During the New Year, Gu Ze didn’t want to fight.
He said, "I’ll come to pick her up tomorrow morning."
But Bao Jingyan said, "I’ll send her back early in the morning."
Gu Ze didn’t say anything and just drove away.
The deserted parking lot.
Bao Jingyan asked softly, "Have you been crying?"
Su Ruanruan’s eyes reddened again.
He continued, "I haven’t embraced anyone else, why are you crying?"
Su Ruanruan’s voice was frail, "How’s the child?"
"On the second floor, has a bit of a fever, Auntie Li is taking care of him," his voice was very gentle.
It seemed as if the separation of the past year never happened.
It seemed as if this moment was ordinary.
Su Ruanruan walked towards the hall.
But her hand was grabbed by Bao Jingyan.
He looked into her eyes and said, "Ruanruan, I’ve missed you a lot."
Su Ruanruan lowered her gaze, whispering softly, "But you’re also a real jerk."
"If I’m not a jerk, would you agree to Sun Jingan’s deal?" He gently touched her cheek and murmured, "Ruanruan, I know him better than anyone!"
His uncle didn’t approve of their relationship.
Yet he greatly admired Ruanruan.
He wanted to take her under his wing.
Su Ruanruan didn’t want to talk about these things; she wanted to see the little guy.
Bao Jingyan took her to the second floor.
In the eastern part of the second floor, they had set up a baby room.
Little Bao Jiaren was sleeping in her crib, Auntie Li was looking after her.
Auntie Li was very excited to see Su Ruanruan, "Miss Su is here."
Su Ruanruan felt a sting.
But the child was sick now, nothing was more important than that.
She checked over the child.
Luckily, the fever was just over 38 degrees.
The medicine prescribed by the doctor was also fine.
She helped the little one with physical cooling methods and after about half an hour.
Little Bao Jiaren’s temperature returned to normal.
Auntie Li was overjoyed, "Miss Su is really capable."
Su Ruanruan glanced at her, and Auntie Li felt a bit uneasy.
Bao Jingyan said, "Go prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner, Old Zhao and his wife can’t cook as well as you."
Auntie Li received a new task.
The quiet baby room, now left only Bao Jingyan and Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan still hadn’t calmed down.
She gently stroked the delicate little baby.
Looked carefully and indeed as Ziqi said, the face shape and nose resembled hers.
Su Ruanruan said softly, "The old lady and Ziqi must have noticed, right?"
Bao Jingyan embraced her from behind.
He murmured, "The old lady did notice; Ziqi knows me well enough."
The next words, Su Ruanruan didn’t want to hear.
He intended to make things clearer.
Her slender finger touched his lips.
Separated for a year.
Such a little contact was enough to stir emotions.
Bao Jingyan caught her finger, murmuring lowly, "Okay, I won’t talk."
He pulled her into his embrace, holding her tightly.
"Do you miss me?" he whispered in her ear.
"I don’t," Su Ruanruan stubbornly replied.
Bao Jingyan didn’t say anything.
He carried her into the master bedroom.
Inside, it was dimly lit; he didn’t turn on the light.
Su Ruanruan was placed on the sofa, continuously pressed about the question of missing or not.
"I don’t," her voice was fractured.
She was only 20 at the New Year, and out of the blue...
Since then, she had anchors to consider.
Bao Jingyan kissed her.
His voice raspy, he said, "You don’t want me, do you really want to watch me embrace another woman?"
He did all sorts of excessive things to her...
She trembled in his arms.
Completely overpowered.
She whispered a tearful ’don’t want’...
But how could she resist him?
Bao Jingyan didn’t concern himself, he only cared about her.
After a long while, everything settled down.
In the dimness, he found her fingers.
Their fingers interlocked tightly.
