After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Shen Boyan puzzled Qiao Xing, "What's wrong with you?"

For some reason, Shen Boyan looked very strange in Qiao Xing's eyes at this moment.

She knew that Shen Boyan must have something to ask him, or he definitely didn't just bring her here for the sake of simplicity.

But no matter how Qiao Xing asked, Shen Boyan didn't say a word.

He pointed at the things he brought and said, "Eat a little bit. Don't starve yourself. When you're full, take a nap and don't think about anything."

After that, he stood up and left.

This time he locked the door when he left.

Qiao Xing wanted to call Qin Ce, but after searching around, he remembered that his phone had just been borrowed by Shen Boyan.

Qiao Xing opened the window and looked outside. The room was on the second floor, and it was unrealistic for her to jump down in her current condition.

Qiao Xing walked back and forth in the room several times, but couldn't find a good way to get out.

She could only sit on the edge of the bed in frustration.

I don’t know what Shen Boyan is going to do or why he wants to lock her up here.

Did he want to threaten Qin Ce through her?

Qiao Xing changed his mind and felt that Shen Boyan was not someone who could do such a thing.

But she couldn't think of any other reason besides this.

Shen Boyan waited for more than an hour, during which time he called Qin Ce.

They said the expert team is on the way to the hospital.

Shen Boyan didn't believe Qin Ce's words. To be on the safe side, he called Shen Zhongting who was in the hospital.

Shen Boyan was relieved when he learned from Shen Zhongting that medical experts would come to treat Shen Congyao.

But less than an hour after he hung up the phone, Shen Zhongting suddenly called him.

"Bo Yan, Dad is gone..."

Shen Boyan froze, "What did you say?"

In fact, when Shen Boyan called him, Shen Congyao had already been sent to the emergency room.

At that time, Shen Zhongting did receive a call from the so-called medical team.

He thought it was Shen Boyan who contacted him, and thought that maybe Shen Congyao still had a glimmer of hope.

But God is so cruel. Not long after he hung up the phone, the doctor came out and announced the bad news to him.

Shen Zhongting always thought that Shen Boyan was busy contacting a better medical team for Shen Congyan.

I don't know where he is or what he is doing at the moment.

Shen Zhongting's voice was choked with sobs as he said, "Come back first, and we will take care of Dad's funeral together."

Shen Boyan held the phone tightly, his joints turning white from exerting too much force. He moved his lips slightly and said with difficulty, "Brother, I can't go back..."

"Bo Yan..."

Before Shen Zhong could finish his words, Shen Boyan hung up the phone.

The phone in his hand fell to the floor the moment he hung up the call.

Shen Boyan's eyes were empty and his heart was numb, as if he felt nothing.

It was very strange. He had just lost his father, but he didn't feel sad at all.

Has he really become so cold-blooded?

The dropped phone vibrated again.

Shen Boyan slowly looked at his phone, and the number displayed on the screen was a number that he was very familiar with.

He turned a blind eye to it, but got up and went to the kitchen and found a sharp fruit knife.

The blade of the fruit knife was extremely sharp, and Shen Boyan could even see a faint whitish cold light from the blade.

What is he going to do with this knife?

Shen Boyan couldn't help but ask himself.

While Qiao Xing was still in the room thinking about how to get out, the door suddenly opened.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, Qiao Xing was startled for no apparent reason.

She felt relieved only when she saw it was Shen Boyan.

Qiao Xing noticed that Shen Boyan looked very unhappy, as if he had encountered something particularly bad.

She whispered, "You..."

As soon as Qiao Xing said a word, Shen Boyan said to her, "Come down and sit with me for a while."

Qiao Xing was stunned.

She didn't know whether she should go with Shen Boyan.

Her intuition told her that the person in front of her was no longer the Shen Boyan she knew, and he was very dangerous at the moment.

Shen Boyan smiled and said, "Why don't you believe me?"

"No."

Qiao Xing felt that her thinking was a bit too narrow-minded. After all, Shen Boyan had done nothing for her so far.

And she has always believed in Shen Boyan.

Qiao Xing didn't hesitate, "Let's go."

The two came to the living room downstairs.

When he came here earlier, Shen Boyan took him directly to the room without saying a word, so Qiao Xing didn't have time to ask.

"I remember your family doesn't live here, this is..."

Shen Boyan said, "This is the house my brother bought for me, but I don't like it, so I don't live in it."

Qiao Xing asked doubtfully, "Isn't this place nice? Why don't you like it?"

Shen Boyan seemed to be amused by her words. He looked at Qiao Xing and said, "Qiao Xing, why are you always so naive?"

"Ah?" Qiao Xing was a little slow to react, but she was telling the truth.

Shen Boyan smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two seemed to have returned to what it was before, Qiao Xing asked tentatively, "You look so bad, did something happen to you? Is it about your father?"

When Shen Congyao was mentioned, a trace of sadness flashed across Shen Boyan's eyes.

But it was only fleeting.

He said, "No."

Qiao Xing said, "You like to keep everything to yourself. Last time, Sheng Yao told me that your father was in a bad condition. I wanted to go see him, but I had too many things to do these two days, so I didn't have time. How is your father doing?"

Shen Boyan picked up the apple from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, took the sharp fruit knife in his other hand, and slowly peeled the fruit.

He watched the fruit knife turning circles on the apple, and only spoke to Qiao Xing after the entire apple was peeled.

"he's gone."

Qiao Xing was stunned, "What?"

She didn't react. What did Shen Boyan mean by "left"?

Shen Boyan said, "He died half an hour ago."

Qiao Xing was petrified and at a loss.

Shen Boyan looked at her expression and sneered, "Are you curious why I am still sitting here so calmly even though my father has passed away?"

Qiao Xing was not thinking about him. The first thing she wanted to do was to comfort Shen Boyan.

But the words came to his lips and he couldn't say them. He felt that no matter what kind of comfort he offered, it seemed pale and powerless at this moment, because the person was already gone. What was the point of saying those words?

Shen Boyan held the peeled apple but did not put it down. Instead, he continued to peel it with a knife.

As he was whittling, he asked Qiao Xing, "Do you think there is real fairness in this world?"
