Chapter 108 We should have a child.

Bo Jinzhou stood still, his deep eyes quietly watching her.

Jiang Yimian felt uneasy under his gaze, so she jumped off the bed, ran barefoot to him, and threw herself into his arms.

The woman's body was so supple and boneless, and the fabric of her pajamas was so thin that you could clearly feel how soft she was.

Bo Jinzhou's Adam's apple bobbed a few times as he carried her to the bed. "I've been smoking. Go rinse your mouth first."

Jiang Yimian nodded, her voice gentle, "You should smoke less in the future."

Bo Jinzhou squeezed her fingers, his voice hoarse: "Concerned about me?"

She smiled brightly: "Of course I care about you."

"Aren't we husband and wife?"

Bo Jinzhou looked at her, a pang of sadness rising in his chest. Yes, they were husband and wife.

He hugged her tightly, as if afraid she would run away.

Jiang Yimian was so breathless from his hug that she patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, go wash up. You smell like smoke, it's awful."

Bo Jinzhou released her. "Okay."

After washing up, Jiang Yimian still sat obediently on the bed waiting for him, smiling innocently and brightly, just like when she was a child.

Bo Jinzhou took a few steps over, grabbed the back of her head and made her tilt her head back, then lowered his head to kiss her. His kiss was deep and intense. Jiang Yimian tried to lift her neck, but she couldn't bear the position and fell backward.

The man took the opportunity to press her down on top of him. The longing he had felt over the past few days overwhelmed him in that instant, and he grabbed her shoulder strap and ripped it off forcefully.

A red mark quickly appeared on her snow-white skin, which was incredibly tender.

Jiang Yimian was having trouble breathing, and a thin blush rose on her snow-white cheeks, making her look both alluring and seductive.

A series of soft, clattering sounds came from inside the bedroom door.

Two hours later, Jiang Yimian was lifted up weakly by him and carried to the bathroom.

He placed her on the marble countertop, his eyes bloodshot with a frenzied lust. "Wife, Photoshop it."

Jiang Yimian immediately snapped out of her daze, her eyes filled with disbelief. "How...how could this be?"

Bo Jinzhou reassured him, "It's alright, I reacted quickly."

This time he changed to a different style, and Jiang Yimian was once again dragged into lust.

Jiang Yimian edited three videos that night, cried for a long time, and her throat became dry and hoarse. The next day, Jiang Yimian slept until after 11 o'clock.

She tried to get up as soon as she woke up, but Bo Jinzhou held her shoulder down and said, "I've already asked for leave for you. Just stay home and rest today."

Jiang Yimian angrily slapped his hand away, "How dare you say that? You tormented me like a madman last night, I felt like I was going to die in your hands."

Bo Jinzhou smiled and touched her cheek. "Sorry, I couldn't control myself for a moment."

Jiang Yimian frowned and dodged his hand. "It was already broken yesterday. Just in case, go and buy some medicine."

Bo Jinzhou: "What medicine?"

"Birth control pills!"

Bo Jinzhou's eyes turned cold. "You want to kill our child?"

Jiang Yimian: "...No, the child hasn't arrived yet."

Bo Jinzhou, however, said, "We should have a child."

Jiang Yimian's expression was somewhat unpleasant. "I don't really want it right now. There are so many things that haven't been resolved, and I'm not ready."

Bo Jinzhou pursed his lips and didn't say anything more, but simply picked her up from the bed. "Okay, then let's not do it for now."

After taking her to wash up, Bo Jinzhou gave her the medicine he had bought.

Jiang Yimian swallowed it without hesitation.

After having dinner with her, Bo Jinzhou went to his study to work.

Jiang Yimian looked towards the study, feeling very uneasy. She could tell that Bo Jinzhou was behaving strangely; they had grown up together since childhood, and she knew very well how cunning Bo Jinzhou was.

Moreover, the fact that three were broken yesterday is clearly not a coincidence.

Jiang Yimian was still worried, so she made an excuse to go for a walk and went to a pharmacy outside the community to buy emergency contraceptive pills and took them.

After finishing the medicine, she felt relieved and threw the rest of the medicine into the trash can before going home.

The next day, the butler arranged for several sets of jewelry and several formal dresses to be delivered to Yunduan.

Although the Tang family's eldest grandson's full moon celebration was not a business party, the attendees were all prominent figures in the business world, so discussions about cooperation were inevitable.

For such an occasion, Jiang Yimian naturally opted for a formal look, choosing a blue halter-neck dress that beautifully showcased her shoulder and neck lines, revealing skin so smooth and supple it looked like it could be pinched to release moisture.

I was given a set of emeralds and jade, and a makeup artist came to my home to do my styling and makeup.

Bo Jinzhou was still wearing a black business suit, looking cold and imposing. Jiang Yimian thought it looked too lifeless, so she changed his clothes to a blue shirt and a striped tie.

