Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 260: Can’t Pick Up, Can’t Put Down

Su Ruanruan couldn’t leave just yet.

The old Mrs. Bao played a bit too hard, and her leg really acted up.

By the afternoon, the pain was so severe she was sweating coldly.

Su Ruanruan tended to her until four o’clock, when the old lady finally fell asleep.

She walked out of the old lady’s bedroom.

Bao Mingyuan was waiting outside, and on seeing her, he quietly pleaded, "For the old lady’s sake, stay at home for two days, at least until the old lady feels better."

Gui Zhi also joined in pleading.

Su Ruanruan thought for a moment: "I need to let my parents know."

When she mentioned "mom and dad," Bao Mingyuan paused slightly.

He had almost forgotten that Ruanruan was now a child of the Gu Family.

He gave a faint smile: "Of course."

Su Ruanruan stepped aside and made a call to the Gu Family.

Mrs. Gu answered the phone and, after hearing Su Ruanruan out, said, "The old lady has been good to you; it’s only right you take care of her for a couple of days! It’s getting cold, and your father and I will bring some clothes over."

She didn’t allow Su Ruanruan to refuse.

Su Ruanruan bit her lip and had to agree.

After Mrs. Gu hung up, she said to her husband nearby, "Ruanruan suffered so much humiliation at the Bao Family, and I heard after she left, Qi Meiyu trashed her room to bits! As parents, we need to stand up for our child."

Gu Yuanpei nodded: "You care for the children better than I do."

Mrs. Gu gave him a look.

Mr. Gu glanced at the servants, then lowered his voice: "But I know how to spoil you more."

Mrs. Gu’s cheeks flushed: "You’re incorrigible."

She went to prepare, and as she left, a fragrant breeze followed.

Gu Yuanpei suddenly pulled her back into his arms, whispering close to her ear, "These days, you’ve been sleeping with the kids each night, we haven’t had a proper moment together for a long time."

Taking advantage of the absence of others, Gu Yuanpei led his wife upstairs.

Mrs. Gu was half-resisting, half-consenting.

She said, "Why are you jealous of the children?"

Gu Yuanpei’s face was covered in a sweat of restraint, as he flirtatiously bantered with his wife, "I think it’s better we send her to stay with Jingyan; it would be convenient for us to have another brother or sister for her!"

"You’re incorrigible," Mrs. Gu mentioned flirtatiously with raised eyebrows...

Evening.

Twilight enveloped the area.

A car sound echoed through the courtyard.

The car door opened, and Bao Ziqi hopped out and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard.

He had heard that the old lady was ill and returned early to visit.

The courtyard was still the same, but Bao Ziqi keenly felt something different.

In the air, there was a faint scent of osmanthus.

He remembered this scent from Su Ruanruan.

Bao Ziqi slowed his steps.

Then, he saw a figure in light purple, delicate, sitting on the garden swing, gently swaying.

Su Ruanruan was on the phone.

Though he couldn’t hear clearly, her expression seemed slightly shy.

Bao Ziqi thought he knew who was on the other end of the call!

He didn’t approach but instead stood in place and lit a cigarette.

Su Ruanruan smelled the smoke and turned her head.

Their eyes met.

One truly indifferent, the other pretending to be calm.

Bao Ziqi walked over and stood beside her: "Here to see the old lady?"

Su Ruanruan put away her phone and nodded, "The old lady finally fell asleep; be quiet when you go to see her."

Bao Ziqi’s lips moved slightly, finally asking, "Are you getting along well with him?"

Su Ruanruan didn’t answer.

She just smiled faintly.

Bao Ziqi felt pretty foolish.

Unable to pick it up, unable to put it down.

He nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Several messages came through on Su Ruanruan’s phone.

[Are you planning to stay long in the house?]

[Spending day and night with Bao Ziqi?]

Su Ruanruan looked at them, a smile on her lips.

She texted back.

[The old lady’s leg problem flared up, I’m taking care of her for two days.]

Bao Jingyan was in City B, unable to manage her.

He ground his teeth and warned her not to speak to Bao Ziqi!
