Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 415 - 385: Caught in the Act

Bao Ye asked a sharp question, "Did you sleep with her?"

Chen Nan nearly choked on his drink and nodded, "Yeah, I did."

"Isn’t that quite normal? Besides, everyone was an adult back then, so what’s the big deal?"

Yet Bao Ye cursed, "Player."

Chen Nan: "..."

Chen Nan was exasperated, "How does that make me a player?"

"You slept together but didn’t take responsibility," Bao Ye replied.

Chen Nan was anxious to say more, but Bao Ye cut him off, "I’m not interested in your lousy romantic history. I just want to ask you one thing. What’s the difference between liking and loving someone?"

Chen Nan: "..."

He really wanted to say something.

Mr. Bao, even though I’m your assistant and quite versatile, I’m not a love expert.

Asking him about the difference between liking and loving.

Chen Nan didn’t even know.

But he was savvy with the internet, using online jokes.

So, Chen Nan cleared his throat, "A person’s life is long, and you can like many things and people, but there’s only one person you love the most forever."

"If you want to know the difference between liking and loving, the former means you want to be with her now, while the latter means you want to spend a lifetime with her."

Hearing this, Bao Ye paused, his ebony eyes lighting up like seeing a beacon in the dead of night, suddenly everything became clear.

He wanted to spend a lifetime with her,

"Chen Nan, are there any auctions coming up in Beijing?" Bao Ye deliberated as he asked.

Speaking of which, since Bao Ye asked him to pay attention last time, Chen Nan really had been keeping an eye out.

"Yes, it’s next Saturday."

"It seems to be a luxury-themed auction, with all kinds of jewelry and diamonds."

"Mr. Bao, do you need anything? I’ll check it for you."

Bao Ye answered without hesitation, "An engagement ring."

Chen Nan felt momentarily deaf and did not react, "Huh?"

"Mr. Bao, what did you say?"

Bao Ye’s face darkened, and his tone intensified several times, "I said an engagement ring."

"Did you hear me clearly?"

Chen Nan nodded rapidly, "Heard it loud and clear, heard it loud and clear."

Chen Nan was excited, "Mr. Bao, are you planning to propose to Miss Jiang?"

Getting an engagement ring so soon. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Wow.

Miss Jiang surely is something.

Disappear for two months, then one night, and she has Mr. Bao asking him about the difference between liking and loving.

That means Bao Ye realized he’s fallen in love with Miss Jiang, right?

Bao Ye’s tone was ghostly, "Do I need to report to you as well?"

Chen Nan instantly deflated, "No, no need. I am your assistant, and you are my boss. How dare I ask you to report to me."

Bao Ye snorted, "As long as you know."

"If there’s nothing else, you may leave."

Hearing this, Chen Nan could only sigh from the bottom of his heart.

This must be what they call burning bridges after crossing them, using a person and then tossing them away.

Chen Nan, "Yes, Mr. Bao."

"If you need anything else, just let me know."

Saying this, Chen Nan was just about to turn and leave, then suddenly remembered something.

He turned back, with a broad, welcoming smile on his face, "Mr. Bao?"

Interrupted, Bao Ye didn’t even lift his head, "Speak."

"About that two hundred thousand just now, what do you think..."

Before he finished, Bao Ye said, "Transferred to your account by the afternoon."

"Oh, excellent," hearing this, Chen Nan felt like he was invigorated, "Then Mr. Bao, I’ll leave you to it, I’m going out now."

He then walked out with his back straightened and his spirits lifted.

This is the charm of money.

Chen Nan never expected that one day, his love life could help him earn two hundred thousand.

Tsk tsk.

He instantly felt more motivated to work.

However, come nightfall, Chen Nan couldn’t help but feel sad again, remembering his third girlfriend, he felt guilty.

Sigh.

In life, choosing between career and love is often the hardest decision to make.

Choosing career meant losing love.

Since the day they broke up, she had blocked him on all contact platforms.

