As the door opened, the aroma of breakfast wafted out.
Gu Zichen’s voice ca from a distance: "Jiaojiao, co quickly for breakfast." Accompanied by Little Potato’s babbling sounds.
"Okay, I’m coming right away." Ruan Jiaojiao replied loudly, then turned to look at Duan Xi beside her, recalling what Shu Jiao had said last night, she whispered to him: "Brother Xi, I’ll go back to the room to change clothes first, you go have breakfast, I’ll be there soon."
But Duan Xi shook his head, following her to the room the Shu Family had set aside for her, which had everything. Ruan Jiaojiao went to the walk-in closet to get a set of casual clothes, then went to the bathroom to change.
When she ca out, she saw Duan Xi still waiting outside, and Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but recall what Shu Jiao had said.
Before going to sleep last night, she indeed reflected on her relationship with Duan Xi, and sohow thought of a quote she saw sowhere: In your world, there are many people, but in my world, there’s only you.
This phrase really couldn’t describe her and Duan Xi any better.
She couldn’t resist reaching out to hold his hand. When he ca over, she said earnestly, "Brother Xi, although there are many people in my world, you are truly the most important one."
Duan Xi heard this, and his gaze towards her suddenly turned intense.
"Humph! Didn’t you say last ti that grandpa is the man you love the most? How co it’s changed?" But before Duan Xi could respond, an unhappy huff ca from a certain old man behind them.
Ruan Jiaojiao turned her head and saw the old man hobbling away angrily with his cane.
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.
She covered her face in exasperation.
When she was younger, she had to put up with her brothers’ "who do you love the most" ga all day long. Now grown up, she didn’t expect to still not escape this ga, only now it’s the old kid joining in.
Ruan Jiaojiao quickly tiptoed to give Duan Xi a kiss on the cheek to appease the young, then jogged over to chase after the old one, sweet-talking incessantly until finally smoothing over the quirky old man before sitting down for breakfast.
"Little Potato, call sister." Little Potato was now three months old, getting cuter by the day, especially with those big eyes, bright like grapes. Ruan Jiaojiao loved him dearly and imdiately took him from Gu Zichen’s arms, planting kisses on his tender cheek.
Next to her, Duan Xi watched as the mouth that had just kissed him was now kissing another man’s face, his eyebrows furrowed, eyes sweeping over. The next second, Little Potato, who had been smiling, burst into tears.
Ruan Jiaojiao was at a bit of a loss, and Duan Xi said, "Maybe he’s hungry, give him back to auntie."
Ruan Jiaojiao was reluctant, but since her little cousin was crying like that, he must be starving, so she had no choice but to hand him back to Gu Zichen. Funny enough, as soon as Little Potato was in Gu Zichen’s arms, he stopped crying and snuggled up to her.
Ruan Jiaojiao thought he was genuinely hungry, but didn’t realize he wasn’t hungry at all — he was just scared, and the only place that gave him a sense of safety was his mother’s embrace.
Gu Zichen was also surprised since she had just fed him after breakfast. Although she wanted to chat more with Ruan Jiaojiao, she couldn’t neglect her son and had to take him back to the room to continue nursing him.
"Little cousin really grows fast," Ruan Jiaojiao sighed, helping Grandpa Shu to sit down, glancing around but not seeing Ruan Hao or Shu Jiao.
