Out of control and sinking

Chapter 121 Why do I always like the word "persistence"?
He lowered his voice and said, "Come here and I'll tell you."

Jiang Ruan looked wary, even covering her clothes with both hands. She said, "Don't try to trick me. I'm exhausted today."

"Right now, I just want to sleep; I don't want to think about anything else."

Bo Ye raised an eyebrow: "How tired are you?"

"You can't sleep anyway."

Jiang Ruan: "Who said that?"

She turned off her phone and moved further inside, giving off a feeling of being separated from him by a dividing line.

Jiang Ruan closed her eyes and sighed silently: "Being a female celebrity is so tiring. They look glamorous on the outside, but only they know how much they suffer."

"I used to envy female celebrities, but now that I'm one myself, I might as well just find a job."

The sarcastic remarks reached Bo Ye's ears. Bo Ye's dark eyes flashed, and he said calmly, "If you don't want to do it, then quit the industry."

"I don't need the little money you earn."

"I raise you."

If this were heard by any other woman, hearing Bo Ye say "I'll take care of you" would probably drive her crazy with excitement.

But what Jiang Ruan heard was like a thunderclap, and she opened her eyes in fright: "No way."

"I don't want you to support me."

"As the old saying goes, you can't rely on anyone in this world except yourself. Money earned by yourself is the most secure to spend. Women must have the ability to make money, otherwise the outcome will be terrible."

Bo Ye listened to her rambling on and on, and couldn't help but laugh in exasperation: "Who taught you all this?"

He pulled back the covers and lay down, easily crossing the line between 18 and 28, his dark eyes looking at her: "How miserable is a woman who can't earn money?"

Jiang Ruan bluntly stated, "If I get abandoned one day, I'll be left with nothing but the northwest wind."

"Like Wang Baochuan, she ate all the wild vegetables from several mountains. Isn't that tragic?"

Bo Ye: "..."

With a long reach, he pulled her into his arms, his nose filled with her fragrance.

He felt exceptionally at ease.

He closed his eyes and his thin lips moved slightly.

"Go to sleep."

"Stop thinking about those useless things." Jiang Ruan listened, her red lips twitching slightly. She said, "How is it useless? I think my thoughts are quite positive."

"That's true. People like you are born into a life of luxury, so of course you can't understand the thoughts of us poor folks."

Bo Ye didn't speak. After a few seconds of silence, he opened his eyes.

When he met her slightly sad eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he tightened his arms around her waist.

He said in a low voice, "Your idea is right. There are many variables that people will experience in their lifetime."

"Only by having the ability can one gain a foothold in the industry, earn the respect of others, and enhance one's self-worth. I took over the Bo family at the age of seventeen, so I can naturally empathize with your thoughts."

“But Jiang Ruan, your man isn’t dead.”

This was the first time he had called himself her man.

Jiang Ruan's heart skipped a beat.

Her body was stiff as she lay in his arms.

Their eyes met; his gaze was deep and dark, filled with suppressed tenderness.

He said, "Perhaps you can trust me a little more."

"At least all these years, I've never lied to you, have I?"

What he said is true.

I've been with him until now, and he truly means what he says.

He never brushed her off or lied to her.

"But what if I want you to say you love me?" Jiang Ruan's eyes were already brimming with tears. She sniffled, her eyes still wet with tears. "Would you say it?"

“Bo Ye, I have never been loved by anyone since I was a child.”

"You should know that what I want is love."

Tears streamed uncontrollably down my cheeks.

Her tears, hot as they were wiped away by warm fingers, fell onto the man's fingertips, their temperature seeming to burn his heart.

Seeing her cry, Bo Ye sighed and murmured, "Why do you always like to be so fixated on this word?"
