5, Bo Jinlan is simply not up to par!

A few minutes later, Jiang Yaoyao sat on the sofa in a hotel robe, undergoing an interrogation.

Her long black curly hair was still dripping water, but she didn't dare to wipe it away...

The soundproofing of the room was too good, she hadn't heard any noise from outside before, otherwise she would have never rushed out!

Having a one-night stand discovered by an elder was embarrassing enough, but what was even more mortifying was that her one-night stand partner was a friend of the elder...

Cheng Runzhi narrowed his eyes, his face slightly haggard from an all-night autopsy, and his tight features gave him an air of cold severity.

"How do you explain this?" he tossed his phone onto the table.

With a "slap", Jiang Yaoyao jerked in fright.

"I will marry Yaoyao," Bo Jinlan declared, causing Jiang Yaoyao to shake again.

Cheng Runzhi's voice was cold, "You want to take responsibility..."

"No," Bo Jinlan said calmly, "We've actually been dating all along."

Jiang Yaoyao: "???"

Obviously incredulous, Cheng Runzhi asked, "Then what's the deal with Xie Jinran?"

Bo Jinlan remained unruffled, "She agreed to Xie Jinran's pursuit to deliberately provoke me."

Jiang Yaoyao again: "???"

Cheng Runzhi scoffed, "Yaoyao went to Sea City three years ago, you were in the capital, she was in Sea City, how did you manage to date?"

Bo Jinlan was unflustered as ever, "Video calls, phone calls, or WeChat."

"Then why hide it?" Cheng Runzhi pressed him for answers.

Bo Jinlan: "That was Yaoyao's idea."

Jiang Yaoyao: "??????"

Why was this guy always throwing her under the bus?

Cheng Runzhi turned to her, his tone harsh, "Have you gone mute?"

Jiang Yaoyao blinked rapidly, "It was my idea! Because… three years ago he started pursuing me, but I was only seventeen then, underage, how could I be dating early? Plus, he was 9 years older than me, in my eyes, just a creepy old man! How could a blooming beauty like myself fancy such an old man whose light is almost burnt out? But he shamelessly pursued me, saying he couldn't live without me, resorting to crying, making scenes, and even threatening suicide... Uncle, you know, a brave woman fears a persistent man, so we got together after my college entrance exams ended. We didn't tell you because he's too old, and we were afraid you wouldn't agree."

Come on, let's hurt each other!

Bo Jinlan: "......"

Cheng Runzhi frowned, "Is that so?"

How come he never noticed that Bo Jinlan turned out to be such a devoted pleaser?

When Jiang Yaoyao took her college entrance exams, he was entrusted by the elder to oversee her academics, but he had some personal issues at the time... so he asked Bo Jinlan next door to tutor her.

So that rascal's true intention in playing the tutor was to chase after his niece?

No wonder he agreed so readily back then!

Cheng Runzhi sighed once again, lamenting that he had been shortsighted, entrusting his duties to the wrong person...

Jiang Yaoyao, meanwhile, hung her head, not daring to look at a certain someone.

It took a while before she heard the man utter a low "hmm".

For Cheng Runzhi, it was the first time in his life dealing with a younger relative's romantic affairs, his brows tightly knit, "This is so sudden, I need to take some time to think. For now, I'm going back to the station for a meeting."

Crisis averted!

Jiang Yaoyao hurriedly waved her little hand, "Goodbye, Uncle! Take care, I won't see you out!"

Cheng Runzhi: "..."

Once the man had left, Bo Jinlan handed her two shopping bags.

Jiang Yaoyao began to inspect them.

One bag contained a full set of skincare products from a well-known brand.

The other bag held a pink turtleneck long-sleeve dress, including underwear, everything was complete.

She sneakily checked the size...

It was a perfect fit!

Just how experienced must one be to know her size so precisely?

Jiang Yaoyao immediately looked up and glared at him.

Bo Jinlan raised an eyebrow, "Don't like it?"

"This dress is too ugly, isn't it? And these skincare products..." Jiang Yaoyao scoffed in disdain, "This set is suitable for women over forty, I'm only twenty this year!"

