Out of control and sinking

Jiang Ruan turned her head to look, drawn by the dazzling fireworks that illuminated the entire sky. She turned back to find herself being embraced and danced with a man, whose soft voice said, "In previous years, the fireworks would start right at midnight, but this year they're a little late."

Bo Ye listened without changing his expression and simply hummed in agreement: "Perhaps you misread the time."

A smile flickered in Jiang Ruan's eyes. How could it be late? Considering what had just happened, what else could Jiang Ruan possibly do if she joined forces with others?

"Bo Ye, I feel like you've changed."

Bo Ye raised an eyebrow, looking down into her dark eyes, which remained calm and unreadable: "Why?"

Jiang Ruan smiled and leaned into his arms, dancing with him: "You rarely put in the effort to do these romantic things for me before. You would just give me anything that could be bought with money, and all I ever received were cold jewelry and bags. But things are different now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bo Ye suddenly spun her around.

Jiang Ruan reacted quickly and followed immediately.

"Don't you like it?"

Bo Ye smiled, looking at her with a half-smile: "Isn't it said that women like these things?"

"I like it."

"Like today's sea of ​​roses." Her dark eyes shone brightly as she looked at him. "I really like it, thank you."

Her expression was so sincere, like an innocent little white rabbit. Her gaze was filled with deep affection, without any calculation. Bo Ye couldn't help but fall for her for a moment.

But she quickly came to her senses: "If you like it, that's good."

Jiang Ruan continued, "I like anything you give me."

"Come to think of it, this is the first New Year I've spent with you." Jiang Ruan blinked and smiled. "It's still a bit unbelievable. I thought you wouldn't be with me this year either."

Bo Ye released her hand and instead put his arm around her waist. In the dim light, with only the brightness of the fireworks outside, the atmosphere inside became particularly ambiguous.

The two were so close together that they appeared exceptionally intimate.

The man's deep voice rang out: "I'll be with you from now on."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan looked up abruptly, thinking she was hallucinating.

"Huh?" She was a little stunned, but very obediently replied, "No need, after all, you're busy with your career."

"Celebrating the Chinese New Year is just a formality."

Bo Ye smiled, somewhat helplessly: "You can never finish your work, but once time is gone, it can never be turned back."

"Are all women so two-faced, huh?"

Jiang Ruan pouted: "Who's being hypocritical?"

She was clearly thinking of him, wasn't she?

"Actually, I'm already very happy that you said that."

Bo Ye said, "I, Bo Ye, will always do what I say."

"I said I'd be there for you, and I will be there for you. Breaking my word isn't my style."

Jiang Ruan felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but suppressed a smile and said, "Alright then."

"Tsk, looks like I'll have to spend every year with you from now on."

Bo Ye laughed: "What, besides me, who else do you want to spend your life with?"

When asked this question, Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment, and her emotions instantly became a little depressed. She bit her lip and said, "That's right, there are no more relatives of mine in this world."

Besides him and Lu Jie, who else could she spend her life with?

Everyone has a home.

Only she and Lu Jie didn't have it.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ruan couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Bo Ye hadn't expected this to be brought up so suddenly. His sharp brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the undisguised disappointment on her face and whispered, "Jiang Ruan." (End of Chapter)
