Shen Fanxing was once again taken aback, blinking lightly before bursting into laughter.

"Sorry, that was indeed my mistake."

Bo Jingchuan looked at her radiant smile, a shimmer of emotions flickering in his eyes.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"I just didn't expect someone like you, with your elegant and extraordinary demeanor, to say such things. It doesn't match your appearance."

"You're right. If you understand, then there's no problem with what I said."

"However, Miss Shen, objects have intrinsic attributes and surface attributes. Intrinsic attributes usually remain unchanged, while surface attributes change with conditions. So, if you only focus on the surface attributes of things, you won't see their true nature."

"When it comes to people, it's said, 'know people by their appearance but not their hearts.' Are you sure you judge people only by their appearance?"

Shen Fanxing's laughter gradually faded, replaced by a growing sense of indifference.

She was naturally sure she couldn't!

Just one Shen Qianrou was enough to teach her all about society and human nature for a lifetime!

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Therefore, Mr. Bo, we may not be very compatible... I really don't understand you. If I can't see through your surface attributes, how can I understand your intrinsic attributes?"

"And just a few minutes after breaking up with my boyfriend, I haven't even recovered from that, and now I'm supposed to dive into another relationship. I'm afraid I would struggle, and it would also be disrespectful to you..."

"I didn't expect you to agree with me now. You asked me why I came, and I answered your question. Pursuing you is my business, and I never let others dictate my decisions."

Bo Jingchuan paused, seemingly waiting for Shen Fanxing to adjust, then continued calmly after a moment.

"Of course, whether to reject or not is also your business. However, I reject your rejection!"

"..."

"I welcome Miss Shen to examine my intrinsic attributes at any time!"

Shen Fanxing was completely stunned, watching Bo Jingchuan leave without saying a word.

When the room was completely empty, she seemed to slowly come back to her senses after a long, long time.

On her usually expressionless face, the corners of her mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Rejecting or not rejecting was her business, but rejecting her rejection was his business?

Where was her right to choose?

So, could everything he just said be translated into one sentence at the end—

Was she his chosen one?

This man was really...

Shen Fanxing shook her head slightly, feeling amused, and finally pulled back the covers.

She sighed deeply, feeling a bit hungry, but there wasn't even a bedside table in her room.

She got up and poured herself a glass of water from the automatic temperature-controlled machine nearby, drank it, and then lay down again.

Everything seemed so natural to her, and she didn't even realize that at this moment, she needed someone to take care of her the most.

But everything became a habit. Since she returned from France three years ago, she bought an apartment to live in by herself.

She was sick by herself, saw the doctor by herself, and even administered injections and IV drips by herself.

Although she had Su Heng, he only occasionally took care of her.

Three years ago, Su's company got into a lawsuit over the quality of its cosmetics, and after paying huge compensation, it was heavily in debt.

At that time, she had just returned from abroad for a short time and hadn't even formally taken over the public relations company her mother left her before she joined Su Heng's company.

From the beginning, she accompanied him to deal with various social engagements, until they eventually separated and dealt with their own social circles.

She didn't know how many times investors had taken advantage of her!

She didn't know how many times she had gotten drunk and passed out!

And she didn't know how many stomach pills were in the drawer of her office!

She managed her mother's public relations company while also managing Su's public relations department, and she even served as the chief perfumer for Su's research department.
