Chapter 2247: Chapter 2257

Remembering when she gave gifts herself, she never felt this happy. Looking at the watch, Duan Xi couldn’t help but feel a bit displeased.

What Duan Xi didn’t know was that Ruan Jiaojiao’s happiness wasn’t because of receiving an expensive gift, but because of who it was from.

Ruan Hao found someone he liked, and she was happier than anyone else.

Perhaps she liked Wen Shu too much, she didn’t even have a hint of that feeling of losing her brother to another woman.

Father and daughter exchanged calls back and forth, and the call lasted nearly half an hour.

After Ruan Jiaojiao hung up, she still felt unsatisfied. Turning her head, she continued talking to Duan Xi about Wen Shu: "Brother Xi, you must see her, Sister Wen is really amazing."

Duan Xi responded blandly and served her a bowl of soup: "Drink more, boost your energy."

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

Luckily, the soup hadn’t entered her mouth, or she would have spat it all out.

Feeling no mood to talk about Wen Shu anymore, her small hands clutched her pants as she gazed at Duan Xi’s handsome profile, causing her heart to start pounding uncontrollably again.

On the Ruan Family’s side, Ruan Jianguo hung up the phone, smiling with satisfaction. Seeing Shu Jiao come in from the outside, he immediately shared his joy: "Wife, our son has made us proud! He’s hooked a sweetheart!"

Ruan Jianguo had been with Shu Jiao since his twenties, and by early next year, he would step into his fifties. People of their generation married young, so at his age, many had grandchildren already.

Last time they went back to Yuansu, they saw many people with grandchildren. In contrast, even Sanmao had become a grandfather. He hadn’t even seen a single hair of a grandchild, so claiming he wasn’t anxious would be a lie.

Now, hearing Ruan Jiaojiao’s affirmative response, he was so happy he couldn’t close his mouth.

Shu Jiao thought he was just talking nonsense and didn’t pay much attention. When putting her bag in the room, Ruan Jianguo followed closely, a bit perplexed, asking her: "Wife, aren’t you happy?"

"Where did you hear that from?" Shu Jiao stood at the sink washing her hands, next to her, Ruan Jianguo quickly handed her a towel.

"Our precious daughter said it, it’s a done deal! Precious said the other party even gave a watch worth over 100,000 yuan, and our son agreed she could accept it." Ruan Jianguo said, "You know our son’s personality, right? If he hadn’t accepted it himself, how would he let our precious accept that watch."

Upon hearing this, Shu Jiao’s expression turned serious.

She took out her phone and first called Ruan Hao, but Ruan Hao didn’t answer, so she had to call Ruan Jiaojiao again. Ruan Jiaojiao recounted what had happened earlier.

Shu Jiao then understood completely.

Ruan Hao was really serious about this, otherwise, he wouldn’t have introduced her to Ruan Jiaojiao first, obviously wanting her approval before bringing her home for real.

"Alright, mom knows." She looked at the clock, noticing it was almost eight in the evening, and casually asked, "When will you come back?"

Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi had already finished eating. Upon hearing the question, she glanced at Duan Xi beside her and replied vaguely: "Now... not sure yet, maybe... um, later..."

"Are you with Xiaoxi?" Shu Jiao asked.

"Mm..." This response of Ruan Jiaojiao was particularly small, she really couldn’t help feeling guilty.

Shu Jiao found her vague attitude a bit strange, but didn’t think too much of it, just reminded her to be careful while out with Xiaoxi.
