Early morning.
Su Ruanruan woke up and instantly saw Bao Jingyan’s magnified handsome face.
He was shirtless.
Little Ci’an nestled in his arms, sleeping.
Bao Jingyan’s body was warm, heating little Ci’an until he was toasty.
Su Ruanruan pinched He Ci’an’s cheek and quietly asked Bao Jingyan, "Do you want a son?"
Bao Jingyan had always been honest about such matters.
He hummed in response: "I do!"
He added, "A son to inherit the family business, to work hard and earn money to support his lovely wife and little sister."
Su Ruanruan’s face turned red: "Can we have whatever we wish for?"
Embracing little Ci’an, Bao Jingyan said, "If we can’t have one, we’ll raise Ci’an as our son." After speaking, he kissed little Ci’an.
The little guy, eavesdropping, blushed.
Su Ruanruan laughed, "I’ll go to the bathroom to change out of my shirt and let you wear it. Soon the servants will be up, and it’s not proper for you to be shirtless."
Bao Jingyan teased her, "Are you afraid the little maids will see?"
Su Ruanruan muttered under her breath and got up to go to the bathroom.
Little Ci’an, still fondly clinging to Bao Jingyan, asked in a soft voice, "Uncle, are you afraid of auntie?"
Bao Jingyan let the little guy sit on his abdomen.
With one hand behind his head, gazing at little Ci’an, he said, "How can you say afraid! I adore your auntie."
Little Ci’an’s face turned redder, "It’s pretty much the same!"
Bao Jingyan pinched his little nose.
It hurt a little, but He Ci’an was pleased.
— Daddy never played with him like this!
Su Ruanruan came out after changing clothes, she gave the shirt back to Bao Jingyan and took care of getting little Ci’an ready for the day.
Bao Jingyan jumped out of bed, quickly buttoned up the shirt, tucked it into his trousers, and buckled his belt.
Before washing up, he stole a kiss from Su Ruanruan.
This scene was caught by He Jitang as he entered the room.
He silently withdrew.
...
Bao Jingyan and Su Ruanruan had breakfast at the He Residence.
Little Ci’an was in good health, and Grandma He was delighted.
She patted her grandson’s head and suddenly said to Su Ruanruan, "Let Ci’an spend the New Year with you!"
Su Ruanruan looked up.
She glanced at the elderly lady, then at little Ci’an’s sparkling eyes.
She smiled slightly, "Does little Ci’an want to go?"
He Ci’an looked pitifully towards He Jitang.
He Jitang’s voice was refined, "If you want to go, go ahead!"
"Thank you, Daddy," He Ci’an’s voice was loud.
He was so happy that he ate an extra portion for breakfast.
After breakfast, Bao Jingyan brought He Ci’an back home as a New Year’s gift for his little princess.
The little princess was naturally happy to see He Ci’an.
The two children got along very well!
The addition of a child made the Bao Mansion lively throughout the New Year.
After the holiday, the Bao Family was quite busy.
First was Bao Jingse’s wedding in Jiangcheng, followed by Anran’s marriage to Bai Muye.
Su Ruanruan attended both weddings and was filled with emotions.
Back home, after removing her makeup and jewelry, she sat down for her skincare routine.
Bao Jingyan was sitting on a small sofa next to her, reading the financial report, lately enjoying accompanying her like this.
Su Ruanruan paused her movements.
She looked in the mirror at Bao Jingyan, "Anran is just over 20, why is she getting married so early?"
Bao Jingyan said nonchalantly, "She chose the person herself, someone she likes."
Su Ruanruan contemplated, "I always feel it’s too soon!"
Bao Jingyan looked up, seeing his little wife’s worried face.
He walked over, hugged her from behind, and sucked hard near her ear, "You were only 18 when you followed me, right?"
He shamelessly added, "When I gave you that ring back then, weren’t you so happy you couldn’t sleep for three days?"
Su Ruanruan felt both embarrassed and annoyed.
She said with reservation, "I merely accepted it reluctantly, where was the happiness for three days?"
But Bao Jingyan wasn’t focused on that topic.
He was intent on the soft spot behind her ear, blowing breaths, kissing, and teasing her.
