The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s Chapter 1296: The Forgotten Eighth Kid (8)

He frowned and asked, "Ajie, how’s Jiaojiao really doing?"

"Huh? Jiaojiao..." Ruan Jie glanced at the little cat who was furious after his teasing, her fur bristling, clawing at her tiny kitten self, laughing heartily: "She’s fine, um, but she’s still very weak and can’t see anyone yet."

This was the agreed explanation within the family, shared among the three uncles and two aunts.

The matter was outrageously sensational; the fewer people aware of it, the better, to avoid further complications.

They hadn’t intended to hide this from Lu Xian and the others. Zhao Li knew about it, so whether to tell or not was entirely up to her. Since she hadn’t said anything, he didn’t add anything either.

Lu Xian seriously observed his expression, seeing that he didn’t seem deranged or forcedly cheerful, he breathed a sigh of relief but felt sowhat uneasy.

A strange feeling, as if they had recovered too quickly. After all, even he hadn’t fully gotten over it yet and couldn’t comprehend how the Ruan family managed to be in such a state.

But there was nothing he could say about it, he only awkwardly said, "Good to hear, good to hear." Then, thinking of sothing else, he added, "When are you going back to school?"

"I haven’t planned that yet; I want to spend more ti with family." Having his lost sister back after all this ti, Ruan Jie wasn’t willing to leave, wanting to stay longer.

Lu Xian thought he wanted to accompany the yet-to-recover Ruan Jiaojiao. Hearing this, the unease in his heart finally dissipated.

"What about you? When are you going back?" Ruan Jie asked back, glanced towards the kitchen, and quietly asked him, "Have you told Auntie and Uncle about your girlfriend?"

"No." Lu Xian shook his head, his tone indifferent, seemingly unwilling to discuss this matter.

Ruan Jie shrugged and didn’t probe further.

anwhile, Lu Xian’s gaze was unconsciously attracted to the little kitten in Ruan Jie’s palm, the tiny creature was irresistibly eye-catching.

Growing up together, he of course knew Ruan Jie’s personality. He wasn’t soone who particularly loved animals, so why was he acting so strangely, doting on a little cat?

"Hey, you’ve hugged her long enough, right? Isn’t it my turn now?" Ruan Lei ran over, and without a second thought, tried to grab Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jie didn’t want to let go, clutching Ruan Jiaojiao under her armpits, while Ruan Lei tugged at her hind legs. Although they were careful not to hurt her, they still aggravated her greatly.

What did these two troublemakers think she was, a toy?

She kicked her legs, but unfortunately, that strength couldn’t affect the two of them at all. Eventually, her eyes rolled, and her little head drooped as if all her strength had suddenly drained away.

She was small and soft, suddenly slackening her head low, appearing lifeless, which frightened the two of them.

Ruan Lei imdiately released his grip, and Ruan Jie turned pale with fear, cradling her in his arms: "Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao?"

At this mont, the pretend-dead Ruan Jiaojiao abruptly lifted her head, flashed her little claws to swipe at the big black face before her, and before he could react, she wiggled her little behind and wriggled out of his hand onto the sofa, scurrying on her paws towards Ruan Hao, who had just arrived, and was gently scooped into his arms.
