CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 382: YOU’RE FINALLY BACK (PART 2)

Bao Ye held Jiang Ruan’s hand, placed it on the belt, and looked at her with a smile in his dark eyes, coaxing softly, "Baby, undo it."

Jiang Ruan blushed and bit her lip, "I can’t see."

"Why don’t you lie over there? I’ll undo it for you?"

"No need." Bao Ye chuckled, saying, "I’ll guide you to undo it."

Jiang Ruan was speechless, "Then why don’t you just undo it yourself?"

"That’s not possible."

Bao Ye said earnestly, "The experience is different."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

And so, Bao Ye held Jiang Ruan’s hands to undo the belt.

But with hands in between, and Jiang Ruan groping blindly, it was impossible to be perfectly nimble.

So, accidentally, Jiang Ruan’s hand veered off course.

"Ah." She shrieked, blushing from her cheeks to her neck.

Bao Ye’s breathing deepened, eyes filled with desire, his voice hoarse, "Tsk, so eager."

Jiang Ruan tried several times but couldn’t undo it, and hearing this, she glared at him, blushing, "Who’s eager."

"You’re clearly teasing me on purpose, I’m not doing it, you do it yourself."

Just as Jiang Ruan was about to withdraw her hand, Bao Ye quickly grasped it, pressed it on the belt buckle with a click, directly opening the belt.

Bao Ye praised her with a smile, "Good job, baby."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

When they finished, it was already past two in the morning.

Bao Ye didn’t push her too hard this time, keeping his promise and leaving Jiang Ruan with some breath.

Lying in Bao Ye’s arms, Jiang Ruan touched the Buddha Beads on his wrist, making the cold beads warm with her touch.

They talked about many topics.

Bao Ye had his eyes closed but wasn’t asleep, no matter what she asked, he answered patiently.

Though he was very brief with his words.

Truly economical with words.

Jiang Ruan suddenly thought of something and patted his chest, "By the way, let me ask you something."

Being patted unexpectedly, thinking it was something significant, Bao Ye opened his eyes.

"Hmm."

Jiang Ruan, "At the beginning of the month, Bazaar Era suddenly contacted me to shoot a cover ad, does this have anything to do with you?"

"You didn’t pull some strings for me, did you?"

Bao Ye didn’t even think before answering, "No."

The man’s voice was very faint, "You’re now fully fledged, you no longer need me to pull resources or ads for you. As long as there’s a reputation in the country, except for roles like specific award-winning actresses, you basically have most of it."

"You should trust your own strength, having them come to you voluntarily is your capability, has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Ruan stuck out her tongue with a smile, "I was just wondering if you secretly opened the backdoor for me again, otherwise how would the editor-in-chief of Bazaar Era reach out to me when there are so many award-winning actors and actresses."

"But I’m still confident, what’s the matter with award-winning actors and actresses, sooner or later, I’ll also earn that honor through my own efforts."

Jiang Ruan didn’t hide her ambition.

Being an idol star was never her dream.

Her dream was to become a globally recognized, red-carpet-crossing award-winning actress.

Upon hearing this, pride surfaced in Bao Ye’s dark eyes. He reached out to rub her head, "Ambition."

"Keep it up."

His encouragement was the greatest motivation for her to push forward.

"You still haven’t told me if anything interesting or unusual happened to you these last two months." Jiang Ruan lay on his chest, skin touching, looking up at him.

Bao Ye, "No."

The only interesting and unusual thing was despite being exhausted from a day’s work, he couldn’t help but run back late at night to see someone sleeping soundly.

Bao Ye couldn’t help but want to laugh at the thought.

He twitched the corner of his lips, fearing she’d notice, didn’t dare too big a smile.

Jiang Ruan was not satisfied, "Ah."

"Then are you busy with work every day, isn’t it all work as soon as you open your eyes?"

Bao Ye paused for a moment, "Hmm."

"Oh well, then you really work too hard." Jiang Ruan felt distressed, raising her hand to massage his temples, easing him, "This time when you’re back, you should take a good rest, after all, health is the most important, and it’s just right tomorrow is the weekend, why don’t you give yourself a break?"

Bao Ye opened his eyes, holding her hand, "No need."

"I’m not tired."

"Go to sleep, darling."

But Jiang Ruan wasn’t sleepy at all, "I can’t fall asleep right now."

Upon hearing this, something dangerous flashed in Bao Ye’s eyes. He tightened his arm around her waist, lowered his head to her ear, whispering warmly, "Then how about, a few more rounds?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruan’s expression immediately changed, she pushed him away without a word, laying down properly, "No, I’m sleepy, I want to sleep!"

Then closed her eyes.

She flipped her face faster than a book!

Bao Ye chuckled in exasperation but didn’t make it difficult for her.

Soon, Jiang Ruan really fell asleep.

Holding her in his arms, listening to her steady breathing, Bao Ye found himself somewhat unable to sleep.
