Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 436 - 394: Call Me Brother

Zou Ji looked at Su Tiantian kindly, even tenderly, with a tone that Jiang Ruan had never heard so serious: "Jiang Ruan told me your name is Su Tiantian?"

Su Tiantian was surprised, Jiang Ruan already told him her name, so she didn’t need to introduce herself.

"Yes, my name is Su Tiantian."

Su Tiantian’s eyes sparkled like stars, her voice sweet and soft: "Suzhou’s Su, serene Tiantian."

Zou Ji was stunned; was she mimicking his way of speaking?

Aside from the joy, there was a trace of bitterness; it seemed she truly didn’t remember him at all.

"What a beautiful name." Zou Ji’s lips curved into a smile as he complimented, "Sweet, just like you."

His eyes were so deep, almost like they could see into people’s souls, looking at her, paired with that handsome face.

Su Tiantian’s cheeks flushed immediately, she shyly lowered her head: "Thank you for the compliment."

Watching their interaction, Jiang Ruan suddenly felt a bit redundant here.

Judging by Zou Ji and Tiantian like this, there was definitely no need to worry about safety.

Jiang Ruan tried to ease the situation with a smile: "Tiantian is pursuing her graduate studies, she’s quite the scholar."

"Once she graduates, she’ll be a graduate student."

"Right, Tiantian?"

Seeing both of them looking at her, Su Tiantian said embarrassedly: "I’m clumsy, I can’t do anything besides studying."

Zou Ji saw her awkward appearance, she was just like a frightened little rabbit, amusement floating in his eyes.

Trying his best to ease her tension: "Loving to learn is a good thing, many people don’t have such awareness, like me, I just coasted through college and went straight to work after graduation."

"Tiantian’s definitely a good girl."

Zou Ji called her very affectionately.

Jiang Ruan immediately picked up on it, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Su Tiantian, her cheeks were very red, her voice soft and delicate, like she was acting coy: "Stop complimenting me, if you continue, I’ll find a hole to hide in."

Saying this kind of thing, always complimenting her.

Su Tiantian had thin skin.

She was too cute, Jiang Ruan and Zou Ji were both amused.

Soon, the dishes arrived.

Today’s dishes were all ordered by Zou Ji, he said Su Tiantian liked them, but once the dishes were served, Su Tiantian frowned: "Why is there lamb? I hate lamb the most."

Zou Ji was stunned: "You don’t like it?"

Yet he distinctly remembered, Su Tiantian’s favorite was cumin lamb...

"I don’t like it," Su Tiantian said, "I’m allergic to lamb, eating it makes me vomit and feel awful."

Upon hearing this, Zou Ji immediately turned his head to call the waiter to remove all the lamb.

Su Tiantian nervously said: "No need to remove it, I won’t eat it, you all can eat."

Zou Ji said firmly: "No, if you don’t like it, it won’t be served."

From start to finish, Jiang Ruan felt like air.

She had already felt redundant more than once.

Zou Ji and Su Tiantian continued chatting about the lamb topic, Jiang Ruan quietly took out her phone to send a text message to Bao Ye.

[Everything’s going smoothly, except that I feel a bit redundant here, like a thousand-watt light bulb.]

[Helpless:jpm.]

Just after sending it, within two minutes, Bao Ye’s reply came.

[Want to find an excuse to leave first?]

[I have a meeting, it should finish in half an hour, I’ll come get you?]

Jiang Ruan felt warmth in her heart, but she still refused.

[No need, you take care of your work.]

[I’m thinking of going to the beauty salon later for some skincare treatment.]

Anyway, there’s nothing else today.

Soon, a text from Bao Ye arrived.

[Okay.]

[Use my card, get the best treatment.]

Jiang Ruan looked at it, the smile on her lips uncontrollable, completely immersed in her chat with Bao Ye, so much so that she didn’t hear Su Tiantian call her several times.

Until Zou Ji’s deep voice came: "Jiang Ruan?"

Only then did Jiang Ruan suddenly snap out of it, instinctively turning off her phone and looking up: "Huh?"

Only to realize Zou Ji and Su Tiantian were both looking at her.

Jiang Ruan coughed awkwardly: "What’s up?"

"Weren’t you guys talking? I suddenly have a bit of something."

Her phone brightness was adjusted very low, plus she used a screen privacy filter.

So there’s no worry that Su Tiantian would see who she was chatting with.

"Tiantian asked you if after dinner you want to go to the haunted house with us." Zou Ji said patiently.

His gaze was always fixed on Su Tiantian.

Those two dark eyes were overwhelmingly gentle.

If Jiang Ruan didn’t know who he really was, with that windbreaker and seemingly harmless demeanor, she might really think he was a good guy. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Yes, let’s go to the haunted house, Jiang Ruan, I heard there’s a new haunted house nearby, my classmates say it’s super intense, and I haven’t been yet." Su Tiantian said excitedly.
