Chapter 194 Promise to help her get her house back
The man's large hand landed on her waist in an instant.
A dark and cold gaze descended instantly: "You're already hugging each other, and you still say you have nothing to do with him?"
After hearing his words, Sang Ruo suddenly raised her eyes and asked incredulously, "When did you arrive?"
"Anyway, I saw everything you and he did on the balcony!"
Bo Jinyan's hand, which was gripping her waist, continued to tighten, causing her some pain.
She frowned at him, her voice deep: "So what if I saw it? There was nothing between him and me, so there's nothing to explain to you."
"What? Miss Sang, are you planning to explain to me only after I see you kissing, or even sleeping together?" Bo Jinyan pinched her chin with one hand, forcing her to look up at him. "Or do you think that because you haven't given me a title, you don't need to explain to me?"
"He's just my senior brother, like an older brother to me." Seeing his serious expression, Sang Ruo finally explained, "We hugged just now because I suddenly thought of my grandfather. I guess he saw how sad I was, so he hugged me. It wasn't like what you saw..."
After hearing her words, Bo Jinyan suddenly loosened his grip on her waist a little.
His voice held a hint of probing: "Why did you suddenly think of your grandfather? Did something happen?"
He could clearly sense that Sang Ruo seemed to be in a very low mood tonight.
Sang Ruo placed her hands on his chest, creating some distance between them: "This evening, my aunt came to see me. She said she was having cash flow problems and had sold all her other properties. She's going to move into the Hengyang courtyard soon."
Upon hearing this, the man beside him suddenly frowned slightly.
The courtyard in Hengyang was an inheritance left to her by her grandfather. Although it was just a house, it must have been very important to her, otherwise she wouldn't have used it as leverage to make a deal with him.
"Zhang Ye has been keeping an eye on that house. There isn't a good plan yet, but I'm trying to find a way. Don't worry, I'll get it back for you someday."
A man's voice is firm and resolute, making it easy for people to believe him.
When Sang Ruo turned to look at him, she had already seen the resolute look in his eyes.
Before she even opened her mouth, he already knew what she wanted to say.
Could this be considered one of the few instances of tacit understanding between them?
“Mr. Bo, I knew you could definitely help me get it back, otherwise I wouldn’t have made a deal with you in the first place.”
Sang Ruo looked at him with the same firm gaze, her voice much lower.
Bo Jinyan merely glanced at her before suddenly reaching out and cupping her face in his hands.
He suddenly moved closer, his voice deep: "Do you know, every time you look at me like that, it really makes me want to do something to you..."
After hearing his words, Sang Ruo's heart suddenly jumped into her throat.
A sense of unease suddenly welled up in her heart.
Sang Ruo instinctively placed her hands on his chest: "Mr. Bo, what are you doing?"
After hearing her words, the man couldn't help but smile slightly.
He gave a faint smile and asked her in return, "What do you think?"
When Sang Ruo raised her eyes and met his gaze, she saw a red streak in his eyes.
Did he not sleep well last night?
Why are there so many red blood vessels under my eyes?
Bo Jinyan suddenly moved closer to her.
Sang Ruo instinctively reached out and placed her hand against his chest, her voice deep and resonant: "Bo Jinyan, did you not sleep at all last night?"
The lust in Bo Jinyan's eyes was completely shattered by her words.
His upper eyelashes fluttered slightly: "I only slept for a little over two hours!"
"Why aren't you getting enough sleep? Do you know your eyes are bloodshot? You're seriously staying up late!"
Sang Ruo looked at him with a worried expression, a hint of coldness creeping into her eyes.
“Something happened on the project last night, so I rushed over to deal with it. I didn’t get back to the company until 5 a.m., and after being woken up at 7 a.m., I couldn’t fall back asleep.”
After releasing her, Bo Jinyan leaned back in his chair, yawned softly, and looked exhausted.
"You should go home earlier after get off work, why did you come here to find me?"
The worry in Sang Ruo's eyes grew even stronger.
Bo Jinyan turned his head and met her gaze, then casually asked, "Miss Sang, are you worried about me?"
Sang Ruo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then her heart inexplicably raced.
Even though she was genuinely worried about him, she didn't want to admit it.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Bo Jinyan suddenly spoke again, "I missed you, so I came to see you. Exhaustion has overcome my longing..."
Sang Ruo was already in a state of utter confusion because of his words.
For a moment, I didn't know how to respond to him.
Bo Jinyan looked directly into his eyes and asked bluntly, "Miss Sang, have you missed me?"
Sang Ruo instinctively swallowed, but did not respond to his words. Instead, she quickly reached out and grabbed his hand on her thigh, then took his pulse.
Seeing her behavior, Bo Jinyan suddenly found himself both amused and exasperated: "It seems having a doctor at home is a good thing, huh? They can take my pulse anytime, anywhere..."
At home.
The moment those two words reached her ears, her hand holding his pulse suddenly paused for a second.
She and Bo Jinzhou are divorced, and she can no longer be considered a member of the Bo family, but he still uses the word "family" to describe her.
She instantly understood the meaning behind his words.
Does this mean he's completely treating her as one of his own?
"Can you tell anything? It's just staying up all night, it should be fine."
After a moment of calm, Sang Ruo said seriously, "Don't joke around, I'm taking your pulse seriously."
Seeing her slightly annoyed expression, Bo Jinyan suddenly dared not act rashly again.
After taking his pulse, Sang Ruo's expression was extremely grave: "Your pulse is very irregular, and you seem somewhat restless and easily startled. You need traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your condition, which means you stopped taking the medicine before the previous treatment was complete..."
"I've been too busy lately..."
