“I miss you,” he whispered.
Finally, he held the girl of his dreams in his arms. A faint, uncontrollable smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “Not for long. 1 just arrived.”
“This is a public place. Can you please be more discreet?” Fang Yuan would have tolerated such affection in the privacy of their car, but standing by the roadside, she worried about the prying eyes of passersby.
“I can’t help it. If i don’t hug you now, I’ll miss you even more later,” Bo Yi’s gaze traced her features, and for a rare moment, tenderness and affection graced his handsome face. “Are you busy with work?”
Fang Yuan replied, “Not really.”
Bo Yi inquired further, “Do you miss me?”
Fang Yuan hesitated.”…”
Bo Yi continued, “You don’t even miss me when you’re not busy?”
Fang Yuan still couldn’t find the words.
“You heartless girl!” Bo Yi tightened his embrace around Fang Yuan. “I’ll have to punish you by holding you for another minute. No protests allowed.”
Fang Yuan suddenly found his behavior a bit childish. What was going on?
“Every time you go to the company, it’s like you’ve disappeared off the face of the earth. If I didn’t come looking for you, it’s like you wouldn’t even miss me!” Bo Yi’s tone took on a slightly cajoling note.
Hearing his words, Fang Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. “There are just so many matters to attend to.”
“…so, are you thinking of me?” Bo Yi persisted.
“Bo Yi,” Fang Yuan urged him to act more mature, but she didn’t expect him to gently cup her face and gaze at her as if she were the most precious thing in the world. His eyes sparkled with an affection as bright as the starry sky.
“I can’t help it. Your little face is so soft.”
“Where’s the afternoon tea?” Fang Yuan suddenly remembered that she still had some tasks to attend to, and she couldn’t afford to delay for too long. She swiftly changed the subject.
He gently touched her face and retrieved the afternoon tea.
Fang Yuan observed the dozen or so bags in his hand and hesitated to take them. “There are too many. I can’t finish all of this.”
“Choose what you like,” Bo Yi held the bag with one hand and her with the other. He tenderly brushed her hair and leaned down to inquire, “Are you really not going to invite me up for a moment?”
Fang Yuan replied, “I still have some things to do later.”
Bo Yi inquired further, “Will you miss me later?”
Fang Yuan… paused.
“…so, are you thinking about me?” Bo Yi pressed on.
Fang Yuan remained silent.
“Will you miss me?” Bo Yi didn’t seem willing to let the question go.
Fang Yuan gritted her teeth and finally responded, “Yes!”
At that moment, Bo Yi’s typically reserved countenance seemed to burst with radiant light. He smiled with contentment, eclipsing the surrounding scenery.
“I miss you too.” Bo Yi suddenly lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. His eyes lingered with affection and tenderness. “I’ll pick you up after work.”
“Okay.” Fang Yuan’s face flushed slightly. She gathered her belongings, ready to depart.
However, he refused to release her hand. “What should 1 do? I don’t want to let go-”
The moment he saw her, he cared for nothing else; he simply wanted to be close to her.
Previously, Fang Yuan had no inkling that the rumored cold and heartless President Bo could look so handsome in public. Now that she had witnessed it, she couldn’t help but feel a touch of amusement.
“Are you suggesting that 1 stand here and continue this conversation with something so heavy?” Fang Yuan retorted.
Bo Yi proposed, “How about I help you carry it to the entrance of the company?”
Fang Yuan withdrew her hand. “1’11 be off work in an hour. You should head back.”
“Yuanyuan,” Bo Yi called out.
Fang Yuan halted and turned to face him.
“I meant every word 1 said on the Ferris wheel today.” Bo Yi’s expression brimmed with sincerity. He truly cherished her, longing for her company every moment they were apart. He wished to share meals, watch movies, go shopping, take leisurely strolls, gaze at the stars, and admire the sea, living happily day by day, year after year, like any ordinary couple.
In different circumstances, Fang Yuan might have dismissed his words, but seeing the genuine earnestness in his eyes, she responded calmly, “1 understand.”
Bo Yi watched her walk away and discreetly followed her.
Fang Yuan took a step, and Bo Yi followed suit, maintaining a close but unobtrusive distance. They continued until Fang Yuan’s figure vanished completely at the company’s entrance. There, Bo Yi stopped and pulled out his phone to call her, using his own method to silently accompany and protect her.
Cheng Yuqi, who had observed the entire scene from her car, seethed with anger. If she hadn’t witnessed it firsthand, she would never have believed that the typically aloof and reserved Bo Yi would engage in such affectionate behavior toward a girl!
It turned out that the man who stood at the pinnacle of the business world wasn’t devoid of the capacity for affection and love; he just hadn’t encountered someone he truly cared for before! Ever since he met Fang Yuan, the tenderness and love that filled his eyes were unlike anything Cheng Yuqi had ever witnessed!
It turned out that the unmasked Bo Yi could be so affectionate and captivating…
But why? Why did an unsophisticated village girl earn Bo Yi’s love? What made her deserving of Bo Yi’s favor?
Cheng Yuqi seethed with jealousy, her newly-manicured nails digging into her skin.. No, she couldn’t let this situation progress any further! Whether it was her family background, her appearance, her abilities, or her knowledge, Bo Yi was second to none! She, too, wanted to possess Bo Yi’s unique affection! She wanted to replace Fang Yuan and become the woman Bo Yi adored!
