CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 288: RUANRUAN, I THINK I’M FALLING FOR YOU (2)

This woman seems easy to take care of, just like she said herself, she’s not picky with food, she ate everything given to her.

Thinking of Ruan Pianran, Chu Chen couldn’t help but lift the corner of his mouth, but in the next second, his smile stiffened and his brows furrowed.

She’s been gone for so long, did she fall into the toilet?

Thinking this, Chu Chen impatiently dialed Ruan Pianran’s number. After a few rings, Ruan Pianran’s cool voice came through the phone, "Dinner is over, there’s nothing more for me, right?"

What kind of attitude is this?

Hearing this, Chu Chen almost wanted to smash his phone!

"Whether there’s something or not, I say. You have thirty seconds, come back quickly," Chu Chen said through gritted teeth.

"I’m already on my way home."

Good!

Daring to ignore his warning, this woman’s courage is truly not ordinary!

"It’s your mom who told me to go home, anyway, I’ve done what I needed. From now on, we won’t interfere with each other." Hearing no response from Chu Chen for a second, Ruan Pianran explained coldly.

"Won’t interfere with each other? Huh, Ruanruan, I think I might be falling for you," Chu Chen said angrily, but with a hint of teasing.

"You’re sick! Get a doctor to check your head!"

Beep beep...

As soon as Ruan Pianran’s exasperated voice ended, the phone emitted a busy tone. Chu Chen held his phone, a playful smile emerging on his face.

"What are you laughing foolishly for?" As soon as Liao Baozhen walked into the room, she saw her son laughing to himself and couldn’t help but tease him.

Hearing this, Chu Chen turned around and responded with a question, "Mom, why did you send my girlfriend away?"

"You’re still trying to fool me? I’ve lived over twenty years longer than you, just by looking at her eyes, I can tell the girl doesn’t like you!" Liao Baozhen pulled a chair to sit facing Chu Chen, speaking irritably.

"What if she doesn’t like me? Sooner or later, I’ll make her fall for me. So, stop trying to set me up on blind dates anymore." Chu Chen crossed his legs, confidence shining in his eyes.

"That’s not certain! I think Ruanruan is a girl with her own mind, no matter how much you pester her, she may not like you!" His son’s life has been too smooth, without setbacks, so Liao Baozhen wanted to give Chu Chen a preventive warning to avoid extreme actions in the future.

Pestering?

Does that word suit him?

Chu Chen frowned in disagreement, complaining, "Mom, am I really your son? In your eyes, am I so unattractive?"

"Haha."

Hearing this, Liao Baozhen laughed. The relationship between the mother and son has always been very good, sometimes like good friends, joking and teasing each other, so they speak without any reservations.

"It’s not that you’re not good enough, it’s that everyone likes different things and needs different things. What you pride yourself on may be worthless in someone else’s eyes." Liao Baozhen spoke earnestly.

"Mom, are you giving me another lecture?" Chu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Haha, when do you ever have the patience to listen to me talk a few more words!" Liao Baozhen glared at Chu Chen, "Alright, since you find me annoying, I won’t say more. When you hit a wall, you’ll realize not taking advice always costs!"

"In my eyes, you are always eighteen years old, how are you old?" Chu Chen laughed.

Haha.

Liao Baozhen was amused again by Chu Chen, the joy in the crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes made her look elegant, charming, kind, and gentle.

"Always exaggerating, let’s go." Liao Baozhen said as she stood up, looking at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen smiled silently, affectionately placing his arm around Liao Baozhen’s shoulders, hugging her as they walked out of the room.

Luckily, Chu Chen was well-known, people knew he was rich and that his standards were high. Otherwise, hugging his charming mother like that, people might think he was courting a wealthy woman! But Liao Baozhen was carefree, she didn’t mind the attention and gracefully left the private club with Chu Chen’s arm around her.

After sending Ruan Pianran back to her parents’ house, Mi Jing returned home at half-past ten. She unlocked the door, greeted by darkness, evidently, Shen Lingxing wasn’t back yet.

Click!

She pressed the switch, the crystal lights on the ceiling lit up, instantly illuminating the spacious space.

In the evening, Mi Jing received a call from Shen Lingxing, saying he had a surgery tonight and might be home late. Though uncertain of his return time, after putting her bag on the sofa, Mi Jing went straight to the kitchen and prepared millet porridge, then sat in the living room watching TV.

Waiting for an hour, Mi Jing almost fell asleep, but Shen Lingxing wasn’t back yet. She dragged her tired body upstairs, took a shower, and went to bed.

"You’re back?" Unsure how long it had been, feeling the weight on her waist and abdomen, Mi Jing woke up slowly, blinking her sleepy eyes and asked hoarsely.

"Mm." After a busy day, Shen Lingxing’s brows were filled with fatigue, and he responded softly.

"Hungry? There’s millet porridge in the kitchen pot." Mi Jing rubbed her eyes and hugged Shen Lingxing.

"Already ate." Shen Lingxing hugged Mi Jing, closing his eyes, his handsome face full of contentment, as if holding her meant possessing the whole world.

"Very tired? Should I give you a massage?" Mi Jing sat up, her chin on Shen Lingxing’s chest, staring at him with her dark eyes.

"Okay." Shen Lingxing nodded.

"Then lie down."

Saying that, Mi Jing retreated from Shen Lingxing’s embrace, sitting aside and issuing commands.

Shen Lingxing cooperatively turned over, spreading his limbs on the bed.

After multiple practices, Mi Jing’s massage skills had significantly improved, the strength was just right, and the massage was thorough. Gradually, Shen Lingxing’s furrowed brows relaxed.

"Honey, what kind of person is Chu Chen?" Mi Jing’s sleepiness disappeared completely, her mind full of concern for Ruan Pianran’s lifelong happiness.

"Why?" Shen Lingxing asked, puzzled by Mi Jing’s sudden inquiry about Chen.

"Nothing much, it’s just that I think Chu Chen seems to like Ruanruan. If Chu Chen is reliable, pairing him with Ruanruan would be nice." Mi Jing smiled.

"Isn’t your friend just got out of a relationship?" Shen Lingxing frowned slightly.

"Yeah."

"Since that’s the case, she probably isn’t in the mood to think about such things now." Although Chu Chen was his buddy, they don’t meddle in each other’s personal matters, so Shen Lingxing didn’t support Mi Jing’s matchmaker idea.
