The bed linen had already been changed.
Bao Jingyan set down the meal and walked into the bathroom.
Su Ruanruan was there washing the sheets.
Bao Jingyan hugged her slender waist from behind: "Let the servants wash it."
Su Ruanruan, reserved, refused: "It wouldn’t look good if others saw."
Bao Jingyan kissed her earlobe: "Do you think they’re fools? Almost everyone in this house knows."
Su Ruanruan still refused.
Bao Jingyan saw that she was severely embarrassed.
His heart filled with tenderness, he said: "You go eat, I’ll wash it."
Su Ruanruan felt he wouldn’t know how.
Bao Jingyan then carried her to the bedroom and placed her on the sofa.
After finishing the meal, he went to the bathroom to wash the sheets himself, then called Aunt Fu to hang them up.
When Aunt Fu came, she miraculously brought a bowl of silver fungus soup.
She said it was the most suitable for women’s nourishment.
Su Ruanruan was reading a book, her face reddened upon hearing this.
Bao Jingyan closed the door.
He seriously said to her: "I think Aunt Fu is right!"
Su Ruanruan didn’t argue with him, sitting on his lap obediently drinking the bowl of silver fungus soup.
Neither felt sleepy, so they casually chatted.
Bao Jingyan said: "The New Year is coming, what gift would you like?"
Su Ruanruan held his hand, softly saying: "Bao Jingyan, I want to study medicine."
He was a bit surprised.
Being a doctor is very arduous, he subconsciously felt reluctant to let her.
But Bao Jingyan said: "If you want to go, then go!"
Su Ruanruan looked up at him: "What if I go abroad to study for a few years?"
"I’ll visit you twice a month," Bao Jingyan said without a second thought.
His attitude quite surprised Su Ruanruan.
Bao Jingyan is usually very possessive and likes to see her every day... but when she said she wanted to study medicine, he didn’t impose any restrictions.
Su Ruanruan was sure he was the one to spend her life with.
Even, she felt pity for his endurance.
Willing to give him everything.
But Bao Jingyan seemed... willing to wait.
Bao Ziqi’s health was improving day by day.
A week later, he was discharged from the hospital.
Bao Mingyuan personally set off firecrackers.
Xia Minglan visited the Bao Family daily, whereas Su Ruanruan avoided it.
Madam Bao started scheming.
This delay wasn’t a solution!
She decided to immediately take action—
Madam Bao’s action was not disclosed to her husband.
She believed Mingyuan would definitely support her.
Madam Bao had arranged several meetings, and finally met up with Mrs. Gu.
Two esteemed ladies sat in a private room of a high-end club, drinking tea.
Madam Bao proactively offered a gift as an apology.
She said politely: "Lin Sheng, we had some unpleasantness before, today I’m here to apologize."
Mrs. Gu smiled faintly: "Why so formal today?"
She continued: "If it’s because Ruanruan lent a small hand, there’s no need for this! Whoever it was, Ruanruan couldn’t have stood by and done nothing."
Madam Bao sipped her tea, covering her face.
After pondering for a while, she straightforwardly said: "These days, after much thought, I feel Ziqi and Ruanruan are truly the most compatible! Having shared both joys and sorrows before, Lin Sheng, for the sake of the children, we should set things right and let them be together."
Mrs. Gu understood her intentions.
She laughed incredulously: "Qi Meiyu, unless I’m mistaken, Ziqi has a fiancée! And that Miss Xia was personally introduced by you."
Madam Bao forced a smile: "That’s my fault! I haven’t been able to cultivate feelings between them for so long."
She added: "Ruanruan is also single now, and since everyone knows everyone well... perhaps..."
Mrs. Gu interrupted her: "Who said our Ruanruan is single?"
Mrs. Gu said: "Ruanruan is in a stable relationship and is already discussing marriage!"
