She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 331 I'll Go Back with You

Qin Yanfeng, who had just hung up the phone, stood in the cold wind for a long time until Zuo Yi hurriedly got out of the car and told him that Mr. Li's assistant had called to invite him to his home the next day.

He finally snapped out of his reverie after the phone call. "Li Changshan?"

"Yes, Mr. Li means that if you're free tomorrow, he'd like to talk about the past." Just then, Zuo Yi received a boarding reminder on his phone. "Boss, shall we go back?"

He was the old friend whom the old man had asked Qin Yanfeng to urgently return to Hong Kong to help out that night.

This veteran businessman, who has long been engaged in trade abroad, was very satisfied with the cross-border acquisition handled by his old friend's junior, and the project that he had previously planned to renegotiate the details of the cooperation was completed very quickly, resolving both matters in one day.

Qin Yanfeng opened his chat history with Shen Manzhi, his thoughts wandering for a moment. His original plan to fly back to Huaicheng tonight was put on hold for a moment. "Let's go back to the hotel and arrange a time for tomorrow."

The reply came in just a few seconds, but Zuo Yi still noticed that the boss seemed a little down. He had overheard the conversation in the car, and wondered if they had been arguing.

After returning to China, Zuo Yi always followed Qin Yanfeng around, and naturally often saw the couple together. Given his boss's doting and gentle nature, how could he not have a way of winning over his boss's wife, who was known for her capricious and arrogant personality?

He couldn't understand how the two of them could have started arguing.
The car was driven back to the hotel. Just as Zuo Yi was about to turn into the parking lot, he suddenly remembered the company's celebration banquet not long ago.

Because this was a major project completed by the technical team that Qin Yanfeng had been leading since returning to China, it was a rare opportunity for him to participate in a team dinner.
The person on the left deliberately didn't drink any alcohol. Just before the party was about to end, he went out early to pay the bill and then went to the underground parking lot to drive his boss home.

As soon as I exited the basement and walked a few steps following the signs, I heard a lazy, soft woman's voice.

"Would you like to come back with me?"

The name sounded familiar, so he took two steps forward and stood in the shadows, where he first saw his boss's back.

How come you got down faster than him?
Before he could react, a figure came into view. The woman stood lazily in front of him, smiling gently.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the stunningly beautiful proprietress.

Shen Manzhi crossed her arms and slowly scanned Qin Yanfeng's slightly tipsy face. When her gaze fell on his deep, affectionate eyes, she chuckled helplessly, "You can't be angry and refuse to come home with me just because I had dinner with another man, can you?"

Qin Yanfeng glanced down at her clothes, his eyes lowered, and said in a tone that was both indifferent and wistful, "You look very beautiful today."

Shen Manzhi, who hadn't dressed up at all and was even wearing a turtleneck sweater and jeans because of the cold weather, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "When don't I look good?"

Qin Yanfeng pursed his lips, stood there with his hands in his pockets and his posture upright. If it weren't for the flushed face from drinking, people would have thought he was scolding someone with a cold expression.

Only Shen Manzhi could tell that he was jealous and had become temperamental due to the alcohol.

"You didn't tell me you were having dinner with Si Ming today."

"It was a last-minute notification; I only found out when I got there."

Shen Manzhi patiently explained that she hadn't expected Bian Shu to invite her to dinner here. When she opened the door, she found that Si Ming was also there. When the dinner ended, she ran into Qin Yanfeng in the lobby.

She recalled the time Si Ming came to see her at Yuncheng Hospital, when Qin Yanfeng mistakenly thought that the red marks on her neck were caused by Si Ming.

She doesn't usually like to explain things that are baseless; she'll just smile lazily and ask, "Why do you care about this?"

Make it impossible for the other party to ask any further questions.

However, she was happy to coax Young Master Qin, who couldn't hold his liquor very well at the moment.

"Okay," she said gently, taking a few steps closer and kissing his lips. "It was my fault. I'll definitely let you know in advance next time."

Qin Yanfeng's eyes darkened for a moment, then he stared intently at her, frowning, "Want to see her again next time?"

Shen Manzhi was speechless for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to pull his hand from his pocket. "Why do you have such a big problem with him?"

Qin Yanfeng looked at her with a deep gaze but remained silent.

Shen Manzhi didn't want an answer, thinking he was just drunk and possessive, jealous of Si Ming's past relationship with her.

So she tilted her head back, took Qin Yanfeng's hand, and looked at him with a gentle smile in her eyes, the dim light of the underground parking lot reflecting in her eyes.

"It's gone. Can you come home with me now?"

