Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 921: Examination—How Did This Happen?

Chapter 921: Chapter 921: Examination—How Did This Happen?

As the words fell, a delicate young girl walked in at the doorway.

It was Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu entered with a face full of displeasure, plopping herself down beside Zhou Huo.

The woman named Hua Si instantly took the hint, stood up, and moved to a more distant spot.

Zhou Yu ignored her, wrapping her arms around Zhou Huo’s arm and said, "Brother, you promised to meet my savior for a coffee, I even booked the place and you were nowhere to be seen."

Zhou Huo lazily said, "Brother has serious business to attend to! Unlike you, who are idle every day."

Zhou Yu was unhappy, "I almost got harassed, and someone saved me! Brother, you don’t care about me at all."

Her eyes shifted, glancing at Hua Si, then she deliberately said, "My savior is truly a beauty! Far prettier than all the women my brother is keeping."

Zhou Huo patted her hand, "Watch your mouth!"

Zhou Yu became even more upset: her brother was so fierce.

Seeing his sister genuinely angry, this iron-blooded man Zhou Huo actually lowered himself to gently comfort her.

With Zhou Yu coaxed, her mood improved.

She said, "It’s okay, my savior is busy and can’t come anyway! I forgive you, brother."

Zhou Huo pinched her nose, "Naughty!"

Zhou Yu got up, running upstairs like a butterfly.

Soon, a voice floated down from the second floor, "Then I’ll arrange it with her for next time, brother, you can’t break your promise again."

Zhou Huo shook his head and laughed, apologizing to Chen Xishan, "I’ve spoiled her since she was little! No sense of decorum."

Chen Xishan was inwardly displeased.

Miss Zhou didn’t even glance her way when she walked in, which was quite impolite.

But she feigned a magnanimous demeanor, "Miss Zhou is innocent and lively."

Zhou Huo, adoring his sister, said to Hua Si, "Go check on her, make sure she doesn’t get involved with unsavory people."

Hua Si smiled softly and ascended the stairs in a swaying manner.

Though Zhou Yu treated her coldly, Hua Si did not take offense, having been with Zhou Huo since she was 18.

She loved him deeply, title or not, it didn’t matter.

...

Meanwhile, Su Ruanruan had returned to the house with Qin Chao.

Indeed, Qin Chao did not mention Zhou Huo at all.

However, later when Su Ruanruan was freshening up, Bao Jingyan noticed the bruise.

He always cherished her smooth skin, and now he looked both distressed and regretful, "How did this happen?"

He gently tugged her, and she settled in his arms.

Su Ruanruan didn’t want him to worry.

She lied, "I accidentally bumped into something."

Bao Jingyan’s gaze was intense as he looked at the young girl he had raised.

Su Ruanruan blinked lightly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bao Jingyan had his ways of dealing with her. He grabbed her hand, then in a low, deep voice asked, "Tell the truth, hmm?"

Su Ruanruan lightly bit her lip, unable to resist leaning on his shoulder, her voice coquettish, "Bao Jingyan, you’re interrogating me."

He carelessly hummed in response.

Reaching for the ointment, he gently applied it to her.

Su Ruanruan, fearing he would ask more, intentionally teased him, her manner somewhat fragile... How could Bao Jingyan resist?

In no time, she was in the palm of his hand, being tenderly cherished by him.

After possessing her body, Bao Jingyan didn’t press her further, instead letting her nap.

After showering, he went downstairs to find Qin Chao.

At a glance, Qin Chao guessed he was there about Su Ruanruan’s injury and braced himself to say nothing.

But Bao Jingyan didn’t ask.

He brought out a bottle of champagne, inviting Qin Chao to drink with him.

Qin Chao was both flattered and fearful.

He couldn’t hold his liquor!

Once drunk, he speaks nonsense and is capable of anything.

Bao Jingyan handed him a glass.

Qin Chao capitulated, "President Bao, I have work for Miss Su tomorrow..."

Bao Jingyan drank half his glass, his gaze piercing, "Do you want me to ask, or shall our Ninth Lord inquire... He isn’t as gentle as I am."

Thinking of the Ninth Lord’s heavy hand, Qin Chao shuddered.

Recalling the methods Bao Jingyan used to torment him back then, his knees buckled, and without any backbone, he confessed everything.

Bao Jingyan listened, sipping his champagne leisurely.

Only his tongue pressed against his molars, smiling faintly.

Zhou Huo... is it!
