The night wind is bleak and cold, and the moon and stars are sparse on the black curtain.
After leaving the hospital, Shang Boyu took her straight into the car.
He turned on the heater and gave Meng Sheng the warm pack he always kept in the car. He squeezed her cold knuckles tightly and said, "It's minus two degrees tonight. Where's your coat? Why are you wearing Pei Sui's coat?"
Meng Sheng looked at him steadily.
Whether it was his tone, attitude, or even his behavior, his concern and nervousness for her were evident.
She knew that Shang Boyu was annoyed and suspicious about her and Pei Sui's seemingly close relationship, but his first reaction was not to question her, but to worry about her.
She suppressed the slight emotion that shouldn't have existed, and secreted bitterness that gradually spread into her mouth.
"Tonight I wanted to go to Hua Yang Fang on Zhong Huai Road to buy some orchids. When I passed by Yuan Tong parking lot, I heard a fight and saw Pei Sui fighting with a man in black clothes. The man was carrying a weapon. I was afraid something might happen, so I called the police."
As for the sulfuric acid incident later, she just said that Pei Sui saved her, and her coat was splashed with sulfuric acid, so she threw it away.
The more Shang Boyu listened, the deeper his frown deepened. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on her hand, and his voice was filled with strong reproach, "Nonsense! That's sulfuric acid, and you dared to go up and save people?"
"You are pregnant now. What if Pei Sui is slow to react and the sulfuric acid is poured on you? He is a grown man. Does he need a woman like you to save him?"
Shang Boyu's tone became more severe, and his breathing became rapid. "I don't care whether Pei Sui is okay or not, and it has nothing to do with me, but you and the child are my life, I can't live without you!"
His expression was so genuine and sincere.
Meng Sheng was in a trance for a moment. The handsome and gentle face in front of him seemed to have suddenly overlapped with the young man full of vigor and vitality back then.
The boy who loved her dearly, was patient and considerate to her in everything, and whose heart was filled with her.
But now it is like a passing cloud, she cannot catch it and can only watch it fly away.
In the end, Shang Boyu pinched her nose and she came back to her senses. "Wife, why are you always in a daze recently? Did you hear what I just said to you? Don't take your life lightly. Is Pei Sui worth risking your life for?"
She smiled slowly and said, "Okay, I get it. I won't do it again..."
"Still thinking about the future?" Shang Boyu frowned, "You must stay away from Pei Sui in the future and don't have too much contact with him. He has only been in the legal field for a few years since graduation. How could he have achieved what he has today? I don't deny his ability, but it is precisely because of his ability that the biggest problem he faces is danger!"
"He has offended too many people. It is only because of the background of the second young master of the Pei family that many people dare not trip him up. He is not a person with a good temper. People's hearts are hidden, and we cannot predict anything. It is not a good thing for you to get close to him."
Meng Sheng, however, was completely unaware and kept chewing on his words, "The heart is hidden in the stomach."
yes.
It turns out that Shang Boyu understands this principle.
Meng Sheng met his gentle and concerned eyes and suddenly felt extremely ironic.
She retracted her gaze and responded softly, "It's just a coincidence. Isn't it you and Ning Weiwei?"
Shang Boyu paused, then smiled helplessly, "Are you still jealous? I'll stay away from her from now on, even further away, okay?"
Meng Sheng snorted, "That's better. I'm tired, let's go home quickly."
The night scene outside the car window was colorful and beams of light leaped into her calm and cold eyes, but did not stir up the slightest ripple.

Meng Sheng's injury wasn't very serious. After resting at home for two days, it didn't hurt as much to walk anymore, so he prepared to go to the art museum.
But Shang Boyu disagreed and insisted that she rest at home for another two days before allowing her to go out.
On the day we went to the art museum, Beijing welcomed its first snowfall since the beginning of winter, with snowflakes fluttering and falling all over the sky.
Meng Sheng stood in the courtyard for a while before getting into the car.
When they arrived at the art museum, Qiao Na came up to them and said, "Director, more than ten minutes ago, a Mr. Nie brought this over and said he wanted to pass it on to you."
Meng Sheng paused, his face bewildered, and opened the bag, revealing a small jar of something.
It's a scar removal cream.
Nie?
If she remembered correctly, Pei Sui's assistant's surname was Nie.
Could it be that...
Before she had time to think about it, a text message alert sounded from her phone.
