Mrs. Bao frowned: "Some things are better left unsaid."
"Mom, are you saying that you're not unhappy?" Bao Jingyuan asked, giggling.
Mrs. Bao felt utterly helpless.
She said to Xia Minglan: "Jingyuan is thoughtless! But it's true that Ruanruan doesn't get along with her; that child Ruanruan... is a bit too sensitive."
Xia Minglan was just about to offer some words of comfort.
Bao Ziqi pushed his chair away.
His face turned sour, and he immediately left the table.
Mrs. Bao was stunned.
Xia Minglan felt somewhat embarrassed.
…
Bao Ziqi sat on a bench in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
Bao Mingyuan came over and sat beside him,
offering a cigarette.
Bao Ziqi shook his head.
"What? You regret it?" Bao Mingyuan patted his son's shoulder and sat down.
Bao Ziqi turned his head.
For a moment, he really wanted to reveal the relationship between Bao Jingyan and Su Ruanruan, but the words choked back down as they reached his lips.
