Chapter 24: Pure Heart and Few Desires?

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

Jiang Li felt that it was a little ridiculous.

Even if Su Lu was taking her time, he didn’t believe it would take so long for her to change clothes!

But although Second Young Master Jiang lived a luxurious lifestyle, indulging in fine food, drinks, and buying some luxury cars and watches, his personal life was quite clean. So, he didn’t think much about it. He simply went into Bo Jingshen’s suite to make coffee, drink, and play games on his phone.

He had no idea what was going on in Su Lu’s suite, which was just one door away.

Inside the suite, Su Lu didn’t even know what was wrong with Bo Jingshen.

She was changing clothes in the bathroom, getting ready to blow-dry her hair for a bit of styling.

As she lowered her gaze after plugging in the hairdryer, the sound of the hairdryer suddenly filled the room, masking the sound of the bathroom door being pushed open.

When she raised her gaze again, she saw a man standing behind her in the mirror.

The man’s eyes were deep and flickering like dancing flames.

Su Lu was taken aback. “How did… you come in?”

She even questioned herself if she had taken too much time, making them wait for so long.

In the next moment, she was pressed against the wall.

“Bo Jingshen, you…” Su Lu’s eyes widened. No matter how stupid she was, she could sense the aggressive momentum of the man behind her.

The hairdryer slipped from her hand and landed on the vanity table, still emitting a buzzing sound that mixed with the ambiguous atmosphere.

Su Lu could hardly stand straight anymore, and the clothes she had changed into earlier were now ruined.

She was so tired that she didn’t even have the strength to raise her hand. From showering to drying her hair to changing her clothes, Bo Jingshen had meticulously buttoned every single button for her.

“You’re not human…” Su Lu clenched her lips and stared at him resentfully.

No matter how much she had feelings for him, she still had a little annoyed at this moment.

Bo Jingshen seemed to be in a good mood. Upon hearing her reproach, he only raised an eyebrow, not denying it. His hands moved gently and skillfully to fasten the buttons at the back of her neck.

Of course, Su Lu had no idea that the man’s unhappiness stemmed from the small medicine box in the trash can, leading to the scene that just happened.

She didn’t know, and neither would Jiang Li.

When the door of the suite opened, the sound of Jiang Li’s in-game announcement came from the adjacent suite, “Double-Kill!”

Along with it, Jiang Li’s discontented voice followed, “Bo Jingshen, if you’re not willing to take me in, then so be it. Isn’t it a bit excessive to leave me on the sidelines like this?”

As Jiang Li spoke, he walked out.

What he saw was a couple standing at the door, but their expressions and postures emitted an indescribable sense of ambiguity.

Bo Jingshen gently held Su Lu’s waist, as if to help her stand more steadily.

And the veil on Su Lu’s neck and the lingering blush on her face made people think even more.

Jiang Li’s previously furrowed brows suddenly raised, and then his eyes expressed a clear shock.

“F*ck…No way!”

Su Lu’s face turned even redder.

Before Jiang Li could say anything further, Bo Jingshen interrupted, saying, “I’m not unwilling to take you. Let’s go.”

Jiang Li couldn’t help but exclaim in his mind.

Who did the hell say Bo Jingshen was a monk? How could he be a monk with a pure and dispassionate heart?

All these years, it seemed like he had saved up all his purity and lack of desire for this moment! It was all stored up!

If he erupted, he would burn someone to ashes without hesitation.

It wasn’t easy for Su Lu.

So, when Second Young Master Jiang ordered the food, he ordered several nourishing dishes.

As soon as the dishes were served, Jiang Li pushed them in front of Su Lu and said, “Come on, Su Lu, eat more. With your slender arms and legs…” It felt like it wasn’t enough for Bo Jingshen’s indulgence throughout the night.

“Thank you, Young Master Jiang.” Su Lu was no longer as embarrassed as before and instead revealed a bit of self-abandonment.

“Hey, we’re so familiar now, just call me Jiang Li.” Jiang Li smiled and teased her, “Given your relationship with Brother Shen, even if you called me Jiang Er, I wouldn’t dare to say no.”

His tone was teasing but not malicious, friendly but not fawning.

This made Su Lu feel less uncomfortable.

“Weren’t you interested in the technology park project?” Bo Jingshen said, lifting his chin towards Jiang Li, “You can communicate with Jiang Er.”

She was only so interested in that project, so she mentioned it casually.

In fact, she didn’t have much interest in doing business to earn a lot of money. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been running such a small-scale company for the past few years, becoming a model of lack of ambition in Su Yukang’s eyes.

“Hmm?” Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, “You want to corporate the technology park project?”

She initially thought that this might make Second Young Master Jiang misunderstand her intentions, thinking that she suddenly wanted to interfere and get a share of the project.

However, Jiang Li sneered and said, “That project is boring. Let those old guys in Feng City fight over the project. Let’s do something else that they won’t understand.”

Jiang Li added, “Oh, I’m referring to your dad’s group of old guys.”

Su Lu laughed and said, “You’re right, he wants to cooperate on the park project.”

Jiang Li smiled and looked at her slyly. He wanted to say something.

Then, a king crab, the size of a washbasin, was served.

Bo Jingshen pointed and said, “Place it in front of her.”

“Alright,” the waiter nodded.

The enormous king crab completely blocked Su Lu and Jiang Li’s view, leaving them unable to see each other.

Su Lu was speechless.

Jiang Li was speechless and said, “…You’re doing this on purpose.”

Bo Jingshen calmly remarked, “I told you to be serious. Why are you talking nonsense with her?”

Jiang Li clicked his tongue and said, “How is it nonsense? The esports industry is thriving nowadays! It can also be connected to many other things, like live-streaming and peripheral products. The profits are significant! Don’t underestimate it! Moreover, since it’s not a traditional industry, we don’t have to deal with those old fogies and their pretentiousness. Isn’t that great? Su Lu, don’t you think so?”

Setting aside everything else, Second Young Master Jiang’s eloquence was top-notch.

His words made Su Lu intrigued.

The esports industry has risen to prominence in recent years, and it can indeed be quite lucrative, with the potential for various collaborations.

Furthermore, since it’s a non-traditional industry, not everyone can readily accept this new concept.

This helps avoid interactions with people like Su Yukang.

In general, there’s no need to get entangled with these old fogies.

An emerging industry, and how wonderful it was.

“Yes. Young Master Jiang said was indeed reasonable, and it sounded really interesting,” Su Lu’s eyes twinkled.

Bo Jingshen looked sideways at her sparkling eyes and the vivid expression on her beautiful face. He was a little stunned.

After five years of separation, the relationship between him and Su Lu had always been ambiguous and sickly.

He carried resentment and unwillingness, while she bore restraint and guilt.

To the point where he almost blurred the memory of the woman, he loved so deeply was such a vivid and beautiful Little Lu.

She wasn’t the Gu family’s daughter-in-law or the Su family’s daughter.

“Interested?” Bo Jingshen’s eyebrows lightly raised, his voice involuntarily softened.
