Chapter 2259
Ruan Hao walked to the door, confirmed she indeed left, then turned to Duan Xi: "Don’t tell her about this."
"I promised her that as long as she asked, I would tell her everything." Duan Xi frowned.
"Sometimes people need kind lies." Ruan Hao patted his shoulder.
Duan Xi seemed to ponder.
Meanwhile, downstairs in Shu Jiao and Ruan Jianguo’s room.
Leaning against the headboard, thinking about his family’s little cabbage that had been nibbled by wolves, Ruan Jianguo sighed repeatedly. Next to him at the dressing table, Shu Jiao was doing skincare, applying cream on her face while saying, "The day after tomorrow, prepare yourself, Xiaohao will bring his girlfriend home."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jianguo’s eyes lit up, temporarily forgetting about his nibbled little cabbage, he started thinking about someone else’s little cabbage: "Is it the one Jiaojiao met last time?"
"Yes, when they first met, she gave Jiaojiao a big gift. Our gift shouldn’t be light either." Shu Jiao nodded, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes as she spoke.
"That’s only right." Ruan Jianguo didn’t notice anything wrong with her expression, and simply nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
Shu Jiao finished her skincare, got into bed, and Ruan Jianguo, who had just eaten meat a couple of days ago, couldn’t help but feel his eyes heating up as he watched his soft and fragrant wife lying beside him.
He shuffled closer, but was pushed away directly by Shu Jiao: "It’s not convenient these days."
"..." Ruan Jianguo.
"About Jiaojiao and Xiaoxi’s matter, don’t make things hard for Xiaoxi," Shu Jiao said again.
Once she spoke, Ruan Jianguo couldn’t help but feel a bit angry, sat up straight, then turned arrogantly to lie facing away from Shu Jiao, indicating that this matter wasn’t up for discussion.
But Shu Jiao didn’t care about his little tantrum at all.
Ruan Jiaojiao had grown up, and she had another worry, she sighed.
Ruan Jianguo immediately turned around: "What’s wrong, dear?"
"Jiaojiao’s health isn’t good, she’s infertile. Xiaoxi doesn’t mind, but what about Duan Qianyang?"
Back then, when Ruan Jiaojiao had her accident, her soul left her body. To protect her body, she first lay in an icy coffin, and later had her body wiped with ice water for three months. She originally had the problem of uterine cold, and now it’s become irreversible damage.
Although she’s been constantly recuperating over the years, the damage was too severe. When she went for a check-up last time, the doctor’s response was still the same, the chances of pregnancy are extremely low, almost impossible.
Duan Xi doesn’t mind, thinks it’s fine, but what about Duan Qianyang?
Take a step back, even if not considering Duan Qianyang, Ruan Jiaojiao probably can’t handle knowing.
After all, not wanting to have kids and not being able to are completely different concepts.
Almost irreversible damage,
Hearing this, Ruan Jianguo fell silent too.
He thought for a moment, then pulled Shu Jiao into his arms from behind, comforting her: "Didn’t the fortune-teller often say, our precious is a lucky star? Heaven won’t be so cruel to her."
Shu Jiao didn’t respond, just patted his hand on her waist.
At this moment, Ruan Jiaojiao returned to her room, frowned at the news she just heard, and waited for Duan Xi to come back. But after half an hour, Duan Xi hadn’t shown up, and she eventually fell asleep leaning against the headboard.
After talking with Ruan Hao, Duan Xi returned to his room, took a shower, and then went to Ruan Jiaojiao’s room. Seeing she was already asleep, he immediately lightened his movements, carefully got into bed, and pulled her into his arms.
