Chapter 1293: Chapter 1293: The Forgotten Eighth Kid (5)
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Ruanlin Family took her spatula and went to the kitchen to continue working on breakfast.
Shu Wen watched Ruan Jiaojiao playing enthusiastically with her own tail, feeling her heart melt.
She turned to Shu Jiao and said, "Sister, there’s nothing much left to do here, we’ll be heading back tomorrow."
Shu Jiao looked up, thinking it was a bit early, but then realized it was already mid-September and the National Day holiday was only half a month away. An engagement is a major event that needs arrangements, so heading back now was not early at all.
She nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll have your brother-in-law drive you tomorrow. We will be heading to Beidu by the end of the month. Don’t mention Jiaojiao’s matter to Dad yet, I’ll talk to him in person, so he doesn’t get anxious."
Shu Wen nodded, and they continued discussing the engagement banquet. Ruan Jiaojiao, still too small, was already feeling a bit tired after the morning hustle.
She covered her tiny furry mouth with her small paw and let out a delicate little yawn.
Shu Jiao immediately focused her attention on her, rubbing her little head and saying, "If you’re sleepy, go to sleep."
Ruan Jiaojiao meowed softly, then curled her little body into a ball and fell asleep peacefully.
As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao fell asleep, the others naturally lowered their voices, afraid of disturbing her rest.
Nearby, Ruan Jie saw she was asleep and immediately gave Shu Jiao a look, pointing to his arms, hinting for her to pass Ruan Jiaojiao to him.
Shu Jiao gave him a glance, intending to foster some sibling bonding, and didn’t refuse. She carefully lifted her hand to pass Jiaojiao to him.
But before Ruan Jiaojiao’s small body even touched Ruan Jie, just by sensing his scent, she pulled her head out from under her belly, glaring at the shadowy figure before her.
"Meow! No."
Her little ears stood up in defiance.
Seeing this, Shu Jiao immediately retracted her hand, giving Ruan Jie a helpless look.
Ruan Jie felt a pang of sadness, withdrawing his hand and watching Ruan Jiaojiao cozy up in Shu Jiao’s arms, sleeping sweetly.
Ruan Jiaojiao slept soundly through the morning, and if it weren’t for the discomfort of her bloated belly, she might not have been inclined to wake up.
She propped herself up with her little paws, finding that she had been placed on the bed, with a small blanket covering her.
Just crawling out of that tiny blanket nearly exhausted her, not to mention how desperate she felt when she reached the edge of the bed, which looked like a sheer cliff to her.
"Meow!" Brother Xi.
Her belly was really bothering her, and she needed to relieve herself, so she had to call out, lifting her chin.
But!!!
Instead of Xiu Xi, who showed up was that self-proclaimed second brother of hers, the awkwardly unkempt kid.
The dark boy poked half of his face through the door crack, grinning mischievously, "Jiaojiao’s awake, huh, want to get down?"
He sneaked inside, rubbing his hands as he reached her.
The nearly two-meter-tall guy, making that gesture, really did seem quite sleazy.
Ruan Jiaojiao retreated a couple of steps, but her tiny steps couldn’t match Ruan Jie’s speed. It was almost inevitable; she was scooped up by this dark boy.
Yes, this dark boy clasped his hands together and lifted her from the bed! His movements were exceptionally careful.
