Su Ruanruan blushed furiously.
She admonished softly, "You're so reckless, even outside."
Bao Jingyan was being a bit cheeky; he pinched her waist and teased her, "Clearly, I'm being gentle."
Su Ruanruan decided not to pay him any mind.
Just then Aunt Li brought breakfast over, prompting Bao Jingyan to drop the jokes and seriously discuss matters.
Su Ruanruan inquired, "Is the project short on funds recently?"
Bao Jingyan didn't hide anything.
He replied, "If it's just building houses, it wouldn't require much money. But if we take over all these Alchemy Factories, there are costs everywhere for education, healthcare, employment, and housing."
Su Ruanruan sympathized with him deeply.
Yet, she didn't concede verbally. Instead, she said, "Turns out your so-called standing up for me was a ruse to find ways for me to raise money for you."
Bao Jingyan took her little hand and gave it a kiss.
He claimed she was heartless.
