Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Heartache

He said this while draping an arm over Ruanruan’s shoulder.

Her body stiffened briefly.

Bao Ziqi gave a self-deprecating smile.

However, with his assurance, Bao Mingyuan stopped suspecting anything. Seeing his younger son and Ruanruan standing side by side, he felt a wave of comfort.

Jingyan will definitely get better, Ziqi and Ruanruan will be together.

The Bao family is fortunate.

Thus, Bao Mingyuan’s voice was very gentle: "That’s good."

At the moment, the four of them anxiously waited at the door. Doctors occasionally came and went, but there was no news.

The surgery lasted a full four hours.

Four hours later, Bao Jingyan was wheeled out.

Bao Mingyuan straightened up instantly and rushed over. Supporting the hospital bed, his hoarse voice barely audible, he asked, "Jingyan, how is it?"

Bao Jingyan looked pale after the surgery.

He slightly opened his eyes, looking at the several faces above.

After a moment, he found the person he wanted to see.

She stood carefully to one side, her eyes filled with tears, struggling not to let them fall.

Bao Jingyan very much wanted to call her over, to coax her not to cry.

But he couldn’t do that, and he also didn’t have the strength to speak now.

In the end, he gave Bao Mingyuan a faint smile.

Bao Mingyuan, a veteran in the business world for decades, was rarely so moved. He gripped his eldest son’s hand, offering comfort: "It’s okay! It’s fine."

Bao Jingyan smiled silently again.

His gaze fell once more on Ruanruan’s face.

She still looked like she wanted to cry.

It pained his heart, leading him to shift slightly, which aggravated his wound.

Ruanruan immediately felt the pain too, truly a case of shared feelings.

All of this did not escape Bao Ziqi.

His heart ached even more.

After entering the hospital room, Bao Mingyuan stayed for a while but had to leave early for company matters.

The grand old lady and others came in to visit.

Ruanruan, worried about arousing suspicion, went to the small kitchen to cut fruit.

Thinking of the bandage wrapped around Bao Jingyan’s shoulder, her heart felt sour, and tears inevitably fell. She couldn’t continue cutting with the knife...

Bao Ziqi leaned at the door, silently watching her.

He watched her cry and be heartbroken for Bao Jingyan, watched her usually indifferent facade shatter.

So it turned out she was not heartless, but that she had given her heart to Bao Jingyan.

Bao Ziqi couldn’t stand it any longer, turned around, and left.

Inside the hospital room, the grand old lady refused to leave.

Her eldest grandson Bao Jingyan was her life! The old lady decided to take care of him personally until her grandson recovered.

Bao Jingse couldn’t persuade her otherwise.

Ruanruan brought the fruit into the hospital room. Seeing her eyes slightly swollen, Bao Jingse intentionally created an opportunity for his brother and her to be alone. Thus, he said to the old lady, "You haven’t had lunch, why don’t I take you down to eat something? The hospital canteen is too greasy!"

The old lady refused to go.

Bao Jingse then said: "Old lady, elder brother needs to eat soon too, will you let him eat the hospital’s food?"

Caring deeply for her eldest grandson, she immediately got up to make arrangements.

Finally, only Bao Jingyan and Ruanruan were left in the hospital room.

Though weak, he was conscious.

He reached out his hand to her, his voice hoarse: "Ruanruan, come here."

She slowly moved closer, her eyes redder.

Ruanruan sat by the bed, her hand gently caressing his face, her voice trembling: "How did you get shot?"

But he asked her, "Have you cried?"

His voice was weak, yet carried a tender touch that moved the heart.

Ruanruan bit her lip and hummed in acknowledgment.

"Come closer," he whispered.

Normally she might not have obeyed, but since he was injured, Ruanruan was willing to indulge him.

She leaned in gently, placing her small face in his palm.
