Psst! We're moving!
He Jingxiu: [?]
He Jingxiu: [Where did the price list come from?]
Bo Ying: [That’s none of your business.]
He Jingxiu saw her message and let out a cold laugh: [Fine.]
Bo Ying raised an eyebrow, just as she was guessing if he was angry, his message popped up again.
He Jingxiu: [I won’t charge a single cent.]
Bo Ying couldn’t help but burst out laughing in the car, hugging her phone: [Really?]
He Jingxiu: [Yes, it’s my honor to serve Miss Bo. No charge needed.]
Bo Ying: [That’s not good either. How about fifty thousand? I’ll buy you for one night.]
He Jingxiu: [Okay.]
Their transaction was thus concluded.
When Bo Ying returned to the company, she immediately sent He Jingxiu a reminder message.
There were only four and a half hours left until closing time.
He Jingxiu replied: [Received.]
Because of this, Bo Ying was still overjoyed when she returned to the office.
Pei Yunmeng looked at her suspiciously, “Why are you so happy after going out?”
Bo Ying blinked and joked, “Because I’ve become a rich woman and can keep young hotties now.”
Pei Yunmeng choked slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, “Do you think CEO He would agree?”
Bo Ying hummed, lowering her voice, “The first one I’ll keep is him.”
Pei Yunmeng: “...”
Alright, she, a single dog, couldn’t understand the fun between couples. She chuckled awkwardly and wisely stopped asking.
Bo Ying smiled, her phone vibrated with a message from Zheng Jinyao.
Zheng Jinyao: [Why are you suddenly asking me for a club price list? Do you still need it?]
Bo Ying: [No, I found our previous chat history.]
Zheng Jinyao: [? You still haven’t told me why you wanted the price list. Are you looking for excitement outside?]
Bo Ying: [Couple’s fun, you wouldn’t understand.]
The club’s price list was something Bo Ying had suddenly mentioned once when chatting with Zheng Jinyao, saying Zheng Jinyao saw it in a client group.
Her client who came from abroad to play was particularly interested in handsome young men, and once even had Zheng Jinyao translate for her at that club.
That day, Zheng Jinyao shared many fun things with Bo Ying and also forwarded the price list her client sent to Bo Ying.
In Zheng Jinyao’s words—handsome young men are really valuable now. Fifty thousand a night means fifteen million a month, enough for two apartments in Beicheng.
Bo Ying was speechless about this.
She thought about it: if young men really earned that much, they’d probably be exhausted to death in a month.
Zheng Jinyao was amused by her comment for several days.
Zheng Jinyao: [...Pretend I didn’t ask, goodbye.]
Bo Ying: [What are you doing?]
Zheng Jinyao: [Hehe, not telling you.]
Bo Ying: [...]
Zheng Jinyao was inconvenient to talk at the moment, so Bo Ying didn’t press further. She knew Zheng Jinyao would tell her when she wanted to.
However, she guessed that Zheng Jinyao might have met a handsome man, otherwise, she wouldn’t be keeping such a big secret from her.
As soon as quitting time arrived, Bo Ying prepared to slip away.

She was about to shut down her computer when Sun Hongbo suddenly called out to her, “Bo Ying.”
Bo Ying was startled, looking up, “What’s wrong?”
Sun Hongbo was a bit distressed. He had a contract that wasn’t finalized yet, but it was needed tomorrow.
“Do you have plans tonight? Could you do me a favor and help me review this contract, and then find and complete any missing information?”
Sun Hongbo had mentored Bo Ying before. Now Bo Ying could work independently, but she had to help him with this favor.
“Of course,” Bo Ying took it without thinking, “I don’t have anything on tonight. I’ll help you with it.”
Pei Yunmeng leaned over, “Do you need me?”
Sun Hongbo: “Yes.”
Pei Yunmeng: “Okay, I’ll come help after I finish this.”
“Alright.”
Because of this, Bo Ying could only message He Jingxiu, postponing the “keeping him” matter by two hours.
He Jingxiu: [?]
Bo Ying: [Something’s not finished, I have to work overtime.]
He Jingxiu: [I’ll wait for you. Tell me when you’re done.]
