Hao Keke stopped Bao Ziqi, a shy expression on her face and her voice soft and delicate, "I will be playing at the teacher’s house at the dance party in a few days."
Bao Ziqi nodded slightly, his demeanor somewhat cold, and walked away.
Hao Keke watched him leave gracefully, getting into that car worth millions, her heart throbbing with excitement.
She saw an opportunity to climb the social ladder with a top-level musician who was unmarried. Later, becoming his student and being with him day and night, she wouldn’t lack opportunities...
In her excitement, Hao Keke dialed her best friend to share the news.
Of course, she also mentioned that she didn’t play "Starry Sky" herself, not without worry.
Her friend immediately laughed, "Are you silly, Keke? Why would you give such an opportunity to someone else? Of course, you should learn earnestly from Teacher Ziqi."
Hao Keke smiled, a hint of sweetness in her voice, "That’s what I thought too."
After hanging up, she recalled Bao Ziqi’s lukewarm attitude and felt that there was admiration but not enough intimacy.
She felt a bit distressed—
Perhaps, she should prepare a decent evening gift for the dance party; that way, he might see her differently!
But her savings were limited, and her daily living expenses already took up a big chunk—where would she get the money for a gown?
Even a simple gown would cost at least a few thousand!
Hao Keke bit her lip, then suddenly thought of the Bao family.
The Bao family’s butler had promised her a night’s pay of two thousand; she could pay in advance and add a bit more to buy a decent gown...
Driven by her desires, she cast aside her shame and soon made a hesitant phone call to explain her intentions.
Fortunately, the butler agreed.
Hao Keke breathed a sigh of relief; soon after, she lowered her head and giggled shyly.
After dinner, Su Ruanruan took a bath and continued to pore over the materials Bao Jingyan had given her, highly concerned about joining Dijing Group’s R&D department, even though she was currently at odds with Bao Jingyan.
Refusing to answer his calls or see him.
She didn’t blow-dry her hair, letting her wet hair drape over her shoulders, even dampening her pajamas.
She looked like the most radiant water sprite.
A tall figure silently entered, unnoticed until he pounced like a big tiger from behind and encircled her in his arms, affectionately nuzzling her little neck.
"Don’t want to see me anymore?" His voice was especially husky.
Su Ruanruan was startled, then somewhat annoyed.
His return in such a nonchalant manner, what would others think?
Seeming aware of her concerns, Bao Jingyan gently nibbled her earlobe, "You heartless little thing, I climbed the wall to come here."
She paused for a moment, then grasped his meaning.
Yet she was still upset, pushing him away: "Don’t want to see you."
Bao Jingyan was aware of her anger due to his confrontation with Su Ru’an, and indulged her. Just as she tried to flee, he grabbed her slender waist and pulled her onto his lap, taking the materials in his hand, "Not wanting to see me yet working so hard, aren’t you wanting to stay by my side day and night?"
Her eyes teared up, her face turned away, refusing to speak.
Bao Jingyan glanced at her and then lowered his head to earnestly review her notes. After a while, he murmured, "Even if I had no improper thoughts towards you, I would still hire you at Dijing Group."
Su Ruanruan immediately said, "Then treat me as a pure colleague."
Bao Jingyan laughed and ruffled her hair, "Such an innocent child."
His appreciation for her was merely incidental.
The world was filled with talents; did he have to like each and every one of them?
