CHAPTER 341: CHAPTER 321: A PROSPEROUS NATION AND A HAPPY PEOPLE

Celebrities are not like ordinary people.

Ordinary people can eat whatever they want, and even if they gain weight, they can lose it gradually. If a celebrity gains weight, it shows up very clearly on camera.

"What are you afraid of?" Bao Ye rubbed her fingertips with his thumb, "With your build, you won’t gain weight even if you eat, and besides, I’ll help you."

Jiang Ruan hadn’t caught on: "Hmm?"

"How will you help me?"

Bao Ye’s dark eyes sparkled with amusement as he leaned closer to her ear, his voice low and hoarse, "Help you exercise."

Four words, and Jiang Ruan’s cheeks instantly turned crimson.

His teasing gaze lingered on her, and she shyly bit her lip, giving him a coquettish glare, "Shut up, you."

Always so suggestive.

Honestly.

"It’s the truth," Bao Ye said with a straight face, "According to scientific research, this kind of exercise is several times more effective than going to the gym, though it requires a bit more skill. I’ll find time to introduce you to some new activities."

He spoke without missing a beat.

Jiang Ruan was flustered and gritted her teeth, "Bao Ye, do you often watch those indecent things in private?"

Bao Ye raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Ruan was about to speak with a flushed face.

Bao Ye interrupted her with a smile, "No need to watch those things."

He pointed a finger at his own temple, "It all comes from here."

"It’s like the company exploring a new project, figuring out how to achieve the best results, how to create a win-win situation for both parties, or in other words."

He leaned down close to her ear, watching her jade-like soft earlobe turn rosy red, as adorable as a little bunny.

The man’s thin lips curled into a smile as he slowly uttered a few words, "How to make you happier."

Simple, direct.

"Bao Ye!" Jiang Ruan really couldn’t listen anymore.

He had changed.

He used to say such things to her only in bed.

But now! Now he says them casually!

"What’s there to be shy about?" Bao Ye’s dark eyes glinted with mischief as he pinched her soft fingertips, then intertwined his fingers with hers.

"We’ve been together so long we’re like an old married couple, how can you still be so easily flustered, hmm?"

The man’s magnetic voice echoed in her ears, his tone casual yet subtly teasing.

Their deep gazes met, and Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but fall into them.

Her cheeks were flushed, and she bit her lip, "Who’s flustered? I’m not."

"Really?"

Bao Ye looked at her and chuckled softly.

"Then why is your face so red?"

Jiang Ruan stubbornly replied, "It’s hot."

She reached out to fan herself, "It’s all because the heating in here is too strong, it’s too hot."

She waved her hand as if she were genuinely very hot.

Bao Ye let out a soft laugh, not exposing her lie.

Outside the window, dazzling fireworks painted the sky, the light flickering as she nestled in his arms.

The fragrance of the girl lingered at the tip of his nose as they watched the fireworks together.

Suddenly, Bao Ye asked her, "Do you have any New Year’s wishes?"

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment, then turned her bright and clear eyes to him and said, "I hope my career reaches new heights, and I also wish you success in your work, and happiness in everything."

Bao Ye responded with an "Oh."

So I’m included too.

All the more reason to cherish her.

The man’s face was calm, revealing no true emotions, though a subtle smile lingered on his lips.

"And you, Bao Ye?"

Jiang Ruan asked him, "Do you have any New Year’s wishes?"

When asked, Bao Ye barely hesitated and replied spontaneously.

His voice was deep and earnest, carrying an inexplicable sense of authority.

"Peace and prosperity for the country, and a peaceful, happy life."

Eight words, stirring Jiang Ruan’s heart intensely.
