h4Chapter 169: Chapter 155: Am I the Kind of Person Who Comforts Others?/h4

"Why?"

Bao Ye lowered his gaze to her, "Is it because I’m still alive?"

Under the dim yellow light, the two of them looked at each other with deep affection, their eyes lingering.

Jiang Ruan replied, "Yes."

She bitterly smiled, "I don’t even know how to describe what I felt back then, it was like the sky was falling, I was just dumbfounded. I guess I’m quite weak and melodramatic, it all happened so suddenly, I didn’t expect it to be like that."

Jiang Ruan sniffled, earnestly, "Luckily, you’re okay."

Bao Ye’s Adam’s apple moved as he tightened his hold on her waist.

"The sky won’t fall."

"Even if someone else’s sky falls, yours won’t."

Bao Ye used to not care about life or death; dying was even something easy for him.

But now, he wanted to live a little longer.

Jiang Ruan was amused by his words, "Why do you seem different from before today?"

Bao Ye raised an eyebrow, "How am I different?"

"It feels like you’re indulging me," Jiang Ruan mumbled, "You used to be so cold, no matter what I said to you, you’d just respond with ’hmm’ or ’okay’."

"Why are you talking so much today, and saying such sweet things, speaking right to my heart."

Jiang Ruan was wary, "Are you just pitying me because I had a fever and trying to coax me?"

"Bao Ye, if that’s true, please, save your sympath—"

Before she could finish, Bao Ye only heard a buzzing of flies by his ear.

She was saying ungrateful things.

He pinched her lips with his long index finger and thumb, stopping her words.

He said, "Weren’t you talking a lot? Go on, keep talking?"

Jiang Ruan red at him, angrily raising her hand to pull his hand away.

But he easily held her hand in his palm, leaving her unable to move.

Bao Ye chuckled lightly, as if mocking her.

"Bao Ye, you’re bullying me!" came the muffledint.

"Yes, I’m bullying you," he said.

Jiang Ruan’s little face looked so pitiful, as if she would cry in the next second.

Bao Ye knew she was pretending, but his heart softened anyway.

He let go of her, saying softly, "I wasn’t coaxing you."

"Do I, Bao Ye, look like the kind of person who would coax someone?"

His tone was full of pride.

Indeed, he didn’t seem like that.

From the day she met him.

His face was always... cold as ice.

"Jiang Ruan." Bao Ye suddenly called her name, speaking very seriously, "Don’t degrade yourself for me in the future."

Even now, Bao Ye still felt the pain in his heart when he heard those words from Chen Nan.

Damn it, like there was a huge stone pressing on his chest.

She knelt to others for his sake.

Pleading for him.

Bao Ye was cold-hearted and emotionless.

But she, Jiang Ruan, was his damned exception.

To put it bluntly, all these years he had indulged her and pampered her, even putting up with her little tempers.

The golden canary he personally raised was to bow down to those small fry?

They were not worthy.

Jiang Ruan knew she couldn’t escape his watchful eyes, she said, "I was just anxious, otherwise, why would I kneel to your mom."

"Bao Ye, my knees turned purple from kneeling."

Only then did Jiang Ruan remember, sounding utterly aggrieved.

"I know," Bao Ye said, "I applied medicine for you."

"The doctor said it will be fine in a couple of days, don’t take on any work for now, alright? Push back what you can."

"Stay home and heal."

"But I’ll be so bored staying home alone," Jiang Ruan pouted.

Then the man said, "I’ll stay with you."

Jiang Ruan’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Then you won’t go to work?"

"If you don’t go to thepany, what about the Bao Family?"

She couldn’t believe it.

Would he really give up work just to stay with her?

Ah, this is like some fanciful romance novel plot.

Jiang Ruan suddenly felt like he had the aura of a domineering CEO.

Ah, spit.

He actually is a domineering CEO.
