Chapter 157 Is He Truly in Love?
Sang Ruo's steps were forced to stop.
She turned her head and met his eyes, seeing a deep worry in his eyes.
"Okay, I understand."
After hearing her reply, Fang Gan gently released her hand.
When they got home that evening, Fang Gan personally cooked them a meal, all of which were dishes that Sang Ruo loved.
In the past, whenever she was unhappy, her senior brother would always try his best to cheer her up.
Sometimes I cook her delicious food, and sometimes I take her out to have fun.
Isn't my senior brother being a little too nice to her?
She hadn't noticed this before, but now it seemed especially obvious.
...
Hong Kong Clubhouse.
After hearing from the manager that Bo Jinyan had arrived, Fu Chenqing rushed to the private room, looking travel-worn.
As soon as I opened the door to the private room, I was choked by the strong and pungent smell of smoke, which made me cough repeatedly.
"Ayan, how many cigarettes have you smoked? The whole private room is filled with smoke. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were practicing magic pills in our club!"
Bo Jinyan flicked the ash from his cigarette and then threw the butt into the ashtray.
He leaned back on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling without saying a word.
"What's wrong with you? You only come here once every few years. The last time you came was because the group was in crisis, which was several years ago. What's the matter this time?"
"Nothing much, I just wanted to come and sit for a while."
After straightening up, Bo Jinyan poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"Bang--"
He slammed the cup down on the table, the sound so loud it echoed almost throughout the entire private room.
"You're so angry, yet you say nothing's wrong? Did you have a fight with Sang Ruo?"
After hearing his words, Bo Jinyan's back stiffened for a moment.
Fu Chenqing was one of the few people who knew that he and Sang Ruo had a close relationship.
Hearing that name from him only deepened the sense of despondency I felt.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Fu Chenqing suddenly leaned forward curiously, sat down next to him, and nudged his arm with her shoulder: "Seriously, what exactly happened?"
Bo Jinyan originally didn't intend to speak, but he desperately needed an outlet for his emotions.
Drinking all the time isn't a solution.
After a moment of contemplation, he finally told Fu Chenqing everything that had happened that day.
After listening, Fu Chenqing only said one sentence: "Ayan, are you tempted?"
The man's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, as if he couldn't help but do so.
This was a question he himself hadn't even considered...
He always felt that the woman possessed some kind of fatal attraction for him.
She drew him closer and closer, and he often wanted to be intimate with her.
"She's not divorced yet! You'd better be careful. Even if you don't care about the gossip, you should still consider things from her perspective. After all, she's a woman, and she can't withstand all this gossip..."
"Having come to this point, do we still have a way out?"
Bo Jinyan curled his lips into a cold smile.
“What I mean is, if you really love her, you should tell her and help her get out of the misery of marriage as soon as possible.” Fu Chenqing corrected her: “Perhaps she has already gotten out of the misery of marriage, but in her current situation, she cannot completely escape it.”
“I told her I wanted to help her, but she told me not to get involved.”
There was a hint of helplessness in Bo Jinyan's voice.
"Then it seems you haven't completely won her heart yet." Fu Chenqing reached out her well-defined hand and patted his shoulder: "Why did you have to fall for her of all people?"
Bo Jinyan's hand, which was gripping the cup, continued to tighten its grip.
This was something he hadn't anticipated.
...
Since the day Bo Jinyan went to the clinic to look for Sang Ruo, there has been no news of him for a week, and he has not appeared by her side again.
She finally found peace and quiet, and focused on her work, busy at the clinic during the day and dealing with jade artifacts at home at night.
In the past few days, Zhang Ye has not inquired about the Jade Guanyin.
Like his master, he vanished without a trace.
Sang Ruo spent several days finally restoring his jade Guanyin to its original state.
She gave the items to Chen Anni and asked Chen Anni's friend to deliver them to Zhang Ye.
"Smack—"
She threw the things on the table, not very forcefully.
"Sister Ruo, please take it easy. This thing is very precious. It took so much effort to fix it. Don't break it again."
"It's better if it breaks."
Sang Ruo glared at the jade Guanyin, her anger rising.
"If it breaks, you're the one who has to fix it..."
"If he asks me to fix anything again, just say I'm dead."
"Dead?" Chen Anni looked at her, both amused and exasperated. "Sister Ruo! What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning?"
She is indeed dead.
It's just that the heart is dead, not the person.
Sang Ruo pulled out a chair and sat opposite her, picking up her milk glass without a second thought.
"What's wrong with you? I've noticed you've been acting strangely lately. Before, Bo Jinyan would come over here every few days, but it's been a week now, and there's been no word from him at all. Did you two have a fight?"
There was a hint of doubt in Chen Anni's voice.
Sang Ruo's hand holding the milk cup suddenly paused for a moment.
After a few seconds, she replied softly, "No."
"Don't try to hide it from me, I really feel like something's wrong with you! If anything's wrong, remember to tell me, don't keep it to yourself."
Sang Ruo tore off a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth.
Fang Gan had already gone to the patient's place, and Song Linlin was still sleeping inside. Now, only the two of them remained in the restaurant.
Sang Ruo pondered for a moment, and finally told him what had happened a few days ago.
After hearing this, Chen Anni became extremely agitated: "Are you sure you didn't see wrong? That woman really sat on his lap and even kissed his cheek?"
"Absolutely true."
Sang Ruo sighed softly, her voice filled with disappointment.
Chen Anni was so angry that she immediately put down her chopsticks and then grabbed the jade Guanyin statue on the table without hesitation.
"Damn it, this thing was actually given to their sweetheart! What's the point of keeping it then? To get them together and settle down? And you even repaired it for them!"
"Don't you dare drop it!"
Just as Chen Anni was about to smash the object to the ground, Sanno quickly stopped her.
After seeing her obstruction, Chen Anni eventually put the jade Guanyin down.
"I'm so angry! I thought I'd met a good man, but he's even worse than Bo Jingzhou. No matter what kind of scoundrel Bo Jinzhou is, he wouldn't do something like this in front of you, right? But Bo Jinyan is something else..."
Chen Anni was so angry she didn't want to continue.
A bitter smile appeared on Sang Ruo's face.
Chen Anni continued rambling, "It really proves the saying, 'Birds of a feather flock together'!"