Years had passed, Chen Nan thinks she must have married, had kids, and is living a happy life now, right?

Thinking this, Chen Nan took a few more drinks.

The next day he was at work, feeling groggy.

-

Lately, Jiang Ruan has been keeping in touch with Su Tiantian.

Based on her interactions with Su Tiantian, Su Tiantian, at twenty-four, seems innocent and lively, but perhaps a bit too naive.

Like a child untouched by the harshness of the world, an innocent girl who knows nothing of worldly matters.

The more this is the case, the more Jiang Ruan felt she couldn’t reveal her presence to Bao Ye and Boss Zou.

Bao Ye had said, Boss Zou is not a good person.

Informing him of Su Tiantian’s whereabouts would be akin to pushing her into a pit of fire.

Jiang Ruan couldn’t do such a thing.

That afternoon, Su Tiantian texted Jiang Ruan.

Su Tiantian: [Are you free today? I have no classes today, should we go out and have some fun?]

Jiang Ruan had arranged to meet Su Tiantian twice already, but due to her busy class schedule, she hadn’t had the time.

It so happened that Jiang Ruan had nothing much on that afternoon either, so upon seeing Su Tiantian’s message, she immediately agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Ruan: [Sure.]

The two of them then agreed on a meeting place.

Jiang Ruan changed clothes and drove off to pick her up.

With spring blooming, the weather warming up, Jiang Ruan dressed simply in a black long-sleeved top with high-waisted flared jeans.

She wore small white sneakers below.

She looked clean and crisp in this outfit.

Her hair was down, she wore a hat, and of course, a mask, as safety always comes first when stepping outside.

Upon picking up Su Tiantian, Jiang Ruan noticed she dressed sweetly today, with wavy curls and little bow hair clips.

She wore a floral dress.

"Long time no see, Jiang Ruan." Getting in the car, Su Tiantian greeted her warmly.

Not at all shy.

After all, they’d been chatting on WeChat every day recently.

Su Tiantian really liked Jiang Ruan.

Felt she had no diva airs about her.

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Yeah, it’s been a while."

"It feels like you’ve grown even more beautiful, Tian Tian," Jiang Ruan complimented.

Su Tiantian’s face turned crimson, instantly shy, she cupped her cheeks with both hands, "Really?"

"But don’t you think I’ve gotten fatter? Lately, I’ve been craving late-night snacks, and several times I couldn’t resist sneaking a bite."

Jiang Ruan, holding the steering wheel, glanced over at her during a red light, "No, you’re already slim enough."

"Eating a little is fine, health is the most important, don’t starve yourself."

Su Tiantian sighed in relief, "That’s good then."

"My manager says the same thing, whenever I’m afraid of gaining weight, she tells me to eat. And after I eat, she tells me to exercise, isn’t that contradictory? After exercising, it’s like I didn’t eat at all, so sometimes I just skip eating because I’m too lazy to exercise."

Jiang Ruan listened patiently, then burst into laughter, "She might be afraid you’ll gain weight, but also scared you’ll starve, so she wants you to balance work and rest."

"That’s not the only reason," Su Tiantian said, "My health isn’t great, there used to be unexplained fainting spells and headaches, they want me to improve my physical fitness."

Jiang Ruan was surprised, "Sudden fainting? Did you see a doctor?"

Su Tiantian, "I did, but the doctor couldn’t find anything."

"Maybe it’s just something about my constitution."

"Alright, we’re out to have fun today, let’s not talk about unhappy things, no one’s here to stop me, I’m going to eat all the good food with you today!" Su Tiantian said excitedly.

Jiang Ruan found her so adorable, she looked at her with affectionate eyes and said, "Okay."

Little did they know, as they made a turn, there was a Rolls-Royce parked not too far away.

Inside the car, Chen Nan said to the man in the back seat, "Mr. Bao, I saw Miss Jiang’s car pass by."
