Bao Jingyan, visibly moved by her soft and delicate demeanor, couldn’t help but drag her out from under the covers and held her close to kiss... Having spent a lot of time with him, Su Ruanruan understood his temper well. Refusing his kiss could lead to a more intense reaction, so she simply relaxed in his arms and let him take what he wanted.
After a while, Bao Jingyan finally let her go, "Alright, time to sleep."
Su Ruanruan’s cheeks were red as she hurriedly closed her eyes.
Bao Jingyan smiled briefly and walked out, closing the door behind him.
He headed straight for the office; there was an important meeting scheduled for this morning, but upon reaching the meeting room, he was surprised to find Bao Mingyuan hadn’t arrived.
Bao Jingyan asked Secretary Gao, "Why hasn’t President Bao arrived yet?"
Secretary Gao smiled, "President Bao called to say there was a situation at home and asked you, Young President Bao, to preside over today’s meeting."
Bao Jingyan gave her a look.
Secretary Gao shivered, not daring to say more.
Meanwhile, the Bao Mansion had a distinguished visitor.
Early in the morning, a servant stumbled over, "Sir, there is a visitor."
Bao Mingyuan frowned, "Who is it? How did you let them in?"
The servant, out of breath, replied, "A line of cars arrived at the gate. I counted at least more than ten. I went to ask who it was, and only then did I find out it was Mu Jiu."
Bao Mingyuan narrowed his eyes.
Mu Qun, ranked ninth.
He owned most of the entertainment venues in Jiang City, both overt and covert, and had a significant entertainment company under his name. Anyone wishing to do business in Jiang City had to pay their respects at Mu Jiu’s docks first; he was definitely a big shot in town.
This distinguished guest’s arrival surprised Bao Mingyuan.
Because both professionally and personally, the Bao Family had no connection with Mu Jiu.
After pondering for a while, Bao Mingyuan decided to meet this famous figure in person.
A tall, slim figure entered the hall.
Mu Qun was in his early thirties, with an elegant demeanor and striking features.
But having built his empire from scratch at a young age involving many bloody deeds, there remained a trace of ruthlessness in his expression that couldn’t be washed away.
The hall was filled with expensive gifts.
Bao Mingyuan, astonished, asked, "Mu Jiu, what is all this about?"
Mu Qun politely replied to Bao Mingyuan, "My apologies for the intrusion today! I hope Mr. Bao can forgive me."
After seating him and serving tea, Bao Mingyuan asked directly, "Please speak your mind."
Mu Qun cleared his throat, "I have an audacious request. I wish to propose to the young lady of your house."
Bao Mingyuan was taken aback.
He thought Mu Qun was just paying a visit, but here he was, making a serious request.
Calculating the ages, he assumed it was about Bao Jingse, "You should know about Jingse’s temperament... I’m afraid I can’t make this decision for her. You better talk to Jingyan."
He added with a smile, "Besides, arranged marriages aren’t really in vogue now, people prefer love marriages."
He felt he had refused tactfully, but Mu Qun said, "It’s not Jingse."
Bao Mingyuan frowned, "Not Jingse? Could it be Jingyuan?"
Just then, a voice came from the second floor, "I refuse to marry."
Bao Mingyuan and Mu Qun both looked towards the second floor.
On the stairs stood Bao Jingyuan and Bao Ziqi.
As Bao Jingyuan spoke, she ran downstairs and clung to Bao Mingyuan’s arm, shaking it gently, "Dad, I won’t marry!"
She spoke recklessly, young and unaware of the extent of her words: "I like someone like Professor Su, not those who are involved in violence all the time! How could he possibly be a match for me!"
"Jingyuan!" Bao Mingyuan exclaimed angrily, "Apologize to Mu Jiu."
Bao Jingyuan, leveraging her family’s influence, scoffed, "I certainly will not apologize! Who does he think he is, bringing gifts and thinking to marry me without even asking if I am willing or not?"