Jiang Yimian was adjusting his tie. Bo Jinzhou looked at her quietly with his eyes lowered, his hand on her waist, his arms around her. After she finished adjusting, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Jiang Yimian tilted her head to avoid it, saying, "Don't smudge my makeup."

Bo Jinzhou gently straightened her chin.

He lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers, without making any further moves.

*

At the Jiang residence, Lu Wenchang's men were reporting to him on the recent whereabouts of Jiang Yimian and Bo Jinzhou.

"President Bo's assistant has been missing for over half a month. Our people have been searching for a long time but still haven't found him. Bo Jinzhou took Li Lan and her family away, and they can't be found there either..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Wenchang angrily smashed the teacup.

His men all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

"I told you to keep a close eye on him, especially Bo Jinzhou. Is this how you did it? A bunch of useless idiots."

The butler led Bo Qingshan in, and Lu Wenchang ordered everyone to leave.

Bo Qingshan knew what had happened just by glancing at his men and Lu Wenchang's expressions.

"Wenchang, I have brought good news this time."

Lu Wenchang is now extremely cautious and dares not gamble anymore.

"Qingshan, things have come to this, and I really don't know what to do."

Bo Qingshan: "Your people didn't find it, but my people did. Song Zhou has already met Guo Jie, and Guo Jie will soon be boarding a plane back to China."

Lu Wenchang's pupils contracted sharply, and he gripped the sofa cushion tightly. "What?"

"Don't worry, as long as he hasn't returned to China, everything is still possible. They will transit through the United States."

The United States... Lu Wenchang's eyes were filled with murderous intent; this was his last chance.

“We’ve been on the same side for a long time, Wenchang. Don’t worry, I’ll help you. I’ll tell you where Guo Jie is. You can decide what to do.”

After saying that, Bo Qingshan left.

Lu Wenchang immediately arranged for people to go to the United States to keep an eye on things.

While in prison, Lu Yiwan kept asking to see Lu Wenchang, but Lu Wenchang refused outright.

Su Yan died in the hospital due to the severity of her injuries and Lu Wenchang's refusal to pay her exorbitant medical and hospitalization fees.

Jiang Yimian's expression didn't change at all when she learned about this, and the heaviness in her heart eased a little.

All that's missing is Lu Wenchang.

Song Zhou had already escorted Guo Jie to the vicinity of the tarmac, and after boarding the plane, Song Zhou immediately sent a message to Bo Jinzhou.

In the car, Bo Jinzhou looked at his phone with a cold expression. He gently turned off his phone and tightened his grip on Jiang Yimian's hand.

...

At the banquet, Tan Yusu followed her brother in to present gifts, looking around for Jiang Yimian.

She took her phone, walked to the rest area, sat down, and started sending messages to Jiang Yimian.

A huge figure loomed over her from behind, and the man leaned close to her ear, asking, "Who are you talking to?"

Tan Yusu was so frightened that she almost screamed. She jumped up and stared at the man in front of her in terror.

"Huo Yun! What are you doing here?"

Huo Yun was wearing a suit with two buttons undone and no tie, exuding a lazy and arrogant air. "Of course, I was invited by my little white rabbit."

Tan Yusu took a few steps back, looking for her brother, "Don't do anything reckless with so many people here."

Huo Yun walked around and sat down, staring straight at her. "Am I that kind of person?"

Tan Yusu cursed inwardly, "You're just that kind of person, you bastard."

Huo Yun seemed to see into her mind, "She's scolding me again."

Tan Yusu gave a fake smile: "No, no, I wouldn't dare."

Huo Yun's eyes held a hint of a smile. "Little rabbit, your good friend asked me for help. What do you think I should do, help her or not?"

Tan Yusu instantly became alert. "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you already agree?"

"I agreed, but whether I give you the clues or not depends on my mood."

Tan Yusu gritted her teeth, "What exactly do you want?"

Huo Yun beckoned to her with his finger, then got up and walked towards the garden.

Tan Yusu looked around, adjusted her breathing, and followed.

The man stood in front of the artificial rockery and fountain, hands in his pockets, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a tall stature. He exuded an arrogant and domineering aura.

"Little rabbit, you know what I mean. As for whether her matter can proceed smoothly, that depends on you."

"Don't involve others in our affairs."

Huo Yun turned around and walked towards her, "But our relationship started because of her."

Tan Yusu froze. Huo Yun walked up to her, reached out and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, his eyes carefully observing the expression on her face: "We have to see this through to the end, don't we?"

Tan Yusu closed her eyes briefly and asked directly, "Want to date me?"

Huo Yun raised an eyebrow, "Will you let me sleep with you?"

Tan Yusu raised her chin. "Here you go."

Upon uttering that word, Tan Yusu felt her blood boil, as if she were experiencing the thrill of breaking through the tedious rules of her home.

