Chapter 657: The Purpose Behind Ye Shuhua's Approach

The Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

But when he looked outside, he saw that it was pouring rain.

"Why would it suddenly start raining?" Jiang Muye muttered.

His secretary sighed as well. "The weather's been strange lately. It was bright and sunny just a moment ago, and now it's raining. Still, it's normal enough—it's spring, after all, so the rainy season's almost here."

Jiang Muye glanced at Leng Ruoli's class schedule.

He noticed that at this point in time, Leng Ruoli's classes had just ended.

And now such heavy rain had started.

Jiang Muye thought about manipulating the weather to turn the rain back into sunshine.

However, the latitudes were different—his company was quite far from Leng Ruoli's school.

The most he could control was the weather in the same area. Leng Ruoli's location was beyond his range, so it probably wouldn't work.

Jiang Muye was very worried about Leng Ruoli, with no way of knowing what her situation was right now.

What if she hadn't brought an umbrella?

In an instant, Jiang Muye's mind was no longer on work.

He immediately called Leng Ruoli.

"Hey, Darling, did you bring an umbrella? If you didn't, I'll have Old He and the others bring one over to you. You're pregnant now, so whatever you do, don't go running around."

Jiang Muye anxiously fussed over her.

Leng Ruoli's familiar voice immediately sounded out. "Don't worry about me, I'm already in the car."

"That's right, I'll take good care of her. I'm taking her home now," another voice chimed in.

Jiang Muye trembled.

His brows knitted tightly together—wasn't that Ye Shuhua's voice?!

Why had Ye Shuhua suddenly come to pick up his wife?

Weren't they supposed to avoid each other?

"Yeah, we're on the way back right now. Hubby, how's work on your end? Are you feeling a bit better?" Leng Ruoli asked with concern.

Naturally, Jiang Muye steadied Leng Ruoli's emotions, saying to her, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I can handle everything right now."

But after hanging up, Jiang Muye still felt a bit uneasy.

Especially with Ye Shuhua and Leng Ruoli in the same house.

Ye Shuhua was strange—she had suddenly come into contact with Leng Ruoli.

Especially considering Xiang Shan's last poisoning incident—if Ye Shuhua really was involved, then it was terrifying.

After thinking it over again and again, Jiang Muye said to his secretary, "Help me organize the documents. Send me the detailed materials by email afterward. I need to go back."

The secretary was dumbfounded.

After all, this was an incredibly important moment, with so much work to busy himself with. It was hard to handle—he didn't have enough hands as it was, let alone with Jiang Muye about to leave.

But Jiang Muye was his direct superior, after all.

It was impossible for the secretary to openly defy Jiang Muye.

Since Jiang Muye had said as much, the secretary naturally complied with his wishes.

After helping Jiang Muye organize his things, Jiang Muye set off for home without a moment's delay.

It was raining, and it was rush hour, so traffic jams were easy to come by.

Jiang Muye had a bad premonition the entire time.

The feeling was very strong.

He was truly afraid that something might happen.

Especially since Leng Ruoli was pregnant—if something really did happen, it would be one pregnancy, three lives.

Jiang Muye immediately asked the System, "Is there anything that can make me instantly appear in a certain place?"

The System: 【Yes, and that is Location Shuttle. You open a door, and you can appear wherever you wish to appear.】

Jiang Muye nodded. This was the skill he most wanted to use.

He immediately followed the System's words and exchanged for the skill.

This skill required 800 Grit Points—not cheap.

But Jiang Muye truly didn't want anything to go wrong. These Grit Points could be earned back, and the most important thing was to hurry back now.

Jiang Muye immediately grabbed the Pork Floss Cakes he'd bought, then used the skill. After silently reciting the location in his mind, the door that had originally been in his office, once Jiang Muye opened it, became a door inside his home.

Jiang Muye opened it and walked out, only to come face to face with the butler.

When the butler saw him, he couldn't believe it. "You… when did you get back, sir? How come I didn't see you?"

Jiang Muye was rather surprised too.

He had never imagined there would be someone outside the door.

But Jiang Muye was a skilled actor, after all—he couldn't afford to give himself away.

So Jiang Muye pretended to be very calm and said to the butler, "I got back not long ago. I came in through the back door, so it's normal that you didn't see me."

The butler didn't think much of it.

After all, how could there be so many bizarre supernatural events in the world? It was impossible for the other party to have appeared out of thin air—that wasn't very likely either.

The butler nodded and smiled at Jiang Muye. "Alright, sir. Are you hungry? I'll have the kitchen make something to eat."

Jiang Muye shook his head. "No need. Where's the Madam?"

The butler replied with a smile, "She's just downstairs. Her auntie happened to come over too, and they're chatting downstairs right now."

"Alright." Jiang Muye immediately headed downstairs.

He was afraid something might happen.

After Jiang Muye went downstairs, however, he didn't see Leng Ruoli anywhere.

Nor did he see Ye Shuhua.

A feeling of unease spread through his heart even more strongly.

"Where is everyone?" Jiang Muye asked a maid who had just walked in.

The maid was momentarily bewildered too. "They were just here a moment ago, Young Master. Now I've found that they're gone."

Jiang Muye's brows knitted tightly together.

It was impossible for them to have vanished into thin air inside the house.

It was pouring rain outside—they couldn't have gone out, could they?

Jiang Muye immediately searched the house. Eventually, he heard noises coming from the kitchen.

"This soup is very nourishing. You'll definitely be fine after eating it. This is a tonic I specially had someone make."

That voice was obviously Ye Shuhua's!

Jiang Muye immediately ran over.

He saw that inside the kitchen, Leng Ruoli was standing nearby watching, while Ye Shuhua, wearing an apron, was simmering something in a pot.

A rather strong medicinal smell wafted out, making Jiang Muye find it very unpleasant.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Muye said in a low voice.

Leng Ruoli, who had been watching Ye Shuhua simmer the concoction with rapt attention, immediately turned around excitedly when she heard the voice.

When she saw Jiang Muye, her eyes seemed to light up, dazzling and radiant.

"Hubby!" Leng Ruoli happily walked forward and hugged Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye tenderly rubbed her hair.

"Why did you suddenly come back? Isn't work very busy?" Leng Ruoli asked curiously while clinging to Jiang Muye.

"It is busy, but I think it's better to come back and work while keeping you company." In truth, the main reason was that Jiang Muye couldn't feel at ease about Ye Shuhua.

Ye Shuhua was a ticking time bomb, extremely dangerous—there was no way of knowing when she might explode.

No matter what Ye Shuhua's goal was, he couldn't feel at ease with her getting close to Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli said comfortably, "Alright, then go to the study and work properly. I won't let anyone disturb you."

Jiang Muye let out a soft "Mm," then his gaze began to sweep over Ye Shuhua. "Auntie Ye, you're here. Is there something the matter?"
