Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 187 - 173: When a Woman Courts a Man, It’s as Easy as Piercing a Veil
Jiang Ruan nodded, "Delicious."
Perhaps sensing his intention, Jiang Ruan’s eyes glinted with amusement. He was trying to get her to share a bite.
She pinched a piece of popcorn and brought it to his lips, "Strawberry flavored, very sweet. Try it."
She offered it to him, so Bao Ye wasn’t about to refuse. His thin lips parted, and he bit into the popcorn.
The moment it touched his lips, he could taste the sweetness.
Just as Jiang Ruan was about to let go, he accidentally or intentionally licked her fingertip!
Their eyes met, Jiang Ruan’s cheeks instantly flushed, but the man remained composed, as if nothing had happened.
As he ate the popcorn, Bao Ye’s voice was magnetic, "What’s wrong?"
Jiang Ruan bit her lip, "Nothing."
She withdrew her hand, letting it hang beside her as she lightly rubbed her fingertip, still feeling his warmth.
Such a subtle action couldn’t escape Bao Ye’s notice.
Bao Ye had done it on purpose.
His gaze fell on her reddened ear tips, feeling satisfied inside. Her skin was really thin.
Feng Meiling had just finished arguing with Si Chen.
With a snort, she came over, "Brother Bo, you should talk to Si Chen. He’s supposed to be a grown man, but he keeps nitpicking me."
"If only you were half as mature as Brother Bo."
Feng Meiling’s tone was full of grievances.
Si Chen was confused, "How am I not mature?"
"Aren’t you annoying, always telling me to be more mature?"
These two are just a bickering pair of sweethearts.
Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but laugh, "Okay, you two stop arguing."
Jiang Ruan ate popcorn, teasing, "You two argue every time you meet, don’t you ever get tired of it?"
Si Chen and Feng Meiling spoke in unison, "No."
After speaking, they both paused.
They glared at each other, refusing to talk.
To be precise, neither of them appreciated the other.
Jiang Ruan had long noticed that Feng Meiling liked Si Chen, but she felt Si Chen was too immature.
She just didn’t know what Si Chen thought.
Everyone has their own personality.
Although Si Chen was indeed a bit lively and seemed not very mature, people do grow up.
Not everyone is born mature like Bao Ye, who was extremely mature.
At seventeen, he took over the Bao Family’s big corporation, showing just how strong and capable his mind was then, able to battle with a group of old fellows.
Feng Meiling and Si Chen stayed for dinner.
Bao Ye had the kitchen prepare a table full of dishes.
The four of them ate happily.
The atmosphere was great too.
After dinner, Jiang Ruan excused herself to take a walk in the garden with Feng Meiling, casually mentioning it to Bao Ye, who had no objections, and the two of them went.
In the garden, the servants followed at a distance.
Jiang Ruan wore a white waist dress, her long hair gently cascading, soft and serene. She looked pure and charming with an exceptional temperament.
Feng Meiling walked beside her.
As they spoke, Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but ask her, "Do you plan to keep going like this with Si Chen?"
"I can tell you like him. Does he like you?"
Feng Meiling shrugged, "I don’t know."
"What other choice do I have? We fight all the time even as good friends. He’s too immature. If we were really together, wouldn’t we end up fighting all the time out of anger?"
Jiang Ruan laughed, "That probably wouldn’t happen."
"Plus, I think Si Chen, although a bit lively, is quite reliable and dependable. People mature gradually, and one must take the initiative."
Feng Meiling retorted, "Why do I have to be the one to take the initiative?"
"I don’t lack people who like me. Why should I lower myself to coax him into being with me? I wouldn’t do that."
"I’m not saying you should lower yourself," Jiang Ruan raised her eyebrows, smiling sweetly, "Haven’t you ever heard the saying, ’A man chasing a woman is like climbing a mountain, but a woman chasing a man is separated only by a veil’?"
