CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 282: SWEET! FEELING BETTER? 1

Su Ruanruan finished speaking and walked out.

She went to Bao Jingyan’s office.

Secretary Xiao said he had just left the company.

Su Ruanruan pondered: He must have gone back.

She wanted to visit him, but they were in the middle of a cold war; it really wouldn’t be right.

But then she thought, if the roles were reversed and she was the one heartbroken, would Bao Jingyan still hold onto the cold war?

Having figured that out, she took a car to the villa.

When the car stopped, Auntie Li saw her as if she had found a savior.

"The master came back just now and seems to be in a very bad mood."

Su Ruanruan spoke softly, "I’ll go up and see him."

Auntie Li, who was quite understanding of these matters, said, "If... if the master is out of line, please bear with him, Miss Su."

"Don’t worry." Having said that, Su Ruanruan gracefully ascended the stairs.

She arrived on the second floor, where the master bedroom was tightly shut.

She called out but got no response, so she opened the door.

Inside the bedroom, the curtains were firmly closed.

It seemed dark and gloomy.

The smell of cigarette smoke permeated the air.

Su Ruanruan took off her shoes and walked towards the faintly glowing red ember.

Through the haze, Bao Jingyan was leaning against a recliner with a cigarette between his slender fingers.

Beside the ashtray, there were already seven or eight cigarette butts.

Su Ruanruan did not scold him; she leaned beside him and asked in a soft voice, "Why not turn on the light?"

He silently lowered his head to look at her.

She added, "What if you fall asleep and start a fire?"

Her small hand, as white as jade, lightly snatched the cigarette from his hand, pressed it out, and took the ashtray to the bathroom.

When she returned, Su Ruanruan had a warm towel in her hands.

She knelt beside him to wipe his face.

With tender gentleness.

Bao Jingyan remained still, his dark eyes fixed on her.

"Do you want to sleep for a while?" she asked him in a low voice.

He remained silent.

So, with a blush, she reached out to gently unbutton his shirt.

And his belt!

Bao Jingyan lightly pressed down on her small hand and said in a husky voice, "Why are you so kind today?"

He pulled her into his embrace, doing nothing else.

Just pressing her to his chest.

Through the fabric of his shirt, Su Ruanruan heard the steady beating of his heart.

She was quiet and still.

After a while, Bao Jingyan’s voice resonated deeply.

"My mother, when she was pregnant with Jingse, he cheated! He began not coming home at night, started going on frequent business trips, and that woman was his female secretary."

Su Ruanruan raised her small face, "Is it Bao Ziqi and Bao Jingyuan’s mother?"

He hummed softly in response.

Su Ruanruan hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Does your mother know?"

"After Bao Ziqi was born, she must have heard some rumors." Bao Jingyan lowered his head and buried his face in her shoulder, his voice hoarse, "She believed that man’s promises! Or perhaps it was her pride that kept her from choosing divorce!"

"Until Bao Jingyuan was born, that’s when she gave up, right?" Su Ruanruan took a breath.

She suddenly felt somewhat sad.

Bao Jingyan didn’t speak, just reached out to stroke her little head.

He said, "Ruanruan, if we ever have a son, well, that’s fine, but if we have a daughter, you must teach her well, understand?"

Su Ruanruan’s face turned red.

She was comforting him, and now he was playing rogue?

Su Ruanruan propped herself up, intending to turn on the light.

Bao Jingyan stopped her.

"Don’t move, just let me hold you for a while."

She had no choice but to lie back down.

After a while, she couldn’t bear it anymore.

"Bao Jingyan, my hand is numb."

"Bao Jingyan, we are still in a cold war!"

...

"Go make me a bowl of noodles to eat." He lowered his head and said gently.

Su Ruanruan nodded.

Then Bao Jingyan held her up and turned on the lights in the bedroom.

The light was soft and hazy.
