Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 444 - 396_3

Jiang Ruan was woken up. She had been busy filming last night, and it was already early morning by the time she got home. She had only slept for a few hours when she heard the servant’s words, and she couldn’t even open her sleepy eyes.

Nestled in Bao Ye’s arms, she noticed that he hadn’t moved for a while, and the servant at the door had left.

Yawning lazily, Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but complain, "Why is he here so early? Is there something for you?"

"Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Bao Ye, with his eyes closed, tightened his arm around her waist and buried his chin in her neck.

Bao Ye was a bit grumpy when woken up abruptly, and his temper was bad. He replied in an annoyed tone, "I don’t know."

"It’s probably nothing good."

"Ignore him. Let’s sleep a bit more."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan let out a snort of laughter and opened her eyes, noticing the deep dark circles under his eyes.

Both of them had been very busy lately.

He was also going out early and coming back late, busy with company projects.

Jiang Ruan felt sorry for him, pinching his warm cheek with her fingertips. She watched his eyelashes flutter lightly but he didn’t open his eyes.

She coaxed, "You go back to sleep, I’ll go down and ask him, see what he wants."

"If it’s nothing important, I’ll just throw him out."

It’s really disturbing so early in the morning.

Bao Ye raised an eyebrow. Originally, he was just saying it; he was planning to get up.

After all, Zou Ji was a business partner.

Perhaps it was something business-related, related to their collaboration.

Bao Ye, being a born workaholic, would never miss out on anything related to his career.

But hearing Jiang Ruan say she would go...

Bao Ye thought about it and found it acceptable.

Yes, that’s indeed his woman.

She’s got guts.

If Zou Ji was just being idle and causing trouble, and it’s just about his and Su Tiantian’s stuff.

Then she could just throw him out.

Handle his own business, if he can’t even pursue his own woman, then they shouldn’t be together.

Bao Ye thought slightly sarcastically.

There was soon no movement on the bed, Jiang Ruan got up and put on a nightgown, then threw on a coat. She looked down to check that her attire was fine and then went downstairs.

As soon as she came down, she saw Zou Ji sitting on the sofa with a bad expression.

In front of him was tea brought by a servant.

Jiang Ruan walked over and said, "Why did you come so early? Is something wrong?"

As she got closer, Jiang Ruan noticed that Zou Ji’s eyes looked like panda eyes, clearly showing he hadn’t slept for days.

He looked completely drained, with an extremely poor complexion.

Jiang Ruan was startled, "Are you sick? Why do you look so bad?"

Seeing her, a slight light shone in Zou Ji’s originally dull eyes, but not much. He awkwardly said, "Tian Tian recently, I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve asked her out several times, and she keeps saying she’s busy and won’t meet me."

"Jiang Ruan, do you know what’s been going on with her recently?"

"I feel like she’s avoiding me."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan was a bit taken aback. She said, "Did you two have a fight? Or are you upset with each other?"

Zou Ji frowned and said in a low voice, "None of that."

"Everything was fine, but suddenly she just didn’t want to see me anymore."

"It started last Friday. Before, she’d always reply to my texts immediately, or get back to me after she was done. But starting last Friday, I’ve sent her several messages, and she hasn’t replied to any of them."

"She doesn’t even answer my calls, or she rejects them, saying she’s busy."

"Usually, I know she’s busy with her studies, so I try not to disturb her. But on weekends, she used to text me, ask me out. Now she completely ignores me, and when I ask her out, she says she’s busy or studying."

Zou Ji sighed, looking very troubled. He asked Jiang Ruan, "You’re good friends with her, do you know what’s been going on with her lately?"

Being asked, Jiang Ruan’s mind was still on the fact that Zou Ji mentioned it started last Friday.

If she remembered correctly, last Friday, she had gone shopping with Lu Jie and Su Tiantian.

Could it be the things she said to Su Tiantian then, Su Tiantian took to heart?

And that’s why she started distancing herself from Zou Ji?

If that’s the case...

"Jiang Ruan?" Zou Ji’s voice came to her ear, he said, "Are you listening to me?"

Jiang Ruan snapped back to reality and nodded, "I’m listening."

Zou Ji interrupted her, his expression very serious, "You know something, don’t you?"

"Or did Tian Tian suddenly regain her memory, so she doesn’t want to see me?"

These past few days, Zou Ji had thought of every possible reason he could.

He still couldn’t come up with an outcome.

He even recalled every interaction he had with Su Tiantian, and there was nothing wrong.

When she was with him, she was happy.

So why did she suddenly distance herself from him?

Zou Ji couldn’t figure it out.
