Chapter 1010: Jiang Xun (6)
Both Jiang Nuan and Jiang Bai narrowed their eyes as if calculating something unknown to others. They each snorted, then turned to instruct the kids snuggled up beside them to follow along.
In the end, what was originally supposed to be a four-person outing turned into a chaotic, sprawling group.
Even the unruly troublemaker from before tagged along, followed by a young girl trying to be friendly with Xiu Xi but receiving no acknowledgment. Ruan Jie considered himself much older than this band of little soldiers and believed he shouldn’t mingle with them. However, he was concerned about his younger sister, so after some hesitation, he adjusted his pant leg and decided to join them.
Once they stepped out of the Jiang Family’s courtyard, Jiang Bin wasted no time in circling around Shu Wen.
First, he grinned and flattered Ruan Jiaojiao, pulling out a handful of chocolates and soft candies from his pocket and handing them to her. Then he said, "Jiaojiao, why don’t you and your brother Xun walk around somewhere else first? Uncle Jiang Bin wants to have a few words with your aunt."
Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at her hands, now stuffed full of candies. She actually wanted to say she was far past the age of being bribed with sweets, but seeing how earnest Jiang Bin looked—and noticing her aunt didn’t seem to resist—she reluctantly agreed.
Feigning helplessness, she let out a sigh and said, "Alright then. Jiaojiao will lend Uncle her aunt for ten minutes, but only ten minutes, okay?" As she spoke, she tucked the candies into her pocket. When the pocket couldn’t fit anymore, she began putting them in Xiu Xi’s pocket instead. These were all imported premium candies—why let them go to waste? She was worried about getting cavities, but she could bring them back for Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa had dentures anyway, so no worries about cavities there!
