Bao Jingyan tossed and turned, lying on his side, his body slick with sweat.
Su Ruanruan moved slightly.
He caught her, whispering low, "Lie with me for a while."
Su Ruanruan refused, insisting on going to the bathroom.
After a moment, Bao Jingyan listened to the sound of running water from the bathroom and couldn’t help but meticulously relive what had just happened, especially Su Ruanruan’s subtle expressions when she was moved.
His heart swayed, and he felt he couldn’t lie down any longer.
He simply put on his clothes and went to the guest room to freshen up.
When Su Ruanruan came out, Bao Jingyan was no longer in the bedroom. She changed and went downstairs.
As she walked down the stairs, she saw Bao Jingyan sitting at the dining table, sipping coffee while reading the Jiangcheng Morning News.
Su Ruanruan gracefully went over and sat down.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Auntie Li with a complex expression.
"What’s wrong?" Su Ruanruan thought something had happened to Auntie Li’s family and asked with concern.
Auntie Li’s face showed a combination of sorrow and indignation.
Su Ruanruan was even more baffled!
Bao Jingyan placed the newspaper in front of her and chuckled, "Auntie Li thinks you’ve had an affair."
"We’re not even married, how can there be an affair?" Su Ruanruan didn’t want him to take advantage of her.
She scrutinized the newspaper carefully.
The headline of the Jiangcheng Morning News was a photo of her and Gu Ze looking intimate.
Su Ruanruan was quite speechless.
Mrs. Bao had truly put in the effort!
"Any thoughts?" Bao Jingyan tapped the table and snorted lightly.
Auntie Li’s eyes were wide open like brass bells, waiting for the "madam’s" explanation.
Su Ruanruan felt intimidated and took small sips of her milk.
After a while, she slowly said, "There’s nothing to explain!"
Bao Jingyan sighed softly, "Miss Su, I went through great lengths to secure your position as head of R&D, it looks like it was all for naught!"
He added with ill-intention, "Prepare yourself for Director Bao’s interrogation!"
Su Ruanruan hummed, "Looks like I’ll probably have to pack up today and go home to sponge off my family."
Bao Jingyan laughed heartily, "There’s nothing wrong with being supported by me!"
He also pinched her cheek.
Su Ruanruan cried out in annoyance, "Bao Jingyan, you mustn’t do this!"
Bao Jingyan found it amusing and pinched a few more times.
While they were fooling around, Bao Mingyuan’s call came through.
Su Ruanruan answered it.
After a while, she hung up and said to Bao Jingyan, "Your father wants me to go to the company and explain. Bao Jingyan, can I say that my secret affair is with you?"
Bao Jingyan raised his cup slightly, chuckling.
Su Ruanruan glared at him.
He just knew how to laugh at her expense!
She stood up, went upstairs to get ready, and then took Old Zhao’s car to the company.
From start to finish, she wasn’t the least bit nervous or scared.
Auntie Li couldn’t understand.
Some indescribable thoughts flashed through her mind!
Could it be that both the master and Young Master Gu... Could it be they have some special preferences?
"What are you thinking?" Bao Jingyan spoke up.
He was both annoyed and amused, "Who do you think Gu Ze is? If he had any designs on Ruanruan, would he be easily photographed?"
Auntie Li breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately worried for Su Ruanruan.
"What will Miss Su do? Will the master give her a hard time?"
"Yes," Bao Jingyan affirmed.
Auntie Li became even more anxious, "Won’t you help her, master?"
Bao Jingyan leisurely put down his cup and sighed, "Do you think your Miss Su can’t handle it? She is brave enough to even shoot Mu Jiu."
Auntie Li’s heart skipped a beat.
After a while, she barely spat out a sentence, "Miss Su is indeed tough."
Bao Jingyan slowly folded the newspaper and revealed another earth-shattering piece of news.
The news left Auntie Li with her mouth agape for a long time!
After a while, she stuttered, "Does Miss Su not know?"
