Su Ruanruan said he was not serious.
She softly said, "Aren’t you moved by such a touching scene?"
Bao Jingyan whispered in her ear, "All I want to do is serve you well."
As for status, he and Ruanruan had long since let go of such concerns.
In other words, he considered Sun Jingan’s earlier comment nothing more than a fart!
Yet Su Ruanruan couldn’t act as freely as he did.
She suggested, "Let Anran stay here tonight. I’ve had thick curtains prepared, and leaving through the underground garage tomorrow morning should be perfectly safe."
Mrs. Sun Jingan clasped her hand.
She was immensely grateful. "It’s rare for you to be so thoughtful."
Su Ruanruan made these arrangements.
Even the elder Mrs. Sun was impressed.
But having opposed for so long, it was hard for her to lose face and she merely huffed, "It’s considerate enough."
Su Ruanruan smiled faintly, not minding.
She carried the poise of the lady of the house.
The Sun Family staying overnight, with their high status, must not be slighted.
She prepared two guest rooms on the fourth floor for them to stay in.
Every item was of the finest quality.
Even the fastidious elder Mrs. Sun could not find fault.
The servants at Bao Mansion prepared two hot water bottles for her, at just the right temperature.
Old Mrs. Sun was surprised, "How did you know my habits?"
The servant spoke clearly, saying efficiently, "Miss Su instructed us. Miss Su said that the elder lady had chilly feet since she was young, which becomes uncomfortable when it’s cold, and she always uses two hot water bottles at night."
Old Mrs. Sun was visibly moved.
She dismissed the servant.
When alone, she gently caressed the two hot water bottles.
She recalled the past.
Back then, Su Ruanruan was 18 when she stayed at her house for a few days.
It was just a casual conversation when it was brought up, and yet this girl remembered it to this day.
Elder Mrs. Sun suddenly began to cry, beating her legs as she said, "What sins have I committed these years!"
She missed Elder Mrs. Bao.
She thought of how they used to call each other - she as Old Sun and the other by her maiden name.
But for all the regret, that person was already gone.
Old Mrs. Sun beat her legs, weeping...
Having made sure everything was in order, it was already two in the morning for Su Ruanruan.
Exhausted, she took a bath and felt rejuvenated.
She had no desire to sleep.
Bao Jingyan stood on the balcony smoking.
Su Ruanruan approached, wrapping her arms around him from behind and asked softly, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"
Bao Jingyan held her hand, "I’ll sleep after finishing this cigarette."
He smelled good, and Su Ruanruan, with her face pressed against his back, was a bit infatuated, almost coquettish.
Bao Jingyan pinched out the cigarette and turned to scoop her up horizontally...
The affection was palpable.
He sat on the armchair in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, still holding her...
The heating was on full blast.
Su Ruanruan, clad only in a thin bathrobe, felt no chill.
She leaned in his arms, her black hair draped over him.
Bao Jingyan couldn’t get enough of her.
He murmured, "Don’t dye it anymore, Ruanruan looks best this way."
Su Ruanruan wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
In the deep of the night, their unhurried entanglement seemed all the more captivating.
After kissing for a while, Su Ruanruan said, "This makes me look too frail, I’m afraid the people under me won’t take me seriously."
He teased her, "Who would dare not listen to Miss Su?"
Su Ruanruan’s gaze was clear.
She kept her eyes on him.
She had always liked his good looks and never hid her feelings.
Bao Jingyan then caught her hand and placed it on his face, letting her feel. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel~fire~net
Her hand was nimble, and their thoughts were in sync.
After a while, Bao Jingyan could no longer hold back!
Su Ruanruan’s black hair flowed down her back, undulating.
Her demeanor, utterly beautiful...
