This was Ronan's first direct response today to Mister Bai's probing.
Mister Bai froze, then replied hesitantly two seconds later. "Didn't we agree not to bring her up...?"
If your emotional response hadn't suddenly lit up, I might have believed you.
Ronan sighed. "I'm not trying to interfere in Doctor Bai's private affairs either. But there's something that has already been reported to the President and Her Majesty, yet apparently hasn't spread?"
"Mm, what is it?"
"It's about former Star Alliance Committee Vice Chairman Bai Hao going to Xi City... He happened to arrive just as Gao Wenfu and Master Demu were promoting the 'Great Parallelogram' and the 'Trapezoidal Block.' Given the situation, he's standing too close, which makes his position rather delicate. He needs to be watched carefully. This former vice chairman is Wang Yu's maternal grandfather?"
Mister Bai stared at Ronan and slowly nodded. "Yes."
Ronan lifted his steaming teacup and let the warmth waft over his nose. "Doctor Bai is now clearly the Martial Emperor's spokesperson, and you're also an important member of our Xia City Branch. In such a complicated situation, shouldn't the establishment of an external relationship as extremely sensitive and important as marriage be handled more cautiously?"
This time, Ronan needed no other means to see that Mister Bai's eyes were visibly shining. Yet he still seemed conflicted. "On her side, I really..."
But halfway through, Mister Bai came to his senses. At this point, as her father, he had to state his position first no matter what. "I have always opposed her relationship with Wang Yu. It's bizarre and makes no sense. I've already made my opposition clear to her, and it will remain the same in the future."
You don't need to talk to me like you're filing a work report...
