Deeply in Love: The Two-Faced CEO is Too Clingy

Chapter 407: The Hero Saves the Beauty

Chapter 407 The Hero Saves the Beauty

Feeling Jiang Mengru's gaze, Xu Shaojun turned around and smiled slightly at her.

After saying goodbye to the CEO of Zhang's Group, Xu Shaojun put down his wine glass, walked up to Jiang Mengru, bent down, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her lips: "Would you like to go back to the dance floor and dance for a while?"

Jiang Mengru shook her head: "No, I'm waiting for Yi Rou. I have so much to say to her."

"Alright then, I'll go keep the guests company and come back to find you later."

"it is good."

Xu Shaojun cupped her face and kissed her lips again before turning back to continue exchanging pleasantries with the guests.

When Yue Yirou returned from the restroom, she happened to see Xu Shaojun kissing Jiang Mengru. She paused for a moment, and only continued walking after Xu Shaojun turned and left.

But after walking over, she was a little embarrassed. Why had Yan Ye changed his position?

Looking at Jiang Mengru, and then at Yan Ye sitting alone on another sofa, she didn't know who to sit down next to.

"Yi Rou, you're back. Come sit here and let's catch up." Jiang Mengru waved to her as soon as she saw her.

Yan Ye patted the spot next to him.

The two sofas were a bit far apart. She wanted to chat with Jiang Mengru, but she didn't dare to neglect Yan Ye.

After nodding and smiling at Jiang Mengru, Yue Yirou walked up to Yan Ye, leaned down and kissed him on the cheek: "Ye, I'm going to chat with Mengru for a while, just for a little while, okay?"

"How long is 'a while'?" Yan Ye asked.

"Um," Yue Yirou thought for a moment, "at least half an hour, right?"

"fifteen minutes."

"Mengru and I haven't seen each other for many years..."

"ten minutes."

"Alright, alright, fifteen minutes it is." Yue Yirou reluctantly compromised.

"Then go home," Yan Ye said.

"it is good."

Only after receiving Yan Ye's permission did Yue Yirou dare to walk to the seat next to Jiang Mengru and sit down.

"Yi Rou, how have you been all these years? Have your uncle and aunt treated you well? And has Yue Xintong bullied you? How did you and Young Master Ye meet? With him around, He Peirong and Yue Xintong shouldn't dare to bully you anymore, right?"

As soon as Yue Yirou sat down, Jiang Mengru grabbed her hand and kept asking her questions.

Yue Yirou didn't know if Jiang Mengru felt Yan Ye's cold gaze, but she did. She understood why, worried that Yan Ye would rush over and break Jiang Mengru's wrist. Before she could finish speaking, she pulled her hand away from Jiang Mengru's and gestured for her to look in Yan Ye's direction.

Jiang Mengru immediately understood and whispered to Yue Yirou with a smile, "Your young master Ye is such a jealous man, he's even jealous of women."

"Isn't that right? I'm even afraid of him now." Yue Yirou said with distress, Yan Ye's jealousy was truly extraordinary.

"This shows that he loves you very much."

“He really loves me.” Yue Yirou smiled sweetly. “Mengru, I think Young Master Xu treats you very well too. I saw it just now.”

"Yes, Shaojun is really good to me." Thinking of Xu Shaojun, Jiang Mengru glanced in his direction, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Have you known Mr. Xu for a long time?" There were many questions I wanted to ask, but for some reason, the first question I asked was this one. Perhaps it was because Mr. Xu gave her a familiar feeling.

Jiang Mengru turned her gaze away from Xu Shaojun: "You still haven't answered me how you and Ye Shao met. Answer my question first, and then I'll tell you about Shaojun and me."

Yan Ye only gave her fifteen minutes, so Yue Yirou had to keep it brief in order to clear up her doubts.

She told Jiang Mengru the truth about Yue Quan and He Peirong and her daughter, but as for how she and Yan Ye got together, she only told Jiang Mengru that she had saved Yan Ye when she was a child, and Yan Ye had never forgotten her. Later, he found her and married her.

"I never imagined that you and Young Master Ye would end up together like this," Jiang Mengru said, somewhat surprised.

"I never expected this either." She never imagined that she and Yan Ye would end up together, never imagined that Yan Ye would still be thinking about her. She had almost forgotten what happened back then, but he had always kept it in his heart and was deeply in love with her.

"Alright, I've told you my story with Ye. Now it's your turn to tell me your romantic love story with your young master Xu."

Jiang Mengru glanced in Xu Shaojun's direction and said shyly, "Actually, my story with Shaojun isn't very romantic."

Yue Yirou simply smiled and looked at her without saying a word, waiting for Jiang Mengru to continue. But to her surprise, Jiang Mengru's next words were: "Guess what?"

She actually made her guess.

Yan Ye only gave her fifteen minutes, and now more than half of them have passed.

Yue Yirou was a little anxious and said with a smile, "How...how could I possibly guess? You tell me."

"No, guess! It's easy to guess." Jiang Mengru insisted that she guess.

Helpless, Yue Yirou could only guess: "Um, you two met at a party?"

“No.” Jiang Mengru shook her head.

"So, you met on the plane?"

No, guess again.

"...picked up his wallet?"

Jiang Mengru chuckled and said, "No, that's not it."

"I really can't guess, you tell me." She really couldn't guess, and she didn't have time to guess anymore.

"Alright, I'll tell you."

Jiang Mengru shifted her gaze to Xu Shaojun, looking at him with a sweet smile as she said, "My story with Shaojun is exactly the opposite of your story with Ye Shao. You saved Ye Shao, but for me and Shaojun, it was Shaojun who saved me."

Jiang Mengru glanced at Yue Yirou, who looked surprised, and asked with a smile, "You didn't expect that, did you? It turns out that Shaojun and I are a hero saving a beauty."

Yue Yirou nodded: "Yes, I really didn't expect that."

“That night, Shao Jun appeared and saved me.” Jiang Mengru’s smile faded. “That day, I went to a friend’s birthday party and drank a few too many drinks. My friend took me back downstairs. As soon as he left, a beggar jumped out of the bushes and tried to pull me into the lawn… Luckily, Shao Jun happened to be passing by and saved me.”

As Jiang Mengru spoke, she shifted her gaze to Xu Shaojun, who was holding a wine glass and chatting with the guests not far away. A sweet smile gradually appeared on her pretty face.

After hearing her story with Xu Shaojun, Yue Yirou felt even more confused.

She never imagined that Jiang Mengru and Xu Shaojun's meeting would be a case of a hero saving a damsel in distress.

The hero saves the damsel in distress trope...

“He entered your life when you were most helpless and desperate. That must be fate,” Yue Yirou said.

"That's right." Jiang Mengru nodded. "It really is fate."

"Has your relationship with Young Master Xu started a long time ago?" Yue Yirou asked.

Jiang Mengru shook her head, and was about to answer her question when she saw Xu Shaojun beckoning to her: "Mengru, come here for a moment."
