Chapter 2404: Chapter 2404

Of course, when some people are happy, naturally some people aren’t.

The unhappy one is Duan Xi. Now that there’s a young Xia Qia at home, Ruan Jiaojiao doesn’t stick to him anymore. He’d finally coaxed her into coming to the company and thought they could cling together every day, but instead she’s slacking off all the time, sometimes he doesn’t even see her when he gets home. It’s worse than before.

Duan Xi is very pissed, and the consequences are getting a little serious.

Especially this night, right after dinner, Ruan Jiaojiao happily trotted after Xia Qia into Ruan Jie’s room to look at the marriage certificate they’d picked up that day.

Duan Xi waited outside for her to come out, his eyes going greener and greener as he waited, and still she didn’t appear. In the end he couldn’t even hear her voice.

But this was Ruan Jie’s room, and it wasn’t just Ruan Jiaojiao inside, so it wasn’t easy for him to knock. He could only hold some documents in his hand, pretending to be busy as he paced back and forth outside Ruan Jie’s door. Finally, when Ruan Jie came out of the bathroom on the second floor, he followed behind him and stopped at the bedroom door.

Ruan Jie was drying his hair with one hand and reaching out to push the door with the other. The moment his hand touched the door, he felt something was off. He turned his head and looked at Duan Xi, who was standing there like a wooden post, and asked, "Why are you standing behind me?"

"There’s a document that needs Jiaobao’s signature." Duan Xi.

Ruan Jie didn’t buy it. "Her position at your company is that important?"

"Yes." Duan Xi, lying without so much as blinking.

Ruan Jie still didn’t believe him, he kept feeling this guy was talking nonsense. But even if he was talking nonsense, there was nothing Ruan Jie could do—he couldn’t beat him...

And since he and Xia Qia had gotten their certificate today, his wife was already on his bed, he was also a bit impatient to get to the bridal chamber. He reached out to push the door open, then suddenly thought of something and immediately looked back at Duan Xi behind him: "Don’t stare all over the place."

"..." Duan Xi turned his head away with a cold expression.

Only when he saw him look away did Ruan Jie open the door. The room was warm and cozy now. Xia Qia’s lower body was nestled under the blanket, her upper body leaning against the bedhead, and the spot beside her that should have belonged to Ruan Jie was currently occupied by a little girl who’d already fallen asleep.

The little girl was sleeping soundly, her little face flushed rosy by the heater, one small hand still clutching the hem of Xia Qia’s clothes. She looked soft and cute, enough to melt anyone’s heart.

"You’re done? Jiaojiao fell asleep. Don’t wake her—carry her out." Seeing Ruan Jie come in, Xia Qia looked over and said.

"Is she a pig? It’s only been a few minutes and she’s out cold." Ruan Jie complained as he walked over, but when he reached the bed and picked Ruan Jiaojiao up, his movements were very gentle.

He’d originally planned to carry her straight back to her room, but when he reached the doorway, a pair of hands stretched out toward him. "I’ll take her."

Ruan Jie instinctively wanted to dodge. Handing his little sister over to this guy—wasn’t that throwing a lamb into a tiger’s mouth?

But the next few words out of Duan Xi’s mouth made him hesitate: "Your wife’s waiting for you."

"..." Ruan Jie.

And in that split second of hesitation, the sister in his arms was taken away. Duan Xi didn’t give him any chance to change his mind; he turned and walked off with Ruan Jiaojiao in his arms.

Ruan Jie wavered between his little sister and the spring night for a brief moment, then resolutely chose the latter!

A little sister isn’t going to get lost, but his wife is still waiting.

A night of spring passion is worth a thousand in gold!

Ruan Jie shut the door with zero psychological burden and went off to enjoy his spring night, while over on the other side, the moment Ruan Jiaojiao was put down in her own room by Duan Xi, she let out a little hum, then burrowed into the still-intact blanket nest and continued sleeping.
