CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 372: GIVING HER A GIFT

Listening to the girl’s mumbling, Bao Ye’s eyes trembled fiercely, tightly pursing his thin lips.

He suddenly felt an impulse to rush to her side immediately.

But his back wasn’t fully healed yet, and for the past month, he had been getting acupuncture every couple of days, so he could only walk now.

But he still couldn’t exert any force with his back.

This made Bao Ye very frustrated.

After all, even if he went back and saw her, he could only look and not... sleep together, which Bao Ye couldn’t accept.

Matters of dignity, he absolutely couldn’t just go meet her like this.

Feeling her mood drop, Bao Ye’s dark eyes shimmered as he coaxed her, "I bought you a gift."

"You’ll receive it tomorrow, and you should like it."

Hearing about the gift, Jiang Ruan got excited, "What kind of gift?"

"It’s not jewelry or diamonds again, right? I have to tell you, there’s still a lot of jewelry and diamonds you’ve bought for me that I haven’t even worn yet, no need to buy me new ones."

"No," Bao Ye said, "You’ll know when you see it tomorrow."

After chatting a bit more, Bao Ye said he was busy.

After hanging up the phone, Bao Ye held his phone in his hand, not coming back to his senses for a long time.

Until he heard Chen Nan’s voice in his ear, "Mr. Bao, did Miss Jiang call?"

Bao Ye raised his gaze, gave Chen Nan a glance, his face not looking so good, "Mm."

After thinking for a bit, Bao Ye said, "Chen Nan, go buy me some things back."

Chen Nan said, "Okay."

Half an hour later, the things Bao Ye wanted, Chen Nan had bought them all back.

When they arranged for a double-door refrigerator to be moved into the office, Chen Nan still hadn’t reacted.

He didn’t understand why Mr. Bao was buying a refrigerator.

And so many flowers.

"Mr. Bao, everything you wanted has been bought back."

Bao Ye slowly got up, walked steadily over, looked at the bundles of roses of various colors on the ground, feeling very satisfied.

Then for the entire afternoon, Chen Nan watched Bao Ye cut roses and then put them into the refrigerator one by one as decorations.

Chen Nan asked in surprise, "Mr. Bao, you’re not planning to give Miss Jiang a refrigerator full of roses, are you?"

Bao Ye, holding a rose in his left hand, plucking off extra petals with his right hand, was just about to respond when suddenly his finger was viciously cut by a sharp thorn on the stem.

Bao Ye gasped sharply, the greenish-white fingertip instantly flooding with blood, rapidly and unstoppably flowing into his palm.

Chen Nan was startled, exclaimed Mr. Bao, and quickly brought tissue to hold it for him.

"Mr. Bao, press on it, I’ll go find a band-aid."

Bao Ye wrapped the injured finger with tissue.

Soon, Chen Nan brought the band-aid over.

The cut was over a centimeter long.

Fortunately, the band-aid was wide enough to cover it perfectly.

Chen Nan then breathed a sigh of relief, apologizing, "Sorry, Mr. Bao, it was all my fault for distracting you."

"If not for me, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt."

Bao Ye glanced at him, "Now you know."

"With so many roses, why don’t I help you cut them?" Chen Nan suggested, "That way it’ll also be faster."

But Bao Ye refused, "No need."

"Get back to your work, if you’re too idle, I’ll give you more tasks..."

"No, no, no." Chen Nan panicked, chuckling with tears, "I’m not idle at all, I still have a bunch of things waiting for me, I was just dropping off a document for you."

"Then I’ll get busy, call me if you need anything,"

"If Miss Jiang finds out that this refrigerator full of roses was hand-cut by you, she’ll definitely be particularly touched,"

Bao Ye raised an eyebrow, just about to ask if she would like it, suddenly thinking of something else, he said, "Don’t tell her."

Chen Nan asked in surprise, "Why not?"

Bao Ye replied irritably, "I told her I’m on a business trip, if you tell her, I’ll be exposed."

Hearing this, Chen Nan couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Turns out Mr. Bao lied again.

Counting this, it’s the third time he’s lied in over a month.

But it can be understood.

Chen Nan said, "Okay."

"By the way, rose thorns are plenty, Mr. Bao, you must be careful, here are two more band-aids, I’ll leave them here for emergencies."

After saying that, Chen Nan went out.

Bao Ye looked away, continued trimming the roses, he was very meticulous, every flower was trimmed to perfection by him.

Actually, this was something Bao Ye accidentally saw online in the past few days, saying that if a boyfriend gives his girlfriend a refrigerator full of roses, his girlfriend will be especially happy.

He wondered if giving them to her would make her happy.

She thinks gemstones and diamonds are too cliché, giving her roses should be quite elegant, right?

Bao Ye thought about it, finally feeling a little better after being frustrated for a month, the corners of his lips curling into a subtle arc.

Finally, after more than three hours.

The sky outside had already turned completely dark.

Bao Ye finally finished trimming the roses.

Chen Nan came in, seeing the refrigerator full of roses, was instantly amazed.

"Wow, that’s really beautiful."

Bao Ye’s hands were both numb, but hearing this, his tone revealed pride, "I cut them, how’s it?"

Chen Nan praised, "Beautiful, impressive."

"Miss Jiang will definitely be overjoyed when she receives it."

"Mr. Bao, are you planning to send it now or tomorrow?"

Bao Ye said, "Find a spray bottle, spray some water on the roses, have it delivered tomorrow morning."

"Remember, have them be careful, don’t ruin my roses."

Chen Nan responded, "Yes."

"Mr. Bao, you haven’t eaten yet, have some dinner first."

Chen Nan asked him, "What would you like to eat?"

Bao Ye was indeed hungry, casually mentioned a few dishes, and Chen Nan went to buy them.

Chen Nan hadn’t eaten either, so the two of them ate face to face.

During the meal, Chen Nan noticed that four out of Bao Ye’s ten fingers were wrapped in band-aids, all on the right hand, obviously cut.

The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

The cost of this refrigerator full of roses was truly a bit high.

It’s a pity, Miss Jiang doesn’t know about this.

Chen Nan felt a bit sorry for Bao Ye.

"Mr. Bao, you’re really good to Miss Jiang." Chen Nan said, "It’s probably Miss Jiang’s blessing for eight lifetimes to meet you."

Bao Ye leisurely ate his meal, extremely gentlemanly.

Hearing this, he glanced at him nonchalantly, "Are you flattering me?"

Chen Nan shook his head, "No, I really think so."

Chen Nan sighed, "Even though I don’t quite understand, maybe this is love."

Hearing the word love, Bao Ye’s chopsticks paused but soon returned to normal.

The next day.

Jiang Ruan slept early last night, woke up particularly early today.

Sleeping alone at home made her sleep somewhat uneasy.

Jiang Ruan dreamed of Bao Ye again last night.

Thinking that he would only return at the end of the month, and they wouldn’t see each other for another month, Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but sigh.

At this moment, a servant came in.

"Miss Jiang, Mr. Bao’s gift for you has arrived, it’s in the living room, do you want to go down and have a look?"

Upon hearing about the gift, Jiang Ruan’s eyes lit up abruptly, she climbed out of bed, "I’ll go take a look."

Going downstairs, the servants were all gathered around a large refrigerator.

Jiang Ruan was curious, "Did you buy a new refrigerator for the house?"
