Su Ruanruan took a bath, changed into her loungewear, and headed downstairs.
A light pink cashmere robe.
Over it, she draped a coat that belonged to Bao Jingyan.
They were now legitimately engaged.
There was no need for her to avoid him anymore.
She cuddled up next to Bao Jingyan, reading a book.
The fireplace burned brightly, and she felt comfortable.
Housekeeper Wang brought over several servings of bird’s nest.
Bao Jingyan took them and personally fed Su Ruanruan...
Bao Mingyuan watched the young couple, feeling very pleased.
He said to Mrs. Bao, Bao Jingyuan, and Xia Minglan, "You should have some too! Bird’s nest is excellent for women."
Mrs. Bao smiled faintly.
With an attentive husband, she was also in a good mood.
She hadn’t noticed it, but Xia Minglan had sharp eyes.
She immediately noticed that Su Ruanruan’s serving of bird’s nest was different from the others’.
Su Ruanruan’s was golden blood bird’s nest.
While theirs was white bird’s nest, which, though also valuable, was somewhat inferior.
As sister-in-laws, competition was natural.
Xia Minglan seized the opportunity and delicately said, "Ruanruan, I don’t mind at all. But managing the house’s finances calls for fairness and justice! Just bowl of bird’s nest, I don’t mind being slighted, but it wouldn’t be proper if the lady of the house were to receive less."
Mrs. Bao heard this and paid attention.
Indeed, they were different.
She then looked to her husband.
To see what he would say!
Bao Mingyuan put down his tea.
With his temperament, he wanted to kick this Mrs. Xia out of the door right then.
Besides causing trouble every day, what good was she?
But Ziqi had not given the word.
So he had to endure her freeloading meals every day!
Ha, and now she’s being picky!
He was about to speak.
But Bao Jingyan said in a calm tone, "Housekeeper Wang, you tell it."
Housekeeper Wang smiled and said, "Indeed, these bird’s nests are different! What the lady, Miss Jingyuan, and Miss Xia have are the usual in our household, even the old lady eats this kind!"
Xia Minglan felt a block in her throat.
She asked, "Why is Su Ruanruan’s different?"
Housekeeper Wang smiled at her and said, "Miss Su’s golden blood bird’s nest was specially sent by Madame Sun Jingan, saying Miss Su is young and frail, and instructed us to stew it for her every other day."
Xia Minglan’s fingers clenched tight.
Madame Sun Jingan... such a distinguished person actually cared about this trivial matter with Su Ruanruan!
She refused to believe it!
Housekeeper Wang’s words were sharp as a knife: "The item specifically intended for Miss Su by Madame Sun Jingan, I can’t possibly give it to someone else, can I? Miss Xia, isn’t that right?"
Xia Minglan was extremely embarrassed!
Tears swirled in her eyes!
Everyone could see she looked like the aggrieved party.
She looked towards Bao Ziqi, hoping he would stand up for her.
Bao Ziqi had been disappointed with her lately and was considering breaking up.
His expression was indifferent.
Xia Minglan said her farewells, downcast.
Su Ruanruan reclined on the sofa, her beautiful eyes following her figure.
She pondered: This Miss Xia’s temperament is too extreme, she’s unlikely to let this go easily.
Such a personality, if left in the Bao Family, would ultimately be harmful.
Su Ruanruan remained calm.
She returned to her bedroom.
In her eyebrows lingered a touch of scheming.
Bao Jingyan helped her off with the coat, unhappily pressed her into the sofa, and kissed her.
"What are you thinking about again?" he nibbled on her little nose.
Su Ruanruan looked up at him.
Her long black hair, small oval face.
Her skin was even more delicate.
Bao Jingyan kissed her eyelids, calling her baby.
Su Ruanruan clung to him and acted spoiled, "Bao Jingyan, I have a cold."
Bao Jingyan turned her face towards him, kissing from her cheek to her lips.
After a long kiss, he pressed against her forehead and muttered softly, "Ruanruan, how could I bear it!"
