Bao Mingyuan gave her a glance and spoke with resounding clarity: "Thanks to Ruanruan, the Bao Family has been honored! She can take care of business for the empire’s scenery! What about you, Jingyuan? All you do is play all day, or chase after that Professor Su! Do you think I’m completely unaware?"
He supported Su Ruanruan’s face: "Speak up if anyone has any problems today, but don’t blame your father for being unpleasant if anyone brings this up again after today."
He then asked his other two children: "Jingse, Ziqi, do either of you have any objections?"
Bao Jingse couldn’t be more pleased.
Bao Ziqi looked deep and shook his head: "No objections."
Bao Mingyuan was very pleased.
That’s how it should be, with Ziqi concentrating on pursuing art in the future, and Ruanruan managing the household.
Besides, Ruanruan has a good relationship with Jingyan, which could also improve the relationship between Jingyan and Ziqi.
Bao Mingyuan was wishful thinking, hoping for a beautiful future.
With him being so assertive, Mrs. Bao couldn’t speak up.
Her heart was chilled.
To this day, she could not accept the fact that Su Ruanruan’s status had surpassed her own in such a short time. Clearly, Mingyuan had already treated Su Ruanruan as his own child.
She glanced at her husband again.
Now, Bao Mingyuan had eyes only for Su Ruanruan. He said affectionately, "Ruanruan, you’ll be hard-pressed for a while as Jingyan is in the hospital. Once things settle down, have Jingse take you abroad for a trip."
Bao Jingse took the opportunity: "Dad, let Ruanruan stay at my place for a few days. I’ll also take her to the company."
Bao Mingyuan was very pleased.
He said to Bao Jingyuan: "Look at Jingse’s magnanimity! You really should reflect on yourself!"
After finishing his statement, he spoke to Bao Jingse: "Stay at your place for a few days! Be sure to bring her back later, the old lady misses her!"
Then, she took Su Ruanruan to pack up and leave.
Only after everyone had left did Bao Mingyuan remember something, "Ruanruan hasn’t eaten yet!"
Mrs. Bao was furious.
Ruanruan, Ruanruan, Mingyuan’s heart is filled with Su Ruanruan now!
She was discontent, thus she had a restless night.
Bao Mingyuan was in a good mood, hinting several times but being rejected each time.
Bao Mingyuan was somewhat disappointed and leaned on the bed to smoke: "What’s the matter with you? You’re not even menopausal yet!"
Mrs. Bao took a bath, dressed in a silk nightgown, and sat in front of the vanity mirror, applying her skincare products.
Her figure was delicate and her appearance beautiful.
She glanced at her husband in the mirror and spoke somberly: "You shouldn’t have disregarded Jingyuan’s feelings today."
Her voice lowered: "No matter how good Su Ruanruan is, Jingyuan is still your own child."
"Is that what’s making you upset with me?" Bao Mingyuan chuckled softly.
He got out of bed, went behind his wife, and embraced her, blowing a warm breath into her ear: "I am planning for our Ziqi!"
Mrs. Bao was startled, but kept her composure: "Ziqi?"
"Yes!" Bao Mingyuan gently stroked his wife’s earlobe and spoke leisurely: "You know Ziqi likes that girl Ruanruan! I can see she’s not entirely heartless. If they end up together, my heart will be at ease."
Mrs. Bao had mixed feelings.
She had considered Su Ruanruan, but she still despised her background.
Besides, her family had been humiliated today, she felt that Su Ruanruan was not on her side.
Mrs. Bao forced a smile: "Your thoughts are quite positive! But, I’m afraid you are wishfully thinking! Today she disrespected Vice President Wang like that, and he’s from my side of the family."
Bao Mingyuan felt protective of Su Ruanruan and said: "Ruanruan has no objections towards him! She respects him a lot! It’s because I don’t think he’s competent enough. Besides, however close he is, can he be as dear as our daughter-in-law?"
