He Jitang smiled.
He suddenly asked her, "Have you still been angry with Third Brother recently?"
He was referring to the matter with Lin Xianni.
Su Ruanruan honestly answered.
She said, "Managing Third Brother’s household affairs shouldn’t be my concern, but since he intentionally avoids them, I intervened for the sake of Grandma and Ci’an, so it’s not about being angry!"
She added, "I should go now! Bao Jingyan is waiting for at ho."
After saying that, she got into the black car.
He Jitang stood there for a long ti, the mole under his eye faintly reddening.
He was indeed handso, but he did not catch Su Ruanruan’s eye.
...
Su Ruanruan returned to the Bao Mansion.
Bao Jingyan had not yet co back, so she started to pack his clothes.
He was going to T City, where it was hot.
Su Ruanruan packed several sets of clothes for him to change into and put so of his favorite ties and other items as well.
After finishing, her waist and back were sore.
She took a bath and sat on the sofa reading a dical book.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Ma ca by.
She was close with Su Ruanruan, and entering the Bao Mansion was just a matter of saying a word.
Gui Zhi, being courteous, personally led Mrs. Ma upstairs.
Mrs. Ma also knew that Gui Zhi held a special status in the Bao Family, so she cleverly brought a woolen scarf that the old lady liked.
The design was to Gui Zhi’s taste.
Opening the door to the small study, Su Ruanruan enjoyed a mont of leisure.
The sunlight was just right.
She wore a towel robe, leaning on the couch reading.
Her little face was luminous and pale, her black hair draped over her shoulders.
She looked quietly beautiful.
Mrs. Ma took off her coat and exclaid with admiration, "You still have leisure for this!"
Su Ruanruan asked Gui Zhi to make two cups of coffee.
Gui Zhi went downstairs.
Mrs. Ma couldn’t wait to say, "You are at ho, but do you have any idea about the outside situation?"
Su Ruanruan closed the book and smiled lightly, "What’s happening outside?"
Mrs. Ma told her, "That Gu Dahong is really disgraceful! He takes grain from the He family but embarrasses you! At the ti, there were a few others as well, even including Mrs. Yin’s spies. Now, Mrs. Yin has spread rumors on the internet saying you faced rejection at Master Gu’s!"
Mrs. Ma was worried about her career.
She analyzed, "Gu Dahong has a lot of influence in the south!"
She grabbed Su Ruanruan’s hand, "We must find a way to change his mind."
Su Ruanruan smiled.
She said, "It’s not difficult!"
Mrs. Ma worried for her, "You say it’s not difficult, but I know how stubborn Gu Dahong is! If he looks down on soone, no matter how influential, he dares to embarrass them in public!"
Wisdom shone in Su Ruanruan’s beautiful eyes.
She just gently said one sentence, and Mrs. Ma was stunned.
Ah?
It turned out to be so!
Mrs. Ma turned her worries into joy, and with a smile said, "I worried for nothing! I didn’t know you were so capable!"
Just then, Gui Zhi brought in the coffee.
Su Ruanruan handed her a cup, saying, "Just drink your coffee!"
Mrs. Ma felt relieved and stayed for a little while longer.
In the evening, Bao Jingyan’s car returned.
Mrs. Ma, knowing it was ti, got up to leave, "I won’t disturb you any longer! Ruanruan, I await your good news that day!"
Su Ruanruan escorted her downstairs.
Bao Jingyan happened to enter the lobby.
He nodded to Mrs. Ma, who smiled as she left.
Outside it was cold, but it was warm inside the ho.
Bao Jingyan took off his coat and suit.
His white shirt was rolled up to his elbows, revealing his sturdy forearms.
He sat down, pulled Su Ruanruan to his side, and asked, "Why did Mrs. Ma suddenly co over?"
Su Ruanruan told him about the matter at the He Residence.
Bao Jingyan playfully tugged her ear, "Ah, so our Miss Su is about to make a standout performance again!"
Su Ruanruan sternly said, "It’s just about winning Gu Dahong’s favor! These people are proud, if you don’t show so capability, they won’t respect you."
Bao Jingyan continued to smile at her.
After a while, Su Ruanruan beca embarrassed.
She softly asked, "What’s there to stare at my face for?"
Bao Jingyan tenderly said, "My Ruanruan looks good everywhere!"
At that mont, the hall was quiet, the servants having already made themselves scarce.
Unable to resist, he wrapped his arms around her slender body and kissed her...
