Ruanruan bit her lip as she glanced at Bao Jingyan, then quickly dashed out.
"Uncle, I’m here."
Bao Mingyuan smiled, "Where did you run off to? Took a while to find you."
Ruanruan responded absentmindedly.
In her heart, she was always thinking of her second brother.
She did not notice that Bao Ziqi was also by Bao Mingyuan’s side.
His eyes landed on her soft lips.
Those lips, soft and tender like jelly, but too crimson.
As if soone had kissed them recklessly.
The thought pricked Bao Ziqi.
Slightly disgruntled.
Bao Mingyuan cheerfully said, "You disappeared in the blink of an eye!"
At this ti, Mrs. Bao said with a smile, "It so happens that we t Mrs. Gu, and your uncle wanted you to et her."
Mrs. Gu, the wife of Gu Yuanpei,
the Gu Family primarily engages in import and export trade and is very successful in business.
Mrs. Gu took a liking to Ruanruan’s painting at the charity sale and happened to et her on campus, so she wanted to et her.
After a word from Mr. and Mrs. Bao Mingyuan, Ruanruan noticed the beautiful middle-aged lady standing beside them.
Very beautiful, and very kind-looking.
At this mont, Mrs. Gu was smiling kindly at Ruanruan.
For so reason, Ruanruan felt a strange familiarity with Mrs. Gu,
especially the kindness in her eyes and brows.
Ruanruan liked Mrs. Gu and approached her softly, saying, "Hello, Mrs. Gu."
Mrs. Gu took her hand, her eyes filled with indescribable affection.
After a mont, she turned to Mrs. Bao and said, "This is Ziqi’s little cousin, right? Very lovable indeed."
Hearing this, Qionglin’s face changed dramatically.
Bao Mingyuan chuckled, clearly pleased.
Mrs. Bao imdiately said, "The children are still young, it’s too early to speak of certain matters."
Mrs. Gu understood.
She truly adored Ruanruan, and thus slid a jade bracelet off her wrist onto Ruanruan’s hand.
The jade bracelet was erald green and clearly very valuable.
Beside her, Qionglin was consud by jealousy!
Why should Ruanruan, an orphan, get such attention from Mrs. Gu?
Clearly, she was the legitimate daughter of the Su Family, and clearly, she was Bao Ziqi’s girlfriend!
She fixated on Ruanruan, thinking to herself,
This orphan girl had never seen anything so nice before, right? She must be too eager to accept it and disgrace the Bao Family!
With a cold laugh in her heart, she waited for Ruanruan’s embarrassnt.
But unexpectedly, Ruanruan refused, "This is too valuable, Mrs. Gu!"
Even Bao Mingyuan remarked with a smile, "Mrs. Gu, you flatter Ruanruan too much."
Mrs. Gu, after a mont’s thought, felt she had been too presumptuous and took the bracelet back.
She then kindly added, "Do visit my ho when you have ti."
Ruanruan softly agreed.
Mrs. Gu’s gaze lingered on her face, making Ruanruan feel sowhat embarrassed.
After a while, Mrs. Gu snapped back to reality, apologizing, "Seeing you reminds uncontrollably of my lost daughter, who would be about your age if she hadn’t gone missing."
She spoke with a saddened expression.
Ruanruan, having lost her mother at a young age and deeply craving familial affection, softly held Mrs. Gu’s hand and offered a few words of comfort.
Mrs. Gu perked up, slightly embarrassed, she chuckled, "Didn’t an to make a scene!"
She sighed, "My child was beautiful; I hope the family that took her in treats her well. She would be of college age by now."
She was genuinely feeling lancholic today, and those with her couldn’t help but comfort her.
Mrs. Gu managed a smile, spoke a few more words with Ruanruan and then left.
