Chapter 564: What to Do When Alone in an Empty Bed

# Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

**Boss Cutie**

After a war of words, Leng Ruoli burst out laughing. "If we keep this up, we'll be just like kindergarten kids—there's no way we'll ever settle who wins."

"You're right. How about we don't hang up, then." A smirk tugged at the corner of Jiang Muye's mouth.

"Don't hang up? You mean stay connected the whole time?"

"Yeah, you're so smart, babe. I just want to hear my baby sleeping. That way I can feel like you're still right here beside me." Jiang Muye made his request.

Leng Ruoli thought it over and agreed.

She had long since grown used to Jiang Muye's presence.

If Jiang Muye could be by her side—so what if there was a screen between them?

As long as she could see him, that was enough.

It was better than lying alone in an empty bed.

"Alright, then it's settled." A rich smile rippled in Leng Ruoli's eyes.

She waved at Jiang Muye. "Then I'm going to sleep first."

"Okay." Jiang Muye watched contentedly as Leng Ruoli closed her eyes.

He turned on a small night light and began reading through some documents.

Her even breathing drifted over from the other side. Her sleeping face was utterly serene, giving off a gentle, comfortable feeling.

One glance at her and his mood improved.

Even if she wasn't lying right there beside him, Jiang Muye felt she was very close.

Jiang Muye found that those burdensome documents didn't seem so tiring after all. Full of energy, he kept working away.

When he grew tired later and looked up again.

She was clearly fast asleep, cute and silly, her long lashes fluttering.

She looked sweet and lovely.

Silly baby.

After feasting his eyes for a while, Jiang Muye packed up his things and lay down too.

Once the lights were out and he closed his eyes, he really did feel it—not the coldness of a machine, but her, right there beside him.

And just like that, he slept all the way until dawn.

Jiang Muye was still dreaming when he heard some soft sounds.

"Hm?" He opened his bleary eyes and saw Leng Ruoli quietly getting out of bed.

When she saw Jiang Muye awake, she panicked a little, then immediately began apologizing. "Sorry! I woke you up!"

Seeing Leng Ruoli's guilty look, Jiang Muye shook his head. "It's fine, I wasn't sleeping deeply anyway."

"Go back to sleep now, it's still early. It's just that it's already morning over here, sorry about that." Leng Ruoli reached out and, through the phone screen, rubbed the area around Jiang Muye's head.

Jiang Muye was utterly delighted.

It was as if she had really touched him.

Incredibly comfortable.

The corners of Jiang Muye's mouth curved. "It's okay. Just being able to see you the moment I open my eyes is enough for me."

He wasn't making that up.

He really was satisfied, really was happy.

Especially now that they were apart—even through video, seeing each other gave Jiang Muye a weighty kind of happiness.

"Alright, we'll see each other in a couple of days. Sleep a bit more, I'm going to hang up now~" Leng Ruoli's voice was soft and smooth.

Jiang Muye nodded, savoring it. "Mwah, bye-bye."

"Bloop." Leng Ruoli blew him a kiss, winked at the camera, and hung up.

Jiang Muye couldn't help but let out a low laugh. Hugging his pillow, he rolled around on the bed.

After sleeping a while longer, Jiang Muye got up.

He needed to head to the company headquarters—a mountain of things was waiting for him.

But Jiang Muye felt no pressure at all. He was looking down on the world now, more motivated than ever.

Stealing a moment from his busy schedule, Jiang Muye said to his secretary, "Isn't there an auction house around here?"

"Yes." The secretary nodded.

"Then I just happen to want to buy a little gift for my girlfriend."

Jiang Muye's eyes were filled with tenderness. At the thought of Leng Ruoli's happy face when she received the gift, his heart warmed and filled with anticipation.

Whenever he came to a city, he especially wanted to give her the best that city had to offer.

Hearing Jiang Muye's words, the secretary was filled with envy.

She had been at the CEO's side for a while now, and she had witnessed the interactions between the CEO and Miss Leng.

The CEO truly doted on Miss Leng. The two were a perfect match, equals in every way.

Most importantly, their feelings were incredibly sincere—it was simply a beautiful tale.

The secretary had a boyfriend too, but compared to the CEO, her boyfriend was utterly insignificant.

In a situation like this, she still had to buy gifts to bring back to her boyfriend, and he hadn't even called her once.

Meanwhile, the CEO, busy as he was, still had Miss Leng on his mind.

Sure enough, handsome men were the most devoted.

She had heard the CEO used to always enjoy following web novels. Were all the readers on Tomato this handsome and deeply affectionate?

This made the secretary a little restless.

After confirming that the auction house had an auction event today, Jiang Muye headed over with his secretary.

【Congratulations, Host, for checking in at the auction house. You have received 300 Grit Points.】

The System, which rarely showed itself, finally came online.

After Jiang Muye looked over some auction items, the System reminded him, 【Today the Lucky Draw Shop has opened a One-Yuan Purchase event. As long as you draw this item, you can buy an auction item for one yuan. Very cost-effective—it only requires 500 points per draw.】

Jiang Muye replied, "System, do you think I'm short on money?"

The System: "…"

Just look at Jiang Muye—he was dressed head to toe in haute couture.

And he was the CEO of Chen Group.

It gave him too much! Could it take it back?!

【Host, you've been too satisfied lately. You don't even know how to favor the System anymore. Boost my performance a little, would you, so I don't lose face in front of the Sovereign!】

Jiang Muye agreed.

It wasn't because he was short on money—it was just that the System was too pitiful.

He pitied the System, that's all.

"Fine, I'll participate a bit." Anyway, Jiang Muye still had over ten thousand Grit Points, so he could burn them however he liked.

First, Jiang Muye went to the System Shop and exchanged for a【Lucky Streak All Day Card】, spending 300 Grit Points.

Then Jiang Muye clicked into the Lucky Draw page.

"Now I'm going to do the Lucky Draw."

The System: 【…Host, you thieving villain, you rogue, you're truly treacherous!】

Jiang Muye shrugged. "You never said I couldn't do it this way. It's your fault for not patching this loophole. I say you just can't handle losing!"

After being despised by Jiang Muye, the System was on the verge of tears.

It was obviously because Jiang Muye was too crafty—what could it do?

But things had come to this point, and if it didn't comply, then it really couldn't handle losing.

【Fine, just draw.】

Jiang Muye immediately clicked to draw once.

He'd figured he might need three draws to win it.

Who would have thought he'd pull the【One-Yuan Purchase】on the very first try.

"I never imagined the Lucky Streak Card would be this useful."

Even though the System was virtual, Jiang Muye could feel it on the verge of collapse.

The System wanted to cry but had no tears. 【Fine. Call it a loss-making deal on my part.】

Jiang Muye was utterly smug. It was clearly all thanks to his own real skill.

After obtaining the One-Yuan Purchase skill, Jiang Muye went in completely blind.

The items were as follows: there were…
