Chapter 128: Chapter 128: The Contest Between Father and Son of the Bao Family 2

Bao Mingyuan’s chest heaved violently, "I do not approve of your affair with her."

Bao Jingyan lit a cigarette, took a drag, and slowly blew out a ring of smoke, "I never planned to marry her either."

Bao Mingyuan was incredulous, "You go through all this trouble if you don’t want to marry her?"

"Without Su Ruanruan, the research would be delayed by at least half a year!" Bao Jingyan’s voice was lazy, "Better to have her join Di Jing than to marry her."

He added: "But if she marries Mu Qun, Dad, would you dare to use her?"

Bao Mingyuan was taken aback.

He understood this son of his!

Ruthless and decisive! It wasn’t impossible for him to give up a young girl for power.

But he still had a card up his sleeve: "Then tomorrow, you roll on over and go on a blind date for me."

"No problem," Bao Jingyan unexpectedly did not refuse.

Bao Mingyuan was in a really bad mood, fiercely smoked two cigarettes, then suddenly said, "Ziqi is planning to take her to Britain."

Bao Jingyan’s expression did not change, "What do you mean by that, Dad?"

Bao Mingyuan glared fiercely at his eldest son, "You already said that the research can’t go on without her, what else could I mean?"

With that, he left in anger.

Bao Jingyan stayed alone in the vast conference room for a long time before returning to his office, where Xiao Ran opened the door for him.

"I was looking at the materials," Xiao Ran’s voice was soft.

Bao Jingyan gestured for her to step out first.

He closed the door, took off his jacket, and sat down next to Su Ruanruan.

"Studying so hard?" He spoke in a relaxed tone.

Su Ruanruan did not look up and continued to read the material.

Bao Jingyan smiled slightly, walked over to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of red wine, and savored it slowly.

After a while, Su Ruanruan looked up, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Bao Jingyan’s slender fingers held the mug, his dark pupils fixed on her.

He did not make a sound.

Su Ruanruan put down the documents and walked over, "Is it because of my issue?"

He playfully tugged her hair and feigned ignorance, "What issue could possibly involve you?"

Su Ruanruan felt somewhat embarrassed.

She walked back and continued to review the material.

Bao Jingyan’s gaze lingered on her, unfathomable—

Earlier, Jingse had visited.

Jingse had asked him: Was it worth it to disrupt the balance and stake years of effort for a Su Ruanruan?

Bao Jingyan had not considered whether it was worth it or not; he simply didn’t want her to be afraid.

If he said he liked her, then he must do everything to protect her.

At that moment, Su Ruanruan inadvertently looked up and met his gaze.

Bao Jingyan smiled gently...

That afternoon, he took her to the lab, and Su Ruanruan assimilated into the work more easily than he had imagined.

Those PhD old-timers in the research department were thoroughly impressed by her.

It was 8 at night when they left.

Getting into the car, Bao Jingyan leaned in for a quick kiss, whispering, "Stay overnight at my place? I’ll have Gu Ze call home."

Su Ruanruan shyly shook her head, her voice as soft as a kitten, "That wouldn’t be right."

"What’s wrong with it?" He tugged at her little ear.

Su Ruanruan remained silent, her cheeks flushing red, thankfully obscured by the dimness of the car.

Bao Jingyan’s emotions suddenly stirred, and he reached out to hold her in his embrace.

Su Ruanruan struggled half-heartedly, to no avail.

Bao Jingyan did not kiss her immediately but watched her for a long time, as if memorizing the softness of her delicate skin...

She was frail and delicate, and he kissed her with the utmost care.

His body carried a faint medicinal scent, mixed with the musk of a man that was intoxicating...

Su Ruanruan trembled with nervousness, her small hands gripping the fabric of his shirt on his shoulder, the friction making a soft, rustling sound.

After a while, he finally released her, speaking with a hoarse voice: "Let’s talk about it after we get through this period."

Su Ruanruan was buried in his embrace, still trembling, unsure of what lay ahead.

Bao Jingyan felt thoroughly content in his heart.
