Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Recognizing Relatives 3

He and Gu Yuanpei had a few drinks, and then Gu Ze came over again.

He insisted on competing in drinking with him.

Su Ruanruan tugged at Bao Jingyan’s sleeve.

Bao Jingyan smiled reassuringly, casually taking the glass in front of Su Ruanruan and pouring clear liquor into it.

Gu Ze filled his own glass to the brim as well.

The two men faced each other and downed a glass.

It was eerily quiet around them, and Mrs. Gu was displeased, "Gu Ze, don’t make things difficult for Jingyan; he drove here."

After finishing a glass, Gu Ze, holding the bottom of his cup, then said, "Mom, do you know why I’m having this drink with him?"

Mrs. Gu was helpless.

Ruanruan was only 18, and indeed, it was somewhat hard to accept that Bao Jingyan monopolized her, but looking through Jiang City, there wasn’t a second Bao Jingyan to be found.

With things as they were, what could be done?

After Gu Ze finished speaking, he patted Bao Jingyan on the shoulder: "Got guts, want to take it outside?"

Su Ruanruan felt something was off; she tried to stand up.

Bao Jingyan extended his hand gently pressing on her shoulder, his voice was ever so gentle, even with a hint of coddling a child: "I’ll step out for a moment."

It was Mrs. Gu who called out, "Gu Ze."

Gu Ze had drunk a bit too much, his complexion frosty: "Mom, are you saying he shouldn’t step out for a moment?"

Mrs. Gu wanted to stop them, but Gu Yuanpei stopped her: "Let them go! It’s not certain who will be at a disadvantage."

His own son was nearly drunk to the floor; not being beaten up by Bao Jingyan until he was spitting out teeth was already lucky.

His guess wasn’t wrong; the two men, nearly sixty when combined, returned after ten minutes, with colors on their faces and clothes no longer as clean and tidy as before.

Su Ruanruan felt uneasy.

But the relatives and friends of the Gu and Lin families acted as if nothing happened, warmly inviting "Jingyan, come and eat."

Su Ruanruan was confused.

It wasn’t until the merriment went on till midnight that Bao Jingyan took her away.

Mrs. Gu was naturally reluctant to let go, and Mr. Gu, draping an arm over her shoulder, gently said: "There is plenty of time ahead."

Only then did Mrs. Gu let go.

Upon getting into the car, Su Ruanruan felt uneasy: "It’s so late."

Bao Jingyan pulled her close to him, with his eyes slightly closed, he caressed her delicate face, and murmured hoarsely: "Aunt Gu had already called earlier, saying you would stay overnight at the Gu’s."

Su Ruanruan bit her tender lip, asking him: "Why did you and Gu Ze fight?"

"Why do you think?" Bao Jingyan lightly laughed as he counterquestioned.

Su Ruanruan was livid, punching him.

Bao Jingyan let out a muffled grunt.

She suddenly grew nervous: "Are you injured too?"

She wanted to reach out, but he grabbed her hand, his voice huskily: "We’ll check when we get back!"

He added: "Such a girly girl, touching and wanting to undo my clothes, aren’t you ashamed?"

The driver from the Gu Family in the front started to chuckle.

Su Ruanruan was even more irritated, turning her head away, planning to ignore him.

Bao Jingyan held her hand, rubbing it in his palm, laughing softly: "Stop it, let me rest for a while."

Su Ruanruan had no choice but to quiet down.

Inside the dimly lit car, he smelled faintly of alcohol and his body temperature was high; after a while, Su Ruanruan grew restless, but he woke up and instead pulled her into his embrace.

Su Ruanruan had never been this close to him in front of others, she stiffened awkwardly.

He lowered his head to kiss her, whispering softly, "Why don’t you ever listen?"

Su Ruanruan intended to retort, but in his arms, she felt as if she would melt, utterly beguiled, her small hands clinging onto his shoulders, calling out his name like a kitten: "Bao Jingyan."

Bao Jingyan, with heated passion, kissed her gently, his voice gravelly.

"No, you’re still too young."
