Ruan Jianguo bowed his head, seeing that Jiaojiao didn’t seem like she was lying, he could only put her down. Yet, he was determined to stand in between her and Duan Xi, just like guarding against a thief.Jiaojiao felt both embarrassed and annoyed by his actions, especially with so many people watching. Her face was burning, and in anger, she shook off Ruan the Rich’s hand, turned around, and got into the passenger seat next to Duan Xi.
As soon as Ruan Jianguo saw this, he immediately tossed his keys to Ruan Bo beside him, dashed over, and squeezed himself into Duan Xi’s car.
Duan Xi walked to the driver’s seat and got in, with Ruan Jianguo at the back reminding, "Xiaoxi, drive the car home, go home."
Duan Xi nodded, started the car, turned the steering wheel, and headed towards the villa.
On the way back, the three remained silent. Jiaojiao was embarrassed by Ruan Jianguo, Duan Xi was absorbed in his own thoughts, while at the back, Ruan Jianguo constantly stared at Duan Xi’s steering wheel, fearing that he might drive back to Hengya when he wasn’t paying attention.
The car ride was about half an hour, and midway through, Duan Xi received a message on his phone. Besides texting Jiaojiao, he usually didn’t have the habit of messaging anyone, preferring to make phone calls instead.
So when the message came in, he merely glanced at it indifferently without any intent to check it.
Seeing him ignore it, Ruan Jianguo got anxious and reminded, "Xiaoxi, your phone rang. Why aren’t you checking the message?"
Duan Xi replied, "I’m concentrating on driving."
"It’s okay, it’s okay, just take a quick look," urged Ruan Jianguo.
Jiaojiao questioned, "Dad, didn’t you say last time not to call or look at your phone while driving?"
