Chapter 269 - 254: On Leave—Sorry, Not Feeling Well Lately, No Updates—Don’t Read, Will Resume Tomorrow
The message wasn’t retracted yet when the phone buzzed.Chen Jiao replied in seconds: [Understood, rest assured Mr. Bao.]
Jiang Ruan: "..."
She already saw the reply.
What was the point of retracting it now?
A laugh came from above her head: "Ahem, still want to retract it?"
Jiang Ruan bit her lip, raised her head to glare at him, seeing his schadenfreude face, she angrily said, "It’s already been replied to, what’s the use of retracting it now!"
Saying this, Jiang Ruan turned off the phone and tossed it aside.
Bao Ye wrapped his arms around her waist.
Jiang Ruan squirmed, struggling: "No more hugging, let go."
Bao Ye: "Tsk."
"Why are you mad? I’m just helping you solve a problem."
"Didn’t know how to reply, right? I helped you, and instead of thanking me, you throw a tantrum?"
Ungrateful person.
"Who asked for your help?" Jiang Ruan huffed, "I just wanted you to help me think about how to reply, but you went ahead and sent a message directly, and in your name."
"What if it affects my friendship with her?"
Bao Ye’s eyes darkened, and he said lightly, "If your friendship is that fragile, that it can’t withstand a single word from me, then maybe it’s better to end it sooner."
Jiang Ruan was at a loss for words: "You..."
But she also felt there was some truth to his words.
Seeing the man’s face turn unhappy, obviously upset by her words, Jiang Ruan blinked and leaned in to wrap her arms around his neck.
Her long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing matching pajamas with him, looking oh-so-obedient, she smiled sweetly to coax him: "Don’t be mad."
"I know you meant well."
Bao Ye glanced at her, watching her change moods faster than flipping through a book, with a ghostly tone: "Weren’t you just saying you didn’t need my help?"
He coldly: "Jiang Ruan, I have my temper too."
"Oh, come on, I know." Jiang Ruan swayed as she coaxed, leaning into his face to give him a loud smack on his handsome cheek.
The sound was quite clear.
"Alright, don’t be mad, I know you’re doing it for my sake."
"This little thing isn’t worth getting mad over, right?"
Bao Ye, being coaxed, felt better instantly, but kept a stern face: "Well, good intentions go unrewarded."
"From now on, handle your matters yourself. I’m done with them."
Thinking, can a single kiss make it all better?
Don’t even think about it.
Jiang Ruan: "Oh come on, you just said to go with the flow with me, once a gentleman’s word is given, it can’t be taken back, don’t go back on your words."
She turned the tables, Bao Ye’s lips twitched, looking down to see her blinking innocently at him, playful and cute like a lively pure young girl.
Making him want to partake in her charm.
Bao Ye’s eyes darkened immediately, his Adam’s apple bobbing, he released the hold on her waist, and directly pinched Jiang Ruan’s chin.
He leaned down close to her, close enough to touch, biting back his anger: "Really can’t do anything about you."
Jiang Ruan simply pushed her luck, leaning forward to kiss his lips from his hand’s hold.
Bao Ye didn’t expect her to be so forward, his hand pinching her chin shifted to hold her neck, resting on her shoulder.
Bao Ye took the lead, Jiang Ruan quickly gave in.
"Bao Ye... no more..."
She was nearly out of breath.
Bao Ye’s eyes were hazy with desire, releasing her, his voice hoarse beyond recognition.
"Idiot, don’t you know how to breathe?"
Jiang Ruan took deep breaths.
After catching her breath, just as she was about to speak, Bao Ye flipped her over by the waist.
Jiang Ruan looked up, her dark eyes a bit dazed from the after-effects of the kiss, Bao Ye knowing she’s usually a bit slow with this, only found her adorable.
He leaned over, biting her lip: "Kiss me, hmm?"
"Seducing me?"
Jiang Ruan blinked, stubbornly: "I’m not."
"Jiang Ruan, there’s no turning back once you draw the bow."
"Dare to act, dare to face the consequences."
Kissing her lips, his fingertips landed on the buttons of her silk pajama collar, whispering bewitchingly in her ear: "Be good, with me you won’t lose out, be it the east wind or any wind, you get to ride it alone."
His sweet talk was enchanting.
Jiang Ruan was utterly bewitched.
Her cheeks flushed, looking at the usually aloof and untouchable man, yet now he was kissing her and saying such intimate words.
Inside, Jiang Ruan felt a great sense of satisfaction.
The hand resting on his chest turned to wrap around the man’s slender waist.
Later on, Bao Ye watched as the string of diamond anklet on her ankle swayed continuously in front of him, sparkling brilliantly.
It was even more of a thrill for him.
The man’s eyes were filled with scarlet.
—
The next day at noon.
Sun Yu and Liang Pengbo prepared lunch for the day, while Jiang Ruan and Chen Jiao chatted outside. With someone recording, Chen Jiao didn’t mention any inappropriate topics.
Soon, a rich aroma wafted out.