"The assistant bought these," Bo Jinlan said, looking at her delicate, fair face, "Next time, I will buy them for you personally."

His voice was calm, his expression emotionless, but somehow, that last sentence...

Mysteriously made her feel as if she had been flirted with?

Jiang Yaoyao glared at him hard, "It's all your fault! Why did you have to rip my clothes? Are you some kind of pervert?"

Bo Jinlan, unpacking a takeout bag with slender fingers and clean features, replied, "Your clothes were too difficult to undo."

Jiang Yaoyao: "???"

Is this your reason for tearing my clothes?

Just say you were in a hurry, why don't you!

In less than a day's time, she found her understanding of him constantly being refreshed, even more so than what had accumulated over the previous years!

Bo Jinlan took several medicine boxes out of the delivery bag, looked at them, and opened one to hand it over.

Jiang Yaoyao's face was wary, "What's this now?"

Bo Jinlan said warmly, "When you got out of bed earlier, you hit your leg, and then there are those on your body..."

!!!

"Looks like you're pretty experienced," Jiang Yaoyao chuckled, "You must have bought these for other women before, right? Jerk!"

After speaking, she haughtily turned around and walked into the bedroom, slamming the door shut with a "snap".

Bo Jinlan: "......"

**

Jiang Yaoyao quickly dried her hair and changed into fresh clothes.

With an unadorned, beautiful face, she straightened her back, clutching only her phone as she walked straight out without a sideways glance.

Bo Jinlan stood up, "I'll take you..."

"No need, I'll take a cab!" she said proudly, followed by another "snap" as the door closed behind her.

...

In the opulently luxurious hallway.

Jiang Yaoyao grimaced in pain as she bent over, rubbing her legs.

So sore, so painful...

She hadn't expected the usually gentle and refined Bo Jinlan to be so rough last night...

He was nothing but a facade!

...

After going downstairs, Jiang Yaoyao, not feeling reassured, first went to a nearby pharmacy to swallow some morning-after pills, then hailed a cab back to Shengting Hotel.

On the way, she picked up her phone.

Rich Ladies' Late-Night Chat Group:

Jiang Yaoyao: [Babies, I'm back in Haicheng!]

Song Niaoniao: [So soon?]

Duan Fei: [What happened last night afterward?]

Jiang Yaoyao: [You still have the nerve to mention last night? Smile.jpg]

Duan Fei: [Cough cough...]

Song Niaoniao: [Your uncle is really too scary wuwuwu...]

Jiang Yaoyao certainly didn't blame them, after all, when Cheng Runzhi got serious, even corpses could be scared back to life...

After some thought, she started typing: [Last night, I slept with Bo Jinlan!]

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

Duan Fei: [!!!]

Song Niaoniao: [Holy shit, you actually got him?]

Duan Fei: [Interview, what's it like to sleep with a male god?]

Song Niaoniao: [Bo Jinlan's face is so handsome, his figure must be great too, right?]

Duan Fei: [With his quality as a top-grade man, he must be incredible in that aspect, Yaoyao, you really scored big!]

Jiang Yaoyao: [Ha, Bo Jinlan is totally useless!]

Duan Fei: [???]

Song Niaoniao: [What do you mean?]

Jiang Yaoyao typed furiously: [I mean, he's like a little kid, the underdeveloped kind, get it?]

These two were her high school classmates, and although she had left the capital city for a few years, the three of them had always been in good relationship—with the most important point being that they were all very gossipy!

Just let these words out, and...

Jiang Yaoyao smiled wickedly.

**

Upon arriving at the hotel, Jiang Yaoyao quickly returned to her room to pack her bags and prepare for her getaway.

The doorbell suddenly rang.

She had thought it was hotel housekeeping, but upon opening the door she found Bo Yunxi standing outside.

"I knew you'd be here." Dressed in haute couture and carrying a designer bag, Bo Yunxi was exquisitely and elegantly adorned from head to toe, "The great Miss Jiang Family, back in the capital but with no home to return to, staying in a hotel—it's just too funny!"
