Bao Ye’s eyes were on the book, but his senses were constantly focused on the person beside him; he just appeared to be engrossed.
Jiang Ruan leaned over, looking at the thick book cradled in his palm, the text was complex classical Chinese: "What book is this?"
Bao Ye replied: "Zizhi Tongjian."
Just hearing the na, Jiang Ruan lost interest: "Oh."
She lay down beside him, the surroundings peacefully quiet. She was troubled by sothing in her heart, turned her head to see the gap between his arms, her lips curled into a smile as she found the right angle and snuggled her head in.
Bao Ye was reading the book when a furry head suddenly nestled into his embrace. He continued to read without changing expression, though amusent flickered in his eyes.
His long arm naturally wrapped around her shoulder: "Not sleepy?"
His voice was magnetic, like a deep bass tone alluring to the ear. Jiang Ruan replied: "I felt a bit sleepy before I lay in bed, but now that I’m lying down, I’m not sleepy anymore."
Bao Ye’s gaze shifted from the book, his lips clicked with a teasing remark: "There’s so subtext in that statent."
"What, feeling like doing it?"
Jiang Ruan almost choked on her own saliva; she blushed and glared at him: "Not feeling like it."
"I tell you, I’m exhausted. It’s all your fault for being so intense two days ago, I haven’t recovered yet."
Hearing her complaints, Bao Ye laughed lazily but said nothing.
Things quieted down, Jiang Ruan nestled in his embrace, sneaking glances at him reading the book.
He was wearing a robe, the collar at his chest had been nudged open by her, and from this angle, his side profile looked especially handso.
Cold white skin, sharp chin, not a trace of excess fat.
Going down was his Adam’s apple, sporadically swallowing, quite sexy.
Then there was the collarbone...
Bao Ye appeared focused on his reading, but was actually constantly aware of her movents.
Feeling her gaze moving from his face to his chest, Bao Ye’s throat felt a bit dry.
He casually lowered his head, only to et her dark eyes.
Jiang Ruan didn’t expect him to suddenly look at her while reading, feeling a bit awkward, she blinked cutely.
With their eyes eting, he absorbed all her emotional responses.
Jiang Ruan was the first to break the silence: "Hmph, you can keep reading, don’t mind . I’m just a bit sleepless."
Then Bao Ye closed the book, placed it on the table beside, and said softly: "Not reading anymore, I’ll chat with you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan’s eyes instantly lit up.
Bao Ye half-lay down with her in his arms, his neck resting on the pillow, his gaze swept over with certainty: "Want to tell sothing?"
Shot straight to the mark.
"How did you guess?" Jiang Ruan was a bit startled, she hadn’t said anything yet.
How did he know she had sothing to say?
Bao Ye smiled, of course, without ntioning her eyes spoke volus. Even if she didn’t speak, he could infer most of it from her expressions and gaze.
Maybe it was the long ti they’d been together that bred such a tacit understanding.
"Maybe I have a mind reading technique," he teased steadily.
Jiang Ruan pouted.
Bao Ye asked: "So, what do you want to say?"
His expression was very focused.
Jiang Ruan didn’t hold back anymore: "I rember that under the Bao Family’s investnt is also an entertainnt company, right?"
Nestled in his arms, her hand rested on the man’s narrow waist, playfully hooking with her fingertips, while her eyes watched him.
Bao Ye remained expressionless: "Yes."
"So, does the entertainnt company invested by the Bao Family have high dividends?" Jiang Ruan asked, "How is the annual revenue?"
Without giving it any thought, Bao Ye directly answered her: "Pretty good, typically above fifteen percent."
"But entertainnt companies are different from other projects, it’s not the primary developnt focus for the Bao Family."
Saying that, Bao Ye raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding her intent: "Want to invest in an entertainnt company?"
He hit the nail on the head, Jiang Ruan blinked: "How did you guess so quickly?"
She was sowhat amused: "I haven’t even said anything yet."
Bao Ye chuckled but didn’t speak.
Saying this, her fingertip poked his chest, her small mouth pouted, coquettishly saying: "Do you really have mind reading technique?"
Being asked, Bao Ye leaned close to her ear, exhaling warmly: "Ever heard of this saying?"
"What?"
Bao Ye’s lips curved up, leaning close to her pearl-like pink ear, huskily saying: "People whose souls have resonated will have heightened senses."
Jiang Ruan looked up, still not fully understanding the aning of his words.
Bao Ye explained softly: "When I say soul resonance, I an making love with you."
Bao Ye chuckled: "There’s indeed no mind reading technique, I’m not a worm in your belly, but after doing it frequently, I can tell from a re expression whether you are sulking, just like now, when you say a word, I can imagine what you want to say."
