Chapter 1168

Bo Jinchuan tightened his grip on her. “It can’t be Qi Mohan, right?”

Shen Fanxing stopped teasing the alpaca and allowed it to take the branch away. She turned to look at him slowly.

“Ah Chuan, I might have to tell you more about Qi Mohan. He’s not an insignificant existence to me. You can also say that… he has a different meaning to me than other men. I can’t compare him to other men… but I know very well that you’re the only person in this world who’s my husband. No one else can, including Qi Mohan.”

Shen Fanxing’s face was solemn and Bo Jinchuan lowered his gaze to her.

“I know he means something to you.”

That was why he couldn’t compare Qi Mohan to others. He even felt uneasy.

Recently, the Bo family had been in chaos. Second Uncle was obviously preparing to use Yuan Sichun as the starting point.

Initially, he could let go of Yuan Sichun if Fanxing wanted to play with her. In fact, that was the case in the past.

She was so smart. If the two of them had to fight, Fanxing wouldn’t let herself be at a disadvantage.

But this time in the western suburbs, something had been manipulated and the direction of the matter had changed.

Yuan Sichun’s appearance in the western suburbs seemed like an unexpected encounter, but she was actually there for a reason.

Second Uncle seemed to be unable to hold back and no longer tried to hide himself.

Strictly speaking, this incident in the western suburbs was only an outbreak. Perhaps since he acquired the Xia Corporation, the fish that had been lurking at the bottom of the lake had finally moved. There were also ripples on the calm lake.

He had never worried that this day would come, but he didn’t expect Second Uncle to target Yuan Sichun and Fanxing.

‘Why?’

If he wanted to matchmake Yuan Sichun with him, wouldn’t it be worse for Second Uncle if he cooperated with the Yuan family?

His eyes darkened as he looked at the woman in his arms.

In the end, he still pulled her into the Bo family.

Therefore, he couldn’t help but care about Qi Mohan, who meant a lot to her.

Faced with Bo Jinchuan’s silence, Shen Fanxing buried her face in his embrace.

“Ah Chuan, what’s so good about me? Why do you love me so much?”

Bo Jinchuan tightened his grip on her. “Everything is good.”

“I think so too.”

“Yes?”

“I think you’re good in every way too.” The second half of her sentence was, “That’s why I love you so much.”

Bo Jinchuan smiled and Shen Fanxing continued, “Don’t restrain yourself because of me. I won’t drag you down.”

Although everyone had moved out of the Bo residence, Lou Ruoyi calmed down and came to Grand View Manor.

She puffed her cheeks as she discussed the arrangements for Shen Fanxing’s engagement.

“Although I’m very angry and can’t wait to never return, the truth is that I have to return to the Bo residence before the engagement. Otherwise, I’ll become a joke to outsiders.”

Despite her reluctance, Shen Fanxing smiled and nodded. “I know. But Mother, does Father know about your decision?”

“Why should I let him know? This is between us women.”

Lou Ruoyi was still a little angry, but she didn’t look too angry.

Lou Ruoyi discussed the other details of the engagement with Shen Fanxing, so she stayed for lunch.

“I’ll go to the kitchen to see what ingredients are there. I wonder what I can make today.”

Shen Fanxing stood up as she spoke.

Lou Ruoyi’s eyes lit up and she stood up. “I’ll go take a look too.”

Hence, the two of them walked towards the kitchen. Along the way, Ruoyi said excitedly,

“Fanxing, have you never eaten my cooking? Let me tell you, your father loved me so much back then because of my culinary skills.”

Shen Fanxing smiled in surprise and said, “Really? If you’re free today, teach me a few dishes.”

In the past two days, she had been extremely bored. Other than arranging flowers and watching television, she had been playing with the ball-shaped alpaca.

With servants around, she had no use for anything else.

Lou Ruoyi agreed to Shen Fanxing’s suggestion without hesitation.

“Sure! Let me tell you, cooking is very important to women. As the saying goes, if you want to obtain a man’s heart, you have to obtain his stomach first…”

Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “Ah Chuan’s heart is with me.”

Lou Ruoyi squinted at her with a smile. “Look at how smug you are!”

“However, watching your man eat something he made himself must feel different.”

Shen Fanxing nodded in agreement.

Come to think of it, ever since she got together with Bo Jinchuan, she had rarely cooked for him.

She still remembered the first time they met. The first time he came to eat hotpot with her. She still remembered how he ate slowly.

At that time, she even suspected that with his noble and elegant appearance, he shouldn’t have eaten these ordinary things.

That was why she remembered every bite he took.

Even though she had tried her best to remain calm back then, she knew very well that she was just a mortal. Facing such a genius, she could remain calm.

Walking into the kitchen, Shen Fanxing looked at the ingredients on the table and heard Lou Ruoyi say,

“Back then, when your father proposed to me, he said that he would never forget the taste of every dish I cooked for him. Look at how important a woman’s culinary skills are. For example, I got a blissful marriage.”

The busy servants in the kitchen laughed silently at Lou Ruoyi’s words.

This lady had been interesting since she was young. He didn’t expect her to remain the same after so many years.

“Which dish do you like the most? Can you teach me?”

Lou Ruoyi enjoyed the admiration and anticipation in Shen Fanxing’s eyes. She nodded and said, “The dishes I cook are all his favorite! This is the smell of his mother! Come, I’ll show you today.”

As she spoke, she took out an apron from somewhere and put it around her neck.

Shen Fanxing blinked before putting on the apron for her.

The few of them busied themselves in the kitchen.

Bo Sichen and Bo Jinchuan had been discussing in the study upstairs. They had made guesses about Bo Yuelin’s intention to build a relationship with the Yuan family.

“Although your second uncle didn’t show his attitude previously, he didn’t do anything about your relationship with the girl from the Yuan family. Now that he suddenly took the initiative to matchmake you, it’s definitely not just because he’s concerned about your relationship. He’s even thinking about the future of the Bo family. You have to be careful. From the moment you bought the Xia Group’s hardware, the Bo family might not be obedient for a long time.”

Bo Jinchuan pursed his lips and said, “No matter how he tries to matchmake me, I don’t have any relationship with Yuan Sichun. Even if I don’t have Fanxing…”

Pausing, Bo Jinchuan suddenly frowned and his face darkened.

Bo Sichen looked at him with a calm expression.

“If it wasn’t for Fanxing, perhaps he wouldn’t have done that?”
