Bao Jingyan let out a light chuckle.
He said, "Shouldn’t Ziqi’s soul belong to Miss Xia?"
The old lady hit him, "You know exactly what you’re doing!"
Taking advantage of no one around, the old lady repeated the events of last night.
Her version was much more sensational than Housekeeper Wang’s.
After finishing, she added, "Jingyan, you have no idea how ugly the concubine’s face looked! She wasn’t annoyed with Gui Zhi, but rather upset that her son still holds Ruanruan in his heart."
The old lady closed her eyes briefly, "Ruanruan and Ziqi, these two kids, I had Gui Zhi calculated their compatibility last time, and it turned out they have no fate together."
Bao Jingyan lifted his eyes to look at Gui Zhi.
Gui Zhi gave a faint smile.
Both knew what was in each other’s hearts.
The old lady continued, "Now, I have no other wishes but to hope for Ruanruan’s return! The child is not favored in the Su Family, and she took almost nothing with her when she left. What if she lacks food or clothing while out there?"
Saying so, she couldn’t help but tear up.
She held Bao Jingyan’s hand, speaking softly, "Jingyan, help me find Ruanruan! Once found, get her a place to stay and let her continue her studies, alright?"
Bao Jingyan was deeply moved.
He crouched down, gently asking, "Does the old lady really like her that much?"
The old lady sighed, "I’ve seen it clearly, not many truly care for her."
"Just a while ago, your father valued her so highly, yet he was ready to cast her out based on a few photos, without leaving any leeway for sentiment!"
Bao Jingyan gently massaged the old lady’s frail hands, smiling, "Alright, I’ll bring her back for you! From now on, she can stay by your side and accompany you every day."
With those words, Gui Zhi stared straight at him.
What daring from the young master!
It was quite clear what he meant, unfortunately, the old lady failed to understand.
Indeed, the old lady shook her head, "It’s impossible between her and Ziqi! Ruanruan is too proud and dignified; having been treated like that, why would she want to come back?"
Bao Jingyan merely smiled.
He coaxed the old lady into having breakfast, and after much effort, she finally fell asleep.
Gui Zhi escorted him out.
"Thank you, Aunt Gui," Bao Jingyan lowered his voice, "You knew early on, didn’t you?"
Gui Zhi gave him a look, then said, "I saw it when the young master and the third young Miss Su were getting engaged."
Gui Zhi pulled him aside, whispering, "Young Master Jingyan, what do you plan to do? I’m helping you keep it a secret, but sooner or later the old lady might realize."
"Let’s wait until Ruanruan is older," Bao Jingyan said softly, "Making it known now wouldn’t be good for her either."
Gui Zhi thought for a moment, then nodded.
Just then, Bao Jingyan’s phone rang. It was a message from Su Ruanruan.
They had already arrived in City B.
Gui Zhi whispered from the side, "Is it Miss Su?"
Bao Jingyan hummed an acknowledgment and replied to the message.
He added, "She’s in City B, at my uncle’s place."
Now, Gui Zhi was truly stunned.
Does this mean they are discussing marriage?
After sending the message, Bao Jingyan left the Bao Family, ready to get into his car when he saw Bao Ziqi.
He looked like he was heading out.
However, he didn’t look well.
Bao Jingyan frowned, "Running about when you’re unwell?"
Bao Ziqi’s attitude was cold.
He opened the car door, looking up at Bao Jingyan, "None of your business!"
With that, he got into the car and sped away.
Bao Jingyan shook his head.
Bao Ziqi had quite the temper, probably because he hadn’t faced much adversity.
Of course, his biggest trouble came from Mrs. Bao.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Bao and Xia Minglan were having morning tea.
Mrs. Bao was eager to know about Zhou Zizhuo, and of course, she didn’t go alone but also brought Bao Ziqi.
Minglan was understanding; the Bao Family also had to show their sincerity.
