Chapter 26

Bo Jinxiu heard the question and suddenly turned to Jiang Ciyou. “Host Jiang, what do you think?”

Jiang Ciyou feigned surprise. “Mr. Bo, I don’t know your beloved, so how would I know?”

“But I believe the person Mr. Bo likes must be very exceptional.”

Bo Jinxiu nodded in agreement. “The line of people who like her could extend from here to Paris.”

Jiang Ciyou’s curiosity was piqued.

Bo Jinxiu’s beloved must be one of the top socialites in the capital circle.

When talking about her, Jiang Ciyou felt there was a light in Bo Jinxiu’s eyes.

Premiere Studio:

– “Unrequited love, the prince of the capital circle actually has a crush on someone else.”

– “Even the most powerful person can be cautious and uncertain around the person they like.”

– “Forget the status, I don’t believe any woman could refuse the prince’s face.”

– “So does the lucky woman know that the prince has a crush on her?”

Jiang Ciyou asked the question everyone in the premiere studio was most curious about. “So, Mr. Bo, you don’t know whether your beloved likes you back?”

Bo Jinxiu smiled. “I’m still in line in Paris. I hope she doesn’t make me wait too long.”

His humorous response lightened the atmosphere.

Jiang Ciyou teased, “Brave people enjoy life first. Mr. Bo, you might as well be bold and pursue her. You might succeed.”

Then, facing the camera, Jiang Ciyou made the final summary of the interview. “Once again, thank you, Mr. Bo, for accepting our interview, and I wish you find your beautiful lady soon.”

The interview concluded. The team gradually left the meeting room.

Jiang Ciyou was about to leave as well, but Bo Jinxiu grabbed her arm. “Is running off after you’re done your style?”

Jiang Ciyou glanced around; everyone had already left.

“I still need to return to the station; it’s work time.”

Bo Jinxiu checked his watch. “Does your TV station work until eleven-thirty?”

“Have a meal with me first, then you can go back.”

Jiang Ciyou had no choice but to lie, saying she needed to prepare a special feature on the resort and had some issues to discuss, so she asked the other team members to leave first.

The lunch was delivered by Gao Cen.

Bo Jinxiu’s office was already a suite.

The two had lunch at the “dining table” in the office.

Jiang Ciyou suddenly had a thought and laughed.

“What’s so funny?”

Bo Jinxiu asked while peeling shrimp.

Jiang Ciyou replied, “After three years of knowing each other, this seems to be the first time we’ve had lunch together.”

Indeed.

They had known each other for three years, mostly meeting in the evenings, occasionally having dinner together, but never having lunch together.

Bo Jinxiu placed the peeled shrimp into Jiang Ciyou’s bowl. “Because you only see me as a bed warmer.”

Jiang Ciyou was drinking soup and nearly choked upon hearing this.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward.

“Mr. Bo, let’s not bring up the past, shall we?”

“We can avoid the past, but what about last night?”

“Why did you suddenly come over and force yourself on me last night?”

He spoke slowly but with a serious tone, as if discussing a serious matter.

This time, Jiang Ciyou truly choked.

She scrambled for a tissue.

After finally calming down, Jiang Ciyou said, “I’m sorry, I was a bit shaken yesterday. I promise this won’t happen again in the future.”

Bo Jinxiu raised an eyebrow. “Then I’m the one who’s at a loss.”

Jiang Ciyou was momentarily stunned, unable to react. “What?”

“Jiang Ciyou, would you like to be my girlfriend?”

“I’m married,” Jiang Ciyou blurted out.

“What kind of marriage is that? Is it legally recognized?”

Jiang Ciyou was shocked. “You know about it?”

Yes, with his status, he probably had thoroughly investigated her background.

Bo Jinxiu was silent for a moment. “Yan Feng doesn’t love you. You know that well. Instead of wasting time on someone who will never turn back, why not switch to someone else? I think we’d be quite suited.”

Bo Jinxiu’s eyes were fixed on Jiang Ciyou.

His gaze was deep, like the ocean under the night sky.

At this moment, his expression was serious and solemn, giving off an inexplicable sense of palpitation.

“At least in that aspect, we’re a good match.”

He suddenly raised an eyebrow.

The serious atmosphere was instantly broken.

Jiang Ciyou rolled her eyes at him. “What, no more waiting in Paris?”

Bo Jinxiu’s eyes flashed with light. “Are you jealous?”

Jiang Ciyou smiled playfully. “Are we at that stage?”

After finishing her lunch, Jiang Ciyou put down her chopsticks. “Mr. Bo, to be honest, your skills in bed are quite good.”

Bo Jinxiu frowned upon hearing this.

He was the prince, with so many advantages, but she only remembered his skills in bed.

Jiang Ciyou continued, “We can continue seeing each other, but on one condition.”

“What condition?”

“Let’s not talk about interests or feelings, just enjoy ourselves. We won’t bind each other or interfere with each other’s private lives.”

Bo Jinxiu seemed dissatisfied. “So, you don’t want to talk about feelings, just want to sleep with me?”

Jiang Ciyou nodded. “Feelings are too troublesome. With feelings come greed. We were fine before, each getting what we needed and being happy.”

Jiang Ciyou knew they both had feelings for each other; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been intimate for three years. However, their status differences were too great, making a future together impossible.

Moreover, she carried many secrets.

She no longer believed in unwavering love. After knowing Yan Feng for over twenty years, their relationship had gone from childhood friends to mutual disdain.

What in this world remains unchanged?

She would no longer give anyone the chance to stab her in the back.

Bo Jinxiu, however, seemed unhappy, his brows furrowed.

Jiang Ciyou smiled calmly. “If you don’t agree, then so be it.”

“Alright, then move to the Greenery Villa first.”

Jiang Ciyou didn’t expect Bo Jinxiu to actually agree.

Jiang Ciyou said, “I need to handle some matters first. After that, I’ll move over.”

This time, Bo Jinxiu didn’t say anything more.

At noon, Jiang Ciyou took a nap in Bo Jinxiu’s “bedroom.”

She arrived at the TV station around two o’clock.

Tang Fei saw Jiang Ciyou, put down his thermos, and quickly came over.

“Xiao Jiang, you’re really our TV station’s great contributor. The response to the interview has been excellent, and the ratings are at a new high. Several major advertisers have specifically requested to invest in our new column. The advertising slots are being snapped up, and even the capital TV station called to seek advice. The station manager said he wants to reward you.”

Jiang Ciyou smiled warmly. “It’s all for the station. It’s only right.”

A crowd gathered around her.

“Sister Jiang, you’re amazing. The news department’s phones have been ringing off the hook. The first episode of ‘Elite Figures’ was so successful that now it’s not us seeking interviews; those young talents are contacting us on their own initiative. Some are even offering money to be interviewed.”

“We’ve raised the profile so high in the first episode. If they can appear in this column, it’s like being on the same level as the prince of the capital circle. Of course, they want to be featured.”

“Sister Jiang, tell us how you convinced the prince.”

Everyone surrounded Jiang Ciyou.

Only Xia Ling, at a distance, silently observed everything.
