During the meal, the two uncles of the Sun Family took extra care of Su Ruanruan, a marked change from their previous difficulties.
Su Ruanruan was somewhat surprised.
Returning to her bedroom, she took a bath and lay on the bed in her slip.
After some thought, she still made a phone call to Bao Jingyan.
His voice was somewhat low: "Missing me already after just half a day?"
"It’s not about that." Su Ruanruan repeated the events to him.
Bao Jingyan laughed: "What’s so surprising about that! Ruanruan, you’re quite charming to the older generation."
"If your two uncles knew you said that, they would definitely not let you off the hook," Su Ruanruan hummed softly.
"Already calling them uncles now?" Bao Jingyan teased her on purpose.
Su Ruanruan’s face blushed, and she hung up the phone with a light cry.
After hanging up the phone, her face remained flushed for a while before she remembered the important matters at hand.
Right now, Lady Bao must be actively working on Bao Ziqi’s marriage, and Bao Mingyuan, even if he regrets it, cannot change what has been set in motion.
When the time comes, it would not be good for her and Bao Ziqi to be brought together by Bao Mingyuan.
Her calculations towards Lady Bao were exactly for this outcome.
From now on, she would have no further relations with Bao Ziqi.
A cold glint flickered through Su Ruanruan’s eyes.
The night was slightly cool.
Yet she was not sleepy at all and simply got up to sit on the chaise lounge by the window.
Her black hair was loosened, and she focused on reading documents.
Early the next morning at seven o’clock, Su Ruanruan got up and went to the dining room for breakfast.
The two uncles from the Sun Family had already returned to B city, and two beautiful and dignified women were surrounding the elder Mrs. Sun, speaking with her.
Their expressions were filled with respect.
Su Ruanruan figured that these two must be Bao Jingyan’s aunts, so she first greeted the elder Mrs. Sun and then addressed the two aunts separately.
The wife of Sun Jingan smiled broadly: "Truly not bad! Both personality and looks are top-notch."
The wife of Sun Jingyu sipped her tea, "Indeed, Jingyan has such high standards."
She then added jokingly to the elderly lady, "Over the years, so many young ladies have been chasing after Jingyan, but he didn’t care for any of them. Turns out he likes someone like Ruanruan."
Elder Mrs. Sun chuckled: "Five years ago, Jingyan had already taken note of Ruanruan and kept her in his heart ever since."
Su Ruanruan blushed somewhat.
Although she knew about this, she did not know the details.
Elder Mrs. Sun watched her with amusement and said: "When Jingyan first joined Di Jing, he often saw you painting in the square! But you were still so young back then, and he was busy after, so he missed the chance."
Both aunts from the Sun Family sighed: "Truly, it’s fate."
Elder Mrs. Sun nodded: "Exactly."
She then told her daughters-in-law: "Don’t think Ruanruan looks soft and frail; she’s very capable. Last night, Jingan almost suffered a bit at her hands."
The wife of Sun Jingan laughed: "He always puts on airs; Ruanruan, don’t be afraid of him! He’s just a paper tiger."
The wife of Sun Jingyu also joined in with a few witticisms.
Both beautiful and witty, Su Ruanruan liked them very much.
The wife of Sun Jingan briskly said: "Your eldest uncle asked us two to take you out for a stroll, to add some things. As for the formal stuff, we’ll arrange it once we set the date."
Su Ruanruan felt a bit shy.
But she couldn’t bear to refuse.
Having lost her mother at a young age, how could she not like such kind-hearted women?
Seeing her moved, the wife of Sun Jingan patted her hand: "Being with Jingyan, good days are yet to come."
After breakfast, Elder Mrs. Sun hurried them out the door.
The two ladies from the Sun Family were distinguished names in B city and were not too familiar with Jiangcheng.
The housekeeper of the Sun Family led the way, quite eloquent, and the journey was anything but dull.
In the car, Su Ruanruan thought to herself that she should also buy gifts for everyone in the Sun Family later; it wouldn’t be good to neglect the proper etiquette.
