Chapter 440: Where's the Other Earring?

# Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

## Boss Cutie

However, it wouldn't affect any aspect of Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli's daily life. The refrigerator was neatly stocked with ingredients, and there was even quite a lot of it. As long as Jiang Muye needed something, he just had to say the word and it would be delivered—even at night.

Jiang Muye was satisfied with this.

It was the equivalent of him and Leng Ruoli living together.

Heh, just thinking about living together put him in a good mood.

Although the two of them hadn't discussed it at that level, they had already tacitly accepted it, as if they were living the life of a young married couple.

Jiang Muye scooped Leng Ruoli up and set her down on the massage chair.

After he pressed the button, Leng Ruoli began to be massaged comfortably. The way she twisted her body in extreme comfort, even letting out strange little yelps and moans, made Jiang Muye's heart stir.

He leaned in and said to Leng Ruoli, "Mm~ It's not like I'm the one giving you the massage. Do you really have to be this comfortable? You sound like I did something to you. If the servants heard, they'd definitely get the wrong idea."

"You you you…" Leng Ruoli, who hadn't really been asleep thanks to the massage, immediately opened her eyes when she heard Jiang Muye's teasing.

Jiang Muye's smile deepened. "What's wrong? It's true."

He put on a pitiful look. "Ah, what a shame. All I can do is watch and listen, but I can't actually do anything!"

He'd expected Leng Ruoli to comfort him a bit, maybe let him cop a feel around her waist or steal a kiss on her cheek, but none of that happened.

Instead, Leng Ruoli put on a pitiful look of her own and faced him. "Muye, can you not be so fierce? Woo woo, aren't you tired at all? You just got out of the car."

Jiang Muye smiled. "No. Also, you need to call me husband."

He reached out and affectionately tapped Leng Ruoli's forehead.

"Alright, husband~ let me rest a bit." Leng Ruoli grabbed Jiang Muye's arm. "I'm so tired."

"If I didn't know you were tired, could I have you sitting here safe and sound right now?" Jiang Muye raised an eyebrow. "You'd have been pinned down long ago. I'd say I'm being pretty considerate—look, I'm even giving you a massage."

Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly. "You're so good."

"Good girl, add 'husband.'"

"Husband, you're so good." Leng Ruoli satisfied Jiang Muye's demand.

Hearing that, Jiang Muye's mood instantly brightened.

The gloomy feeling of wanting to eat but being unable to was swept away completely.

"Heh heh, then in a bit, husband will take you to take a bath." Jiang Muye nodded.

"Husband, you're not some production-team donkey that never stops, are you?!" Leng Ruoli had clearly let her mind wander, her eyes wide.

Being teased like that by Leng Ruoli left Jiang Muye speechless. He was about to reward her with a knuckle to the head. "Is your husband really that lacking in self-control? Besides, just now I wanted to do you a favor and help you bathe, and then you go and start thinking about dirty things."

Leng Ruoli's face flushed red, and she muttered, "Well, I was corrupted by you."

"Is this what they call birds of a feather?" Jiang Muye teased.

Leng Ruoli snorted. "I'm not stinky. I smell great."

"Yeah, my stinky treasure. The little stinky treasure who also likes to leave stinky socks lying around. Smells great." Jiang Muye nodded in agreement.

"I don't leave stinky socks lying around. Hmph, you're framing me~ You're the one who likes to clean up after me." Leng Ruoli glared at Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye coaxed her. "Yes, stinky treasure."

"You big stinky treasure!" Leng Ruoli pressed her forehead against Jiang Muye's.

Jiang Muye said with a laugh, "I won't be in a bit. I've got to go take a bath, and then I'll leave you alone to be all stinky by yourself."

"Then I'll go wash by myself."

"No. We have to go together, otherwise we can't save water." The corners of Jiang Muye's mouth curled up, and once the massage ended, he picked Leng Ruoli up.

"Let's go, let's take a bath." There was a mischievous look in Jiang Muye's eyes.

Leng Ruoli giggled as Jiang Muye carried her away.

After Jiang Muye took Leng Ruoli to the bathroom, he casually set his phone down on the marble counter.

Ding-dong— A message notification sounded.

But Jiang Muye, busy playing lovebirds in the water, didn't notice at all.

By the time he finished bathing Leng Ruoli, nearly an hour had passed.

Jiang Muye went to dry his hair and check his phone while he was at it.

As a result, he saw an unread message.

It was a WeChat message notification from Xiang Shan.

Oh, he'd completely forgotten to delete her after collecting the money.

Jiang Muye opened the message.

Xiang Shan: 【Hello, have you seen one of my earrings? It's pale gold, just like in the picture.】

Jiang Muye saw the picture of the earring Xiang Shan had sent.

He didn't actually remember it well. He didn't pay much attention to girls' accessories—his girlfriend's, of course, being the exception.

Jiang Muye replied: 【No.】

Just as he subconsciously went to turn off his phone, Xiang Shan's message came through.

Xiang Shan: 【Sorry, that earring is custom-made and means a great deal to me, so I have to find it. It should have been left behind at the clothing store. If you could help me find it, I'd be endlessly grateful.】

Seeing Xiang Shan's urgent tone, Jiang Muye's brows furrowed slightly.

It seemed the earring really was important. Otherwise she wouldn't be this anxious.

But Jiang Muye genuinely hadn't seen any earring, so he just replied 【Mm.】 to brush her off.

At that moment, the hair dryer was whirring in the bathroom.

Leng Ruoli, being very virtuous, was helping tidy up the clothes Jiang Muye had casually left on the bed.

When she picked up one of Jiang Muye's jackets, clank—there was a sound.

Very crisp. Her ears caught it.

Leng Ruoli looked down and saw an earring had fallen right out of Jiang Muye's jacket pocket.

Her brows knitted tightly.

"An earring?" Leng Ruoli was a bit confused.

This was definitely not her earring.

So where did it come from?

Could it be…

Jiang Muye had already finished drying his hair and came out, ready to scoop Leng Ruoli up and go to sleep, when he saw that she was holding an earring in her hand.

Jiang Muye froze.

Wasn't that earring Xiang Shan's?

"Muye, this earring doesn't seem to be mine." Leng Ruoli had already picked up the earring.

Jiang Muye was instantly extremely awkward.

Did girls always overthink at times like this? Especially since Leng Ruoli was a little jealous-pot.

He had another girl's earring on him—she was definitely going to be angry.

"Actually, this is how it is. It's a long story, I…" Just as Jiang Muye was trying to figure out how to phrase things so Leng Ruoli would believe him and not get angry, Leng Ruoli's next move shocked him.

Jiang Muye watched as Leng Ruoli directly put the earring on, smiling radiantly. "Hey, it looks great. Your taste is really good, I love it. You wanted to give me a surprise, right? That's why you kept quiet about it and were planning to find a chance to give it to me."

She looked a little puzzled again. "It's just, why is there only one earring? Where's the other one?"
