Chapter 15 Hooked To Mu Chenjue

• Ruan Cheng thought Ruanruan would like the SpongeBob wrapping paper.
• She put the other wrapping papers away and picked up the SpongeBob wrapper, as she was about to get up and leave.
• “Oh my...”
• She was too focused on how to wrap the book cover to make SpongeBob stand out until she totally forgot a man was standing beside her.
• A brooch pinned on Ruan Cheng's business suit was hooked on her boss's belt buckle.
• “I... I'm sorry, I'm...” Ruan Cheng was embarrassed when she saw her brooch and the belt buckle were stuck together.
• The boss looked down at her with a profound look in his eyes.
• “Let me untie it, and I'll get it done soon...” Ruan Cheng gripped his boss's belt in a panic.
• It was her first time grasping on a man's belt.
• For more than five years ago, Ruan Cheng did not touch any men's clothing and belongings, and even in these few years when she was with Li Ye, such a situation did not happen either.
• She didn't know what was going on because whenever she met Mu Chenjue, something was ought to happen. It's like a chemical reaction and law of attraction.
• The design of the brooch was complicated. There were many hollow holes. Thus when it was stuck on the man's belt buckle, it was as if it was locked dead.
• The more anxious Ruan Cheng was, the more she couldn't get rid of it. The surroundings became very hot out of a sudden.
• “How much longer?” asked the boss.
• Ruan Cheng raised her head and looked at him.
• Mu Chenjue was very tall, and today, he was wearing black trousers and a white shirt. He would usually leave the top two buttons of his shirt unbuttoned, but as he was reviewing the drawings in the office, he undid three of them. His chest lines with defined contour were looming and caught Ruan Cheng's eyes.
• He had such a narrow waist and a body near to perfect proportion. His body temperature proved that he was still a living man, or else he might be mistaken as a perfectly-sculpted male model for fashion professionals.
• “I... I don't want my brooch anymore,” Ruan Cheng said evasively, and she did not dare to look at her boss's face. “If you really want to untie them, I'm afraid the belt buckle will be scratched.”
• When she was studying abroad, she and her friends got to know a lot of big brands for the sake of improving their personal taste and quality.
• She knew that the belt buckle of this brand was expensive, and that she couldn't even afford to pay for the damage.
• “It's better that you scratch my belt buckle than hanging yourself on my waist,” Mu Chenjue said as he looked down at Ruan Chen, who was still fumbling around and couldn't untie the brooch.
• It was nearly evening now. The afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the boss's body, and it was kind of surreal to look at him. Since he said so, Ruan Cheng lowered down her head, bit her lips, and continued to untie the brooch again.
• Mu Chenjue looked at her condescendingly like an emperor.
• Ruan Cheng was getting more and more upset because she couldn't get rid of it. Her soft lips opened slightly, and her breath was blowing on the abdomen of Mu Chenjue. He suddenly felt his body go stiff.
• Click! Finally, the buckle and brooch were finally separated.
• Ruan Cheng felt overjoyed, and she was grinning widely on her slightly scarlet face. She held her broken brooch in her hand and stood up.
• But there seemed to be something strange.
• She looked down instinctively, and with just one glance, Ruan Cheng was scared and took a few steps back unconsciously. Her body was slightly shaking, and when she looked up at the boss again, her eyes were full of fear and uneasiness.
• He was about 189cm in height, and he was standing upright with a serious facial expression, like a tutor punishing a student who had made a mistake.
• When Ruan Cheng looked at her boss's grim eyes, she was uncomfortable, and her mouth went dry. She kept on apologizing, “I'm sorry! Mr. Mu. I will continue to wrap the books now.”
• After apologizing, Ruan Cheng picked up the SpongeBob wrapper on the ground and went to wrap the books quickly.
• Ruan Cheng was careful in doing the wrapping.
• Every minute spent felt like eternity to Ruan Cheng. The status of her boss, his appearance, and his calm and noble behavior all indicated that no one was allowed to get near him.
• Ruan Cheng went downstairs later, and she was only able to calm herself down after a long while.
• In her mind, she was determined to stay away from her boss, who always got her in trouble from today onwards.
• It had taken her a lot of time to wrap the books, and Ruan Cheng had a backlog of work.
• Now that she could get herself busy, she could forget the embarrassing scenes at the president's office just now.
• “Come to our house for dinner. My brother will pick us up,” whispered Li Xiao as she was holding a stack of files in her hand.
• Ruan Cheng looked at her and nodded.
• Li Xiao inadvertently noticed the loosened fabric and the broken brooch on Ruan Cheng's blouse at her chest area.
• “It's broken?” Li Xiao asked in surprise.
• Although this brooch was not branded, it was something that Ruan Cheng had cherished since high school.
• Li Xiao didn't know who gave this old-fashioned brooch to Ruan Cheng, but she and Ruan Cheng knew each other since high school, and whenever she went to Ruan Cheng's house, she would see Ruan Cheng's treasured box.
• The only thing in the box was this brooch.
• Ruan Cheng looked down at the broken brooch on her shirt and lied, “I met a kid just now, and he held on to my brooch when I squatted down to talk to him, so...”
• “Naughty kid. What a nuisance.” Li Xiao thought Ruan Cheng must be sad because she had treasured this brooch for such a long time, and yet it was broken out of shape now.
• Li Xiao shook her head and went back to work.
• Ruan Cheng held the broken brooch in her hands dejectedly.
• Finally, it's time to get off work.
• It was Li Ye's rest day today, which was a replacement day-off after his business trip. He took this opportunity to survey for a new car, and after going through all the procedures, he finally got himself a new car.
• “I'm sorry,” Li Ye said and stared at Ruan Cheng intensely outside the company building. While apologizing, he opened the door for her and watched her get into the car.
• Li Xiao had her own car thus she left earlier.
• Ruan Cheng got in Li Ye's car, and they went all the way to the Li family.
• On the way, Li Ye concentrated on his driving without saying a word. He furrowed his eyebrows as if he was thinking about something. Ruan Cheng was silent too, and she just looked at the streets outside the window.
• When the car entered the community, Li Ye's parents were already waiting for them downstairs.
• “Mr. and Mrs. Li, you shouldn't have to wait for us here,” Ruan Cheng said, and she was a little shy.
• Li Ye's mother held Ruan Cheng's hand and patted affectionately, “I miss you!”
• “Mom! You are cheesier to Cheng than my brother,” said Li Xiao teasingly.
• Li Ye walked at the back of his family with one hand in his trousers’ pocket.
• In his hands was a premium jewelry box in black velvet cover. For Li Ye, getting on the proposal was like doing a coin toss. The result was always unknown.
• Other couples might not face a situation like this, but that's the case for him and Ruan Cheng now, and his tension was inevitable.
