Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the quiet restaurant, the pair sat opposite each other.

A hardworking part-timer handed them two cups of coffee. Bo Ziqi did not even look at her before taking out two 100-yuan notes for her.

He took a sip. The taste was naturally not as good as coffee at home.

Su Ruanruan tousled her hair and asked softly, “What is it?”

Bo Ziqi put down his cup and went straight to the point. “I hope you won’t cause trouble for Jingyuan in the future.”

Su Ruanruan also took a sip of coffee. It tasted a little bitter.

She laughed softly. She naturally wouldn’t question him about why he didn’t want to listen to how Bo Jingyuan had made things difficult for her.

Su Ruanruan said calmly, “As long as she doesn’t provoke me, I won’t make trouble for her.”

Bo Ziqi was surprised that the other was so calm. She really wasn’t trying to make him like her at all! Was he not worth her effort?

For some reason, he was a little angry. “Since you want to stay, shouldn’t you give in to her?”

Su Ruanruan understood what he meant.

She stirred her coffee gently and said softly, “This is just a safe place for me to stay. I’ll definitely leave when you get married to Third Sister. Bo Ziqi…”

She looked up at him. “Don’t worry.”

Bo Ziqi pursed his lips tightly. After a moment, he said coldly, “You pretend in front of others. Why? Why aren’t you pretending in front of me?”

Su Ruanruan lowered her head and sighed, “Because you’re my third brother-in-law, not an outsider.”

Bo Ziqi was furious. He suddenly stood up and said, “You better know what’s good for you! If you do this another time, I won’t let it go.”

Su Ruanruan sat there and finished the rest of her coffee.

Just as she was about to leave, her phone rang. It was Bo Jingyan.

She did not dare to reject it.

Bo Jingyan’s voice was gentle. “Have you eaten?”

“I’m about to have my meal.”

In the office, Bo Jingyan unbuttoned his shirt and said in a low voice, “You’re not allowed to be with your second brother. Do you hear me?”

She was used to his domineering attitude. She brushed him off distractedly.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the other side. “Who are you calling, Jingyan?”

It was Bo Mingyuan’s voice.

“I’ll talk to you later.” Bo Jingyan hung up after saying that.

Su Ruanruan’s heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t help but feel that there was something gnawing at her heart.

…

In the office on the top floor of the Imperial View Corporation, Bo Mingyuan opened the door and saw his eldest son on the phone. He smiled.

The latter looked to be in a good mood.

Bo Mingyuan waited for him to hang up before asking, “You have a girlfriend?”

Bo Jingyan merely smiled and went over to pour a cup of coffee for his father. They sat down together before he said, “That was my assistant.”

“Then I have to meet your assistant.” Bo Mingyuan smiled and said, “She’s impressive! She can even make the CEO of the Imperial View Corporation speak so gently.”

He teased, “You can marry an assistant too.”

Bo Jingyan did not speak and continued drinking his coffee.

Seeing that his son wasn’t budging, Bo Mingyuan gave up and changed the topic. “How’s the new drug experiment going?”

Bo Jingyan showed him a document.

Bo Mingyuan flipped through it and was a little excited. “It’s really not bad. That assistant of yours is indeed quite capable.”

He looked at the data. At this rate, the new medicine would be successfully developed in no time.

Bo Mingyuan was in a very good mood. He said happily, “Jingyan, treat her well and don’t have such high standards.”

He flicked his cigarette. “Give her a house!”

Bo Jingyan smiled. “I’ll arrange it.”

Bo Mingyuan laughed and patted his son’s shoulder. “You’re still hiding her. Looks like your assistant’s really a lady.”

He didn’t care. He thought that Jingyan would keep her as a mistress at the very most even if he liked her..
