Chapter 256 He's Back

In the evening, after tidying up, Sang Ruo drove to the Shen family's old residence to give Old Madam Shen a follow-up medical check-up.

When she arrived at the Shen family home, Shen Qingzhuo was already waiting for her in the living room and personally led her to Old Madam Shen's room.

When the review was over, Shen Qingzhuo insisted that she stay for dinner.

Sang Ruo ultimately rejected him, citing Chen Anni's cooking at home as the reason.

He escorted her to the gate of the courtyard, his gaze towards her carrying a hint of reluctance.

Just as she reached for the doorknob, Shen Qingzhuo suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Sang Ruo instinctively turned around and looked at him curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Sister Ruo, I know it might be very abrupt to ask you this, but I've had this thought in my heart for a long time, and I really want to know the answer..."

Shen Qingzhuo stopped there and didn't continue.

He gazed at her silently, as if waiting for her response.

A vague unease suddenly rose in Sang Ruo's heart.

After a moment of contemplation, she withdrew her hand and finally asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Shen Qingzhuo subconsciously lowered her eyes, looking at her empty hand, a faint trace of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

He gritted his teeth and finally asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Bo Jinyan?"

Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo's upper eyelashes trembled slightly involuntarily.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but feel nervous for a moment after hearing those words.

It's like a secret that's been buried deep in your heart for a long time, suddenly being discovered.

Hearing that she didn't say anything, Shen Qingzhuo quickly stepped forward and took her arm again.

He frowned and pressed, "Boyfriend? Or lover?"

Sang Ruo's heart was pounding wildly.

The secret that had been hidden for so long was actually discovered by Shen Qingzhuo.

Even if he knew the truth, she didn't intend to admit it: "Xiaozhuo, these are my private matters. I hope you won't delve into them. After all, it's impossible for us to be together, so who I'm with doesn't really affect you much."

"How could it not have an impact?" Shen Qingzhuo's eyes flashed with disbelief: "My feelings for you are not just empty words. I'm determined to win you over and marry you!"

Faced with such a heartfelt confession, Sang Ruo panicked for the first time.

Shen Qingzhuo was a very special person to her.

She was his benefactor, and he was her good friend...

However, if things continue to develop in this way, it will not be good for either of them.

Some things, after all, still need to be said.

Sang Ruo gritted her teeth and blurted out, "But I don't like you..."

Shen Qingzhuo's hands, which were gripping her wrists, tightened their grip in an instant.

Sang Ruo tried to break free from his wrist again: "Xiao Zhuo, you are a very good man, but I have been married and had children, and I have also been to prison. Even if you like me, I don't like you, and the Shen family will never agree to you marrying me."

The next second, the man suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Those large hands gripped her waist tightly.

"It's okay, I don't care about any of that. As long as you try to fall in love with me, I can handle everything else. You are the first person I've ever loved, and you will be the last..."

"Xiaozhuo, please don't do this."

Sang Ruo tried to escape from his embrace, but he held her tighter and tighter.

What are you two doing?

At that moment, a sharp voice suddenly came from the side.

The two of them turned their heads almost simultaneously, looking in the direction from which the sound was coming from.

Bo Jinzhou strode quickly toward them, his eyes radiating a cold aura.

Before Shen Qingzhuo could release Sang Ruo, Bo Jinzhou reached out and pulled him away.

Sang Ruo also completely broke free from Shen Qingzhuo's embrace.

"They just got divorced, and they're already hugging and kissing in public. Aren't they afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"

"You're already divorced, why are you still meddling so much, Mr. Bo?" Shen Qingzhuo clenched his fist instantly, his eyes flashing with coldness: "She's neither your girlfriend nor your wife now, what right do you have to interfere?"

"If I'm not qualified, do you think you are?" Bo Jinzhou reached out and grabbed his collar, the coldness in his eyes intensifying. "Who do you think you are?"

"Stop arguing!" Sang Ruo reached out and grabbed Bo Jinzhou's arm. "Let go of me!"

"So you're even protecting her?"

Bo Jinzhou's voice was filled with gritted teeth.

Sang Ruo used all her strength to completely pull his hand off Shen Qingzhuo's collar.

Fearing they might come to blows, she had no choice but to pull Shen Qingzhuo away: "Qingzhuo, you go inside first! I have a few words I want to say to him."

Despite her reluctance, Shen Qingzhuo finally strode into her home after meeting Sang Ruo's cold gaze.

Sang Ruo turned around and glared at the man in front of her: "What are you doing here? Did you follow me again?"

Bo Jinzhou pointed to the villa next door: "I came here to visit a friend, and I didn't expect to see you two hugging and kissing like that. You're really something! You've already come to someone else's house! But have you forgotten that we just got divorced a few days ago!"

The man's voice rose slightly, filled with anger.

The next second, he pressed her against the side of the car without hesitation, gripping her shoulders firmly with both hands.

"Can't you be a little more virtuous? Are you so dependent on men? Will you die without one?"

Looking into his angry eyes, Sang Ruo felt inexplicably happy for some reason.

She calmly replied, "Yes! I just can't live without a man, not even for a moment..."

"If you couldn't leave me, why did you divorce me in the first place? Didn't you love me so much before? How could you fall for someone else so quickly?"

"Can't I get tired of it? Can't I try something new?" Sang Ruo curled her lips into a cold smile: "Only you men are allowed to have fun outside, but we women can't? And you expect me to uphold some kind of wifely virtue? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Bo Jinzhou was clearly angered by her words: "Aren't you afraid I'll expose all the dirty things you've done?"

Sang Ruo asked in a low, hoarse voice, "What disgusting thing have I done?"

"You're having an affair with some random guy in our room, isn't that disgusting? If I expose this, your reputation will be ruined!"

"Really?" Sang Ruo said casually, "Then go ahead and spread it. Let's see if the man behind me will let you off the hook. Knowing him as I do, if you expose me, he'll naturally expose you too. I bet he'll chop you up and throw you into the river to feed the fish!"

Bo Jinzhou sneered: "Am I afraid of that kid?"
