Chapter 40 - I Can't Give You What You Want!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Bo Jingyuan was done with her business, she happily skipped to school.

She was filled with joy as she thought about the ball. When the day came, she would definitely put on a stunning outfit and invite Professor Su to dance with her. It would be perfect!

But before that, she had to make a name for herself during Zhongjiang Art Academy’s charity sale. Once she sold her artwork for a million yuan, Professor Su would definitely remember her!

‘Hmph, I’ll still win over Professor Su’s heart without Su Ruanruan’s help!’

…

While Bo Jingyuan was busy preparing for the charity sale, Su Ruanruan was also preparing a painting. The latter had spent two full days finishing up her piece of art.

The background was exactly what she had seen in the square many years ago. A building that appeared as though it was on fire, and in front of one of the floor-to-ceiling windows was a man.

Although she couldn’t get a clear view of his face, it was clear that he was a handsome and mature man.

Su Ruanruan dried the oil painting and covered it with a canvas.

After settling everything, she untied her hair and removed her clothes before heading to the bathroom to take a shower.

A figure walked in silently. Hearing the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, he wanted to join in too. But thinking about her age, he decided not to do so.

He sat on the sofa and flipped through the small notebook she had left there. After flipping through it a few times, his gaze froze.

Su Ruanruan had drawn a circle on the small map.

Bo Jingyan narrowed his eyes.

The circle was on England.

He was an extremely intelligent person and could guess what she was thinking. She wanted to leave and go to England.

Just then, the bathroom door opened. Su Ruanruan was in her pajamas, wiping her still-damp hair.

She looked up and saw Bo Jingyan. He was dressed in a black shirt and matching casual pants. He looked exceptionally handsome, and even exuded the sexiness of a young man!

Su Ruanruan asked softly, “Why are you here?”

Bo Jingyan waved her over, but she didn’t move.

“What are you thinking? I’ll dry your hair for you.”

She moved over slowly.

Bo Jingyan reached out and pulled her onto his lap, holding her waist with one hand. He snatched the towel from Su Ruanruan’s hands and gently dried her hair.

When he was almost done, his actions became slow and deliberate.

Su Ruanruan couldn’t stand it any longer, and she said softly, “I’ll do it myself.”

Bo Jingyan threw the towel aside and hugged her with both hands, turning the young girl to face him.

This position made her blush. She tried to refuse him.

Usually, he would find her response interesting. But now, his dark eyes were locked on hers as he asked, “You want to go overseas?”

She turned her face away.

Bo Jingyan could not help but get angry. He tightened his grip on her and repeated himself.

Thinking about his despicable and overbearing behavior, Su Ruanruan bit her lip. “Yes, I definitely want to leave.”

Bo Jingyan kept his gaze on her, causing the latter to lower her head as she said softly, “Bo Jingyan, you can’t do this.”

He smiled at her. “What do you mean?”

She said nothing.

He stared into her eyes and enunciated his words clearly. “Will you suddenly disappear one day after doing what you have to do?”

She was slightly distracted because of his sudden outburst. After a long while, she finally stammered, “I’ll tell you before I leave.”

Bo Jingyan pinched her chin, his breath teasing her lips. “Do you think I want you to bid farewell to me? Ruanruan, don’t tell me that you don’t know what I want!”

“I can’t give you what you want,” she replied.

Bo Jingyan was so angry that he laughed and asked in an evil tone, “If you can’t give it to me… why are you still sleeping with me?”

Su Ruanruan did not expect him to say that. Her eyes were a little red and the corners of her eyes were wet.

She was at a loss for words even after a long while.

Instead, she chose to slowly move away from him..
