CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 280: FIXING IT TOMORROW

Jiang Ruan sensed something was off when Bao Ye asked Liang Pengbo if he could drink. Sure enough, it was a trap set for Liang Pengbo.

But young and impulsive Liang Pengbo, without Bao Ye’s deep schemes, naturally fell right into it.

Jiang Ruan frowned, sighed, and said, "Bao Ye."

The man glared coldly, full of resentment, and stopped her words.

Jiang Ruan’s red lips moved, but she closed her mouth after all.

Bao Ye asked the server to bring over two bottles of red wine.

He started drinking with Liang Pengbo.

Liang Pengbo saw Jiang Ruan looking over and thought she was worried about him. His face turned red from drinking.

He gave her a gentle smile, "I’m fine, Sister Jiang Ruan, don’t worry about me."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

When was she ever worried about him?

Turning her head, she saw Bao Ye’s expression turn even colder.

He raised his glass towards Liang Pengbo again, "Drink."

Jiang Ruan’s lips twitched; this man, how childish could he get?

In the end, Liang Pengbo couldn’t hold his liquor.

He drank until he couldn’t drink anymore and slumped over the bar.

Jiang Ruan called his name twice, but he didn’t get up.

Nearby, she heard a man’s faint scoff, disdainful, "With this alcohol tolerance, he dares to say he can drink."

"Such a disgrace to men."

Jiang Ruan had had enough and turned to look at him, "That’s enough, Bao Ye."

"He’s never been a good drinker. Back in the crew, no one ever asked him to drink. You really are something, forcing so much drink on him when he did nothing to provoke you."

Jiang Ruan rolled her eyes, unable to help but complain.

Bao Ye responded, "Hmm, he provoked me."

If someone likes him, isn’t that provoking him?

Jiang Ruan didn’t bother to argue, asking, "What now? Let’s find someone to take him back. He’s too drunk to be left here alone."

This time, Bao Ye took out his phone and made a call.

Soon, Chen Nan arrived.

Chen Nan was dressed handsomely today too, being the executive assistant to the CEO of Bao Group, an important person with status both inside and outside the industry.

"Mr. Bao, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Ruan nodded.

Bao Ye glanced at the person slumped over the bar, took a sip of his red wine, then stood up: "He’s your responsibility now."

"Send him back to his team."

Chen Nan was puzzled, "Huh? Who is he?"

Jiang Ruan said, "Liang Pengbo, his team is outside. Just mention his name, but keep it quiet, don’t let the reporters catch wind."

Chen Nan, known for his high efficiency, nodded, "Okay."

Bao Ye turned to leave but stopped when he saw Jiang Ruan still sitting there.

His dark eyes playful, he teased, "What’s this, can’t bear to leave?"

"Or do you want to personally take him back?"

Jiang Ruan: "..."

She looked to Chen Nan, "I’ll head out first; thank you for this."

"No problem, Miss Jiang."

Walking alongside Bao Ye, Jiang Ruan’s high heels clicked crisply on the crystal floor.

Even though she was much shorter than Bao Ye, in terms of figure and looks, Jiang Ruan was not outdone.

She looked at him helplessly, "Is your jealousy a bit too much now? It was just a joke really."

Bao Ye smirked emotionlessly, "What doesn’t count as a joke then?"

"Getting you to fall for me?"

At that moment, they reached a corner.

The surroundings quieted down.

Jiang Ruan stopped, looking up at the man. He had just finished drinking, and the breeze carried a strong scent of red wine.

She couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation, "If that’s how you see it, there are plenty of people inside and outside the industry who want to pursue me and make me fall for them. Are you going to get jealous of every single one of them?"

Jiang Ruan tilted her head, teasing playfully, "Mr. Bao, won’t you get sour to death sooner or later?"
