Jiaojiao was truly stunned when she saw Duan Qianyang before her.
She felt as if she was looking at a grown-up version of Xiu Xi.
She couldnât even think of any flattering words to put on him, feeling that once those words were used on him, they would make him seem vulgar.
Their arrival immediately drew the attention of the people in the office. Duan Qianyang was the first to look over, and when he saw Xiu Xi holding Jiaojiaoâs hand, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Jiaojiao inexplicably felt a bit embarrassed, as if she had done something unspeakable and was caught.
She felt that she shouldnât be so intimate with Xiu Xi in front of Duan Qianyang, after all, they had grown up.
She blushed and tried to shake off Xiu Xiâs hand, but couldnât, and instead, Xiu Xi tightened his grip in dissatisfaction.
Then, they entered the office holding hands like that.
The principal and school leaders in the office were all familiar with Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi. The former is Shu Jiaoâs daughter, the daughter of their new teaching buildingâs investor, and the latter is a key candidate for their first-year students, likely to be their next Qing University student!
However, they had never expected that this key candidate would be the son of Duan Qianyang?
But they clearly remembered that in the enrollment information, he was noted as an adopted child of the Ruan Family, and one has the surname Duan, and the other surname Xiu, how could they be father and son?
Yet, no matter how confused and curious they were, the school leaders and the principal did not linger to be an annoyance. Once Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi arrived, they left first.
In the large principalâs office, only the three of them were left.
Jiaojiao, a bit embarrassed, looked at Duan Qianyang and called out, "Uncle Duan."
"Youâre Jiaojiao, right? Long time no see." Duan Qianyang looked at the somewhat shy young girl with a rare smile.
"Yes." Jiaojiao nodded, looking at him, feeling that Duan Qianyang looked even better when smiling. Most importantly, she could really see Xiu Xiâs shadow in Duan Qianyang.
In her previous life, Xiu Xi was never recognized by the Duan Family. He could develop a world-destroying virus, which surely made him very smart, but from childhood to adulthood, he was always like an invisible person with little presence.
The memories she received only remembered him as handsome, but nothing else.
She thought, if the Xiu Xi from the previous life was like this naive wolf here, perhaps Jiang Xun wouldnât have mattered, or Wa Yiting would have been blind.
But, thinking this far, she secretly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, in the previous life, her naive wolf hadnât come, because she didnât want him to have any relation to Wa Yiting, even just imagining it was unacceptable.
Compared to Jiaojiaoâs friendliness, Xiu Xiâs attitude was somewhat cold.
In his mind, though he was using this body, he had also saved Duan Qianyangâs life, so it was a fair exchange. Even the request for help he made was set with agreed conditions, which he would repay in the future.
Besides that, he didnât want any entanglements with the Duan Family, including the benefits Duan Qianyang mentioned he would receive if he followed him. He didnât need any of those either.
He came to this world purely for Jiaojiao, his cat, and nothing else, nor did he want any ties, even with the family of this body.
