"What nonsense are you talking about!" As soon as she heard him bringing up Duan Xi, Ruan Jiaojiao got angry: "What does it have to do with Brother Xi? In my first year of high school, I got seriously ill and took a six-month break from school. Brother Xi also took a six-month break. Who would hide your letters."
Jiang Xun didn’t expect Ruan Jiaojiao to get so upset, his eyes darkened, and he didn’t speak for a mont.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him not speaking, and could only say, "I really don’t know that you wrote to , and I haven’t seen them."
Just at that mont, Ruan Hao ca out after changing clothes, and Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t want to deal with him, so she ran over imdiately.
The pants Ruan Hao was wearing fit him well, making his long legs look even longer and straighter. Ruan Hao didn’t change out of them; he wore them straight out.
After buying the pants, the two of them left the departnt store. The watch was too expensive; in this era, you can’t use a card to buy things, and it’s not appropriate to carry this much cash around, so earlier Ruan Hao had given the clerk his business card and asked her to deliver it directly to the hotel. Ruan Hao had already inford the hotel’s finance departnt.
In the car, Ruan Jiaojiao complained to Ruan Hao about what Jiang Xun had just said.
"I don’t even know why he wrote to out of the blue. I didn’t receive them, yet he suspects Brother Xi." Ruan Jiaojiao really felt that given their current relationship, it hadn’t reached the level of letter writing, right?
While Ruan Jiaojiao was complaining and venting, Ruan Hao stayed silent, just listening and occasionally responding with an "Mm" as a reply.
The little girl fell asleep after complaining for a while, and Ruan Hao draped his suit jacket over her and continued driving ho.
When they got ho, Duan Xi had already returned. As Ruan Hao’s car entered the courtyard, seeing Ruan Jiaojiao sleeping in the passenger seat, he imdiately ca over to carefully carry her out.
Seeing him reach in and noticing how Ruan Jiaojiao instinctively snuggled into Duan Xi’s arms, Ruan Hao said in a low voice: "Xiaoxi, co to the study later."
Duan Xi glanced at him and nodded.
Ruan Jiaojiao woke up after dinner. By the ti she woke up, the watch they’d bought had already been delivered by the hotel. She inspected it happily, ensured everything was fine, and then put it in the drawer.
The next day.
Duan Xi’s eighteenth birthday arrived as scheduled.
"Longevity noodles, may you live a long life, healthy and happy." Ruanlin got up early in the morning to prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for Duan Xi, placed it in front of him, and said with a warm smile.
"Thank you, Grandma." Duan Xi stood up to take the bowl of noodles, glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao, then picked up his chopsticks to serve so into her bowl.
"That’s for you, there’s plenty more here." Ruan Lei ca out from the back kitchen carrying a big bowl of noodles and quickly said when he saw the scene.
"It’s not the sa," Duan Xi replied. Because it was his birthday today, the noodles were handmade by Ruanlin, while the others had store-bought noodles. Handmade noodles were chewier and tasted much better, not to ntion his longevity he wanted to share with her.
The other mbers of the Ruan Family saw this and didn’t say anything, even Ruan Dakuan tacitly approved.
"..." Ruan Lei. Well, I guess he was being extra.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t refuse either, smiling as she ate the noodles that Duan Xi had given her. The family ate and chatted, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Since the dinner arranged with the Duan Family was in the evening, there was plenty of ti. After breakfast, Ruan Jiaojiao rembered that the apartnt near Qing University hadn’t been cleaned yet, and with only a few days before school started, she took Duan Xi, Ruan Lei, Lu Zishu, and Qin Yue along to clean up.
