Out of control and sinking

Jiang Ruan bit into a wafer biscuit, her lips naturally radiating sweetness.

Is it the honeymoon phase?

Hmm... that feels pretty good.

"Oh right, Bo Ye proposed to you. It's a done deal for you two now. Has he introduced you to his mother?" Sister Qin was organizing the documents when she suddenly remembered this. "Although his mother isn't a good person and used to pick on you, Bo Ye is still her only son. Unless she doesn't want him anymore, she can't just stand by and do nothing about her son's marriage, can she?"

When Xu Yun was mentioned, Jiang Ruan showed no expression: "Haven't met him yet."

“Bo Ye and she don’t get along well, and now they’ve fallen out over some things. I guess she doesn’t want to see me either.”

After finishing the cookies, Jiang Ruan reached for a tissue to wipe her hands: "But Bo Ye said that when he comes back, he will take me to the Bo family's old house, to the ancestral hall to see their ancestors and his grandfather, saying that this is the Bo family's custom."

"After we meet, we should get our marriage certificate."

When it came to getting their marriage certificate, Jiang Ruan couldn't hide the happiness on her face; her lips were practically stretched to her ears.

After receiving their marriage certificate, she and Bo Ye were legally recognized as husband and wife.

We're family now.

"Oh, oh, oh." Sister Qin sighed, "Look how happy you are."

"Time flies so fast. It feels like just yesterday I saw you again, and you were still that innocent and adorable little girl. Today you're getting married and becoming someone's wife."

Sister Qin couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Jiang Ruan laughed and said, "It's okay. Even if we get married, I'll still be your artist, and you'll still be my manager."

Speaking of this, Sister Qin told her, "No matter whether your husband is rich or not, a woman must have her own career and not become disconnected from society."

"Especially since Bo Ye comes from such a good family, there are so many women in the capital who are eyeing him that they could practically stretch out of the city. You absolutely cannot have any thoughts of being a full-time housewife, understand?"

Jiang Ruan agreed and nodded: "I know, I'm the kind of person who can't sit still. I'd be bored to death if I stayed at home all day doing nothing. I'm career-minded."

"The revolution is not yet successful; we must continue our efforts."

Hearing this, Sister Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's best if you think that way."

“Look at those wealthy wives in Beijing. Many of them were so happy when they first married into the family. They would show off this today and that tomorrow. All they did every day was go shopping and play mahjong. After a while, they became nagging. They had nothing else to do but stare at their husbands. But men hate women like that the most.”

"As time goes on, men get tired of what they have at home. They find that the girls outside are pretty and sweet-talking. What man doesn't like to be praised and admired? So they slowly go astray and have affairs."

"I'm not saying that President Bo will turn bad and cheat on you in the future. Don't think like that. I really respect President Bo's character," Sister Qin said. "I just want to tell you that women need to be independent, self-loving, and strong. Life is long, and who knows what will happen in the future? What others have is not what you have. Only what you have yourself will never be lost, understand?"

Faced with Sister Qin's earnest advice, Jiang Ruan nodded: "I know, Sister Qin."

She said sincerely, "Thank you."

Jiang Ruan's eyes were full of tenderness: "From the time I started following you until now, you have really taught me a lot of important lessons."

Sister Qin chuckled: "You're implying that I'm being nagging. I can't help it, getting older brings this habit; I always want to share more of my experiences and what I've learned with you, so you can avoid these kinds of situations as much as possible."

“No,” Jiang Ruan said with a smile, “I didn’t say you were nagging. I learn a lot from talking to you about these topics every time. Besides you, no one else talks to me about these things.”

This is the truth.

"Why does this sound so sentimental?" Sister Qin looked at her tenderly and took her hand. "In my heart, our relationship has long surpassed that of manager and artist. I consider you my own younger sister."

"Thank you," Jiang Ruan said sincerely.

Sister Qin patted her hand: "Don't be so polite with me."

"Then you'll probably be very busy next, going to the Bo family ancestral hall with Bo Ye and getting your marriage certificate. You'll have to hold an engagement banquet first, right?"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Yes, I've discussed it with Bo Ye. We both like French style, so we're planning to find a hotel to hold an evening party."

"it is good."

Seeing Qin Jie's hesitant look, Jiang Ruan simply asked directly, "Is there something you need, Qin Jie?"

"Here's the thing, the director who worked with you before contacted me recently. He said he has a new TV series script, and the female lead's character is a good fit for you. It's a modern drama, and he wants you to play the role. I've read the script, and it's indeed very good. Moreover, the original author of the novel is also very famous and has his own fan base."

