CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 36: IF YOU DON’T GO NOW, HE’LL START URGING YOU

"Come over here, don’t make me say it again."

Bao Ye’s dark eyes were fixed on her as he tugged Buddha Beads with his left hand, emitting a sound. The suit and tie made the man appear mature and steady, exuding the air of a dominant CEO.

Yet, with that face, he seemed like a refined scoundrel.

Jiang Ruan was really annoyed with him. If he was going to leave, then go; why make her come over?

They were about to leave, no way he’d still hold her back now...

Impossible!

Jiang Ruan was sure that Bao Ye’s obsession with cleanliness wouldn’t make him tolerate a mess, and she hadn’t even freshened up yet, so she confidently walked over on her bare feet.

She placed her hands on her hips, her voice sweet and soft as she questioned, "What’s up, my dear Mr. Bao?"

The thin white strap hung on the girl’s shoulder blade, revealing a delicate collarbone, and her long swan-like neck was dazzling.

Not to mention the girl’s sweet, enticing voice.

As if she was deliberately teasing him.

Bao Ye’s Adam’s apple moved, his dark eyes deepened, and he reached out to pull her into his arms and kissed her fiercely.

Jiang Ruan had underestimated this man. She widened her eyes and struggled, "Bao Ye... hmm..."

"I haven’t brushed my teeth yet!"

Her dark eyes widened like Tongling!

He wasn’t even disgusted!

But truth be told, Bao Ye certainly wasn’t disgusted by her.

Actually, it wasn’t that he wasn’t disgusted.

Even without brushing her teeth, her kiss was sweet and fragrant.

Until she was out of breath, and the voice of Chen Nan called from outside, Bao Ye released her, holding her waist with one hand to prevent her from collapsing to the floor.

She stood on the bed, barely taller than him.

From this angle, Bao Ye lifted his gaze to kiss her earlobe, seeing her blossom in a blushing red. He teased against her ear, "I’ve kissed even more outrageous things than this, so what’s the big deal?"

Jiang Ruan glared, her small face instantly turning crimson.

The man’s teasing gaze.

She bit her lip, too embarrassed to speak, "You!"

Overboard, overboard, ah ah ah.

"Chen Nan is calling for you, go quickly." She pulled his arm away, urging, "If you don’t leave, he’ll come to rush you soon."

This topic couldn’t last another minute.

Why hadn’t she noticed before?

He loved using these remarks to choke her.

Bao Ye had really changed, becoming more and more roguish, humph.

"No hurry." Bao Ye’s Adam’s apple moved. Seeing her urging him out like a little wife, he chuckled lightly, his dark eyes appreciating her facial expression changes, "Let him wait."

But he still fixed his clothes and turned to leave.

Watching his figure disappear from sight, footsteps on the stairs echoed until they could no longer be heard.

Only then did Jiang Ruan rake her hair, voiced a sound, her face red as she rolled back into the bedcovers.

Ten minutes later, the maid knocked gently on the door, "Miss Jiang, should we prepare breakfast for you?"

Lying on the bed, Jiang Ruan was actually a bit hungry, having eaten nothing last night except bird’s nest.

She replied, "Yes!"

Having survived on set meal boxes for four whole months.

Jiang Ruan definitely needed to eat well now that she was back home.

Even if she was dining alone.

But the maids still prepared a full twelve courses. Sitting at the dining table, Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment, "Didn’t I say six dishes were enough?"

She had indeed reported six dish names.

The maid nodded, smiling, "These were prepared by the new chef Mr. Bao hired. Not sure if you’ll like them, so try them out."

So that’s why.

Jiang Ruan glanced at them and indeed they were different from before, but somehow familiar.

She picked up chopsticks, casually picked a dish, and tasted the new cuisine.

As the food entered her mouth, she froze.

Countless memories surged through her mind.

Overwhelming her ability to act.

Her eyes slightly tingling.

The maid asked, "How is it?"

Being asked, Jiang Ruan snapped out of her daze, quickly holding back her tears, showing a sweet yet elegant smile.

She praised, "Not bad, very delicious."

It was the flavor of the restaurant from her childhood.

The taste of Jiang City.

Having left for so many years, she hadn’t tasted it since.

Bao Ye actually found a chef who could make Jiang City dishes for her, leaving Jiang Ruan with mixed emotions...

The maid smiled, "That’s good. Mr. Bao wants your opinion. If you like it, I’ll let him stay."

Jiang Ruan’s dark eyes were moved, "Okay."

Perhaps because she missed the taste of her childhood too much.

This meal, Jiang Ruan ate two whole bowls of rice.

Her mood lifted from heavy to joyful.

Afternoon.

Jiang Ruan nestled on the sofa browsing Weibo.

After finally having a few days off granted by Sister Qin, she relaxed as much as she could.

Seeing the recent drama marketing team busy, with all kinds of promotions for new shows, fans were eagerly helping with promotion, and Jiang Ruan’s red lips curved slightly.

Who would have thought, just being online for a while, Sister Qin caught her.

Called her, "Hello, sweetie, what are you doing?"

Jiang Ruan lifted her snowy white legs, showing her small white teeth, "Just lying at home."

"Oh my god, dear you can lie down, but at least spend two minutes posting something on Weibo."

"Look at how the fans are urging you. You’ve already gone days without posting."

Listening, Jiang Ruan twitched the corner of her mouth.

Didn’t she just not post for a day?

She just posted wrap-up photos yesterday.

But she still replied, "But I don’t know what to post. I see the new show is gaining quite a buzz."

"Yes, it’s high-profile, but you need to maintain your presence too, which bodes well for the show’s eventual broadcast..."

Sister Qin babbled on.

Leaving Jiang Ruan dizzy, her slender fingers massaging her temples, she agreed, "Alright, alright, I got it."

"I’ll post now, okay?"

Sister Qin was excited, "Sweetie, you’re the best, let me give you a kiss, mua."

Jiang Ruan burst out laughing, "Sister Qin, when did you get so cheesy?"

Ending the call, Jiang Ruan opened Weibo, staring at it for a long time, unsure of what to post.

Perhaps post about the weather? Wishing the sweethearts a sunny day?

Or a picture of the new manicure?

Jiang Ruan felt her ideas might be a bit perfunctory.

Just then, the housekeeper’s voice echoed, "Miss Jiang, the clothes Mr. Bao ordered for you have arrived, should we bring them in?"

Jiang Ruan got up from the sofa, "Ah," she asked, "What clothes?"

"LV and YSL haute couture gowns."

What was with Bao Ye today?

Finding a Jiang City chef and buying her gowns.

He was being really attentive.

Jiang Ruan pouted but was quite pleased, "Bring them in."

In the next second, twenty servants filed in.

Each holding a couture dress wrapped in a high-grade plastic cover.

Seeing the entire range.

Every color was present, red, yellow, blue, green...

Yet every piece was meticulously crafted.

Suiting her well.

Standing in a row in front of her.

Almost as grand as a large fashion show.

Recovering from shock, Jiang Ruan’s eyes fell instantly on the bright red strapless gown, her eyes sparkled.

What a beautiful dress.

So alluring.

She had never worn such a bright gown before!

Staring and pondering for a moment.

"Keep this one for me, return the others," Jiang Ruan said.

How much would all this couture cost?

Bao Ye was really a spendthrift.

Unexpectedly, the maid replied, "Miss Jiang, they’re non-returnable."

Jiang Ruan was stunned, "Why?"

"Mr. Bao paid in full."

"Mr. Bao said they’re all your size, you can wear them, and choose whichever you like."

"The ones you don’t like can be kept in the fitting room."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

The sugar daddy was indeed generous.
