Chapter 742: Treating With True Feelings

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

Boss Cutie

"You're actually very honest," Leng Ruoli said with a faint smile.

"I have to be honest. I can't take all the credit for myself, right?" Jiang Muye's lips curved up.

Leng Ruoli's little face immediately flushed red. She reached out and buried herself in Jiang Muye's arms, the corners of her lips tracing an arc. She instinctively raised her head. "You really are a treasure boy. Is there anything about you I still don't know?"

"If I gave you surprises anytime and anywhere, I'd be exhausted. I'm no treasure either. You've seen everything there is to see. Anyway, I'm open with you, I just hope you treat me sincerely," Jiang Muye said frankly, speaking his mind.

"Then what about the cosmetics you bought me? I've used them all up. Does that count as treating you sincerely?!" Leng Ruoli asked with a smile.

Jiang Muye dotingly scraped her nose. "Hey, forget it. Using up that much, you must be so tired! Just pace yourself. Some of them you don't even know if they suit your skin, or whether you'll be allergic. If they don't suit you, don't force yourself to use them."

"I'm not a little dummy, I know!" Leng Ruoli gently pinched Jiang Muye's cheek.

Jiang Muye lowered his head and kissed the corner of Leng Ruoli's lips. "Good girl, thank goodness you haven't gotten pregnant to the point of becoming a silly goose. Otherwise the baby's IQ would be affected by you, and that would be terrible."

"Alright, now you're looking down on my IQ? My IQ is 120~! High!" Leng Ruoli raised her little hand and playfully pounded Jiang Muye's chest.

Jiang Muye immediately caught Leng Ruoli's wrist. "So pitiful. I'm a wounded man right now, and I still have to suffer your domestic abuse, and in front of Dad no less. So cruel, so violent!"

Leng Ruoli's face went completely red. "Cut it out, how is this domestic abuse!"

"Mmm… how isn't it?" Jiang Muye replied with a smile.

She said in exasperation, "I can't win against you. I'm going to go try the cosmetics."

Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Muye immediately wrapped his arm around her little waist. "Won't you keep me company? I'm so pitiful. After being beaten by you, I still have to cook here."

"Don't cook. I'll have the chef do it," Leng Ruoli said.

Jiang Muye shook his head. "No. I've already chopped and prepped everything. How can I not cook? Since I've started, I have to finish."

After hearing Jiang Muye's words, Leng Ruoli smiled. "Fine, you do have a point. Then I'll go along with you."

Jiang Muye said, "Then I'm even more pitiful. My finger's injured, and I still have to cook."

"Ugh, what exactly do you want!" Leng Ruoli laughed out loud. "Either way, whether you cook or not, it's bad for you."

Jiang Muye smiled ambiguously. "Give me a love reward before you go."

"For example?"

"A kiss, a hug, and lift me high. Without that, I have no motivation to cook."

Jiang Muye spread his arms.

Leng Ruoli's little face immediately flushed to the extreme.

But she still spread her arms and hugged Jiang Muye. "Darling, thanks for your hard work."

Jiang Muye instantly felt satisfied and stroked Leng Ruoli's hair. "Then go out and rest for a bit."

"Okay." Leng Ruoli gave a slight nod.

After his wife went out, the corners of Jiang Muye's lips curled up involuntarily.

Ever since they got married, his parents had gone back. Apart from the servants, the house was essentially just him and Leng Ruoli in their own little world.

Pregnancy was hard, especially since Leng Ruoli had morning sickness, so Jiang Muye would personally prepare some lemon water and soda crackers to help ease it.

That way, after she threw up, she could put something in her stomach and feel a bit better.

Except Leng Ruoli's bizarre way of easing her morning sickness was drinking coffee.

She especially loved coffee, two cups a day, and she was particularly fond of coconut milk lattes.

When Mother Jiang, who was out of town, found out about this, she video-called and earnestly said to Jiang Muye, "Don't let your wife drink coffee anymore. Caffeine is so bad for the body, especially since she's pregnant now. She definitely needs to drink less."

"But my wife really likes coffee. Right now coffee is basically her spiritual support!" Jiang Muye said with some helplessness when he brought this up.

"Even so, it has to be in moderation. Wouldn't it be great to drink it after the baby is born?" Mother Jiang said to Jiang Muye seriously.

After hearing this, Jiang Muye let out a long sigh.

He said to Mother Jiang, "Alright, I got it."

After hearing Jiang Muye's words, Mother Jiang immediately nodded. "Good. Then you have to talk to Ruoli about it when the time comes. This matter could be big or small. I'm just afraid it'll have a big impact on the child."

"I still respect her wishes. I'll ask her opinion first." After ending the call with Mother Jiang, Jiang Muye went to find his wife.

He happened to see Leng Ruoli drinking a latte while drawing with watercolor pencils, very focused.

"Darling." Jiang Muye sat down beside her.

"You're here. Look, this is my fantasy of a family of four that I drew. Does it look good?" Leng Ruoli immediately turned the drawing toward Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye was from the Design Department, but he still had to admire Leng Ruoli's aesthetic sense and drawing skills, which really were first-rate. It was clear Leng Ruoli had studied painting before, otherwise she wouldn't draw so beautifully.

"It's pretty good. I think it's nice." Jiang Muye nodded.

After receiving Jiang Muye's affirmation, Leng Ruoli's eyes immediately lit up, and she couldn't help but smile. "I'm just showing off in front of an expert. It's not as good as yours, but getting your approval still makes me very happy."

The corners of Jiang Muye's lips lifted, and his gaze fell on Leng Ruoli's coffee. His smile froze.

What had to come would come.

"Darling," Jiang Muye said seriously, "let me discuss something with you."

"Go ahead." Leng Ruoli nodded.

"Can we drink a little less coffee during the pregnancy? Not that you can't drink it, but less frequently, like once every three or four days?" Jiang Muye discussed with Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Being pregnant is really hard!"

"I know, so I'm discussing it with you right now." Jiang Muye nodded.

"I want to too, but coffee is too hard to quit." Leng Ruoli puffed out her cheeks at Jiang Muye and covered her face with both hands, looking completely distressed.

"I understand. It's like quitting smoking or drinking," Jiang Muye agreed with her. "It's very hard at first, but gradually you get used to it."

"Then we have to find a substitute, right? Ugh, coffee really is hard to quit. I know it's for the baby's good, but when the morning sickness hits, really only caffeine can solve it. It perks me right up immediately. Otherwise, when I'm pregnant, I'm all dizzy." Leng Ruoli sighed.
