She originally said this to remind Qin Qiong to be careful, but Qin Qiong only caught the words âbroke his wristâ and his eyes lit up with excitement as he cheerfully said, "Who did this? This is just so... ahem... really inappropriate." Under Shu Wenâs increasingly stern gaze, he hurriedly changed his tune.
Over here, Ruan Jianguo instinctively shrank his neck under Shu Jiaoâs gaze, but Shu Jiao didnât say anything. She just glanced at him and looked away, instead thoughtfully eyeing Xiu Xi, who was holding Ruan Jiaojiao without much change in expression.
This kind of tactic seemed more like something Xiu Xi would do.
She frowned, even though her impression of Jiang Bin wasnât good now, she definitely didnât want anything to happen to Xiu Xi.
But with so many people around, she didnât ask.
Meanwhile, Shu Wen remembered something and clarified to Qin Qiong, "I wasnât feeling sorry for him."
"I know, youâre feeling sorry for me." Qin Qiong said with glee, being impossibly smug.
Shu Wen couldnât even retort when she saw his smug look, which made Qin Qiong laugh even more joyfully, his mouth almost stretching to his ears, looking particularly infuriating.
At least Shu Lang thought he looked quite hateful at this moment.
Ruan Jiaojiao nestled in Xiu Xiâs arms, didnât think much of it. She was amazed at the whirlwind from stormy to calm between Shu Wen and Qin Qiong only taking a few seconds.
Since everyone got up a bit late today, the Shu Family had an early lunch, starting before eleven thirty.
Ruan Jiaojiao had already eaten and drunk her fill, so while others were having their meal, she sat on a small horse stool with a blanket laid on it to play. The stool was meant for toddlers around two years old, but for Ruan Jiaojiao, it was like a giant chair. She could roll around on it a couple of times, and with the plush carpeted floor, safety wasnât a concern.
While the Ruan Family ate, she crawled up and down on the little stool, playing happily.
The Ruan Family watched her fondly as they ate, their gazes filled with warmth and indulgence.
Ruan Jiaojiao played for quite a while, and when she got tired, she lay on her back against the raised horseâs back, nibbling the tip of her tail.
Ruan Jiaojiao knew what she was doing was a bit childish, but being in this catâs body, she couldnât help but be drawn to cat-like behaviors. She enjoyed playing with her tail, climbing, and sometimes, she even suspected that if there was a ball in front of her, she wouldnât be able to resist chasing after it!
While playing with the tip of her tail and watching the Ruan Family eat, despite those three unsightly people, Ruan Hao and Xiu Xi were exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Ruan Hao, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something.
It seemed she received two gifts yesterday.
"Meow?" Big brother, where did you put the gifts Jiaojiao received yesterday?
She needed to check what Yu Rou had sent her and also what Jiang Xun had sent, so she could ask Shu Jiao to help her send a return gift.
She didnât remember much about her past with Jiang Xun, but just from the Ruan Family and Xiu Xiâs descriptions, she didnât want to be too entangled with him. If the gift he sent was valuable, she would definitely send back something of equal value.
Xiu Xi was just picking up some food when he heard her question and his hand paused for a moment.
"Meow?" Xiu brother, please help me ask big brother.
