Xiao Ran timely placed a set of documents in front of Su Ruanruan.
Su Ruanruan flipped through them, voicing her thoughts as she did so.
Her voice was delicate, yet piercingly insightful.
In the reception room, those dozen or so doctors shifted from initial disbelief to being deeply moved; it was a rapid transformation.
Who could have thought that President Bao’s young niece would have such talent!
The problems they had been unable to solve seemed to have feasible solutions when she spoke up.
But, it was said she studied fine arts, so how could she be so proficient in the medical field?
Then, does Bao Mingyuan know about this?
If he knew, would he still turn a blind eye to Bao Ziqi’s marriage proposal?
Bao Jingyan knew what they were thinking and cast a casual glance over them.
These confidants understood that this matter was not theirs to gossip about!
After Su Ruanruan finished, Bao Jingyan smiled slightly, "Miss Su is the beloved daughter of Academician Su Peiming."
Upon hearing this, the doctors immediately showed their respect.
Su Peiming had an illustrious career in the medical field and was highly revered; unfortunately, his life was cut short in his prime.
Dr. Zhong had once received Su Peiming’s kindness and couldn’t help but get teary-eyed when talking about it.
Listening to others recount her father’s past made Su Ruanruan feel both happy and sad. After the meeting, she took the initiative to chat with Dr. Zhong for a while.
Bao Jingyan teased her, "You weren’t willing to participate before, but now you can’t bear to let them leave?"
Su Ruanruan’s face turned a slight red, staying quiet.
Dr. Zhong liked this young girl and came to her defense, "Jingyan, don’t always pick on her."
Since she was the child of an old friend, he would naturally take extra care of her. He also asked Su Ruanruan if she was doing well and about her situation at the Su Family.
How could Su Ruanruan speak of her warmth and coldness at the Su Family to outsiders? She simply said it was not bad.
Dr. Zhong left with a heavy heart.
Originally, Bao Jingyan had intended for Bao Jingse to stay for dinner, but remembering the scene he had witnessed upstairs, Bao Jingse declined gently.
After everyone had left, Bao Jingyan still sat at the small conference table, reading documents, while Su Ruanruan wanted to run.
"Where are you running to? After dinner, I’ll take you home."
Su Ruanruan glanced at the time: "It’s almost 7 o’clock."
Bao Jingyan kept his head down, reading the paperwork, but he pulled her to his side with one hand.
"What’s the rush? Are you eager to see your elder brother?"
Su Ruanruan, feeling upset, ignored him.
Bao Jingyan turned his head, watching her quietly: "The suggestion you made today was very useful. I asked them to revise the experimental protocol."
It was then that Su Ruanruan spoke up, "Actually, you already had a direction in mind, why bother having me..."
He leaned back in his chair, looking at her with a smile.
Su Ruanruan disliked his smile; it felt like a mockery.
After a while, he began to speak slowly: "I’ve said before, I want to make you a person of significant importance in the Bao Family."
At that time, he would marry her.
Su Ruanruan’s face flushed, but she feigned indifference.
Any young girl would have a hard time remaining indifferent when a mature and handsome man spoke of marrying her.
Especially when they had been so intimate with each other before.
Seeing the blush on her cheeks, Bao Jingyan felt moved.
He leaned in close to her ear, whispering, "Don’t go to Britain, stay in Jiangcheng to be with me."
Her nose filled with the pleasant masculine scent of him, and the refreshing fragrance of his aftershave.
Su Ruanruan’s heart raced with a blush.
She had never been in love before, and being pressured by him, she didn’t even know if this was what it felt like to be smitten.
She lowered her petite neck, her voice soft, "I haven’t decided yet."
Over this matter, he had been angry and had given her the cold shoulder, but now Bao Jingyan was in such a good mood that he didn’t get angry; instead, he tenderly kissed her little cheek, "Then take your time to think!"
He added, "Think only of me, and no one else."
