Prosecutor vs. Minister: A Battle of Wits-Chapter 169 - 167: Bao Nan Passed the 1st Round

Hearing his words, Si Yuan Yang gave a self-mocking smile, his eyes starting to redden, "Yeah, she likes Bao Fuye..."

No matter how hard he tried, she would never look at him.

Seeing him like this, Gu Qize shook his head helplessly, "Big brother, why do you bother..."

Si Yuan Yang collapsed on the ground, his gaze gradually distant, "Why bother... Actually, just like Ah Nan likes Jiang Tong, I love her deeply. Sometimes love doesn’t need a reason; just one look, and you know if you love her."

For all his long-windedness, Gu Qize had never experienced this kind of feeling.

At this moment, Jiang Tong, holding Bao Nan’s arm, walked slowly towards them.

"What’s going on here?"

She curiously blinked her eyes, looking at Si Yuan Yang lying on the ground.

This matter concerned the internal conflict of the Bao Family, and Gu Qize knew Bao Nan definitely didn’t want her to know about it.

So he quickly pulled Si Yuan Yang up, waved his hand, and said, "It’s nothing, my big brother is just drunk. I’m taking him home now."

To prevent Si Yuan Yang from spouting nonsense, Gu Qize covered his mouth and quickly made his escape.

This left Jiang Tong standing foolishly in place, startled by Gu Qize’s sudden actions.

"It’s nothing, don’t worry about the two of them, they just like to mess around like this."

Bao Nan’s cold eyes flickered slightly, ultimately choosing not to tell her the truth.

Because the conflicts between families are really too complicated...

Especially with Bao Fuye, he didn’t want Jiang Tong to get too involved.

If she got hurt, he might never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"..."

After a while.

A commotion came from the staircase entrance, it was Tang Lilan supporting Tang Yuanqing as they came down.

Seeing the dense crowd in the hall, Tang Lilan, with a polite smile on his face, said to everyone, "Thank you all very much for taking the time to attend my father’s eightieth birthday celebration. I am deeply grateful."

Although it was just a short sentence, a deafening applause erupted from the crowd.

Tang Lilan leaned closer to Tang Yuanqing and said softly, "Dad, let’s go down and cut the cake."

Although Tang Yuanqing was very resistant to such formalities, he ultimately didn’t want to dampen his mood.

And was willing to join his youngest son in the bustle.

As they passed by Jiang Tong, he glanced at Bao Nan next to her.

Bao Nan noticed him looking and a faint smile appeared on his face.

And this faint smile actually improved his impression in Tang Yuanqing’s eyes.

Tang Yuanqing nodded with satisfaction, his appearance was excellent.

Moreover, he wasn’t stone-faced, even greeting the elders with a smile. In this way, Tongtong being with him shouldn’t be too dull.

This was the first test.

He figured he could let him pass.

Seeing Tang Yuanqing’s approving look, though his face remained expressionless,

Bao Nan’s heart was already bursting with joy, gently shaking Jiang Tong’s hand.

"What’s wrong with you?" Jiang Tong turned her head slightly, looking at him in surprise.

She couldn’t understand, just a moment ago, this dog man was still looking sullen and unhappy.

Why did he suddenly change so much now?

"Nothing, just very happy."

Bao Nan smiled lightly, his tone cheerful.

What in this world could make him happier than getting Tang Yuanqing’s approval?

That’s why he was very happy now.

Tang Yuanqing agreeing meant that he was not far from bringing Tongtong home as his bride.
