Out of control and sinking

"Sister-in-law, didn't Brother Bo tell you about these things?" Feng Meiling asked curiously.

Jiang Ruan shook her head: "No."

That's why she asked her.

Jiang Ruan was genuinely curious about Bo Ye's childhood, but she knew that he didn't seem to have a very happy childhood, and his parents' relationship wasn't good, so Jiang Ruan never asked him about it.

Now that she finally knows someone who knows about Bo Ye's past, Jiang Ruan's curiosity has been thoroughly piqued.

"Too."

"Brother Bo is such a proud person, of course he doesn't want to talk about the past with people, especially the unpleasant past."

Feng Meiling sighed and looked sincerely at Jiang Ruan, saying, "Actually, we sometimes feel sorry for Brother Bo. We are both from wealthy families. Si Chen and I have been able to get by since we were young. It's only in the last few years that our families have put pressure on us. But Brother Bo is different. He was pressured by his grandfather since he was young and forced to grow up too fast. Si Chen and I weren't close to him when we were young because he never had time to play with us."

"Moreover, every time I saw Brother Bo, his face was always cold and he seemed very unapproachable. So even though we grew up together, we weren't close before."

"We gradually started playing together as we grew up."

Jiang Ruan nodded: "I understand."

At this point, Feng Meiling couldn't help but ask her, "Sister-in-law, how long have you been with Brother Bo?"

Bo Ye had never mentioned her existence to them before.

Or did they only get together this year?

Feng Meiling speculated.

But Jiang Ruan said, "Three years."

Feng Meiling was completely dumbfounded: "What? Three years?"

"You've been with Brother Bo for so long? Then why haven't I seen you here before?"

This shouldn't be the case.

"Didn't you live here before?"

Feng Meiling asked her.

The shock on his face wouldn't fade.

I thought they would only be together for six months at most, but I never expected it to last three years.

More than a thousand days.

Jiang Ruan is only twenty-four or twenty-five, which means she got together with Bo Ye right after graduating from university.

Bo Xilai really knows how to hide things.

This is like keeping a mistress in a golden house.

Jiang Ruan was a little embarrassed. She said, "We are usually busy with work, so we haven't spent much time together before. We've been apart for long periods of time."

"Do you love Brother Bo?" Feng Meiling asked, her dark eyes shining as she stared at him with a smile. "Of course you love him, right? I guessed so. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been willing to be the woman behind him for three years. I never expected that Brother Bo, who usually seems so aloof and indifferent to women, would have hidden you in this villa."

Feng Meiling clicked her tongue twice: "But this also fits Bo Ge's personality, which is quite unexpected."

Jiang Ruan's gaze was somewhat complicated as she replied, "Mm."

She added, "I don't know if it's love, maybe it is, maybe it isn't."

"Why do you say that?" Feng Meiling asked in surprise.

Jiang Ruan smiled bitterly: "None of us have ever been loved, and we don't understand love."

“There are plenty of people who don’t understand love, so what’s the big deal? But if you’ve been together for three years, you must have feelings for each other.” Feng Meiling said shyly, “Was I too blunt? Don’t take it to heart, sister-in-law.”

"No."

Jiang Ruan said, "I think you're right."

“Sister-in-law, I’ve known Brother Bo for so many years, and he has never brought a woman to meet us before. You are the first.”

"Just based on this, I feel that you are the woman that Brother Bo truly approves of, and he didn't object when we called you sister-in-law."

Feng Meiling said, "Brother Bo may be a bit slow to warm up because he has never been in a relationship before, but he is definitely a good person. Moreover, Brother Bo is the president of the Bo Group. He is rich and powerful. No one in the entire capital city dares to touch him. You won't suffer if you follow him."

Jiang Ruan certainly knew.

But her attention was focused ahead. She asked in surprise, "Has Bo Ye never been in a relationship?"

Feng Meiling: "No." "Sister-in-law, why do you ask that?"

Jiang Ruan glanced upstairs, then looked away and asked in a lower voice, "What about Su Wan?"

"Aren't there rumors online that they're childhood sweethearts, saying that Bo Ye isn't dating or getting married because he's waiting for her to come back..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Meiling interrupted him: "What? That's all nonsense online. You can't believe it, sister-in-law."

Mentioning Su Wan, Feng Meiling frowned: "I know her. Although I'm not familiar with her, I'm very familiar with Su Wan's cousin. We both think Su Wan has a very strange temper. Not many scions of prominent families are on good terms with her."

“Strange?” Jiang Ruan raised an eyebrow: “Why do you say that? I think she’s quite smart and capable, an international film queen, and comes from a very good family.”

Hearing the praise, Feng Meiling suddenly understood. She chuckled, "Sister-in-law, you're not jealous of her, are you?"

Jiang Ruan blushed slightly: "Don't talk nonsense."

Why would I be jealous of her?

"Don't worry." Feng Meiling took her hand. "If Brother Bo really had feelings for her, you probably wouldn't exist. Besides, apart from Brother Bo's mother, nobody in the circle thinks they're a good match."

"I said Su Wan has a strange temper, that's her personality. She's very fickle and has an extremely strong competitive spirit. She's a lot like Brother Bo in that respect."

"Anyway, I didn't have a particularly good impression of her. It's hard to like a woman who's too strong-willed."

"And don't let her gentle appearance fool you," Feng Meiling whispered mysteriously in her ear, "she's actually quite a womanizer..."

Jiang Ruan was completely shocked after hearing this.

"But you can rest assured about one thing: as far as I know, Brother Bo has absolutely no feelings for her."

Jiang Ruan's eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"

Why would I lie to you?

Jiang Ruan's mood immediately improved.

Jiang Ruan loves to listen to gossip, and Feng Meiling's mind is full of gossip from the wealthy circles. The two of them can talk for a whole afternoon without getting tired of it.

When Bo Ye and Si Chen came downstairs, they saw this scene in the living room.

Jiang Ruan and Feng Meiling snuggled on the sofa, hugging a bucket of popcorn. Feng Meiling whispered something in Jiang Ruan's ear, and Jiang Ruan laughed until tears streamed down her face.

The entire living room was filled with their laughter.

Bo Ye: "..."

Hearing footsteps, Jiang Ruan suppressed her smile and looked up, only to meet the man's dark, deep eyes, his face now cold.

Why do you look unhappy?

"Sister-in-law, Feng Meiling, what are you chatting about that makes you so happy?" Si Chen asked.

Feng Meiling glanced at him: "Why should I tell you?"

"With such a strong sense of curiosity, men should refrain from interfering in women's affairs."

"You!" Si Chen's temper flared up immediately.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Jiang Ruan kindly smoothed things over: "Mr. Si, we were just gossiping."

Si Chen snorted and said to Feng Meiling, "Take some time to learn from your sister-in-law. Look at her, and then look at you. You're always like you've swallowed gunpowder. You don't act like a woman at all."

Feng Meiling didn't like hearing that.

The two started arguing again.

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Jiang Ruan simply fled the scene.

Barefoot, stepping on the sofa.

She came to the man.

Standing on the sofa, she was only slightly taller than him.

Holding a bucket of popcorn in her arms, she took a bite and asked in a sweet, soft voice, "Are you all done with your work?"

Bo Ye: "Mm."

His gaze was fixed on the popcorn between her fingers, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Is it good?"
