"But your dad did take responsibility for your mom, making her the mistress of the Bao Family, even leaving everything to you when he left, which is actually quite fair to you all."
Jiang Ruan said this, and Bao Ye had never really thought about it seriously.
In his mind, his father was like a stranger.
In all these years, he could count the number of tis they t on one hand.
"Maybe."
Jiang Ruan curiously asked him, "So where is your dad now?"
Bao Ye replied, "Abroad."
"When he left the Bo family with nothing, it shocked all of Beijing. My grandfather was so angry that his hypertension acted up, but he couldn’t stop him. A lot of people in Beijing laughed at him, but he was smart and had already planned his future, so he went abroad to develop his career."
Bao Ye’s lips curved slightly: "I heard that as soon as he got there, he registered and married that woman, and later founded a company. It’s been doing well over the years and has already gone public."
Is this what it ans for a talented person to be excellent no matter where they are?
Without the Bo family, he built everything on his own.
Even though it might have been tough, he still succeeded in the end.
Jiang Ruan asked softly, "Was that woman his true love, or soone he found later?"
Bao Ye admitted, "She was his first love."
"They were together for seven years before he married my mom, it was my mom who intruded into their relationship, coming between them."
Saying this, Bao Ye paused for a mont, then added, "At my parents’ wedding, she even ca and gave my mom a gift on the spot, which was a bracelet my dad had given her, supposedly left by my grandmother for the future mistress of the Bao Family."
"And then?" Jiang Ruan was really curious, quite interested in the older generation’s matters.
To have the courage to attend the wedding of the man she loved for seven years, who was snatched away for marriage and children.
If it were her, she’d already consider herself rciful if she didn’t go and cause trouble for the other side.
Thinking about it, Jiang Ruan felt that woman had a broad mind, at least broader than hers.
If it were her, she wouldn’t have such a good temper.
"My dad saw it and directly asked her to take it back, refusing to let her give it to my mom."
Jiang Ruan’s eyes widened: "Wow, that straightforward?"
As they talked, holding her in his arms, these matters seed to beco much lighter in Bao Ye’s heart.
Lips curving upward, he said, "Yeah."
"What about your mom?" Jiang Ruan said, "She must have been incredibly angry, right?"
"Pretty much." Bao Ye laughed, "She cares about her face too much to endure such a thing. She smashed the bouquet and everything on the spot. If it weren’t for my grandfather stepping in, she would have caused an even bigger scene."
Jiang Ruan sighed.
"Did you ever see your dad after that?" Jiang Ruan asked him, "Did he co to see you?"
After all, he is his biological son.
But Bao Ye replied bluntly, "No."
"He has no affection for , and I have none for him," Bao Ye said. "In his mind, leaving everything from the Bo family to us back then was already fulfilling his duty."
Jiang Ruan hugged him tighter, her cheek rubbing against his chest, grumbling unhappily, "Hearing you say that, I’ve co to understand what they an that old grudges of one generation are a burden on the next one."
But Bao Ye just laughed and said, "Maybe it’s fate."
Seeing her eyelids drooping, Bao Ye pinched her cheek, "It’s almost four, let’s sleep."
"Move tomorrow’s work to the afternoon, get so extra sleep in the morning. I’ll leave you alone tonight, let you catch up on rest."
But Jiang Ruan said, "No way, I have a schedule in the morning, it’s already all arranged."
"Actually, I’m not that sleepy now, I was quite sleepy before, but you just ssed up and I’m awake now."
She murmured with her eyes closed, Bao Ye raised an eyebrow, leaning down close to her face, dragging his tone, "Oh, really."
"How about we do it again tomorrow morning, then you won’t feel sleepy at work?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened wide.
Jiang Ruan’s startled gaze t the man’s dark eyes, and she quickly shuffled to the side to lie down, not snuggling into his embrace.
"No way, that would be the death of ."
Doing it again in the early morning.
Oh, going to the office with weak legs.
Walking in high heels all wobbly like that.
Not embarrassing enough.
If soone noticed and rumors started spreading, how could she stand it?
Laughter from Bao Ye rang in her ears, Jiang Ruan pouted and turned her head, seeing he was in an excellent mood.
She knew he was teasing her.
Jiang Ruan’s lips curved into a smile.
Holding her as they lay down, Bao Ye raised his hand to turn off the night light, and the bedroom fell into darkness.
Only the sound of their breathing could be heard.
Bao Ye’s voice spoke up, "I have a business trip next week, probably won’t be back for half a month."
Jiang Ruan responded, "Alright."
