Bao Jingyan smiled faintly, not asking anything further.
He must have been very busy; after dropping her off at the school entrance, he left immediately, merely mentioning to let the driver pick her up after school to take her to his place.
Su Ruanruan watched his car drive away, and the phone in her pocket started ringing.
She took it out and saw that it was a call from Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu’s voice was very gentle: "Ruanruan, are you free this afternoon to accompany Auntie for some shopping?"
Unable to bring herself to refuse, Su Ruanruan thought for a moment and then agreed.
Mrs. Gu was very pleased and they set the time to meet.
Coming out of the school gates around four in the afternoon, Mrs. Gu’s car was already waiting there.
Su Ruanruan got into the car.
The interior was filled with fragrant breezes.
Mrs. Gu was noble and elegant.
Su Ruanruan felt slightly uneasy and softly said, "I could have taken a taxi myself."
Mrs. Gu smiled at her confidant and said, "This child is too timid. A little kindness has made her anxious."
Her confidant, seeing her so happy, also made a few playful jokes about Su Ruanruan.
Embarrassed, Su Ruanruan hung her small neck.
Her clean little face, as pure as snow and plum blossoms, blushed a delicate pink, looking very pretty.
Mrs. Gu watched her in surprise and murmured, "This child blushes so easily, just like I did when I was young."
Su Ruanruan lifted her eyes, filled with shyness.
Being favored by such a distinguished lady, she naturally felt embarrassed.
Seeing her like that, Mrs. Gu laughed, caressing the back of her hand, "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore! Tonight, you’re going to help me pick out a couple of fitting dresses."
She then complained, "Your uncle always says I have no taste and dress too somberly! I think the perspective of a young lady is always more lively, which is why I thought of you."
Mrs. Gu’s confidant smiled: It was clear the lady wanted to pamper this young girl, to buy her dresses.
But Su Ruanruan didn’t doubt her sincerity and indeed wanted to accompany Mrs. Gu.
The elongated black limousine slowly left the entrance of Zhongjiang Academy of Fine Arts, seen by many students.
Including Bao Jingyuan.
Bao Jingyuan watched enviously as Su Ruanruan got into a luxury car that wasn’t from her family.
So, had Su Ruanruan really gotten involved with a man?
Enraged, Bao Jingyuan immediately called Bao Ziqi.
"Second Brother, Su Ruanruan has really been seeing someone behind our backs!"
On the other end, Bao Ziqi frowned.
Afraid he wouldn’t believe her, Bao Jingyuan quickly said, "If Second Brother doesn’t believe me, just wait and see at the villa entrance tonight."
Bao Jingyuan didn’t care what he thought; she was, after all, going to report to Mom.
She was looking forward to the drama tonight!
Meanwhile, Bao Ziqi stared at Su Ruanruan’s mobile number for a long time but eventually gave up.
What did it matter to him with whom Su Ruanruan was involved or who she wished to follow?
Frustrated, he put away his phone, only for it to ring again.
It was his secretary, asking if he wanted to proceed with signing Hao Keke, following the established procedure.
Despite Madame Bao’s opposition, Bao Ziqi hadn’t changed his mind; his career had never tolerated interference from women.
He uttered just two words.
After hanging up the phone, he couldn’t help but light a cigarette.
In the haze of smoke, he squinted, recalling Su Ruanruan’s expression that morning when his mother mentioned Hao Keke.
Indeed, she was untroubled.
Mrs. Gu took Su Ruanruan to a renowned boutique.
The shop was well-known, and many celebrities would order custom-made dresses here to wear on the red carpet.
Su Ruanruan had never been here before and only felt that the lobby was imposing, the interior luxurious, even the air was filled with a faint scent of perfume.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruanruan also encountered someone there.
Su Ruanruan saw her, but the other party didn’t pay much attention to her.
Simply because she was not a Bao, not a Miss of the Bao Family.
At that moment, Hao Keke was choosing dresses with a female companion...
