CHAPTER 377: CHAPTER 377: ARE YOU BEING CHASED BY A GHOST?

Rong Qingqing was waiting for him to leave the doorway. As he approached, she sprang onto the desk, crawled across, jumped to the ground, and bolted out the door in a flash.

The fluidity of her leap left Shen Jue dumbfounded.

Could Rong Qingqing actually be that agile?

Shen Jue chuckled, then turned his gaze to the painting Qingqing had just been working on.

At a glance, his face turned black.

Focusing on the crooked writing in the bottom right corner, Shen Jue’s expression darkened further.

"Rong! Qing! Qing!" Shen Jue now confirmed that what she had been mumbling while painting earlier was indeed about him; he hadn’t heard wrong.

After Rong Qingqing dashed out of the study, she hurried down the stairs and collapsed onto the sofa in the living room, panting heavily.

"Sister Qingqing, did you just run down from upstairs?" Shen Qiao was stunned, "Why didn’t you take the elevator? Were you being chased by a ghost?"

"Something scarier than a ghost." Rong Qingqing waved her hand.

Just then, Shen Jue emerged from the elevator, and Shen Qiao burst out laughing.

Seeing Shen Jue come down, Rong Qingqing immediately looked at him with the wariness of a startled cat.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jue merely glanced at her, then turned to Nanny Zhao, "I have plans tonight, no need to prepare dinner for me."

With that, Shen Jue called Lin Bufan and left straight away.

Rong Qingqing only ran to the door to check after making sure Shen Jue drove away.

"Your brother really just left like that?" Rong Qingqing was still surprised.

"My brother didn’t seem happy, did you notice? The way he glanced at you just now was so fierce it looked like he wanted to swallow you whole." Shen Qiao clicked his tongue, "So fierce."

Shen Jue scheduled a meeting with Rong Ming.

So, after Lin Bufan picked up Rong Ming from the Rong Family, they went to the restaurant they had reserved in advance.

Even though Shen Jue is getting engaged to Rong Qingqing next week, Rong Ming still doesn’t like this brother-in-law. Rong Ming feels that ever since Rong Qingqing got engaged to him, nothing good has happened.

"Brother Shen Jue, did you ask me out because you have something on your mind?" Rong Ming is not as familiar with Shen Jue as with Shen Xingwei.

But now since Rong Qingqing and Shen Xingwei have separated, Rong Ming doesn’t bother with Shen Xingwei either.

"I’m getting engaged to your sister next week, so I wanted to ask you about her interests to surprise her at the engagement party." Shen Jue said, "Do you know her favorite color or flower? Also, what does she like to eat?"

Rong Ming was very surprised; he didn’t expect Shen Jue to ask him out for something like this.

To be fair, Rong Ming felt a slight improvement in his impression of Shen Jue.

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand yet, as they haven’t spent much time together.

But it’s enough as long as one is willing to make an effort to understand.

Shen Jue never cared this much about Rong Jiaojiao before.

Listening to what the Shen Family said about Rong Qingqing and Shen Jue being close, Rong Ming hadn’t believed it, but now he thinks he might believe it a little.

"My sister likes low-key, simple things, doesn’t like anything too bold. She appreciates everything elegant and understated. Her favorite flower is the white lily, and she likes lighter colors—those Morandi whatnots they talk about in art, but I don’t really understand it."
