He Jitang asked.
The person answered, "It’s true! Bao Jingyan frequently suffers from headaches, and YR Group is now managed by Bao Ziqi."
He Jitang waved his hand, dismissing him.
A servant came in, carefully picking up the scattered rice paper and ink on the floor.
He Jitang wrote a few pieces of calligraphy but still couldn’t help himself and went to the small courtyard.
The courtyard was lively.
Servants were moving He Ci’an’s luggage back and forth; the young master had many belongings.
He Jitang saw Su Ruanruan washing little Ci’an’s face from outside the door; she treated Ci’an gently and did not neglect him because of He Jitang.
Little Ci’an was happy, but being a boy, he was a bit shy, his little face blushing.
For some reason, He Jitang felt a softness in his heart.
He called a servant and ordered, "Move the small bed from the young master’s bedroom here."
Little Ci’an heard this and came over, acting coquettishly: "I want to sleep with auntie."
He Jitang said indifferently, "You are a boy, it’s not convenient."
Little Ci’an looked at Su Ruanruan for help.
Su Ruanruan came out, touched little Ci’an’s head and said, "Ci’an is a little man."
Hearing her words, Ci’an sighed, his spirit dampened.
Su Ruanruan then gave him some treats, which cheered the little guy up.
Seeing her like this, He Jitang felt a stir in his heart, and the teardrop-shaped mole under the dim light also exuded tenderness.
As Su Ruanruan turned around, he caught her thin wrist, calling out softly, "Ruanruan."
Su Ruanruan was startled.
She struggled hard, but He Jitang was reluctant to let go.
He confessed his feelings, "When Ci’an falls asleep, I will accompany you."
Su Ruanruan said softly, "Third brother, let go! If not, I’ll call Ci’an."
Still, he was unwilling.
Su Ruanruan looked down, "Third brother, acting like this, we can’t cooperate! I stayed only because I couldn’t leave, not because I wanted to be your wife."
Her rejection was absolute. He Jitang felt a sense of loss, his pride making him let go.
Su Ruanruan went inside to talk to little Ci’an.
The child was affectionate towards her, clinging to her every night, indeed preventing He Jitang from getting close.
He Jitang, surrounded by numerous women in City B, had not been with a woman since arriving in Yangcheng two months ago.
After a couple of days, Chen Er’s hand was somewhat better.
He hopped over, bringing news: "Shui Linglong is coming to Yangcheng for a show, and since Master Ji can’t have Miss Su, why not seek her company to alleviate the loneliness?"
He Jitang, who was writing, looked up at him.
He smiled faintly, "Isn’t she with Boss Yan? I don’t touch married women."
Chen Er felt wronged, "Miss Su is also a married woman."
He Jitang threw a brush at him.
He cursed Chen Er as muddled.
Chen Er, trying to appease him, came up with the idea just to cheer He Jitang up.
He Jitang fell silent for a moment, "I’m sincere with Miss Su! I won’t find another woman."
Chen Er was dumbfounded.
He left, puzzled along the way, thinking He Jitang had changed.
Miss Su ignored him, yet this vigorous man didn’t think of women?
Chen Er complained all the way, unintentionally letting little Jing, who served Su Ruanruan, overhear.
Little Jing, having heard of Boss Yan’s fame and Shui Linglong’s recent popularity, longed for it and told Su Ruanruan back at the courtyard.
Su Ruanruan, upon hearing this, unexpectedly lost herself in tears.
Little Jing was frightened, hastily grabbing a tissue, "Miss Su, did I say something wrong?"
Su Ruanruan shook her head.
She took Little Jing’s hand and pressed a large gemstone ring into it.
Looking into her eyes, Su Ruanruan said, "You should ignore what Chen Er said!"
Little Jing dared not betray He Jitang, but looking at that ruby the size of a pigeon’s egg, she was tempted.
This must be worth millions!
Little Jing slowly put the ring in her pocket, whispering, "I didn’t hear anything!"
Su Ruanruan gave a soft hum, gesturing for her to leave.
Little Jing left and closed the door.
Su Ruanruan’s tears fell again; she both cried and laughed.
She knew it was Bao Jingyan who had come for her!
