But he seemed to faintly hear his mommy's name.Shen Anhe's eyes rolled, and he secretly leaned closer.Guan Xin Yue was facing away from this direction and did not notice anyone approaching.After you s...Guan Xinyue originally wanted to see a look of disappointment on Shen Ningran's face, but there was none.

Shen Ningran's expression was as impassive as a wall, seemingly wearing an unbreakable mask. It was impossible to guess her true emotions behind that facade.

Guanxiyue ultimately couldn't see what she wanted to, and was scolded a few times by Shen Ningran. She had no choice but to lower her flags and disengage, turning around and leaving.

After all, she's lacking confidence now and doesn't dare to make a big fuss about it and tell Bo Jin Yu. Otherwise, she'll only be hated even more.

Guan Xin Yue let Zhuang Yu Mei push her away, just as she turned around, her eyes met with a man full of cold air.

The man's expression was ambiguous, a smirk playing on his lips with a hint of mischief. Just one glance sent shivers down Guan Xin Yue's spine, making her instantly wary.

It's him again!

It's him again!

Guan Xinyue didn't know how much suffering she had endured in his hands.

She trembled slightly all over.

"Mom! Mom! Mom! Run, run quickly!" Guan Xin Yue didn't dare to stay for even a moment, she completely fled in panic.

One Shen Ningran is crazy, this man is even crazier!

She was terrified that she would be dragged down and beaten the next second.

Seeing that Guan Xin Yue was so scared, Zhuang Yu Mei didn't ask the reason and immediately pushed her away.

Ye Ci pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze, her eyes slowly falling on Shen Ningran. The fierceness in her eyes had subsided somewhat.

"How come you have time to come over"

"Passing by."

Ye Ci walked into the ward slowly with Shen Ningran, glanced at Bo Yucheng on the bed, and said lightly, "He looks much better."

Bo Yuchen looked at Ye Ci and politely greeted him, "Uncle Ye."

"Hmm."

"Sit down." Shen Ningran walked over and poured a glass of water for Ye Ci. Just as she handed it over, someone barged in through the door directly, so fast that even the bodyguard couldn't stop him.

Shen Ningran frowned, following the gaze. She saw a man in a gray tracksuit, wearing a baseball cap, a mask, and sunglasses, covering his entire face tightly.

This outfit......

Shen Ningran immediately knew who it was.

The bodyguard was about to drag him out, but Shen Ningran raised her hand. "No need, he's my friend."

The bodyguard then stopped.

Ji Qi'an took off the mask from his face, took a few breaths, walked to Shen Ningran's side, and looked at the water cup in her hand. "Just in time, I'm thirsty, thank you."

Shen Ningran pulled the corner of her lips, however, Ye Ci's pair of obsidian eyes had already lifted, their gaze falling on Ji Qi'an's face. A coldness rose in the depths of his eyes, devoid of any warmth.

"There she is! Give her to me! Water!"

One word at a time, gritting his teeth.

Ji Qi'an finished his water and glanced at Ye Ci sitting on the sofa. Seeing Ye Ci's sinister gaze, he felt a chill in his heart...

Ji Qi'an raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Ningran, "Who is this"

Shen Ningran quickly poured another glass of water for the old man on the sofa, "Drink this one too."

Ye Ci placed the cup on the table with a soft "dong" sound, her gaze fixed deeply on Ji Qi'an.

Shen Ningran knew this guy was angry and was afraid he would overturn the table.

He immediately walked over and picked up the water jug, carefully placing it in front of Ye Ci.

Ye Ci stood up and, taking Shen Ningran's hand, coldly answered Ji Qi'an's question, "I'm her boyfriend."

Shen Ning raised her head in shock. What was this guy playing at

"It's not you, it's me..."

"Don't speak." Ye Ci glared at Shen Ningran.

Ji Qi'an raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the two of them, a faint smile flickering across his face, "That's interesting, my ex-girlfriend."

A strange awkward atmosphere spread around.

"Oh, it's just an ex-boyfriend." Ye Ci raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, seemingly unconcerned, but her eyes were filled with coldness.

