Su Ruanruan still hung her little neck, her small hands fiddling with the buttons on his shirt.
That maiden’s demeanor stirred Bao Jingyan’s heart. With a sweep of his hand, he pushed the documents on the table aside, then placed her on the conference table.
He leaned down to kiss her.
Su Ruanruan refused, her little face pressed against his chest, wrapping her arms around his neck to prevent his kisses.
"What’s wrong?" Bao Jingyan looked down at her, his voice hoarse beyond recognition.
Su Ruanruan remained silent, holding onto his shoulder.
Her delicate white fingers, even the nails were pink...
After a moment, he kissed her lips gently, "Alright, I won’t touch you."
He thought that she must have been scared this afternoon!
Bao Jingyan sighed inwardly, to be so frightened already, what would she be like on that day.
Thinking this, his heart stirred again.
But he forcefully suppressed it.
His little one is reserved and timid, she needs more nurturing.
Bao Jingyan straightened her clothes for her, gave her several instructions before taking her out to dine.
The house servants saw his demeanor and naturally treated Su Ruanruan with warmth and politeness.
Su Ruanruan felt somewhat unaccustomed.
After her father’s death, she never received a good treatment in the Su Family.
Bao Jingyan, usually overbearing, was considerate in this matter. He reached out to hold her hand, whispering, "You’ll get used to it eventually."
Hearing him say this, Su Ruanruan felt like crying.
Bao Jingyan said nothing, only stood up and walked behind her, gently wrapping his arms around her.
His embrace was warm.
Su Ruanruan didn’t feel like pushing him away.
The house servants secretly smiled, feeling that the master and Miss Su truly matched each other perfectly.
They stayed quietly for a while, before Su Ruanruan said in a hoarse voice, "I need to go back."
This time, Bao Jingyan did not object.
He went upstairs to get the car keys, Su Ruanruan quickly grabbed his arm, "Just let the driver take me back."
He knew she was afraid of being discovered, so he took the initiative to say, "I won’t drive in."
Su Ruanruan let go of his arm, consenting.
Bao Jingyan fetched the car keys upstairs, and grabbed a coat as well.
Walking back to her side, he draped the coat over her shoulders: "Let’s go."
Su Ruanruan looked at the coat, he had already started walking ahead.
Bao Jingyan felt a craving for a cigarette; he lit one while walking, then sat in the car with the window down, slowly blowing smoke rings.
Su Ruanruan silently sat next to him, he then extinguished the half-smoked cigarette.
He drove slowly, chatting with her about her experiences in the Su Family.
Knowing the reason why Su Ruanruan was willing to stay by his side, after a while he softly suggested, "When the new drug is released, try interning in the development department."
She was surprised and bewildered.
Turning her head, she stared at him.
Bao Jingyan had his left hand on the steering wheel, his right hand holding hers.
Su Ruanruan felt a warm flow gently passing through.
She leaned back in the seat, her little face rubbing against his coat, as if enveloped by his scent...
It turned out, he knew everything.
Half an hour later, Bao Jingyan’s car stopped at the gate of the Bao Family Mansion.
Before Su Ruanruan got out of the car, she returned his coat to him; he hesitated but eventually set it aside.
"Tomorrow, I’ll have the driver pick you up at the school gate," he leaned in and whispered.
Su Ruanruan shook her head.
Afraid he’d be upset, she softly added, "Someone will notice eventually."
Bao Jingyan looked at her, silent.
Su Ruanruan hesitated, then leaned in and kissed his cheek.
After the kiss, her face was burning like fire; she dared not look at him and hurriedly got out of the car.
