Chapter 109 - Congratulations

Shen Fanxing sat up.

She breathed deeply, feeling…

She reckoned that she wouldn't recover from this illness quickly.

"Sorry for occupying your bed."

"Don't be sorry. It'll be yours sooner or later."

She was speechless…

Bo Jinchuan stood up, his head feeling heavy.

His lips curled upward.

This illness allowed him to achieve whatever he wanted.

"Come on, let's go down for lunch."

"Okay."

They didn't have much appetite for lunch.

Aunt Zhang was despondent.

"Why did the two of you fall sick one after the other?"

"Both of you don't have big appetites to begin with, but now… the sight of the both of you eating makes the farmers who grow these crops anxious."

Aunt Zhang's former comment left Shen Fanxing embarrassed.

Bo Jinchuan's eyes reflected a warm smile as he admired the woman calmly.

How could Shen Fanxing miss Bo Jinchuan's gaze? She gave him a nonchalant look.

"Cough…"

At the same time, Bo Jinchuan coughed softly, his eyebrows furrowing slightly as his hand went to his lips.

"Master, are you alright?"

Aunt Zhang scrambled towards him and poured a cup of water.

Bo Jinchuan raised a hand to stop Aunt Zhang.

"You weren't coughing this morning."

Shen Fanxing asked with a frown. Why was his illness getting worse?

Not long after she finished asking, Shen Fanxing felt an itch in her throat.

"Cough…"

Upon hearing her cough, Aunt Zhang looked up, her eyes swirling with a plethora of emotions.

"Ms Shen, are you… alright?"

Aunt Zhang showed the same concern for Shen Fanxing and promptly poured a cup of water for her. Aunt Zhang studied her doubtfully.

"I'm fine…"

At that moment, Bo Jinchuan smirked and said calmly,

"That's why illnesses develop slowly."

Shen Fanxing stood up and said, "I'm full."

Bo Jinchuan stood up as well and when Shen Fanxing passed by him, he gripped her hand.

"Let's go out for a walk."

Shen Fanxing turned to glance at the surprised Aunt Zhang. She wanted to retract her hand, but Bo Jinchuan held her tightly. Then he pulled her along and led her out.

At the entrance, Bo Jinchuan took off his jacket and put it on her shoulders.

Shen Fanxing was feeling conflicted, but it wasn't because of the jacket.

It was the so-called stroll that night that she couldn't forget.

Somehow, the definition of a walk had changed when it was with Bo Jinchuan.

—

No wonder Aunt Zhang had been so surprised by their sudden illness.

The two had just left the house.

Bright sunlight shone on them, warming them up instantly.

The weather was surprisingly good.

Bo Jinchuan didn't let go of her hand.

Shen Fanxing decided to let him be as she knew she couldn't fight this domineering man.

She was tired of doing pointless stuff that drained her energy.

The sun was shining and the scenery was beautiful.

This was a luxury that no one in Ping Cheng City could enjoy.

She lamented quietly to herself.

She gave a faint sigh and relaxed her body.

"Congratulations."

Shen Fanxing said all of a sudden, surprising Bo Jinchuan.

She smiled as she admired the beautiful scenery which resembled paradise.

"You're going to take over officially as the global CEO tomorrow, right?"

She turned her head to look at him and said, "You're officially taking over the corporation as CEO. Of course I have to congratulate you on your new position."

Surprise flashed across Bo Jinchuan's eyes before they lit up with interest.

"How do you know?"

He had never told her about this.
