She dared not linger in Bao Jingyan’s bedroom, greeting him briefly before intending to leave.
Bao Jingyan called her back.
He spoke earnestly, "I have something to discuss with you."
Su Ruanruan had no choice but to stay now.
She sat down on the sofa, grabbed a towel, and began to wipe her slightly damp hair.
Bao Jingyan poured two glasses of red wine.
He sat down opposite her and asked softly, "Heading to City B next week?"
Su Ruanruan hummed in affirmation.
Bao Jingyan continued, "What about Jia Ren? When you return, you can’t still let her live without a mom, can you?"
At this moment, Su Ruanruan didn’t want to rehash the past with him.
She wanted to give little Jia Ren the best.
She thought for a moment and said, "Ziqi mentioned that your business in City B is quite large, and you often visit. If you’re in City B, I can go see her."
Bao Jingyan held the wine glass.
Suddenly, he chuckled.
He asked her, "Why do you have to bring up Ziqi when talking about our issues? Are you afraid I’m going to eat you up?"
Su Ruanruan’s face flushed red.
She put the towel down and said softly, "Show some respect."
Bao Jingyan teased her, "How have I disrespected you? Is it respectful if I claim to be pure and free of desire in your presence?"
Su Ruanruan cursed him as a scoundrel!
Bao Jingyan murmured gently, "Still the same as before, blushing at the slightest thing."
He didn’t make it difficult for her.
He fetched some documents from the study and placed them in front of her.
Su Ruanruan flipped open the documents.
She was somewhat shocked, "Has United Hospital been so reliant on YR Company’s supplies these past years?"
YR Company was Bao Jingyan’s company based in City B.
He had been doing it quietly before.
It only came to light in the past two years, causing Bao Mingyuan to curse the streets for a while.
Betrayal! Eating from the pot and hoarding the bowl!
Stepping on his father’s bones to pave his own path... In short, it was an exhaustive tirade!
Bao Jingyan had given him a ten percent share to shut him up!
Now, Su Ruanruan looked at those numbers.
She couldn’t help but feel stunned.
It turned out that Bao Jingyan had also been preparing all these years.
It was that feeling of thinking she was walking the road alone, only to suddenly discover someone silently following and protecting her.
But she held back, not wishing to speak sentimentally.
Bao Jingyan knew she was moved.
He said in a low voice, "Ruanruan, when I say we can wait for each other, it’s not just empty words, it’s a promise."
Su Ruanruan did not respond.
After a while, she set down the documents.
She said goodnight to him in a low voice.
Bao Jingyan didn’t push her.
After all, there would be plenty of time in the future...
To avoid attention, Su Ruanruan only stayed for one night.
She spent four days in Jiang City.
Then Su Ruanruan went to City B.
Bao Mingyuan wanted to send the children on a private jet, but Su Ruanruan refused.
She said, "I’m going there to work as a doctor, it’s better to keep a low profile."
Bao Mingyuan gave a light cough, "That’s fine."
He watched his children board the plane, feeling immensely grateful to Su Ruanruan.
This child had brought the fragmented Bao Family together.
While reflecting on this, he turned and saw Bao Jingyan.
Bao Mingyuan asked him, "Aren’t you worried about bothering her by always having Jia Ren around her?"
Despite saying this, he himself lifted up little Jia Ren.
Kissing her over and over!
[My dear granddaughter~ Grandpa will take you to ride a big horse!]
Bao Jingyan lit a cigarette, following behind his father.
After a moment, he said, "I’ll take Jia Ren to City B in a few days; we may stay there a bit longer."
Bao Mingyuan was not confused.
He asked his son, "What are you planning to do? Still expecting that young lady to come crawling back to you?"
Bao Jingyan’s eyes and brows softened.
He said, "I’m the one who’ll be crawling to her."
He told little Jia Ren, "I’ve never seen someone so shameless! Deserves to be without a wife."
Little Jia Ren clapped her hands, "Grandpa doesn’t have a wife either."
