Out of control and sinking

Chapter 454

Bo Ye carried Jiang Ruan to the bar in the entryway and saw her pitiful appearance with red eyes, on the verge of tears.

Bo Ye immediately felt sorry for her and reached out to stroke her waist: "Did I hurt you just now, hmm?"

He said it, but he knew in his heart that he hadn't used any force at all.

Jiang Ruan sniffed and said domineeringly, "Apologize."

Her voice was soft, but her tone was anything but.

Bo Ye raised an eyebrow and looked down at her: "Are you sober now?"

She didn't reply, clearly she wasn't awake.

Her dark eyes looked at him with such a watery gaze that Bo Ye's Adam's apple bobbed violently a few times, and he went along with her, saying, "Okay, I'm sorry."

Bo Ye laughed and said, "If I don't do that, and you keep yelling, the whole floor will be awake."

Jiang Ruan ignored him, her head spinning. After drinking, she felt like the world was her oyster.

Bo Ye lowered his head, about to say something.

She let out a burp, spraying the smell all over Bo Ye's face.

Bo Ye: "..."

His obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness finally reached its limit, so he picked her up and headed straight for the bathroom. Jiang Ruan struggled, asking, "What are you doing?"

Bo Ye firmly suppressed his anger: "Be good, I'll take you to play in the water."

A few minutes later, Jiang Ruan was soaking in the bathtub, dress and all.

Most of her makeup had already been rubbed off.

Bo Ye casually used facial cleanser to remove it for her.

Jiang Ruan was like a doll in his hands, letting him do whatever he wanted with her. At first, she struggled, but then she slowly realized that he was Bo Ye, and that he was her man.

So he didn't move and let him be.

At three in the morning, the night outside the window was pitch black with a few stars.

Below is a night view of the city's iconic skyscrapers.

The wool rug next to the curtains was a complete mess.

The flat-cup plush quilt was soaked with sweat and became a complete mess.

The dark brown color further accentuated the snow-white skin of the mistress. Her slender fingers held the blanket, but the man grabbed her wrist, revealing the wild, prominent veins on the back of his hand as he forcefully intertwined his fingers with hers.

Her soft, lingering voice echoed her breath.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Finally, Jiang Ruan couldn't take it anymore, and the alcohol completely wore off.

She cried and begged Bo Ye for mercy.

Bo Ye's temples were covered in sweat, his jawline was taut, and he looked down at her like an unyielding warrior, his voice hoarse.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Call me husband."

Jiang Ruan called out, "Husband."

Those two words instantly brought tears to Bo Ye's eyes again.

He bit her ear: "Sweetie, this is the last time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan knew he was lying to her again.

The sound of crying, accompanied by a "p" sound, echoed throughout the living room.

*
Jiang Ruan slept in bed for the entire next day.

The curtains were drawn, and the bedroom was pitch black.

She didn't care whether it was day or night outside; she was exhausted and all she could think about was being sleepy.

I felt like I had been run over by a big truck.

Fortunately, no one called her, and she only replied to a few important messages on WeChat, ignoring everything else.

Jiang Ruan had never been so tired.

She had already cursed Bo Ye, that bastard, hundreds of times in her heart.

This is really going to be the death of her.

eight pm.

Bo Ye finished his work in the living room and turned off his computer.

He didn't go to the company today; he stayed here with Jiang Ruan.

After checking in the morning, he realized just how much he had gone too far last night, and Bo Ye was quite ashamed of it.

Bo Ye bought the medicine in the morning and gave it to Jiang Ruan.

She had porridge cooked for her, but she had no appetite and only drank a couple of sips before falling asleep.

Bo Ye checked on her at noon and found she was much better.

She refused to eat lunch no matter what.

And so it has come to this.

Looking at the time, and estimating that it was about time, Bo Ye picked up his phone and made a call to ask the servants to bring the meal over.

After hanging up the phone, Bo Ye went to the bedroom.

The bedroom was completely dark, so he reached out and turned on the light.

With a "snap," the bedroom lights up instantly, the bright light making Jiang Ruan's eyelashes tremble.

He tucked his head under the covers and went back to sleep.

But then Bo Ye's voice came from beside her: "Jiang Ruan?"

Having not eaten or drunk anything all day, Jiang Ruan's throat was parched and painful, and her reply was hoarse: "Mm."

Bo Ye frowned.

A few minutes later, Bo Ye gently patted her shoulder through the blanket and pinched her cheek with his fingertips: "Sweetie, drink some water before you sleep."

"Otherwise, your throat will hurt."

