She gently drew back her hand, worried he might be displeased, she thought for a moment and still leaned forward to lightly kiss his dry lips.
Bao Jingyan’s body shook, he hadn’t expected her to be so bold.
This was the first time Ruanruan had taken the initiative to kiss him.
Bao Jingyan opened his eyes, his gaze locked onto her tender lips, his throat involuntarily swallowing.
Su Ruanruan felt a bit shy, whispering: "I’m going to the kitchen."
After saying that, she went to the kitchen to fiddle with things.
About a minute later, Bao Mingyuan pushed the door and entered.
The hospital room was empty, only Bao Jingyan was there.
He frowned: "Where’s the nurse?"
Bao Jingyan was in a good mood: "She just left."
Bao Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought they were slacking off."
With no one else around, he began discussing the shooting incident with his son: "Do you know who did it?"
Bao Jingyan glanced towards the kitchen, then quickly retracted his gaze and told Bao Mingyuan a name.
Bao Mingyuan was so shocked he couldn’t sit still.
Not only him, but Su Ruanruan in the kitchen was also startled.
She lost her grip, and a plate crashed to the floor.
Bao Mingyuan glanced at his elder son and immediately walked toward the kitchen.
Then, he saw Su Ruanruan.
"Ruanruan?" Bao Mingyuan wanted to ask why she was there but thought it would be too abrupt, changing the subject instead: "How’s the old lady?"
Su Ruanruan had regained her composure, speaking softly: "Sister Jingse took her out to eat."
Bao Mingyuan nodded: "Right, at her age, she should eat well."
He left Su Ruanruan and returned to the hospital room to continue discussing matters with his elder son, saying: "Mu Jiu and our family have never had any grievances, why did he target you this time?"
He always felt Jingyan was hiding something from him!
Bao Jingyan rested one hand behind his head, looking at his father: "I want the port he controls."
These words were half-true, half-false.
Bao Mingyuan turned pale with shock: "Did you provoke him?"
Bao Jingyan neither admitted nor denied.
He took the initiative to take the blame, to clear Su Ruanruan’s name, he couldn’t let others know that Mu Jiu came after him because of Ruanruan, otherwise, Ruanruan wouldn’t be able to stay with the Bao Family.
Moreover, since Mu Jiu had picked a fight with him, he couldn’t blame him for being ruthless.
Bao Mingyuan was stunned for a while before he found his voice again: "What are you planning to do?"
Bao Jingyan’s lips curled into a vengeful smile: "Leave it to me! I will make Mu Jiu pay dearly."
Bao Mingyuan lost his voice again.
His son was even more ruthless than him. He felt both proud and worried.
Would Jingyan end up unhappy in marriage?
And what kind of woman could enter his heart?
Bao Mingyuan, with his thoughts, returned to his company, and the old lady and Bao Jingse also came back.
By four in the afternoon, Bao Jingse called Su Ruanruan aside, whispering: "You go back first, tomorrow I’ll persuade the old lady to go back too, then you can come visit again."
Bao Jingse looked at her slightly red eyes, feeling a bit of pity. She gently comforted: "Once you’re out of the hospital, it will be better, then I’ll talk to the family about you staying at my place."
Such an implication made Su Ruanruan somewhat embarrassed, her face blushing lightly.
She was reluctant to leave, and Bao Jingyan was even more so.
But he pretended to be indifferent, leaning against the headboard, his tone also flat: "Ruanruan is leaving?"
The old lady slapped his hand: "Still hoping Ruanruan will stay with you through the night?"
Bao Jingyan purposefully said: "Why not? Ruanruan is a divine healer, maybe if she stays, I’ll recover quicker!"
