Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 70: Ziqi, I heard you took a liking to a girl.
Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Ziqi, I heard you took a liking to a girl.
The next day, Su Ruanruan had school.
She got up early, and when she entered the main house’s dining room, she saw Bao Jingyan.
He hadn’t left?
At this moment, Bao Jingyan was discussing business affairs with Bao Mingyuan.
Seeing Su Ruanruan approaching, Bao Jingyan naturally pulled out a chair beside him.
It was inappropriate for Su Ruanruan to sit but even more inappropriate not to sit.
Instead, it was Bao Mingyuan who chuckled lightly, "What’s this about? You’re being distant with your brother?"
Su Ruanruan smiled faintly and sat next to Bao Jingyan.
Her head lifted and accidentally met eyes with Bao Ziqi.
She immediately looked away.
Bao Mingyuan then continued to discuss some business affairs with Bao Jingyan, mainly about developing a new drug... After finishing the conversation, he turned to his younger son and straightforwardly spoke, "I heard from the housekeeper that you’re fond of the pianist your mother hired and even want to take her abroad for further studies?"
Upon hearing this, Bao Ziqi looked towards his mother.
Mrs. Bao was elegantly wiping her lips with a pristine napkin and spoke indifferently, "Your relationship with Qionglin is stable, it’s not suitable to have another girl around."
Bao Ziqi frowned, "What are you thinking? It’s just because she’s very talented in music."
Mrs. Bao’s voice remained gentle, "A girl from such a small place might become ambitious, it could be troublesome."
Bao Ziqi scoffed, "Your concern should be directed towards dad."
He was in a bad mood, pushed back his chair, and headed towards the parking lot.
Bao Mingyuan did not call after him.
Once he had left, he turned to his wife, "Ziqi isn’t a reckless child."
Mrs. Bao looked at her husband and spoke softly, "Did you know? Last night, that girl called our home, asking for her wages in advance, probably because Ziqi had been in contact with her."
Bao Mingyuan frowned, "Is that so?"
Mrs. Bao’s tone became even lighter, "Such people shouldn’t stay near Ziqi; it’s best to send her away sooner."
Besides, her son needs to marry a well-born lady, focusing on family background and appearance, not mere talent.
Now that things had reached this point, even Bao Mingyuan felt that the young girl was somewhat scheming.
He looked at Su Ruanruan gently, "These days after school, come home early and spend more time with Ziqi."
Su Ruanruan was unexpectedly named, and with Bao Mingyuan’s words carrying an implication, she pretended not to understand.
But Mrs. Bao glared at her husband, "Mingyuan, you forgot, Qionglin is Ziqi’s girlfriend. I called her to come over more often."
Bao Mingyuan wanted to say something, yet thinking better of it, he gave up.
He then looked at his elder son, trying to discern any clues from his expression.
However, Bao Jingyan was holding a coffee cup in one hand and a newspaper in the other.
It was hard to detect anything.
After a moment, Bao Jingyan looked up with a faint smile, "Dad, why are you looking at me?"
Bao Mingyuan was somewhat disconcerted.
Bao Jingyan smiled again and stood up, "I’m off to the company."
Bao Mingyuan watched him leave and then shifted his gaze back to Su Ruanruan.
His look was contemplative.
Having finished her breakfast, Su Ruanruan also rose, ready to head to school.
But just as she exited the villa’s front gate, she saw a black sedan parked at the entrance. Biting her lip and contemplating avoidance, the rear car window rolled down revealing Bao Jingyan’s distinguished face.
"Get in."
With many eyes around, Su Ruanruan dared not disobey.
She got into the car.
Bao Jingyan sat in the back, examining documents, his demeanor noble.
Just when Su Ruanruan sighed in relief thinking he wouldn’t speak to her, he spoke softly, "What do you think of the matter between Bao Ziqi and that young girl?"
"It’s none of my business."
Su Ruanruan acknowledged she was somewhat cold-hearted.