Before Qin Yanfeng could react, she put her other hand on his shoulder and whispered a few words in his ear. He paused, raised his hand to support the soft waist of the person in his arms, and then lowered his head to kiss her red lips.

He suddenly turned around, indicating that he should not look at what was improper.

To be honest, I was quite shocked. He thought it was always the boss who coaxed the boss's wife. He never expected to see the aloof and proud lady so gently coaxing her boss.

So, did the wife fail to appease the boss tonight?

Zuo sighed. There was nothing he could do; work was too busy, and one of the few pleasures he had was shipping his boss's romantic partners.

But he only saw Shen Manzhi coaxing people outside; he didn't know that she still had to coax them in bed after they got home.

Qin Yanfeng had drunk too much, but he wasn't drunk. He was still conscious, but he had amplified his inner thoughts and obsessions for no reason. So he leaned down behind Shen Manzhi's limp waist and whispered in her ear, his voice hoarse and sexy, "What did you just call me?"

Shen Manyi was panting and could barely speak properly. She didn't want to pay attention to him, but the alcohol in his body was taking effect, and she couldn't resist. So she could only plead with him in a low voice again and again, "Brother Ayan..."

Unfortunately, things weren't as relaxed as I had imagined.

Enraged, Shen Manzhi bit his arm hard, rendering him completely speechless.

She might have forgotten how she coaxed him that night; otherwise, she would have done the same this time instead of saying so much only to be easily seen through by Qin Yanfeng.

After all, it was just a routine occurrence in the month or so after the couple opened up to each other on Christmas Eve and expressed their love.

At this moment, Shen Manzhi, who was lying in the hospital bed, edited a message for Wen Lin.

I'll go back with you.

Wen Lin, still jet-lagged, arrived at the hospital with Shi Li in the afternoon. Shen Manzhi had already had all the electrodes connected to the instruments removed from her body. She sat on the hospital bed with her computer in her arms, opened her eyes, and glanced at him slowly.

"You're sleeping well."

Wen Lin ignored her teasing. Since she had taken the initiative to ask to go back, he naturally had to go along with it. He nodded and said sarcastically, "Their bodies are different."

He originally planned to leave in a couple of days, but Shen Manzhi had already arranged the itinerary and was just waiting for Wen Lin to confirm it.

So the group left Huaicheng without a trace.

Shen Manzhi's injuries this time are much better than before. Apart from the knife wound in her abdomen, the rest are just physical pain. The more serious ones are neurological disorders caused by loss of control of behavior. She should be able to recover in about a week.

So as soon as she arrived in the Dominican Republic, Shen Manzhi went into the psychiatric ward and, with a very good attitude, offered to try the healing agent that Delson had sent over, and also to have a follow-up examination.

Wen Lin finally felt a sense of relief, like an old father. "It's amazing that I suddenly understood."

The white tiger stood silently to the side, still unable to understand its ancestor, for this was usually the prelude to unleashing a powerful attack.

The consultation room and medical room were on a separate floor, and Shen Manzhi stayed there for three days.

Wen Lin could only visit her in the clinic during his rest time each day.

"Can you stop clinging to that crappy computer all day? I've been here seven or eight times, and every single time I see you playing on the computer." Shen Manzhi typed furiously on the keyboard, her fingers almost blurring out a blur, not even bothering to lift her head. "Can't I even play on the computer during my break?"

Wen Lin rarely saw her so willing to accept treatment, so he let her go. It wasn't until the third day when he saw Shen Manzhi fiddling with the computer again that he turned around and ran into the attending physician, and they started talking about her condition.

The other party said that Shen Manzhi requested that he recover his physical and mental condition within three days.

He paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that she had been almost constantly on the computer during her rest these past few days, and that she was an expert in computers.

Something seems off.

What does "three days" mean?

"The literal meaning," Shen Manzhi had stopped typing and was even leaning leisurely against the headboard, looking at the screen, "to heal my injuries."

Wen Lin's brow twitched suddenly. "What do you take this place for? You think I can cure you in three days?"

"That's pretty close to it."

Shen Manzhi looked up, her complexion already back to its usual rosy glow. "The follow-up examination plus the drug trial, three days should be enough."

Wen Lin wanted to say a few more words, but what she said was true. Although this body carried the "virus" drug, it really did have an extremely fast self-repairing ability.

"Why are you in such a hurry..."

He stopped mid-sentence, as if he understood something, and asked incredulously, "You want to go back?"

He actually thought this person valued his life and didn't want to fight those people anymore.

He clenched his fists at his sides, trying to remain calm, and said, "Don't tell me you don't know what trouble you've gotten yourself into?"

