CHAPTER 296: CHAPTER 276: BAO YE GETS JEALOUS

In an instant, Jiang Ruan’s heart nearly stopped.

She felt surrounded by his piercing gaze, even though they were a few meters apart, amidst the laughter and chatter, it felt as if he had locked onto her.

Their eyes met, and Jiang Ruan appeared a bit bewildered.

And a little excited.

He saw her.

This made her heart leap with joy, and soon the tension in her body eased, and she offered him a bright smile.

But quickly, the man looked away as if nothing had happened and continued talking with the person next to him.

He was busy, so Jiang Ruan decided not to disturb him here.

Seeing him already made her quite happy.

Thinking this, Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but chuckle to herself; why was she acting like someone with a love-struck mind?

Shaking her head helplessly, she turned around, just about to leave.

And just happened to run into Liang Pengbo walking towards her, looking especially dapper today in a white suit, open at the collar, with high-end jewelry around his neck.

With makeup on, he appeared both youthful and fresh.

He was the perfect blend of alluring and innocent, like a little puppy.

Since the reality show, Liang Pengbo’s career was on the rise.

It’s said he got a new role recently, and things were going well.

Seeing her, Liang Pengbo was very excited and quickly walked over enthusiastically: "Sister Jiang Ruan."

"Long time no see, I didn’t expect to see you here."

Jiang Ruan smiled: "Yes, how have you been lately?"

"I heard you’re about to start a new project, aren’t you planning to take a break?"

Liang Pengbo laughed: "Everything’s going well, I’m young, I can adjust quickly."

"My manager says I’m currently at a career high, so shooting continuously is beneficial for me and keeps the fans from forgetting me."

Jiang Ruan praised: "That’s great, very ambitious."

"I wish you all the best."

Liang Pengbo: "Thank you, Sister Jiang Ruan."

On the other side, as Bao Ye socialized, he occasionally glanced over, happening to see the two chatting happily and smiling broadly.

Bao Ye’s eyes darkened instantly, and his grip on the wine glass subconsciously tightened. He tilted his head back and took a sip.

His long neck exposed an elegant curve, and his Adam’s apple rolled as he swallowed, exuding allure.

The sweet, slightly astringent wine slid down his throat, and Bao Ye’s expression remained unchanged. However, after a few minutes, when he turned his head again, he found that there was no sign of the two anymore.

Bao Ye’s face turned dark.

No matter how grand the organizer’s aspirations were, he didn’t have the mind to listen, and he coldly tossed out a few words: "Sorry, something came up, excuse me."

Then he turned around and left directly.

The Cartier organizer was dumbfounded.

They looked at the others, speaking in not-so-fluent Chinese: "Did I say something wrong?"

The heir shrugged and smiled: "I don’t think so, Mr. Bao’s personality is always hard to grasp."

"Don’t overthink it."

Only then did the organizer breathe a sigh of relief.

Leaving the fountain, Bao Ye took out his phone to text Jiang Ruan.

Just as he typed the words, he saw the familiar figures a little distance away at the bar, who else could it be but Liang Pengbo and Jiang Ruan?

The two were sitting close, clinking glasses.

Liang Pengbo was animatedly talking to her, showing none of a male star’s poise.

He looked exactly like a mischievous kid.

During the shoot, Bao Ye already found him quite annoying.

With all the gossip online, even if he didn’t keep a distance, he was sticking to Jiang Ruan like glue.

Either he’s simple, or he’s profoundly scheming.

Bao Ye didn’t think he was simple.

Staring for a while, Bao Ye was just about to walk over.

A gentle female voice sounded behind him.

"Bao Ye."
