Su Ruanruan couldn’t sleep.
She opened the door to check.
Just then, Aunt Li was holding a baby, walking towards the third floor.
Seeing her, Aunt Li involuntarily called out, "Miss Su."
Su Ruanruan couldn’t help feeling sentimental.
She stood there, pointing at the little thing in Aunt Li’s arms, and asked in a thin voice, "Is this Bao Jingyan’s child?"
She bent down to cuddle the little one, saying lovingly, "Probably hungry."
Suddenly, she stepped forward and placed the baby directly into Su Ruanruan’s arms.
Aunt Li eagerly said, "Miss Su, please feed her."
With a sudden soft thing in her arms, Su Ruanruan became stiff.
She was actually avoiding this.
But now the child was in her arms, and she couldn’t help but look.
A little pink bundle.
And particularly looked like Bao Jingyan...
Su Ruanruan’s gaze dimmed.
Yet the little one grabbed her pajamas, finding her spot.
Su Ruanruan felt a bit of pain.
She also felt a bit shy.
After all, she was still a young girl, never having been a mother.
Watching this, Aunt Li felt envious.
She said to Su Ruanruan, "Miss Su, hold her for a while; I’ll go make her some formula."
Su Ruanruan wanted to call someone.
But Aunt Li ran off quickly.
With the hallway draft, fearing the child might catch a cold, Su Ruanruan had to bring her back to her own bedroom.
She didn’t know how to take care of children.
She just placed the little one on the bed.
Then found a book for herself and sat down by the floor-to-ceiling window to read.
She considered this book her Heart Clarity Spell.
Instead of Aunt Li, Bao Jingyan was the first to come.
The baby made small noises.
Bao Jingyan pushed the door open and glanced at Su Ruanruan, saying, "She has wet her diapers."
Su Ruanruan looked at him and kept reading her book.
Pretending to be indifferent, she said, "Take her back and change her!"
"The heating on the third floor is broken," Bao Jingyan said matter-of-factly. "Tonight, the little lady will sleep here with you."
Su Ruanruan bit her lip, "I don’t know how to take care of children."
"She’s well-behaved when full."
He added softly, "Better behaved than you in your sleep."
Su Ruanruan felt both angry and embarrassed.
Just then, Aunt Li came with a bunch of stuff.
Diapers, a milk bottle, fairy tale books, and an electronic keyboard.
Su Ruanruan couldn’t help saying, "There are many bedrooms on the second floor."
"You expect Ziqi to take care of her for me? Isn’t his leg hurting?" Bao Jingyan asked her.
Su Ruanruan was extremely smart.
She guessed that he had noticed earlier.
Bao Jingyan had a child with someone else but still clung to her and Bao Ziqi.
Seeing them bicker like before, Aunt Li felt nostalgic.
Tears in her eyes, she efficiently changed the baby.
Then, she fed her the milk.
Bao Jingyan walked up to Su Ruanruan, his elegantly boned fingers gently taking the book from her hand.
He looked at it: "Like reading this?"
Su Ruanruan hadn’t really paid attention before, and only now realized what kind of book it was.
She felt angry and embarrassed again.
Bao Jingyan returned the book to her.
He said very considerately, "It must have been lonely for you in Britain this past year."
Su Ruanruan threw the book at him.
Bao Jingyan caught her, his voice low as he warned, "Don’t make noise this late!"
Leaving the child behind.
After Aunt Li finished feeding the baby, she too ran off quickly...
In the bedroom, it was quiet.
Only the baby’s gentle, shallow breathing.
And a faint scent of milk.
Su Ruanruan watched the little one intently, fearing she might start crying.
But the little thing was as Bao Jingyan said, very well-behaved after eating.
Su Ruanruan struggled for a long while, but eventually lay down on the bed...
