Psst! We're moving!
After meeting the parents, Bo Ying and He Jingxiu’s lives continued as usual, without major changes.
The only difference was that when she returned to work in the legal department, her colleagues eagerly egged her on to treat them to a meal. Bo Ying readily agreed, smiling and saying she would confirm a free day with He Jingxiu and then invite everyone.
“How did you two keep it so quiet?” Qiu Li couldn’t help but ask, “How long has it been?”
A colleague asked, “Could it be that it started during our last dinner gathering?”
“...”
Bo Ying paused slightly, then nodded shyly, “I think so.”
“Holy crap! So when CEO He said his girlfriend didn’t let him drink, you were the one who didn’t let him drink?”
Instantly, all the colleagues in the office stared at her.
Bo Ying was a little embarrassed and explained, “He has a sensitive stomach.”
It’s better to drink as little as possible.
Pei Yunmeng laughed beside them, “A girlfriend is definitely better then. CEO He never used to care about his stomach before.”
“Right, right,” a colleague chimed in, “So, with you and Fang Boyu on the show, was CEO He jealous?”
“...”
Bo Ying was speechless.
Everyone looked at her curiously, “Was he?”
“I had nothing to do the night before last, so I immediately turned on your show. Not long after it started, I saw a netizen send a comment shipping you two.”
“That’s called ‘shipping’!”
“Yes, yes. Was CEO He jealous?”
Bo Ying was pressed by their questions. Thinking about He Jingxiu’s kiss during the parent meeting and his emotional turmoil after returning home, she thought he probably was jealous.
She touched the tip of her nose, cleared her throat, and said, “Shall I ask CEO He for you?”
Colleagues: “...”
After a moment of silence, Pei Yunmeng said, “No need to doubt, he definitely was jealous.”
“I think so too.”
“CEO He is so pitiful, having to watch his girlfriend and a company employee be forcefully shipped by netizens on a show.”
“Don’t even mention it, netizens are also good at finding sweetness where there is none.”
“............”
On Monday morning, everyone’s minds weren’t really on work anyway, and this discussion went on endlessly.
Bo Ying and Fang Boyu, the two people involved, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Midway, Fang Boyu even sent Bo Ying a message specifically, asking her to explain more to He Jingxiu—that he absolutely had no dirty thoughts about the CEO’s wife.
Bo Ying replied with six dots.
During a break, she mentioned treating them to dinner to He Jingxiu. He left it up to her, saying he would make time whenever she wanted.
Bo Ying: [What about your pre-arranged work then?]
The next second, He Jingxiu sent her his recent itinerary.
Bo Ying: [...Alright then, CEO He.]
He Jingxiu: [Did they make things difficult for you?]
Bo Ying suppressed a laugh: [Difficult what? They just teased a bit, it’s normal.]
He Jingxiu: [Okay.]
Bo Ying was curious: [What, if they made things difficult for me, was CEO He planning to do something to vent his girlfriend’s anger?]
He Jingxiu: [It’s the end of the year, I’ll deduct their year-end bonuses.]
Although Bo Ying knew he was joking, she immediately said seriously: [No, please don’t be a tyrannical ruler.]
He Jingxiu: [I’ll listen to you.]
The two chatted for a while before Bo Ying refocused on work.
________________________________________
She wouldn’t be working at He Group for long. After the New Year, she would go to work at the law firm.
After the show’s filming ended, Bo Ying had the choice to stay at He Group or the law firm. She successfully passed the internship assessment.
Bo Ying thought for a day and gave her answer.
She wanted to work at He Group until the New Year, and then go to the law firm after the New Year, seeing it as a fresh start for the new year.
The law firm had no objections, and naturally, He Jingxiu wouldn’t either.
He had always known that Bo Ying wouldn’t stay at He Group for long; she had her own dreams, her own ambitions.
What he could do was always support her from behind, guide her when she was lost, and give her the choices she preferred and desired more.
On Tuesday noon, Bo Ying, who had stood Bo Yan up for nearly a month, appeared at Bo Hui Group.
Knowing she was coming, Bo Yan’s assistant, Xu Mingze, personally came downstairs to greet her, smiling, “Miss Bo.”
“Assistant Xu.”
Bo Ying curved her lips, happy, “Where’s my brother?”
