Su Ruanruan knew what was on his mind.
She leaned her head on his strong arm and coyly said, "Bao Jingyan, I will spend my whole life with you."
He grunted in response, kissing her forehead.
The two embraced silently for a mont, filled with an indescribable sense of bliss.
...
Su Ruanruan packed the box carefully, with great solemnity.
On the other hand, Bao Jingyan felt that since today was their wedding ceremony, it ought to have so kind of ritual.
In the evening, after taking a bath, he returned to the master bedroom.
But Su Ruanruan was not there.
He found her in the study, clearly having taken a bath herself.
Dressed in a pure white robe, with her hair draped over her shoulders.
Soft and alluring.
She sat behind the desk, many dical books spread out in front of her.
She had taken a blank notebook and was writing sothing!
Bao Jingyan walked up behind her, leaned down over her shoulder and asked, "What are you writing?"
Su Ruanruan spoke softly, "Anran’s illness has been cured, and I find these ancient dical texts very useful, but too few of them remain. So I’m thinking of writing a ’dical Classics’, to make my small contribution to the field of Chinese dicine."
Bao Jingyan’s hands were restless.
But his expression was nothing but serious, "Miss Su, you sure do have a strong sense of career purpose."
Su Ruanruan, picking up the teasing in his tone, didn’t get angry but reasoned with him, "A woman still needs to have her own career. Relying on looks to serve others will not last."
Bao Jingyan had been waiting for her to say just that!
He pushed her hair aside, savoring the tender skin behind her ear.
He talked nonsense, "But what if I am just a superficial man? What then?"
Su Ruanruan was both embarrassed and annoyed.
Once again, she fell into his hands.
She held his hand, her voice coy, "Stop it!"
Bao Jingyan wouldn’t let her go, whispering, "Miss Su, fulfill your duties."
Su Ruanruan bit her red lip.
He was insufferable, having made her drink half a bottle of champagne the night before.
And he was not sparing her today.
Bao Jingyan seriously coaxed and cajoled, "Last night was last night, tonight is tonight, your husband is in the pri of life, physically and ntally healthy..."
He was serious, all pretense gone.
Joking and comforting her.
And in the end, he got his wish and carried her back to their room.
Su Ruanruan curled up in his embrace, her black hair cascading down, truly beautiful!
*
Early morning.
Su Ruanruan was drinking milk, reading the newspaper.
Gui Zhi, who doted on her, cooked a special al just for her.
Seeing her reading the newspaper, she said, "You’re learning bad habits from this father and son duo, no reading at the table during als."
The elder took the newspaper away as she spoke.
Su Ruanruan always respected her, and as she was about to ask for it back, she felt a wave of nausea.
She covered her mouth and ran to the washroom.
Soon after, the sound of retching ca.
Bao Mingyuan, having experienced this before, asked his eldest son, "Is Ruanruan pregnant?"
At the dining table, everyone pricked up their ears!
Bao Jingyan didn’t answer.
He got up and went to the washroom.
Su Ruanruan was indeed feeling unwell, leaning on the edge of the sink, sowhat weak.
Bao Jingyan held her shoulders with both hands, allowing her to lean against him.
He asked tenderly, "Could it be that you’re pregnant?"
Su Ruanruan shook her head, speaking softly, "I don’t know."
Logically, it seed unlikely.
But there is always the unexpected.
Bao Jingyan made a quick decision, instructing the servants to bring a coat for Su Ruanruan to put on.
He helped her up.
He told Bao Mingyuan, "Ruanruan is feeling unwell, I’ll take her to the hospital."
Bao Mingyuan was indeed hopeful.
But he remained restrained, "It’s best to get it checked out."
He gave Bao Jingyuan a aningful look.
Bao Jingyuan imdiately wagged her tail, "Big brother, let go with Ruanruan! It’s better to have another woman around to help."
Bao Jingyan knew Su Ruanruan’s temperant.
He told his sister, "You’re only half a woman! Stay at ho and behave."
Bao Jingyuan wailed in frustration.
