Chapter 441: I'm Just Jealous

Leng Ruoli then began rummaging through Jiang Muye's other jacket pocket.

It was completely empty, which left Leng Ruoli utterly confused. She had no way of knowing what was going on.

Jiang Muye instinctively gave Leng Ruoli a dry laugh. "Uh, that—this earring isn't for you. You've got it wrong…"

The smile plastered on Leng Ruoli's face froze. "Huh? It's not for me?"

She instantly understood. "Did you buy it for Auntie?"

"No." Jiang Muye shook his head.

"Then is it for my mom? My mom really does like this kind of thing. I never imagined you'd take the time to ask around about her tastes," Leng Ruoli said with a smile.

Jiang Muye shook his head. "I only just learned about your mom's tastes from your own mouth. But I didn't buy it for your mom either."

The moment the words left his mouth, Leng Ruoli glared at Jiang Muye. She pouted her crimson lips and said huffily, "It's not for my mom, then who's it for? You'd better come clean—what's going on here!"

She even yanked the earring off.

As a result, Jiang Muye took it back like it was a precious treasure.

Leng Ruoli got even angrier. She flopped straight down onto the bed, turning her back to Jiang Muye.

Looking at her lovely body with her back to him, Jiang Muye knew how serious this was. Instinctively, he lay down too, wrapped his arms around Leng Ruoli, and said softly, "Look, you've misunderstood. I'm not too sure how this ended up in my pocket either. Do you remember me mentioning that woman who bought me milk tea today?"

"Yeah, I remember. Could it have been hers?" Leng Ruoli nodded.

Jiang Muye nodded. "Right."

"Then you two have quite a lot of contact. You even know what her earrings look like. Seems like you've never looked at my earrings this carefully," Leng Ruoli grumbled.

Jiang Muye pressed his cheek against Leng Ruoli's pretty face, soothing her mood. "I don't have much contact with her, and we're not close. What do you mean I haven't looked at your earrings carefully? Yesterday you were wearing those wine-red heart-shaped earrings."

Jiang Muye paused. "Besides, she just contacted me on WeChat asking whether I'd seen her earring. There's absolutely nothing going on between us. And anyway, I have no interest in older women."

Hearing this, Leng Ruoli was secretly delighted, but on the surface she deliberately took a jab at Jiang Muye. "Oh, so as long as they're younger than you, you're interested?"

Jiang Muye's survival instincts kicked in immediately, and he shook his head at Leng Ruoli. "How could that possibly be? Whether she's a few years older or a few years younger, I'm not interested. Me? I'm more interested in the person right in front of me."

Jiang Muye very proactively took Leng Ruoli's little hand and kissed her earlobe.

Leng Ruoli felt incredibly thrilled. She snickered, then Jiang Muye pulled her around to face him.

"Still jealous?" Jiang Muye looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"Just a touch, so you'd better make it up to me properly." The corner of Leng Ruoli's mouth quirked up.

"I get jealous over you plenty too, you know!" Jiang Muye harrumphed. "And I don't see you making it up to me."

Leng Ruoli swiftly pecked Jiang Muye on the lips. "Heh, then I'll make it up to you double from now on."

"Next time for sure—how about right now instead…" Jiang Muye wanted to make a cheeky grab, but Leng Ruoli laughingly caught his hand. "Please, spare me~ I'm seriously exhausted."

"Alright, I'll spare you." Jiang Muye still happily squeezed in next to Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli took the earring off her ear and placed it in Jiang Muye's palm. "Here, go give it back to her."

"You're that at ease letting me go see her? Not afraid you'll get jealous again?" Jiang Muye teased with a laugh.

"Pfft, if you asked me to go return it to her, that'd be the real red flag." Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly. "The attitude you're showing right now is enough for me to believe there's nothing fishy between you two. Besides, I can't possibly restrict your circle of friends and forbid you from interacting with any woman at all. That'd be going too far."

Leng Ruoli knew that if she controlled Jiang Muye too much, she'd make him feel suffocated.

Even though Jiang Muye was hers, she couldn't completely monopolize him. On the premise that he was her boyfriend, he had to be a free individual—first himself, then the person she loved.

After hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Jiang Muye felt great.

He just loved how sensible and understanding Leng Ruoli was.

So Jiang Muye instinctively sent Xiang Shan a WeChat message: 【Miss Xiang, your earring is with me. Found it. How should I get it to you?】

Xiang Shan replied instantly: 【Are you free tomorrow?】

Jiang Muye glanced at Leng Ruoli, who was watching TV beside him, and instinctively told Xiang Shan: 【No, I've got something tomorrow. It might have to be the day after.】

Jiang Muye hadn't forgotten that he was supposed to spend time with his girlfriend.

Xiang Shan simply agreed: 【Alright, then let's meet at the café at one in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. I'll send you the location then.】

Jiang Muye replied: 【Sure.】

After finishing his chat with Xiang Shan, Jiang Muye cuddled Leng Ruoli and they watched TV together in perfect harmony.

He actually had no interest in these Korean dramas, but his girlfriend liked watching them, so Jiang Muye watched along with her.

A while in, Jiang Muye offered his assessment: "I don't think it's as sweet as the two of us. They might as well just film our story."

When Leng Ruoli heard Jiang Muye's words, her eyes sparkled.

Seeing her little expression, Jiang Muye seemed to understand something. He asked hesitantly, "You're probably not thinking about investing in filming our story, are you?"

"Heh heh, can I?" Leng Ruoli hugged Jiang Muye, smiling sweetly.

Jiang Muye pinched Leng Ruoli's chin and gave her a fierce kiss. "No."

"Why not?" Leng Ruoli looked utterly disappointed.

"That kind of thing easily stirs up gossip. As the originals, we'd easily have our lives disturbed. Besides, there'd be all these CP fans imagining too much, not to mention that there's no lead actor as handsome as me, or as pretty as my wife." Jiang Muye said carelessly.

Hearing this, Leng Ruoli giggled. "You're so vain! Who says so? The entertainment industry is full of handsome men and beautiful women."

"I say so. I don't think those people can compare to us at all—they're far off." Jiang Muye waved his hand.

He wasn't boasting at all—he genuinely felt that way.

Who could be more handsome than him? They'd have to find some young fresh face, but fresh faces couldn't act well, and playing him would just look affected and fake.

Not to mention the actress who'd play his wife—who could portray Leng Ruoli's beauty and intellect? Heh heh, no matter how you looked at it, his wife was still the cutest.

"Then let's just go film a TV drama ourselves—chasing dreams in the entertainment circle." Leng Ruoli suggested with a smile.

Jiang Muye put his hand on Leng Ruoli's shoulder. "In that case, it'd really be a disaster."

"What do you mean?"