Xu Mingze pointed, “CEO Bo is still on the phone. He told me to take you to the restaurant there first.”
Bo Ying looked, her eyelid twitching, “I came all this way, and my brother is just treating me to the cafeteria?”
The restaurant Xu Mingze referred to was just the Bo Hui Group’s cafeteria.
Xu Mingze smiled, “CEO Bo said he wants you to get to know people in the cafeteria first.”
Bo Ying choked slightly, and said speechlessly, “I’m not coming to work at Bo Hui, there’s no one to get to know.”
Xu Mingze smiled without speaking.
Bo Ying indeed wouldn’t be working at Bo Hui, but in the future, she would attend various banquets and gatherings with He Jingxiu, and she would eventually need to be recognized.
Bo Hui’s cafeteria had many managers and general managers dining there. If they recognized Bo Ying earlier, it would be convenient for her in the future.
Bo Ying looked at Xu Mingze and could generally understand Bo Yan’s intention.
She could understand, but she just felt it was unnecessary.
If people gave her special treatment because she was Bo Yan’s sister, she actually didn’t like it very much. She was just that kind of fastidious person.
The two went to the cafeteria and, as expected, received many scrutinizing gazes.
Of course, some people also asked Xu Mingze who she was.
Xu Mingze, after getting a look from Bo Ying, smiled and said, “CEO Bo’s sister, our Bo Hui’s young mistress.”
Instantly, more people looked at Bo Ying.
Bo Ying wandered around the cafeteria for a while and ordered her meal first.
Just as she finished ordering, Bo Yan arrived.
The siblings looked at each other, and Bo Ying mumbled, “Brother, aren’t you too stingy? I finally come all this way, and you only treat me to the cafeteria.”
Bo Yan glanced at her, “Isn’t it good to be economical?”
Bo Ying choked slightly, then looked at him and said, “That depends on how you’re being economical, right?”
Bo Yan smiled, and said indifferently, “Just try it.”
“...Oh.”
Bo Ying didn’t dislike it too much either.
The two ate quietly, and Bo Yan asked her about meeting the parents.
Speaking of this, Bo Ying’s eyes sparkled, “He Jingxiu’s family atmosphere is really good. His dad and mom both like me very much.”
Bo Yan: “Vain.”
Bo Ying snorted lightly, “It’s a fact. If you don’t believe me, ask He Jingxiu.”
Bo Yan stared at her, then suddenly smiled, “No need to ask.”
“Why not ask again?” Bo Ying pouted, “You don’t believe me.”
Bo Yan pondered for a moment, then whispered, “I know how popular my sister is.”
Caught off guard, Bo Ying was a little surprised by his words.
She blinked slightly, her lips curving upwards, a little awkwardly happy, “Of course.”
Bo Ying said vainly, “You just didn’t notice before.”
Bo Yan smiled, not speaking.
How could he not have noticed? He used to scare off many of his sister’s suitors. Of course, he used normal means to scare them away, not anything else.
However, these things were not suitable to tell Bo Ying.
________________________________________
After eating, Bo Ying went to his office with him.
She felt that Bo Yan was being secretive, constantly asking her to come to the company, as if he had some unspoken secret.
Entering the elevator, Bo Ying guessed, “Brother, are you going to propose to Chi Xiaolu, and you want me to come over and help you plan?”
Bo Yan: “...No.”
He paused, looked at her, “If I propose to Chi Lu, I don’t need you to plan.”
He was afraid of messing it up.
Bo Ying choked, “You’re looking down on me.”
Bo Yan nodded, “Indeed.”
Bo Ying gave up on communicating with this person.
The two arrived at the office, and not long after they entered, another lawyer came.
At this point, Bo Ying finally belatedly realized something.
She looked at the equity transfer contract Bo Yan placed in front of her and was stunned for a few seconds, “What are you doing? Is the company going bankrupt?”
Bo Yan tapped her head with the document, “Sign it.”
“I won’t sign,” Bo Ying refused without thinking, “Why are you giving me so much?”
She flipped through it. Besides shares in Bo Hui Group, Bo Yan was also transferring several companies he invested in, as well as several large shopping malls under Bo Hui, to her.
Bo Yan was exasperated but amused, and asked softly, “What’s He Jingxiu’s family background like?”
