Out of control and sinking

Leaning against him, Jiang Ruan felt a strong sense of security, even though she was blind and deaf, unable to see or hear.

The rich scent of cologne on her nose was his, the warm, familiar chest was his body temperature, and she had become accustomed to everything about him.

Bo Ye put his arm around her waist and was about to close his eyes.

He heard her soft, tender confession in his ear: "Bo Ye, I love you."

Five words, clear and easy to hear.

The man suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at her. She had her eyes open, but since she couldn't see, she pressed her face against his chest.

But Jiang Ruan could clearly feel his heartbeat quickening.

The pulse was strong and powerful, like a water pump, vibrating her eardrums.

Pressed against his chest, the sensation was exceptionally strong, and Jiang Ruan's lips curved into a faint smile.

Although it was unusually quiet around her, she still couldn't hear anything, but the constant rise and fall of her chest was his response.

A warm sensation came from her forehead, and Jiang Ruan's eyelashes trembled slightly; it was his lips kissing her.

A gentle pat on the back, as if soothing her to fall asleep quickly, warmed Jiang Ruan's heart and made her feel incredibly happy. She soon fell asleep.

Little did she know, Bo Ye had been watching her the whole time.

Hearing her steady, powerful breathing, Bo Ye's dark eyes flashed with light, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

the next morning.

Bo Ye was still half asleep when he felt someone making a fuss in his arms. He was a light sleeper; he would wake up at the slightest sound.

Not to mention Jiang Ruan's mischievous hand touching his lips, and that hand also occasionally brushing against her chin.

A tickling sensation came over him, and Bo Ye opened his eyes, staring at her with slightly narrowed pupils, his voice hoarse with sleepiness. He took her hand: "You're bothering me so early in the morning? Hmm?"

His voice was so hoarse it was unrecognizable.

With a drawn-out tone, a natural deep voice, magnetic and somewhat irritating to the ears.

"I didn't provoke you." Jiang Ruan chuckled and was about to pull her hand back: "I just noticed your beard has grown."

Bo Ye chuckled in exasperation, not believing her hastily made-up lie: "I just shaved yesterday, where would it grow back?"

Lying will be punished.

He gently stroked the tip of her upturned nose with his fingertip.

"How do you want me to punish you?"

Jiang Ruan exclaimed, pouting her red lips, and said with dissatisfaction, "I've only just recovered and you're already punishing me? You're so mean."

Looking at him, her dark eyes shone brightly, as dazzling as obsidian.

Where is the same gloomy and lifeless look from yesterday?

And her expression, her words.

Bo Ye was jolted awake, suddenly realizing what was happening. His voice trembled with uncontrollable joy. "You can see? You can hear?"

Jiang Ruan nodded and stuck out her tongue: "Mmm."

"Twenty-four hours have passed, and the effects of the medication have worn off. I never imagined that such a drug existed in South Africa; I've truly learned something new."

Jiang Ruan said this with a smile in her voice.

But when Bo Ye heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He said with a sullen face, "We'll go back to China this afternoon."

Jiang Ruan's eyes widened: "Huh? Did you finalize the cooperation agreement with them?"

Bo Ye said, "The contract has been signed. The remaining details can be handled by the lawyer."

With his arm around her shoulder, Bo Ye looked at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, Jiang Ruan, I failed to protect you."

He gently stroked her hair with his palm: "I'm sorry you were frightened."

It would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid.

His apology made Jiang Ruan's nose sting and her eyes redden.

She said, "You don't need to apologize to me. Bo Ye is all Tokugawa Rui's fault."

"He's a lunatic, a pervert."

Jiang Ruan gritted her teeth and cursed, "By the way, where is he? Isn't this considered kidnapping me? Can we sue him? I want him to pay the price."

Bo Ye said in a deep voice, "Although the surveillance footage shows you being knocked unconscious and taken away, Tokugawa Rui was not seen at all. But don't worry, I have already avenged you."

"Huh?" Jiang Ruan's eyes widened in shock. "You didn't kill him, did you?"

"Bo Ye, that's illegal, you can't..."

“No.” Bo Ye said coldly, “I broke his legs and hands, and also broke more than a dozen of his ribs. Even if you find the best doctors in the world, he can forget about walking and living a normal life for the rest of his life.”

"He was a useless person with no ability to live a normal life his whole life."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan showed no sympathy whatsoever; instead, she vented her anger fiercely.

"He deserves to be a useless person."

“Evil will be punished. He harmed so many people, and almost harmed me too. This is his retribution.”

But Jiang Ruan was still worried: "Won't that family cause you trouble?"

Bo Ye: "They won't."

"Families in South Africa don't care about kinship; everything is about profit. Especially since Tokugawa Rui is now a cripple, at most he can just show off and demand some compensation. But I've already had people gather evidence of all the trouble Tokugawa Rui has caused in various places over the years and sent it over." Bo Ye sneered, "If that stuff gets out, Tokugawa Rui will be dead a dozen times over. His entire family will be scorned by the whole world, and their stock will be severely affected and plummet. They can't afford that kind of loss."

