Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 202 - 188: If You Like Them, You Can Watch Them Often
Bao Ye actually didn’t know she liked fireworks; it was Chen Nan who suggested setting them off tonight.
Chen Nan said all girls like fireworks.
Because it’s very romantic.
Bao Ye didn’t care for romance, but figured if Chen Nan was right, then she would probably like it, so he let Chen Nan handle it.
Hearing Jiang Ruan’s words now, Bao Ye felt a bit uneasy inside.
After a moment of silence, he said, "If you like them, you can watch them often in the future." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"The Bao Family also has partners dealing with fireworks. They can bring a few hundred boxes and set them off outside the villa. You can have them do it whenever you want to watch."
Hearing this, Jiang Ruan was initially surprised.
Her heart was inevitably touched, but more than anything, she found it laughably absurd.
She said, "No need, as much as you like them, watching every day would get boring."
"Plus, fireworks are consumables." She pointed at the sky, "Look, they’re only beautiful while they’re being set off, but in just a few seconds they’re gone—as if they never existed—leaving only ashes behind. I like fireworks, but not their symbolism."
"Burning oneself to illuminate others."
"Such a great and selfless spirit is something I’ll never possess."
Bao Ye said, "Makes no difference."
"As long as you think they’re beautiful, that’s enough. Any symbolic meaning is just something made up by a bunch of bookworms."
"People live in the moment. No one’s a Bodhisattva, even if it were a reincarnation of the Buddha. If he had to endure ninety-nine kinds of worldly suffering, could he still remain so compassionate, detached from worldly needs, without a trace of resentment or selfishness?"
Bao Ye sneered, with a tone full of disdain, "It’s just different identities and statuses that make them feel benevolent."
Jiang Ruan found herself unable to refute.
She even thought he was quite right.
Jiang Ruan sighed, "Listening to you, I’m almost becoming an atheist."
"But there’s indeed some truth in it."
Just not much.
"Fireworks are just to be watched, for novelty’s sake, no need to buy them."
Even if we were to transport hundreds of boxes back.
Can’t believe he thought of that.
But Jiang Ruan had to admit, she was quite tempted.
Not by the fireworks, but by him at this moment.
Seeing the fireworks still going, Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but grumble, "I wonder which big dummy bought so many fireworks. If it’s for a wedding, fine, but otherwise, it’s really just idle, setting off so many fireworks must cost at least a million!"
Bao- the-big-dummy- Ye: "...."
The man’s brow furrowed immediately.
Starting to get annoyed.
Jiang Ruan kept on chattering.
"Wasting money and polluting the air."
"Do you even know how severe environmental pollution is right now?"
"As inhabitants of Earth, it’s our responsibility to protect the environment and resist pollution..."
With such posture, she might as well be an envoy of the Earth.
Bao Ye finally lost his patience, "Jiang Ruan."
"Hmm." Jiang Ruan looked up, "What is it?"
Seeing his unpleasant, cold expression.
She earnestly said, "I’m talking about the person setting off the fireworks, not you."
Bao Ye said in a deep voice, "I know."
But in his heart, he thought, I’m the one who had them set off.
When you say "he", you mean me.
Thinking this, Bao Ye got even more upset.
"Do you think he just has too much money lying around?" Jiang Ruan complained, "They’ve been going off for almost an hour. At the rate of several thousand per second, it must be a few million already."
Jiang Ruan tsked and said, "Truly wealthy."
"Being rich is good; to pursue romance, you can throw away millions like nothing."
Saying this, Jiang Ruan took out her phone and opened the camera, "Free fireworks, it’d be a waste not to take pictures, besides it’s not costing us anything."
"Didn’t spend a penny, yet watched a fireworks show from the best spot. Our dinner wasn’t in vain."
Jiang Ruan continued talking to herself, completely oblivious to the man beside her, whose face had turned dark.
Just then, the fireworks abruptly stopped.
The ringtone in the man’s pocket rang simultaneously.
The timing was just perfect.
Hearing the ringtone, Jiang Ruan turned her head.
What a coincidence?
