Bao Ziqi was momentarily dazed, then immediately chased after her.
This act stunned the old lady and Gui Zhi.
The old lady pointed at the door and said, "This child hasn’t given up yet?"
Gui Zhi didn’t dare to speak.
She mumbled incoherently.
In the courtyard, Bao Ziqi quickly caught up with Su Ruanruan.
"Why aren’t you eating the late-night snack? Is it because I brought it and you won’t eat it?"
He lowered his voice, purposely asking, "Are you afraid he would be upset if he knew?"
Sometimes, Bao Ziqi could be quite troublesome.
He was like a child who couldn’t get the toy he wanted, never giving up.
She said to Bao Ziqi, "I’m worried about getting fat; I don’t have the habit of eating late-night snacks."
Bao Ziqi was stunned.
Su Ruanruan stabbed him again, "Bao Jingyan never lets me eat late-night snacks."
Bao Ziqi misunderstood...
His face turned ugly.
By this time, Su Ruanruan had already reached the dining room.
Bao Mingyuan and his wife, Bao Jingyuan, were already sitting there, and Su Ruanruan politely nodded at them.
She clearly acted like a guest.
She went to wash her hands in the restroom.
Bao Mingyuan asked her outside, "Is the old lady’s leg better?"
Su Ruanruan nodded, whispered, "It should be fine after tonight!"
Bao Mingyuan’s heart trembled, "The old lady is better, what are your plans?"
Su Ruanruan washed her hands and dried them.
She returned to the dining table and said with a light smile, "Of course, I will leave once the old lady is better."
Bao Jingyuan scowled and said, "I don’t believe you will leave. You came back just to cling to my home, didn’t you? You just can’t let go of my second brother; you want to be my second sister-in-law."
"Jingyuan!" Bao Mingyuan rebuked his daughter, "What nonsense are you talking?"
Unfortunately, Bao Ziqi just came over.
He pulled out a chair and sat next to Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan remained composed.
Bao Jingyuan was frantic, "Dad see, just one evening and Su Ruanruan has seduced the second brother again! What about Sister Minglan?"
She spoke out of line more and more.
Bao Mingyuan couldn’t take it anymore.
He slapped his younger daughter.
A loud smack sounded in the hall.
Everyone was stunned.
Mrs. Bao’s voice trembled, "Mingyuan, have you lost your mind! How could you hit Jingyuan for an outsider?"
Already dissatisfied with her, Bao Mingyuan pointed at her and said, "Teach her well, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless if she causes any trouble that can’t be fixed."
Mrs. Bao was utterly embarrassed.
Bao Jingyuan, covering her face, ran out.
"No one chase after her!" Bao Mingyuan spoke sternly, "She needs to grow up."
Su Ruanruan took a sip of milk, smiled faintly, "By tomorrow night at the latest, I will leave. There really is no need to argue over me."
She was polite yet distant.
Bao Mingyuan felt a pang in his heart.
He couldn’t stay at home any longer and went to his company after breakfast.
The secretary brewed him tea and then talked about the big news in River City this morning.
"Apparently, Miss Su proposed three conditions to Master Mu Jiu," the secretary admired.
Bao Mingyuan was taken aback.
He frowned, "Did the newspapers write about it?"
This happened at his residence; who leaked it?
In a moment, he guessed that his wife was behind it.
She wanted to make Su Ruanruan look foolish!
The secretary placed the tea down, continuing, "Now everyone in River City is waiting to see Miss Su’s embarrassment; some even started betting pools."
Bao Mingyuan waved his hand, "Ruanruan is young and needs experience! Even if she slips up once, it’s nothing!"
He sat in the leather chair, pondered for a moment: "Here, help me get Lawyer Wang here! If there’s bad news from Mu Jiu, immediately release the news that the Bao family wants to take Su Ruanruan as a goddaughter."
The secretary naturally asked, "Does Mr. Bao want to take Miss Su as his daughter?"
Bao Mingyuan knocked on the tabletop and nodded, "It has to be this way! No matter what, I can’t let this child lose face this time."
