Out of control and sinking

Chapter 294 Tomorrow's Cultivation

Jiang Ruan silently calculated in her mind how long it would take him to answer her; it was a full two minutes.

Outside, it was freezing cold, but inside the villa it was as hot as midsummer. The purple silk camisole accentuated the woman's slender figure, a blend of girlishness and womanhood.

Jiang Ruan withdrew her hand and stood beside him. The man looked down at her, and she tentatively asked in a soft voice, "Is something on your mind?"

Bo Ye replied calmly, "No."

He turned his head and looked out the window: "Perhaps I've been too busy with work lately."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan thought about how he had been leaving early and returning late lately, and even when he slept with her, she would wake up in the middle of the night to find her bedside empty.

She got up to look for him and found him working in his study.

That weary, lonely profile.

It was deeply imprinted in her mind.

Jiang Ruan felt a pang of heartache for no reason. She didn't understand: "Actually, you don't have to work so hard."

"The Bo family is already very powerful, and you have already reached the pinnacle of power."

What else could make him so obsessed?

Then Bo Ye let out a soft sigh, as if it were mixed with many emotions. He turned around and met her puzzled gaze, a smile flashing in his eyes.

“I used to think that one day the Bo family would become the number one group, and then I could relax.”

"But the reality is far from that."

He raised his right hand, adorned with Buddhist prayer beads, and like a deity, lifted her chin, his fingertips kneading and caressing her soft skin.

"The more this is the case, the stronger we must become."

"Because I bear the honor and disgrace of the Bo family on my shoulders, as well as the tens of thousands of employees under its umbrella."

“If they are willing to follow me, I will be responsible for them and make them stronger, not only in terms of salary but also in terms of personal ability. Even if they leave the Bo family one day, they will be elite talents in any company. At that time, they will be people who came from the Bo family.”

Bo Ye's tone was very calm, so calm that one could not discern his personal emotions, yet one could still sense his pride and self-satisfaction.

Jiang Ruan pouted: "It seems being a boss isn't so easy."

She pulled his large hand down, took his soft one, and intertwined her fingers with his. She looked up and said, "Having to think about everything is too tiring."

Her hands were soft and small. They were intertwined. Bo Ye gazed into her bright, dark eyes, clear as spring water, his eyes filled with tenderness.

The man's thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his Adam's apple bobbed slowly.

He chuckled softly, "No, the truth is that you not only don't feel tired, but you also feel satisfied."

"It's like playing a video game; every time you level up, you feel a sense of excitement."

Jiang Ruan pouted: "Alright then."

Bo Ye asked her, "How have you been lately? Are you busy with work?"

Jiang Ruan: "I'm not busy. It's getting cold, so I don't need to join any film crews. I just occasionally shoot commercials and take on some gigs."

As she spoke, Jiang Ruan glared at him, pouted, and asked, "By the way, do you think I've gained weight?"

"When I went to the company today, Sister Qin actually said I'd gained a lot of weight and told me to lose some time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fit into my dress for the company's year-end party!"

Bo Ye glanced at him from head to toe, his gaze finally settling on a certain spot. He smiled and said, "Looks like you've gained some weight."

Jiang Ruan immediately bristled: "How is that possible!"

"I haven't eaten any high-calorie foods lately, not even hot pot, just one barbecue meal. How could I have gained weight?"

She asked him angrily.

Actually, Sister Qin was joking with her. She just had nothing else to talk about and wanted to find something to chat about with him.

But I absolutely will not accept him saying she's fat!
Staring at him with her round eyes and seeing her huffy expression, Bo Ye thought she looked like an adorable Persian cat.

With a playful smile, he lowered his head, whispered a single word in her ear.

Jiang Ruan was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Realizing what she'd just said, she blushed, gritted her teeth, and angrily shouted, "Bo Ye!"

"That's enough!"

Bo Ye stepped back and saw her glaring at him with flushed cheeks. He chuckled and said, "I'm just stating the facts."

"Don't you feel that N sizes run small?"
