Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248: Don’t Steal My Brother Xu (7)
Xiu Xi has been with her for so many years, his shadow is everywhere in her life. Ruan Jiaojiao dare not imagine what she would become if he were really taken away.
Whenever Ruan Jiaojiao thinks about it now, she can’t help but feel her nose tingle, and her eyes redden.
Xiu Xi reached out and pulled her behind him, looked down at her, and softly reassured, "I’m not leaving, no one can take me away."
When he looked up at Duan Qianyang again, his gaze was not so friendly, "I will not leave, nor am I interested in your things. We’re going back to school, you do as you please."
After speaking, he pulled Ruan Jiaojiao away. This time, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t stop him, and was led by him out of the restaurant all the way.
Duan Qianyang also didn’t stop them, he just sighed softly inside the private room.
A few minutes later, he came out of the private room, went to the front desk to pay the bill, but was told Ruan Jiaojiao had already settled it. He couldn’t help but shake his head again.
In all these decades, this was the first time a young girl treated him to a meal, he didn’t insist further. After leaving the restaurant, he got into the back seat of the car, and said to the driver in front, "Donate a library to the school in the Young Master’s name, and make sure it’s done by the end of the month."
"Yes," the driver respectfully agreed.
As the driver started the car, Duan Qianyang continued to watch the street outside, seeing the people walking in twos and threes, his mindset completely different from when he arrived.
This place is filled with warmth, even a young girl is so resilient, it’s no wonder he cannot bear to leave. When Wen Yu came here back then, did she think the same way? So she had a second child for that man and remained forever buried in this place.
"Cancel tomorrow’s schedule and head straight back to Beidu." Duan Qianyang finally said, closing his eyes.
He didn’t have Xiu Xi’s all-or-nothing determination, nor his persistence, so he had no one to blame for reaching this point... Losing means it’s lost in the end...
——
When Ruan Jiaojiao was leaving, she greeted a waiter and asked them to put that bill on the Ruan Family’s account, to be billed to Ruan Jianguo at the end of the month.
As for why not just sign a waiver, she didn’t want to increase her fourth uncle’s workload at the end of the month.
She and Xiu Xi walked out hand in hand, looked down at her electronic watch, realizing it was already past eight, by the time they returned to school, it would be nine o’clock.
"Brother Xiu, why don’t we head back directly?" she asked.
"Okay." Xiu Xi nodded, his usually unusually cold voice seemed especially gentle under the night sky.
Ruan Jiaojiao turned to look at him, although he had clearly stated he wouldn’t leave, she still felt uneasy.
She couldn’t help but ask again, "Brother Xiu, I refused for you, will you be angry?"
"No, I’m very happy, particularly happy." Xiu Xi said, his green eyes exceptionally captivating under the night sky.
Others might find it frightening, but Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t.
She couldn’t help but smile as well, patting her small chest and promising, "Brother Xiu, don’t worry, our family will prosper in the future, our living conditions will not be worse than the Duan Family’s."
Xiu Xi didn’t say anything, just tenderly rubbed her little head.
She didn’t know that what she just said, her plea, brought him more joy than any living condition could.
He now felt like he was soaking in a honey pot, since leaving the restaurant, the smile on his face had never faded.
