Chapter 197 I Can't Make Any Promises
"Didn't you say you didn't have time? I happened to have no patients at the clinic right now, so I took some time to come over. But when I got downstairs, I found that your phone was off, and I couldn't get through to Zhang Ye either, so I had no choice but to bring it up myself."
Sang Ruo carried the six bags of medicine and quickly walked towards Bo Jinyan's desk.
"Thank you for your hard work. I was in a meeting with a client just now, and it was a very important meeting, so I turned off my phone. Zhang Ye is also in a meeting next door."
A faint, gentle aura appeared on Bo Jinyan's face.
Sang Ruo placed the broken bag, along with the Chinese medicine, on the table.
She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her: "Is the client you mentioned Bo Jinzhou?"
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan was stunned for a moment: "How did you know?"
"Because I ran into him at the stairwell. He saw me delivering medicine to you, and for some reason, he kept bothering me and questioning me about the decoction service, saying that I was biased towards you. As a result, he spilled all your Chinese medicine on the ground, and it got a little dusty. Please don't mind!"
"How could I possibly mind? This is medicine you brewed for me yourself. I'll drink it no matter what. Besides, it's just the bag that got dirty, not the medicine itself."
The man gazed at her tenderly, his face revealing a deep affection.
deep feeling.
When those two words popped into her mind, even she was surprised.
The way he looked at her was indeed more affectionate than before.
Bo Jinyan quickly got up from his chair, walked around the desk, and came to her. He instinctively reached out and took her wrist.
His voice was extremely gentle: "Besides questioning you about these things, did he make things difficult for you?"
Sang Ruo raised her eyes, and when their eyes met, she saw the curiosity in his eyes.
They were just talking, and she didn't intend to tell him.
After all, it's better to avoid trouble.
She raised the corners of her lips and smiled faintly: "No, how could he possibly make things difficult for me? With my personality, how could he possibly make things difficult for me?"
A captivating smile curved across Bo Jinyan's face: "That's true. Even I can't make things difficult for you, let alone my nephew..."
Sang Ruo's smile deepened, her tone casual: "What? Is Mr. Bo planning to make things difficult for me?"
"No, I was just using an analogy, why take it so seriously?"
She looked up and gazed quietly at his eyes and brows, but said nothing.
"Look at my eyes today, aren't the bloodshot eyes much less visible?"
Bo Jinyan suddenly leaned in, placed his hands on both sides of the chair, and trapped her inside.
The distance between the two suddenly closed very close.
Sang Ruo's heart pounded wildly because of his action.
This man always manages to subtly and effortlessly stir her heart.
This was an experience that no one else had ever been able to give her before.
Including Bo Jingzhou.
Sang Ruo subconsciously moved back and nodded gently: "It's definitely much less. Looks like you slept well yesterday, that's good..."
"Since you've spoken, of course I'll listen to you."
Sang Ruo lowered her gaze subconsciously: "I'm neither your girlfriend nor your wife, and you don't have to listen to me like this. I was just giving you that advice from a doctor's perspective."
Bo Jinyan seemed very dissatisfied with her response. He suddenly reached out and pinched her chin, lifting her face up again.
He gazed into her eyes and brows, his voice tinged with seriousness: "You can stand beside me in any capacity, as long as you wish."
These words, though not a confession, were more powerful than a confession, leaving Sang Ruo even more confused.
She tried to ease her tension with a laugh: "Don't joke around. Our relationship is at most just..."
It was at most an accident, which is why it caused such a commotion.
But she simply couldn't bring herself to say the second half of what she was about to say.
"Why did you stop talking? Just what?"
Sang Ruo instinctively reached out, trying to push him away: "It's nothing, it's getting late, I should go back."
The next second, the man pressed down firmly on her shoulders and forced her back into the chair.
"Why are you suddenly silent?" Bo Jinyan looked at her with a puzzled expression, then tentatively asked, "You're not trying to say that we only had a one-night stand, are you?"
Sang Ruo paused for a moment, then shook her head in the end: "No."
"So that means we were lovers..." Bo Jinyan suddenly leaned close to her ear and said in an extremely deep voice, "So in your eyes, I really am just a lover?"
“Mr. Bo, as you know, I just got divorced and can't make any promises to you. Besides, our current situation is indeed quite dangerous. I think we should…”
"What? You're thinking of abandoning me and running away again?" Bo Jinyan suddenly pulled her up from the chair, then turned her around and pressed her against the desk: "Do you think you can get away?"
Her concerns stemmed from Bo Jinzhou's earlier words, which had indeed made her feel uneasy.
If nothing unexpected happens, Bo Jinzhou will definitely plant more spies around her to find out about the 'pretty boy' she mentioned.
Therefore, reducing contact during this period is a good thing.
“Bo Jinyan! I’m serious. Let’s keep our contact to a minimum for a while. If you don’t have anything urgent, don’t go to Youfeng Tower or my clinic. But if it’s really urgent, you can call me…”
What if I don't agree?
Sang Ruo raised her eyes and immediately saw the anger in the man's eyes.
She never expected that her words would still anger him.
"I'm not saying we'll stop contacting each other, I just mean reducing the frequency. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I don't understand. Before the divorce, there was no need to reduce contact. Now that you've both signed the papers, you're asking me to stay away from you. Don't you think what you're saying is absurd?"
Sang Ruo was speechless for a moment.
Because what he said was indeed true.
But if she tells him everything about her conversation with Fu Jinzhou today, Bo Jinyan will definitely take corresponding measures.
This is not the situation she wanted to see...
"What are you hiding? Or do you already have someone else outside and want to get rid of me?"
Bo Jinyan's cold gaze pressed down, his voice deep and resonant.
"No, you've misunderstood..."
Before Sang Ruo could finish speaking, a passionate kiss suddenly landed on her lips.
Sang Ruo's eyes widened involuntarily for a moment, filled with shock.
Footsteps came from outside the door, but they weren't coming from there.
With people coming and going, it would be unreasonable for something to happen between them in the office...
