Chapter 831: No One Is More Devious Than You!
Su Ruanruan smiled lightly, "Why would Third Brother ask that?"He Jitang calmed down, and upon thinking about it, realized it was impossible.
She and Bao Jingyan had been apart for four months and only recently got back together; it couldn’t be that fast.
He felt a bit better and wanted to invite her for coffee.
Su Ruanruan declined.
She said, "I want to buy some children’s clothes for Mrs. Zhou; she’s pregnant."
He Jitang initially wanted to propose going with her, but seeing Su Ruanruan’s distant attitude, he gave up and smiled lightly, "Then next time."
He thought for a moment and then said, "Come by home when you have time to pick something up... Ci’an really wants to see you too."
Su Ruanruan acknowledged with a sound.
At this moment, a young secretary came over and handed a document to He Jitang for signing.
Su Ruanruan then took her leave.
As she walked away, He Jitang looked at her back for a long while.
The secretary smiled, "That’s Miss Su, right?"
He Jitang closed the document and casually replied, "Talkative!"
But those two words carried a hint of joyful serendipity.
...
Su Ruanruan carefully selected a few sets of baby clothes and also bought a set of baby care products.
Upon arriving at the Zhou Family, Duonian personally greeted her.
Duonian respectfully said, "Mrs. Zhou has been waiting for Miss Su for quite a while, always hoping."
As he spoke, he took the gifts from Su Ruanruan’s hands.
Su Ruanruan asked with concern, "Has Sister Zhou been sleeping better lately?"
Duonian smiled, "Mrs. Zhou hasn’t been sleeping well, so Mr. Zhou has been accompanying her every night, and these past few days have been better."
Su Ruanruan smiled.
Upon seeing Mrs. Zhou, she teased her, "You’re more precious now that you’re pregnant! I heard from Duonian that Brother Zhou coaxes you to sleep every night."
The Zhou Family’s setup was luxurious and understated.
Mrs. Zhou reclined on a rosewood chair and had a young maid brew tea for Su Ruanruan.
She feigned anger, "I prepared your favorite fragrant tea early, and here you come teasing me, making my efforts to please you go to waste, leaving me heartbroken!"
Su Ruanruan promptly apologized.
The two of them exchanged playful banter, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Mrs. Zhou instructed Duonian, "Call Mr. Zhou and tell him to come home early for dinner because Miss Su is here."
Duonian immediately went to do so.
Su Ruanruan praised, "Sister Zhou, your life is really great! Brother Zhou treats you well, and Duonian is very capable."
Mrs. Zhou drank the calming tea,
she cast a sidelong glance at Su Ruanruan, "I heard that you and your husband have reunited recently, living like honey and oil! And here you are teasing us old married couples."
Su Ruanruan conceded and played coy.
Mrs. Zhou then asked about the porridge-stirring incident, worried she might have suffered a loss.
Su Ruanruan smiled faintly.
She said, "It was intentional that day."
Feeling close to Mrs. Zhou, she recounted her strategy to her.
After listening, Mrs. Zhou couldn’t help but praise her.
She said, "Your move is truly clever! Pretending to be weak to let Chen Xishan lower his guard, and then luring the grand young madam of the Huo Family to be used by you."
Mrs. Zhou extended a slender finger to poke Su Ruanruan on the forehead, "How did your little brain grow to hold so many ideas!"
She was more than ten years older than Su Ruanruan, to whom Su Ruanruan naturally acted playfully.
Mrs. Zhou wrapped an arm around her shoulders and whispered to her, "The grand young madam of the Huo Family can be used, but use her judiciously; neither of the two young madams of the Huo Family is simple."
Su Ruanruan intended to make her happy.
She said, "Sister Zhou doesn’t have that mind; they can’t compare to Sister Zhou."
Mrs. Zhou was about to speak when a hearty voice sounded at the door.
"When it comes to scheming, who can compare to you!"
As the words fell, Mr. Zhou strode in.
He first gave his wife a gentle kiss, then stood straight and spoke to Su Ruanruan, "No one is as cunning as you!"
