Chapter 2274
Xu Qing and Fei Xiaomiao first got off at the roadside and went into the store, while Duan Xi had to drive the car to the parking lot. Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t rush to get off but stayed with him.
Once Duan Xi parked the car, Ruan Jiaojiao immediately reached out her small hand.
Duan Xi pretended not to understand and looked at her.
Ruan Jiaojiao pouted, "Don’t play dumb, where’s my signed photo?"
Duan Xi was silent.
Ruan Jiaojiao pretended to be angry, "Brother Xi, give it back to me, or I won’t talk to you anymore."
"I can trade with you," Duan Xi said.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him suspiciously, "How to trade? Do you also have one?"
"Take mine," Duan Xi replied.
"!!!" Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him in astonishment, finding it hard to believe how he could say something so shamelessly with such confidence!
"Why would I need your photo!"
"Then why do you need their photo?" Duan Xi questioned.
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.
She actually felt like there was nothing wrong with his words, what’s going on?
"Jiaojiao?" Outside the car window, Ruan Bo stood by, confused, tapping on the window, looking at the two who hadn’t gotten off the car.
Ruan Jiaojiao turned her head and saw Ruan Bo and Dan Chun standing outside. She could only give Duan Xi a cold snort: "We’ll continue this later, but Brother Xi, just a friendly reminder, if you break it, lose it, burn it, or destroy it, I’ll be really, really mad." Saying this, she got out of the car through the door Ruan Bo had opened.
After she got off, Ruan Bo casually closed the car door, somewhat gleefully asking, "Did Xiaoxi make you angry?"
Ruan Jiaojiao hummed and casually hooked her arm around his, "Yes, so I’m not going to talk to him for now, Brother Bo, I’m sticking with you, not him!"
Ruan Bo looked at her pretending-to-be-angry little face, smiled, and rubbed her small head, nodding, "Okay, we’ll ignore him."
The siblings walked ahead arm in arm, and Ruan Jiaojiao’s ponytail swayed back and forth, looking adorably cute.
But in Dan Chun’s eyes, this wasn’t cute, it was childish.
She glanced at Duan Xi, trying to discern something from his eyes, but Duan Xi just silently closed the car door and did nothing else, just quickened his pace to walk to the other side of Ruan Jiaojiao, attempting to hold her small hand.
Ruan Jiaojiao refused to let him hold her hand; as his hand reached over, she flicked hers away.
Seeing this, Duan Xi, feeling guilty, also stopped trying to hold her hand, afraid of truly annoying Ruan Jiaojiao.
Over the years, his possessiveness has been somewhat restrained; although it isn’t as severe as when he was a child, he can now calmly accept when Ruan Jiaojiao receives gifts from relatives, even if they’re male. But when it comes to Ruan Jiaojiao receiving photos from other men, he still cannot bear it.
This photo he wouldn’t return, but he also didn’t dare truly make Ruan Jiaojiao angry.
And at the back, Dan Chun, observing this scene, deepened her indifferent gaze, her eyes lingering on Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi for quite a while, until they reached the door of the hot pot restaurant.
Fei Xiaomiao, Xu Qing, and others who had taken a taxi were already waiting at the door.
Since they had called ahead, the private room was already reserved. The group noisily went inside, and although Ruan Jiaojiao was angry, she still obediently sat next to Duan Xi.
After she sat down, she noticed that Ruan Bo, who was supposed to sit beside her, had unknowingly moved to Duan Xi’s left side and sat down.
