Chapter 834: Is There a Royal Succession in Your Family?
Su Ruanruan was well aware.She said calmly, "The grand young madam of the Huo Family must know that I am acquainted with Master Yan from City B. But what you may not know is that Master Yan and the He family have a truly close relationship!"
The grand young madam of the Huo Family’s eyes sparkled: "I know He family’s Li Gege is a person of integrity, she will definitely help with this matter."
Su Ruanruan no longer dared to underestimate her.
She smiled slightly.
The grand young madam of the Huo Family understood then that they had reached a consensus.
She whispered earnestly, "All I want is to give birth to a son, nothing more!"
Su Ruanruan brought over two glasses of champagne and smiled, "The grand young madam will surely have her wish fulfilled!"
They clinked glasses, forming an alliance.
The grand young madam of the Huo Family quietly departed.
Su Ruanruan found Bao Jingyan and accompanied him to socialize, naturally encountering Xishan’s wife as well.
The second young madam of the Huo Family seemed almost like a hostess.
She appraised Su Ruanruan’s beauty and smiled modestly: "I know Mr. Bao also wants to acquire that piece of land, but you’ve seen, Miss Su, my ties with the Xu family run deep, and I’m determined to secure that land!"
Su Ruanruan was very graceful.
She said, "If the second young madam of the Huo Family secures it, then it’s due to her skill, and I concede defeat!"
The second young madam of the Huo Family slightly raised her chin.
She pointed at Su Ruanruan, with cold eyes full of provocation!
Though young, Su Ruanruan remained composed as she raised her glass and smiled warmly.
At that moment, Bao Jingyan came over.
He embraced Su Ruanruan, "Who are you speaking with?"
Su Ruanruan leaned lightly on his shoulder, her beautiful eyes smiling, "Ah, it’s the second young madam of the Huo Family."
The second young madam of the Huo Family, feeling dignified, adjusted her shawl, waiting for this handsome gentleman to flatter her.
But Bao Jingyan merely nodded coolly.
And that was it!
He tenderly told his wife, "I have bid farewell to Mr. Xu."
Su Ruanruan nodded and left with him together.
The second young madam of the Huo Family was furious!
No one in Guangzhou had ever treated her with such disregard!
Once she secured the land, she intended to watch Bao Jingyan beg her for it!
...
The night was enticing.
Su Ruanruan and Bao Jingyan strolled through the Xu family courtyard.
In their ears, they could faintly hear the sounds of Western music, which added a touch of romance.
Su Ruanruan took Bao Jingyan’s arm and said, "Once things here wrap up, let’s return to City B and host a banquet for some fun."
Bao Jingyan teased, "Even without a banquet, we can have fun every day."
Su Ruanruan glanced up at him, eyes coquettish!
Bao Jingyan felt a stirring in his heart and leaned down to kiss her...
But Su Ruanruan stopped him: "Listen."
Bao Jingyan ceased his antics and listened together with her to the sounds opposite them.
It seemed to be a young couple, their voices youthful.
[Jiliang, my wedding garments are finished!]
[The craftsman hired by Mrs. Xishan is the best from the south!]
[Jiliang, why aren’t you saying anything?]
...
A male voice replaced hers.
[Chengcheng... My dad had our fortunes read, and he thinks we’re lacking some dragon energy!]
[How about we postpone the wedding?]
The girl started to cry softly.
Her little fists hit her fiancé, blaming him for being ineffective.
That young gentleman was helpless, "In my family, my dad makes all the decisions! Chengcheng, bear with it!"
The girl continued to sob: "Where am I supposed to find dragon energy?"
...
Su Ruanruan and Bao Jingyan exchanged a glance, both bursting into laughter.
Bao Jingyan joked, "Are they vying for a royal title in the groom’s family?"
Su Ruanruan held his hand, amused: "You men are spoiled rotten!"
Bao Jingyan intended to retort.
Su Ruanruan halted.
Her slender finger rested on his lips, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wit: "Their family’s superstition gives me an opportunity!"
Bao Jingyan lightly bit her slender finger, deliberately teasing her.
Su Ruanruan was not annoyed; instead, she tiptoed to whisper a few words in his ear.
