Fallen To The Ruthless Obssessive CEO-Chapter 517 - 444_3

"There’s still time," Bao Ye said, "The auction starts at 7:30. We don’t have to be there right on time. I’ll come pick you up."

Jiang Ruan’s eyes lit up, "Alright."

-

The auction was on the tenth floor of the South City Star Association.

Bao Ye and Jiang Ruan stepped out of the elevator to be greeted by men in suits and women in luxurious attire, exquisite dresses showcasing their status.

Bao Ye mentioned that the auction targets the prominent families of Beijing, meaning all the attendees were influential figures in the area.

Everyone who saw Bao Ye greeted him politely with smiles.

Then their gazes fell on Jiang Ruan.

"Oh, this must be Miss Jiang. She’s even more beautiful than on TV; truly a sight to behold."

Knowing she’d accompany Bao Ye to the auction in the evening,

Jiang Ruan had dressed up carefully, the blue strapless bustier dress complementing her fair skin, her long slightly curled hair cascading down her shoulders, pure and princess-like.

Her face made her even more enchanting.

Being praised at that moment, Jiang Ruan gave a modest smile, "Thank you."

Just as she finished speaking, she felt a weight on her shoulder.

A black suit jacket was draped over her.

Jiang Ruan was startled and turned to see Bao Ye in a white shirt, clearly having given her his coat.

He pulled her into his arms, full of possessiveness, with a serious look, "It’s cold with the air conditioning; don’t catch a cold."

Seeing this, that person gave another round of compliments.

"Mr. Bao is really considerate to Miss Jiang."

"Miss Jiang is really blessed."

"You two really are a perfect match."

Bao Ye glanced at him, too lazy to say a word, then held Jiang Ruan close and left.

Being openly held in his arms, among the many passing people, Jiang Ruan knew he was slowly making her identity known, giving her status.

Jiang Ruan’s red lips curled into a smile, feeling joyful.

However, draped in the coat, she felt a bit hot, so she looked up, "Bao Ye, I’m not cold."

Upon hearing this, Bao Ye glanced at her, "You’ll be cold later."

Jiang Ruan wanted to say something else, but he leaned close to her ear, his natural deep voice tempting and teasing, "Wearing so little, trying to allure someone, hmm?"

Jiang Ruan’s eyes widened, looking down at her dress, "This is a very proper strap dress, okay."

"The neckline is quite high already."

Grumbling, Jiang Ruan couldn’t help teasing him, "Mr. Bao, isn’t your possessiveness a bit excessive?"

She was not dressed in a revealing way.

"And besides, with you by my side, who would dare stare at me? Dressing up nicely is to give you face."

Jiang Ruan said, smiling.

Bao Ye interrupted, "A man who gains face from a woman is the most useless."

Jiang Ruan, "..."

Chauvinist.

"Keep it on for now, I’ll buy you a shawl later."

Bao Ye said, "In the future, don’t dress so purely when going out; people might think you’re a high school student who’s underage."

Standing next to him.

Giving the impression that he’s a cradle robber.

Many people along the way cast ambiguous glances, conveying exactly that.

Bao Ye wasn’t pleased.

"Alright," Jiang Ruan replied.

Nodding, she couldn’t help recalling a joke they once shared.

Uncle Bao Ye.

Tsk.

Thinking of it, Jiang Ruan couldn’t help the smile on her lips.

Suddenly, a deep voice from above.

"What are you secretly laughing at?"

Jiang Ruan quickly looked up, "Huh?"

Quickly recovering, she met Bao Ye’s dark eyes and gave a light cough, "It’s nothing."

His gaze was too direct.

Jiang Ruan explained helplessly, "I just remembered something funny."

"Alright, the auction’s starting. Let’s go in quickly."

Jiang Ruan shifted her attention, pulling Bao Ye to head inside.

Bao Ye could only let the matter go.

The auction wasn’t crowded.

But everyone was dressed exquisitely, either rich or noble.

Jiang Ruan turned to glance at their attire and jewelry and then looked back.

They were in the first row, VIP seats.

The two-seater sofa was quite comfortable.

Beside them were fruits and coffee, and Jiang Ruan speared a piece of cantaloupe, popping it into her mouth.

Mmm, so sweet.

She speared another piece, offering it to the man beside her.

"It’s delicious, try it," Jiang Ruan said, "It’s especially sweet."

Bao Ye looked up, seeing her bright and gentle dark eyes, and though not fond of sweets, obediently opened his mouth.

He ate the cantaloupe she fed him.

After finishing her first piece, Jiang Ruan couldn’t stop. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Every time she ate a piece, she habitually fed Bao Ye the second piece.

Bao Ye didn’t like sweets; Jiang Ruan knew that.

But eating more fruit can replenish vitamins.

His meals were always too monotonous.

The result was that Bao Ye accepted everything, eating all she fed him.

The two of them finished the whole plate of fruit, one bite after another.