Jiang Ruan's eyes sparkled, filled with tenderness: "That's good."

Bo Ye didn't tell her that he was determined to take Tokugawa Rui's life.

Once his family completely rejected Tokugawa Rui, they abandoned him like a useless person.

Someone will get rid of him without anyone noticing.

Bo Ye never considered himself a soft-hearted person, much less someone who was merciful or soft-hearted.

His hands, from the time he took over the Bo family until now, have accumulated countless virtues for people.

But it was also stained with a lot of blood.

But he clearly distinguishes between good and evil, and his blood is stained with the blood of the lowest of the low, the most unjust people who bring disaster to the world.

Even if Tokugawa Rui were to harm Bo Ye, Bo Ye wouldn't be so angry as to want him dead.

But ironically, he targeted Jiang Ruan.

With the noise subsiding, Jiang Ruan leaned against Bo Ye's chest, her delicate fingertips gently tracing his pale skin.

After a long pause, she suddenly asked him, "If—I mean if I don't have time to bite my tongue and kill myself, and Tokugawa Rui really sleeps with me, will you abandon me?"

Bo Ye replied without hesitation, "No."

Jiang Ruan pouted, somewhat disbelieving: "But I'm already dirty."

"With your severe germophobia, how could you possibly want a woman who has slept with someone else?"

The implication is, don't lie to me.

But then Bo Ye asked sternly, "You don't believe what I'm saying?"

"Jiang Ruan, since we met, when have I, Bo Ye, ever said anything to flatter or deceive you? Think about it carefully, has it ever happened?"

His deep voice carried a hint of anger, yet he remained excessively calm, his face utterly expressionless, making it difficult to discern whether he was truly angry or simply resentful.

Jiang Ruan's throat was slightly dry. She thought for a moment and replied dryly, "No."

“That’s it.” Bo Ye pulled her slender waist closer to his chest and said, “I do have my germaphobia, but don’t forget, Tokugawa Rui harmed you to get revenge on me. I was the one who hit his people, and I was the one who plotted to swindle him out of 80 million. I did everything, but in the end, it harmed you and made you the scapegoat. I, Bo Ye, should feel guilty towards you.”

"I'm the one who dragged you down, causing you to suffer such misfortune. If I were to turn around and despise you, then I, Bo Ye, would be the most disgusting and shameless man in the world, deserving to be scorned by everyone..."

Before Bo Ye could finish speaking, Jiang Ruan reached out and covered his lips: "You're not allowed to insult yourself like that."

She is distressed.

Moved, Jiang Ruan's eyes were already red.

Bo Ye pulled her small hand down with his large hand and said in a sharp voice, "Remember this: if you can't protect your woman and let her suffer grievances, humiliation, or harm, then you are a useless man."

"If I'm useless and then turn around and despise you for the harm you suffered because of me, that's the greatest incompetence."

"From ancient times to the present, women have always been the most vulnerable group, especially compared to strong and healthy men, and they are always the ones who get bullied."

"But Jiang Ruan, there's something you need to remember clearly."

"I have a phobia of germs. Your body and your soul can only belong to me, Bo Ye. You are my woman, Bo Ye. But if things come to a head, your most important priority is to save your own life. Because in my heart, you are more important than your body. It's you, understand?"

Their eyes met, and Bo Ye's dark eyes stared intently at Jiang Ruan.

He explained every logical point clearly, laying out every line of reasoning with her.

Only in this way can the knot in her heart be completely untied; otherwise, given her sensitive and suspicious nature, she will definitely continue to think the wrong way.

Bo Ye has experienced different things every day over the years, and he has seen this kind of thing before.

Her worries were not unfounded.

He has personally witnessed men who, without feeling any remorse, let their women sleep with other men because of them, and instead curse the other man as shameless and discard him like trash.

Such a person is truly scum.

As a man, he is incompetent, causing women to suffer, and in the end, he still stands on the moral high ground to punish women.

Such a person deserves to go to the eighteenth level of hell after death.

So when he pushed open that door and saw Tokugawa Rui pressing down on Jiang Ruan...

Bo Ye was consumed by thoughts of killing Tokugawa Rui, avenging her and clearing her name of the humiliation she had suffered.

But he never considered whether she was virgin or whether he still wanted her.

As she thought about it, she heard Jiang Ruan's tearful voice: "Bo Ye, sob sob sob..."

Jiang Ruan opened her arms, avoiding the wound on her wrist, wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her face in his chest, and cried uncontrollably.

She choked up and couldn't say a word.

All I could do was cry.

But Bo Ye could sense her grievances and all her emotions.

"Be good, stop crying."

Bo Ye gently stroked her hair with his palm and patted her back, soothing her with tenderness and patience: "You're still injured. If you cry any more, you'll look like a little kitten."
