Su Ruanruan was forcefully brought onto the car.
He Jitang had been drinking, but he hadn’t completely lost his rationality and let the driver drive the car.
In the back seat, Su Ruanruan kept a tense face: "He Jitang, where are you taking me?"
He Jitang’s refined face was tense.
He ignored her.
Su Ruanruan became a bit anxious and wanted to get out of the car.
She was held by He Jitang from behind, his voice steady: "Didn’t I say, I’m taking you to see Bao Jingyan!"
"You’re a pervert!" Su Ruanruan couldn’t stand it and cursed him.
Her voice carried a hint of crying: "He Jitang, what did I ever do to you?"
She didn’t even know where the strength came from, desperately struggling.
"Don’t move!" He Jitang’s heart ached suddenly, he abruptly pulled off his tie, binding her hands in just a few moves.
Su Ruanruan couldn’t move anymore.
She shrunk to the side of the seat, the corners of her eyes slightly red, feeling very wronged.
He Jitang scoffed coldly: "Here we are in this situation, yet I still can’t bear to lay a hand on you."
He said no more, loosened two buttons, and only told the driver to drive faster.
The black limousine raced on the highway.
About an hour later, it stopped at the entrance of a five-star hotel.
The driver said softly: "Jitang, we’ve arrived."
He Jitang untied the tie on Su Ruanruan’s hands, half-draping her shoulder as they walked towards the hotel’s entrance.
Su Ruanruan then realized they had arrived in City Z.
Clearly, this hotel had dealings with He Jitang, as soon as he arrived, the manager came forward: "Jitang!"
He Jitang raised his chin slightly: "Where is the person?"
The manager seemed somewhat hesitant but still led the way.
Su Ruanruan didn’t move, He Jitang whispered in her ear: "Didn’t you want to see him? I’ve brought you here, why don’t you go in?"
Su Ruanruan gave him a glance, then took the lead walking ahead.
She knew in her heart: He Jitang brought her to such a place just to let her see certain things, right?
Indeed.
The door to the private room opened, Bao Jingyan was socializing with a few men.
It was for a land auction.
The men were playing cards, with young girls sitting beside each of them.
Holding waists, touching a leg, very normal.
Yet, the seat beside Bao Jingyan was empty.
He heard the commotion at the door, and raised his eyes.
There was his Ruanruan beside He Jitang, wearing casual home clothes, clearly brought forcibly by He Jitang.
Bao Jingyan immediately understood: He Jitang had found out.
He didn’t intend to keep pretending.
Bao Jingyan placed his cards down lightly, greeted the men, saying: "I have family matters to attend to! Let’s reschedule."
The men, who often socialized, joked a bit.
Bao Jingyan’s dark eyes fixed on Su Ruanruan, smiling gently: "No games today, the wife has come to catch me in the act!"
The other men took a measure of Su Ruanruan, appearing to understand.
Being so accustomed to socializing, they knew how to cover for each other, especially since young President Bao was known for keeping himself clean.
[Haha, Mrs. Bao misunderstood!]
[Young President Bao is a good man.]
[Exactly, didn’t even touch a girl’s hand, sister-in-law, don’t misunderstand, okay?]
...
Su Ruanruan forced a smile: "I didn’t misunderstand!"
Bao Jingyan saw her unease, knowing she was troubled by He Jitang. He originally meant to wait longer, but now there was no need.
He stepped forward to hold Su Ruanruan’s hand, introducing He Jitang solemnly to others.
"This is Jitang! Also my wife’s third brother."
Those men naturally had heard of Jitang’s name.
Expressions of flattery, extremely sycophantic!
Bao Jingyan smiled warmly: "Don’t see us out, gentlemen!"
The men were all perceptive, noticing the ambiguous relationship between the three, and left the room to them.
The place was cleared.
Bao Jingyan let Su Ruanruan sit on the sofa.
He poured her a cup of tea.
Su Ruanruan tilted her head as if about to speak, he reassured her with a smile: "Let me handle it."
