CHAPTER 281: CHAPTER 281: BAO FAMILY’S TABOO

The next morning, Su Ruanruan and Bao Mingyuan went to the Dijing Group together.

Stepping onto Dijing premises once again.

Everything was different.

Su Ruanruan had become Bao Mingyuan’s confidant.

Those who had thought she fell to rock bottom witnessed her maneuverings.

Each one of them shuddered in fear!

Su Ruanruan didn’t bully others with her power, but merely smiled softly.

Bao Mingyuan gave her an office on the 58th floor, for her to use as she pleased.

After all, she was still attending the Zhongjiang Academy of Fine Arts.

Besides, he had also provided her with two capable secretaries to take care of her affairs.

Such favoritism was unique.

At noon, Bao Mingyuan personally came to invite her to the restaurant for lunch, so that others would know—

Miss Su was back!

His relationship with Ruanruan was restored, as close as a father and daughter!

Inside the restaurant, the old staff, Zhao and a few others, were sitting at a distance.

"Alas! Even if she isn’t the second son’s wife, the love as the eldest daughter-in-law is the same."

"Tsk! Director Bao clearly can’t tell that now he dotes on her as a daughter!"

"Can’t tell? Director Bao is too invested! Now there are many who want to dote on Miss Su, poor Director Bao!"

...

Bao Mingyuan heard these murmurs.

His old face couldn’t stand it!

Then there was Su Ruanruan.

Her expression remained indifferent...

Bao Mingyuan was heavily burdened with thoughts, feeling that he wouldn’t receive forgiveness. In the afternoon, he actually fell ill.

His high fever would not subside.

The company doctor came to see him, but his fever didn’t abate after several hours.

The doctor told his secretary, "Director Bao has been overworking and heartbroken these days. He’s been holding up until now, but it’s just that he can’t bear it anymore and has collapsed."

Others didn’t know, but his secretary was aware of Bao Mingyuan’s thoughts.

She went to ask Bao Jingyan and Su Ruanruan to come and visit him.

Unfortunately, Su Ruanruan happened to bump into Bao Jingyan when she arrived.

His gaze was deep as he stared at her.

Su Ruanruan didn’t speak and followed behind him.

The two of them, one in front and the other behind, entered Bao Mingyuan’s resting room, and the secretary opened the door for them.

Bao Mingyuan was sleeping groggily, murmuring in his mouth: "Weilian... Weilian... I’m sorry."

The secretary did not dare to overhear such private words and quickly exited.

The spacious office and resting room now only contained Su Ruanruan and Bao Jingyan...

Su Ruanruan looked up at Bao Jingyan.

His face showed restrained anger, veins on his forehead bulging.

He was suppressing raging anger!

Su Ruanruan was in a cold war with him, but at this moment, she took the initiative to hold his hand.

She gently called out to him, "Bao Jingyan."

Her palm was slightly cool, and it felt comforting in his grasp.

Bao Jingyan’s body jolted.

He slowly backed her against the door, kissing her almost madly.

His entire being was like possessed by a nightmare, scorching hot, losing all reason.

Su Ruanruan went limp in his arms, yet she did not shout out.

She let Bao Jingyan vent his desires.

After some time, Bao Jingyan came to his senses.

He slowly nibbled at her soft red lips, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why didn’t you push me away?"

Su Ruanruan silently pushed him away and looked down to quietly straighten her clothes.

Bao Jingyan kept watching her.

She went to take Bao Mingyuan’s temperature, and later fetched silver needles to perform acupuncture on him.

About an hour later, Bao Mingyuan’s temperature went down.

Su Ruanruan let out a sigh of relief, washed her hands, and walked out.

Bao Jingyan was no longer there.

The secretary was waiting outside and hurried to greet her when she came out.

Su Ruanruan said, "The fever has gone down."

As she was about to leave, the secretary suddenly stopped her: "Miss Su."

Su Ruanruan softly asked, "Is there anything else?"

The secretary went to close the door of the resting room, then came back, and said in a lowered voice, "Miss Su, I know it’s not my place to say this! But Director Bao’s concern for you comes from the heart; he has been very upset and guilt-ridden these days! He has never been like this before."

She earnestly continued, "Could you treat him a little better?"

Su Ruanruan glanced at the door panel and whispered, "The things that Director Bao truly can’t let go of—didn’t you hear them just now? Isn’t that so?"

The secretary was at a loss for words.

That was a taboo of the Bao Family!
