Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: Could Die at Any Moment (6)
Shu Lang walked over with a smile, and it wasn’t until he got closer that he noticed her finger was injured. He immediately furrowed his brow and asked with concern, “What happened to your hand?”
Ruan Jiaojiao was put down by Xiu Xi, and she pouted, “I cut it on the faucet, just came back from getting a tetanus shot.”
Shu Lang’s brow remained furrowed as he said, “How careless, was it the faucet at home that cut you? Why don’t you replace it?” As he spoke, he looked at Ruan Jianguo and called out “Brother-in-law.”
Clearly, he was placing the blame on Ruan Jianguo.
Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t bear to have her dad take the blame for her, so she quickly explained, “It happened in the school bathroom.” She then pointed to her calf, “I’ve been so unlucky recently, yesterday I got hurt by a kettle.”
The implication was that it was truly her own bad luck, and no one else was to blame.
This time, Shu Lang genuinely couldn’t smile. He lowered his head and moved behind her, looking at the long cut on her calf, his brow furrowing even tighter. “Is the school’s condition that poor?”
How broken must the faucet be to injure someone? And a kettle hurting a leg, that’s never been heard of.
“It’s mostly just me being unlucky.” Ruan Jiaojiao moved forward, and the nearby Shu Lang and the Ruanlin Family quickly came over to support her, helping her slowly over to the sofa.
As Ruan Jiaojiao bent over to sit on the sofa, her gaze kept drifting toward the unfamiliar person, curious about who he was.
Following her gaze, Shu Lang looked over and suddenly remembered he hadn’t had the chance to introduce him. He quickly stood up to introduce, “Oh right, Jiaojiao, this is Qin Qiong, he’s…” He paused for a few seconds here, seemingly trying to deliberately hide something, then turned to say, “You can call him Uncle Qin.”
“You must be Jiaojiao, don’t listen to your uncle talk nonsense. I’m your aunt’s fiancé, call me Auntie’s husband.” Qin Qiong was clearly dissatisfied with being called uncle, and he smiled directly at Ruan Jiaojiao as he spoke.
With his inherently cold demeanor, he seemed difficult to approach, but when he smiled like that, his almond-shaped eyes became extraordinarily charming, creating a sense of distance.
Auntie’s husband?
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him in surprise.
When did her aunt get a fiancé, and why didn’t she know? She had just returned from Beidu for summer break and hadn’t heard anything from her grandfather either.
“Qin Qiong, don’t be shameless.” Shu Lang immediately protested loudly from the side, glaring at Qin Qiong, who was shamelessly changing his own title.
“Whether to be shameless or not is unimportant so long as I can get…” Qin Qiong didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear; he was shameless, all he wanted was Shu Wen.
As Qin Qiong said this, he winked at Ruan Jiaojiao, with a smile playing at his lips, his almond-shaped eyes sparkling suggestively, exuding a wicked charm that was hard to ignore.
Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but feel her heart race for a few seconds, and she couldn’t help but smile along with him.
Even she was surprised; she liked Qin Qiong more than Jiang Bin, and somehow felt he would be more suitable for her aunt than Jiang Bin.
Of course, it wasn’t that Jiang Bin was bad; she could see his affection for her aunt. It’s just that Jiang Bin was more serious and reserved, whereas her aunt was bright and cheerful. The two of them weren’t very compatible.
But where exactly did this person come from, and how did he suddenly become her aunt’s fiancé?
While Qin Qiong was talking to Ruan Jianguo, Ruan Jiaojiao watched curiously, so much so that she was too engrossed to notice the face of the person sitting next to her gradually turning sour.