"But the filming schedule is a bit tight; it's estimated that filming will start in about three months."

"This is another major life event for you, which is definitely more important than acting. I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle it, so I haven't replied to the director yet. I wanted to ask for your opinion first."

Hearing what Sister Qin said, Jiang Ruan pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't joined any film crews since after the New Year. Apart from filming a few variety shows, I really don't have anything worth mentioning."

"If we don't start filming in the fall, it will be too cold in winter and there won't be any good scenes. This year will just pass by like this."

Sister Qin: "Yes."

"That's what I think too. This drama is really good, and you're paired with some of the most popular A-list stars, which will greatly help you get a better billing. Anyway, the director told me that you're his first choice, it just depends on whether you accept the role or not. If you don't want to take it, I can help you turn it down."

Sister Qin spoke tactfully, but she was indeed considering Jiang Ruan's perspective.

Jiang Ruan understood, and she was also a little conflicted: "There are only three months left before we start filming, right?"

"Yes, we'll be joining the production team at the end of August. This drama will be filmed in just over two months at most."

"It will premiere just before the Lunar New Year, coinciding with the winter break, so the ratings will definitely be much better than usual."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan didn't hesitate any longer: "I'll take it."

Her dark eyes were clear: "Three months is enough time for me to handle things here. My career can't be delayed. Besides, it's not easy to find a good script. Since you all say it's suitable for me, then I'll film it."

"I don't want to disappoint my fans either, because I don't have a single representative work this year."

Seeing that she agreed, Sister Qin's eyes were full of surprise: "Okay, then I'll go and tell the director now."

Sister Qin went to get busy.

Jiang Ruan took a break for a while, then went to check today's schedule and make preparations.

By the time I finished a long day of work, it was already past nine o'clock at night.

Back at the villa, the servants prepared a sumptuous dinner. Jiang Ruan drank pork rib soup and ate some fruit.

Then I went upstairs to take a shower.

Feeling refreshed after her shower, she combed her soft, long hair and looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was fair and smooth, and she was very satisfied.

Not only are Jiang Ruan's fans obsessed with looks, but Jiang Ruan herself is also obsessed with looks.

Besides being obsessed with looks, she's also obsessed with hands and abs.

Since she had some free time, Jiang Ruan gave her hands a hand mask treatment, making them look soft and smooth.

Jiang Ruan was very satisfied. She took the body lotion and went to bed in the bedroom.

I was applying makeup to my legs when a video call came in.

The desktop ringtone sounded, and Jiang Ruan raised an eyebrow.

At this point in time, it's easy to guess who it is.

I got out of bed and picked up my phone; the word "husband" on the screen was particularly eye-catching.

A smile curved her lips as Jiang Ruan answered the video call.

"Hey."

"Aren't you busy now?"

The other end of the video was brightly lit, and Bo Ye's face appeared on the screen, dressed in a black suit.

Formal and gentlemanly.

Judging from the background, it's in an office.

Bo Ye also looked at her; she wore a pink silk nightgown, revealing her fair swan neck, and her long hair was draped over her chest, making her look obedient and charming.

The man's eyes darkened, and he replied, "Mm."

He asked her, "Did you just take a shower?"

Jiang Ruan looked up, smiling, "How did you guess?"

Bo Ye said, "Intuition."

"You guessed right. I just got back from the company. I was covered in sweat and smelled terrible. I'll take a shower as soon as I get home."

Jiang Ruan complained as she put her phone down and continued with her own work.

I chatted with him: "Have you eaten?"

Bo Ye looked at her long hair fluttering in the camera lens and raised an eyebrow: "I ate it."

"What are you doing? Exercising?"

Jiang Ruan exclaimed, "Ah! No, what kind of exercise would I do so late at night?"

She raised her hand and held up the body lotion for him to see.

"I'm applying body lotion."

Upon hearing this, Bo Ye's dark eyes instantly darkened. Staring at the screen, he licked his thin lips, his voice even more magnetic than before. "I'll wipe it for you when we get back."

Jiang Ruan's ears burned, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she asked him, "Is there anyone with you?"

Bo Ye raised an eyebrow: "No."

To prove it, he even took out his phone and shone it around.

Jiang Ruan leaned over her phone, looking at him with a smile, and teased, "Are you sure you're just going to help me apply body lotion and not do anything else?"

The girl's soft voice carried an invisible allure.

The two hadn't seen each other for several days.

It would be a lie for Bo Ye to say he didn't miss her; his eyes were filled with Qingying, and he couldn't even sleep well at night without her by his side.

"Dry……."

