At the junction, there was a red light.
The car slowed down gradually and Shen Fanxing looked straight ahead. As the cars on the opposite ahead turned right, she gazed at the red light ahead.
Bo Jinchuan was also staring ahead, and his expression unreadable.
It took some time before Shen Fanxing’s clear voice rang in the car.
“Bo Jinchuan, right now… I can’t trust anyone unconditionally. You’re very good to me. But the better you are to me, the more afraid I’ll be…”
Bo Jinchuan narrowed his eyes and replied in a clear and cold voice, “What are you afraid of?”
Shen Fanxing averted her gaze and turned to look at the man’s good-looking face, which reflected aloofness.
“I’m afraid that I’ll love you more than anyone else. I’m afraid that no matter how strong I am, I won’t be able to accept the worst outcome… I can’t help but think about all of these. After all these years, it has always been like this… I’ve lost too much and I’m left with too little…”
Bo Jinchuan didn’t utter a word as the red light ahead started the 10-second countdown.
Bo Jinchuan waited until the traffic light had turned green before he started the car. He then drove ahead.
Something sparkled in Shen Fanxing’s eyes and she asked, “You… don’t have anything to say? You can criticize me, throw a tantrum or…”
“No,” Bo Jinchuan’s low voice interjected. “I understand your concerns. You can continue to feel that way. As for what I should do to make you trust me, that’s something I have to do.”
Bo Jinchuan turned to gaze at her, and the corners of his lips turned upwards. His beautiful eyes, gentle smile and deep, husky voice…
“You just have to be obedient and be my girlfriend.”
Shen Fanxing’s heart skipped a beat, feeling touched and guilty.
He was an intelligent man, so how could he not understand what her reservations and worries meant?
She pressed her lips tightly for a long time before nodding. Then, she reached for his hand and interlocked her fingers with his.
Bo Jinchuan, perhaps… She could make a bigger bet on him.
Stars International was a gift from Ji Fengmian on Shen Fanxing’s 18th birthday.
In those years that she was overseas, the company had faced several crises. It wasn’t easy for the company to survive till now and even gained some reputation.
Bo Jinchuan stopped outside of the building. His gaze swept across the ten-story building before him. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Is this your present from your mother when you turned 18?”
“Yeah. Of course, but compared to you, it’s really insignificant.”
“You think too much.” Bo Jinchuan squinted at the building before he said, “At Jinghang’s coming-of-age ceremony, my family only gave him a limited edition McLaren car.”
“Jinghang? Your younger brother? Maybe it’s just what he likes. What about you? What’s your coming-of-age present?”
Bo Jinchuan turned to look at her. The depths of his eyes were as calm as water, and seemingly separated by a distant fog.
Shen Fanxing looked at him expectantly, only to see his eyes widening as he uttered two words calmly.
Shen Fanxing froze, surprise written all over her face.
“So, do you still think it’s what I like?”
Shen Fanxing shook her head awkwardly and muttered, “I don’t think it is…”
To end this sensitive topic, Shen Fanxing hastily opened the car door and said, “I’ll get going. Be careful when you drive.”
Bo Jinchuan reminded her, “Don’t forget tonight…”
“I won’t forget. I’ll definitely bring Qingzhi along with me!”
Bo Jinchuan raised an eyebrow as a faint smile appeared on his face.
“Yes, I’ll definitely give her a good welcome!”
