Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 201 - 187: Bao Ye, Give Me a Smile

Jiang Ruan laughed, "The direction of a perfect man."

Bao Ye: "..."

"Bao Ye, could it be that you’re doing something bad behind my back, and that’s why you’re suddenly being so nice to me?" Jiang Ruan suddenly joked.

Bao Ye raised an eyebrow and said, "What bad thing could I possibly do?"

"Like, seeing someone else behind my back?"

Jiang Ruan immediately got angry, "Bao Ye!"

That’s too much.

He knows she’s joking.

"Do you believe it?" Bao Ye interrupted her, staring straight into her eyes like a black hole, as if he could see through her soul.

"When I say this, do you believe it?"

He called her name, "Jiang Ruan?"

She answered without hesitation, "I don’t believe it."

Jiang Ruan snorted, "Don’t try to provoke me. As far as I know you, you’re not the type to cheat, but nothing’s ever absolute. You just pray I don’t find out; otherwise..."

"Otherwise, you’ll break up with me, right?" Bao Ye laughed, his eyes full of amusement.

Seeing her holding back her temper, he found her incredibly cute.

The more she was like this, the more it showed she cared about him, didn’t it?

"Yes, I’ll break up with you and stay far away, and we’ll never see each other for the rest of our lives."

Jiang Ruan said fiercely.

Even her gaze turned harsh.

After being with Bao Ye for so long, Jiang Ruan’s behavior sometimes inexplicably resembled his.

Bao Ye was also momentarily taken aback by her words, as if seeing a glimpse of himself in her.

He curved his lips and commented, "Harsh enough."

"Decisive enough."

"That part mirrors me."

"I taught you well."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Why does he sound so proud?

Jiang Ruan was helpless.

"Shall we go after eating?"

Jiang Ruan yawned lazily and said, once full she tended to get sleepy, especially after a day of busyness, she was truly tired.

But Bao Ye said, "Wait a moment."

Jiang Ruan just wanted to ask him why, and then she saw the originally quiet sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window suddenly start to burst with fireworks.

The crackling fireworks were deafening even through the window, lighting up the entire restaurant.

Jiang Ruan’s eyes lit up instantly, "Wow, someone is setting off fireworks!"

Jiang Ruan excitedly got up and ran over, like a little kid.

Bao Ye smiled in his eyes, got up, and followed her.

Seeing her excitedly taking pictures with her phone.

Flashing a peace sign at the phone.

Cute as she was, his eyes involuntarily showed affection.

His phone in his pocket vibrated.

Bao Ye pulled it out, and it was a message from Chen Nan.

[Mr. Bao, everything’s done as you instructed.]

Bao Ye glanced at it, responded with a cold "Mm," and then put the phone back in his pocket.

"Bao Ye, come on over!" Jiang Ruan called him excitedly, waving him over, "Let’s take a selfie together."

"I don’t think we’ve ever taken a picture with fireworks before!"

Bao Ye came over, instantly making her look shorter, he said, "I’ll hold it."

No matter how high Jiang Ruan raised her hand, she couldn’t fit both of their faces in the shot.

She felt helpless and just gave up.

Handing her phone to him, "Here, you take it."

Bao Ye took it, aiming the selfie camera at them. He didn’t actually like taking pictures.

Because Bao Ye doesn’t like to smile, the photos always come out cold and expressionless.

He doesn’t enjoy looking at them either.

Moreover, Bao Ye isn’t accustomed to taking pictures.

But at this moment, with the fireworks filling the sky, exceptionally romantic, Bao Ye held up the phone, feeling the sentiment surge in his heart unwittingly.

Seeing her excited little face, he instinctively bent down, adjusting his height.

Jiang Ruan was even more proactive, raising her hand to hug his waist, resting her cheek against his chest.

Like a lover, she beamed at the camera with a sweet smile.

Bao Ye paused slightly, hesitated with his other hand hanging by his side, but eventually he still embraced her.

He had a complicated expression in his eyes.

He’s not used to being close to her in front of the camera, yet he can’t help but crave that closeness.

Like right now.

Bao Ye pressed the quick button, snapping several photos.

Jiang Ruan distinctly noticed he wasn’t smiling.

She shook the arm around his waist, acting coy, "Bao Ye, smile please."

"You’re so handsome, smiling would make the photos even better."

Jiang Ruan flashed all her small white teeth at the camera, demonstrating playfully, "Like this."

Bao Ye’s lips twitched, still not mimicking, "I don’t know how to smile."

"That’s impossible." Jiang Ruan didn’t believe him, "Who can’t smile? I don’t buy it. Plus, who is it that’s always teasing me with a smile every day?"

At this, she suddenly thought of an idea.

Jiang Ruan called out, "Bao Ye."

Bao Ye looked down, "Mm?"

Out of the blue, Jiang Ruan stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips.

Bao Ye hadn’t even reacted, a heavy tremor surging in his heart.

After kissing his lips, Jiang Ruan kissed hard at the corner of his lips and on his chin, hugging him and cooing, "Come on, you look the best when you smile."

"Give me a smile."

"Come on."

She’s so good at coaxing people.

The pleading tone, the dependent voice.

Paired with this warm embrace.

Bao Ye’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and even the rationalist in him couldn’t resist falling into her tender charm at this moment.

It’s not charity.

He willingly fell, relishing it all.

So, facing the camera, Bao Ye finally let the corners of his lips curve into a smile, looking at the sweetly smiling Jiang Ruan.

If you look closely, the smile in his dark eyes also carried warmth, affection, and perhaps even a small hint of happiness he hadn’t realized yet.

The backdrop of fireworks, and their shared intimacy under them, were captured and frozen at this moment in the phone.

Jiang Ruan took back the phone, looking at the photos they just took, noticing in the last one they were both smiling, she felt moved, grinning as she boasted to him, "See, you look so good when you smile."

"I say you should smile more, don’t always put on a stern face, that can make you age faster."

Bao Ye shot her a glance, his tone cool, "Do I look old?"

This sounded a bit dangerous.

Jiang Ruan, ever clever, "Not old, not old, you are in your prime, in your youth, I was just saying."

Bao Ye snorted lightly, "You really know how to flatter."

The fireworks outside continued.

This was Jiang Ruan’s first time watching fireworks with him, as she turned off the phone, she stayed by his side.

Watching the vibrant fireworks outside the window, they’d been going on for half an hour and hadn’t stopped, each one lighting up the whole sky.

She couldn’t help but exclaim, "I wonder which wealthy tycoon is setting them off, it must cost a fortune?"

Bao Ye listened and replied, "Mm."

Jiang Ruan gazed at the fireworks, naturally letting her mind wander to memories, "When I was little, I loved watching fireworks, but people where I lived were poor, and no one would spend money on fireworks. Only when someone was getting married, there’d be fireworks the night before, but just a few, and it’d be over quickly."

"Watching those fireworks then, I used to think, when I get married, will I have fireworks of my own? I hoped they’d never fade so I could watch them forever."

"Thinking about it now, childhood seems so innocent, thinking everything would be so perfect, but reality is harsh."