Bo Ying: [Okay.]
The two worked diligently upstairs and downstairs. Bo Ying paid no mind to anything else when she was busy with work.
Around seven o’clock, He Jingxiu suddenly appeared in the legal department.
Seeing him, the colleagues working overtime were startled, then realized, “Is CEO He looking for Bo Ying?”
He Jingxiu was holding two bags and said calmly, “Yes, and to bring you some food.”
He gestured, indicating, “I didn’t know what everyone liked, so I just bought a little of everything.”
Upon hearing this, someone cheered, “Long live CEO He!”
“CEO He, you’re the best boss ever.”
A female colleague said, “This should be thanks to Bo Ying. If it weren’t for Bo Ying, we wouldn’t be so lucky.”
He Jingxiu smiled, “You all divide it amongst yourselves. I’ll go over to Bo Ying.”
Just two minutes after he arrived, Bo Ying heard the commotion, but at the moment, she was looking up information, so she didn’t bother greeting He Jingxiu.
He Jingxiu glanced at Bo Ying, then handed one of the bags to Pei Yunmeng, “This is for you all.”
Pei Yunmeng nodded, “Thank you, CEO He.”
She glanced at Bo Ying next to her, and after thinking for a moment, said, “Yingying, why don’t you go back first? I’ll handle these.”
“No need.”
Bo Ying refused without thinking, “I’ll be done here in about an hour.”
As she spoke, she managed to glance at He Jingxiu, “Why don’t you eat something first?”
He Jingxiu: “No rush.”
Bo Ying: “No, you shouldn’t. With your delicate stomach, don’t wait for me.”
He Jingxiu: “...”
Bo Ying: “Eat by yourself, I’ll eat after I’m done.”
Hearing their conversation, the colleagues next to them were surprised and unexpected.
Although they knew the two were dating, they had never observed their relationship this closely. Originally, everyone thought He Jingxiu had Bo Ying completely wrapped around his finger, but now, it seemed otherwise.
He Jingxiu had no choice but to take a small portion of dinner and eat.
As he ate, he didn’t forget to feed Bo Ying a little.
Their interaction was natural and sweet, exactly what their daily life was like. The colleagues watching didn’t know whether to envy Bo Ying or He Jingxiu.
These two were truly too compatible.

...
After eating, He Jingxiu didn’t rush Bo Ying, waiting quietly beside her.
Midway, Pei Yan called him, asking if he wanted to drink.
He Jingxiu raised an eyebrow and asked, “Did you argue with your girlfriend again?”
Pei Yan: “...I need to discuss something with you.”
He hadn’t argued with Sheng Chun.
He Jingxiu slowly responded, “I have to accompany my girlfriend, next time.”
Pei Yan almost died of anger, “Then tomorrow.”
He Jingxiu smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, “It seems it’s really important. Alright, then tomorrow.”
“Mm.” Pei Yan quickly hung up the phone.
Bo Ying worked until nine o’clock before finishing her tasks.
After handing it over to Sun Hongbo, she and He Jingxiu left the company.
“Did CEO Pei call you just now?”
Bo Ying turned to look at him, yawning, “It’s so cold.”
Christmas was coming soon.
He Jingxiu touched her hand and whispered, “It is a bit. Wear more tomorrow.”
“No.”
Bo Ying refused without thinking, “Wearing too much makes me look fat.”
He Jingxiu was helpless, “Wear a down jacket.”
Bo Ying pouted, “Let’s see tomorrow. Maybe it’ll be warmer tomorrow.”
He Jingxiu couldn’t do anything about her, holding her hand and quickly walking towards where the car was parked.
After getting in the car, Bo Ying asked him, “You still haven’t told me what CEO Pei wanted.”
“He didn’t say,” He Jingxiu looked at her, “You still haven’t told me where that club’s price list came from.”
“...”
The two looked at each other, Bo Ying blinked, then looked away and said, “Yaoyao gave it to me.”
He Jingxiu: “Hmm?”
Bo Ying looked at him sincerely, “Yaoyao really gave it to me. She went to a club with a client before, and then learned a little about it.”