Jiang Ruan was truly thirsty. After hesitating for a moment upon hearing this, she opened her eyes.

The man's face immediately came into view. Jiang Ruan got up, wearing the silk nightgown he had given her.

I took the water glass and gulped down most of the warm water.

My throat feels a little better now.

Bo Ye took the water glass, placed it on the table, and asked her with concern, "How are you? Does it still hurt?"

"Let me see."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

They've been married for a long time, so she wasn't shy at all.

Let him inspect it.

A man's voice came from inside.

"Well, much better."

Jiang Ruan buried her face in the blanket and couldn't help but kick him with her foot: "It's all your fault."

But the man easily grasped her in his palm, and Bo Ye laughed, "Didn't you start this? Want to see my abs?"

Jiang Ruan denied it: "I didn't do that. How could I do that? You must be making it up."

Bo Ye clicked his tongue, but didn't mention that Sister Qin had also heard it.

Give her some face.

He gently rubbed her head with his palm, asking affectionately, "How are you feeling? Still uncomfortable?"

"I've been sleeping all day."

Jiang Ruan closed her eyes and said weakly, "Tired~"

"It felt like I was in a car accident. I was dizzy, my eyes hurt, my throat hurt, and my whole body felt uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Bo Ye felt even more heartbroken.

He gently massaged her temples with both hands, very considerately saying, "I had them make chicken soup and send it over, and I also cooked a few dishes. Eat some later and then go back to sleep."

Jiang Ruan enjoyed his service and said with her eyes closed, "I'm not hungry."

“How can you eat only a few mouthfuls of porridge a day?” Bo Ye said. “Eat less even if you’re not hungry, it’s good for your stomach.”

"Alright then, what time is it now?"

Jiang Ruan yawned lazily and asked him.

Bo Ye: "8:30."

Jiang Ruan opened her eyes and looked at the man in surprise: "I slept all day?"

Bo Ye smiled and said, "Otherwise what?"

"In three and a half hours, it will be tomorrow."

"That's all your fault," Jiang Ruan pouted. "I cried so much last night, and you still wouldn't let me off the hook."

Jiang Ruan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and slapped his arm: "You don't love me at all."

Bo Ye wasn't in pain. He held her hand, his dark eyes filled with a shimmering smile, his fingertips teasing her fingertips.

“Baby, have I ever told you?” “The more you cry, the more it stirs up the bad side of me, and the more I want to tease you.”

Jiang Ruan rolled her eyes, too lazy to talk to him.

The air was quiet for a few minutes.

Jiang Ruan suddenly remembered something and turned to look at him: "Didn't you go to the company today?"

"No," Bo Ye said. "There's nothing going on at the company, and my presence here won't interfere with my work."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

People are just different.

She was so tired that she lay in bed all day, feeling like a salted fish.

They're doing well, though; they can still work.

Thinking to herself, Jiang Ruan subconsciously reached out her hand, only to find that the spot where her ring finger should be was empty.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she sat up abruptly.

Bo Ye was also startled: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ruan stretched out her hand, but it was empty.

She glared at him: "Bo Ye, my ring is gone."

"It's that pigeon egg-shaped diamond you gave me, which is over twenty carats."

Jiang Ruan immediately panicked: "Could it be that I accidentally left it somewhere while drinking last night? Have you seen it?"

Bo Ye laughed in exasperation, putting his arm around her shoulder to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, you're not lost, you're right there."

He pointed to a large, eye-catching diamond ring lying on a table not far away.

When Jiang Ruan saw the diamond ring, her heart finally settled back into her stomach. She patted her chest and said, "That scared me to death."

"It's good that it's not lost. If it were lost, I would be heartbroken."

Bo Ye didn't care: "What's there to be afraid of? If you lose it, just buy another one."

That's incredibly extravagant.

Jiang Ruan: "..."

"That's different. This is the ring you gave me when you proposed. It has a different meaning."

Jiang Ruan climbed out of Bo Ye's arms, took the diamond ring, and put it on her finger as if it were a precious jewel. She touched it on the left and the right, cherishing it dearly.

"..."

Bo Ye looked at him with a deep, unsettling gaze.

Suddenly, I felt a little jealous of the diamond ring.

There was nothing I could do; he gave it to me himself.

Just then, Jiang Ruan leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

Bo Ye snapped out of his daze, his dark eyes fixed on her.

Their eyes met, and Jiang Ruan smiled shyly, saying, "Thank you."

Bo Ye frowned, about to speak.

Then I heard her call out again, "Husband."

Instantly, Bo Ye's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

He stared at her small face for a few moments, then raised his hand from his lap, hooked his fingertips under her chin, and returned the kiss.

