Out of control and sinking

Hearing him say that, Jiang Ruan smiled sweetly and gave him a flirtatious look: "I look good no matter what."

"After all, I was born beautiful and have such a pretty face."

Jiang Ruan said, clicking her tongue as she spoke.

Not humble at all.

Bo Ye listened, a smile flashing across his dark eyes, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You're not modest at all."

Jiang Ruan hummed in response.

After applying her base makeup and setting powder, she looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh.

"Time flies so fast. We've finished filming so quickly. It feels like we just arrived yesterday."

Bo Ye raised an eyebrow and looked over: "What, you're reluctant to leave this wretched place?"

Bo Ye felt a deep disdain for this place.

It is not just a little bit behind the capital.

"That's not true."

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "It's all about sentimentality. I've had a great time with everyone, so of course I'll feel a little reluctant to leave."

Bo Ye replied, "Mm."

"I remember when we first arrived here, my god, looking at the desolate mountains and wilderness around us, Chen Jiao and I were dumbfounded. We felt like we were about to be sold," Jiang Ruan said.

Bo Ye listened quietly to her, watching her animated expression, and then continued, "But with so many staff members accompanying me, I'm not really scared. But if I had to come by myself, I would never come to a place like this."

"But if you stay here for a while, away from the hustle and bustle of big cities, you'll suddenly realize that this kind of rural life isn't so bad after all. What do you think?"

Jiang Ruan looked at the man leaning against the bed and asked, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

When asked, Bo Ye nodded expressionlessly: "Yes."

"maybe."

Jiang Ruan: "When I get old, I'll buy a courtyard in the countryside. No one will bother me. I'll grow flowers, vegetables, and cook. My main focus will be on health and wellness."

As she spoke, her little face was full of longing, and she didn't even glance at him.

Bo Ye: "..."

He didn't speak and received no response. Jiang Ruan herself lost interest in talking, so she couldn't help but pout and complain, "Bo Ye, you really have no sense of romance."

Bo Ye put down his phone, his dark eyes looking over, and their eyes met.

He uttered a few words from his thin lips: "That's not what you said last night."

“Last night was last night, I’m talking about now,” Jiang Ruan said. “Sex and life shouldn’t be confused. Details are very important, you know?”

Bo Ye said helplessly, "To me, they're all the same."

"..."

Jiang Ruan was about to defend himself.

Bo Ye said, "Your idea is good, I think it's great, but plans can't keep up with changes."

"With your fickle nature, today you want to live in the countryside when you're old, but tomorrow you might want to live by the sea. Can you guarantee that your thoughts won't change?"

Jiang Ruan shook her head: "No."

She bit her fingertip: "What you said seems to make some sense."

But she forgot that she had just applied foundation to her hands. When she smelled something strange, Jiang Ruan spat twice.

I got up to rinse my mouth.

After finishing her makeup, Jiang Ruan packed her luggage. Bo Ye sent two cars to pick him up first, and she rode in the second car. The two would meet up on the way.

To avoid attracting attention.

Before leaving, I ran into Li Xin at the hotel. She looked terrible, and two policemen were following behind her, giving her a strange and hateful glare.

Jiang Ruan was surprised; what had happened?

Jiang Ruan bumped into the director as she turned the corner and asked him a question. The director sneered, "You reap what you sow. Sun Yu's wife's accident was not an accident at all, it was deliberate. It was Li Xin and Sun Yu. Now Sun Yu has sued them, and Huang Hongcheng will probably go to jail. I've already made arrangements over there. Not many people know about this. It's all kept secret. No one will spread it, and it won't affect the show."

Jiang Ruan already knew about this.

Because it was she who told Sun Yu.

She also provided the evidence.

But the director didn't know.

Jiang Ruan feigned shock: "I never expected them to be so wicked."

"That's right. You can't see into someone's heart. To murder someone for money is to be punished by heaven."

"Alright, you're leaving now, right? Have a safe trip, Jiang Ruan."

The director smiled at her. He had a keen eye for this rising young actress and thought highly of her.

Moreover, she has Bo Ye backing her up.

The future is bright.

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Thank you, Director. I'll be going now. Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret."

"I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

Jiang Ruan reached out her hand, and the director, in a very gentlemanly manner, shook her hand in return.

The director nodded: "Okay."

Just then, a man coughed behind them: "Cough."

The two turned their heads and saw Bo Ye; the director immediately withdrew his hand.

She smiled humbly at Bo Ye: "Mr. Bo, I'm saying goodbye to Miss Jiang."

Everyone knows that Bo Ye is extremely possessive. Whether in or out of the entertainment circle, anyone he sets his sights on has to stay away.

That's how it is in one's career.

The director felt that women should be like that too.

Bo Ye's dark eyes were icy cold as he replied indifferently, "Oh."

Then, looking at Jiang Ruan, he asked, "Have you finished saying goodbye?"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Mm."

She was a little confused: "Didn't you leave first?"

Seeing them talking, the director wisely turned around and quietly left.

