Chapter 2450: Chapter 2334

Jiaojiao touched her arm; her attire was indeed quite cool. It was not yet May, and especially in the mornings and evenings, the weather was very chilly. She had just been in a hurry and vainly overlooked the temperature issue.

She was a bit hesitant. Changing into another outfit would waste a lot of time, and to be honest, she really liked this dress and didn’t want to change it. Besides, the hotel had central heating and wasn’t cold at all; at most, she just needed to be a bit cautious outside, and the car had air conditioning, so it wasn’t cold.

"Never mind, we won’t be outside for long anyway." In the end, her love for beauty prevailed, Jiaojiao said while pinching her skirt’s hem.

Duan Xi’s gaze darkened again, but since the car’s lights were dim, and Jiaojiao had her head down, she didn’t notice.

Duan Xi immediately took off his outerwear; today he wore a black suit. With the outer jacket removed, his white shirt underneath accentuated the proportions of his upper body perfectly.

However, Jiaojiao wasn’t in the mood to appreciate this at the moment. She looked at the black coat now draped over her, feeling it didn’t match her peach-pink dress at all.

Instinctively, she wanted to shrug it off, but was coaxed by Duan Xi’s words: "Take it off once inside the hotel, catching a cold will ruin your second brother’s big day."

That was like hitting a snake’s vital spot; Jiaojiao immediately obediently wore the coat that suppressed her beauty and dutifully sipped the nourishing porridge specially prepared by the Ruanlin Family for her.

Duan Xi drove steadily, and just before they reached the hotel, Jiaojiao finished her meal. Upon entering the hotel lobby with the staff’s guidance, she started removing the coat and offered it to Duan Xi. However, Duan Xi didn’t take it but said, "Just leave it anywhere, and you can get it after the feast."

"??" Jiaojiao looked over, puzzled.

"There’s heating in the hotel, and I still have errands to run; wearing a coat would be inconvenient. You can leave it anywhere, and retrieve it once the wedding banquet is over."

"..." Jiaojiao.

Instinctively, she hugged the suit jacket tighter.

In these days of celebration at the Ruan Family, the hotel was fully booked except for Xia Qia’s room. She’s unsure where to put the coat, and Xia Qia’s room had a makeup team present all day, making it more crowded. She hesitated, fearing someone might accidentally touch Duan Xi’s clothes.

"Brother Xi, can’t you put it back in the car?" she asked.

"The car will be lent out," replied Duan Xi.

"..." Jiaojiao.

"Or, should I let the staff keep it for now?" Duan Xi suggested, casting a meaningful glance at the staff next to her.

"I’d better hold onto it after all!" Jiaojiao quickly and urgently replied this time, since she couldn’t bear to just randomly discard his coat.

Duan Xi watched her hold onto the coat with a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips, unnoticed by her, but outwardly he feigned reluctance: "That works too. If it’s inconvenient later, call me when I’m free and I’ll come to get it."

As for whether he was free or not, she immediately wanted to take off the coat she was wearing, Duan Xi nodded repeatedly.
