Chapter 116 A moment of warmth

Upon hearing Shen Feiwan's suggestion, Bo Junxing's face flashed with surprise, and he didn't even have time to hide it. "Why do you suddenly want to cook for yourself?"

Shen Feiwan's lips curled into a smile. "Just a whim. What, are you afraid my cooking is bad? That I'll make something that will kill you?"

Bo Junxing chuckled, and after a moment said, "It doesn't matter if your cooking skills are really bad, I can cook."

"Tch," Shen Feiwan feigned anger, rolling her eyes at him, "Who do you think you are!"

The car quickly drove away from the airport, heading straight for the supermarket near the Bo Junxing Grand Flat.

This was Bo Junxing's first time shopping in a supermarket in China since returning from studying abroad. A dazzling array of goods came into view, and the bustling crowd was filled with lively conversations.

Most subtly, Shen Feiwan was by his side.

He only needed to tilt his head slightly to see Shen Feiwan carefully selecting ingredients.

For some reason, looking at her profile, a strange yet warm feeling quietly grew in his heart.

He was so engrossed in watching it that he became a little lost in thought.

So much so that he didn't hear Shen Feiwan call his name until the second time.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"I said, time is a bit tight right now, so I can only cook some simple home-style dishes. Do you mind?"

"Of course not, I'm not picky."

"That's good, but we need to hurry." With that, Shen Feiwan handed the shopping cart to Bo Junxing. "Keep up with me, or you'll get lost."

"Ah."

The two strolled through the supermarket, just like any other ordinary couple or lovers in the supermarket.

They bought fresh beef, eggs, and vegetables.

After selecting the ingredients, the two went to the condiment section.

Along the way, Shen Feiwan acted like a housewife, making decisions and picking out items, while Bo Junxing silently followed behind her, occasionally helping her retrieve items that were out of her reach.

As he was about to leave, Bo Junxing caught a glimpse of soy sauce on the shelf, reached out and grabbed a bottle, putting it into his shopping cart.

Upon seeing this, Shen Feiwan couldn't help but sigh, "Oh dear, I actually forgot about this. You're quite thoughtful. It seems you're not some overgrown child who can't distinguish between grains."

As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and gently patted Bo Junxing's head, as if praising a child.

Bo Junxing was suddenly stunned when she touched him.

The tingling sensation stretched from the spot on my head where she had touched me to my heart.

Looking at Shen Feiwan's smiling face, a thought suddenly exploded in his mind: If they moved out, they could go to the supermarket together every day and cook together. Such a life seemed pretty good.

However, this idea was short-lived.

He's busy and doesn't have much time to waste on these everyday trifles.

Just as they were about to head to the fruit section, Bo Junxing's phone suddenly rang.

I took out my phone and saw that it was a call from Mr. Bo.

Shen Feiwan was standing right next to him and could clearly hear the old man's voice across from her.

"The driver said you came back from out of town today. Why aren't you going home?"

"Yes, we're back," Bo Junxing said calmly, "but we're planning to eat out."

"Okay, then come back as soon as you finish eating."

At this moment, Shen Feiwan lightly touched Bo Junxing's arm and shook her head at him.

Bo Junxing understood and said to the old man on the other end of the phone, "Dad, there are some urgent matters to deal with at the company tomorrow, so we won't be going back tonight."

The old man didn't say anything more, and the call ended there.

Putting away his phone, Bo Junxing looked at Shen Feiwan and asked softly, "Don't you want to go back?"

"There's something I want to tell you."

Bo Junxing had just started speaking when Shen Feiwan opened her mouth at the same time.

Bo Junxing stopped first. "You go first."

Shen Feiwan continued, "There's a reason I don't want to go back tonight. I'm worried that Grandpa won't agree to call the police directly regarding Xu Ruoqing. If he finds out I called the police to arrest his eldest daughter-in-law and discovered that I lied to him about being pregnant, he'll definitely be furious. I'm just a daughter-in-law in the Bo family who can be replaced at any time, but you're different. You're his biological son. Going against Grandpa will definitely put you under a lot of pressure. So let's not go back tonight. You should think it over carefully. You really don't need to come with me to the police station."

“What do I have to consider?” Bo Junxing frowned slightly, his expression serious. “Someone has been murdered. This is a criminal case. No matter how much the old man has the final say in the Bo family, he can’t be confused on such a matter of principle. Let him be angry if he wants to. If he covers it up and it gets out, the consequences will only be more serious.”

"Hmm...that makes sense." Shen Feiwan's lips curled up slightly, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing. "But what is this? A belated rebellious phase? Back then, when Grandpa wanted you to marry me, a wife from a different social class, you didn't say anything."

"That's different."

Shen Feiwan nodded gently, "Okay, thank you again for not standing against me. However, I don't need you to accompany me if I call the police. If the old man asks, I'll just say you didn't know anything about it."

"No need, there's no need to fake it."

"Listen to me, or I won't cook for you."

"..." Bo Junxing chuckled, then nodded after a moment.

Shen Feiwan continued, "Then let's not talk about these heavy topics. Let's hurry up and buy the fruit so we can go home and cook, otherwise we won't be able to eat until midnight."

The two carried their bags back to their lodgings.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Shen Feiwan quickly tied on an apron and skillfully took out and arranged the ingredients one by one.

Bo Junxing also helped out. He initially thought that Shen Feiwan was just having a whim and that her cooking skills might not be that great, but he was impressed by how efficiently she washed and chopped the vegetables.

While Shen Feiwan was cooking, Bo Junxing was also busy, helping out by handing over seasonings and plates.

Soon, an enticing aroma filled the kitchen.

Bo Junxing also cooked a dish: stewed beef.

He stared intently at the casserole, stirring it occasionally. His serious expression made Shen Feiwan take a few more glances at him.

He's handsome. Even when he's cooking in the kitchen wearing an apron, he still looks handsome.

What's even better is his cooking.

The moment the beef was taken out of the pot, its aroma filled the air. Shen Feiwan took a bite, and her eyes lit up instantly. "I didn't expect your stewed beef to be so delicious! You're such a good cook!"

Bo Junxing wiped his hands. "When I was studying abroad, I couldn't get used to the food outside, so I learned to cook it myself, and gradually I became proficient."

While listening to him, Shen Feiwan kept asking other questions, never stopping her conversation.

Looking at Shen Feiwan, who was busy yet smiling, Bo Junxing suddenly felt that she was different from before.

In the past, there always seemed to be a barrier between them, but now she seems to be starting to take an interest in her own affairs.

Shen Feiwan didn't think too much about it. She just felt that she and Bo Junxing had at least had a pretty good fling, and now that they were about to part ways, they could have a good talk while they could, which would be a relatively satisfactory ending to the relationship.