Bo Ying paused, then looked at him, “He Jingxiu doesn’t care about that.”
“I know,” Bo Yan said, “But I don’t want outsiders to look down on my sister, Bo Yan’s sister.”
Bo Ying paused slightly, her lips trembling.
She understood the reasoning, but these things were all hard-earned by Bo Yan, and she didn’t want to reap the benefits.
“That’s too much.”
“Not much,” Bo Yan smiled, “This is before your marriage. Chi Lu and I haven’t even prepared your dowry yet.”
Hearing that, Bo Ying’s eyes welled up, and she said, pursing her lips, “You’re not even married yet, and I’m still far from it.”
Bo Yan hummed in response, raised a hand to ruffle her hair, and gently said, “If it’s early, Chi Lu and I will prepare it for you slowly.”
He handed the pen to Bo Ying, coaxing her, “Sign the paper.”
Bo Ying looked up at him, “Must I sign?”
Bo Yan: “Yes, in the future, you’ll have the freedom to use these, and you’ll have voting rights at shareholder meetings. Actually, you should have signed earlier, but I hadn’t found the time to organize these.”
Bo Ying took a deep breath, “But I don’t want to manage them.”
“I’ll arrange for someone to manage them for you. You only need to show your face at important meetings once a year.” Bo Yan looked at her, his expression gentle, “Yingying, sign it. I’ll feel at ease.”
Bo Ying opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, but as soon as she met Bo Yan’s eyes, she couldn’t speak.
She knew why Bo Yan was giving her these things.
________________________________________
In the end, Bo Ying signed the papers. She didn’t want Bo Yan to go through any more trouble.
After she signed, to cheer her up, Bo Yan unexpectedly livened up and said, “In the future, if you’re tired from work or feel wronged, you can throw your resignation letter or acquisition documents on your boss’s desk and tell him he’s no longer the boss, and that he can be your employee.”
“...”
Bo Ying listened, exasperated but amused, “But I don’t like being a boss.”
Bo Yan hummed in response, looking at her, “Whether you’re a boss or not isn’t important. I want you to always have the right to choose freely.”
Whether it’s working or not working, or where you work, as long as you like it, if you don’t, you can just leave.
This was the confidence Bo Yan was giving his sister.
Bo Ying listened, and couldn’t help but say, “Brother, why are you getting so emotional? Aren’t you afraid I’ll cry?”
Bo Yan patted her head, “Then don’t cry, otherwise Chi Lu and He Jingxiu will both come looking for me.”
Bo Ying couldn’t help but be amused by him, “Oh, then don’t say those things.”
She actively reached out and hugged Bo Yan, whispering, “Thank you, big brother.”
Bo Yan paused slightly, then hummed softly, “You’re welcome.”
Leaving Bo Hui, Xu Mingze personally drove her back to He Group.
Once in the car, Bo Ying first sent He Jingxiu a meme.
He Jingxiu: [?]
Bo Ying: [CEO He, if I wanted to keep you, how much would it cost per night?]
He Jingxiu: [What do you want me to do?]
Bo Ying: [First, tell me the cost.]
He Jingxiu: [If it’s my girlfriend, a million per night.]
Bo Ying: [??? Why don’t you just rob someone?!]
Bo Ying: [I’m not keeping you anymore!]
He Jingxiu sat at his office desk, looked up at Qi Xuezhen, who was giving a report, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “Is one million per night too high?”
The question came suddenly. Qi Xuezhen was stunned for a few seconds before replying, “CEO He, it’s not high at all.”
Given He Jingxiu’s net worth, even ten million per night wouldn’t be high.
Of course, it also depends on what it’s for.
He Jingxiu nodded, perplexed, “Bo Ying says my price is too high.”
Qi Xuezhen: “...”
His eyelids twitched slightly, utterly bewildered. Was this a topic his assistant was supposed to hear? What did “price” even mean?
“Then, why don’t you ask Miss Bo what price she’d accept?”
He Jingxiu said seriously, “I’m asking.”
However, Bo Ying had stopped replying to him.
He Jingxiu: [I just asked Assistant Qi, he said my price isn’t high.]
Bo Ying sent him a price list from a certain club in Beicheng.
Hmm, the very handsome twenty-year-old young men on it only cost five hundred thousand a night.
