Chapter 569 Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan's Cold War
He saw all of this.
Just two days ago, she was all lovey-dovey with him, and just two days ago she told him she loved him.
It turned out that the love she gave him was so fragile!
Once Bo Jinyan appears, she becomes blind to everyone else.
"Gong Lian, I really didn't..." Wen Qingyi was almost in tears because of what he said. She looked like she was about to cry, which was very pitiful. "I was just thinking about something. It's not what you think at all."
She never imagined that her feelings for Bo Jinyan would one day be discovered by him.
She believed she had hidden it well, and her attitude towards Bo Jinyan was also very distant.
What more do you want from her?
However, Gong Lian no longer believed her: "Really? Then marry me tomorrow, and I'll believe you."
Only through marriage could he truly bind her to his side.
Only through marriage can he truly possess her.
There's no need to be afraid of losing her, nor to worry that she'll fall for someone else.
Marriage? And I'm marrying him tomorrow?
This request surprised Wen Qingyi: "Gong Lian, what are you talking about? Getting married tomorrow? But we haven't prepared anything yet..."
At least her mother and Bo Jinyan's mother were old acquaintances. Although her family background was not as good as the Bo family, she was still the eldest daughter of the Wen family.
How was she supposed to think about marrying him so rashly?
What do you think her family, who are far away overseas, will think?
Who can just get married on a whim?
"You see, you're still unwilling at heart." Gong Lian saw through her refusal and sneered, "If you really cared about me, why would you want so many material things?"
Ultimately, she still couldn't let go of Bo Jinyan.
That's why she was so resistant to his proposal to get married.
Wen Qingyi shook her head and explained in a humble voice, "It's not like that. It's just that if I were to marry you, I would have to tell my parents who live in Canada and ask for their opinion. I can't just get married to you secretly."
That would be more than just disrespectful to her.
It was disrespectful to her parents who were far away in Canada, and it also let her down.
She wasn't a casual woman; she knew how important marriage was for a woman.
"Then you can get our marriage certificate first, and then tell your parents who are far away in Canada, wouldn't that be fine?" Gong Lian pressed on, his voice so gloomy it could drip water: "Or are you saying you don't want to marry me at all?"
What disrespect for her parents? What seeking their opinion?
He felt that these were all just excuses she used to avoid his marriage; she wanted to continue being with him, living this affluent life, and still thinking about Bo Jinyan.
Wen Qingyi felt that he was simply making excuses: "Gong Lian, marriage is not as simple as you think. Look, even Bo Jinyan, didn't he and Sang Ruo prepare for his marriage for a long time?"
"As you know, I have a history with Sang Ruo, and I don't want to lose to her in this aspect."
She would look down on herself if she did that, and her taste in men would be worse than that of her past rivals.
She would despise herself for being so incompetent.
"Bo Jinyan! Bo Jinyan! You only have Bo Jinyan in your heart!" A trace of pain flashed in Gong Lian's eyes: "Since you are so full of him, why are you still with me? You might as well break up!"
What's the point of staying together like this?
Her heart wasn't with him.
Even if you get it, it won't taste good.
The moment the words "break up" left his mouth, he already regretted it, but it was too late.
Once words are spoken, they are like water spilled; they can never be taken back.
Tears welled up in Wen Qingyi's eyes and quickly filled them, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Seeing her so broken made Gong Lian feel a pang of pity: "Yiyi..."
He had barely begun to speak when Wen Qingyi ran out crying.
Many people thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle at this birthday party, and as it drew to a close, everyone was whispering among themselves.
The couple's relationship was unstable.
This is how many people evaluated them after watching the show.
Sang Ruo was unaware of what had happened to Gong Lian. She only knew that after Bo Jinyan brought her back to Qinyuan Bay, the two children were already asleep.
As soon as he entered, Bo Jinyan asked, "Xiao Ruo, I've been watching your face the whole way here. Can you tell me what I did wrong? Don't give me that look."
He didn't like to guess her emotions.
This is really hard to get through.
"You object to my excessive involvement in the Chen family's affairs, but the question is, do I want to be involved? Aren't I being forced into it by the Chen family?"
Sang Ruo's brows and eyes revealed obvious displeasure, and her tone was also somewhat cold: "But you kept telling me not to interfere, how can I not be angry?"
What angered her was that he always spoke up for the Chen family instead of for her.
She was already cornered by Chen Wei. If she didn't fight back, Chen Wei would probably go even further!
She had no other choice.
"I didn't mean you shouldn't manage things; I just didn't want you to get involved in the Chen family's internal strife."
Bo Jinyan didn't know why she thought that way: "Because this matter, in essence, is just a family affair of the Chen family. How they fight and play their games is their own business, and we don't need to get too involved."
Sometimes, watching from the sidelines is a better way to protect yourself than directly participating.
Especially in such a complex Beijing social circle, her actions could easily backfire.
He didn't want her to be surrounded by wolves.
But Sang Ruo disagreed with him: "Ayan, you have your opinion, and I have my insistence. It's getting late, so let's get some rest."
After saying that, Sang Ruo went upstairs to take a shower, too lazy to argue with him any further.
Bo Jinyan watched her go upstairs and slumped onto the sofa, feeling somewhat dejected.
He didn't know how things had turned out this way.
It was increasingly getting out of his control.
That night, the two tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and for the first time since their marriage, they slept back to back.
When Sang Ruo woke up the next morning, she had two huge dark circles under her eyes, which almost scared Song Linlin to death.
"Aunt Xiaoruo, what's wrong with your eyes?" Song Linlin asked nervously, looking at her dark circles. "Didn't you sleep well?"
Sometimes, she becomes like this when she hasn't slept well.
She just didn't look as tired as Aunt Xiaoruo.
With dark circles under her eyes, Sang Ruo forced a smile and said, "I just came back a little late last night. Hurry up and eat breakfast. Auntie will take you to school later."
After finishing a glass of milk, Bo Yukang asked her, "Mom, is today Dad's court hearing?"
