“It‘s alright, Mom. I have everything I need here,” she said.
Everyone‘s so worried about my pregnancy. Honestly, I know pregnancies are a big deal, but… I just had ser for the first time last night.
Night was starting to descend upon the city, and the servants had gone back home. Ruka felt refreshed after that nap. She was going through her skincare routine in her room. She rubbed a black mud mask all over her face, and then Ren came in without knocking.

“Why did you come in? Don‘t look at me.” She tried to cover her face. He‘s gonna fall out of love with me if he sees this side of me. Maybe he‘s gonna think badly of me.
Ren sat down beside her and looked at her face curiously. “Does this actually work?”
“I think so.” She blinked at him.
“I‘ll get someone to buy a whole set for you tomorrow. Tell me whatever you need. I‘ll give you everything you want,” he said gently. The love in his eyes was palpable.
Ruka‘s face was colored in black, but she grinned nonetheless. “I don‘t need anything but you.”
“I am already yours. Didn‘t you feel it last night?” His eyes were glinting dangerously.
Ruka was blushing, but it was not visible. She chuckled. “I did.”
“And why did you cry last night?” Ren was shocked when it happened.
“That‘s my problem, not yours,” she said awkwardly. “I was just doing it for fun.”
He chortled. Does crying make it more fun for her?
“Wash your mask away now,” he said.
She huddled closer to him, showing off her mask. “You can‘t get it up just because I‘m looking like this? Well, I guess you‘ll have to let me off the hook tonight.”
Ruka was begging for mercy.
“No. I thought you said you wanted a baby. And you‘ll have to work for it.” Ren had decided to have a baby with her.
“I was wrong.” Her face scrunched up, and she puffed her cheeks. “What if I‘m not pregnant even after a month?”
He patted her head. “It‘s alright. I‘ll explain it to them.”
“How?”
“Silas will do it. We‘ll cover it up one way or the other.” Ren was amused. He felt for her, sceing how nervous she was.
Ruka blinked. “Really? Tell Silas to do it tomorrow then. Please.”
“Why?”
“I–I wanna have some more alone time with you. I don‘t want to have a baby so soon. It‘ll get in the way of our alone time.” She could say anything she wanted and not worry about blushing thanks to her mask.
Obviously she wanted to have some more alone time with Ren.
Ren had the same idea. They were in no hurry to get a baby. He wanted to go on more dates with her too.
“Sure. I‘ll tell Silas to call my folks tomorrow and clear things up.”
Ruka nodded. Oh, the mask‘s drying up. “I‘ll have to wash the mask off now.”
Ren waited on the couch for her. She went into the bathroom and washed her mask off, revealing her fair, petite face. It was gleaming under the light. Her lips were plump, her eyes were glistening, and her hair was long and lustrous. Ruka looked like a young lady straight out of a college romance drama.
She emerged from the bathroom and looked at Ren. The black robe with gold trim looked majestic on him, but she was more attracted to his face.
Ruka hopped into his embrace and wrapped her arms around his neck. “It‘s getting late. Time to sleep.”
Ren looked at her. Ah, what an innocent lady. I wanna gobble her up. He then carried her in his arms.
“You can‘t hold me like this. That‘s gonna strain your arms.” She tried to hop off his arms in case his wound was torn again.
He looked at her and purred, “I can always hold you like I did last night. If you catch my drift.”
Her face turned red. On god. Last night was embarrassing. I refuse to think about it.
He took her back to his bedroom. Her bedroom wasn‘t hers anymore, because her new place was in his bedroom.
He was getting addicted to sleeping with her in his arms and decided to have her sleep in his bedroom from now on.
A long while later, Ruka fell asleep while holding his arm.
A glint of satisfaction swam in Ren‘s eyes.
Another day, another session of getting checked up. The wound was almost healed, but Silas still advised him to limit his sex sessions.
Ren called his mother and asked Silas to explain everything. Ruka wasn‘t pregnant; the test showed a false positive for other reasons.
Charlotte was a little disappointed, but at least she was in no hurry anymore. Well, that can wait until the wedding‘s done. It‘s time Ren gets to spend time with Ruka. At the same time, a tense undercurrent was flowing beneath the surface. As the election drew near, some people were getting panicky.
They wanted to take Ren down and make him give up on the elections.
Ren took Ruka to the living room on the second floor in the afternoon. He said, “Ruka, Richard‘s going to launch an operation tonight, and he needs your help. It‘s safe. Don‘t worry.”
“What kind of operation?”
“There‘s gonna be a performance tonight, and we‘re going together. But I have work to do, while you are going to the performance yourself.” Ren was a little nervous when he brought that up. Richard promised nothing would happen, but putting the woman he loved at risk was still worrisome.
“Is this some sort of bait? Richard‘s trying to lure the culprit out, isn‘t he?” Ruka actually made a right guess.
“Yep. It‘s a trap.”