Bo Ye withdrew his gaze, stepped closer to her, and looking down at her because of the height difference, he said, "I've changed my mind."

"Let's go together." Jiang Ruan: "???"

He was completely stunned, feeling as if his blood had frozen and turned back. It took him several seconds to react: "W-Let's go together?"

Seeing her stunned expression, her little face blank, Bo Ye curled his lips and said, "What, do you have a problem with that?"

"Don't you want to come with me?"

"Do you still want to go and hug Dong Pengbo to say goodbye before I leave first?"

His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his words were tinged with mockery, but if you delve deeper, they become chilling.

Jiang Ruan shook her head: "No, not at all."

She clenched her fingers, meeting his eyes. His gaze was calm; he was never an irrational person.

Once she understood something, her red lips curved into a smile. She looked at his large hand hanging by his side, reached out her small hand, and hooked her fingertips around his little finger.

Bo Ye's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless.

The girl's sweet and soft voice rang in Bo Ye's ear: "Then let's go together."

And so, the two walked out of the hotel side by side, with the staff loading their luggage into the car behind them.

Actually, there wasn't much of a person at the entrance; everyone had either left or was packing up their things.

In addition, Jiang Ruan was wearing a black dress and a hat, so she was not recognized unless you got close.

Bo Ye was simply dazzling standing there.

It makes people subconsciously take a second look at him, as well as the girl walking beside him.

The Rolls-Royce left very quickly.

On the steps, someone rubbed their eyes and said, "My goodness, am I seeing things?"

"How come I saw Jiang Ruan and President Bo leave in the same car?"

What shocking revelation has she discovered?

—

Upon returning to Beijing, Bo Ye immediately took another car back to the company, where a ton of work awaited him.

Jiang Ruan went straight back to the villa, put away her luggage, and then went to the company to report for duty.

After not seeing Sister Qin for more than a month, the two greeted each other with a hug: "Baby, you've worked so hard. You look thinner."

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Really? Is it possible that I'm just naturally thin?"

Sister Qin chuckled and pulled her down to sit.

"The variety show was a great success. You're still in the top three trending topics online. The show is a hit, so your salary has naturally increased."

"After deducting the company's money, I've transferred the rest to your account. It's a considerable sum."

A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Ruan's eyes: "Okay, thank you, Sister Qin."

"Looks like I can go on a spending spree again."

Sister Qin raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of smugness.

"Truly worthy of being someone I trained."

"My dramas are huge hits, and even a small variety show gets so much buzz. The old guys at the company are so envious of me."

Jiang Ruan replied, "Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Sister Qin's excellent teaching."

"Without Sister Qin's careful guidance, I, Jiang Ruan, would not be where I am today."

At this point, the smile in Sister Qin's eyes faded slightly, and she said, "Wait for me a moment."

She got up, clicked a few times on the computer, and then came back.

Jiang Ruan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Sister Qin: "I turned off the surveillance cameras, so no one can hear us now."

"Jiang Ruan, tell me the truth."

"Is there something between you and Bo Ye?"

Sister Qin looked at her with a serious expression.

When suddenly asked this question, Jiang Ruan pursed her red lips, but finally nodded: "Yes."

She knew all along that the truth would eventually come out.

Since Sister Qin asked this question, she must know something, so she might as well just admit it.

"How did you know?"

Sister Qin laughed angrily: "Do you know who the guest on this show is? It's Su Wan, how did it suddenly become Bo Ye? Also, the way he looked at you on the show, it didn't look like a good friend at all. In addition, when you got the Bo Group's global spokesperson, I felt something was wrong. Even the Best Actress couldn't get the Bo Group's global spokesperson, how did you get it? So I asked someone to investigate. It would have been better if I hadn't investigated. Once I investigated, I found out that from your debut until now, many of the good resources that signed contracts with you and specifically asked for you were actually all backed by the Bo Group."

"Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan, you've been hiding it well."

Sister Qin snorted, getting angry.

The artist she poured her heart and soul into nurturing day and night actually already had a sugar daddy behind him.

How could she not be angry, mixed with heartache?

The entertainment industry is a place that devours people without spitting out their bones. Sister Qin used to think Jiang Ruan was just lucky, but now it seems she clearly gave everything, even herself...

Jiang Ruan blinked. Oh no, she knew everything.

She took Sister Qin's arm and said, "Don't be angry. I was wrong. Getting angry is bad for your health."

"When did you two start dating?" Sister Qin asked, taking a breath.

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment: "Hmm...it's been two or three years, hasn't it?"

Sister Qin: "..."

She gritted her teeth in anger: "Two or three years? I didn't even notice."

"You're really good at it."

"Oh dear," Jiang Ruan said, "you still found out in the end."

"Not too early, not too late, the timing is just right."

Sister Qin: "Don't give me that joking around."

She asked Jiang Ruan, "Tell me the truth, how has Bo Ye treated you these past few years? Has he been good to you?"

"You know the public's opinion of him in the industry. Isn't it said that he hasn't dated or married all these years because of Su Wan? How come he's with you now?"
