Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 569 - 464

Bao Ye casually put the phone aside, leaning against the bookshelf. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he had a perfect view of half the office.

Jiang Ruan held her breath as she heard the sound of high heels, and soon, a woman with a good figure appeared in front of the desk.

Wavy hair, white shirt, black pencil skirt.

The attire was very formal and elegant.

She didn’t look very old, around twenty-six or twenty-seven.

But her appearance was average, and Jiang Ruan felt relieved after a glance.

At this moment, the woman began discussing work with Bao Ye: "Mr. Bao, regarding the Victory project on our side..."

"This is the new proposal, please have a look."

"Alright."

Bao Ye raised his hand to take it and opened it.

As she watched the man focused on the proposal, the mature charm he exuded invisibly made her heart flutter.

Suddenly, Bao Ye’s voice interrupted her thoughts: "Is there anything else?"

The woman came back to her senses, meeting Bao Ye’s gaze, and she softly said, "There is one more thing."

"Go ahead."

"Lina, the CEO of SK Group China, wants to invite you to dinner tonight to discuss the details of this collaboration."

The woman hesitated: "This is already the third time this month she’s invited you for dinner, on your side..."

The implication was clear.

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan on the other end raised an eyebrow, it was the third time she invited Bao Ye to dinner?

Seems like she has some intentions.

Discussing collaboration details is just an excuse, right?

This so-called CEO obviously has her eyes on Bao Ye.

But doesn’t she know Bao Ye has already proposed to her, he has a fiancée?

Is she disconnected from the internet?

Knowing he is a married man and still wanting to be the third party?

Jiang Ruan’s lips curled.

But then she heard Bao Ye coldly say: "No meeting, if she has any issues, let her coordinate directly with the department. If it can’t be solved by the department, then let me handle it."

"She’s just a business partner, everything is for the sake of profit."

"Understood."

The woman went out.

As soon as the office door closed, Jiang Ruan’s teasing voice came through: "Oh, the female CEO of China area, huh."

"My dear Mr. Bao Ye, you’ve been invited to dinner three times and you never go, aren’t you afraid of breaking the beauty’s heart?"

Bao Ye knew that hearing this, she would definitely tease him.

As expected.

He glanced at her with dark eyes.

"What, you seem very happy to hear another woman inviting me to dinner?"

"Do you want me to go?"

His straightforward question left Jiang Ruan at a loss, how could she possibly want that.

But she definitely wouldn’t say something so narrow-minded.

"After all, she is your partner, if you want to have dinner with her, I can’t stop you."

"But that name is so common, Lina, probably doesn’t look good, surely not as good-looking as me."

Every word was filled with jealousy.

Bao Ye laughed: "Certainly not as good as you."

"And older than you, almost forty."

Jiang Ruan stared: "Wow, that woman is almost forty?"

"And she still invites you to dinner, is she trying to eat young grass?"

"She’s ten years older than you, she could almost be your mom."

Bao Ye’s lips twitched at the comparison...

"Don’t know."

"I heard she’s been married three times, and divorced three times, seems she has a bit of a delusional tendency. Just because her third husband didn’t put sugar in her coffee, she injured him in a fit of anger."

"This is what Chen Nan said."

Bao Ye doesn’t like gossip.

This was something Chen Nan told him when he was investigating her profile, Chen Nan loves gossip, especially interested in such matters.

"Isn’t that mental illness?" Jiang Ruan tut-tutted.

Bao Ye: "That’s what Chen Nan said too."

"Anyway, I guess she’s not entirely normal in the head, a bit delusional."

Jiang Ruan shivered: "Then it’s best you don’t dine with her, for safety’s sake, in case she has an episode and injures you."

Bao Ye casually: "She doesn’t have the ability."

"Even so, what is her company thinking, still letting her be the CEO, aren’t they afraid she might lose it and hurt company personnel?"

