He cracked a slight smile and asked deliberately, "Ziqi, when do you plan to get engaged?"
Bao Ziqi hooked up a cold smile: "It seems that big brother is very concerned?"
"We’re brothers, isn’t it normal to care?" Bao Jingyan raised his coffee cup and sipped it with a smile.
His eyes were full of provocation.
Bao Ziqi got so angry that he pushed his chair back, intending to leave.
Bao Mingyuan said in a calm voice, "Your brother cares about you! This is not only about the Bao Family’s reputation but also your own! If you abandon Qionglin after leading her on, will the reporters let you off? Your art career in this country would be over."
Bao Ziqi was unfazed: "You already have an excellent eldest son."
Mrs. Bao trembled: "Ziqi!"
Bao Ziqi clenched his fist but eventually sat down.
But suddenly, he turned his head to look at Su Ruanruan: "You must be pleased, right?"
Before Su Ruanruan could speak, Bao Mingyuan exploded: "You share a bed with Qionglin, what does it have to do with Ruanruan? Is it Ruanruan who forced you to sleep with her older sister?"
Setting other things aside, in Bao Mingyuan’s heart, Su Ruanruan was just an innocent little fairy.
What does she know about sleeping, what would she understand?
Back then, Weilian was also clueless, blushing from a mere kiss.
Bao Mingyuan, reminded of the past, softened his gaze and unexpectedly said to Su Ruanruan: "Stay at home with ease. It doesn’t matter if Ziqi and Qionglin get married; let the old lady legally adopt you, and you won’t miss out on your share after the old lady passes away."
Mrs. Bao was shocked.
Was her husband treating Su Ruanruan like his own daughter?
What she didn’t know was that Bao Mingyuan had his own plans, seeing that Jingyan was unequivocally interested in Ruanruan, he decided to make her part of the Bao Family so Jingyan wouldn’t be able to lay a hand on her.
Yet, he didn’t know that the person he was so wary of had already shared a bed with her.
Bao Mingyuan then said to Bao Ziqi: "I don’t care whether you’re happy or not, just get engaged quietly."
Bao Ziqi’s face was tense, and he didn’t say anything.
After breakfast, Su Ruanruan was stopped by Mrs. Bao.
"Do you need me for something, madam?" In the upstairs living room, Su Ruanruan was polite.
Mrs. Bao could sense the distance in her voice.
She didn’t mind it and said, "Qionglin has suggested that you be the maid of honor on the engagement day, Ruanruan, you have no objections, right?"
Su Ruanruan didn’t want to offend Mrs. Bao, so she agreed: "I have no problem."
Mrs. Bao seemed a bit surprised but said nothing and let Su Ruanruan leave.
After she left, Mrs. Bao felt inexplicably irritable.
Last night, Su Yugu secretly told her that the drug had some serious issues in clinical trials and urged her to find a solution quickly.
She instructed Su Yugu to stabilize everything as best as he could.
She thought, as long as Empirical View couldn’t make it, Yanning Pharmaceutical’s drug would still be the first choice.
So at this moment, she needed Su Yugu.
As for Su Ruanruan, she never expected her to develop any drug; it was clearly just the old woman from home using Su Ruanruan to suppress her own ambitions...
Su Ruanruan closed the door.
She speculated: It seems Qionglin wants to make a fool of me at the engagement party.
She wasn’t afraid of Qionglin’s little schemes; her heart was set on developing the new drug as early as possible...
She went downstairs, and Bao Jingyan’s car was waiting for her in the parking area.
She got into the car, unaware of the tall figure standing on the second floor.
He squinted, watching Su Ruanruan get into Bao Jingyan’s car openly.
Bao Ziqi scoffed out loud.
The two of them must have been together long ago, and everyone in the family are blind!
