<h4>Chapter 49: Chapter 45: Are You Trying to Work Me to Death?</h4>


    "Chen Nan." Bao Ye’s tone was casual yet icy, tapping him on the shoulder, saying sincerely, "You’ve been single for so many years for a reason."


    Chen Nan: "..."


    What does insomnia have to do with being single?


    Chen Nan couldn’t figure it out and was just about to ask.


    Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head.


    Chen Nan suddenly realized why Mr. Bao hadn’t slept all night. Obviously, when a man and a woman stay up all night, they’re surely being lovey-dovey.


    With Bao Ye’s teasing gaze on him, Chen Nan’s ears involuntarily turned red.


    He was annoyed: "Mr. Bao!"


    "I’m just concerned about you."


    Yet here he was, making fun of him.


    Seriously!


    Bao Ye chuckled softly: "I know."


    "I didn’t say anything, why are you blushing so much? Tsk."


    Bao Ye stared at his face, his eyes yful, and uttered a few words with his thin lips: "You’re quite innocent."


    Chen Nan: "..."


    —


    When Jiang Ruan woke up in bed, her throat was dry and sore, and her legs were so weak they were trembling.


    She asked the servant to bring a ss of water. Jiang Ruan rubbed her waist and sat up, drinking the water, only to find the servant keeping her head down, not daring to look at her.


    Jiang Ruan was puzzled but then saw her arm and shoulder covered in hickies.


    Her skin was already fair, and now it crisscrossed, looking like it had been run over by a car.


    Not to mention it was quite rming.


    Jiang Ruan almost choked: "Cough."


    Quickly recovering, she drank all the water and, her face flushing, handed the ss to the servant, "You may go now."


    The servant went out.


    Jiang Ruany down again, her head still dizzy, a hangover, feeling like smothering that dog of a man.


    But then she remembered that she might have been the one who started itst night...


    Jiang Ruan sighed deeply; self-inflicted harm is unliveable.


    She picked up her phone and saw a bunch of text messages.


    She clicked into the pinned messages.


    Bao Ye went on a business trip and would return in a week!


    Jiang Ruan’s eyes lit up; her mood couldn’t be better.


    Next was the most from Lu Jie.


    Lu Jie: "Baby, when did you leave? You were gone by the time I came out??"


    Lu Jie: "Are you okay?"


    Lu Jie: "Oh my god,st night I even called Bao Ye a jerk and he heard it. I think I said a lot of nasty things. Hopefully, he won’t me you, boo hoo hoo."


    Lu Jie: "Did I cause trouble for you? Sorry, Ruan Ruan dear."


    ...


    Looking at a dozen text messages.


    Jiang Ruan smiled softly, her eyes gentle yet sarcastic as she typed and sent a reply.


    Jiang Ruan: "I’m fine."


    Jiang Ruan: "Just almost died in bed."


    After sending, she exited the chat window and saw a text from Sister Qin two hours ago.


    She said today’s work was canceled and exceptionally allowed her to rest for two more days, returning to thepany the day after tomorrow.


    Seeing this, Jiang Ruan felt instantly excited.


    No matter what, she left her phone aside and went back to sleep.


    The days off passed in the blink of an eye.


    That morning, Jiang Ruan arrived at thepany refreshed, her little ck Hepburn dress entuating her youthful elegance, stepping in YSL stilettos.


    Arriving at the office, Jiang Ruan took off her sunsses.


    Her red lips formed a smile: "Sister Qin, haven’t seen you in a few days. Missed me?"


    Sister Qin immediately stood up: "Missed you, almost missed you to death."


    Sister Qin smiled sweetly: "I wish I could see you every day; ideally, you’d be in front of me all 365 days of the year without rest."


    Jiang Ruanughed angrily: "You want to work me to death."


    "Come and sit." Sister Qin said.


    Jiang Ruan put down her sunsses and sat on the sofa. Sister Qin instructed an assistant to brew coffee.


    Soon, iced coffee arrived.


    Drinking coffee, listening to Sister Qin talk about today’s work schedule, Jiang Ruan couldn’t help but feel grateful that there weren’t overly revealing shoots in these days.


    Or she would be doomed.


    Then Sister Qin’s serious voice sounded: "Have you noticed that recently there’s been a sudden increase in online marketing for Li Xin?"
