Chapter 21: Are You Going to Be Even, or Are You Going to Take Charge?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Lu knew that she brought it upon herself.

She wasn’t that drunk, at least not to the point where she did not know what she was doing.

Everything she did was something that she subconsciously wanted to do deep in her heart.

She was just emboldened by alcohol, that’s all there was to it.

But…

Su Lu soon started to regret it. She had completely overestimated her tolerance and underestimated Bo Jingshen’s potential.

That time at Yunding… Maybe it was the wrong environment, the wrong atmosphere.

Bo Jingshen was very restrained. He didn’t show his true strength at all, but even so, she couldn’t take it.

And now, they were in the right place at the right time.

Everything was in place.

He had no intention of holding back.

Su Lu had no strength left in her body, and she soon fell into a deep sleep in his arms.

Bo Jingshen lowered his gaze and watched the sleeping figure in his arms.

His gaze was profound.

He looked at her quietly, and no one knew how long he had been staring at her.

His deep gaze was as if it carried the resentment and yearning of countless days and nights, so profound.

On the carpet by the bed, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Picking it up, he saw Yan Sui’s name flashing on the screen.

Bo Jingshen, with his arm still around Su Lu, bent down and gently pressed his lips against her forehead.

Su Lu was genuinely afraid of him. Even in her dreams, she furrowed her brows and muttered softly, “I don’t want it anymore, I don’t want it.”

The corners of Bo Jingshen’s mouth curled up slightly before he swiped the screen to answer the call.

Bo Jingshen asked, “Hmm, what’s up?”

Yan Sui sighed and said, “I specifically told you to treat Cainan better and be more considerate toward her. But what did you do? You made her cry.”

Bo Jingshen replied, “Did she come to find you?”

Yan Sui said, “Yes. I spent the whole night drinking with her and just sent her back to the hotel. Is your heart made of iron or what?”

Yan Sui thought that Bo Jingshen might feel remorseful or self-blaming.

However, Bo Jingshen’s voice remained as indifferent as ever. “Oh, that’s convenient. Check which day in the next two days has suitable weather for flying and send her to Feng City.”

Yan Sui couldn’t help but say helplessly, “Is your heart made of iron or what? Aren’t you being too cruel to Cainan?”

Bo Jingshen’s tone remained calm. “I’m being cruel to her by being indecisive.”

Yan Sui sighed and said, “Ah, when will you be able to live without being so sober.”

Bo Jingshen chuckled softly. “After going through so much in these few years, if I don’t live a more sober life, I don’t know what I would become.”

Yan Sui sighed, “Well, I won’t say much. Just be mindful of your actions. But… Isn’t it inappropriate to drive Cainan away?”

“I didn’t drive her away. I just asked her to go back first. She was originally planning to return to work in our home country. Cheng Yan arrived before her. In Feng City, where my company has just started, I need people in various positions, and I don’t trust anyone else.” Bo Jingshen spoke in a professional tone.

Yan Sui grinned and said, “Is it just because of that? Isn’t it because Cainan touched your beloved one?”

Bo Jingshen glanced deeply at Su Little Lu, who was sleeping in his arms.

He didn’t deny Yan Sui’s words.

Bo Jingshen replied, “She doesn’t have much scheming, she can’t compete with Cainan. To be honest, she doesn’t hold a candle to Cainan in terms of capability.”

“So, you have to protect her,” Yan Sui said.

Bo Jingshen remained silent.

Yan Sui chuckled softly. “Well, being a strong woman is not easy…”

If Cainan knew about this, she wouldn’t know how to feel. She had worked so hard over the years to become a strong woman, hoping to stand beside Bo Jingshen and be a suitable partner for him, sharing both the burdens and joys in their careers and lives.

Little did she know that Bo Jingshen didn’t require any of that.

After ending the call, Bo Jingshen turned off the night lamp.

The room, still filled with a lingering romantic atmosphere, sank into the boundless darkness.

When Su Lu woke up, her whole body was aching.

“Ah…” She gently sucked in a breath and her brows tightly knitted.

Her mind went blank for a moment.

The heat source behind her made her brain buzz, and then the scattered fragments of memory began to piece together.

Gradually, they formed a coherent picture.

Her face, which was already pale from the hangover, turned even paler.

She didn’t black out. If only she had blacked out, then it would have been better. But those memories were crystal clear.

Not to mention blacking out, every single frame was vivid.

Su Lu raised her hand and covered her face. “You’re something,” Su Lu thought.

Going crazy while drunk, how pathetic.

And the heat source behind her, she didn’t need to turn around to know what it was.

“Are you awake?” The man’s voice was husky with the remnants of sleep.

Su Lu didn’t reply.

“Pretending to be asleep?”

Su Lu’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s whisper. “I’m… awake.”

His breath tickled her ear, and her ears turned bright red.

Bo Jingshen chuckled softly from behind her. “Judging by your reaction, you remember everything from last night, even without blacking out. I thought you would use blacking out as an excuse.”

Su Lu belatedly realized the possibility of using blacking out as an excuse. And the degree of awkwardness that could be alleviated after using the blackout as an excuse.

And then…

Su Lu was now filled with regret, deep regret.

Bo Jingshen leaned over and kissed her.

“Don’t worry, I won’t make you take responsibility.”

He then got up from the bed, casually grabbing a towel and wrapping it around himself.

Su Lu secretly glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

Eight-pack abs, v-cut lines, long legs, nothing was lacking.

He had such excellent physical attributes. The intensity of Su Lu’s body pain seemed to increase as a result.

Bo Jingshen sat down beside the bed with the towel wrapped around him and leaned over to look at her.

“That time at Yunding and last night… Su Little Lu, do you think we’re even now… or do you want me to take responsibility?”
