15 14. Be Good at Home

Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

Jiang Yaoyao secretly looked up.

Although she had not been in the capital for the past few years, she had seen a lot of news about Bo Jinlan.

He had a stunning face blessed by the heavens and the most desirable family background. The media consider him the last elegant gentleman in high society because he was always gentle and elegant whenever he appeared in public.

The truth was his performance had always been in line with this character.

For example, at this moment, he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He had always been spotless and gentlemanly, even if his words were somewhat harsh.

However, his expression was gentle. When the morning light fell on his attractive and warm face, paired with that shallow smile, he became even more appealing to the sight.

Nevertheless, Jiang Yaoyao had experienced his cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness three years ago. She had long known that this man had a warm expression and a cold heart. Maybe he was also cold-blooded, and that smile was just a mask.

"Mr. Bo, it's a misunderstanding." Xie Jinran's mind raced as he faced the man's gentle but oppressive aura. After clarifying things, a light sweat broke out on his forehead.

After hearing the explanation, Bo Jinlan raised his eyebrows slightly. "So you didn't want to get back together with your ex-girlfriend."

Jiang Yaoyao looked confused.

Xie Jinran quickly stated, "Mr. Bo, my feelings for Yunxi are sincere."

"In that case." Bo Jinlan narrowed his eyes slightly. "I suggest you go home and ask Yunxi why you guys broke up."

Before Jiang Yaoyao could figure it out, Xie Jinran came to a realization. "I understand. Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Bo."

He quickly got into the car and left.

Jiang Yaoyao quickly asked, "Why did Bo Yunxi break up with Xie Jinran?"

Bo Jinlan frowned. "How do I know?"

Jiang Yaoyao's eyes widened. "Didn't you ask him to go home and ask? I thought——"

"Won't he know why when he asks?"

Jiang Yaoyao was flabbergasted.

What on earth was that?

Xie Jinran was indeed a big fool….

Compared to her speechless expression, Bo Jinlan casually placed his hands in his suit pocket with a lazy and leisurely posture. "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold wearing such thin clothes?"

After yesterday, Jiang Yaoyao consciously stopped thinking too highly of herself and instead asked, "What are you doing here?"

Bo Jinlan smiled a little. "What did you say?"

As expected! Jiang Yaoyao glared at him. "Even if it's for acting, did you have to come and find me? You almost got caught, you know?"

Bo Jinlan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he smiled faintly. "What do you mean?"

"It means that we can just act it out in front of Grandpa and Uncle, but we're strangers in front of everyone else, okay?"

A stranger?

Bo Jinlan narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Jiang Yaoyao's nose scrunched, and she looked at him with little eyes. "Don't tell me you regret helping me?"

Bo Jinlan looked at her and continued to remain silent.

Because she was in a hurry, the young lady dressed casually and wore no makeup. Her waist-length black curly hair was unruly and thick, which set off her small, oval, and chubby face, which was white and delicate, without a single flaw.

The morning sun shone on her face, and her eyes were light-filled. They were bright and beautiful, like exquisite dolls in a shopping mall display case.

Bo Jinlan's eyes darkened. Suddenly, he turned around and walked back.

"Bo Jinlan, what are you doing? Say something! What exactly do you mean?"

They entered a fruit shop by the roadside.

Jiang Yaoyao said inexplicably, "Do you want to eat fruit?"

Bo Jinlan looked down at her. "Didn't you say a friend came to give you something?"

"That's right. We'll be exposed again if we go back empty-handed!" Jiang Yaoyao giggled and started to flatter him, "Thank goodness I have you! As expected of the CEO of Bo Yuan Corporation! President Bo, you're so smart!"

Bo Jinlan seemed at a loss for words.

Ten minutes later, the handsome, elegant man returned with a giant watermelon to the villa.

"Is this a gift from Yaoyao's friend?" Old Master Cheng touched the watermelon and looked around.

Jiang Yaoyao nodded her head vigorously. "My friend's relative specially bought watermelon as a special treat from their hometown, and it's exceptionally sweet."

Old Master Cheng smiled. "Your friend is thoughtful."

Cheng Runzhi couldn't believe it.

Wasn't this just an ordinary Kirin Watermelon?

They sold it at the entrance of the neighborhood.

But he tactfully chose not to speak.

***

It was getting late, and Bo Jinlan still had to go to the office. He put down the watermelon and went upstairs to get his coat.

Jiang Yaoyao went to eat breakfast.

Her grandfather sat at the side and watched her eat while chatting.

"I asked your uncle to book a flight back to Haicheng on the 7th."

"All right." Jiang Yaoyao smiled. "Then I'll stay home to accompany Grandpa for the next few days."

"It's rare for you to come back, so you should go and meet some of your friends. Grandpa isn't such a stingy elder."

"I know, Grandpa."

When she was full, Jiang Yaoyao stretched her arms and slumped lazily. "I am so full."

Old Master Cheng frowned. "Yaoyao, you're a girl. Pay attention to your image. If Jinlan despises you again later…."

"He dares!" Jiang Yaoyao raised her chin proudly. "He's the one who chased after me, okay? I still think he's old. He's nine years older than me and can even be my uncle."

"Cough cough!" Cheng Runzhi suddenly coughed.

At the same time, footsteps came from the stairs.

Jiang Yaoyao quickly sat up. She puffed out her chest and raised her back, sitting upright.

Cheng Runzhi was dumbfounded.

Old Master Cheng couldn't hold back his laughter. The moment her boyfriend came, she immediately acted obedient!

Bo Jinlan wore a well-ironed, custom-made suit, and his tie was meticulously tied. He looked handsome, noble, and elegant.

When he arrived at the front of the dining room, he smiled. "Grandpa, I'll go to the office first."

Old Master Cheng was all smiles. "Remember to come over often when you're free."

"All right." After Bo Jinlan finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yaoyao.

Jiang Yaoyao blinked. Before she could react, the man had already walked towards her.

He reached out his hand and caressed her head a few times. His voice was gentle and affectionate. "I'm going to work. Be good at home, okay?"

Jiang Yaoyao's mind suddenly went blank.

"Pow!" Cheng Runzhi, who had been silent all this while, threw down the newspaper and turned to go upstairs.

It made Old Master Cheng laugh out loud.

***

Ten minutes later, in the bedroom on the second floor.

Jiang Yaoyao sent a WeChat message : [Can you not act so exaggeratedly?] I was so scared that I almost exposed myself again!]

The Scumbag : [I'll improve next time.]

His attitude of admitting his mistake was not bad, but….

Jiang Yaoyao snorted and started typing : [There won't be a next time! Please don't come to my house for the next few days. Just tell Grandpa if you're busy. When I return to Haicheng, I'll find an opportunity to tell him we broke up. Also, I'll send you the total amount of money for yesterday's gift and the watermelon just now.]

After sending the message, a call suddenly came in.

"Hello?" Jiang Yaoyao answered.

"Is this Miss Jiang?" The gentle female voice sounded familiar. "I'm Yunxi's mother. I want to treat you to a meal tonight. Is it convenient for you, Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Yaoyao raised her eyebrows slightly. After thinking for a moment, she agreed. "Sure, why not."

"I'll send the address to your phone later. Miss Jiang, let's meet at the restaurant tonight."

"Goodbye."
