Chapter 352 Uncle (2)_1
"It’s not a bother at all," the matriarch of the Ruanlin Family hurriedly said, recovering her composure. She slightly appeared uncomfortable—for her, always so generous and outgoing, this was the first time she had felt this way.
It was probably Shu Lang’s aura of refined grace that left her at a loss.
She extended her hand politely, inviting him into the main room to sit, busy with pouring water and offering fruit, displaying exceptional politeness and thoughtfulness.
In contrast, Shu Lang seemed quite at ease, probably accustomed to such hospitality from others.

To others, including Ruan Jianguo, this might seem normal—and even he was somewhat overwhelmed. Ruan Jie also buzzed around him, incessantly asking questions with a tone that held something he didn’t reserve for others... Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t quite describe that feeling, anyway, it was uncomfortable to watch.
Especially seeing how courteously the matriarch of the Ruanlin Family was treating him, while he remained so apparently composed, it made Ruan Jiaojiao feel upset.
Shu Lang truly liked Ruan Jiaojiao. From the moment he saw her, he cherished her to his core. When he beckoned her over and she didn’t come, he condescended to walk over to her, squatted in front of her, eye to eye, and coaxed her with a gentle voice, "Is Jiaojiao shy? I’m your uncle, you know, why aren’t you calling me?"
Ruan Hao and Ruan Jie had already called him, the only exception being Ruan Jiaojiao, who was reluctant to speak, making Shu Lang somewhat anxious.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him and pursed her lips, still not uttering a word.
On the other side, Ruan Jianguo was a bit anxious and was just about to urge her to speak when Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly threw herself into the embrace of the matriarch, clinging to her legs and glaring at Shu Lang, "I won’t call him, he didn’t even call Dad!"