He Jingxiu stared at her for a moment, unsure if he believed her.
When they arrived home, it was already late.
After a day of work, Bo Ying played with He Baomei downstairs for a while, then went upstairs to wash up and rest.
As she picked up her pajamas and entered the bathroom, the door was pushed open.
Bo Ying looked at the man who entered, still a little bewildered, “What are you doing?”
He Jingxiu lowered his eyes to look at her, bent down and approached her, asking softly, “Not going to keep me?”
“...”
Bo Ying was speechless, her lips slightly parted, “Isn’t it a bit late tonight? It wouldn’t be worth it for me, how about tomorrow?”
She tried to negotiate with He Jingxiu.
“...” He Jingxiu no longer paid attention to her words. When he leaned down to kiss her, he said, “No charge. You can keep me again tomorrow.”
Bo Ying had no right to refuse at all.
________________________________________
In a daze, she remembered the main point, “I haven’t... haven’t showered yet.”
He Jingxiu’s voice was deep as he responded, “We’ll shower together.”
“...”
A steamy mist filled the transparent glass door. Bo Ying was drenched, and she had forgotten to take off her clothes. She tugged at her clothes uncomfortably, but they wouldn’t come off.
“He Jingxiu...” she mumbled, calling out to him, “My clothes.”
He Jingxiu chuckled deeply, helped her discard the troublesome clothes, picked her up onto the sink, and kissed her.
The hot, steamy bathroom made Bo Ying’s head feel a little dizzy.
She felt a suffocating sensation, not knowing if it was from his kisses or from the stuffiness.
The man’s strength was heavy, as if he held resentment, and yet was somewhat out of control.
Bo Ying was made uncomfortable by him, yet he wouldn’t give in to her.
He Jingxiu chuckled softly, his hot breath tingling her ear, teasing her, “You want it?”
“...Nonsense.”
Bo Ying didn’t want to say anything more to him and actively sought him out. She wasn’t a naive young girl; just as He Jingxiu was familiar with her body, she was with his.
He Jingxiu didn’t stop her movements, occasionally cooperating with her.
The bathroom light was still very bright, so glaring that it made one want to close their eyes.
With her eyes closed, her senses became clearer. Bo Ying’s eyelashes trembled, perceiving everything He Jingxiu gave her.
After an unknown amount of time, Bo Ying finally felt as if she had been reborn.
Emerging from the bathroom, Bo Ying curled up on the bed, completely unwilling to move.
However, He Jingxiu wouldn’t give her a chance to rest, seemingly wanting her to truly feel that she got her money’s worth. Or perhaps, to make her abandon any thoughts of going to a club.
In the cold winter, there wasn’t a hint of chill in the room; instead, it was so stuffy that they were sweating.
Of course, they couldn’t distinguish whether it was sweat or something else.
The man’s hot breath fell on her cheek, the warmth of his palm burning her.
When it ended, Bo Ying was utterly exhausted.
She obediently curled up in He Jingxiu’s arms, no longer daring to say anything about keeping him.
He Jingxiu seemed to know what she was thinking and deliberately leaned into her ear, asking, “Miss Bo, are you satisfied with my service tonight?”
“...”
Bo Ying hit him, “Not satisfied. I won’t keep you anymore.”
He Jingxiu: “Hmm?”
His voice was very low, rubbing against her nose, clearly considering another round, “What’s not satisfactory? Shall I try again?”
Bo Ying, like a startled bird, immediately changed her tune: “Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied.”
He Jingxiu: “...”
Given her reaction, he didn’t know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.
After a quick simple wash, the two cuddled in bed.
Bo Ying closed her eyes, and as she was about to fall asleep, she remembered something important. She reached out, poked He Jingxiu’s shoulder, and mumbled, “My brother said to find a time to have dinner together. When is a good time for you?”
He Jingxiu was startled, “New Year’s Day?”
He asked, “Let’s all spend New Year’s Day together.”
Bo Ying paused, then asked with a smile, “How did you know I wanted to spend it with my brother and them?”
He Jingxiu stroked her head, “Just a guess.”
It was Bo Ying’s first New Year’s Day back in the country, and naturally, she wanted to spend it with her family. Although she didn’t say it, He Jingxiu understood.