Bo Ye licked his lips, his eyes shimmering as he stared intently at her, then uttered a single word: "You."

Two words, concise and straightforward.

Jiang Ruan's cheeks flushed instantly upon hearing this, and she glared at him angrily: "You rascal."

Bo Ye chuckled: "I'm only a rogue to you."

"What, you don't like it?"

Jiang Ruan, holding her phone, lay on the bed with her long hair draped over the soft sheets, and deliberately mimicked his voice: "It's not true that I don't like it."

Bo Ye curled his lips: "Tsk."

"You've already learned it?"

“Of course,” Jiang Ruan said. “I’m just following my husband’s lead.”

Bo Ye liked hearing this.

Lying alone on the large bed in the bedroom, Jiang Ruan looked at the man and couldn't help but ask, "How's it going on your end? When are you planning to come back?"

A smile flickered in Bo Ye's eyes: "What, missed me?"

Jiang Ruan stubbornly replied, "It's alright."

"Everything is going smoothly, but there are still some details to finalize, so we'll probably have to stay here for another week."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan's eyes widened in surprise.

"what."

"It'll take another week."

I thought he would be back in two or three days at most.

He's been gone for ten days now.

That makes a total of seventeen days.

It's been more than half a month...

Hearing the sorrow in her words, Bo Ye's mood immediately improved, and his tone became much lighter.

"I'll try to speed things up and finish this work here as soon as possible so I can go back."

With the office empty, he looked away from Qingmu and teased her with a smile, "You missed me so much, darling?"

He emphasized the word "baby" heavily, which was incredibly flirtatious.

"I didn't." Jiang Ruan rolled around on the bed twice and snorted, "Who misses you?"

"I feel like something's missing when you're not home, especially at night. I'm not used to sleeping without holding you."

Jiang Ruan concluded: "So it's all your fault."

Bo Ye chuckled in exasperation. Why was he being blamed again?
But it has indeed become a habit.

Not only her, but him too.

"You only want me to hold you, didn't you think of anything else?" Bo Ye teased her, his voice drawn out.

The intention is self-evident.

Jiang Ruan's ears burned even hotter, and she replied instantly: "No."

"Tsk." Bo Ye said, "Replying so quickly, it seems I was right."

He picked up his phone and brought it closer to himself.

Jiang Ruan looked at his handsome face, his hair styled with hair gel, and from this angle, he looked incredibly dashing.

This reminded Jiang Ruan of a time when they were together, and he was also at this angle, but his expression wasn't so calm.

Jiang Ruan vividly remembered his emotional expression.

Composing herself, Jiang Ruan bit her lip and asked him sweetly, "And you, have you missed me?"

Bo Ye answered bluntly, "Yes."

"I think about it not only when I'm sleeping at night, but also during the day when I'm in meetings or eating. I'm thinking about finishing my work here as soon as possible so I can go back and... do a."

Jiang Ruan listened very carefully to what was said earlier.

Unexpectedly, things took a sharp turn at the end.

Men's words are blunt, so don't be too direct in your meaning.

Jiang Ruan couldn't take it anymore; her face flushed red with embarrassment as she called out to him, "Bo Ye!"

Then, in a very low voice, he said, "Could you please not be so blunt?"

Really are.

She was embarrassed by what she said.

A low chuckle came from Bo Ye's ear: "What can't you say to your own wife?"

"Is that too straightforward, baby?"

Jiang Ruan covered her face; her cheeks were burning.

Are you shy?

Bo Ye asked, his tone quite surprised, "Why are you still so thin-skinned?"

Jiang Ruan let go of her hand and retorted angrily, "Not as thick as yours."

The more she thought about what he had just said, the more her face flushed and her heart raced. She tossed and turned in bed a few times.

She ran her fingers through her messy hair and gritted her teeth as she commented on the man, "Bo Ye, you're so mean."

Bo Ye listened, only looking at her with a smile in his eyes, without refuting her.

Just as I was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock down."

"Mr. Bo, are you there?"

A woman's voice came from outside.

Naturally, the news reached Jiang Ruan's ears as well.

Knowing that he was busy with work, Jiang Ruan tactfully said, "Then you go ahead and do your work, I'll hang up now."

But Bo Ye said, "No need."

Jiang Ruan: "???"

"Do you expect me to watch you work?"

Bo Ye chuckled lightly: "Don't you want to?"

Jiang Ruan didn't say anything, but muttered to herself that she really did want to.

Anyway, she can't sleep right now.

Then Bo Ye said, "Come in."

The joking tone he used when talking to her was gone.

Revert to the previous indifference.
