Bao Ye chuckled lightly, his sharp face wearing a faint smile. Seeing her fair and delicate feet exposed, he reached out to pinch them and teased, "It’s not like I haven’t seen them before, what are you so shy about?"

"It’s not the same," Jiang Ruan quickly pulled her feet back. It was indeed stuffy under the nket, and with a flushed face, she yanked the light quilt off, her small face puffed up: "You can’t just leave me there like that."

Bao Ye: "I’m afraid you’ll fall."

"But it’s a toilet!" Jiang Ruan countered, "How could I fall?"

Utter nonsense.

He was just doing it on purpose, deliberately watching her look embarrassed.

Old Bo was scheming, she definitely could guess that.

With her staring at him, Bao Ye cleared his throat and said, "Fine, if you go againter, I’ll put you there."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

"Do you want to wash up? Shall I carry you there?" Bao Ye asked thoughtfully.

Only then did Jiang Ruan remember she hadn’t washed up yet. Her knee hurt badly and she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to walk over.

He was happy to be bossed around by her.

So she wouldn’t hold back.

"Alright then."

So, Jiang Ruan moved to the edge of the bed, cleared her throat, and mimicking an online joke, she spoke in a cutesy voice: "Please carry your princess for the wash-up."

She was putting on this deliberately affected and sweet demeanor.

Bao Yeughed in exasperation, indulging her, and walked over, bending down to pick her up.

The scent of his cologne immediately wafted into Jiang Ruan’s nose; his arms were especially strong, carrying her with ease.

Bao Ye carried her to the bathroom, ced her on the washstand, and even thoughtfully squeezed toothpaste for her.

"Here you go," he handed it to her, a smile on his lips: "Princess."

Jiang Ruan’s hand trembled as she took the toothbrush.

Why did his smile seem so mischievous?

She pouted and chose to ignore it.

"Thank you."

Taking the toothbrush, she continued brushing her teeth.

After finishing up, Jiang Ruan came out and saw Bao Ye instructing the servants to bring the prepared brunch into the room.

Jiang Ruan watched the servants and was surprised: "When did you ask them to make this?"

Bao Ye was working and turned his head to nce at her, replying, "Two hours ago."

"Thinking you might be hungry when you wake up, I kept it warm in the box."

"Oh."

He really was quite thoughtful.

The table quickly became filled.

Eight dishes and one soup.

All were Jiang Ruan’s favorites.

The aromas quickly wafted towards her, and she smelled the tangy sweetness of the sweet and sour pork.

Jiang Ruan hardly ate yesterday, and now, smelling the fragrance, her stomach couldn’t help but start growling.

The sound was quite loud, and Bao Ye heard it too.

Bao Ye turned his head, seeing her small face blush as she looked at him, she said, "I’m hungry."

"Could you take a break and have something to eat with me?"

Jiang Ruan held onto his arm and said, "Eating alone is so boring."

Hearing this, Bao Ye pondered for two seconds: "Give me one minute."

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

She saw his beautifully defined hands typing on the keyboard, as if he was chatting with someone.

Jiang Ruan sat beside him and leaned over to take a peek.

It was all in English.

Her English wasn’t very good; she could only understand certain words.

It seemed like they were discussing finance and the stock market.

Jiang Ruan kept an eye on the time.

Soon, a minute passed.

But she didn’t disturb him. Although she was hungry, he was busy, and a few minutes of mealtime wouldn’t make much difference.

She was just about to pick up her phone to y a bit when she heard the sound of theputer closing beside her.

Bao Ye said, "Let’s go, eat."

Jiang Ruan was stunned: "You finished your work?"

"Actually, I’m not very hungry either, so if you’re busy, you can..." I’ll start eating.