Bao Ye replied: "Her sister is the group chairman, who takes good care of her, which is why she holds this position. She has backing, and aside from the mental issues, her work ability is quite decent."

Jiang Ruan: "No wonder."

Jiang Ruan suddenly smiled and teased him: "You refused her again, do you think she’ll invite you again next time?"

Seeing her gloating appearance, Bao Ye’s gaze cooled. He curled his lips, without hesitation: "She will."

This time, Jiang Ruan was left speechless.

Looking at the man’s face, she bit her lip, pondering for a while, and finally blurted out: "Being rejected three times and still inviting you, she’s really thick-skinned."

Bao Ye was amused, put down the document in his hand, and picked up the phone.

Looking at his jealous little wife across the screen.

"Jealous?"

The man’s tone was full of laughter, his gaze tender yet teasing as he looked at her, he knew her too well.

Tough-mouthed and soft-hearted, unable to withstand provocation.

See, with just one sentence, she fell right into the trap.

"I’m not." Jiang Ruan sneered: "A forty-something woman with mental issues isn’t worth my jealousy. But honestly, if you really had dinner with her, would you even be able to eat?"

Bao Ye certainly wouldn’t be able to eat.

He is someone with a heavy sense of cleanliness, both psychologically and physically.

After chatting a few more lines, Bao Ye turned his attention back to work, as he couldn’t afford to delay important matters.

But the video call remained, and Jiang Ruan lay on the pillow, placing the phone beside her, watching him work.

She had to admit, the man looked most handsome when working.

Watching him for a while, sleepiness washed over her.

Jiang Ruan fell asleep.

The silence on the other end was overwhelming. After finishing the document, Bao Ye instinctively looked up at the phone.

He saw on the video call that she had closed her eyes and fallen asleep.

From this angle, the view was somewhat blurry, due to the dim bedroom lighting.

Yet Bao Ye couldn’t help but stare at her sleeping face, watching for quite a while before snapping back to reality.

The longing hit him, making him eager to quickly finish his work and reunite with her back home.

Then at this very moment, he could be sleeping on the big bed with her sweet and soft self in his arms.

His dark eyes shimmered with emotion, Bao Ye sighed with relief, opening the drawer beside him to take out a cigar.

Then he walked to the window.

Lighting it with a lighter, smoke swirled around his sharp face, he smoked, and couldn’t help but recall what his grandfather once said.

Why must a man have a family and career?

Having a family is so, at the end of a tiring day’s work, there’s a warm place to return to in the twilight.

And having a career is what a man naturally ought to do. Since ancient times, making money to support a family, oneself, and be filial to parents is a man’s responsibility.

Puffing out smoke, thoughts flooded Bao Ye’s mind.

Jiang Ruan had a very light sleep this time.

When she woke, it had only been over two hours since she fell asleep. She woke up groggily, instinctively reaching out to the side.

She wanted to cuddle with the man.

But her hand fell into emptiness.

Opening her eyes, Jiang Ruan remembered that Bao Ye hadn’t returned yet.

"Awake?"

The man’s deep, warm voice resonated from the phone, the tone very low.

Jiang Ruan glanced over and saw that the video was still ongoing. She was surprised and widened her eyes, moving closer to ask the man: "Why didn’t you hang up the video?"

"I even fell asleep just now."

Bao Ye responded calmly: "I was busy with work and forgot."

Jiang Ruan pouted: "Alright then."

She lazily yawned, holding the phone to glance, it was already midnight over here.

While it was still daytime there, Bao Ye was still at the office working.

Having just awoken, Jiang Ruan’s thoughts hadn’t completely returned to clarity, and her little woman instincts surged.

She bit her lip: "Are you still busy?"

"Yes, there are a few more documents waiting to be processed." Bao Ye continued typing on his computer, occasionally casting a glance over, seeing the small face on the screen, his tone softened a lot unconsciously: "What is it? Just woke up, not sleepy anymore?"
