Chapter Ninety-Eight: An Ambiguous Relationship
"Since you said there are rooms upstairs, what were you and your 'clients' doing up there?"
Bo Jinyan stopped and glanced back at her.
When Sang Ruo met the man's gaze, she realized that he must have misunderstood something.
Upon arriving on the second floor, the enormous piano in the living room came into Bo Jinyan's view. He glanced at it casually and then walked towards it.
Sang Ruo followed his gaze.
This piano was bought by Bo Jinzhou for Bo Yukang. After they left, they bought a new piano, so they didn't take this one with them. It has been sitting here for many years.
He leaned against the piano, his gaze fixed on the master bedroom, without uttering a sound.
The delivery date is tomorrow, and she needs to continue working tonight; otherwise, she won't be able to deliver the vase to the customer smoothly.
After a moment's thought, Sang Ruo stepped forward: "Mr. Bo, I still have some work to do, otherwise..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bo Jinyan grabbed her wrist, turned her around, and pressed her against the piano.
A jumble of piano music drifted into the second-floor living room.
"What else can you do at home? Is there another 'client' coming along?"
A chill suddenly surged in the man's deep eyes.
Sang Ruo looked up incredulously: "No."
"If you need money, you can tell me. Why do you want to do it this way?"
Bo Jinyan placed his hands on either side of the piano, encircling her entirely in his arms.
"Mr. Bo, have you misunderstood something?"
"You refuse to yield to me in person, but resort to such methods behind my back. Do you think I can't give you what you want? Or do you think I'm older than you and can't satisfy you?"
"Bo Jinyan! What nonsense are you spouting?"
"What nonsense did I say?" Bo Jinyan gritted his teeth and said, "You were drugged but refused to have sex with me, yet you found a sugar daddy behind my back?"
Sang Ruo paused for a moment.
It turns out he really misunderstood.
Sang Ruo felt a sudden, inexplicable, dull pain in her heart.
A tender spot in my heart felt as if it had been struck hard for a moment.
That feeling was bittersweet, extremely painful.
Sang Ruo curled her lips into a cold smile: "Is this the kind of person I am in Mr. Bo's eyes?"
The man suddenly fell silent, staring at her without saying a word.
“Mr. Bo, I do have other jobs, but it's not what you think. This job is my side job, and it's a legitimate one, not the kind of 'business' you're talking about. Please don't slander me like that! It's quite hurtful…”
Sang Ruo pushed him away and headed towards the third floor.
Suddenly, the man grabbed her wrist from behind.
The next second, she was picked up.
Bo Jinyan placed her directly on the piano, cupped her face in his hands, and asked seriously, "What other work is there?"
"Given my relationship with Mr. Bo, surely I don't need to tell you every single detail?"
Her tone was cold and indifferent, and her voice was much lower.
"I'll only ask you one question." Bo Jinyan suddenly grabbed her chin: "Besides me, do you maintain ambiguous relationships with other men?"
Upon seeing his cold gaze, Sang Ruo instinctively swallowed.
He must be angry; it was the first time she had ever seen him so serious.
"I……"
Before she could finish speaking, the man silenced her with a kiss.
Sang Ruo's heart suddenly leaped into her throat.
Her hands, which were placed at her sides, accidentally pressed a piano key, startling her so much that she trembled all over.
She placed her hands against the man's chest, trying to push him away, but Bo Jinyan grabbed her hands, giving her no chance to break free.
The piano music rose and fell, just like her chaotic and indescribable heart.
The man's low breathing near her ear made her heart race uncontrollably.
It only took her a minute to go from initial resistance to final compromise.
When the man's kiss moved to her snow-white neck, Sang Ruo realized what dangerous thing she was doing.
Once she came to her senses, she grabbed the hand that was reaching for her skirt.
She looked at him with confused eyes: "Mr. Bo, what exactly is our relationship now? What am I to you?"
“I’ve said it before, you can come to my side anytime you want.” A look of desire flashed in Bo Jinyan’s eyes: “I can give you everything you want.”
Sang Ruo was not without wavering, especially at this moment.
But she wasn't divorced yet, and she was still in the mud herself, so how could she dare to drag him down with her?
Besides, he also has other people in his heart.
She can be stupid once, but she absolutely cannot be stupid a second time!
"What I want, you can't give me."
Sang Ruo shook her head and pushed him away again.
Just as Bo Jinyan was about to say something more, a child's voice came from downstairs: "Auntie Xiaoruo, we're back."
Sang Ruo straightened her skirt and said calmly, "Linlin is back. Why don't you go down and see her? Isn't that why you came here?"
"Sang Ruo." Bo Jinyan's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes dark and unfathomable: "Are you truly ignorant, or are you pretending not to understand?"
Sang Ruo's hands, which were placed on either side of her skirt, involuntarily clenched for a moment.
She understood what he meant, but she just wasn't quite willing to believe it.
"I really don't understand."
Sang Ruo's tone was cold and indifferent, and her voice was deep.
Bo Jinyan moved closer to her again, cupped her face in one hand, and then whispered in her ear: "Do you want me to help you with the divorce?"
The implication is that he can't wait any longer.
At this moment, Sang Ruo's heart was in turmoil.
What kind of person is Bo Jinyan?
Once he takes action, the situation will no longer be peaceful.
She replied without hesitation, "No need, I can handle it myself, thank you Mr. Bo."
"Then hurry up, don't force me to take action."
Bo Jinyan gently pecked her lips, then went downstairs.
Sang Ruo felt her legs go weak, and for the first time, she felt a sense of resistance towards this man.
Has she been completely targeted by him?
for what?
Body?
Hearing Chen Anni and Bo Jinyan talking downstairs, Sang Ruo felt extremely confused. She went straight up to the third floor, locked the door, and decided to ignore everything and not care about anything else.
He clearly has someone he likes, so why is he trying to get close to her in this way?
She was becoming increasingly confused...
Sang Ruo didn't know when Bo Jinyan left; she only knew that Chen Anni arrived on the third floor half an hour later.
"Clatter—"
She didn't even knock on the door; she just barged in.
Chen Anni looked at Sang Ruo with a serious expression: "Sister Ruo! Tell me the truth, are you and Bo Jinyan really having a secret relationship?"
Sang Ruo's hand, holding the repair tools, suddenly paused slightly.
It seems that it really can't be hidden anymore.
Sang Ru hesitated for a moment before speaking, "We're not together, but our current situation is indeed unclear..."
Chen Anni frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
