Chapter 659: So This Was Her Purpose

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

"Delicious," Jiang Muye declared.

Leng Ruoli smiled like an obedient little kitten, giggling happily.

She continued eating the Pork Floss Cakes.

Her hands got dirty with pork floss and seaweed, so Jiang Muye took a wet wipe and gently cleaned the mess from her palms.

As a result, Jiang Muye's cheek suddenly grew warm.

He noticed that Leng Ruoli was smiling sweetly.

Just like a flower, delicate and charming.

"Thank you, Darling."

"Mm," Jiang Muye responded.

His heart was full of happiness.

He immediately felt that life was peaceful and wonderful.

So what if work was busy? Coming home to a beautiful wife like this.

All his worries melted away.

After spending a tender moment with Leng Ruoli, Jiang Muye told her to go upstairs and rest for a while.

He'd call her when dinner was almost ready.

"Okay! Then don't work too hard, Darling. Make sure to balance work and rest." Leng Ruoli was indeed a bit sleepy.

After all, during pregnancy, it was easy to get exhausted.

Jiang Muye smiled. "Alright, I'll listen to Darling."

He watched Leng Ruoli go upstairs.

Just as Jiang Muye was heading to the study, he heard a creak and a thud.

"Ah." Leng Ruoli gasped.

Hearing that faint cry of pain, Jiang Muye panicked.

He immediately looked in Leng Ruoli's direction.

He saw her kneeling on the staircase steps, clutching her belly.

Even though her back was to him, Jiang Muye could sense her body trembling.

Jiang Muye instantly realized how serious this was and flew over. "Darling!"

He rushed up and immediately helped her to her feet.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down Leng Ruoli's little face. "It hurts… I… I think I stepped on something."

Her lips were quivering.

Jiang Muye's expression turned extremely grim.

He immediately scanned the surroundings.

He found a tiny marble on the stairs.

To anyone else, it might not seem like much, but for a pregnant woman to step on a marble—that was very serious.

"Hah…" Hearing Leng Ruoli still in pain, Jiang Muye didn't care about anything else.

He was about to go mad. "Hold on!"

He couldn't just watch his wife be in danger.

Without a second thought, he scooped Leng Ruoli into his arms.

He carried her and ran frantically.

Then he quickly placed Leng Ruoli in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt. "Darling, don't be scared. I'm taking you to the hospital right now!"

Jiang Muye's mind was completely blank.

Even if he could traverse space, at most he could only take himself.

He couldn't take his wife.

The hospital was close by, but he was afraid something might happen to her.

In his panic, he suddenly remembered he still had the System.

Jiang Muye immediately asked the System for help. "System, what do I do in this situation? My wife's belly hurts so much! She just fell on the stairs!"

The System replied: 【Exchange the "Restore to Original" potion immediately. It can eliminate the effects and restore her to her condition before the injury.】

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muye immediately exchanged for the potion, spending 500 Grit Points.

Then he instantly used the potion on Leng Ruoli. Her complexion, which had been weak just moments ago, now improved considerably, and the pain gradually faded.

Her expression was no longer so strained, and her breathing calmed.

It seemed she was much better.

The potion had indeed worked.

"Feeling a bit better?" Jiang Muye asked nervously, holding Leng Ruoli's hand.

Leng Ruoli looked at Jiang Muye with eyes full of tears. "My belly hurt so much just now, but it's fine now."

"We'll be at the hospital soon. Don't be scared." Jiang Muye soothed Leng Ruoli's emotions.

Even though the potion had treated her, Jiang Muye was still worried something might be wrong, so it was better to get a checkup at the hospital.

Jiang Muye immediately drove to the nearby hospital.

After bringing Leng Ruoli to the hospital, the doctor examined her and found nothing serious.

Leng Ruoli's knee was a bit swollen, but not badly—just applying some medicine would do.

Jiang Muye repeatedly read over the examination report, afraid there might be the slightest problem.

It was Leng Ruoli who pretended to be relaxed and pulled the report away, smiling at Jiang Muye. "Alright, don't worry, I'm fine. Even the doctor said I'm perfectly fine."

To cheer Jiang Muye up, she reached out and poked his cheek.

Seeing Leng Ruoli's reaction, Jiang Muye's eyes grew warm, and he immediately hugged her.

She was more important to him than he had imagined. He would rather be injured himself than have anything happen to her.

"You scared me," Jiang Muye said to Leng Ruoli, holding back his tears.

Leng Ruoli said apologetically, "I never imagined I'd step on something and fall on the stairs."

She had instinctively fallen backward, and in trying to steady herself, her knee had hit the step, and then her belly started hurting.

The fright and discomfort she had just experienced were still vivid in her mind.

Jiang Muye's eyes turned deep.

He knew very well that what Leng Ruoli had stepped on was a marble.

How could it be such a coincidence? Ye Shuhua had just come by.

And then Leng Ruoli stepped on it?

Jiang Muye was extremely displeased.

If Ye Shuhua was playing some trick, he would absolutely not let her off easily.

After Jiang Muye brought Leng Ruoli back, he had her take the elevator upstairs.

He returned to the stairs.

Apart from the steel ball he had seen, there weren't any other steel balls.

If you didn't look carefully, you really wouldn't notice it.

But Jiang Muye had sharp eyes, and he picked up that steel ball and put it in a plastic bag.

Jiang Muye immediately had someone search the surveillance footage.

As a result, the surveillance was destroyed.

Obviously, how could there be such an unfortunate coincidence as the surveillance breaking down?

All the clues were laid out before him.

There was only one truth.

Jiang Muye clenched his fists.

Whoever messed with his wife and child, he would absolutely not let them off.

Jiang Muye said to the System, "Repair the surveillance."

The System said: 【Alright, repairing the surveillance requires 500 Grit Points.】

Jiang Muye: "Exchange."

The System: 【Alright, exchange successful. You may now use it.】

Jiang Muye immediately used the skill.

Soon, the surveillance was successfully repaired.

After seeing the video, Jiang Muye was furious.

Someone had actually dared to pull tricks right under his nose.

At that moment, Jiang Muye's subordinate called. "CEO, the matter you instructed me to look into has been investigated."

After seeing all the documents, Jiang Muye coldly dialed Ye Shuhua's number. "Ye Shuhua, let's meet."

…

Nine o'clock in the evening.

After coaxing Leng Ruoli to sleep, Jiang Muye left the house.

Jiang Muye set out for Leng Qihua's home.

Father-in-Law wasn't home. Only Ye Shuhua was there.

After Jiang Muye went upstairs to the living room, he saw Ye Shuhua painting.

She was wearing a qipao, and in the dim light, she looked rather eerie.

Especially since she was heavily made up. Compared to her previous light makeup, she now had a blood-red mouth, making her look extremely shrewd.

Jiang Muye had not a trace of good will toward her and looked at her coldly. "Ye Shuhua, you made a move on Xiang Shan, and then you made a move on my wife. What is your goal?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Her brush paused.
