He still held her in his embrace, fingers combing through her long hair.
"Feeling better?" Su Ruanruan asked softly near his ear, gently caressing between his eyebrows.
There, just before, was a hint of annoyance.
He absentmindedly hmm’d in response at first, then lazily patted her, "Go make some noodles."
Su Ruanruan got off him, tidying her clothes while complaining, "I’m being ordered around to do chores even without a formal status yet."
Bao Jingyan lit a cigarette.
He chuckled, "What’s so hard about getting a status? Shall we go register our marriage tomorrow?"
She turned and headed downstairs.
Downstairs, Auntie Li was eagerly waiting.
Seeing Su Ruanruan descending, she quickly came forward to ask, "Is sir alright?"
Su Ruanruan smiled faintly, "He wants to eat noodles."
Auntie Li rubbed her hands, "Alright, I’ll get on it."
Su Ruanruan whispered, "Let me do it!"
Auntie Li was stunned briefly before realizing, then joyfully said, "Miss Su cooking is just as good."
Su Ruanruan was very shy.
She followed Auntie Li into the kitchen and took out the ingredients from the refrigerator.
She stewed an old hen in the pressure cooker to make a rich broth.
She shredded the chicken.
Added a few stalks of choy sum and two mushrooms.
It was fragrantly delicious.
Auntie Li couldn’t stop praising, "Miss Su is more and more like a lady of the house."
"I won’t come next time if you keep saying that," Su Ruanruan humbly protested.
Auntie Li stopped joking.
But in her heart, she was truly moved.
Just now she had seen the master come downstairs, taking a bath and changing into clean clothes.
He looked in a good mood.
Auntie Li secretly thought, in the past, it might have taken him days to recover.
It’s all thanks to Miss Su’s skills.
Not wanting to take the credit, Auntie Li let Su Ruanruan carry the tray to the dining room while she pretended to wipe with a rag, secretly paying attention to the sounds from there.
Su Ruanruan brought over the noodles.
Bao Jingyan put out his cigarette and started eating.
Su Ruanruan sat beside him, reading a newspaper...
Auntie Li secretly wiped away tears, smiling.
Sir has a family now, how wonderful!
That night, Su Ruanruan did not leave.
She went to the dressing room to get a silk nightgown, took a bath, and changed.
Her hair had just dried when she was embraced.
She couldn’t see him.
She could only smell the masculine scent and a faint trace of aftershave.
Su Ruanruan bit her tender red lips, "Weren’t you supposed to handle work matters?"
"All handled!" he gently nibbled the soft flesh behind her ear.
Su Ruanruan wanted to turn around.
But he wouldn’t allow it.
He held her in front of the mirror, gently teasing her.
It wasn’t long before she couldn’t bear it, crying softly.
Bao Jingyan lifted her in his arms, consoling her, "Last time wasn’t it fine? It’s only been a few days apart... why are you scared again?"
His gaze intensely fixed on her, a strong sense of dominance emanating from him.
Su Ruanruan dared not look at him.
Softly, she lowered her eyes.
Bao Jingyan whispered into her ear, "Ruanruan, are we reconciled now?"
Su Ruanruan wrapped her arms around his neck.
She dared not utter a word of dissent, or he’d be relentless!
Early the next morning, Su Ruanruan was awakened.
She lingered in bed, "It’s the weekend."
"Aren’t you seeking a formal status?" Bao Jingyan shook off the thin quilt and got out of bed himself.
Su Ruanruan immediately woke up.
She sat up, watching the handsome man dress.
Bao Jingyan, with his good physique, was unreserved before her.
Su Ruanruan blushed, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
Bao Jingyan leaned over to kiss her.
She naturally accepted...
After the kiss, Bao Jingyan lazily patted her, "Change and wash up."
He himself, went straight into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water echoed from inside.
Su Ruanruan paused for a moment, then her face heated up tremendously.
