Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134: Could Die at Any Moment (5)
“You don’t have any important classes this morning anyway, so why don’t you go home? After lunch, take a nap, and then Daddy will take you back, okay?” Ruan Jianguo was still negotiating.
Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to refuse, but Xiu Xi cut her off: “Let’s go home first.” He was addressing Ruan Jianguo, and after speaking, he turned to Ruan Jiaojiao: “We’ll go home for lunch first, then come back to school. Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you.”
“Xiaoxi?!” This time it was Ruan Jianguo who became anxious.
He was against this idea.
No one can accept the idea that they might die at any moment, especially not his precious treasure, she’s still so young. What if she gets scared?
But Xiu Xi had his reasons.
Before, he was also scared of frightening her, so he didn’t dare to speak, but now he realized danger is indeed everywhere, just like Ruan Jiaojiao said, she could completely choke to death on a sip of water…
Rather than that, it would be better to tell her, at least she’d be able to be a bit more careful.
“What are you guys whispering about?” Ruan Jiaojiao smiled, but it was a forced smile, her heart heavy.
Xiu Xi didn’t answer, he just held her small hand and stayed silent, as the three headed back to the Ruan Family home.
Ruan Jiaojiao was filled with doubts, determined to ask as soon as they got home. However, she didn’t get the chance immediately, because there was a strange off-road vehicle parked in their yard, with a license plate from another province, not Beidu.
Ruan Jianguo was equally puzzled about who had come. He got out of the car, walked to the back to lift Ruan Jiaojiao from her seat. Ruan Jiaojiao felt like she wasn’t incapable of walking on her own, so she struggled in his arms, anxiously saying, “Dad, put me down, I can walk by myself. It seems there’s a guest at home, it’s so embarrassing to be carried like this at my age.”
Ruan Jiaojiao was no longer a six-year-old child, being held like this by Ruan Jianguo was really something she couldn’t accept.
Seeing her strong resistance, Ruan Jianguo had no choice but to put her down.
As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao’s feet touched the ground, she didn’t even have time to breathe a sigh of relief before she felt herself lifted into the air again. Turning her head, she was faced with Xiu Xi’s flawless handsome face.
“…” Ruan Jiaojiao.
Can this end already?
“You shouldn’t put weight on your leg yet, and it’s best not to exert force with your hand either,” Xiu Xi said.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her fingers, wrapped like little radishes, speechless…
Returning while being held again, Ruanlin Family, who was entertaining a guest inside, was scared. As she greeted them, her face turned pale: “What happened this time?” Her voice was trembling slightly.
“Grandma, it’s nothing, it’s nothing, just a cut on my finger.” Ruan Jiaojiao quickly reassured her while tilting her head to scrutinize the person behind her.
The person had been standing with their back to them, but as soon as Ruanlin Family walked toward the door, they turned around to look.
It was a young man about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a cropped hairstyle, wearing a leather jacket, a pair of sturdy studded shoes on his feet. He looked sharp, giving off an aura of decisiveness and coolness, but his face had a pair of peach blossom eyes that didn’t match his demeanor, adding a bit of cheeky charm to his whole persona.
Just as Ruan Jiaojiao was curious about who he was, she heard a familiar cheerful laugh coming from the downstairs bathroom area: “Jiaojiao, you’re so grown up and still want to be carried, aren’t you embarrassed?”
This familiar voice, this familiar teasing, who else could it be but Shu Lang.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked over, pleasantly surprised: “Uncle!”
