Chapter 708 Chapter 709: President Jiang, Someone’s Looking for You

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

Boss Cutie

In psychology, this represented emotional distance from her.

It wasn't like before, when the two of them had slept face to face.

There was a hint of disappointment in the depths of Leng Ruoli's eyes.

She also noticed that Jiang Muye had turned his back to her again, fiddling with his phone for a while before he finally stopped touching it and went to sleep.

And so Leng Ruoli suffered from insomnia.

But she kept pretending to be asleep, afraid of disturbing Jiang Muye, who was sleeping.

By the next day, Jiang Muye had a meeting early and left first.

When Leng Ruoli woke up, she saw that Jiang Muye wasn't beside her, and she felt somewhat let down.

Not to mention that she had scrolled past a post where someone complained that her husband played on his phone and cheated on her with another woman, which made Leng Ruoli feel very anxious.

Originally, Leng Ruoli had been perfectly fine, but now all sorts of strange thoughts came running out.

Not to mention that there were quite a few replies below the post, all saying that their own husbands were in similar situations, and they had even reached a consensus.

If a man plays on his phone in the middle of the night, most likely he's cheating—either emotionally or physically.

Cheating?

Impossible. Their relationship was still so good right now.

Jiang Muye was so reliable; he wouldn't do something to wrong her.

Leng Ruoli tried hard to suppress her uneasy emotions and inexplicable thoughts.

But because she hadn't slept well the night before, her state today was off. When she met with Mi Lu, she kept yawning.

"What's wrong, you didn't sleep well last night?" Mi Lu asked curiously.

"A little." Leng Ruoli admitted.

She propped her hand on her chin, somewhat listless.

"Are you in a bad mood? Did you have a fight with Jiang Muye?" Mi Lu was very concerned.

"No…" Leng Ruoli suddenly remembered something and asked, "If a guy ignores his darling and often plays on his phone in the middle of the night, not letting his darling see the phone, what are the likely reasons?"

If Jiang Muye wasn't cheating, could there be other reasons?

Leng Ruoli wanted to find the reason so it would be easier to solve.

"He's tired of you, he's cheating, there's a mistress…" Mi Lu scrolled through her phone, ticking them off one by one.

"Isn't there any other reason?" Leng Ruoli bit her lower lip.

"Most likely not. Otherwise, why would he sneak around playing on his phone in the middle of the night? Isn't it because he has a guilty conscience!" Mi Lu said directly. "What's wrong?"

"Impossible." Leng Ruoli denied it directly without even thinking.

She didn't believe Jiang Muye would betray her or have an affair.

"What on earth is wrong with you?" Mi Lu noticed that Leng Ruoli's state wasn't quite right and anxiously grabbed Leng Ruoli's hand.

"I… seem to have a bit of prenatal depression." Leng Ruoli raised her eyes and looked at Mi Lu.

"How can that be? Does Jiang Muye not know!" Mi Lu became agitated.

She didn't want to see her best friend actually suffer from depression. If she were to do something drastic, that would be very serious.

"It's probably my own estrogen issue. It's not severe enough to be depression, it's just that I easily associate things with myself when I see certain posts." Leng Ruoli bit her lower lip.

She looked at Mi Lu. "I saw a post where someone complained that her husband secretly scrolled through his phone every day and then had an affair."

Mi Lu was dismissive after hearing this. "There are plenty of situations like that now. Affairs? It doesn't discriminate between men and women. There are quite a few women who cheat and cuckold their husbands too. But why are you associating it with yourself? It has absolutely nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me, it's just that I'm a bit scared," Leng Ruoli said somewhat sentimentally. "I noticed he also secretly plays on his phone at night. I'm just afraid that one day he'll get tired of me, that the things he talks to me about are getting fewer and fewer. Is it that I'm putting too much pressure on him? Is he panicking about becoming a new dad?"

"Impossible! Why would he secretly play on his phone at night? That's not normal. Has he had a change of heart?" Mi Lu asked in surprise.

"No, he wouldn't have a change of heart!" Leng Ruoli still had a lot of confidence in Jiang Muye.

"Feelings change easily. Many men stop cherishing their wives after marriage. He can scroll through his phone—who knows if he really has new contacts." Mi Lu said to Leng Ruoli.

Without another word, Leng Ruoli retorted, "Impossible! He's not that kind of person. I believe he's absolutely loyal to me. He couldn't possibly do such a thing. I have confidence in him!"

Seeing Leng Ruoli's bright eyes and the way she spoke with such certainty, Mi Lu sighed at how Leng Ruoli truly trusted Jiang Muye one hundred percent.

Compared to that, she felt somewhat ashamed. She had started to doubt Jiang Muye.

If she could have been a bit more resolute and had some trust in Jiang Muye, would the outcome with Jiang Muye have been different back then?

"Isn't that enough? What do you have to worry about? He definitely won't wrong you."

Mi Lu reached out and pinched Leng Ruoli's cheek, comforting her. "Don't be so sentimental. Live your life well and stop overthinking things."

Leng Ruoli sighed. "So it's my own problem. When you're pregnant, your endocrine system gets out of whack, and my brain just keeps turning involuntarily. I always have strange thoughts, and I've even started doubting myself, feeling insecure. I'm also afraid my figure will go, and whether I'm too boring…"

"You're so charming. Your personality and looks are both great. You, boring? Since Jiang Muye could choose you among so many girls, you're the cream of the crop, the most outstanding. Why are you doubting yourself!" Mi Lu cheered Leng Ruoli on.

Leng Ruoli, who had originally been a bit down, immediately recovered her energy.

She gave Mi Lu a faint smile. "Sister Mi Lu, I feel like when you're by my side, it's as if I've regained my motivation. Before, I felt I was very insignificant, but ever since I met you and my husband, everything seems to have changed."

Mi Lu reached out and stroked Leng Ruoli's blonde hair. "You have to affirm yourself. You weren't like this before—you were very confident. You absolutely mustn't let these pregnancy hormones interfere with you!"

Mi Lu could understand Leng Ruoli.

After all, during pregnancy, there were plenty of pregnant women whose emotions were unstable, even explosive, and who slid into depression.

Pregnant women needed plenty of care during pregnancy to avoid unhealthy emotions, and many pregnant women inevitably suffered from postpartum depression.

After a few words from Mi Lu, Leng Ruoli's mood brightened, and she felt like she had released a lot of tension.

However, after Mi Lu sent Leng Ruoli home, she still couldn't feel at ease about Leng Ruoli.

After all, Leng Ruoli was now a pregnant woman. When negative emotions appeared, they needed to be properly guided.

…

Chen Group.

Jiang Muye had just finished a meeting.

He had used the System to exchange for Business Plan Secrets, surveyed the latest money-making scheme plan, and arranged for people to plan and implement it.

After the meeting ended, more than forty employees watched Jiang Muye leave.

When Jiang Muye and his secretary entered the elevator, he asked the secretary, "Report my afternoon schedule."

The secretary nodded and replied with a smile, "At one-thirty in the afternoon, you're meeting with President Xu of Steel Group. At four, there's a temporary meeting to convene. At five, you need to sign documents to approve the funding investment in West City stocks."

Jiang Muye nodded. His extraordinary memory was fully capable of keeping his brain running normally without missing anything.

When Jiang Muye and the secretary entered the office, the second secretary told Jiang Muye, "President, someone is inside waiting for you."
