Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Three Naive Ghosts (3)_1 Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Three Naive Ghosts (3)_1 “Why are you crying?”

Shu Jiao turned away, giving a bitter laugh, “I know, you’ve never believed in all these years.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever not trusted you?” Ruan Jie beca anxious.

“Then why don’t you let finish speaking before you start shouting at !”

“I… I…” Ruan Jie wanted to say he hadn’t shouted, but recalling his indeed quite intense reaction, he silently swallowed his words.

With tears in her eyes, Shu Jiao looked at him and said softly, “When I married you back then, what was my status? You dared to take with such a status. Now, I understand what’s in your mind. Indeed, this money is from my family. You don’t want to use it because you’re afraid my father will look down upon you. But why can’t you consider another way to think about it?”

“This money is useless just sitting here. Going out to borrow is still borrowing; think of it as borrowing from my father, from our daughter, with the goal of making our family life better. Why can’t it be used then? Or is it because you feel… we are two separate families, and that’s why you don’t want to… ”

“Alright, alright, I’ll use it. Isn’t that okay? Stop crying, alright?” Even if Ruan Jie was a little bit reluctant, how could he say anything else in the face of his wife’s persuasion?

“Jie, I know what you’re thinking. You dared to take with my status back then, and I am still the sa now. No matter what my family situation is, I am still your wife…”

Listening to Shu Jiao’s soft voice, Ruan Jie felt his heart lting.

He was never one for persistence, and now he had completely lost his bottom line, only thinking that whatever his wife said was right.

Looking at Shu Jiao’s reddened eyes, he thought how beautiful his wife was, and unconsciously, he leaned down… But before he could reach his wife, he heard the door behind them slam open.

“Dad! The wages you promised …” Ruan Jie was howling with his head thrown back, not expecting to walk in on such a shocking scene, instantly covered his eyes, turned, and ran, shouting as he went, “I didn’t see anything, I saw nothing!”

Ruan Jie was almost driven mad with irritation and before he could say anything, he felt another pair of eyes staring at them somberly.

“…” Ruan Jie.

“…” Xiu Xi.

An adult and a child, just staring at each other.

Shu Jiao, already feeling awkward, had pushed Ruan Jie away and pretended to be tidying things up.

Coming out from the Ruanlin family’s room, Ruan Jiaojiao saw the two staring at each other and curiously asked, “Dad, Brother Xi, what are you guys doing?”

“Nothing, hahaha…” Ruan Jie laughed, feeling incredibly awkward, scratched his head, and walked out, saying he was going to wash his feet, completely forgetting he had just finished taking a bath.

Ruan Jie truly felt embarrassed; this was already the second ti Xiu Xi had caught them. In reality, being caught wasn’t a big deal, but it was the kid’s penetrating gaze that made him feel so guilty, as if he had done sothing terribly wrong.

“…” Ruan Jiaojiao, shrugged her little shoulders; the world of adults was a mystery to her.

However, thinking about the upcoming winter vacation, Ruan Jiaojiao ran to Shu Jiao’s side and ntioned the plans she and Xiu Xi had to skip a grade again.

“Jiaojiao, isn’t that too fast? You’re only six years old.” Even by nominal age, she was only seven. At this rate, she would graduate from elentary school at just eight, which is too young. Middle school requires boarding, and she was worried that her daughter was too young to take care of herself.
