Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 418 - 388

The man’s tone was icy, filled with an air of authority: "Go."

Chen Nan was momentarily stunned but quickly responded, "Yes."

Then he drove the car in that direction.

After arriving, Bao Ye took Chen Nan to the meeting.

Chen Nan was quite nervous. After all, the other party had already indicated they didn’t need to come, and now they were suddenly going, as if inviting a blow to their own face.

But with Bao Ye’s character, how could he possibly let himself suffer a loss?

Pushing open the private room door, before the other party could make things difficult, Bao Ye took the initiative, harshly targeting their weaknesses with a sharp tongue and a commanding presence.

He was never one to back down.

In all of Beijing, no one dared to underestimate Bao Ye.

Having been in a high position for years, every gesture and word from Bao Ye exuded authority.

His approach caught the other party off guard.

Although they didn’t give Bao Ye a warm welcome, the awkward scenario Chen Nan had imagined never occurred.

After all, everyone was at the table today for just one thing.

Profit.

Apart from that, all personal grievances were insignificant.

In the evening, Jiang Ruan, feeling bored, stayed in the study to paint.

It was one of those outline paintings with paint, of a sunset tulip, beautifully varied in colors and areas, bought while shopping with Su Tiantian during the day.

All she had to do was color according to the instructions.

Very simple,

Jiang Ruan painted meticulously, and when Bao Ye pushed the door open, he saw her holding a paintbrush, diligently working on the canvas.

Having just left a social occasion, he still had the smell of alcohol on him.

Bao Ye walked over and asked, "Why the sudden interest in painting?"

The sudden sound of a man’s voice interrupted Jiang Ruan’s thoughts. She looked up at him and smiled, saying, "Just passing the time, I’m bored."

"Let me see." Bao Ye said.

He was quite curious.

He hadn’t seen her paint before.

Wondering what kind of painting she could produce.

As he got closer, he saw it was one of those simple outline drawings sold outside. Bao Ye paused and couldn’t help but laugh.

Laughing so hard his shoulders shook, tears at the corners of his eyes: "Jiang Ruan, is this your painting?"

"If I remember correctly, isn’t this something for three-year-olds to do outside?"

Jiang Ruan’s face turned red instantly, and she covered the painting with her hands, saying, "No looking!"

"I said it’s to pass the time out of boredom. You’re not allowed to laugh at me. Besides, although it looks simple, it’s actually challenging, okay? How could it possibly be for three-year-olds?"

Jiang Ruan sternly objected, refusing to admit it.

Hmph.

Bao Ye smiled, feeling the study getting stuffy, he unbuttoned his collar, placing a hand on her shoulder: "Alright."

"As long as you like it, that’s fine."

With him beside her, Jiang Ruan’s mind naturally drifted away from the painting.

Putting down her brush, she looked at the man, leaned over, picked up his sleeve and sniffed, asking, "Did you go to a social event?"

"Your clothes smell strongly of alcohol."

Bao Ye responded.

Jiang Ruan wanted to say something more, but the man in front of her suddenly bent down, strong arms lifting her legs, and simply swept her up in his arms.

Suddenly lifted, Jiang Ruan let out a "ya" sound.

Instinctively wrapping her arms around Bao Ye’s neck, her dark eyes shining, her makeup-free face pure and gentle. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

At this moment she looked tenderly at him, concerned: "How much did you drink, are you drunk?"

Bao Ye said, "No."

Holding her, he sat down and placed her on his lap.

Pressing his chin on her shoulder, the rich scent of roses drifted over as he nestled into her hair: "So fragrant."

"Changed your shampoo?"

Bao Ye asked casually, his dark eyes glancing at her.

If he remembered correctly, she always used the gardenia-scented shampoo.

Today it suddenly changed.

Jiang Ruan: "Mhm, today I with..."

Halfway through, Jiang Ruan realized something was off, quickly corrected: "Sister Qin and I went to the mall after work, and this was recommended by the staff. It seemed nice, so I bought it."

Her tone was extremely natural, without a hint of anything amiss.

As if that was just how it was.

However, if Bao Ye didn’t know she lied to him today, saying she was at the company while actually going to the mall with someone,

He might have believed her.

In his dark eyes flashed an unusual emotion. Bao Ye’s gaze rested on her black hair, his fingertips playing with a strand slowly.

He asked casually, "Jiang Ruan, how long have you been with me?"

Suddenly questioned, Jiang Ruan quickly raised her head, then earnestly replied, "Almost four years."