The Tan family has been wealthy for three generations. The rules passed down from their ancestors are strictly followed by the Tan family’s children. Her eldest brother is a very good heir. He is meticulous, abides by the rules, and listens to his parents. Except for the matter of marriage, he does everything perfectly.

As the youngest daughter of the Tan family, Tan Yusu was much more tolerant than the other children, but she was often scolded by her father and grandfather, which made her very dissatisfied with the family rules. She had a little devil in her heart who was always thinking about breaking through this cage.

Huo Yun is a dangerous and exciting person. Dating him would only cause trouble for your parents.

Huo Yun was somewhat surprised to receive the answer. Without giving her a chance to refuse, the man's strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

He grabbed her chin and kissed her fiercely. He was strong and didn't pay attention to the pressure, making Tan Yusu's bones ache. She didn't back down and bit him.

The two seemed to be secretly competing, neither willing to give in.

-

Jiang Yimian met some acquaintances with Bo Jinzhou, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Tan Yusu and Huo Yun together.

Jiang Yimian made an excuse to leave and came to her. She saw that Huo Yun's lip was sore and frowned as she looked at Huo Yun, who also had a sore lip.

"you……"

Tan Yusu waved her hand, "We'll talk about it later."

Seeing her brother arrive, Tan Yusu stood next to Jiang Yimian, a little distance from Huo Yun. She had acted impulsively and wasn't ready yet.

Tan Sijin came over to check on the group and took the initiative to greet Huo Yun.

Huo Yun shook hands with him, showing great respect. "Mr. Tan, I've heard so much about you."

Tan Sijin: "What is your name?"

Huo Yun put one hand in his pocket and said, "Just call me Huo Yun. I'm from Hong Kong."

Upon hearing "Hong Kong," Huo Tan Sijin understood and nodded.

Then we started exchanging business cards.

Tan Sijin looked at Jiang Yimian, who was dressed very brightly and beautifully today. "This dress suits you very well."

Jiang Yimian smiled gently and nodded, "Thank you, Brother Sijin."

Tan Sijin: "I heard that after you joined Jiang's Group, you led your team to prepare for the spring project. You have a strong ability to adapt."

"Brother Sijin, you flatter me. It's mainly because everyone cooperated very well."

Seeing that the two had started chatting, Tan Yusu made way for them, saying, "You two, Mr. Huo and I just arrived and are quite curious, so we'll be going now."

Tan Yusu gestured to Huo Yun to leave.

Huo Yun remained motionless like a large rock, leaving Tan Yusu with no choice but to step forward, grab his sleeve, and leave.

Tan Sijin noticed this and frowned slightly.

The two went up to the second-floor terrace. Tan Sijin thought of what Tan Yusu had said last time, and he gripped his wine glass tightly.

Jiang Yimian looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Brother Sijin, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss?"

Tan Sijin looked at her seriously, "I heard from Su Su that you and Jin Zhou are not getting along."

Bo Jinzhou, who was searching for Jiang Yimian, looked up and saw that familiar figure, and immediately went upstairs.

Jiang Yimian was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Tan Yusu would tell Tan Sijin.

She pursed her lips, her expression serious. Tan Sijin gripped his wine glass tighter and tighter. "Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to pry into your private affairs."

Tan Sijin: "Mianmian, I'm sorry I couldn't help you back then."

Jiang Yimian's heart suddenly felt heavy.

After the incident, she sought help from people around her, but everyone refused to see her, and some even repeated the same words.

She asked the Tan family for help, but Uncle Tan refused to see her, and Mrs. Tan told her to leave.

It was raining heavily that day, and her umbrella was blown away. Just then, Tan Sijin came back from outside and let her into his car.

Jiang Yimian thought there was hope, but Tan Sijin looked troubled when he came out of the study.

Jiang Yimian understood. She didn't linger any longer and never asked anyone for anything again.

Tan Sijin hurriedly said, "Is there anything you need help with? I can help you."

Jiang Yimian's voice turned colder, "No need, thank you for your kindness."

Tan Sijin's face turned pale.

"Mr. Tan, I'll call you Brother Sijin for Su Su's sake. Apart from Su Su, I don't want to have any dealings with anyone in the Tan family."

“Back then, my mother and Aunt Tan were such good friends. Even if she couldn’t help, she shouldn’t have kicked me out.”

"I probably will never forget it in my life."

Tan Sijin looked pained. "I know, so I'm trying my best to make it up to you now."

Bo Jinzhou came out into the open air and overheard their conversation. He leaned against a pillar and listened to their dialogue.

“No need,” she refused quickly, her eyes clear but severing: “Mr. Tan, you haven’t done anything wrong.”

Tan Sijin put down her wine glass, composed herself, and asked, "Then why is Bo Jinzhou allowed to?"

"He hurt you too, didn't he?"

Jiang Yimian felt as if a wad of cotton was stuffed into her chest, making her feel as if she were suffocating. Her face was cold, and her voice was deep and icy: "I will not forgive him even more."
