boyan suddenly felt somewhat pathetic. He knew perfectly well that Qin Ce was doing it on purpose, yet he had cowardly chosen to compromise.

He had to admit that he did soften his heart and feel afraid when he saw Sheng Yao appear.

He didn't know how heartbroken Sheng Yao would be if she knew what he had done; given her personality, she would probably cry every day.

Shen Boyan was actually trying to convince himself that perhaps this approach could lead to a better outcome for him and Sheng Yao.

But when he saw Sheng Yao's eyes, he couldn't convince himself otherwise.

Sheng Yao thought that Shen Boyan was just too sad right now, so he wanted to be alone for a while.

She also knew that she should give Shen Boyan some space at this time.

But seeing him like this, Sheng Yao really couldn't feel at ease.

She walked over and sat down next to Shen Boyan, saying to him, "I know you're feeling terrible, but I'm already here, so let me keep you company. If you don't want to see me, I'll just stand by the door, okay?"

Sheng Yao stared at Shen Boyan expectantly, afraid that he would reject her.

Shen Boyan had just opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Sheng Yao immediately spoke up.

"I'll wait for you outside. Once you're feeling better, we'll go back together. After all, you have to go see your father..."

As soon as Sheng Yao finished speaking and stood up, Shen Boyan grabbed her hand, "I'll go back with you."

This was the first time Shen Boyan had taken the initiative to hold her hand since they had known each other for so long.

This was the first time Sheng Yao had felt that this man's hands were not as cold as he appeared.

His palms were warm and generous; simply holding hands with his filled one with a sense of security.

Sheng Yao smiled, her eyes shining brightly. "Okay."

Qiao Xing listened to the conversation outside from inside the bathroom, and only breathed a sigh of relief when Shen Boyan said he was going back.
