Out of control and sinking

Chapter 22 So what are you, a hooligan?
A girl's soft voice drifted over, as if she was playing some music, which was a bit noisy. Bo Ye sat on the sofa in the bedroom, his long legs stretched out casually, looking lazy and relaxed, with a slightly tired expression, holding a half-smoked cigar between his fingertips.

He took a puff, and the smoke swirled around him.

The man responded, "Mm."

I was just about to ask her what she was doing.

Jiang Ruan happened to have placed her phone on the table, and her hands were wet, so she was afraid of getting water inside the phone.

This brings us closer to Bluetooth speakers.

The singing then clearly reached Bo Ye's ears.

"...If you're going to marry, marry Gray Wolf. He's a role model. Women are like flowers, they can't withstand storms..."

What kind of lousy song is this?
Bo Ye's face darkened slightly. Thick fog and dark clouds coexisted, and a coldness appeared on his calm and composed face. If you're going to marry, marry Gray Wolf.

Who is Grey Wolf?
"Turn off the music."

The man's command came through, cold and deep, brooking no argument.

Jiang Ruan didn't hear clearly: "Huh?"

"What did you say?"

It seems he told her to turn off the song?

What business is it of his that she's listening to music?
Hearing her confused question, Bo Ye said, "It's too noisy."

This time, Jiang Ruan heard it clearly.

Well, what can you do when he's the big spender?

Jiang Ruan pouted; she had quite a few demands, but she still raised her hand to pause the song.

"Isn't that better now?"

Silence returned to his ears, and Bo Ye's furrowed brows relaxed as he replied, "Mm."

Leaning against the sofa, his long, slender arms were casually draped over his shoulders.

He smoked a cigarette and asked casually, "Did you text me this afternoon?"

The voice was as flat as it could possibly be.

It's as if I'm stating something completely ordinary.

Jiang Ruan played with the bathwater with her slender, soft hands, her cheeks flushed from the steam, and her pouting lips were playful and cute.

She said, "Yes, I was just posting it casually when I was bored. You just saw it, right?"

"That's true. President Bo is so busy with work that he doesn't have time to look at his phone."

That's a sarcastic remark.

Bo Ye took a deep drag on his cigar, then bent down and stubbed it out in the ashtray. Only when the crimson color gradually disappeared did he let go.

He exhaled a puff of smoke, holding his phone in his left hand and rubbing his tired temples with his right fingertips. Even relaxing after a long day of tension didn't feel good.

It's rare for him to explain, "I'm busy today."

“I know.” Jiang Ruan chuckled as she listened: “You’re not just busy today, you’re busy every day.”

"Big bosses don't look at their phones 24/7."

Bo Ye: "..."

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. You're a big boss, it's only right that you're busy with your business. If you don't do anything, your employees will all go hungry."

As Jiang Ruan was speaking, Bo Ye suddenly asked, "What are you doing?"

His keen hearing seemed to detect the sound of water over there. Could she be taking a shower at this hour?

Sure enough, the girl's words confirmed his guess.

"Let's take a shower," Jiang Ruan said.

"I have to film tomorrow, so I need to go to bed early after I shower."

Whether it was intentional or unintentional on her part, it is unclear.

The sound of water on the other end of the phone grew louder, splashing and falling repeatedly.

It was as if it was teasing his heart.

Bo Ye's Adam's apple bobbed violently, his dark eyes instantly dimmed, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the phone bulged.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered the nights of the past two days...

Thinking of her delicate figure, seemingly thin and frail, she actually had a great figure.

A classic example of clothes that make you look slimmer, t/clothes have/r!
Her skin was fair, a bright, luminous white.

I don't know how she takes care of herself.

She looks like a porcelain doll.

For the fragile ones, just pinch or squeeze them gently.

It will turn red.

Especially right after a shower, she looks like a ripe peach, radiating allure.

It was precisely this woman who made him infatuated with her so madly. They had only been apart for less than a day, and now he was already madly missing her.

Bo Ye licked his dry lips, his dark eyes gleaming with barely concealed desire. His voice was hoarse: "Seduce me, huh?"

His voice was languid, magnetic, and low-pitched.

It's like a subwoofer, making your ears itch.

Especially the last word.

The deliberate drawling of the voice was both teasing and seductive. When it reached Jiang Ruan's ears, she nearly choked on her own saliva. Without a second thought, she retorted, "I didn't."

"You just happened to call me at this exact moment. I didn't seduce you. You're overthinking it."

Bo Ye gave a soft "heh".

He leaned back, his thin lips curving into a smile.

Laughing and joking.

"Making such a racket just to let me know you're taking a shower, isn't that just seduction?"

"What's wrong? Haven't I satisfied you these past two days?"

"!!!"

What kind of rabid/tigerish language is this?
Jiang Ruan couldn't listen anymore.

She blushed with embarrassment and annoyance: "Bo Ye!"

When called by his full name, the man showed no anger and responded softly, "Mm."

If you weren't used to it at first, you're used to it now.

Except for the woman on the other end of the phone.

Looking across the entire capital, who dares to call him Bo Ye by his full name?

Even Bo Ye himself didn't realize that when facing Jiang Ruan, his bottom line was gradually being lowered for her.

Jiang Ruan retorted, "That's not gentlemanly at all!"

Doesn't he consider himself a gentleman?

He always complained that she wasn't ladylike enough.

Is this the kind of thing a gentleman would say?
But Bo Ye said slowly and confidently, "To you, I am not a gentleman."

It started with our first time together.

The word "gentleman" has become irrelevant to him.

"Then what are you, a hooligan?" Jiang Ruan pouted, bluntly interrupting his thoughts.

Bo Ye's face darkened instantly, and he gritted his teeth: "Jiang Ruan!"

Who are you calling a hooligan?

Bo Ye was so angry with her that it hurt him to breathe.

Damn it.

In all my years, no one has ever dared to say that about him.

"Isn't the derogatory term for 'gentleman' just 'hooligan'?" Jiang Ruan said. "If you're not a gentleman to me, what are you if not a hooligan?"

He really is a scoundrel.

She kept finding new ways to cause trouble.

Jiang Ruan's leg is still hurting.

"You're calling me a hooligan, aren't you?"

Bo Ye's eyes burned with anger, as if he were challenging her. Holding his phone, he said in a domineering tone, "Believe it or not, I'm coming over right now and showing you what a real thug is like?"

Jiang Ruan was originally quite arrogant.

Anyway, he wasn't around. Based on her understanding of him, Bo Ye wasn't the kind of petty man who would block her out just because he was angry.

That's why she dared to be a little more unrestrained.

But when she heard he was coming, Jiang Ruan immediately cowered, losing all her backbone: "No, no, no."

"I was wrong, Mr. Bo. Please forgive me, Mr. Bo!"

"It's already this late. It takes several hours to get here from Beijing. Don't bother going back and forth. Don't come here."

Oh my god, what if he really comes?

Will she even survive tonight?

We're filming tomorrow.

Jiang Ruan wanted to cry. Sure enough, if you don't court death, you won't die, sob sob sob.

She's such a coward.

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, sob sob sob..."

Hearing the crying beside him, he couldn't tell if it was real or not. After all, this woman was an actress, and acting was her forte. But Bo Ye frowned.

Is he that scary?

It was as if going back to him would cost her her life.

Bo Ye originally just wanted to scare her.

Tomorrow will be even busier than today, and even if he wanted to go, he wouldn't have the extra energy.

She was still crying.

Bo Ye, annoyed, interrupted her coldly: "That's enough!"

"Stop with your act."