Bo Ying nodded in agreement, “Then New Year’s Day it is. I hope they won’t mind us ruining their time alone.”
He Jingxiu agreed unconditionally, “Okay.”
“Christmas is in a couple of days, too,” Bo Ying suddenly remembered, bringing it up.
He Jingxiu “mm”-ed, and kissed the tip of her nose, “We’ll go back to school that day.”
This was something they had agreed on before.
Bo Ying smiled, “Okay.”
The two embraced, just like any other couple, leaning against each other and whispering secrets.
During the night, they confided in each other, sharing small secrets that only they would exchange. Whether it was about daily life, work, or other unimportant trivial matters.
No matter what it was, it was unique to the two of them, something others could not peek into.
Bo Ying loved chatting with He Jingxiu at night. Many times, she actually had no particular point, but as long as she was willing to speak, He Jingxiu would be willing to listen.
It would be like this for a lifetime.
The next day, because He Jingxiu had plans with Pei Yan, Bo Ying had a rare chance to gather with her good friend, Sheng Chun.
The two cuddled up in a private room, eating hot pot and chatting.
Suddenly, Sheng Chun said, “Pei Yan has been acting strange lately. Do you know where he’s meeting CEO He tonight?”
Bo Ying: “?”
She genuinely didn’t know that.
She paused, then asked suspiciously, “How strange?”
Sheng Chun couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but she just felt that “dog man” was acting weird.
“I don’t know how to explain it.”
Bo Ying blinked, “Then shall I ask them where they are?”
Sheng Chun exchanged a glance with her and nodded, “Alright, you ask.”
She added, “I want to see what secrets those two are up to.”
Bo Ying didn’t ask directly but subtly sent He Jingxiu a few messages, finally sending him a location and saying she’d be home in an hour.
Sheng Chun watched and urged, “Let’s go.”
Bo Ying: “Huh?”
She was stunned, “Are we going there?”
Sheng Chun: “Yes.”
She said, “I want to see what bad things Pei Yan is doing behind my back.”
Bo Ying initially wasn’t very eager to go, but with Sheng Chun saying that, she also became a little curious.
“Alright.”
Bo Ying got up, very interested.
Although she knew He Jingxiu wouldn’t do anything bad behind her back, she was genuinely curious about what these two mysterious men were up to.
The two went to the men’s meeting place with the idea of “catching them in the act.”
When they arrived, neither man was in the private room.
Bo Ying and Sheng Chun were dumbfounded.
Sheng Chun: “They couldn’t have known we were coming, could they?”
Bo Ying: “No way.”
As she spoke, He Jingxiu’s voice came from behind them, “Who are you looking for?”
Bo Ying’s body stiffened slightly. She turned to look at him.
Their eyes met. She blinked and said frankly, “Looking for you.”
He Jingxiu choked slightly, defeated by her directness.
He paused, then looked at Sheng Chun, “Pei Yan is waiting for you downstairs.”
Sheng Chun: “?”
She and Bo Ying exchanged a glance, feeling that these two men had played a trick on them.
Bo Ying strongly agreed.
After Sheng Chun left, Bo Ying was led into the private room by He Jingxiu.
He raised a hand and pinched her chubby little face, “Why did you come here?”
“To see what bad things you and CEO Pei are doing,” Bo Ying put her hands behind her back, pretending to look around the private room, and asked curiously, “What are you three doing in the private room?”
He Jingxiu: “...Don’t make it sound so ambiguous.”
He said calmly, “It’s not just the two of us. Luo Xiao is here too.”
Bo Ying suddenly realized, correcting herself, “What are you three doing in the private room?”
He Jingxiu: “I can’t tell you for now.”
Bo Ying: “...”
She looked at He Jingxiu’s expression and immediately rushed forward, “No, you have to tell me.”
She threatened, “If you don’t tell me, I’m not going home tonight.”
He Jingxiu was amused by her, “Really?”
“Yes,” Bo Ying nodded very seriously.
He Jingxiu stared at her intently, then thought for a moment and said, “There’s a nice hotel nearby.”
Bo Ying: “???”
