Bao Family Restaurant.
Mrs. Bao pretended to feel unwell and did not co down.
No one else was present, so it was just Su Ruanruan and Bao Mingyuan dining together.
All was quiet.
Bao Mingyuan tried to speak several tis but could not find the words to begin.
In the end, all he said was, "You seem to have lost so weight; eat a bit more."
Su Ruanruan uttered a sound of acknowledgnt and said nothing further.
Bao Mingyuan’s gaze grew dim.
Is this child planning to ignore him for a lifeti?
The atmosphere was a bit gloomy, and Housekeeper Wang, deftly serving the dishes for Su Ruanruan, said, "Madam instructed the kitchen to make this, saying Miss Su likes it."
Su Ruanruan tried a small bite and liked it very much.
She smiled, revealing pearly white teeth.
Very cute.
Watching her, Bao Mingyuan felt a wave of sadness.
He had lost such a lovely child.
Just as he mustered up the spirit to try and say sothing, a commotion erupted at the door.
It was Mu Jiu barging in.
The servants could not stop him; afraid of being scolded, they said, "I told him Sir was dining, but..."
Even so, Bao Mingyuan was not pleased.
Su Ruanruan stepped in to speak for the servant, saying, "I had arranged to speak with Mr. Mu."
The servant was surprised and glanced at Su Ruanruan.
He hadn’t expected Miss Su to speak up for him.
With Su Ruanruan’s intervention, Bao Mingyuan’s expression softened considerably, and he signaled for the servant to leave.
Afterward, he said to Mu Jiu quite politely, "Since Ruanruan has invited you, please join us for a simple al, Mr. Mu."
He waved his hand.
Housekeeper Wang prepared to set an extra place.
Yet, Mr. Mu said, "No need."
He spoke to Su Ruanruan gruffly, "You’re so soft-hearted towards a servant! But towards my mother, you’re so cruel! I must have been blind to have fancied you."
Bao Mingyuan was furious, "Ruanruan is not a doctor! Why bla her!"
Mu Jiu, grinding his teeth, let loose, "If she’s not a doctor, then who is? Zhou Zizhuo is nowhere to be found; I’ve pleaded with her for days to no avail!"
At that mont, Mu Jiu truly wanted to spill the beans about Su Ruanruan and Bao Jingyan!
To get back at her!
But thinking of his mother’s instructions, he swallowed his words.
After venting furiously, he finds Su Ruanruan still slowly and ticulously chewing her food.
"Finished?" Su Ruanruan lifted her eyes and asked lightly.
Her eyes shone with sharp fragnts.
Directly challenging Mu Jiu!
Mu Jiu had a temper and wouldn’t be cowed by the soft approach.
He turned his face against Su Ruanruan, "I know you’re of high status, and to you, others’ lives are worthless! Today, I, Mu Jiu, swear here that if I beg you again, I’ll be nothing but a cowardly fool."
Having said his piece, he strode off.
Su Ruanruan continued to eat slowly.
Bao Mingyuan couldn’t help but worry, "Is this okay? Mu Jiu is a passionate man."
He feared for Su Ruanruan’s well-being.
After slowly chewing for a while, Su Ruanruan softly said, "He will co back to beg ."
Bao Mingyuan was taken aback.
On one hand, he was relieved by the child’s strategic thinking; on the other hand, he was delighted that the child was finally willing to speak to him.
Mixed feelings of surprise and joy, he didn’t know what to do.
In the end, he just knew to serve her more food.
"Eat a bit more; it’s good for growing."
Su Ruanruan said nothing, but she gradually ate all the food he offered her.
Bao Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
A face, still sowhat dashing, felt a weight lifted off.
All this was seen by Housekeeper Wang.
Housekeeper Wang thought to himself: Sir has already been reverse-PUA’ed by Miss Su! His every move is dictated by Miss Su now! Look, he doesn’t even dare to bring up the matter of the second young master’s marriage that he’s most concerned about!
Miss Su is remarkable!
