Chapter 116 Testing
She had already mentally prepared herself, so at this moment, her expression didn't change much.
"Whom are you trying to find out from me, Mr. Bo?"
Sang Ruo curled her gentle lips into a smile.
The man held the teacup, fiddling with it in his hand, but didn't drink it.
After a moment of calm, he tentatively asked, "Miss Sang, do you know someone named 'Huai Sang'?"
Sang Ruo's heart seemed to stop beating, pounding wildly.
"I wouldn't say I know her, I've only heard her name," Sang Ruo said casually. "I talked about her with Assistant Zhang before. Apparently, she's a jade master, quite well-known in the industry..."
"I didn't know you before!"
The man nodded thoughtfully, then fixed his gaze on her face.
It seemed as if they were trying to glean a clue from her face.
Unfortunately, nothing can be seen.
"I remember Ms. Sang once said that she had other businesses as well. I wonder if they are also related to jade?"
Bo Jinyan continued to probe for information, his tone still tentative.
Sang Ruo suddenly tightened her grip on the cup.
This subtle change was noticed by the man in front of him.
Sang Ruo put down her cup and asked curiously, "Why is Mr. Bo asking so many questions? He'll find out when the time is right."
Bo Jinyan quickly stood up and walked directly towards her.
He fixed his gaze on her and said in an extremely indifferent tone, "Then when would be the right time?"
The next second, the man suddenly braced his hands on the back of the sofa.
Sang Ruo's entire body involuntarily leaned backward, her entire back resting against the sofa back.
The sudden closeness made Sang Ruo inexplicably nervous.
At this moment, scenes of past ambiguous moments keep flashing through my mind...
She instinctively swallowed, responding nervously, "Mr. Bo, please don't get so close to me..."
"What are you so nervous about?" Bo Jinyan suddenly reached out his well-defined hand and grabbed her chin. "Miss Sang, is there really something you're hiding from me?"
"Mr. Bo, given our relationship, do I need to tell you everything?"
Sang Ruo frowned slightly, placed her hands on her chest, and tried to push her away.
Bo Jinyan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Although we've never officially confirmed our relationship, is there still a need for that?"
Sang Ruo naturally understood the meaning behind his words.
He meant that, to him, they had already been a couple for a long time.
But Sang Ruo knew that if she admitted it at this time, her situation would be very dangerous, and she would also drag Bo Jinyan into the mess.
After calming herself down, she smiled faintly and asked, "Mr. Bo, what is our relationship?"
The man tightened his grip on her chin.
He suddenly stroked the hair at her temple and replied in a low voice, "We've done everything we should and shouldn't have done. And you're telling me we have nothing going on? You're quite good at disclaiming responsibility..."
When Sang Ruo raised her eyes, she instantly met the man's captivating phoenix eyes.
She took in the coldness in his eyes.
Sang Ruo's heart sank to the bottom.
She kept biting her lower lip and didn't say a word.
Bo Jinyan suddenly pulled her up from the sofa, and Sang Ruo suddenly remembered that she still had the jade hairpin in her pocket.
If we hugged at this moment, it would definitely be exposed...
She quickly reached out and instinctively placed her hand in front of the man's chest: "Mr. Bo, please don't do this."
When Bo Jinyan saw her resisting expression, his brows furrowed slightly for a moment.
This was the first time Sang Ruo had resisted him so much, which inexplicably made him displeased.
"What? You really plan to sleep with me and then..."
The man's voice suddenly rose a notch.
Sang Ruo quickly reached out and covered his lips directly.
The distance between the two was forced to close a bit.
"Mr. Bo, please stop talking. The child and Annie are upstairs!"
Sang Ruo's voice carried a strong sense of tension.
As the two drew closer, Bo Jinyan sensed something hard in Sang Ruo's pocket.
He instinctively reached out, intending to take something out: "What's in your pocket?"
Sang Ruo quickly backed away, and before the man's hand could even reach into her pocket, she had already retreated several meters away.
Seeing her strong reaction, Bo Jinyan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are you hiding that you're being so secretive about?"
"It's nothing." Sang Ruo subconsciously reached out and pushed him towards the door. "It's getting late, Mr. Bo, you should go home and rest early!"
As Bo Jinyan reached the door, he suddenly turned back and glanced at her: "Was it a gift from a man?"
Sang Ruo paused for a moment.
It was discovered for the first time that Bo Jinyan's suspicions were unusually strong.
Since they had sex, although they haven't officially become a couple, he seems to have developed an unprecedented desire to control her.
No, you're overthinking it.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Bo Jinyan didn't press her further.
Sang Ruo waved to him: "Be careful on the road."
The man glanced at her indifferently, then strode away.
After closing the door, Sang Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, in the morning.
Bo Jinyan messaged her secondary cardholder, asking where she should send the pendant.
Sang Ruo sent Chen Anni's friend's address and called Chen Anni to ask her friend to sign for the package.
She had just hung up the phone when a familiar voice came from behind her: "Sang Ruo, let's talk!"
Sang Ruo turned around upon hearing the sound and immediately saw the man standing behind her.
Bo Jinzhou stared at her with a gloomy face and indifferent expression.
Sang Ruo glanced at him, her tone utterly cold: "What's there to talk about between us?"
If nothing unexpected happens, he must have come for the jade hairpin.
It seems that what is bound to happen will eventually have to be faced.
Bo Jinzhou reached out his well-defined knuckles, grabbed her arm, and led her to the lounge.
"What are you doing? I have patients waiting..."
Before Sang Ruo could finish speaking, Bo Jinzhou interrupted her: "Let's talk after we're done!"
After the man led her inside, he quickly closed the door.
"Bang--"
The loud slam of the door echoed through every corner of the surrounding area.
Sang Ruo raised her eyes and glared at him, her face turning cold: "Speak quickly if you have something to say!"
"You were behind the treasure appraisal show, weren't you?"
As soon as he said this, the man quickly approached her, his face darkening.
Sang Ruo suddenly chuckled softly, "President Bo, you couldn't hold back any longer? This only happened yesterday, and you're already coming to see me so eagerly?"
Bo Jinzhou lowered his voice considerably, a crimson glint appearing in his eyes: "You admit you did it?"
