In the evening, Bao Jingyan came to pick up Su Ruanruan.
After dropping off Gu Jiarou at her place, they finally had some time alone together.
Bao Jingyan was dressed in his timeless black and white suit today, looking handsome and dapper.
Sitting in the car, he glanced at Ruanruan and then turned his head to look at the several bags in the back seat. He asked, "Where did you all go?"
Ruanruan mumbled, "Just wandered around."
"Did you buy anything for me?" Bao Jingyan asked in a low voice.
"No." Ruanruan said firmly.
Bao Jingyan reached for the bags, and with a simple flick of his palm, he pulled out a men’s bag, his brow raising, amused yet not quite smiling, "What’s this?"
Ruanruan’s face turned a shade of pink. She tried to grab it from him, but he wouldn’t let her.
Bao Jingyan looked down and opened it to reveal a scarf.
A grey one, with the LV brand.
He held it up, tilted his head, and chuckled lightly, "Mrs. Bao has good taste."
Ruanruan’s face grew even hotter, she huffed lightly, "It’s not for you! And I’m not Mrs. Bao."
Bao Jingyan folded the scarf neatly back into the bag, then leaned towards her. His voice was low and even carried a hint of tenderness, "Ruanruan, I really like it."
Ruanruan felt even more bashful, not daring to look at him.
But he continued to gaze at her with that tender look, and she couldn’t stand being watched like that, quietly drooping her little head.
"Ruanruan." Bao Jingyan’s voice turned husky, "Look at me."
She didn’t dare to lift her head, feeling the heat of his gaze.
Bao Jingyan simply pressed against her soft lips, murmured lowly, "If it’s not for me, then who is it for?"
She said nothing, just pressing against his shoulder.
Bao Jingyan didn’t ask any further, chuckled lightly, and kissed her willingly...
"Don’t." Her nervous whisper was so tense her whole body stiffened.
"What’s wrong?" Bao Jingyan kissed her gently.
Ruanruan trembled as if her soul was leaving her body, "Someone will... someone will see us."
"Then let them see," he pecked her small mouth lightly, "Come back with me tonight, okay?"
He was never fully satisfied at the Bao Family home.
Ruanruan was too shy and never let go, and he wasn’t good at forcing her.
As he said this, Ruanruan inhaled sharply, "I don’t want to."
"Why not?" Bao Jingyan teased her, "You’re like a little kitten when I kiss you."
Ruanruan was both embarrassed and annoyed, and didn’t want to deal with him any longer.
But Bao Jingyan was determined to get a firm answer from her today. He put away the jokes, sat up straight, and casually flicked the scarf she gave him, then after a moment, he raised his eyes to gaze at her.
His dark pupils stared intently for a moment before he softly asked, "What are you thinking now?"
"What?" She was somewhat absent-minded.
Bao Jingyan looked down at the fine quality scarf and said, "About the future, the days to come."
Ruanruan fell silent.
She really hadn’t thought things through yet. She bought the scarf today because Bao Jingyan had helped her a lot and she felt she should give something back, or at least hoped it would make him happy so he wouldn’t force her to do those strange things.
Now he was directly asking for a response and she didn’t know what to say that wouldn’t make him angry.
Bao Jingyan’s temper wasn’t the best.
She remained silent for a long while; how could Bao Jingyan not understand?
He sighed, "Let’s talk about it later."
She was a bit surprised and blinked lightly.
Bao Jingyan couldn’t help but find it funny and irritating, reached out to tug her hair fiercely and said, "Even if you haven’t agreed, you still can’t avoid doing those things."
Su Ruanruan’s face reddened, and she turned to look out of the car window.
Bao Jingyan tugged at her ear again, "I’m talking to you. Don’t play dumb."
