Chapter 608: The Storm on the Eve of the Engagement

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

Boss Cutie

Leng Ruoli's little face was slightly red as she immediately pounced onto the bed.

But she startled Jiang Muye, who reached forward and pulled her into his arms. "My darling, you're moving around too much. Be careful of the baby in your belly."

Jiang Muye was still very nervous. After all, Leng Ruoli was now a pregnant woman.

Pregnant women were very sensitive these days. Even a little roughhousing could easily cause a miscarriage.

"Okay, I'll be careful, I'll change. There's nothing wrong with me now~" Leng Ruoli drooped her little head.

Seeing that her apology was very sincere.

Jiang Muye wrapped his arm around her shoulder and let her lean against his chest. "Good, that's more like it. Now I'll start telling you a story."

"Okay, can today's story not be some Grimm's Fairy Tale?"

"Then Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales?"

"I want to hear one I haven't heard before."

"Alright, then let me go see if Boss Cutie's novel has any steamy chapters. I'll read them to you." Jiang Muye nodded and picked up his phone.

Leng Ruoli suddenly grabbed Jiang Muye's hand. "What, you're actually going to read hers? Don't you know all she writes are embarrassing things? What if she starts Driving Service!"

"Hahaha, look at you. I just want to read her Driving Service chapters. Her Driving Service is pretty good, a boon for the two of us." Jiang Muye began to tease her.

A moment later, Jiang Muye opened Boss Cutie's novel page.

"She's more diligent than the production team's donkey."

"I love her novels the most."

"You can open her collection and you'll find she's written so many works, everything you could want, especially the ones she finished a while back. They're all great."

Jiang Muye began pitching to Leng Ruoli. Leng Ruoli glanced sideways at Jiang Muye's excited expression and said, "She seems to be a girl, you know."

Hearing the sour tone in Leng Ruoli's voice, Jiang Muye flicked her delicate little nose. "Hahaha, are you jealous now?"

"That's not it. You're making me want to write a novel too. That way you'd pay excessive attention to me." Leng Ruoli lay on Jiang Muye's chest and spoke seriously.

Hearing Leng Ruoli's words, Jiang Muye unconsciously stroked her hair. "You already occupy all my affection, and you're still not satisfied? What more do you want?"

He kissed Leng Ruoli's forehead. "So what if she's a woman? Could she be prettier than you, more generous than you, have a better figure than you, be gentler than you?"

Hearing Jiang Muye's words, Leng Ruoli's heart was filled with sweetness.

Every single word Jiang Muye said struck right at her heart.

It also put her in a wonderful mood.

"That's more like it."

Sensing Leng Ruoli's coy, gentle tone, Jiang Muye's heart was full of sweetness. He leaned down and kissed Leng Ruoli's cheek, then spoke to her seriously, "Alright, shall I read to you now?"

"Yes." Leng Ruoli's lips curved upward as she lay against Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye began reading to Leng Ruoli piece by piece.

At first, Leng Ruoli was a bit embarrassed. After all, Boss Cutie's books were all too shameful. Some of the chapters… were very juicy.

Too full of ups and downs, twists and turns.

Leng Ruoli listened with her eyes wide, wide open, utterly engrossed.

"What's wrong? Weren't you supposed to fall asleep while I read you a story? Why aren't you asleep?" Jiang Muye looked at Leng Ruoli in surprise.

Leng Ruoli gave a silly smile. "Suddenly I can't sleep. The story's too interesting~"

"See, you've already hit the 'true fragrance' warning." Jiang Muye laughed heartily.

A smile rippled across Leng Ruoli's face. "What's wrong, aren't you going to keep telling me the story?"

Jiang Muye's voice was rather magnetic. Hearing the novel's plot through his mouth made it especially interesting.

"I want to read you all the way to the ending, but it's still not finished yet. That'll take some time. Besides, it's very late now and you have to go to sleep early." Jiang Muye raised his hand and gently stroked Leng Ruoli's hair. "Be good."

"Okay." Although Leng Ruoli was a little unsatisfied, she still obediently listened.

She pulled the blanket up a bit, then leaned closer toward Jiang Muye. "Goodnight~"

"Alright, goodnight." Jiang Muye snuggled a little closer to Leng Ruoli.

The corners of Leng Ruoli's lips traced a shallow arc as she slowly drifted into sleep.

The night slowly settled in.

Jiang Muye wasn't very sleepy, but he felt very at ease.

The little wife in his arms had already fallen asleep. Her breathing was even, the outline of her profile soft and lovely, especially with her delicate body leaning against Jiang Muye's chest.

It gave Jiang Muye an indescribable warmth and comfort.

Jiang Muye's gaze was very gentle. He leaned down and softly kissed Leng Ruoli's cheek, then contentedly held her as he slept.

…

After all, there were only three days left. The engagement was set for the weekend.

Time was very tight.

Besides having dedicated staff set up the venue and booking the best five-star hotel, both families also had to discuss practical matters like the betrothal gift and the dowry.

Xiang Shan, Father Leng, and Jiang Muye's parents sat down for a detailed talk at the tea house.

Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli were naturally present as well, discussing together.

【Congratulations, Host. Check-in at the tea house successful. Obtained two hundred Grit Points.】the System reminded.

The staff had already brewed tea and set out pastries.

Since Leng Ruoli couldn't drink tea, Jiang Muye joined her in drinking fresh orange juice.

"My husband and I picked out the five golds last night. This is our heartfelt gesture, and our sincerity." Mother Jiang began opening the jewelry box to show everyone.

Xiang Shan wasn't particularly fond of gold jewelry, but that was the domestic tradition. The essentials still couldn't be skimped on.

Now that the Jiang family was taking it seriously, it proved they thought highly of Leng Ruoli.

Xiang Shan was still somewhat satisfied. "It's fine."

She examined the quality. It was quite good, and the price was probably not cheap.

Leng Ruoli, however, was a little overwhelmed. "Dad, Mom, you actually prepared all this in secret. I had no idea."

She'd thought they'd only arranged a trip. Who would've imagined that even while traveling, her parents hadn't forgotten to prepare all this.

"We're about to get engaged. Of course we had to prepare. The five golds can't be skimped on. You're the daughter-in-law we're marrying into our family with honor!" Mother Jiang said with a smile.

Jiang Muye held Leng Ruoli's hand and said, "Right. Whatever others have, you'll have too. We absolutely can't skimp on this."

Leng Ruoli might rarely wear gold jewelry normally, but even if it was just for collection, she had to have it.

"Okay." Leng Ruoli smiled.

She could feel the Jiang family's care for her.

"How much do you want for the betrothal gift?" Father Jiang asked.

Actually, Father Jiang was still very nervous.

After all, for a wealthy family like the Mu family, the betrothal gift wouldn't come cheap.

Especially since Leng Ruoli had been raised in luxury since childhood, and the Mu family parents had excellent family backgrounds.

They absolutely couldn't give too little, but they also couldn't exceed their psychological range.

Father Leng and Xiang Shan looked at each other for a moment, then exchanged a glance.

Xiang Shan said to Father Jiang, "We only have this one daughter, and we value her greatly. She's the apple of our eye."

"Right, of course." Father Jiang nodded. "I just don't have a daughter. If I did, I wouldn't bear to part with her either."

Leng Ruoli was very nervous.

Her mother was a businesswoman after all, and she'd had some objections to Jiang Muye before. What if she made things difficult for the Jiang family and demanded an exorbitant price?
