Chapter 5 Ye Anran's Acid Tongue_1

Bo Youlin stared at the two people flirting, feeling a surge of jealousy burning in his chest.

And when he laid his eyes on the small bag in Bo Jinyu's hand, he was even more enraged!

This confirmed his suspicions that they were involved. When Bo Jinyu first walked in, he was already carrying that bag!

...

"Jinyu, come cut the cake!" From a distance, Qiu Liya cast a glance at her son, and smiled softly.

Lowering his head, Bo Jinyu looked at Ye Anran: "Shall we go together?"

"No, you go ahead." Ye Anran shook her head.

"Alright." Bo Jinyu nodded, not pressing her any further.

It was clear that she wouldn't be able to handle any more shocks at the moment.

He extended the little bag that he had been holding in his hand, towards her.

"Huh? How did you get this?" Ye Anran was taken aback to see that he was holding her bag. She thought for a moment. Had she left it in the bathroom?

"You left it in the restroom." Bo Jinyu elegantly smiled.

Ye Anran accepted her bag, and Bo Jinyu then walked towards Elder Bo.

...

Ye Anran picked up a glass of champagne, careful only to take a small sip this time.

On stage, the Bo family was cutting the cake. Bo Jinyu, tall and handsome, with his sharp eyes, thin lips curled in a smile, he radiated an aloof and noble charm which set him apart in the crowd.

He had inherited his mother's, the renowned actress Qiu Liya's, beauty. His features were finely contoured, substantially different from Bo Youlin's which is why Ye Anran didn't initially recognize him.

"Ye Anran, I can't believe how cunning you are, managing to catch the eye of Bo Jinyu!" Ye Rouxin's voice was filled with jealousy, and right now, she was jealously at its breaking point.

Seeing Ye Rouxin heading towards her, Ye Anran replied with a feeble smile and a snide remark, "My dear sister, do you think I could ever be as shrewd as you? You tried to snatch my boyfriend too!"

"That's because you're inadequate!" Ye Rouxin lowered her voice, glaring at her.

"Haha!" Ye Anran scoffed coldly, looking at Ye Rouxin and responded lightly: "Right, of course, something only a fierce competitor like you could pull off!"

Ye Rouxin's face turned black with rage, nearly biting her tongue in frustration: "Ye Anran, you're the real low life!"

Compared to Ye Rouxin's outburst, Ye Anran was surprisingly calm, with a serene look on her face she replied:

"Takes one to know one!"

"You, you..." Ye Anran's sharp tongue left Ye Rouxin speechless and infuriated her. Gritting her teeth, she seemed unable to outmatch Ye Anran. Suddenly a malicious thought crossed her mind and she sneered coldly: "Ye Anran, don't get too excited about piquing Bo Jinyu's interest! You'll have your day of tears!"

"Really? It's been years since I last cried, I'm genuinely looking forward to it!" said Ye Anran as she turned to leave, no longer acknowledging Ye Rouxin.

Her aloof demeanor left Ye Rouxin bitterly grinding her teeth in fury.

...

...

Such a banquet, truly had no appeal at all.

She had never been one for this kind of social gathering, but if it hadn't been for Bo Youlin's promise of a surprise, she wouldn't have been so eager to attend.

Little did she know, the surprise she was greeted with was a painful one.

She set down the glass.

Ye Anran left the banquet hall.

Upon seeing her slender figure leaving, Bo Jinyu put down his silver cake knife: "Mom, Dad, I'm going to step outside."

"Jinyu!" Qiu Liya exclaimed in frustration.

Facing his mother's scolding, Bo Jinyu merely gave her a soft smile, draped an arm over her shoulders, and said affectionately, "My beautiful mom, if you keep scolding me, your future grandson will be coming a little late to the world!"

"Are you serious?" Qiu Liya was somewhat surprised. Hearing her son's words, she looked up at him, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Yes, that's a possibility!" Bo Jinyu said with an elegant smile.

Before Qiu Liya could respond, he, like a gentleman, laid a kiss on his mother's beautiful face and left the scene.

Laughing helplessly, Qiu Liya was left both frustrated and amused.

Elder Bo sighed deeply as he watched his wife's smiling face.

His son was someone who could never be swayed by others.

...

Standing at the hotel entrance, she waited for a taxi.

At the end of spring, the evening air was still chilly.

She wrapped herself up as she felt a sudden chill.

When Bo Jinyu walked out, Ye Anran was somewhat surprised.

"Bo Xiaoshu, why are you here?"

"What, you plan to discard me now that you're done with me?" Bo Jinyu jested, his long eyes shimmering charmingly in the night.

"I didn't mean that; I just don't know how to repay you for everything tonight. But the banquet is not over yet, it's not good for you to leave now," Ye Anran hurriedly explained.

Bo Jinyu had truly been a great help tonight. Without him, she couldn't imagine how humiliated she would have been!

"It's simple, marry me!" Bo Jinyu teased, his eyes full of mischief as he instructed the valet to bring his car around.

"Marry... marry you?" Ye Anran stared wide-eyed, her face full of confusion. "Bo Xiaoshu, that joke isn't funny at all."

"Does my expression look insincere?" Bo Jinyu suddenly turned to her, gazing at her earnestly.

Ye Anran nodded awkwardly, "Very sincere! But marriage is too high a price to pay!"

The moment Bo Jinyu heard her words, his face lit up with laughter. This woman didn't know what she had in her hands; other women were fighting to marry him!

"Do you want to get back at those two?"

Why was he suddenly asking this, and grinning so wickedly?

Ye Anran felt like she must have heard him wrong.

She squinted her eyes, staring at Bo Jinyu as if he was some kind of monster.

He had an unassuming, noble smile playing on his lips.

"I have a great idea!"

Uh... Ye Anran's face bore the large text of bewilderment.

Bo Xiaoshu, what are you up to?

Aren't you Bo Youlin's uncle? You two don't seem to have any vendetta ...

However, she couldn't help but ask, "What great idea?"

In her heart, she must have wanted to exact revenge.

"Marry me!" Bo Jinyu said, his lips parted slightly, his eyes as gentle as jade, smiling at her.

At that moment, the valet brought the car up beside them.

Bo Jinyu took a step forward. His arm propped the car door open and he slightly bent down, effectively trapping Ye Anran between him and the car.
