Bao Jingyan unintentionally heard Gui Zhi mention something.
He chuckled and slowly went upstairs.
Su Ruanruan had just finished her bath and was sitting in front of the dressing mirror applying skincare products.
Her body clad in only a silk nightgown.
Her shoulders, delicate and bare.
Her hair draped down to her waist.
Her slender waist, not even a handful in size.
Bao Jingyan wrapped her from behind, leaning in close to sniff near her ear.
His voice was husky: "Did you spray perfume?"
Su Ruanruan’s body shivered, her voice tightened.
She replied: "No, I just washed my hair."
"It smells really good," his lips gently pressed against her hair.
Teasing her in such a gentle yet firm way, both were feeling it.
Su Ruanruan didn’t want to give in to him easily; she continued applying her skincare products.
However, her voice trembled: "It’s usually the same brand too."
Bao Jingyan knew what she was thinking.
He wasn’t in a hurry either.
He let go of her and sat down on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Leisurely flipping through a magazine while enjoying the sight of her meticulous skincare routine. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Su Ruanruan observed him through the mirror.
She spoke of household affairs to him: "Aunt Gui is getting on in years, and this villa is too big; I think we need to hire more staff."
Su Ruanruan thought it over: "Let Aunt Gui manage them."
Bao Jingyan chuckled: "Aunt Gui is soft-hearted, I’m afraid she might not handle it well."
Su Ruanruan glanced at him through the mirror and lightly said: "Isn’t there Aunt Li as well? She’s the most capable, with her help, Aunt Gui won’t be at a disadvantage."
Bao Jingyan considered and said: "I thought you wanted to transfer some people over from Jiangcheng."
Su Ruanruan disagreed: "We can’t spare people from Jiangcheng!"
She finished her skincare routine and had other matters to discuss with him.
Gracefully, she stood up.
The pure white silk nightgown twirled in the air.
Bao Jingyan’s thoughts were no longer on domestic chores.
Su Ruanruan sat down next to him.
The single-seat sofa made their closeness rather delicious.
Bao Jingyan turned to look at her and chuckled.
He brushed away her hair, and seriously said, "And then?"
Su Ruanruan spoke earnestly too.
She said: "Moreover, if people from Jiangcheng start working in B City, if we transfer them all over here, having insiders might be a problem if they get ambitious; it could be difficult to manage."
Bao Jingyan was very interested.
He lifted her onto his lap, playfully saying, "What’s with all these cunning and grand plans in that little head of yours? When will you think about me?"
After Su Ruanruan finished discussing serious matters.
She also understood the mood.
She looped her arms around his neck, her eyes sparkling.
She feigned ignorance: "Weren’t you downstairs chatting with Ziqi? Why did you come upstairs?"
Bao Jingyan glanced towards the patio.
He said, "I heard Aunt Gui got some new plants; I came up to take a look."
Su Ruanruan remained silent.
She lowered her head, fiddling with the buttons on his shirt.
Bao Jingyan’s voice was tender: "Won’t you let me see?"
While he spoke of viewing the plants, his hands were unrelenting.
Su Ruanruan felt a chill.
She nestled in his arms, her voice quivering: "Bao Jingyan..."
He hummed absentmindedly.
It seemed... he had no intention of changing location...
A night of affection.
Su Ruanruan opened her eyes.
The dawn light filtered through the white gauze curtains into the bedroom, as soft as moonlight.
Bao Jingyan was already up.
He was tying his necktie by the bed.
Su Ruanruan watched his mature and handsome figure, feeling a stir in her heart.
She kneeled up, softly saying: "Let me do it."
Bao Jingyan bent down obligingly.
Su Ruanruan’s fingers were nimble, tying the necktie neatly.
When finished, she asked him in a low voice: "You’re so dressed up today, is there an occasion?"
Bao Jingyan tapped her lightly.
He said: "Didn’t I tell you the day before yesterday, today I’m taking our little darling for a kindergarten interview."
Su Ruanruan quickly said: "I nearly forgot."
Bao Jingyan watched her.
As Su Ruanruan was about to head to the bathroom, he caught her slender wrist...
