The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

Mu Tan also remembered that her son often mentioned there’s a little girl in the Ruan Family, who is particularly cute. She turned and asked Shu Wen, “Xiaowen, where’s your little niece? Why didn’t I see her this time?”
She turned to Shu Jiao and said, “I’ve heard from Xiaoqiong that the child is pretty and very well-behaved. Why didn’t I see her?”
“…” The supposedly well-behaved and sensible Jiaojiao guiltily stopped fiddling with the candies.
Shu Wen smiled and looked at Ruan Jiaojiao, whose small back had obviously become stiff, and replied with a smile, “She’s not feeling well, so she didn’t come this time.”
This was the agreed-upon explanation in the Ruan Family.
They said she was getting treatment in Beidu when at home, and resting at home when in Beidu. Anyway, nobody paid attention to a small family like the Ruan Family, and it wouldn’t arouse any suspicion.
“I see.” Mu Tan nodded with some regret. She only had Qin Qiong, and she had thought about having a second child before, but her health didn’t allow it. Being injured in an exercise previously made it impossible for her to have more children, so she was destined to only have Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong wasn’t the well-behaved type from a young age, and she couldn’t help but be envious when she saw other families’ little girls.
She felt really regretful upon hearing that Jiaojiao didn’t come.
Once their gaze turned away again, Ruan Jiaojiao gently let out a breath of relief.
To maintain her image as a sweet and adorable child, she refrained from touching the candies again and instead sat ladylike on the table, licking her paws that had touched the candies, as if they still had the fragrance of candy.
She couldn’t really eat them, but licking them and smelling the flavor should be fine, right?
Ruan Hao looked at her with a mischievous expression and picked her up, asking, “Would you like your brother to carry you outside for a stroll?”
Upon hearing that, Ruan Jiaojiao immediately raised her head, “Meow?” Is it okay?
Ruan Hao chuckled, “Of course.”
Beside him, Xiu Xi frowned. He didn’t want Ruan Jiaojiao to go out for a walk, as there were people outside he didn’t want to see, but reality didn’t allow him to refuse because a waiter came in, knocking on the door, inviting him to another private room.
This time, with the Qin and Shu families tying the knot, it could be said that all the notable families in Beidu were present, including the Duan Family.
The one inviting Xiu Xi over was definitely Duan Qianyang, and after hearing it, Shu Jiao said to Xiu Xi, “Xiaoxi, you should go over there then.”
Although many were saying the Duan Family was on the decline, as long as Duan Qianyang was around, no one dared to underestimate the Duan Family. After the Yuan Family incident of snatching people, Shu Jiao didn’t take the initiative to associate with the Duan Family, but she didn’t want to waste a relationship that was offered.
Xiu Xi knew the importance of interpersonal relationships, and he didn’t intend to refuse. He wanted to take Ruan Jiaojiao over with him, but before he could touch her, she waved her paw and rejected him.
“Meow!” Brother Xiu, you go by yourself, I’m not going. It’s too much trouble to explain later.
If Xiu Xi went to see Duan Qianyang with a cat in his arms, it would definitely attract attention, and there was no need to cause such trouble.
Xiu Xi was a bit unhappy but couldn’t bear to force her, so he went out first by himself.
After Xiu Xi left, Ruan Jiaojiao obediently nestled in the private room and played for a while, but finally found it somewhat boring, so she let Ruan Hao carry her out for a stroll.
The hotel was large, with small gardens at both the front and back, but since guests occasionally came in from the front, Ruan Hao carried her to the backyard.
They hadn’t walked more than a few steps when they heard someone calling from behind, “Brother Ruan, Brother Ruan.”
It was a clear and melodious female voice.
