Chapter 2096: His Little Wife (2)
The first thing Duan Xi did when he came in was grab Jiaojiao’s small hand, and the second was to look at the Little Potato stuck tightly to her side.
"..." Little Potato.
His chubby little hand clutched at Ruan Jiaojiao’s pant leg. He puffed out his chest, feeling he should still be able to hold his ground for a bit.
But that "hold his ground" didn’t even last three seconds before he surrendered. He didn’t even dare to cry. Letting go of Ruan Jiaojiao’s pant leg, he moved his short little legs and went, all aggrieved, to find Gu Zichen.
Duan Xi was very satisfied that he’d scared off a clingy little human cub from his wife-to-be with just one look.
He gave the small hand he was holding a light squeeze.
Seeing the sweat still on his forehead, Ruan Jiaojiao felt embarrassed to be too affectionate in front of so many elders. She greeted the elders, then tugged him upstairs first. There was still a room upstairs that the Shu Family had always kept for her.
As soon as she went into the room, Ruan Jiaojiao took the suit jacket off Duan Xi’s wrist and put it on the bed first. Looking at him with a bit of heartache, she said, "Brother Xi, aren’t you hot? Did you just get back from some event? Since it’s over already, you don’t need to keep your tie so tight."
As she spoke, Ruan Jiaojiao rose on her tiptoes, wanting to pull his tie off, but she hadn’t grown more than a few centimeters over the years. She was still only one-sixty-seven, while Duan Xi was now one-eighty-eight—towering over her—so this movement was a bit difficult for her.
She could only climb onto the bed, pull him closer in front of her, and say, "Let me take it off for you. I know how. I’ve seen Mom take it off for Dad."
