Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 1021: Covered in Sin, Still Longing for a Trace of Pity

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Covered in Sin, Still Longing for a Trace of Pity

Yangcheng, Bao Mansion.

Early in the morning, there was an additional Yulan Tree in the yard.

Bao Jingyan looked at it for a while and asked Aunt Li, "Who sent it?"

Aunt Li found it hard to explain.

Bao Jingyan guessed it was a gift from He Jitang, and smiled faintly, "Sending a tree, quite a thoughtful gesture!"

He usually got most jealous of He Jitang.

Just one night of affection, with Su Ruanruan being so gentle... he couldn’t get angry.

Bao Jingyan looked at the workers nearby.

He said, "Plant it over by the courtyard!"

The workers sighed in relief and immediately started working...

When Su Ruanruan woke up, it was already ten in the morning.

Bao Jingyan was naturally not there.

She sat up, leaned against the headboard, and used her fingers to comb her long hair.

Thinking of the affectionate night before, sweetness filled her heart.

After a moment, Su Ruanruan put on some clothes and walked to the terrace, wanting to see if Bao Jingyan’s car was there.

But as soon as she stepped onto the terrace, her gaze froze.

There was an additional Yulan Tree in the courtyard.

The leaves were lush, with fresh soil at its roots.

This tree, Su Ruanruan had seen before.

It was the Yulan from He Jitang’s villa... how did it get moved here?

Su Ruanruan immediately went downstairs.

She found Aunt Li to ask.

Aunt Li noticed her confusion and smiled, "Don’t worry, Jingyan approved it!"

Su Ruanruan was even more puzzled.

For such a thing, why would Bao Jingyan agree?

She went back upstairs, picked up the phone to ask him, but after some thought, decided to talk to him about it later that night.

Su Ruanruan called He Jitang.

He was teaching at school and didn’t answer.

Only after his classes ended did he call back, his voice gentle, "Little sister, did you see the tree?"

Su Ruanruan replied with a sound, "Thank you, third brother."

He Jitang smiled slightly.

He said, "I thought little sister might not like it."

Su Ruanruan didn’t know how to respond.

It seemed that any response wouldn’t be quite right.

He Jitang softly said, "I always wanted to give you something, pondered everything, and felt that this tree was nice! You’re in Yangcheng, so you can see it anytime, like your third brother is there with you! But when you return to B City, then just forget it!"

For some reason, Su Ruanruan felt particularly sad.

She never liked He Jitang, even hated him at times.

But she clearly knew, he always treated her with restraint.

Noticing her nasal tone, He Jitang smiled warmly, "Why are you crying?"

Su Ruanruan shook her head.

He Jitang felt bitter, "I’m covered in sins, not worth it! But little sister, even though I’m a sinner, I still wish for a bit of your pity... Am I useless?"

"Not at all!" Su Ruanruan quickly responded.

She wanted to persuade him to turn himself in.

But He Jitang gently shook his head, "It’s too late! Little sister, I need to go back to B City to see the old lady and Ci’an, are you coming?"

For a moment, Su Ruanruan was willing to go.

Perhaps this would be He Jitang’s last reunion with the old lady and Ci’an, and she could later recount it to Ci’an... tell him not to forget his father.

But she always had to consider Bao Jingyan.

She was his wife, and Bao Jingyan was the most important person in her life.

Su Ruanruan softly declined.

He Jitang wasn’t surprised, he just sighed gently, "When I return, I’ll treat you to tea!"

Su Ruanruan agreed!

After hanging up, she felt uneasy.

Just then, something happened at the hospital, and Su Minghua called her over.

After a day of busyness, she felt a bit better.

Coming back in the evening and seeing that Yulan Tree again, she stood beneath it for a moment.

Bao Jingyan had just returned as well.

He walked out from the hall, standing beside her.

Su Ruanruan turned her head to look at him.

Bao Jingyan gently held her hand and softly said, "If the day comes when He Jitang doesn’t turn out well, Ruanruan, you mustn’t be sad for too long."

Su Ruanruan quietly looked at him.

Bao Jingyan gently pulled her.

She leaned into his embrace.

Her thin figure fit perfectly within his arms.

Bao Jingyan lowered his head, kissed his wife’s hair, and softly said, "Even though you were with me since you were 18, I know it was partly due to my coercion! If it weren’t for me, and if He Jitang didn’t have such a messy past, he, being so talented, would be your ideal person, wouldn’t he?"

His words were not a sign of insecurity, but rather a statement.

Su Ruanruan turned around, gently embracing his waist.

She softly said, "Bao Jingyan, why are you so generous and sentimental now? Could it be because you’re getting older?"

Bao Jingyan chuckled.

He lowered his head, rested it against her forehead, and said huskily, "You just ruined the good atmosphere!"

Su Ruanruan’s cheek pressed against his chest.

She said, "Bao Jingyan, there won’t be anyone else!"

She continued, "Third brother is indeed talented, but he might not be for me! Do you remember when I was 18, at that family banquet, you were the only one by my side, only you trusted and cared for me! There’s no other Bao Jingyan in the world! No matter how good others are, they aren’t you."

Bao Jingyan’s heart trembled.

He admitted, he was indeed jealous.

But he didn’t want to appear petty, like a jealous husband!

So, he planted this Yulan Tree.

Ruanruan’s words made his heart waver even more.

Su Ruanruan left his embrace, stood beside him, and intertwined her fingers with his.

She gently said, "In the future, when we return to B City and Ci’an grows older, let’s bring him here to see this Yulan, and tell him that it was his father who planted it, a man of talent."

Bao Jingyan’s heart softened.

He hugged his wife, kissing her hair...
