CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 375: DREAMING

In the castle villa, the bedroom was lit by a nightlight, and Jiang Ruan stood barefoot in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

With her phone in hand, her small mouth pouted, feeling aggrieved and conflicted, wanting to call Bao Ye.

She wanted to tell him that she missed him.

She drank with Lu Jie tonight, had a bit too much, and her head felt dizzy.

When they finished drinking, Jiang Ruan wanted to sleep over at Lu Jie’s, but Lu Jie was picked up by someone.

She had no choice but to come back by herself.

Originally Jiang Ruan thought it was nothing, after all, she and Bao Ye had been apart more than together these years, even separated for half a year before,

it had only been just over a month this time.

It’s nothing major.

But she suddenly missed him very much, not suddenly, she had been missing him a lot recently.

Especially when Lu Jie had someone to pick her up, while she didn’t, she missed him even more.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruan’s eyes turned red,

holding the phone, Bao Ye’s phone number.

Just a click away, she could call him, she could hear his voice,

but looking at the time, it was already past two in the morning.

It was so late, he must have just gone to sleep after being so busy during the day,

Bao Ye had trouble sleeping, what if she called and woke him up right after he fell asleep...

Jiang Ruan couldn’t bear it.

She wiped away her tears, ultimately didn’t dial the call, but returned to the bedside, threw her phone on the nightstand, then hugged a big teddy bear and drifted off to sleep.

The night was very, very quiet.

Yet footsteps made of leather rubbing against the wooden floor were heard, stepping up the stairs, coming to the bedroom, gently pushing open the door.

Inside was very quiet, it was obvious she was asleep.

Thinking of this, the man sighed in relief, stepped toward the window.

The room was illuminated by a nightlight, bright, after a month absence, returning here gave Bao Ye a strange yet familiar feeling,

the illusion of a long-awaited reunion.

This brought a bittersweet smile to his face.

Everything in the room remained the same as when he was here, nothing had changed.

Near the bed, he saw Jiang Ruan snuggled up with a big teddy bear, sleeping soundly.

Seeing the girl’s pure face, Bao Ye’s pent-up emotions from the past month surged, his breath paused for a moment.

He leaned over to look at her serene sleeping figure.

But as he moved closer, he smelled alcohol.

She had been drinking?

Bao Ye frowned, moved closer again, indeed it was the smell of alcohol.

With her low tolerance, she dared to go out drinking.

Bao Ye thought he must educate her another day, drinking out there is unsafe, especially in the entertainment circle, where the good and bad are mingled.

What if she accidentally got in trouble.

Considering this, Jiang Ruan’s alluring red lips were so close, her plump lips looked so adorable, making him unable to resist wanting to kiss them.

Bao Ye had been dreaming of her lips for the past month,

her sweetness.

Tonight, coming back was because he couldn’t control his emotions anymore.

Now that the person he missed was within reach, how could Bao Ye hold back, lightly hooking her chin with his finger, turning her little face properly.

He leaned down and kissed her lips directly.

The smell of alcohol grew stronger.

Spreading between their mouths sweetly, she must have drunk fruit wine.

Thinking this, Bao Ye kissed her lips gently and lingeringly.

His breath was heavy.

On one hand, afraid she might wake up and find out he was back.

On the other hand, his own emotions were overwhelming.

Plus her alcohol scent made him feel as if he was drunk without actually drinking.

Jiang Ruan was asleep, because of the drinking, she was sleeping very lightly, suddenly feeling her lips blocked by someone.

Gradually, she couldn’t breathe!

Her face was uncomfortable, Jiang Ruan dimly opened her eyes, wanting to see what it was.

In the end, she vaguely saw a man’s well-defined face.

Unexpectedly, she woke up suddenly.

Their eyes met, staring into her bright black eyes, Bao Ye’s dark eyes trembled intensely, his lips still pressed against her red lips, his mind went blank.

Not even thinking of how to respond.

Time seemed to stand still for three or four seconds.

The two stared at each other, finally Bao Ye lifted his head, gazed at Jiang Ruan, and his lips moved slightly.

Just about to say: "I’m back..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ruan’s soft voice rang out: "Am I dreaming? I actually see Bao Ye."

"I must be dreaming because I drank too much. He’s on a business trip, there’s no way he could be back."

Saying this, Jiang Ruan pouted her little mouth.

Bao Ye listened: "..."

The temple on his forehead throbbed twice violently.

So is she awake or not?

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Ruan raised her hand and slapped his face twice: "Slap! Slap!"

The crisp sound of slapping echoed, leaving Bao Ye completely dumbfounded.

After realizing, his face turned dark instantly.

From birth until now, who dared to hit Bao Ye’s face,

only Jiang Ruan dared to.

Bao Ye gritted his teeth, if he remembers correctly, this was the second time.

"Huh, even hitting feels so real."

"Looks like I really drank too much."

"Even having hallucinations."

Jiang Ruan mumbled sleep-talking.

"No, I have to slap twice more to check."

Watching her hand reach out again, and it seemed this time it would be even harder.

Bao Ye finally couldn’t bear it any longer.

He raised his hand and directly restrained her hand, pinning it to the bed, preventing her from moving.

Jiang Ruan struggled: "What are you doing, let go of me!"

"Dare to hit me, huh?" Bao Ye gritted his teeth: "Jiang Ruan, you’ve got some nerve!"

Having slapped him twice wasn’t enough, still wanting to continue.

What a bold move.

"Let go of me!" Jiang Ruan struggled, her eyes turning red again instantly.

It was already to this point.

Bao Ye saw no need to suppress himself any longer, he leaned down and kissed her lips directly, biting fiercely: "See clearly who I am."

"I am your man, your man is back!"

The familiar tone entered her ears, Jiang Ruan remained utterly bewildered.

But being bitten was truly painful,

unable to distinguish dream from reality, she whimpered and cried.

Little did she know, the more she cried, the more Bao Ye’s dark nature couldn’t be restrained from rising sharply,

originally not intending to go that far.

But Jiang Ruan kept struggling, rubbing against him continuously.

She wore a nightgown, which had also been pushed to her navel.

Bao Ye isn’t a monk with no desires.

He is a man.

How could he withstand such temptation.

Kissing her, Bao Ye’s eyes were full of barely concealed desire, one hand easily restraining both her hands.

The other hand, began to act restlessly.

Jiang Ruan widened her eyes: "Mmm..."

At first, she struggled a bit.

But gradually, she stopped struggling.

Her mind cleared a bit, even if it was a dream, this person was Bao Ye.

The Bao Ye she missed day and night.

Why reject him at all.

She wished he would hold and kiss her.

Even within a dream, Jiang Ruan was willing to let herself fall with him.

Thus, she became more proactive.

This surprised Bao Ye, but more so filled him with excitement.

He was pondering how to guide her to take the lead.

Bao Ye was quite willing to be the receiver this time.

Unexpectedly she came to him voluntarily.

And so, afterward... later...
