My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

"Um?"

Li Bo managed to utter a single syllable; his throat was very sore, all from the torment Zhou Yanshao had caused him these past two days.

Zhou Yanshao has been giving him food all the time these past few days.

"It's okay, go to sleep."

Zhou Yanshao held Li Bo tightly, resting his head on Li Bo's neck, his lips pressed against Li Bo's neck. If Li Bo dared to struggle or move, he would bite him twice, and Li Bo would immediately become obedient.

A gentlemanly and handsome CEO like Mr. Bo would lose his authority and be difficult to command respect if his neck was covered with hickeys and bite marks, which would also be inconsistent with Mr. Bo's status.

Li Bo rubbed Zhou Yanshao's head, and after two days of being extremely sparing with words, he finally said a few more: "Don't bite again."

The roads will be closed tomorrow, and Li Bo should be able to go back to work.

Zhou Yanshao outwardly agreed, "Oh."

The next morning, Li Bo returned to Huaihou Company and was busy with various tasks. Soon, a pile of documents that needed to be signed accumulated on his desk. Li Bo spent the entire morning just looking at and signing the documents.

After a long and tiring journey, Li Bo returned to the base for lunch. There was still snow on both sides of the road, and it looked very cold. He went back to change his clothes and then called Zhou Yanshao.

The call was connected very quickly this time.

Li Bo asked, "Where are you? Have you eaten?"

"without."

"We'll be waiting for you at the cafeteria."

"oh."

Li Bo arrived at the base canteen and had barely sat down when Zhou Yanshao arrived, carrying a tray in one hand and a cooling soup in the other. He placed the soup next to Li Bo, indicating that Li Bo should drink it.

Li Bo drank the soup, ate some rice, and put down his chopsticks.

Zhou Yanshao frowned: "Can't you eat more?"

I'm full.

Zhou Yanshao handed the beef in the bowl to Li Bo and ordered, "Eat some more."

"OK."

Li Bo ate a little more, and Zhou Yanshao kept putting food on his plate. Li Bo could only force himself to eat. In fact, he didn't have a strong appetite to begin with. Although he could smell the food, he couldn't taste it. It was like chewing wax, so his appetite was even smaller.

Zhou Yanshao was satisfied when he saw that Li Bo had eaten a lot.

Dr. Deman came over from a distance and sat down next to Zhou Yanshao. He had gone abroad for a seminar some time ago and had just returned today. As soon as he got back, he wanted to find Zhou Yanshao, but Zhou Yanshao didn't answer his phone. It was also lunchtime, so she came to eat first.

Dehman asked with concern, "How have you been lately?"

Zhou Yanshao glanced at Li Bo, "That's good."

Have you been having trouble sleeping lately?

"without."

"I heard from Coach Andrew that you and Crane had a verbal altercation..."

Zhou Yanshao interrupted, "Dr. Deman, this is not consultation time."

Deman: "..."

Deman gave Zhou Yanshao a look that said, "I knew you weren't good."

Li Bo's brows relaxed, and he asked with a smile, "Is Dr. Deman from Beijing?"

Deman smiled and looked at the handsome and refined Li Bo across from him: "My mother is from Beijing, and my father is from Northern Europe, so I'm half of them."

"I've seen you in the capital before," Li Bo said with a smile, adding that he had even been a little jealous about it.

When Zhou Yanshao returned to Beijing, he took Deman to Xizi Bay. Li Bo thought that Zhou Yanshao had found a lover in Northern Europe, but it turned out that it was just for medical treatment.

"Oh? Really? I rarely come back to Beijing, I didn't expect to run into you here! We're so destined!" Deman extended his hand to Li Bo, who raised his hand and shook it politely.

Zhou Yanshao's face darkened.

Dehman keenly sensed it: "What are you angry about?"

"I'm not angry."

Zhou Yanshao stared at Li Bo's hand, which was being held.

Li Bo withdrew his hand.

Deman turned his suspicious gaze to Li Bo, whom he had never seen before, who spoke Chinese and was dressed in a suit. "I haven't had a chance to ask yet, who are you?"

"Li Bo," Li Bo said with a smile, "is now the president of Zhihuai's Nordic branch."

"Oh, Mr. Bo!" Deman is Mr. Dejin's niece, and she has a deep impression of the name of the big spender in front of her.

Li Bo smiled slightly.

Zhou Yanshao picked up Li Bo's plate and said, "Let's go."

"Okay." Li Bo looked at Deman and said politely, "Talk to you later."

Zhou Yanshao left the cafeteria, saw Li Bo into the car, and then went back to training. However, the car circled around a little and came back. The driver didn't understand what Li Bo meant, but just did as he was told.

Li Bo called Mr. Dejin and got Deman's phone number, then invited him to have coffee at the coffee shop near the entrance.

Deman arrived quickly, sat down, and ordered a coffee. Only then did Li Bo get down to business and ask about Zhou Yanshao's illness.

This is a patient's privacy, and as a psychologist with medical ethics, she cannot disclose it to the public casually.

Li Bo frowned deeply and mentioned several key time points, such as the time when he started dating Zhou Yanshao, the time when they broke up, and the time when Zhou Yanshao learned of his death.

Deman paused for two seconds.

Li Bo confessed their relationship.

He also told Deman that he was taking care of Zhou Yanshao in accordance with Zhou Huiyuan's will.

Only then did Deman tell Li Bo about Zhou Yanshao's condition.

Zhou Yanshao's illness began seven years ago, starting with an injury sustained by an athlete at the Nordic training base. It worsened after returning to Beijing, but improved considerably upon returning to Nordic countries. This only lasted for less than half a month before recurring, and this time the relapse was very severe, especially during competitions. She and Professor Andrew tried to persuade Zhou Yanshao to withdraw from the competitions, but Zhou Yanshao refused.

Six years ago, Zhou Yanshao won a medal in the competition, but Coach Andrew was furious. Upon returning, he punished Zhou Yanshao by suspending him from training for two months and sending him to the countryside to do hard labor as a form of self-reflection.

Deman told Li Bo that Zhou Yanshao was unwilling to talk much about things in Beijing, and her results all came from psychological test papers. Zhou Yanshao was always reluctant to speak to the therapist during her therapy sessions.

But Deman observed that Zhou Yanshao wore a ring during the period when he was in the best mood.

Therefore, she speculated that Zhou Yanshao's illness was related to his former lover.

Deman never expected that Zhou Yanshao's former lover was a man.

Deman advised, "If Mr. Bo truly cares about him, please pay more attention to his emotions. If he loses control and yells at you, please try to comfort him."

Li Bo nodded: "Mm."

Li Bo knew that Zhou Yanshao's emotions were building up, and if he didn't know the truth of what happened back then, it might take a long time to coax him... But he couldn't tell him the truth for the time being, because the truth might be even more fatal to Zhou Yanshao.

Li Bo would only consider telling Zhou Yanshao if one day his condition became so serious that it was absolutely necessary to disclose it.

Li Bo returned to his dormitory, put on the ring that Zhou Yanshao had given him years ago, went to the training ground, and watched Zhou Yanshao from afar. After a while, his eyes started to sting, and not wanting to lose his composure in public, he turned and left.

When Zhou Yanshao turned his head, he saw Li Bo, who had taken off his skis and was running over from a distance, calling out to him, "Li Bo."

Li Bo turned around.

Zhou Yanshao hugged him tightly: "Why are you back?"

Li Bo was a little breathless from the hug. "I came back to get some documents and stopped by to see you."

"The training ground isn't on the way to your dorm."

Li Bo smiled and said, "I've come back to see you."
