Out of control and sinking

Chapter 153 Awake? Why are you pinching me?

Bo Ye was fast asleep, having a dream—an unusual dream—about Jiang Ruan…

Suddenly, my elbow, the most vulnerable spot, was pinched hard by someone.

Suddenly, Bo Ye was jolted awake by the pain.

"hiss."

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief. Bo Ye was grumpy when he woke up, and he was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly choked awake. His face was gloomy and hostile.

I even want to kill someone.

Just as he was about to lash out, he saw the person in his arms blinking a pair of bright, dark eyes, full of curiosity and tears, staring at him pitifully and aggrievedly.

She woke up.

Bo Ye's anger vanished instantly.

The arm that was supporting her neck had long since gone numb. Bo Ye gritted his teeth and moved slightly, but couldn't bear to move her.

His voice was hoarse as he asked her, "Awake? Why did you pinch me?"

Should I take this opportunity to get revenge on him?

But then I saw her with tears in her eyes, her little mouth pouting, and she murmured, still a little dazed, "Am I dreaming?"

"I think I'm seeing Bo Ye alive."

"It shouldn't be a ghost, it can feel pain."

Jiang Ruan muttered to herself.

Bo Ye laughed in exasperation. So she had been treating him like a dream, which was why she pinched him?

This made Bo Ye feel even more sorry for her.

He raised his arm, revealing a long, muscular, and incredibly strong arm. He joked, "Why don't you try pinching it a few more times?"

"Jiang Ruan, I'm not dead."

As he spoke, he looked at her with dark, complex eyes, but his gaze was firm, and a faint smile played on his lips.

She's still alive, how could he dare to die?

If he dies, who in the entertainment industry will protect her?
This incident made Bo Ye realize that even if he died, Xu Yun probably wouldn't even blink.

That woman never cared about him as her son.

She would blame all her misfortunes on him, believing that his existence was the cause.

That's just how unreasonable it is.

The one who will truly be heartbroken is the woman in his arms at this moment.

Bo Ye felt a surge of smugness.

It wasn't a complete waste of money raising them.

Humph.

Suddenly, he heard Jiang Ruanwa crying beside him. She hugged his waist and buried her face in his chest, crying loudly like a little child.

"Waaaaah, Bo Ye, I thought you were dead, waaaaah..."

"I can't get through to you on the phone. They said the plane you were on was in an accident, sob sob sob..."

"I was so scared, waaaaaah..."

Jiang Ruan broke down in tears.

Although she lacks backbone, she completely disregards the concept of saving face.

After all, nothing is more important than his life.

Jiang Ruan still had a fever, and was crying and coughing. The coughing was accompanied by a headache, and her face was flushed red from coughing.

Bo Ye quickly patted her back; he had never seen her like this before, as if the sky had fallen.

Bo Ye felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and he was heartbroken.

The man coaxed her gently in his voice.

"He's not dead, he's alive and well."

"Don't cry, sweetie."

Bo Ye held her and kept comforting her.

Jiang Ruan listened to him and then stopped crying.

Once she had calmed down a bit, she got up and went to fetch water herself.

Holding a cup of warm water, he gently helped her up from the bed: "Have some water."

"You've been crying so hard, your throat must be dry."

Jiang Ruan's throat was really dry. It was already dry to begin with, and then she cried like that.

Her eyes were red and swollen like a rabbit's, and her hair was a mess. She had no image left in front of him.

Jiang Ruan sobbed and sniffled.

She held the cup in his hands and gulped down a lot of water before she felt better. "That's enough," she said, her voice no longer hoarse.

"it is good."

Bo Ye placed the water glass on the table.

Having calmed down considerably, Jiang Ruan propped herself up on the bed, looked up, and was caught off guard by the pale skin beside the bed. She couldn't help but stare at him and ask, "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Jiang Ruan was just crying.

No one noticed.

When Bo Ye returned and was asked this question, he teased her, "We've been married for so long, what haven't we seen?"

Jiang Ruan's face started to turn red, and she muttered, "But you still have to wear clothes."

"it's the same."

After saying that, Bo Ye got into bed and pulled her into his arms.

The two lay down again.

Jiang Ruan was thinking that something was different.

But isn't this a free benefit?
Tears still clung to the corners of her eyes. He looked at her with his dark eyes and reached out to wipe them away for her.

She didn't speak, but just pursed her lips and looked at him.

Her eyes were wide open, staring at him expectantly.

As if they were afraid of losing him.

Bo Ye looked at her, a smile playing on his lips. He held her waist in his arms, feeling a warmth in his heart, and teased, "What? Still think I'm a ghost?"

"Or should I pinch you a few more times?"

At this point, Bo Ye added, "Or I can pinch you; if you feel the pain, you won't think you're dreaming."

Jiang Ruan was very clever; upon hearing this, she immediately curled her lip and said, "Are you taking this opportunity to get revenge?"

"how come."

"That's right." Jiang Ruan changed the subject, enduring her headache, and asked him with a wronged expression, "Why can't I get through to you on the phone?"

"I can't get through to Chen Nan either."

"I've called you so many times, but no one has answered."

Bo Ye coaxed gently, "There was a little accident. Someone snatched your phone and threw it into the pool."

Bo Ye didn't tell her about the kidnapping.

If she knew, she would definitely be shocked again.

Bo Ye knew her temperament.

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan immediately became nervous: "Are you alright? I heard that things are chaotic in South Africa."

Bo Ye said, "It's alright, it's all been resolved."

"What about the embassy? I called them, but they couldn't find your entry information at all. Besides, you left on the morning of the 18th. I thought you were on that crashed plane, and I thought you were all dead."

At this point, tears welled up in Jiang Ruan's eyes. She bit her lip, barely managing to hold them back.

Seeing this, Bo Ye felt a pang of heartache.

Under her gaze, she saw the man lower his head, his thin, crimson lips gradually approaching her face.

He actually kissed her eyes, or rather, her tears.

A bit salty.

Jiang Ruan subconsciously closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, letting him kiss her.

While kissing, Bo Ye explained.

"Our trip to South Africa is a secret."

"Only embassy officials at the ministerial level knew about this; those below them were unaware."

"Otherwise, if people in certain places find out about this, the danger to Chen Nan and me will increase many times over, which will also be detrimental to our work."

Jiang Ruan listened and finally understood.

She sighed mournfully, "So it was all a huge misunderstanding."

"I did it myself."

"But you can't blame me. It's just that all these things happened in a chain. Your phone just happened to be stolen and you couldn't get through, and the embassy couldn't find any information about your entry. So I naturally assumed that something had happened to you."

Bo Ye kissed away her tears, looked up at her aggrieved little face, and couldn't help but raise his hand to gently stroke her cheek.

His eyes were gentler than the lamplight, filled with heartache: "It's my fault."

"It's my fault for not contacting you sooner after I got a new phone."

As Bo Ye spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying, "I'm sorry, Jiang Ruan."