"Exes can become boyfriends again, right"

As night fell, he turned his head and glanced at the woman beside him, a smirk playing on his lips. "Don't worry, you won't have that chance."

That's not necessarily so, is it Ruo-Ruo.

Ji Qi'an swept a glance at Shen Ningran with his pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. His handsome and compelling face slowly curved into a smile, his low voice laced with allure.

"Is that so" Ye Ci lowered her head, her eyes threatening, as if Shen Ningran dared to say yes, she would immediately pack her up and take her back to Y country.

Suddenly, I was caught in the gaze of two men at the same time.

Shen Ningran pursed her lips and shook her head. "You guys start fighting the first time you meet I'm impressed. You don't have a chance, you're not my boyfriend, thank you."

Ji Qi'an's eyes flashed with understanding. He didn't get discouraged by Shen Ningran's words, instead saying: "Why rush to refuse Perhaps you can agree without fully committing. That way, you have two backups at your disposal anytime, anywhere. Just in case you change your mind one day, you can turn around and see them, right"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ningran looked at Ji Qian'an with a strange expression.

To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen someone willingly become a backup option.

Shouldn't this be something that a normal man wouldn't accept Not to mention the heir of the prestigious Qi Group and a popular movie star who is adored by thousands.

Ye Ci raised an eyebrow, but said nothing, as if she had accepted what Qi Qian'an said.

Shen Ningran looked at the two of them.

Would these two people be willing to be backup options for "love"

Shen Ningran felt like she was so awesome, she was practically in heaven.

She felt that the two of them were nothing more than water grabbing from each other, one with anger, deliberately opening their mouth to provoke the other, thus sparking a topic.

"Alright, stop kidding around, I don't need a backup plan."

Ji Qi'an still went his own way, saying, "It's okay, you know me. I'm the kind of person who becomes stronger the more I'm challenged. You can refuse if you want."

Shen Ning raised her lips slightly, a hint of amusement in her eyes. Such courage, even in the face of defeat.

Ji Qi'an's temper hasn't changed at all from before.

……

Chang Yu-Mei pushed Guan Xin Yue quickly back to the ward, only then did she have time to ask, "What happened, Xin Yue What did you just see that made you so scared"

Guan Xin Yue was clearly frightened, even after returning to the ward, she kept looking back to see if the man was chasing her.

Zhuang Yumei reached out and held Guan Xin Yue's icy hand, "What's wrong, Xin Yue"

“Mom! That man, that man just now, he’s the one who kidnapped me. He and Shen Ningran are in cahoots.” Guan Xinyue's face was slightly pale, it was clear she had been psychologically scarred by the experience.

Whether it's her appearance or the aura surrounding her, Ye Ci is a presence that cannot be ignored. Zhuang Yu Mei naturally noticed this as well.

"You're saying the people who kidnapped you this time were also him"

Guan Xin Yue nodded forcefully, "It's him. He's been helping Shen Ning Ran all along. Mom, you go tell Dad quickly and ask Dad to find someone to get rid of this person. His existence is a huge threat to us."

Guan Xin Yue frantically said to Zhuang Yu Mei.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yumei frowned. “Xin Yue, your father said that man is someone we can’t afford to provoke. Your father warned us never to mess with him.”

“Why” Guan Xinyue didn’t understand.

That man, she had never heard of him in the Imperial City. He was just a bit ruthless, even the Guan family couldn't afford to provoke him. Could he possibly be some big shot

"I don't know either, just listen to your dad, that person is best left alone."

But he's always protecting Shen Ningran!

"What's there to worry about Once you marry Ajin, you'll be Mrs. Bo. No one can protect Shen Ningran." Zhuang Yu Mei advised Guan Xin Yue.

Guan Xinyue, however, could never truly settle her mind.

That man's eyes looked very dangerous, like a wild beast that could tear her to shreds at any moment.ou’re following me”"Well, all I remember now is that I came here to find you, to protect you. If I don't follow you, I have nowhere to go, so please, sister, take me in.""This...""Sister, would you mi...
