Chapter 833: Sweet! Forget About Your Discipline 2
Bao Jingyan sat down beside her.Seeing that it was him, Su Ruanruan placed her calves on his lap coquettishly and said softly, "You’re back?"
Bao Jingyan carefully attended to her, feeding her soup.
He asked, "Who did you drink with? You rarely touch alcohol."
Su Ruanruan leaned against the sofa.
Her long hair draped over her, exuding a delicate and fragile beauty.
She smiled faintly, "Went to Sister Zhou’s house, felt happy and had a couple of drinks."
Bao Jingyan didn’t object.
In Yangcheng, Ruanruan had no relatives, so with Mrs. Zhou looking after her, he was glad and welcomed her interactions with the Zhou family.
Su Ruanruan savored this moment of intimacy.
She gently spoke of the day’s events and asked about the Xu family’s land.
Bao Jingyan felt touched, murmuring, "You’re running around for me!"
Su Ruanruan covered his lips.
She whispered, "What nonsense! You’re not doing this for yourself. You’re fighting alone, and as your wife, I naturally have to help you! Besides, there are so many poor souls like Bing’er, how can I sit idly at home benefiting as a lady of leisure?"
Bao Jingyan lifted her entirely into his embrace.
He teased her, "You’ve grown up! You’re spouting big philosophies! So young yet so mature, what should we do about that?"
Su Ruanruan played coy, lightly biting her lip, "Impertinent!"
Bao Jingyan laughed, sharing with her what Aunt Li mentioned earlier.
He softly murmured, "Clearly, you benefited from me, but Aunt Li insists I’m taking advantage of you! My dear wife, you need to clarify this for me in front of Aunt Li."
Su Ruanruan was both shy and annoyed.
She hit him.
Her small hand was caught in his palm, gently kneading...
His eyes held that particular intent, and Su Ruanruan fell silent, softly lowering her eyes, "I’m happy when you’re like this!"
Bao Jingyan leaned in to kiss her, indulging in affection.

A couple of days later.
The Xu Family in Yangcheng hosted a banquet for their daughter’s engagement.
Su Ruanruan attended with Bao Jingyan, intending to probe the young madam of the Huo Family to see if she truly had any skills.
The Xu Family was a new elite family.
European-style villa, buffet-style banquet, the ladies and daughters wore Western-style dresses.
As soon as Su Ruanruan entered, she saw the Huo Family members.
The second madam of the Huo Family was speaking to a beautiful young girl, with the grand young madam quietly accompanying her.
The young madam of the Huo Family gave a glance.
Su Ruanruan guessed that the young girl must be the Xu family’s daughter.
The Xu family’s daughter acted close with the second madam, clearly having a good relationship!
Indeed.
While Mr. Xu entertained guests, he also valued the second madam of the Huo Family, and it was evident that the land was practically secured for her, leaving others in her dust.
The entire banquet was almost solely for Mrs. Xishan.
Su Ruanruan remained patient.
She waited quietly, and sure enough, the young madam of the Huo Family took an opportunity to approach: "Miss Su!"
Su Ruanruan smiled, "Grand young madam."
She appraised the grand young madam, then smiled, "You seem more understated than usual at this banquet."
The young madam of the Huo Family looked towards Chen Xishan in the distance and said blandly, "Mrs. Xishan loves being the center of attention, so I wouldn’t dare steal her spotlight!"
Su Ruanruan realized: the grand young madam was not living comfortably, and Mrs. Xishan truly had her methods of subtle torment.
The young madam of the Huo Family hid her sorrow.
She slightly smiled, "Miss Su, do you know why the Xu Family values Chen Xishan so much?"
Su Ruanruan humbly sought her wisdom.
The young madam pointed to a young man, "See him? He’s Miss Xu’s fiancé! A wealthy man from the North. The Northern family is very traditional, and this marriage is a considerable climb for the Xu Family, so they’re naturally going all out to accommodate the Northern-style wedding! Chen Xishan catered to their preferences by hiring the best Southern tailor to make a splendid wedding garment for Miss Xu, hence their close ties!"
