Xiu Xi is slightly shorter than Ruan Hao, but both of them, whether in temperant or appearance, are exceptionally outstanding. Walking side by side has a stunning effect.
However, no matter how stunning they are, it clearly doesn’t compare to the shock they received when they saw Ruan Jianguo lift Shu Jiao out of the front passenger seat like a princess.
Especially Xiu Xi, Ruan Jianguo could swear he saw an unidentifiable gleam in his eyes!
Shu Jiao’s face turned red with embarrassnt, and her hand, left to one side, viciously pinched the flesh on Ruan Jianguo’s waist. But unfortunately for her, Ruan Jianguo’s skin was rough and thick, not only failing to hurt him, but instead reddening her own hand.
No matter how thick-skinned Ruan Jianguo was, he felt embarrassed doing this in front of the younger generation, only it was hard to see because of his darker complexion.
He hurriedly put Shu Jiao down and awkwardly explained to the two, "Um, um, your mom was a bit tired, so I thought I’d carry her in..." Before he could finish, Shu Jiao stomped on his foot fiercely, abruptly cutting off his words.
Feeling a bit awkward, Shu Jiao smoothed her hair and smiled as she asked them, "Where have you been? How did you happen to co back together?"
Ruan Hao and Xiu Xi had reached an agreent outside; they planned not to let the family know about it, so they simply replied it was a coincidence.
One side was a bit embarrassed, while the other wanted to keep it hidden. Conveniently, neither wanted to face off here, so after saying this, they tacitly headed inside the house.
When they entered, Jiaojiao had already fallen asleep amidst the competition with her brothers.
Seeing the little kitten snoring away, the brothers dared not make any noise and spoke with caution.
As soon as Shu Jiao entered the room, she first went to check on Jiaojiao and then noticed Ruan Feng and Ruan Lei were also inside, imdiately frowning, "Xiaofeng, Xiaolei, go back to school for classes in the afternoon."
High school courses are much more demanding than elentary school ones; missing a day creates an unbridgeable gap. Not to ntion, they had missed over a week, making it quite troubleso to catch up.
"Okay." They replied in unison, feeling reluctant to leave their little sister but knowing they couldn’t compare to the brothers already in college.
"You two as well, head back to school this afternoon." Next to them, Ruan Wei and Ruan Qun were initially rejoicing, thinking they would get a bit more ti to hold their sister in the afternoon. Little did they know Shu Jiao turned and spoke to them too.
Regarding Shu Jiao, her nephews had great respect, even more so than for their own parents, so naturally, they nodded obediently.
In one go, four brothers were sorted out, leaving Ruan Chi, who was holding Jiaojiao, unable to suppress a smile at the corners of his mouth.
But very soon, that smile faded. The little kitten in his arms was snatched away.
He licked his lips, trying to resist: "She hasn’t slept for long. Xiaoxi, you’d better not disturb her, or she’ll wake up again soon."
"No, she won’t." Xiu Xi replied while soothing Jiaojiao’s little head, and upon slling his scent, Jiaojiao didn’t wake up but instead slept even more soundly, revealing her round, full tummy for Xiu Xi to rub.
"..." Ruan Chi.
This slap truly landed silently!
While the Ruan Family was having dinner, Jiaojiao was asleep, and by the ti she woke up in the afternoon, the four brothers who had to attend school had left, leaving only four sitting on the sofa.
But this ti, because Xiu Xi and Ruan Hao were there to hold the fort, she finally had a peaceful afternoon.
