Chapter 240 Winning Hearts and Minds

In that sense, it makes Bo Siye seem considerate, while Shen Jiheng seems rather stingy.

President Shen, who is adept at business, is unsuccessful only in matters of the heart.

"So you had already contacted your family abroad, why didn't you tell me?" Han Xi knew that Bo Siye had an aunt abroad besides his grandfather.

The elderly man is receiving treatment at a nursing home, and she can't very well tell him about these things and worry him. As for relatives abroad, she plans to wait until Bo Siye wakes up before making a decision.

Little did I know that he had already called his family without my knowledge.

With a gentlemanly smile, Bo Siye said considerately, "I didn't want to trouble you. Since Shen Jiheng is here, you should go back and rest with him first."

It was clearly him who risked his life to save Han Xi, and he was always thinking of her. Han Xi was extremely grateful.

Shen Jiheng gritted his teeth inwardly. This Bo Siye really had some skills. Even at a time like this, he still had a way to win people's hearts.

“I’ve found you an experienced caregiver. Just tell him what to do if you need anything. I’ll come see you again later.”

Bo Siye refused, saying, "You have a lot of things to do yourself, so there's no need for you to come. My aunt is here and can take good care of me."

"No matter how busy I am, I can still find the time to go and say hello to them and explain some things."

As Han Xi is his best friend in China, and moreover, he saved her from serious injury this time, so it's only right and proper for him to take care of her.

Bo Siye couldn't refuse her enthusiasm, but someone's expression turned sour.

After giving her instructions, Han Xi went out, but Shen Jiheng crossed his arms and leaned against the corridor railing, showing no intention of walking with her.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you leaving? Auntie and the others are in the doctor's office. I have some things to tell them."

"I'll be waiting for you here."

Putting aside the past grievances between the Shen and Bo families, given his and Bo Siyue's current situation, he doesn't want to see his family.

Han Xi didn't want to force him, so she nodded and said, "Then you wait for me in the car first, I'll be right there."

Seeing her leave as soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jiheng sighed inwardly. Right now, Han Xi only had Bo Siye in her heart and didn't care about his feelings at all.

Last night, Han Xi was taking care of Bo Siye at the hospital, while he stayed at home with the two children, unable to sleep all night, fearing that Han Xi's feelings might change.

He went to great lengths to bring their hearts closer, but this incident has caused them to drift apart again.

How long will it take for that damned Bo Siye to disappear from their world?

Shen Jiheng was restless in the car, glancing at his watch every now and then, wondering why Han Xi hadn't come out yet.

Qin Chuan reminded him, "President, I know you are anxious right now, but please don't slander Mr. Bo at this time."

Shen Jiheng glanced at him with displeasure and said coldly, "Isn't it said that he was seriously injured and couldn't even speak? Didn't you see that he was in very good spirits? He was such a gentleman just now that he overshadowed me."

Qin Chuan said awkwardly, "If you could talk less, the effect would definitely be better."

Shen Jiheng frowned, and Qin Chuan quickly lowered his head.

The things he said in the ward just now were enough to make a living person angry to death. Qin Chuan really admired his ability to do whatever he wanted.

Shen Jiheng couldn't tolerate anyone showing off their relationship with Han Xi in front of him, so of course he had to shut them up.

A moment later, Han Xi arrived, and Shen Jiheng immediately opened the car door.

Shen Jiheng said considerately, "You've had a long day, let me take you home to rest."

"No need, I need to go to the law firm."

"...What are you going to the law firm for?" Shen Jiheng's mood suddenly dropped, feeling as if he and Han Xi were not on the same level.

Han Xi explained, "Qianqian just called me and said she wants to trouble me with something."

Shen Jiheng said worriedly, "You haven't rested all night, and now you have dark circles under your eyes. I don't think you're even clear-headed. How can you be of any help?"

Qin Chuan awkwardly tried to salvage the situation: "President, I know you're worried about Miss Han not getting enough rest. Let's go ahead and buy her a cup of coffee to perk her up. You can just stay by her side and give her some pointers."

Qin Chuan is really going to great lengths for this CEO. If he could put even one percent of the business tactics he uses into his emotions, he would have won Han Xi back long ago.

If things continue in this manner, the two will become irreconcilable enemies.

Concern can cloud judgment; Shen Jiheng's slip of the tongue was due to his excessive worry for her.

Han Xi was in no mood to argue right now, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll take a nap first, and call me when we get to the law firm."

Before Shen Jiheng could say anything more, Qin Chuan quickly gestured to him. What he needed to do now was to quietly stay by Han Xi's side and support whatever she did, instead of contradicting her.

Even if his intentions are good, you still need to figure out that the fact that the other person agreed means it must be something important.

Shen Jiheng breathed a sigh of relief and helped her rest her head on his shoulder.

"It's more comfortable here."

Han Xi didn't refuse. Her mind was blank right now, and she just wanted to rest for a while.

Feeling drowsy, Han Xi quickly fell asleep and showed no signs of waking up when they arrived at the law firm.

Shen Jiheng gently tidied the stray hairs around her ears, feeling a pang of tenderness. Why was this woman so strong-willed? She could have relied on him, but she insisted on venturing out on her own.

Qin Chuan handed him the coffee he had bought, indicating that he should wake the person up.

Despite his reluctance, Shen Jiheng gently patted her shoulder.

"Han Xi, we've arrived."

Han Xi groggily opened her eyes, stretched, and took out a makeup box from her bag.

After all, you can't look haggard when you're in such a formal place.

Shen Jiheng handed over the coffee again, saying considerately, "Have some coffee to refresh yourself. What's so urgent that I called you over in this situation?"

It was rare to see Shen Jiheng being so gentle and considerate, so Han Xi took a few sips of the drink and started applying makeup.

She explained, "Qianqian said she had a case on her hands, and she had originally agreed to help. However, when she was receiving her this morning, she had severe abdominal pain and fainted. She found out she was pregnant after a check-up at the hospital."

Upon hearing that Zhuo Qingqian was pregnant, Shen Jiheng recalled that Gu Beichen had come to him for advice a while ago and said a lot of nonsense. It seems that he really did go through with it.

"How is she doing now?" Shen Jiheng responded politely to the question.

Han Xi sighed, "Qianqian has never been ready to have a child, and she hasn't been taking care of her health lately. She's either staying up late or drinking alcohol, which may have affected the fetus. She needs further examination."

Shen Jiheng sighed. He had taught Gu Beichen some methods, but this guy didn't even bother to advise Zhuo Qingqian to be more careful during this time.

"It seems this situation is a bit troublesome."

"That's right, she's at a loss right now. Plus, the case she's handling involves a relative from her hometown who came all the way here to ask for her help. The law firm is too busy right now, so they had to ask me to go and receive them first."

Shen Jiheng truly regretted giving Gu Beichen those suggestions back then. Now that Gu Beichen's wish had come true, it had only dragged Han Xi into the mess.

She already had enough to do at her company, and she also had to find time to visit Bo Siyue, the injured man. Of course, the most important thing was that she didn't have time to spend alone with him.
