Chapter 437: The Most Romantic Words From a Shepherd

was already 11 o'clock at night."Madam arrived home at six o'clock, driving back herself. She was given a bowl of flower glue soup and two pieces of osmanthus honey paste first. For dinner, she had a..."Miss, wait a moment, you're missing something..." The prison supply worker suddenly called out to her, "This coin is yours..."

A silver-black coin lay in her palm.

The cool touch of metal sent a shiver down her spine, goosebumps erupting on her skin.

"This..." Qiao Bao'er acted as if the thing in her hand was something filthy, wanting to throw it back. "This, I didn't bring it!" Her voice trembled now.

The people here at the prison are pretty aggressive. The person behind her shouted at Qiao Bao'er, "Don't block the way, take your things and move aside!"

Even the prison staff were too busy to pay her any attention.

Everyone who comes to visit has to put their personal belongings, such as phones, in a small box, except for the documents brought by lawyers. Although Qiao Bao'er insisted the coin wasn't hers, it was indeed an item from her box. According to regulations, everything had to be returned as it was.

Qiao Bao'er was pushed to the side by the crowd behind her, still looking as wooden as ever, staring blankly at the ancient coin that appeared silver-black on the surface.

"Clearly, Mingming was thrown into the lotus pond by Lu Qinnan last night. How could this be..."

There's a scratch on the old coin, from when I was attacked in Japan last time. It's the mark left by a needle.

This is, the same ancient coin.

qiao Baoer froze for a while, her face pale. A guard patrolling with a gun inside the prison noticed something was amiss and walked over. He unceremoniously picked up an iron rod and banged it hard against the nearby iron bars, making a loud banging sound, warning her, "This is a heavily guarded prison, get out now."

Jo Bao'er was still shaken, and she looked up at the imposing prison guard standing before her. She slowly nodded, her feet feeling unsteady as she walked out.

"This ancient coin..."

"It really, came back to itself." It deliberately clung to her.

Qiao Baoer suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. The abrupt sound startled her, who was already feeling uneasy.

Looking at the familiar number on the phone screen, it was Junzhi Mu who called.

Qiao Bao'er pressed the answer button, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart and speaking with a touch of nervousness, "What's up"

"Where are you now!"

Unexpectedly, Junzhi Mu retorted impatiently.

"In, in the company..."

She knew that Jun Zhimu was still in Europe, and the Jun family didn't know she had taken a day off to skip work today. So she naturally lied to avoid him asking questions.

Jun Zhi Mu listened to her say this and became even angrier. He directly asked, "What did you suddenly go to the city for!"

He had been prepared for this, and listening to her speak so confidently, his tone grew a bit heavier.

Junzhi's shepherd is indeed still in Europe, but he received a call from home an hour ago, reporting that she drove out today but didn't go to work, lied about being sick at the company, and has been turning off her phone since.

Jun Zhimu thought, recently Lu Qinan's elder brother had gone missing. Hearing the news passed on by the Jun family, he immediately sent people to investigate. He also handed over his current projects to others for negotiation and was now sitting on a private jet to rush back home.

Now that the phone has been connected, he actually dares to lie to him!

Jun Zhi's expression darkened, but the woman on the other end of his phone showed no intention of explaining. He grew angrier and said, "Tell me clearly what's going on!"

Qiao Bao'er was confused by the ancient coin in her hand, unable to think about anything else. She only felt inexplicably angry at his outburst and resentment grew in her heart.

He obviously already knew she didn't go to work today, and even found out that she took a short flight into the city this morning. The way he's questioning her now, is he interrogating a suspect What a jerk.

"I can't come to the city Can't I take leave from work Don't I have any personal freedom at all Are you going to lock me up like a prisoner!"

" Qiao Bao'er!"

The shepherd was furious, and he didn't know what to say to her. He shouted her name angrily.

She, she's being unreasonable.

"What else are you trying to lecture me about Trying to shut me up, huh Sorry, I'm not your subordinate. I don't work for &am;am;, and you have no right to tell me what to do!"

Joe Bao'er seemed to get angrier as she spoke.

The past two days have driven her crazy with all these strange things happening. Junzhi牧's aggression today was just the spark, and she lashed out in a completely unreasonable way.

Junzhi Mu usually showed such indifference to things outside of himself, but now he was almost furious, gritting his teeth and saying, "You suddenly took a leave without notice and your phone went unanswered. People would be worried about you."

"My phone was just turned off for an hour. I came to the city this morning and will be back at Jun's place before 7 pm tonight. Don't worry."

