Bo Jingyan’s heart was in turmoil, but his voice was gentle and distant. “You’re quite obedient.” With that, he walked over to Su Ruanruan’s side and sat down.

Su Ruanruan bit her lip. She was afraid of him.

When he looked at her just now, his gaze was pure aggression.

Just as Su Ruanruan’s heart was trembling slightly, the Old Madam said to everyone, “Pick a good day and let’s officially put Ruanruan’s name into our family’s genealogy bok.”

‘The genealogy book?’ Bo Jingyan was surprised.

He turned to look at Su Ruanruan, who was fair and slender, and soft and fragile.

A child like that would not last long in the Bo family.

At this moment, Bo Jingyuan raised her glass and smiled sweetly. “It’s Ruanruan’s first time in our house. We should celebrate this!”

‘Hmph! You want to join the Bo Family?! Su Ruanruan? Do you think you’re worthy of that?’ 

With this interruption, the Old Madam forgot what she had wanted to say, and started drinking merrily with the Bo family.

Bo Jingyuan was unusually enthusiastic. “Ruanruan, why aren’t you drinking?”

Su Ruanruan had no choice but to take a small sip.

Bo Jingyuan sneered. It wouldn’t even take two minutes for those drugs to kick in. Then, Su Ruanruan would not be able to hold it in and the entire family would know how promiscuous she was.

However, no matter how much she waited, nothing happened to Su Ruanruan. On the contrary, her own body was heating up and her entire face was burning.

Terrified, she cried out for Madam Bo in a daze. “Mom… I-I feel terrible…”

Madam Bo was shocked to see her daughter like this. After all, she was experienced and could guess the reason with a glance. She immediately helped her daughter up and instructed the servants, “Call the doctor over.”

She glanced at Su Ruanruan thoughtfully.

The young girl was leaning back in her chair and looking at Jingyuan worriedly.

‘It can’t be her! She isn’t that capable.’ Madam Bo thought to herself.

Madam Bo then left in a hurry with her daughter. The other members of the Bo family were no longer in the mood to eat and left their seats to take a look at what was going on.

Upstairs, Bo Jingyuan’s screams, as well as some unspeakable sounds, could be heard from time to time.

The servants in the house were all whispering amongst themselves.

Su Ruanruan sat alone under the cold lights of the dining room. She looked down calmly and wiped her fingerprints from the glass with a napkin.

The corners of her lips curled up into a smirk. She would never harm anyone unless they offended her. This had only happened to Bo Jingyuan because she harbored evil intentions in the first place.

It was late at night when she finally stood up and headed upstairs with the help of the servants.

It was then that a slender figure appeared quietly. He wrapped a napkin around his goblet and raised it. After a moment, he laughed silently.

‘I guess she’s naughtier than I expected.’ He thought inwardly.

The secretary came over and whispered, “Young Master Yan, the private plane will take off in an hour.”

Bo Jingyan put down the cup and looked upstairs for a long time before saying, “Let’s go.”

…

It was a long night for the Bo family, but Su Ruanruan slept well.

Early in the morning, the sun shone through the windows and the rays of sunlight hit the white bed.

Su Ruanruan’s black hair was spread all over the pillow, and the faint smell of gardenia flowers wafted into her nose. It was the fragrance from her hair.

She gradually sat up, combing her shoulder-length hair with her fingers while glancing at the clock.

It was seven in the morning. It was time for her to get up and greet the elders of the Bo Family. If things went as expected, she would have to face Bo Jingyuan’s accusations too.

Ten minutes later, Su Ruanruan changed into a yellow dress and headed downstairs.

The dining room downstairs was very quiet. Only Bo Mingyuan, his wife, and the second daughter of the Bo family, Bo Jingse, were there.

Su Ruanruan greeted them softly. Madam Bo only snorted lightly, and her daughter was also slightly cold.

Only Bo Mingyuan forced a smile out. “Have you gotten used to this place?”
