Chapter 2451: Chapter 2451

When Ruan Jiaojiao, dressed in that outfit, arrived at the room opened by Xia Qia, there were already many people inside, including the makeup team she had specifically hired and a few people she didn’t recognize.

Upon hearing the door open, Xia Qia opened her eyes and looked into the mirror. Seeing it was Ruan Jiaojiao, her eyes softened immediately, and she waved, smiling, "You’re here."

"Yeah." Ruan Jiaojiao nodded with a smile, walked in, still holding Duan Xi’s clothes, and chuckled apologetically, "I’m not late, am I?"

"No, you’re actually quite early. Have you had breakfast? There’s some over there. Want to eat something?" Xia Qia pointed to a table in the corner, which had some exquisite small gift boxes on it: "There are the egg tarts you like inside."

"Second sister, did you make them this morning?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked.

Xia Qia didn’t hide it and nodded, "Last night I couldn’t sleep, so I decided to make some desserts."

"Aren’t you tired?"

"Not really." Before today, she actually felt somewhat surreal, even though they had already registered their marriage, it didn’t feel quite real.

Until this moment, sitting here, with her head tilted back, having her bridal makeup done, she realized she was really going to have a family, and it would be a wonderful family.

Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but reach out to hold Ruan Jiaojiao’s small hand, "Got up early today, are you tired? Why don’t you nap for a while? I still have makeup and dressing to do, I’ll be busy until seven, it’s only five now, so you can sleep for two hours."

Saying this, she immediately thought of clearing out a spot on the bed piled with things for Ruan Jiaojiao to sleep.

Ruan Jiaojiao quickly shook her head, "Second sister, no need, I’m fine, I won’t sleep, I’ll chat with you. Besides, Mom said I should get my hair done too." Mentioning this, Ruan Jiaojiao shyly touched her hair, feeling like she was kind of imposing on the makeover, a bit embarrassed.

Only then did Xia Qia notice her outfit today, with a flash of astonishment in her eyes.

The first time Xia Qia met Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t actually on Ruan Jiaojiao’s eighteenth birthday, but in Ruan Jie’s wallet.

Back then, she hadn’t confirmed her relationship with Ruan Jie yet, but she had feelings for him. She accidentally saw a photo of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in his wallet and paused for a moment, feeling a bit uneasy.

However, Ruan Jie didn’t notice. When he saw her staring at his wallet, he proudly showed it to her and asked triumphantly, "What do you think? Pretty, isn’t she?"

"She’s alright." Xia Qia remembered answering this way at the time.

Ruan Jie naturally felt a bit unsatisfied hearing this, and pushed the photo right under her nose, "How could she be just alright? Don’t you think she’s incredibly cute? This is our family’s little darling, Ruan Jiaojiao."

Ruan?

Xia Qia paused again then took a serious look at the photo, and the feeling of unease puffed away cleanly. When looking at Ruan Jiaojiao’s photo again, she truly felt from her heart that she was beautiful.

It was that instance when Xia Qia truly realized her feelings for Ruan Jie.

Ruan Jie inherited his father’s straightforward nature, but that doesn’t mean he’s foolish. On the contrary, his grades were always outstanding since he was young. He’s not entirely dull in front of the woman he likes. Perhaps he noticed her unusual reaction then, jokingly saying, "I only keep two women in my wallet."
