Su Ruanruan fiercely washed her face.
He said with a bitter smile, "I know you don’t like how decisively I act, but..."
"I know," Su Ruanruan interrupted him.
She turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of shattered glimmers.
She said, "Bao Jingyan, do you think if you protect me well, I can pretend to be ignorant and comfortably enjoy your kindness? That all I need to do when you’re injured is to change your dressing!"
She paused, then continued, "Is this what you mean by being together?"
Bao Jingyan was stunned for a moment.
He had lived for 28 years and had never lost his composure before.
While he was dazed, Su Ruanruan had already pushed him away.
"Go to hell, Bao Jingyan, I don’t want this kind of love!"
She quickly changed into another set of clothes and hurried downstairs.
By the time Bao Jingyan regained his senses, she had already left in a car.
Aunt Li, seeing him come down, couldn’t help but mutter, "She left without even having breakfast."
Bao Jingyan sat down and took a sip of his black coffee, "You didn’t stop her?"
Aunt Li looked puzzled, "It’s your job to coax her, why blame me?"
She couldn’t resist adding, "You were quite loud last night!" Even though it was in the basement, those heart-wrenching screams were still unnerving to hear.
Bao Jingyan’s eyes fell on the morning newspaper, and he remained silent.
Yet his thoughts flew toward Su Ruanruan.
Did Ruanruan say those things because she wants to be with me?
A faint smile appeared on Bao Jingyan’s lips.
It was very attractive.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Aunt Li took his coffee away, "You’re injured and still drinking coffee! Miss Su said you need to drink more milk."
Bao Jingyan thought nothing of it, "Miss Su is not here."
"You still have to listen," Aunt Li whispered, "Miss Su said you’re the type who likes to show off!"
Bao Jingyan chuckled, "What did she say?"
Aunt Li, slick and smooth, ran off swiftly.
Su Ruanruan spent the day in an unsettled mood.
She wondered whether to return in the evening or not.
If she didn’t, she was worried that he would neglect his health.
But if she did, she feared being mocked by him.
Back and forth, she agonized over it all day.
At six o’clock in the evening, she left work on time.
Old Zhao, the driver, was waiting for her in the parking lot, very pleased, "Young Master Jingyan asked me to pick you up."
Su Ruanruan gave Old Zhao a glance.
Old Zhao smiled thick-skinned.
Just as she was about to get into the car, someone behind her called her name.
Su Ruanruan turned her head and saw Bao Ziqi standing a few meters away.
With a complex expression.
"Is there something you need?" Su Ruanruan asked, polite but distant.
Bao Ziqi made an affirmative sound, then said to her, "I’ll be waiting for you at the coffee shop ahead."
He was very proud and walked away after speaking.
Old Zhao disagreed, "Young Master Jingyan is still waiting for you!"
Su Ruanruan had just had a minor quarrel with Bao Jingyan, and she was not pleased by the remark.
She wasn’t even married to Bao Jingyan yet, and he was already controlling her !
If she complied blindly, would she even have a place in the household in the future?
Besides, she was also curious about what Bao Ziqi came all this way for!
So, Su Ruanruan softly said, "You wait for me here."
Old Zhao’s mouth hung open: No way! Please don’t make Young Master Jingyan wear a green hat!
Su Ruanruan glared at him again.
She was well aware of the dark thoughts in his mind.
Bao Ziqi sat in the meticulously decorated coffee shop, watching through the glass as Su Ruanruan walked towards him...
His mood was indeed complicated.
Last night’s words from Su Qionglin had shocked him.
He hadn’t expected that Su Ruanruan was not actually the Su Family’s biological child. She didn’t know, did she?
That’s why the Su Family had easily sacrificed her back then, letting her replace Su Qionglin as the "housekeeper" at the Bao Family...
