h4Chapter 186: Chapter 172: I Want to Hold You/h4

"Little sister-inw, hasn’t Brother Bo told you about these things before?" Feng Meiling asked curiously.

Jiang Ruan shook her head, "No."

That’s why she asked her.

Jiang Ruan was quite curious about Bao Ye’s childhood, but she knew he didn’t seem very happy back then, and his parents’ rtionship wasn’t good, so she never asked him about it.

Finally, she met someone who knew about Bao Ye’s past. This only fueled Jiang Ruan’s curiosity even more.

"That’s true."

"Brother Bo is such a proud person, of course he wouldn’t want to bring up those unhappy past events."

Feng Meiling sighed, looking sincerely at Jiang Ruan, "In reality, sometimes we feel quite sorry for Brother Bo. We’re all children of wealthy families. Si Chen and I got away with it when we were growing up, and it’s only been the past few years that our families have put pressure on us. But it’s different for Brother Bo. He’s been pressured by Grandpa Bao since he was young, forced to mature before his time. Si Chen and I weren’t close to him when we were little because he simply had no time to y with us."

"Every time we saw Brother Bo, his face was always cold, looking very difficult to get along with. So although we grew up together, we weren’t familiar back then."

"It was only after we grew up that we slowly started to hang out together."

Jiang Ruan nodded, "I see."

At this point, Feng Meiling couldn’t help but ask her, "Sister-inw, how long have you been with Brother Bo?"

Before, Bao Ye never mentioned her presence in front of them.

Did they just get together this year?

Feng Meiling spected.

But then Jiang Ruan said, "Three years."

Feng Meiling was dumbfounded, "What? Three years?"

"You’ve been with Brother Bo for that long? Then why haven’t I seen you when I came here before?"

That shouldn’t be the case.

"Did you not live here before?"

Feng Meiling asked her.

Her shock wouldn’t subside.

She had thought they might have been together for at most half a year, but she didn’t expect it to be three years.

A thousand days.

Jiang Ruan is only twenty-four or twenty-five, which means she started dating Bao Ye right after graduating college.

Brother Bo sure knows how to keep things under wraps.

A hidden treasure, indeed.

Jiang Ruan felt a bit awkward and said, "We’re usually busy with work, and we haven’t spent much time together before, often apart."

"Do you love Brother Bo?" Feng Meiling asked, her ck eyes sparkling as she looked at her, grinning, "You definitely do, right? I think so too, otherwise, you wouldn’t willingly be the woman behind him for three years. I really didn’t expect it, Brother Bo usually seems so aloof and indifferent, like he’s not interested in women. I didn’t expect him to have someone like you hidden away in this vi."

Feng Meiling clicked her tongue twice, "But this fits Brother Bo’s character, truly surprising."

Jiang Ruan’s eyes showed someplexity, she replied, "Hmm."

She continued, "I’m not sure if it’s love, maybe it is, maybe it’s not."

"Why do you say that?" Feng Meiling was surprised.

Jiang Ruan gave a bitter smile, "We’ve never been loved, we don’t understand love."

"A lot of people don’t understand love, so what? But since you’ve been together for three years, there must be feelings." Feng Meiling apologized, "Am I being too straightforward? Don’t take it to heart, sister-inw."

"Not at all."

Jiang Ruan said, "I think you’re right."

"Sister-inw, I’ve known Brother Bo for so many years, and he’s never brought a woman to meet us. You’re the first."

"Just because of that, I think you’re the woman Brother Bo acknowledges from the heart, plus he didn’t even refute us calling you sister-inw."

Feng Meiling said, "Brother Bo might just be inexperienced in love, so he’s a bit slow to warm up, but he’s definitely a good person. And Brother Bo is the president of Bao Group, with money and power. There’s no one in all of Beijing who would dare to mess with him. Following him, you won’t suffer a loss."

Of course, Jiang Ruan knew that.

But her attention was caught earlier. She asked in surprise, "Bao Ye hasn’t dated anyone before?"

Feng Meiling replied, "Nope."

"Sister-inw, why are you asking like that?"

Jiang Ruan looked upstairs, then withdrew her gaze and asked her in a softer voice, "What about Su Wan then?"

"Aren’t there rumors online that they were childhood sweethearts, and that Bao Ye won’t date or marry because he’s waiting for her to return..."

She was interrupted by Feng Meiling, "What are you talking about, that’s all nonsense online, you can’t believe it, sister-inw."

Mentioning Su Wan, Feng Meiling frowned, "I know her, though I’m not familiar with her, but I’m quite close to her cousin. We all think Su Wan has a very strange temperament. Not many children from prestigious families get along well with her."

"Strange?" Jiang Ruan raised an eyebrow, "Why do you say that? I think she’s quite smart, capable, and an international movie queen,ing from a good family."

Hearing this praise, Feng Meiling suddenly understood andughed, "Sister-inw, could it be that you’re jealous of her?"

Jiang Ruan blushed slightly, "Don’t talk nonsense."

"Why would I be jealous of her?"

"Don’t worry." Feng Meiling grabbed her hand, "If Brother Bo had any interest in her, you probably wouldn’t be here. Besides, in our circle, apart from Brother Bo’s mom, no one thinks they’re a match."

"I said Su Wan has a strange temperament due to her personality; she’s very changeable, and herpetitive nature is particrly strong. This is somewhat like Brother Bo."

"Anyway, I don’t have a particrly good impression of her. Women who are too domineering are hard to like."

"And don’t be fooled by her gentle facade." Feng Meiling whispered mysteriously in her ear, "Actually, she’s quite flirtatious in private..."

After hearing this, Jiang Ruan waspletely stunned.

"But there’s one thing you can be sure of; as far as I know, Brother Bo doesn’t have any feelings for her at all."

Jiang Ruan’s eyes lit up immediately, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Jiang Ruan’s mood improved instantly.

Jiang Ruan loved gossip, and Feng Meiling had all sorts of gossip from the wealthy circle. The two of them chatted together for an entire afternoon without getting bored.

When Bao Ye and Si Chen came downstairs, they were met with this scene in the living room.

Jiang Ruan and Feng Meiling were curled up on the sofa, leaning against each other, holding a tub of popcorn, with Feng Meiling whispering something in Jiang Ruan’s ear, making herugh to the point of tears.

The living room echoed with theirughter.

Bao Ye: "..."

Hearing footsteps, Jiang Ruan collected her smile, looking up, she met the man’s dark, deep eyes, which were cold at the moment.

Why did he look unhappy?

"Little sister-inw, Feng Meiling, what are you guys talking about that’s making you so happy?" Si Chen asked.

Feng Meiling nced at him, "Why should I tell you?"

"Your curiosity is so strong; men should stay out of women’s affairs."

"You!" Si Chen’s temper red up immediately.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Jiang Ruan kindly intervened, "Little Si President, we were talking about gossip."

Si Chen snorted and told Feng Meiling, "You should take time to learn from sister-inw, look at her, then look at yourself, always acting like you’re filled with gunpowder, where’s your feminine side?"

Feng Meiling didn’t like hearing that.

The two of them started bickering again.

Jiang Ruan saw she couldn’t stop them, so she quickly left the scene.

Barefoot, she stood on the sofa.

Standing on the sofa, she barely reached above his head.

Hugging a tub of popcorn, she bit into it, her voice soft and sweet, "You guys finished working?"

Bao Ye, "Hmm."

His eyes were fixed on the popcorn at her fingertips, his voice raspy, "Is it good?"
