Jiaojiao, thinking about having nine brothers and two sworn brothers, couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
"What are you sighing for at such a young age?" Ruan Hao asked with amusent.
Jiaojiao looked at him wistfully: "Big brother, what if your future wife doesn’t like ?"
Jiaojiao would never admit it, but she was indeed a bit jealous. Her big brother, so good, and who knows which lucky girl would get to marry him.
"Nonsense," Ruan Hao frowned, his expression unusually serious, "No one could dislike you."
"I’m not RMB, how could everyone possibly like ?"
"..." Ruan Hao was silent for two seconds, then reached out to ruffle her hair, "Then big brother won’t get married, how about that?"
As it stood, Ruan Hao indeed had no intention of getting married. Before drawing lots, he thought of following the family’s wishes, getting married to soone, and spending a respectful life together.
But after drawing lots, thinking about how Jiaojiao’s life was different from others, he dismissed this idea. Bringing troubles upon himself was fine, but he couldn’t drag his sister down with him.
In the Ruan Family, Jiaojiao was the bond holding the whole family together. If anything happened to her, the entire family would fall apart.
Ruan Hao thought very clearly; he was born indifferent, and what little emotion he had was all given to his family. If that was the case, he’d rather be alone. If their parents wanted a grandchild to enjoy, there was still Ruan Jie.
Jiaojiao didn’t know that Ruan Hao truly had this idea, wanting to be single his whole life. Hearing his words, she couldn’t help but laugh: "Big brother, if your future wife finds out, she might cry."
Ruan Hao saw her laughing happily and smiled along, then changed the subject.
By the ti they arrived at the departnt store, it was already past four in the afternoon. It was still sumr, and especially in the afternoon, the ground felt like an oven after a day under the sun, so there weren’t many people shopping.
The current departnt store was completely different from before, mostly consisting of individual counters with imported and pricey items.
Jiaojiao, following Ruan Hao, looked through several counters but was still unsatisfied.
Because she had already given all the similar items from these counters as gifts.
As the sky grew darker, Jiaojiao still hadn’t selected anything, becoming anxious.
Ruan Hao wasn’t often ho, so he rarely attended Duan Xi’s past birthdays; he didn’t know what Jiaojiao had given before. Seeing her worried expression, he led her to a watch store and suggested, "Xiaoxi has grown up. Given his status, he shouldn’t have just one watch. Maybe you can choose another one for him. Look at this one on my wrist, how about getting the sa brand for him?"
Jiaojiao followed his gaze to see the watch. Ruan Hao was still in his white work shirt; to show her the watch, he had loosened his cufflinks, revealing a long and strong wrist. Unlike the more tanned Ruan Jie, Ruan Hao inherited Shu Jiao’s fair skin, making the brown leather strap watch look particularly good on him. With the sleeves fastened, he looked reserved, but with them undone, there was an inexplicable sense of charm.
Although the person before her was her own brother, Jiaojiao couldn’t help but admire the wrist extended in front of her, then look at his gracefully handso face, falling into a lovestruck daze despite herself.
