Chapter 228: Presidential Suite

Boss Cutie

If Xia Xiran went abroad to study, she would officially exit his life.

She wouldn't bring any trouble to him and Leng Ruoli. Most importantly, a change of scenery would let Xia Xiran forget him sooner and start a new life.

In addition, Jiang Muye could use Xia Xiran to take down Yu Xi.

Yu Xi would be arrested, and Xia Xiran would leave. It was a chance to kill two birds with one stone.

【Congratulations, Host. You rejected Xia Xiran and earned three hundred Grit Points. Please continue to work hard.】 the System reminded.

When Xia Xiran saw the contents of the guarantee letter, tears blurred her eyes.

The man before her had unconcealed coldness and indifference in his eyes, and it chilled her heart.

She didn't believe he could be so heartless.

So she delayed signing it.

"In the past, you said you'd treat me well for a lifetime and would never do anything to hurt me. Why have you changed now? For Leng Ruoli's sake, you can turn on me…" Xia Xiran's lips carried a bitter smile.

A chill tinged Jiang Muye's brow, and he was fiercely Protecting His Own. "This has nothing to do with Ruoli. There's no need for you to drag her into this. Besides, I'm protecting myself and Ruoli. If not for your aggressiveness, why would we have to resort to such a measure? Who's the one who's really changed here?"

Leng Ruoli also backed Jiang Muye up against Xia Xiran. "You say we're targeting you, but didn't you hurt Muye too? On what basis do you pretend to be so innocent?"

Xia Xiran's lips quivered. She wanted to say something, but swallowed it back down.

Her tears wreaked havoc across her face helplessly.

She wasn't willing to fail just like that.

She wasn't willing to give everything up and leave just like that either.

She'd clearly been holding a winning hand, and now it was all gone.

She really wanted to struggle to the bitter end, but what cards did she have left?

Xia Xiran's eyes were dim and lightless. After hesitating for a moment, she tore up the guarantee letter right in front of Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli.

This was beyond Jiang Muye's and Leng Ruoli's expectations.

Jiang Muye was astonished.

Even after all this, Xia Xiran still wouldn't give up? If the three of them kept entangling themselves like this, it wasn't fair to anyone.

Just as Jiang Muye was preparing to use Plan B, Xia Xiran said sorrowfully, "I'll go abroad to study."

This surprised Jiang Muye slightly.

Xia Xiran continued, "You want me to expose Yu Xi's crimes, and I'm willing to do it. But I won't sign the guarantee letter. I, Xia Xiran, don't like being forced to do things by anyone."

She believed that signing the guarantee letter would mean completely severing her relationship with Jiang Muye.

Xia Xiran naturally wouldn't agree to that. There was still a bellyful of resentment in her heart that she hadn't had the chance to vent. Handing Jiang Muye over to Leng Ruoli for free? How could that possibly happen?

She would come back. By then, the version of her returning home would be even stronger and more outstanding than she was now. She would absolutely be Leng Ruoli's most powerful rival, and by then, Jiang Muye would definitely have a change of heart toward her.

After all, Jiang Muye had once liked her so much. How could he possibly be cruel enough to have not a shred of feeling for her?

The reason she was accepting the chips Jiang Muye had offered now was simply to deepen his impression of her and make him feel favorably toward her. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Perhaps during the days she was gone, he would miss her.

"I'm helping you, so all my expenses for going abroad have to be covered by you." Xia Xiran said decisively.

At least through this method, she and Jiang Muye could still keep a little connection.

"Fine." This bit of money was nothing to Jiang Muye.

By then, Jiang Muye could have his secretary handle everything with Xia Xiran and wouldn't even have to come into contact with her. Under the healing of time, Xia Xiran wouldn't be so fixated on him anymore.

The important thing was that he didn't want to keep entangling himself with Xia Xiran. That wasn't fair to Leng Ruoli either. It was basically paying money to buy some peace and quiet.

After talking everything through with Xia Xiran, Jiang Muye noticed that Leng Ruoli was propping up her head, looking a bit woozy. She was clearly unable to hold her liquor.

So Jiang Muye said to Xia Xiran, "I hope you keep your word. Tomorrow, I want you to go expose Yu Xi's theft."

Before Xia Xiran could even get a word out, she saw Jiang Muye gently rubbing Leng Ruoli as he walked out.

The tenderness in his eyes and brow was something she had never been faced with.

This made Xia Xiran intensely jealous. She instinctively rose to chase after him, but a waiter surrounded and intercepted her, shoving a long string of bills at her. "Excuse me, miss, please settle the bill. What payment method will you be using?"

Xia Xiran's breath caught. She had forgotten about this huge problem.

Seeing the countless zeros on the bill, she wanted to cry but had no tears. How could a meal at this place be so expensive? It was practically going to wring her wallet completely dry.

In the end, Xia Xiran had no choice but to borrow money from several roommates to barely pay off the sky-high meal cost. By the time she chased after them, they were already nowhere in sight.

Xia Xiran was like a deflated ball, utterly dispirited.

Now it was all for nothing. She had nothing left.

The night was dark and the wind was high.

After helping Leng Ruoli out and getting in the car, Jiang Muye heard the System's reminder: 【Congratulations, Host. You checked in at the Western Restaurant for half an hour and earned five hundred Grit Points.】

Just as Jiang Muye accepted the System's reward, he suddenly heard a coquettish muffled hum.

"It's so hot today…"

As soon as that sweet voice rang out, it hooked Jiang Muye's soul.

In the dim light, Leng Ruoli's skin was visibly flushed. Her eyes were as blurry as if she were drunk, and she instinctively tugged at her collar.

Unbuttoning the top two or three buttons wasn't enough. Leng Ruoli showed signs of wanting to keep going.

Yet already, tender white and beautiful skin was presented, along with deep, alluring lines that drew the eye. The curve of her black lace underwear had already been outlined.

Not to mention Leng Ruoli's skin was as delicate and lovely as a lotus, stirring the imagination.

Jiang Muye's breathing grew heavy.

He grabbed Leng Ruoli's slender white hand in one motion and scolded, "What's wrong with you?"

Leng Ruoli's spring-water eyes held innocence and pitifulness. "I don't know either. I'm just uncomfortable all over my body."

She leaned forward, rubbed her face against Jiang Muye's shoulder, and let out a long breath of relief. "It feels so nice hugging you."

Jiang Muye's breath caught.

Seeing Leng Ruoli, this little clingy creature, acting so forward, he realized this was very abnormal.

He suddenly thought of the glass of Champagne Leng Ruoli had drunk, and everything clicked.

Could something have been added to the Champagne? That was why the always pure Leng Ruoli had become so passionate now?

Looking at Leng Ruoli's delicate, tender appearance, Jiang Muye realized the seriousness of the situation.

He quickly took Leng Ruoli to a nearby hotel and booked the Presidential Suite.

The System's reminder rang out: 【Congratulations, Host. You successfully checked in at the hotel. You are rewarded with two hundred Stamina Points, enough to make you vigorous as a dragon and a tiger.】

Jiang Muye simply ignored this Old Driver System. Right now, his entire focus was on Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli was clearly quite uncomfortable, trying hard to restrain herself, but her skin was flushed, and she clung longingly to Jiang Muye's waist, unable to bear letting go.

This was torment for Jiang Muye as well.