She had it all planned out, coming over in the morning and returning before dinner, not wanting to worry them. But somehow, in the end, she ended up being the one who worried them instead.

When Junzhi Mu heard her plans, he wasn't forced and his mood gradually improved.

At heart, his anger wasn't about restricting her outings; he was just worried something might happen.

After he had calmed down, he also tried to use a soothing tone, half coaxing, "What did you suddenly go to the city for"

Qiao Bao'er listened to his soft voice, and her fiery temper also calmed down.

She turned to look at the imposing prison behind her. A sense of resistance rose in her heart, making her reluctant to mention Ye Wei. After all, Ye Wei hadn't officially divorced her father Qiao Wenyu yet. Talking about the family matters from her mother's side wouldn't be worthwhile anyway.

Qiao Baoer changed her mind, "How do you know I didn't go to work today" Jun Zhimu was in Europe and knew she had secretly come to the city. Someone must have tipped him off.

"Wasn't it Zhiyan who told you" she said almost with certainty.

She was now certain that Ye Wei hadn't hired someone to attack her in revenge, so Jun Zhiyan was still her number one suspect.

Junzhi Mu knew. Grandpa arranged Zhiyan to work at the same company as her to learn about human resources and social interactions. He heard that she seemed somewhat distant towards Zhiyan.

Junzhi's shepherd didn't take it to heart, thinking it was probably just a small conflict between women. Qiao Baier wasn't a vindictive person; she was just having a little tantrum.

However, with them working together, Qiao Baier is more likely to lead Jian Yanyan astray.

"Don't cause trouble with Zhiyan anymore."

"How could I possibly be blamed for her shenanigans... It wasn't me who made her join the same company as me! I don't even want to be too close to her!"

Jo Bao'er heard this and felt that Jun Zhimu favored his younger sister. Anyway, in their eyes, every time something went wrong, it was blamed on her.

qiao Bao'er admitted that she was a little bit petulant and petty.

Before Junzhu's shepherd could say another word, she quickly cut off the call.

This woman has already made it a habit to hang up on him.

Qiao Bao'er couldn't sort out her muddled thoughts for a moment, mechanically walking out of the prison. She wandered aimlessly along the street, bathed in the bright sunlight of midday.

This dazzling sunshine, warming her body, seemed to calm her heart as well.

"Take a deep breath and look at this ancient coin again, 'It's broad daylight, the big sun is shining, there's nothing to be afraid of...' " she muttered to herself.

I must take this to an antique shop and have them figure out its history...

Jo Baoer kept talking to herself to build up her courage. She hadn't done anything wrong, there was nothing to be afraid of. Besides, this ancient coin had once saved her life; it shouldn't harm her.

She was unsettled by the assault she had experienced in Japan and this strange coin, which led her to sneak out of the city to seek refuge here. She suspected it might have been Ye Wei, but Ye Wei told her that besides being kidnapped in high school, she had nothing to do with any other accidents.

qiao Baoer fell into a vortex, the more she investigated, the less she understood. After going out once, she inexplicably quarreled with Jun Zhimu and was frightened by this ancient coin.

Qiao Bao'er sighed deeply under the scorching sun.

At this moment, her phone vibrated, signaling a new text message.

This is from Jun Zhi Mu, {I came to pick you up}.

Seeing these simple words, the pent-up emotions she had been holding back suddenly lifted, and her heart felt lighter. The uneasiness she had been feeling also found a sense of security.

Junzhimu's attitude toward this whole ice-block situation has changed quite a bit. When they first got married, if they had an argument, it would take at least ten days or half a month before they made up. Back then, he always wore that icy expression. Now, Junzhimu has apparently learned some new tricks.

She hung up on him, and he texted her.

In fact, it wasn't that she was being stubborn. She just didn't want him to go through the trouble of rushing to the city. She estimated that he probably wouldn't have finished the European conference and would have rushed back home anyway.

Where are you now

Jun Zhi Mu sent another message, this time he didn't ask her what she was doing in the city. He knew better than to provoke her into a tantrum.

Qiao Baoer looked at the problem, her expression became a little awkward.

She knew their relationship wasn't like other couples, all mushy and calling each other "honey" or "sweetheart". She and Junzhi Mu didn't do that sort of thing. She found it too cheesy. But she also knew this man loved her deeply.lpable, and even the most oblivious person could sense that disrupting it now would be a bad idea.Because Qiao Ba'er felt embarrassed to speak ill of Jun Zhimu, she nodded awkwardly at them."How old a...
