All of a sudden.
"We can get married."
Jiang Yaoyao thought she had heard wrong. "What did you say?"
Bo Jinlan looked at her. His expression and voice were warm, as if he was discussing today's weather. "I said, let's get married."
"I don't want to!" Jiang Yaoyao rejected it even faster.
She said quickly, like an endorsement, "It's just a one-night stand. Is there any need to be so serious? You're almost thirty years old. You can't be so uptight, can you? What era is it now? We're all adults. Do you have to marry me just because you gave me your first time? Please, it's all already over, hahaha..."
The room had fallen silent after the laughter had stopped.
Jiang Yaoyao lowered her head awkwardly and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.
So much so that she didn't see the flash of emotion under the man's eyes.
After a few seconds, she could hear Bo Jinlan's deep voice. "Okay, I'll shower first and take you back later."
Jiang Yaoyao didn't reply.
A rustling sound rang in her ears.
The man quickly got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.
Jiang Yaoyao quickly took off the blanket when she heard water running.
She wanted to leave this damned place immediately!
And then cut him off!
They would never see each other again in this life!
But——
"Bo Jinlan, you beast!"
He tore her dress!
How could she leave?
***
So when Bo Jinlan got out of the shower, he saw the girl still in the same position, crouched on the bed with the blanket tightly wrapped around her. Her beautiful eyes glared at him fiercely, and she looked so mad.
"You tore my dress. How am I supposed to wear it?" Jiang Yaoyao tried her best not to look down.
She was drunk last night and didn't see anything.
He just came out of the bathroom with a stunning sight. Jiang Yaoyao saw his well-defined, attractive abdominal muscles and perfectly sexy 'Apollo's belt.'
No wonder he was so brave last night.
It seemed like he had been working out.
After hearing what she said, Bo Jinlan was silent for a moment. "How about you wear my clothes first?"
He opened the wardrobe door next to him, which was full of a row of shirts, trousers, and suits inside.
Jiang Yaoyao was dumbfounded. "You still said you didn't mean it?"
This was his private room in this hotel!
This guy had planned this!
Bo Jinlan slowly took out a white shirt and began to wear it. "You said you wanted to go to a hotel, but I can't take you to messy places. It's safer for you to stay here."
"Safe my ass!" Jiang Yaoyao spat.
Why did she think he was so calm before? A man of honor? A gentleman? So holy and unattainable?
It was evident that he was an old pervert with evil intentions!
***
Bo Jinlan quickly got dressed.
He wore a white shirt, black suit pants, and a striped tie.
He was polite, kind, and clean but had a cold, ascetic look that kept women away.
Jiang Yaoyao recalled the wild and powerful side of him last night.
Her cheeks were inexplicably hot. Jiang Yaoyao bit her lip and suddenly changed her mind. "I want to shower! I want a new dress! I also want a set of skin care products!"
She felt uncomfortable and sticky all over. She didn't even take off her make-up last night. She wondered how he could kiss her like that.
Her skirt was torn, so she couldn't wear his clothes and go out.
"Alright." Bo Jinlan's voice was gentle. "Take a shower first. I'll get someone to buy it."
After saying that, he picked up his phone and went out to make a call.
Jiang Yaoyao sniffled aggrievedly and lifted the blanket.
When she got out of bed, one of her legs gave way and bumped into the bedside table. Her body was already bruised, and now there was a massive patch of dark purplish blue on her knee, which contrasted with her fair skin and looked frightening.
She struggled out of bed and then twisted into the bathroom.
She realized she was the first woman to stay there when she noticed the room was full of men's toiletries.
Jiang Yaoyao found herself oddly happy.
Damn it, you useless bastard!
***
The suite was lavishly decorated. In addition to the bedroom, there was a wholly equipped exterior living room with a workspace and a sitting area.
After Bo Jinlan finished the phone call, he glanced at the bedroom's tightly closed door. He raised his eyebrows, picked up his phone again, and clicked on some yellow software.
After finishing everything, he went to his desk and turned on his computer to work.
***
The driver, Li Jing, stood at the hotel's entrance downstairs. Finally, he saw a delivery man in a yellow uniform.
"Mr. Bo's order, right? Give it to me."
***
After entering the elevator, Li Jing picked up the takeout bag and looked at the attached receipt.
In the end, he was instantly dumbfounded.
Safflower oil!
Yunnan White Medicine!
Bruise and Injury Pain Relief Patch!
Despite his refined appearance, Li Jing didn't expect President Bo to be so brutal and intense behind closed doors. He even injured the little girl!
Damn, what a beast.
The old image of Mr. Bo completely shattered to the ground.
Although he complained, he still went upstairs. Then, he knocked on the door respectfully and handed over the bag. "President Bo, here is your order."
Bo Jinlan wore a well-ironed, custom-made shirt and black trousers with a long, elegant figure. "Wait downstairs."
"Okay, President Bo."
"Jinlan?" Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.
Bo Jinlan was slightly stunned.
The man who walked toward him in the corridor was...
Cheng Runzhi.
He was carrying a forensics toolbox and wearing a dark gray windbreaker. He was dressed in black and looked travel-worn.
He was also accompanied by a short-haired woman with a gentle appearance and outfit, like...
"Why didn't you go home?" asked Cheng Runzhi.
Bo Jinlan retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I didn't have time last night."
Cheng Runzhi didn't seem to think much about it. He looked at the woman and said gently, "Taotao, go to your room and rest first. I'll take a shower at Jinlan's place. I'll go back to the station for a meeting later."
"All right." The woman smiled. "Bye, Mr. Bo."
Bo Jinlan nodded slightly. "See you later, sister-in-law."
Cheng Runzhi was expressionless when he heard that address.
After the woman left, he carried his toolbox and tried to enter the room, but Bo Jinlan stopped him.
"What's wrong?" he asked with a frown.
Bo Jinlan said, "It's not convenient now."
Only then did Cheng Runzhi see that he was carrying two large shopping bags, which seemed to contain things for women.
They were all adults, so they naturally understood.
He didn't expect that Bo Jinlan's usual aloofness towards women was an act.
He had misjudged!
Cheng Runzhi turned around and suddenly stopped. "By the way, where did you send it to Yaoyao last night?"
Bo Jinlan paused for two seconds before replying, "Hotel."
"Didn't you tell her to go home? How come she stayed in a hotel? This girl." Cheng Runzhi immediately took out his cell phone to call Jiang Yaoyao.
Suddenly, a ringtone came from the room.
Bo Jinlan was speechless.
Cheng Runzhi looked inside, then at someone.
The man stood there with his back straight, his expression as calm and composed as ever.
"She didn't pick up. She's probably still sleeping." Cheng Runzhi hung up.
"Goodbye." Bo Jinlan smiled.
Who knew that just then, footsteps came from behind.
Immediately after, Jiang Yaoyao's angry voice rang out, "Bo Jinlan, you tore my bra! You bastard——"
She rushed out of the bedroom to see the door to her room wide open outside and two men standing in the doorway.
One was Bo Jinlan, this beast dressed as a human.
The other was….
Jiang Yaoyao was scared out of her wits. She turned around and wanted to run, but the man shouted in a loud and earth-shattering voice. "Stop!"
