Chapter 209 She Left Again

Bo Jinyan gazed quietly at her features before softly saying, "You're not allowed to slander yourself to elevate me anymore..."

Sang Ruo was somewhat surprised after hearing his words.

It turns out he was angry because of what was said halfway up the mountain...

"I was just trying to create a certain atmosphere. After all, we were at that critical juncture, what else could I do?"

"Sang Ruo, you are exceptionally outstanding and a perfect match for me, in every way. You've already captured my heart. Even if you don't want to admit it publicly, at least don't deny it or slander me..."

Bo Jinyan looked at her seriously, his eyes full of sincerity.

These words, though not a confession, were more powerful than one, and they deeply touched her heart.

"Bo Jinyan, why are you taking this so seriously?"

"What? Does my seriousness scare you? Are you afraid you can't make a promise to me? Or are you afraid you'll leave me one day?"

Bo Jinyan placed his hand on her face, gently cupping her cheeks, his gaze growing increasingly dark.

Sang Ruo was stumped by these questions.

Actually, she was very unsure about their relationship, which was why she hesitated to make him a commitment.

“Bo Jinyan, I…”

"Since we're already divorced, we've at least won half the battle, so you don't need to worry about anything else. I've got everything covered!"

I'm here for you!

A sudden pang of sadness welled up in Sang Ruo's heart.

She hadn't heard those words since her grandfather passed away.

She had never experienced that feeling of being supported in her many years of marriage, but she found it in this man.

It made her dead heart sprout anew, as if it were breaking through the soil in an instant.

That feeling both excited and frightened her.

She looked at the man in front of her with reddened eyes, and suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to kiss him...

Bo Jinyan was faster than her, lowering his head to kiss her lips.

This time, Sang Ruo didn't dodge and responded deeply to his kiss.

Bo Jinyan picked her up and carried her quickly to his desk, where he placed her on it.

One of them was standing, and the other was sitting.

The height seems just right.

Suddenly, the scene of her first visit to Qinyuan Bay flashed into her mind.

She was hiding under this table at the time, and it seems that her bond with this man began from that day.

I never imagined that they would develop such a relationship in just six months.

“Look at me.”

Bo Jinyan wrapped one arm around her back and the other hand pinched her chin, forcing her face up.

Her hand, resting on the table, clenched involuntarily.

The man whispered, "I want you to always remember that the person beside you now is me, and it can only be me in the future."

Sang Ruo could no longer hear what he was saying; she stared wide-eyed at her reflection in his pupils.

Silently watching myself sink deeper and deeper...

They moved from the table to the sofa, and finally, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the study.

He carried her to the bathroom, cleaned her up, tucked her into his own blankets, and held her as they fell into a deep sleep.

Sang Ruo's heart remained restless for a long time tonight.

Because none of the previous times had she felt her feelings for this man so directly.

That night, feelings grew wildly like weeds.

She suddenly began to long for a future with him.

But she knew very well that she couldn't do it now...

Sang Ruo saw her own heart clearly that night, but she couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, early morning.

As dawn broke, Sang Ruo took a taxi and left Qinyuan Bay.

When Bo Jinyan got up, he didn't see Sang Ruo. He went downstairs to look for her, but unexpectedly heard Aunt Feng say that she had already left.

"Gone?" Bo Jinyan asked in surprise, "When did you leave?"

"It was around six o'clock. I had just gotten up and was planning to say hello to her, but she left in a hurry, so we didn't run into each other. I only saw her back."

Bo Jinyan's eyes turned cold after hearing her words.

She left in the middle of the night after we had sex last time. I thought we could at least have breakfast together this time, but I still couldn't find her when I woke up.

Oh.

What is he expecting?

Shouldn't we have gotten used to it by now?

A wave of bittersweetness washed over him and lingered for a long time.

After arriving at the company, he originally planned to call Sang Ruo, but ultimately gave up on the idea.

At noon, Fu Chenqing came to discuss a new cooperation project with him. After entering his office with the contract, he saw that Fu Chenqing's face was extremely gloomy.

"What's wrong with you? Who's upset you this time?"

Fu Chenqing sat down on the sofa, tossed the contract onto the coffee table, crossed her long legs, and glanced at him with a curious expression.

Bo Jinyan took out a cigarette, put it to his lips, lit it, and the smoke instantly enveloped his face.

After a long silence, he replied softly, "I want to ask you a question."

Seeing his serious expression, Fu Chenqing analyzed, "The only thing you'd ask me for advice on is probably matters of the heart."

“It’s not my business, it’s a friend’s business.” Bo Jinyan looked at him seriously: “I hope you can answer me from an objective point of view.”

"Okay." Fu Chenqing leaned back in his chair and responded softly, "Ask away."

"If a woman always leaves quietly afterward, what does that mean? Doesn't it mean that this woman doesn't love this man at all?"

"The person you're talking about, could it be Miss Sang? After sleeping with you, Miss Sang just walked away?" Fu Chenqing suddenly found himself both amused and exasperated. "I really didn't expect Miss Sang to be so bold, sleeping with you and then..."

Did I say it was me?

Bo Jinyan's hand, which was holding the cigarette, involuntarily tightened for a moment.

Seeing the displeasure on his face, Fu Chenqing wisely shut her mouth: "Fine, it's not you, it's not you. Then your good friend should also be surnamed Bo..."

"Fu Chenqing, I'm not joking with you."

Fu Chenqing cleared his throat and said bluntly, "Okay, okay, I'm not kidding anymore. Actually, it's not hard to find the answer to your question. There are only two reasons."

"explain."

Bo Jinyan flicked the ash from his cigarette, the chill in his eyes growing even stronger.

"The first reason is simply that the woman doesn't love the man, but still maintains this ambiguous relationship with him, probably because she thinks that the man is a pretty good bed partner."

After hearing his words, Bo Jinyan's upper eyelashes trembled slightly involuntarily.

Fu Chenqing naturally noticed the fleeting surprise in his eyes.

Bo Jinyan took a deep breath and then asked, "What's the second reason?"
