Yuan Zhao found that he could see Rong Ruo less and less clearly.

She knew why Rongruo stayed: it was because her father and brothers couldn't bear to part with her.

During dinner that evening, his father and brothers, knowing about Rongruo's injury, stopped forcing him to drink and softened their attitude towards him considerably because of what happened at noon.

The meal was quite enjoyable.

As he was leaving, Yuan's father said to Rongruo:

"Please keep the adoption and child-rearing matters in mind. Take your time, don't rush, and choose someone with good character."

Rong Ruo was taken aback, glanced at Yuan Zhao, and then said:

"Yes, Father."

Seeing that he was so agreeable, Yuan's father didn't say anything more.

Yuan Zhao had seen everything, and only after getting into the carriage did he speak:

"I had no idea that the Chief Supervisor possessed such abilities."

Despite their previous dislike of Rong Ruo, their opinions of him have changed considerably after today.

It seems there is no one in this world that Rong Ruo cannot please.

Yes, to please!

Rong Ruo was definitely trying to please his father and brothers. She had seen his attitude towards the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and it was not like that.

On the contrary, the two of them seemed to be subtly trying to please him.

As for why Rongruo wanted to please his own father and brothers, Yuanzhao didn't think too deeply about it.

Rong Ruo was not annoyed by her teasing.

The Rong family is worth it for him to do this.

That night, the two shared a bed again, but Yuan Zhao's state of mind was different from before.

Logically speaking, she and Rong Ruo had slept together countless times, so this shouldn't be the case, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Rong Ruo no longer exuded the same icy aura as before; his body had regained some warmth, which was particularly noticeable in the early summer.

She didn't know if she had disturbed Rong Ruo, or if Rong Ruo had been resting at the Yuan family's house that afternoon, but as soon as she turned over, she heard a voice say:

Can't sleep?

Before Yuan Zhao could answer, a large hand gripped her waist and pulled her towards him.

Yuan Zhao was caught off guard and pressed against a hard chest.

She froze completely.

If she had looked closer, she would have noticed that their bodies were not actually fully joined. Rong Ruo's lower body was separate from hers; only their upper bodies were pressed together without a gap.

Rong Ruo didn't stop there; his large hands roamed over Yuan Zhao's body.

From the shoulders to the sensitive waist, and then gradually upwards.

Yuan Zhao's heartbeat gradually quickened; at this moment, she felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

As Rong Ruo's large hand slowly moved forward, Yuan Zhao finally couldn't resist and moved forward, escaping Rong Ruo's clutches.

"Master, I'm going to sleep."

After Yuan Zhao finished speaking, he quickly closed his eyes, and even his breathing became steady.

The marks that appeared on her body earlier indicated that Rong Ruo had done even more outrageous things, but those were all when she was unconscious.

This was the first time the two of them had been so intimate while both were fully conscious.

She couldn't accept it.

Although she adjusted her breathing, she didn't fall asleep; she was simply facing the situation with an ostrich-like mentality.

If Rong Ruo insisted on forcing her, she would have no way to stop him.

However, Rong Ruo never attacked her again.

She didn't even know how she fell asleep later on.

She woke up to find it was already dawn the next day. The first thing she did upon opening her eyes was to sit up quickly and then lift her clothes.

She breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that there were no new marks on her body.

However, this is not a long-term solution. How will she face Rong Ruo in the future?
