Chapter 56 (2)

Bo Yuxu admitted he did want one. Just imagining it felt good.

But...

He pursed his lips and crossed his arms. "No need."

Since the child had rejected so clearly, Butler Wang couldn't insist, especially since the parent was starting to yawn impatiently.

He had no choice but to leave first and wait for another opportunity.

Bo Xin watched the car drive away in a puff. She had wanted to see more interesting scenes.

But it seemed that was over now.

She yawned not out of boredom, but because she had slept poorly last night and had been busy with the suit all morning.

Bo Xin stretched her shoulders and neck, letting out a comfortable sigh.

"Sure you don't want to go? That family seems to really look forward to you."

Bo Yuxu shook his head calmly. "Looking forward is one thing, causing trouble is another."

Bo Xin walked ahead, agreeing with her child's view. Other kids would be fine, even one with psychological issues. But the key was that this child had a troublesome father.

Parental relationships were also a factor in whether friendships could last.

Ji Yanyi had a different opinion. "But Wen Qiaozhe and I get along fine."

Although their fathers had a bad relationship, the two of them had formed an alliance because they both hated their dads.

Ji Yanyi put his hands on his hips and added something he was really annoyed about. "If we don't go, won't it look like we're guilty?"

Bo Yuxu was speechless. He forcefully put his arm around Yanyi's shoulder, speaking through gritted teeth like a threat or a complaint.

"Not everything has to be about winning or losing, right or wrong."

Ji Yanyi didn't understand, but he felt his younger brother really didn't like what he said.

There was nothing to be done.

But this gesture was too much like how Dad hooked arms with someone.

Sometimes his dad even wanted to do that to him, but because of the height difference, he could only grab his shoulder and pull him close.

Ji Yanyi pointed at the hand on his shoulder and smiled at the other person.

Bo Yuxu immediately let go, as if shocked. Well, blame genetics—he was gradually picking up Ji Xingzhi's bad habits.

But Tao Lehua? Bo Yuxu pursed his lips, thinking he wasn't that annoying.

What Yanyi said wasn't unreasonable.

It was just that this person, compared to Wen Qiaozhe, seemed to lack autonomy.

Because of his illness, his whole life seemed to be controlled by his father.

He felt conflicted and instinctively looked at his mother.

Bo Xin shook her head. "Let me go somewhere first, then we'll talk."

She would rest briefly at home, then go somewhere. After seeing the situation, she would decide.

After resting at noon, it was already three or four in the afternoon. But going out at this time meant she wouldn't be in the sun, and the other party would also be free closer to evening.

In the afternoon, she was going to the Wen family to check on Wen Jinyi.

The weather was getting hotter, so dressings needed changing frequently. Simple treatments could be handled by other doctors, but the key checkup had to be her.

Bo Xin arrived and lifted Wen Jinyi's blanket. Every time she did this, Wen Jinyi got nervous.

"Can you not be so..." Wen Jinyi searched for a word, "...so sudden?"

Bo Xin found it amusing. "It's not like I'm lifting the top blanket."

Wen Jinyi was speechless, ears turning red.

Wrong. Lifting the bottom blanket made people feel even less secure.

But with Bo Xin, it was normal for her to do something beyond expectations. Wen Jinyi was already used to it.

"Um... can you walk normally now?"

Bo Xin glanced again. "Do you still need to ask me? I thought you already knew the answer."

Wen Jinyi had indeed walked a bit with crutches, without relying on anyone. But could that be seen from the wound?

Many previous doctors hadn't noticed.

But Bo Xin didn't just look at the wound; she also looked at the person.

Wen Jinyi must have been impatient.

Wen Jinyi immediately lowered his head, feeling very guilty. "I just tried a little."

Bo Xin smiled. "It's fine. You're also feeling more and more the force, right? Actually, that's good for rehab."

Then why did she scare him?

Wen Jinyi's eyes widened, gaining a new understanding of Bo Xin's mischievous side.

But the weather was getting hotter, meaning school was about to end. He would have to lie in bed bored for so long again.

He hadn't even seen the flowers outside.

Wen Jinyi pursed his lips. Looking outside, he seemed to remember something.

"There seem to be guests at home today."

This was actually strange, because few people came to the Wen residence directly.

The Wen family didn't receive business visits at the villa; it was always private gatherings. So when people walked by, they had a very close demeanor.

But this time, Wen Jinyi saw that the distance between the two people was the standard business distance of forty-five centimeters.

The other person was a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes.

Bo Xin pointed at herself. "They came to see me. It seems they have something important they want to discuss with me directly."
