Chapter 2282
Duan Xi’s five senses were inherently sharper than others. Although all his attention was on Jiaojiao, Dan Chun hid herself well, yet he could still feel her occasional gaze on him.
But, after all, she was someone Ruan Bo brought, and besides, in his eyes, apart from Jiaojiao, everyone else was indistinguishable, so he just pretended not to notice.
Of course, more importantly, it was because of Jiaojiao. She cared so much about her brothers, and he didn’t want her to be upset.
However, he was a bit surprised that Ruan Bo discovered it so quickly and handled it so decisively. He felt quite satisfied and thought that Jiaojiao’s care for them wasn’t in vain.
"Then why didn’t you say anything? Was it because of me?" Jiaojiao asked, her small hand holding onto his large hand in reverse.
Duan Xi’s response was to squeeze her small hand, silently acknowledging.
Jiaojiao felt sweetness in her heart, yet she wanted to act innocent after taking advantage, "I heard there are very few talents in this field currently in the country. Xi gege, won’t you feel it’s a pity? It seems like we’re mixing personal and professional matters, isn’t it?"
"Then should we sign?" Duan Xi turned his head.
The smile on Jiaojiao’s lips froze instantly, and she pinched the back of his hand with her other hand, "You dare!"
Duan Xi laughed, drove the car into the villa, stopped, turned off the engine, pulled her over by reaching out, placed a hand on the back of her head, lowered his head, and kissed her little mouth, which had unconsciously pouted, capturing all her sweetness.
Jiaojiao was upset that he teased her this way, deliberately refused to cooperate, and even tried to open her mouth to bite him, but as soon as her mouth opened, it was completely seized by him.
This battle lasted from eight at night until early in the morning when it finally stopped. Jiaojiao was so exhausted she passed out. Duan Xi bathed her, changed her into clean pajamas, cautiously placed her back onto the bed, and held her in his arms. His sexy, husky voice was particularly clear in the night, uttering two words that answered Jiaojiao’s last conscious question: "I dare not."
"I dare not," because of reluctance, "reluctance" because of deep love.
Of all the things in the world, nothing compares to a single look from her...

Duan Xi didn’t go to work the next day and spent the day idly with Jiaojiao in the villa. When Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she found herself snuggled in the man’s arms, lying on the sofa together while there was a table in front of them where Duan Xi was working.
Noticing Jiaojiao opened her eyes, he looked down at her blurred gaze and gently held her up, asking softly, "Hungry?"
Jiaojiao leaned her head against his chest, unconsciously shook her head, yawned, and with tear-filled eyes saw that the time on his laptop was already past ten in the morning.
She abruptly sat up in surprise but immediately collapsed back because of the soreness in her waist, falling into Duan Xi’s embrace.
Duan Xi looked down at her furrowed little eyebrows, couldn’t resist, and lowered his head to kiss her, making her already muddled brain turn into a complete mess.
Finally, when Jiaojiao was hardly breathing smoothly, he reluctantly let go of her but still occasionally pecked at her crystal-clear, rosy little mouth, as if addicted, never getting enough.
Jiaojiao was so troubled by him that she had no choice but to turn his head away with her hand, complaining while holding her waist, "I haven’t brushed my teeth."
"No problem, I don’t mind." Duan Xi, unable to kiss her mouth, instead pecked at her forehead, temples, and other spots.
