Su Ruanruan looked down.
Her long lashes fluttered lightly, she neither agreed nor disagreed.
Her restraint, Bao Jingyan knew it well.
So he served her with even more tenderness.
In the end, Su Ruanruan nestled completely in his arms, tightly holding his lean waist.
Bao Jingyan lowered his head, calling her name.
Su Ruanruan spoke to him softly.
After nearly two months apart, naturally there was much to talk about.
She asked him about matters at home, asked about his sweetheart.
Bao Jingyan cared about how she was living there.
They talked for a long time, only realizing it was already four in the morning when they checked the time... soon, it would be daybreak.
Su Ruanruan was reluctant.
But she still advised him to leave first, she said, "Don’t climb over the wall to come here anymore, He Jitang is shrewd, you never know if he might find out!"
Bao Jingyan responded with a sound.
He affectionately nuzzled her forehead, saying, "I missed you so much this time!"
Su Ruanruan knelt and helped him straighten his clothes, gently saying, "I miss you too! Let’s meet outside when there’s a chance, otherwise I worry about your safety."
Her eyes were filled with love.
Bao Jingyan couldn’t help but hold her in his arms again.
After a tender moment like this, Su Ruanruan urged him, "It’s time to go!"
She also instructed, "If you have anything, you can let Old Gu send a message through Sister Zhou."
Bao Jingyan, having finally seen her, was very reluctant to leave, and only after kissing for a long time did he finally go.
After seeing Bao Jingyan off, Su Ruanruan still couldn’t sleep.
She hugged the cool quilt, reminiscing the feeling of being held by him.
Both aching and sweet!
This feeling, only Bao Jingyan could give her.
In the morning, little Ci’an needed to go to school, and Su Ruanruan helped him get ready.
She looked at herself in the mirror, having not slept all night, yet she didn’t appear haggard but rather radiant.
At this moment, Xiao Jing came in and said, "Miss Su, Young Master Ji is asking you to come over!"
Su Ruanruan was about to look for him, tidied up and then went.
He Jitang saw her in the living room, he was probably going out, wearing a very nice set of clothes.
Born with a gentle and handsome appearance, he looked rather dashing.
He gestured for Su Ruanruan to sit down.
Su Ruanruan was about to speak when He Jitang made a gesture for her not to speak yet.
He took out a small box, saying to her, "Workers recently discovered this, it’s of good quality, so I had it made into a bracelet for you."
Su Ruanruan opened it.
Inside was a string of cinnabar stones.
Each bead was full and crimson, very beautiful and precious.
She stared at it, He Jitang came over and whispered in her ear, "Do you like it?"
Su Ruanruan responded with a sound, "It’s beautiful!"
Thinking of what she saw yesterday, she still advised, "Third Brother, stop what you’re doing."
He Jitang stared at her for a good while, then slowly asked, "Did Young Master Huo’s wife take you there?"
Su Ruanruan didn’t deny.
He Jitang sat on the sofa, picked up a pair of cufflinks from the coffee table, and gently fastened them.
After finishing, he said, "Leave that matter alone."
Su Ruanruan didn’t say anything further.
She wanted to talk to him about moving out, but He Jitang suddenly spoke, "I wasn’t behaving well those days, it won’t happen again! Little Sister, rest assured to stay."
Su Ruanruan was taken aback.
She looked a bit stunned, He Jitang smiled slightly, bent down and softly asked, "Unhappy? Want Third Brother to treat you like that?"
Su Ruanruan snapped back to reality.
She said no, and He Jitang wasn’t displeased either.
He hurried to leave, said a couple more words and departed.
Soon, the sound of a car engine started in the yard.
Su Ruanruan sat on the small sofa, her body a bit stiff.
—He Jitang suddenly changed his mind, she couldn’t insist on moving out.
But she wasn’t anxious, with his assurance, she could patiently wait for the opportunity.
