“You!” cried that person in shock.
Sis Hua picked up a document from the desk and left while pushing that person out of the room.
However, someone else soon came in and took a big stack of documents with him, leaving behind a small pile.
Just like that, many people were coming in and out of Mo Jiangye’s office during the entire time he was having his meeting. Most of these people seized this chance to take a look at their President’s wife.
Every single one of them entered and searched the entire office, only to be surprised or amazed at the sight of Ye Erruo before swiftly taking their leave.
…
Resplendent lights shone down on the glass table, where the necklace that had been dropped behind at the hotpot shop lay.
When Yu Lingfeng made his way downstairs, he saw his friend staring vacantly at the necklace.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong.”
“When are you going back then?”
He appeared to be deep in thought as he took a seat on the sofa. “Things are a little tricky on Mo Jiangye’s end. How do you expect me to leave when I can’t get in touch with Xiao Ruo at all?”
“The Queen has already sent someone to urge us to hurry up many times. If we don’t return to Blue Tower, she’ll make a trip here herself.”
“Worst comes to worst, let’s just get that Xiao Nuo person close to Mo Jiangye and swap her for Xiao Ruo.”
Bo Jinyan disagreed with the idea, however. “That was my initial plan, but after meeting him several times, I now find this plan infeasible. Besides, Xiao Nuo has lost her vision in one eye.”
“How is it infeasible? We just need to get that woman to stall Mo Jiangye for a day.”
As he stroked the necklace in his hand, he whispered, “Mo Jiangye seems to care for Xiao Ruo a lot.”
“He cares for Xiao Ruo?”
How can he—someone full of shortcomings—be possibly worthy of my little princess?
“You’ll take Gu Feirou and Xiao Nuo back to Blue Tower first and I’ll stay behind to take care of the rest,” said Bo Jinyan in a meaningful tone.
“Xiao Nuo as well?”
“Yes, take her back. She might prove to be a big help to us one day.”
“No, I’ll take Ruoruo back on my own. You can return with those two women first.”
He furrowed his brows in displeasure. “I’ll take those two back while you stay here? How do you intend to take Xiao Ruo away from Mo Jiangye’s side then?”
“I’ll snatch her away!” Yu Lingfeng spat out coldly.
“Snatch her? Do you want her to hate you? Do you think Xiao Ruo will willingly leave with you?”
He was rendered speechless. “What do you mean?”
“I’ll get her to return to Blue Tower with me of her own free will and make her forget Mo Jiangye and everything that happened here.”
Wouldn’t that… be going overboard?
It’s not hard to tell that Xiao Ruo is very fond of Mo Jiangye. If we wiped him from her memories…
The air suddenly felt still as silence descended between the two men, who each had their own thoughts on their minds.
“Actually, I think it might be a good idea if she doesn’t return to Blue Tower,” Yu Lingfeng solemnly declared with heartache after a lot of consideration.
Besides, he could not refute that her safety was guaranteed while she stayed by her husband’s side.
His friend’s face darkened. “How is she going to be a part of my family if she doesn’t return to Blue Tower?”
He felt absolutely conflicted. To be honest, he would prefer it if Xiao Ruo was not a part of his friend’s family. He just wanted him to treat her with love and sincerity, but that would be too unfair to her.
On top of that, if she did not return to Blue Tower… the chances of him meeting her again in the future would be practically non-existent.
“She has to return!” Bo Jinyan articulated his thoughts clearly, his eyes flashing with obstinacy, determination, and solemness. “I’m capable of protecting her for life. I’ll give her a glamorous and lavish wedding and make sure that she belongs entirely to me, including her heart and body.”
