Out of control and sinking

Chapter 40 Lu Jie Advises to Break Up

Lu Jie's cooking skills are truly excellent; her four dishes and one soup completely won over Jiang Ruan's stomach.

Lu Jie cooked the meal, so Jiang Ruan naturally had to wash the dishes.

Seeing a big star with ten million followers on Weibo now standing in the sink, washing dishes with gloves on, Lu Jie rested her chin on her hand and smiled.

"Having a big star like you standing here washing dishes for me is such a waste!"

"If this gets out, your fans will skin me alive."

Jiang Ruan chuckled: "Big stars are human too, not gods."

Although Jiang Ruan doesn't usually do any work, Bo Ye has so many servants to take care of her.

But that doesn't mean she won't.

When she first started school, she had no money, so she did all sorts of jobs, from serving dishes to washing dishes.

After washing the dishes, Jiang Ruan washed her hands and snuggled up on the sofa with Lu Jie, eating fruit and chatting.

Lu Jie rented this apartment several years ago. It's not a big place; it's just one bedroom, one bathroom, and a small room.

But Lu Jie made it look very cozy.

"How have you been lately? Is work tiring?" Jiang Ruan asked, biting into a watermelon, her bare face showing a pure and playful charm.

Lu Jie sighed, "Sigh, no job is easy, but it's okay, I'm used to it."

"You've been on set for so long, filming every day must be exhausting."

"You've lost weight."

Jiang Ruan stuck out her tongue: "It's alright, I'll just consider it a way to lose weight."

When best friends get together, they chat about all sorts of things and gossip.

Lu Jie asked curiously, "How are things going with you and your CEO Bo lately? You've been together for over three years, haven't you two ever thought about going public?"

This is such a naive topic.

Jiang Ruan choked on the choking gas; she coughed, and her face turned red.

"Take it easy." Lu Jie quickly patted her back and handed her water.

Jiang Ruan drank some water to calm herself down, blinked, and said, "What's the point of going public? Our relationship has always been something we can't make public."

Jiang Ruan, munching on watermelon, said carelessly, "Isn't it good as it is?" "Good what?" Lu Jie protested, feeling indignant on her behalf. "Do you know how unfair this is to you? You've been with him for so many years, and you don't even have a proper title. Do you know what this would be called in the past…?"

Jiang Ruan remained calm and quietly added, "Mistress."

Lu Jie was even angrier: "You actually know that?"

"You're so stupid, you've been sold out and you're still helping them count the money."

Lu Jie was furious with her.

Jiang Ruan put down her fork and coaxed, "Okay, I know you mean well, but some things can't be done the way you want them to be. Besides, I'm a big star now, and I'll definitely become more and more famous in the future. It's taboo for celebrities to be in relationships."

"You're just making excuses for him," Lu Jie interrupted, her eyes reddening. "Is he just trying to keep you hanging like this because he doesn't want to go public?"

Jiang Ruan's red lips twitched, but she didn't speak.

She didn't know what to say.

Is it public?
It's not that I haven't thought about it.

But it was no use. What did it matter if they were together for three years? They were sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.

She could never fathom Bo Ye's thoughts.

Perhaps she was a mistress.

He never said he loved her.

She herself wasn't even sure if she held a place in his heart.

Not to mention making it public.

Should I hang her up? I don't think so.

It was always something she did willingly.

Jiang Ruan smiled bitterly to herself.

"Why don't you break up with him, okay, Jiang Ruan?" Lu Jie held her hand and advised, "You're beautiful and a big star, you can't find any man you want."

"So what if Bo Ye is the president of the Bo Group? If he doesn't want to go public with you, it means he doesn't love you. He's just weighing the pros and cons. Aren't there people online saying that he has a childhood sweetheart, an actress who is now abroad? He hasn't gotten married or dated for so many years just to wait for her to come back. I think that woman's name is Su Wan."

"Have you ever thought about what you would do if Su Wan came back one day and Bo Ye really repeated the same mistakes as her?"
