Being overbearing and jealous might really be contagious.

Bo Jinchuan was standing at the top of the stairs, staring at her with his dark orbs.

Seeing her look over, his eyes shifted slightly and landed lightly on the Malatang in her hand.

Shen Fanxing suddenly felt her hand heating up.

But now was not the time to consider this. How could he appear so openly now?

She quickly gave him a look, hinting for him to hide.

However, the man was indifferent. He stared stubbornly at the Malatang in her hand, feeling that he was going against it.

Seeing Shen Fanxing’s expression, Ji Fengmian narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the staircase.

After that, she frowned. The staircase was empty.

She looked at Shen Fanxing and saw that she had just heaved a sigh of relief.

Sensing Ji Fengmian’s gaze, Shen Fanxing’s heart skipped a beat and she looked uneasy.

Her mother was too shrewd. She felt that if this continued, her mother would discover something sooner or later.

Perhaps she had already sensed something.

“Fanxing has been staying at home recently. Your son can’t be here. Also, before you settle that stubborn old man of yours, please don’t appear in front of my daughter. Of course, that includes your son…”

Lou Ruoyi was a little upset when she heard that. Her attention finally shifted away from Chu Yi.

“In-law, don’t be so heartless! Fanxing and Jinchuan are in love. You’re breaking them up!”

Ji Fengmian’s voice was calm as he said, “She can’t compare to your old master. Moreover, we’re not in-laws. Actually, I can understand your concept of family status, so we won’t force you. My daughter is so outstanding, there’s no need to worry about not finding someone who treats her well. For example, she and Young Master Chu have been childhood sweethearts. Their relationship is stable and they know each other well. Now that they’re living together, their relationship is also increasing… If you don’t believe me, take a look. Fanxing is compatible with him.”

Lou Ruoyi looked at Chu Yi and Shen Fanxing. This was really…

The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.

She couldn’t help but nod and mutter,

“It’s indeed quite eye-catching…”

Shen Fanxing was speechless.

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Chu Yi’s usually expressionless face.

He reached out and placed his arm on Shen Fanxing’s shoulder, pulling her into his embrace.

“Aunt Ji, don’t worry. I’ll treat Fanxing well.”

Shen Fanxing couldn’t help but frown. Chu Yi lowered his head and took the Malatang from her gently.

“Hurry up and eat. It’ll get cold soon.”

When Lou Ruoyi saw the two of them standing intimately together, she panicked. She stomped her feet and pointed at Chu Yi, wishing she could break them apart.

“Let go of her… Although you’re handsome, Fanxing is my daughter-in-law now!”

She didn’t even forget to praise Chu Yi for being handsome. Mom, you won’t have a good time at home, do you know that?

However, Shen Fanxing didn’t even have the time to feel helpless. A familiar scent wafted over and pulled her into her embrace.

Shen Fanxing was shocked a moment ago, but now, she knew that she was doomed.

The entire living room fell silent.

All eyes were on the man who had suddenly appeared.

Ji Fengmian frowned as he watched the man snatch Fanxing from Chu Yi’s arms. A glint flashed across his eyes.

Bo Jinchuan stared at Chu Yi coldly, the hostility in his eyes obvious.

Chu Yi wasn’t any better. He had watched as the man rushed down the stairs. He instantly guessed something. His face darkened as he met Bo Jinchuan’s gaze.

The two of them seemed to be fighting in midair.

Lou Ruoyi looked at her son in confusion. She couldn’t help but blink. “Son, where… did you come from?”

Xu Qingzhi hid at the staircase and stared at the ceiling speechlessly.

Auntie Ji had deliberately provoked him just now. She didn’t believe that he, the CEO of the Bo Consortium, wouldn’t think of this possibility.

But he still took the bait obediently. Did he have to be so insensitive?

Shen Fanxing was at a loss. She had already gone into hiding…

Why did he suddenly appear at this time?!

The living room fell silent for a while before everyone regained their senses. Ji Fengmian looked at Shen Fanxing and said coldly,

“Why is he at home?”

She remembered that she had instructed the bodyguards outside not to let anyone in.

Shen Fanxing found it difficult to speak. “He…”

After hesitating for a long time, she didn’t say anything. Ji Fengmian stared at her for a while and suddenly said,

“Qingzhi!”

Xu Qingzhi, who was hiding at the staircase, trembled and wanted to cry.

Bo Jinchuan was such a jealous man. It was one thing for him to rush out regardless of the consequences, but now he had implicated her to be reprimanded by Aunt Ji. God knew how strict Aunt Ji was when she reprimanded others.

Xu Qingzhi’s figure slowly appeared at the top of the stairs as she walked downstairs aggrievedly.

“Aunt Ji…”

She stood two meters away from Ji Fengmian hesitantly with her head lowered. She looked like a child who had done something wrong.

“Did you bring her in?” Ji Fengmian asked in a low voice.

Xu Qingzhi looked up at Shen Fanxing and pouted before glaring at Bo Jinchuan.

“Aunt Ji, actually… I was forced.”

Ji Fengmian’s face darkened. “When did you arrive?”

Xu Qingzhi stole a glance at Shen Fanxing and answered truthfully, “She came with me that night…”

Ji Fengmian looked at Shen Fanxing and asked, “So, where has he been these few days?”

Shen Fanxing averted her gaze, not meeting Ji Fengmian’s eyes.

However, Ji Fengmian could easily tell from her expression. He sneered softly.

“You’ve been hiding in a woman’s room for so many days?”

His tone sounded as though Shen Fanxing had a gigolo.

Even Lou Ruoyi felt her face burning.

Jing Chuan had been missing for so many days. If he wanted to find Fanxing, so be it. Why was he so secretive? It seemed like he had been in Fanxing’s room for a while and the rest of the family didn’t know.

This was no different from… keeping a gigolo!

Given her son’s temper…