That night, I didn't want to blame anyone, but I couldn't help but blurt it out, and then I heard a soft laugh.

Shen Manzhi slightly raised her chin, a light, sarcastic smile still casually lingering on her lips, and looked at Wen Lin slowly.

"It's not that I got into trouble, it's that they got into trouble with me."

It's already troublesome enough that her body is injected with drugs that make her different from ordinary people. If things were peaceful as before, that would be fine. But there are people who covet her body and want to completely control her. Isn't this like kicking a hornet's nest?

Wen Lin knew her temperament well, and almost no one could dissuade her from making decisions. "It's safer here than in China."

“They will come eventually,” Shen Manzhi said calmly, without any trace of the ferocity she had just displayed. “They dare to cause trouble in China, so it’s only a matter of time before they find me. It doesn’t matter where they are. Being passive will only put me in a more dangerous situation.”

It might even cause trouble here.

She was already being quite objective, but Wen Lin still couldn't help but say, "You have me in North America, but what do you have in China? If you really can't let go of your man, I'll have someone kidnap him and bring him over."

Shen Manzhi was slightly taken aback, then raised an eyebrow. "You know I'm not the kind of person who acts impulsively based on feelings."

They all thought she stayed in the country for Qin Yanfeng, but what they overlooked was that Shen Manzhi, who had been alone for over twenty years and had escaped death several times, understood better than anyone what the optimal solution was.

Even Wen Lin has almost forgotten about it.

He remained silent for a long time before he understood what she meant.

"Is this matter absolutely necessary to be handled domestically?"

"Yes."

"Is there a solution?"

She tapped her computer screen lightly, "I've almost finished researching."

Wen Lin had no other choice but to let her go. Before leaving, he muttered to himself, "No wonder they all call you 'ancestor'..."

Her wounds healed quickly, and Shen Manzhi was able to move around easily. She didn't inform Wen Lin before leaving and went to the airport alone with Baihu.

Shili only found out that Shen Manzhi had returned to China that evening. During dinner, her little face couldn't hide her worry, "It's so dangerous... Can she manage on her own?"

Wen Lin smiled upon hearing this, put down his chopsticks, and fed her a bowl of steamed egg custard.

Ten eyes flickered slightly as they looked at the person beside them who was calmly eating. They leaned closer and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Wen Lin gently rubbed his thumb against her soft face and fed her another bite. "Don't worry, she's very capable. She has more people under her than you think."

Ten pupils widened as she took the food from his hand and ate it herself. "You knew all along that she could handle it? Then why did you insist on having her stay here? And why were you so angry with her..."

Her three consecutive rhetorical questions prompted Wen Lin to give her a slow, leisurely glance.

“Because some dangers can be avoided, there’s no need to risk your life. For us, staying alive is more important than anything else. But Shen Manzhi, you know…”

Wen Lin paused, then smiled helplessly, "She does everything on a whim. When she's in a good mood, she doesn't even care about life or death, so I want to give her a hand."

As a friend, he didn't want her to have such a negative view of life and death.

Fortunately, she rarely showed such interest in anything; otherwise, he would have failed every time he tried to persuade her and would have eventually become withdrawn from the situation.

Shili nodded as if she understood, but with some regret, "I thought that with Mr. Qin, she would become different, at least she wouldn't do such dangerous things anymore."

Wen Lin didn't want to bring it up, but seeing the girl's expression, he added, "Is it possible that she chose to do this so that she could live a better life in the future?"

Ten grains looked up, their doe-like eyes filled with curiosity.

As for why, he didn't elaborate, only chuckled, "How do you know she hasn't changed? That guy surnamed Qin has long been her top priority."

Before leaving the treatment room, Wen Lin asked one more question, "Does he know what you're going to do? Everyone over there knows about your relationship, aren't you afraid..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other person already understood what he meant and didn't even hesitate.

"I will naturally protect my people."

It was only then that Wen Lin suddenly realized that Shen Manzhi had probably placed Qin Yanfeng in the safest position under her wing before formulating the plan.

She said she wouldn't act impulsively because of her feelings, because she would always make a very thorough plan with the most rational attitude to relieve his worries and protect his safety.

At that time, Shen Manzhi was at the airport in Country A, preparing to transfer to a red-eye flight, which was already late at night.

Baihu got her some hot water, saying, "It's time to board."

"Has everyone made arrangements?"

"Everything is arranged. They'll arrive in Huaicheng at the same time as us."

“Okay,” Shen Manzhi crushed the paper cup and threw it into the trash can. As she stood up, she wrapped the scarf that had fallen in front of her around her neck with two fingers. “Spread the word that I’m back in China.”

Thank you so much for your support, Angus!