The action is both domineering and romantic.

Jiang Ruan's eyelashes trembled slightly as she heard his magnetic voice gently whisper, "You're welcome."

Then, somewhat awkwardly, she uttered the two words she had been waiting for: "Wife."

This was the first time Bo Ye had called her that.

*
The next day, Jiang Ruan returned to work.

However, when Jiang Ruan opened Weibo, she realized just how popular she was.

It ranked number one on the trending search list.

Number one on the popularity list.

Number one on the celebrity list.

There are only four lists in total, and she ranked first in three and second in one.

The number of comments under her Weibo post increased many times over.

My private messages exploded.

Looking at the countless red dots, Jiang Ruan calmly clicked "read all".

When she arrived at the office, Sister Qin told her some news that was both good and bad.

That is, more than a hundred domestic and foreign brands have approached her to be their spokesperson and invited her to shoot promotional videos. They are willing to wait no matter how long it takes.

Jiang Ruan: "..."

More than a hundred, let's wipe her out.

Jiang Ruan asked Sister Qin how much she was paid for a single announcement.

Leave the more famous brands to those with more money.

The rest were all rejected.

Even if she worked herself to death, she couldn't film that many gigs.

However, Sister Qin said, "The brand said you can name your price, as long as you're willing to help them with the bidding."

“Honey, I’m in a real dilemma right now, because two-thirds of these hundred-plus brands are international big names, and most of them already have spokespeople.”

"I guess they terminated their contracts with their current spokespeople and wanted you to be their spokesperson because Bo Ye proposed to you."

Jiang Ruan frowned: "That's not good. If I really become their spokesperson, those who were suddenly dismissed by them will hate me to death."

Sister Qin: "That makes sense. Anyway, the decision is yours. It doesn't matter whether you film for the company or not, since it's not within your job scope anyway."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ruan said, "Help me post an announcement. I'll write the content and send it to you later."

Sister Qin: "Okay."

Two hours later, Jiang Ruan's official account issued an announcement.

First of all, thank you to the brands that like Jiang Ruan.

Then she politely declined to become their spokesperson.
Then he praised many celebrities in the entertainment industry, including several who were former brand ambassadors.

Anyone with eyes could see that Jiang Ruan's meaning couldn't be clearer.

This is saying that some brands are opportunistic and belittling.

This is indeed the norm in the entertainment industry.

But Jiang and Ruan's statement did cause quite a stir.

Those celebrities who were suddenly terminated from their contracts originally resented Jiang Ruan because of this incident, but Jiang Ruan's actions actually helped them, and many better brands sought to endorse them.

This left them both amused and exasperated, and they immediately felt grateful to Jiang Ruan, further enhancing Jiang Ruan's reputation in the entertainment industry.

That afternoon, Jiang Ruan was being interviewed on a TV program.

This interview program is a new product launched in the film and television industry. It mainly interviews popular celebrities about their life experiences or relationships, and then shares their best practices with everyone.

Jiang Ruan originally didn't want to participate, but since the organizer was a long-term partner of the company, she had no choice but to accept.

The interview was broadcast live.

Jiang Ruan couldn't see the live comments; she could only answer the host's questions.

But she's very smart. Therefore, the atmosphere at the scene was very lively.

After discussing their experiences after entering the entertainment industry.

The host suddenly changed the subject: "Jiang Ruan, could you share with us what your first meeting with President Bo was like?"

When asked about this topic, Jiang Ruan visibly paused for a moment.

My mind is also replaying our first meeting...

But that's definitely something I can't say.

She clenched her fists, her red lips curving into a smile, and said calmly, "It was at a banquet."

That was actually the second time we met.

"Did you communicate or have any contact at that time? What kind of person did you think Mr. Bo was in your eyes when you first met him?" the host asked.

Jiang Ruan said frankly, "No, at that time I was still a trainee who hadn't debuted yet, while President Bo was already the well-known president of the Bo Group. Given his status, it was impossible for us to have any interaction. Besides, I was quite timid back then."

"To describe what kind of person President Bo is," Jiang Ruan stuck out her tongue playfully, "I felt he was quite aloof back then, like someone you shouldn't approach."

"I see." Host: "So how did you and President Bo develop feelings for each other?"

"This is also a topic that our audience is very interested in. Could you share some information about it?"

Jiang Ruan couldn't possibly say that she had a huge debt at the time and that Bo Ye helped her pay it off.

If this gets out, her reputation will be ruined.

They'd be furious.

After a quick mental analysis, Jiang Ruan came up with a perfect answer: "It's fate."
