Ruanruan was recovering from a cold, and the Lunar New Year was just days away.
She bade farewell to the elderly lady.
Bao Jingyan happened to hear her speaking.
His company was on holiday, and he planned to spend quality time with Su Ruanruan.
Yet, she was returning to the Gu Family.
Bao Jingyan was reluctant.
But he knew she was someone who cared about propriety.
Bao Jingyan then said, "Stay two more days, I’ll take you back on the 29th."
Su Ruanruan said, "Mom has asked me to help prepare for the New Year!"
When they were alone, she said to him, "It’s my first year going back home, I don’t want to make her sad."
Bao Jingyan then packed her luggage.
She had arrived with several large suitcases.
This time, he dragged out a 20-inch carry-on.
He only packed her frequently used skincare products and a set of pajamas.
Su Ruanruan laughed: "What are you doing?"
Bao Jingyan pulled her into his arms.
Holding her entirely.
His thin lips landed behind her fluffy ear, "If you take everything back, people will think you were kicked out by your in-laws."
"Then I’m not coming back?" Su Ruanruan asked softly.
He couldn’t bear it, and he kissed her.
In the afternoon, he drove her back to the Gu Family.
Prepared by Bao Mingyuan himself, the holiday gifts were carefully checked by Gui Zhi, he told his eldest son, "It’s the first year, we can’t be careless!"
Bao Jingyan closed the trunk.
Su Ruanruan put on her down jacket and got into the car.
Bao Mingyuan told her, "On the first day of the New Year, your aunt and I will visit the Gu Family."
Su Ruanruan smiled lightly, "Thank you, uncle."
Bao Jingyan took a phone call and got into the car.
The car’s heater was on full blast, and Su Ruanruan took off her coat.
She asked him softly, "Has Jingse not returned yet?"
Bao Jingyan focused on driving, briefly replying, "I’m flying to City B tonight."
"Is there something at the company there?" Su Ruanruan asked.
He said, "I’ll rush back on the thirtieth."
He drove Su Ruanruan to the Gu Family.
After delivering the gifts and having a couple of cups of tea, he then prepared to drive to the airport.
Su Ruanruan stood up to see him off.
She disagreed, "Let the driver take you."
"It’s only an hour’s drive," Bao Jingyan fastened her coat gently, "Hurry inside, it’s cold outside."
Su Ruanruan returned to the living room.
Gu Ze teased her, "Get married quick next year; otherwise, even New Year’s will be torture."
Su Ruanruan stuck out her tongue at him.
Gu Ze fished out a red envelope from his coat, "Lucky money!"
He picked up a suitcase, ready to leave.
Mrs. Gu came down from upstairs and stopped him, "Jingyan’s business trip is for work, why are you running out during the New Year?"
Gu Ze waved his hand, "Going to see my wife."
Mrs. Gu scoffed, "Your wife is all over the place!"
Su Ruanruan couldn’t help but laugh.
Mrs. Gu pulled out her red envelope to check.
Inside was a check for 20 million.
She said, "At least he has some conscience."
Su Ruanruan, more concerned, asked, "Has brother started dating a girlfriend recently?"
Mrs. Gu was hopeless, "All I know is that he’s always rushing to City B, probably found another actress."
A thought struck Su Ruanruan.
She remembered someone was in City B!
She kept it to herself, holding Mrs. Gu’s hand, ready to accompany her for New Year shopping.
Mrs. Gu looked her daughter up and down, "You’re too plainly dressed, during New Year’s you should wear something bright and vibrant."
Su Ruanruan called for Gu Jiarou.
Gu Jiarou’s parents were very fond of Su Ruanruan and were happy to let their daughter be close to her.
Half an hour later, the three of them were strolling in the biggest trade center in Jiang City.
Mrs. Gu had good taste.
She picked a lively outfit for Gu Jiarou.
It really showed off her legs.
Su Ruanruan, now engaged, needed to dress more formally.
An understated floral dress inside, paired with a thin red down jacket.
It complemented her complexion.
Su Ruanruan liked it very much...
