CHAPTER 21: CHAPTER 19: BAO YE, THANK YOU FOR COMING TO FIND ME

The air returned to silence as they ate their meals separately.

Over the years, they rarely had meals together, only at night at most.

Bao Ye was a workaholic, even during holidays, he was either at the company or in the study, Jiang Ruan could hardly see him.

She was already used to it.

Occasionally ignoring his existence.

This time, it was unexpected for her that Bao Ye came to find her.

"I’m going back this afternoon."

Bao Ye spoke, his finger pinching the soup spoon, his dark deep eyes glanced at Jiang Ruan, the tone was indifferent.

There are still many things in Beijing.

He can’t stay here forever.

Jiang Ruan suddenly looked up: "Ah?"

Her bright black eyes unexpectedly sparkled with delight, she was excited: "You’re leaving this afternoon."

"..."

Bao Ye stared at her: "You’re happy?"

Heartless.

He took time off work just to come see her.

For a whole month, no replies to texts, no answers to calls.

Really impressive.

Bao Ye felt stifled with anger in his chest.

"No, no." Jiang Ruan also realized she was too emotional, forced a smile, and coughed lightly, her small face instantly drooped.

"I’m actually very sad."

"I can’t bear to see you leave."

"I’ll miss you when you’re gone."

Bao Ye gave her a cold look: "Heh."

Ghost-believing.

She’s probably happier than anyone.

Thinking about it like this, Bao Ye’s face darkened even more.

After eating, Jiang Ruan changed her clothes and was ready to go to the film set.

Before leaving, seeing Bao Ye still holding a laptop on the sofa, she hesitated but still walked over.

Feeling someone approaching, Bao Ye didn’t move.

Until his neck was gently circled, Jiang Ruan leaned down, her soft red lips covering his pale thin lips.

Warmth passed over.

The man’s eyelashes fluttered lightly like a butterfly.

"At most two months, I’ll go back to Beijing to accompany you after filming."

"Bao Ye, thank you for coming to find me."

"Then I’ll be off."

Jiang Ruan kissed him several times, like kissing a child, her bare face glowing brightly.

Her eyes were sparkling, seemingly shining.

As she let go, a deep command came from the man.

"Don’t be out of touch."

Although as long as he wants to know, he can find out what she is doing.

But she must answer calls and reply to texts.

He would worry about her safety.

With this thought crossing his mind, Bao Ye was slightly stunned, since when did he start worrying about others.

"Okay." Jiang Ruan raised an eyebrow, dragging out her soft voice: "Got it."

"If you dare to film a kiss scene C scene, I’ll break your leg."

The man’s voice became even colder.

As if it were true.

Jiang Ruan smiled, looking at the ice-like Bao Ye in front of her, exuding the charm of a mature man.

She chuckled: "Then I’ll be crippled."

"What if I cling to you?"

In response to the question, Bao Ye sneered lightly: "Am I short of that bit of money?"

Of course, he wasn’t short of money.

Jiang Ruan was amused, but time was running out, and if she didn’t leave, she’d be late for makeup and costumes.

She had no time to banter with him.

It wasn’t until the room door closed that Bao Ye retracted his gaze, the spacious living room quiet to an excessive degree.

Yet his heart was restless.

The man pressed his lips together, took off the Buddha Beads from his right wrist, and held them, the icy cold beads seemingly able to calm his emotions.

Soon, the man’s eyes returned to their coldness.

Once Jiang Ruan arrived on the set, it was a flurry of activity.

The makeup and styling alone took an hour.

After makeup, she and Sister Qin headed to the shooting site, encountering Li Xin on the way there.

Li Xin’s eyes were red, as if she had been crying heavily, the makeup couldn’t cover it up.

Her whole state was not good.

Jiang Ruan raised an eyebrow, already grown up and still crying?

If this goes on camera, the Director would scold her to death?

Li Xin shot her a glare and left without a good expression.

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Such a mystery.

Sister Qin wasn’t one with a good temper: "What are you glaring at? Does it make her eyes look bigger or something."

Jiang Ruan laughed: "Maybe her eyesight’s bad."

Sister Qin sneered: "I just heard when I came here, she cried for a long time this morning, I heard her dad and uncle were beaten up, seemed like some enemy, and beaten pretty badly, both are in the intensive care unit now."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan was surprised: "They were beaten?"

"Indeed." Sister Qin said dismissively: "These two have done plenty of ruthless acts in the entertainment circle, especially her dad, relying on his background, who knows how many young girls have been harmed by him, it’s deserved to be beaten."

"If someday something that shouldn’t be found out comes to light, they’ll end up where they belong sooner or later."

This was indeed reasonable.

Very satisfying.

Jiang Ruan smiled serenely: "No wonder she cried like that, and I remembered she was supposed to do a barefaced shoot today, how’s she going to be on camera like this."

Sister Qin: "With the Director’s temper, he certainly won’t be satisfied, just wait and see."

Sister Qin took a breath: "This is called fighting fire with fire, we can’t do much to her, but there are always people who can deal with her."
