Chapter 2354: Chapter 2354

As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao stood up, Duan Sishu’s expression couldn’t help but turn sour again.

Because she felt that Ruan Jiaojiao was doing it on purpose. Before, she wouldn’t get up to let them have the seat, but now, as soon as they sat down, she stood up!

Due to previous experiences, she didn’t dare to make trouble again, realizing that if she continued, her second brother would actually throw her out.

However, thinking about how someone she disliked was leaving, it was actually a relief. Besides, she had legitimate business to attend to this time.

Thinking this, Duan Sishu’s expression improved a bit. Seeing Aunt Wu bringing over tea, she picked up a cup and looked at it briefly, but quickly put it down, wrinkling her nose in disdain. She said to Aunt Wu, "I don’t drink tea. Nianian needs some nourishment lately, Aunt Wu, cook two servings of bird’s nest porridge for us."

Aunt Wu heard this and her expression immediately became troubled. Not only is cooking bird’s nest time-consuming and labor-intensive, but with three grown men living in the Duan household, it was unlikely they would have such nourishing delicacies.

"What’s the matter, is my word so ineffective now?" Duan Sishu’s face, like a chameleon, turned unpleasant again, feeling like even the servants were starting to mock her.

"..." Aunt Wu.

Duan Qianyang put down the glass of plain water in his hand, lightly glanced at Duan Sishu: "Where do you expect her to get bird’s nest for you?"

"Does the house really not have any bird’s nest?" Duan Sishu frowned, skeptical.

"Mom!" The veins on Feng Nianian’s forehead started to throb, wishing she could smack herself. If it weren’t for wanting this minimal connection with the Duan Family, she really wanted to curse her mom to death!

She looked at Aunt Wu apologetically, appearing very considerate: "Aunt Wu, it’s fine, my mom was just joking, we’ll just drink this tea."

Only then did Aunt Wu nod, heading back to the kitchen to continue her work.

Meanwhile, near the entrance, Ruan Jiaojiao happened to hear the whole conversation, and couldn’t help but let her mind wander.

Their family had lots of bird’s nest and other nourishing items. Not only did she consume them, Ruanlin Family Shu Jiao did as well, and so did all the men in the house, even Duan Xi.

In the beginning, Ruan Jianguo didn’t eat it. He preferred buying over consuming it because he thought these were meant for women; a big man shouldn’t consume such watery, sticky things.

Ruan Jiaojiao just told him, eating these makes one appear younger. Since Shu Jiao maintained herself well, she often attracts some "little bees" outside.

If he didn’t eat them, he would look older and increasingly incompatible with her.

Consequently, every time Ruan Jianguo ate, he did so more than anyone, like a bull drinking water. As for Duan Xi, maybe he was naturally not picky about food; he never shied away from consuming these things.

Thinking of this, Ruan Jiaojiao decided in her mind to bring some over for Duan Qianyang next time.

As the three of them reached the door, Duan Xi put on his coat, then grabbed Ruan Jiaojiao’s down jacket hanging there and helped her put it on, from the clothes to the scarf to the gloves. Even when bending over because of wearing too much, Duan Xi naturally squatted down to put on her little boots.

These were things he was used to doing at home, Duan Xi did them naturally, and Ruan Jiaojiao accepted them with ease, even cooperatively lifting her foot and leaning half her body on his shoulder.

But the faces of those who saw this varied greatly.

Duan Sishu frowned as if her eyebrows were clashing, filled with disgust and anger.
