CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 278: MR. BAO, PLEASE DON’T OVERTHINK

Jiang Ruan was having a particularly enjoyable conversation with Liang Pengbo. After not seeing each other for a while, suddenly meeting and chatting made her feel like she was back in the countryside.

Everyone had long known that Liang Pengbo was very lively. When they filmed variety shows together, he often made everyone laugh.

Although Liang Pengbo is young, just in his early twenties and hasn’t been in the industry for long,

his emotional intelligence is genuinely high.

When interacting with people, having high IQ and EQ is particularly important.

It feels like when you chat with him, you don’t have to try hard at all; he understands everything you say, and responds to you.

Jiang Ruan teased him, "Do you have a girlfriend? You’re so handsome and tall, there must be lots of girls in the entertainment industry chasing after you, right?"

Liang Pengbo couldn’t take the teasing, and his face instantly flushed.

"Sister Jiang Ruan!"

"I’m still young, I’m not considering this for now. I just want to focus on developing my career."

"And even if I look for a girlfriend in the future, I’d like someone like Sister Jiang Ruan..."

Before he finished speaking, a man’s low and cold voice sounded at his ear: "Long time no see."

"Jiang Ruan."

These two words felt even colder.

It seemed like Liang Pengbo’s intentions weren’t pure.

In just a moment of not seeing them, he was already confessing?

Likes someone like Jiang Ruan?

Ha.

In his dreams.

His woman, and he dares to like her?

Liang Pengbo turned his head and saw it was Bao Ye.

The words in his mouth suddenly stopped.

He quickly stood up: "Mr. Bao, long time no see."

Bao Ye, however, didn’t even glance at him, casually responded with a "hmm."

Then, he dragged a chair over and sat right between the two of them.

It was a bit cramped, so Jiang Ruan quickly scooted to the right a bit, feeling anxious inside.

Her eyes were filled with a mix of tears and laughter.

How could this be such a coincidence?

Just when Liang Pengbo was saying that sentence.

Bao Ye happened to arrive.

He definitely heard it.

With Bao Ye’s pettiness, he’d definitely overthink it.

Thinking about it, she heard Bao Ye ask her, "Jiang Ruan, what were you two talking about?"

Jiang Ruan abruptly looked up, meeting the man’s dark eyes, as if they were black holes obscuring emotions.

But her intuition told her it was not good.

"Just casual chat." Jiang Ruan laughed wryly, "We haven’t seen each other for so long, just catching up casually."

Bao Ye raised an eyebrow, "Really? Just casual chat?"

"Wasn’t he confessing to you?"

With one sentence, Jiang Ruan was at a loss for words.

Jiang Ruan widened her eyes, and Liang Pengbo quickly explained on her behalf: "No, Mr. Bao, I wasn’t confessing to Sister Jiang Ruan, you’ve misunderstood."

Bao Ye curled his lips, "Misunderstood?"

"I heard you say you like someone like her."

The man’s tone was slow, almost as if each word was forcefully spat out, carrying pressure.

"If that’s not a confession, what is it, hmm?"

His gaze swept over the two of them, extremely cold.

So cold that it felt like the three of them were about to vanish from the world.

And who that person was, needless to say.

Jiang Ruan inexplicably felt like she was being accused by him.

She said, "It really wasn’t a confession, Peng Bo was just saying he wants to find a girlfriend like me in the future, we were joking around."

"Mr. Bao, please don’t overthink it."

She said dutifully.

But what Bao Ye heard only displeased him more.

Isn’t that still liking her?

So he wants a girlfriend like her?

What’s the difference?

And she calls him Peng Bo, quite affectionately.

Liang Pengbo: "Yeah, I was just joking with Sister Jiang Ruan, it really wasn’t a confession, Mr. Bao, don’t misunderstand."

Saying this, Liang Pengbo felt something was very off.

But he couldn’t fathom what was wrong.

No, whether or not he was confessing, it’s still between him and Sister Jiang Ruan.

Isn’t Mr. Bao being a little too intrusive?
