Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 562 - 461

Jiang Ruan let out a soft "hmm": "Won’t you let me be moved for a moment."

The words "Won’t you be late?" hadn’t even left her lips before the man cupped her chin and leaned in.

The two were lost in their sweet world, reluctant to part for a long time.

The result was that when she was first brought to meet the mayor, they were late.

The arrangement was for eight in the evening.

When they arrived, it was already ten past eight.

At the moment she stepped back from the private room door, Jiang Ruan had no desire to go inside. She had asked Bao Ye whether they would be late.

Bao Ye had said they wouldn’t.

Who would have thought it would be eight? In reality, it was already past eight, boo hoo.

Bao Ye remained calm, holding her hand as they entered. Once inside, Jiang Ruan saw a man sitting at the dining table, dressed in a dark brown suit with a gray tie, exuding mature charisma.

He didn’t look much older, probably around Bao Ye’s age.

With an impressive appearance, her first impression was that he seemed like a gentleman from an illustrious family.

"You’re here, Brother Bao." The man stood with a smile: "This must be your sister-in-law? Nice to meet you."

For the first time, Jiang Ruan heard someone call Bao Ye "brother."

Seeing Bao Ye was accustomed to it, Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Hello, I am Jiang Ruan."

"He Jing," the man introduced himself, casually picking up an exquisitely wrapped box that looked expensive: "This is a gift I prepared for your sister-in-law. Since it’s our first meeting, I didn’t know what she likes, so I bought a piece of jewelry as advised by my assistant. I hope she won’t mind the small gift."

"When you two get married, I’ll definitely make time to come by and give you a grand gift in person." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

At this, Jiang Ruan felt slightly embarrassed: "This."

She turned to Bao Ye, who said, "Take it."

Since Bao Ye had spoken, she politely said, "Alright then, thank you."

She accepted the gift.

Only then did He Jing smile knowingly.

Praising, "You and Brother Bao really make a great couple."

"Brother Bao is truly fortunate."

Bao Ye didn’t hesitate to retort: "Jealous? You should find someone too."

And with that, he guided Jiang Ruan to sit down.

Upon hearing this, He Jing laughed and subtly declined: "I’d better pass on that. I look like a dog busy every day, where would I find the time to build a relationship."

Saying this, He Jing casually touched the cigars in his pocket.

He was just about to take one out when he saw Jiang Ruan and decided against it.

He Jing asked someone to bring over the menu and handed it to Jiang Ruan.

"I’ve already ordered some of the signature dishes here, sister-in-law can add anything else you’d like to eat."

"I’ve been friends with Bao Ye for decades. I’ve been in other cities mostly due to work, so I’m not often in Beijing. Now I’ve been transferred back, we’ll definitely see each other often, so feel free and don’t be too polite with me."

With that said, Jiang Ruan relaxed.

She ordered a few dishes she loved, plus two Bao Ye favored, then handed the menu to the waiter.

The dishes soon arrived.

Along with the drinks.

They were drinking baijiu, which Jiang Ruan couldn’t handle well, so Bao Ye requested red wine for her,

and poured himself a glass, raising it: "We were late, I’ll punish myself with a drink."

And he downed it straight away.

Jiang Ruan raised her hand, barely touching it, but He Jing intervened: "No need for sister-in-law to drink."

Then said to Bao Ye: "I’ve said we’re among friends, there’s no need for such formalities."

"I’ve been transferred back to Beijing, so I might be stationed here regularly. In some aspects, I’ll need to ask for your help," He Jing said with a smile to Bao Ye.

"Of course, if you need my help, feel free to ask, we’re friends, no need for formalities."

Bao Ye replied, "Naturally."

Jiang Ruan listened to their conversation, quietly eating her food.

Then He Jing spoke up.

"I plan to spend the next year reshuffling the senior management in Beijing departments."
