It was dawning faintly.
Su Ruanruan got up.
She and Bao Jingyan stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
She was tying his necktie.
Once done, she looked up and said gently, "Let's split up! You secure Jingse's position at Emperor Views, and I'll take care of her illness."
She was gentle and wise.
A lump formed in Bao Jingyan's throat, he hummed in agreement.
Ultimately unable to part with her, he lowered his head and lightly pecked her lips.
"I'll go to the small courtyard first," Su Ruanruan spoke softly, "Now is not a good time to go public."
Bao Jingyan let go of her.
Su Ruanruan quietly returned to the small courtyard, while Bao Jingyan went to check on Jingse's bedroom.
About an hour later,
There was a stir in the Bao Family.
Su Ruanruan helped the old lady to the main house, the old lady was crying sadly.
"How could Jingse be so thoughtless! It has been so long already."
