Su Ruanruan went upstairs.
Only a bedside lamp was on in the master bedroom.
The light was a soft yellow, somewhat enchanting.
Bao Jingyan leaned against the headboard making a phone call, still in his white shirt and black trousers.
When she came in, he glanced at her and hung up the phone.
Su Ruanruan had something to ask, but she wasn’t in a hurry.
First, she took a bath, then changed into a bathrobe and sat at the vanity to take care of her skin.
Bao Jingyan, having presumably showered in the guest room, conveniently came over as well.
She had just sat down when he lifted her onto the vanity, her back against the mirror.
Bao Jingyan was greatly aroused, and bent down for a kiss.
Su Ruanruan resisted him with difficulty: "I have something I want to ask you."
He paused, his dark eyes fixated on her.
Bao Jingyan’s pupils were particularly captivating when he was impassioned.
Su Ruanruan bit her tender red lip, about to say something when he silenced her with a kiss...
He was always domineering, and Su Ruanruan quickly submitted.
...
After a while, she nestled in his arms and asked softly, "Bao Jingyan, do you really want to get married?"
Bao Jingyan’s voice was hoarse, somewhat lazy.
He counter-asked, "Don’t you want to get married?"
Su Ruanruan thought to herself: Mrs. Yin has fallen from grace, no longer able to stir up trouble! Taking it slow might just be okay.
Having made up her mind, she deliberately acted coquettishly with him.
Su Ruanruan wrapped her slim arms around his neck, "Bao Jingyan, after the new year, you’ll be 35, considered late for marriage."
He pressed his forehead against hers: "Not satisfied with me?"
Still embracing, he teased lightly, "Miss Su, that didn’t seem to be your sentiment just now!"
Su Ruanruan bit her red lip.
Bao Jingyan’s methods were always powerful.
She couldn’t resist, her voice broken: "Stop... don’t... Bao Jingyan..."
"Call me husband!" he insisted.
Su Ruanruan’s eyes shimmered like water.
She called out like a kitten.
Bao Jingyan’s voice grew even huskier, "I didn’t hear clearly, call me again."
Su Ruanruan refused, resting her chin on his shoulder.
Bao Jingyan usually didn’t bear to bully her, but tonight was different.
He reached over and took out a bottle of champagne.
He fed her champagne, intoxicating her.
An inebriated Su Ruanruan would call out whatever... in a most unseemly manner.
...
After a wild night, Su Ruanruan had a headache.
Early in the morning, she lay resting in Bao Jingyan’s embrace.
She would see no one.
She sighed softly, "You’ve been too indulgent."
But she couldn’t blame him, for she too found pleasure in it.
Bao Jingyan, who had taken advantage, coaxed her for a long while, then went to take care of the little beauty and Song Bing.
Approaching noon, Su Ruanruan received a phone call.
It was from Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu spoke to her gravely, "We have a guest at home, I think you should come and see!"
She specifically instructed, "Let Old Zhao drive you. Jingyan, you don’t have to come yet."
Su Ruanruan was very clever, she guessed the situation at once.
Her body ached, but she had to get up for such matters, to avoid being laughed at.
Bao Jingyan returned to the bedroom.
Su Ruanruan told him about it while she washed up.
In the end, she added, "What you did last night wasn’t right."
Bao Jingyan just smiled, leaning nearby he spoke with concern, "Or should I accompany you after all?"
Su Ruanruan was always strong-willed.
She thought for a moment and said, "Concerning our past issues, it wasn’t pleasant between the two families, now I should stand my own ground even more, so as not to be looked down upon, preventing others from saying that I hide behind a man."
Bao Jingyan embraced her, lips brushing her ear, "Miss Su is tough, Miss Su always leads the way."
Su Ruanruan slapped him lightly: "Nonsense."
He entangled with her for a little longer.
Su Ruanruan turned in his arms, "Quit it, I need to go."
But Bao Jingyan had someone send up lunch.
He wanted her to eat a bit before going down.
He also teased her, "Miss Su always cares about face, I won’t let you go downstairs to eat."
