Chapter 206 - 192: Long Time No See, Lu Jie
Lu Jie curiously asked, "What’s going on?""Could it be that your family’s Mr. Bao has someone else on the side?"
Lu Jie teased.
Jiang Ruan stared wide-eyed, "What are you talking about? That’s impossible."
Lu Jie burst out laughing, "Look at you all panicked. I was just messing with you, you little worrywart."
"Quick, tell me, what did you discover?"
Jiang Ruan grinned like a woman who just fell in love. She leaned close to Lu Jie and said, "I discovered that Bao Ye likes me."
Lu Jie: "???"
Good thing she wasn’t drinking water.
Otherwise, she would have spit it out.
"Is that it?" Lu Jie’s lip twitched, "You two have been together for three years, and you’re only now realizing he likes you? What was all that before?"
"It’s different." Jiang Ruan said, "To be honest, neither of us felt much about emotions before; it was just a purely physical relationship, but recently I discovered Bao Ye has changed."
"He cares about me, calls me proactively, even pampers and hugs me. The night before last, he took me out to dinner and even arranged for over an hour of fireworks display."
Jiang Ruan cradled her face, asking Lu Jie, "Do you think he likes me?"
"With his icy personality, unless he likes me, I can’t imagine why he would change so dramatically overnight. It’s like he suddenly had an epiphany."
"Or maybe he’s seeing someone else and feels guilty towards you, so he..."
"Lu Jie!" Jiang Ruan panicked, "Stop talking nonsense."
"Do you want me to tickle you?"
Lu Jie quickly backed off, "Okay, okay, I won’t say anymore, I won’t say anymore."
Jiang Ruan said, "I’m not a fool. We’ve been together for three years at least, and I know what kind of person Bao Ye is."
"So what about Su Wan?" Lu Jie asked her, "Aren’t all the rumors online saying they’re childhood sweethearts destined to get married, a strong union?"
"Mr. Bao’s mom takes Su Wan everywhere, clearly treating her as a daughter-in-law."
"Didn’t you say his mom is hard to handle? What will you do then?"
Jiang Ruan’s red lips uttered two words, "Cold dish."
Her dark eyes were full of wisdom, "Bao Ye isn’t the kind of person who would be controlled by anyone, even if it’s his mom."
"Whatever he wants to do, no one can stop him."
Including loving him.
The important thing is him, not anyone else.
Lu Jie understood, "That’s good, having your own opinion is what matters. Isn’t there an old saying, ’once you enter a wealthy family, it’s like diving into the ocean deep’?"
"Ruan Ruan, I just want you to be happy," Lu Jie held her hand, "Nothing else is important, you know?"
Jiang Ruan replied, "I know."
She held Lu Jie’s hand back, "I want you to be happy too."
"We have to be happy together."
Lu Jie smiled, "Okay."
After eating, the two took separate taxis to go home.
When the cab arrived, Lu Jie was listening to an unexpected online meeting at the hospital. There were two cars parked by the roadside, and she glanced at the license plate numbers quickly before getting into one.
"Driver, 0809, you can head out now," Lu Jie said without lifting her head.
But from the front came a man’s surprised voice, "Miss, are you sure you got on the right car?"
"This isn’t a taxi."
Lu Jie quickly looked up, only to meet a handsome face deeply familiar to her bones.
"Shen Lv?"
Lu Jie was completely stunned.
She never expected the person she had secretly loved throughout four years of college would suddenly appear before her.
Shen Lv recognized her face as well, recalling who she was. The man’s deep-set eyes were calm, "Mm."
"Long time no see, Lu Jie."
