Chapter 617: Chapter 617

Su Ruanruan got up lightly.

Bao Jingyan suddenly caught her arm and dragged her back.

He protested in a low voice: "Getting up so early? Don’t your muscles ache?"

She whispered: "Stop it, we have guests at home. It’ll be embarrassing if I get up too late."

Bao Jingyan felt sorry for her.

He said: "I’ll take care of it. You sleep a little longer."

But Su Ruanruan disagreed, she said gently: "I know your intention! Today is special, let me take care of it."

She also whispered softly: "Bao Jingyan, you know how much I value appearance!"

Her cohabitation with him was already beyond the bounds of propriety.

If she didn’t assert herself, how could she command respect?

Bao Jingyan got up with her after she finished speaking.

Su Ruanruan also felt sorry for him.

Last night, he had been quite... busy.

Despite the battle, Bao Jingyan was spirited and refreshed.

He pinched her cheek and said: "What kind of man would I be to let a woman take the lead?"

Su Ruanruan then agreed.

At dawn, the Bao Mansion was lively with activity.

Su Ruanruan directed the servants.

Those who cleaned and those who prepared breakfast.

Anran was sick, so she personally made a basket of custard piggy buns for her.

Each bun was white and plump and pretty.

Bao Jingyan came back from his run.

He saw her busy in the kitchen.

With her long hair braided into a herringbone and wearing a floral dress,

she was a spitting image of her at 18.

He felt a stir in his heart and leaned close to her ear: "What have you made? It smells delicious?"

He asked about the food but stole a kiss.

Su Ruanruan’s face turned red, and she whispered: "Behave yourself!"

Bao Jingyan wrapped one arm around her waist. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel·fire·net

He said with a husky voice: "What is there to fear in our own home?"

Su Ruanruan gave him a reproachful look.

She lightly said: "Never mind the servants coming and going, even with guests in the house, you should be careful."

She reasoned with him: "Bao Jingyan, you need to respect me."

Bao Jingyan went to close the kitchen door, then came back and lifted her onto the counter.

He flirtatiously said: "Now that it’s just us, Miss Su, may I have the honor?"

He was in a good mood, quite keen on teasing her.

Su Ruanruan couldn’t handle it.

She looked up, her voice breaking as she started to scold him again: "Bao Jingyan, you really can’t change your bad habits! You shouldn’t... it’s embarrassing!"

"I am kissing my own wife. Whoever wants to laugh can laugh."

He finally got his way, thoroughly teasing her.

Fortunately, he always kept it within limits.

After a while, Su Ruanruan leaned on his shoulder, murmuring: "You’re a bandit!"

"I only rob you." He chuckled softly.

Then he teased her again: "Straighten yourself up, otherwise, it won’t look good when your aunt and the others see you!"

Su Ruanruan gave him a glance.

But then she was sweet as honey!

She straightened her clothes, saying: "I’ve ruined my reputation for a lifetime because of you."

Bao Jingyan took a cup of milk from the fridge.

While warming it up, he said: "Whose hands would you rather ruin it in?"

Su Ruanruan’s face turned red.

She washed her hands and arranged the breakfast.

At that moment, a household servant came and said: "Old Mrs. Sun’s legs are troubling her, Mr. Sun has asked Miss Su to take a look."

Su Ruanruan was surprised.

She said: "Didn’t we put a hot water bag on them last night? Why is it still not better?"

She wondered if Old Mrs. Sun didn’t accept her gesture and therefore didn’t use it, which caused the leg pain.

Regardless, she went with Bao Jingyan to check.

Sun Jingan was anxious, saying: "The weather isn’t that cold, and there’s heating in the bedroom, how could this happen?"

Jing’an’s wife is dutiful, massaging her mother-in-law’s legs!

When Su Ruanruan came, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Ruanruan, please have a look quickly."

Su Ruanruan smiled and said okay.

Old Mrs. Sun, however, said uncomfortably: "I am fine! No need to look."

Sun Jingan thought his mother was still not yielding.

He persuaded: "Ruanruan is an excellent doctor, let her take a look! You can’t keep your distance from her anymore, she is Jingyan’s wife now."

Old Mrs. Sun’s face turned red.

She extended her leg out of the pant leg.

Indeed, it wasn’t pretense, her leg was quite swollen.

Su Ruanruan was taken aback.

Because at one glance she could tell, this pain was not from the cold.

It looked more like it was caused by a deliberate hit!

In the Bao Mansion, only she herself could have hurt Old Mrs. Sun.

Su Ruanruan’s gaze changed slightly.

Could it be, Old Mrs. Sun had some mental issues?
