Chapter 2284
Sha Qian is holding the phone, looking at Dan Chun who is still standing in the meeting room, exuding a chill that seems to freeze the entire building. He almost wants to cry tears of blood: "I know, but Boss, Dan Chun refuses to leave no matter what, saying she wants to see you before she goes. She’s been waiting at the company all morning!"
The icy demeanor makes them scared to even breathe.
"Got it." Duan Xi frowned.
"Got what..." Before Sha Qian could finish his sentence, he was met with the sound of beeping, as the call was already hung up on the other end.
Sha Qian thought it was accidentally disconnected and suspiciously tried to call again, but the ringing went on repeatedly, with Duan Xi never picking up again.
He had to accept that the call was deliberately hung up by Duan Xi.
Jiaojiao watched Duan Xi hang up the phone and walk over, immediately asking, "Brother Xi, is Dan Chun really still waiting in the meeting room?"
Duan Xi nodded and served her some food.
As Jiaojiao ate, she asked, "Then what should we do?"
Although this situation was indeed due to their lack of separation between public and private matters, Jiaojiao still didn’t want to compromise. She wasn’t generous enough to keep a woman who had thoughts about her around the company, even knowing Duan Xi wouldn’t be swayed, she didn’t want to; it felt uncomfortable.
"I’ll handle it, let’s eat first." Duan Xi.
Jiaojiao could only leave it at that for now.
After finishing lunch, Jiaojiao had expected Duan Xi to go to the company, but instead, he pulled her into the room to lie down, saying they should take a nap.
"..." Jiaojiao, who had just gotten up for lunch.
She expected herself to be unable to sleep, but unexpectedly, fatigue hit her shortly after lying down, and within ten minutes she fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, it was past two in the afternoon. Jiaojiao felt much more refreshed than in the morning, but Duan Xi was no longer by her side. She stretched lazily, rolled over on the bed, and called out, "Brother Xi."
Soon footsteps sounded in front of the bedroom door, but they were chaotic, not at all like one person’s.
Jiaojiao looked up suspiciously and saw the door being pushed open, with Duan Xi in front and two men following him, Ruan Jianguo and Ruan Hao.
Jiaojiao was startled and instinctively burrowed under the covers to check if her clothes were intact before breathing a sigh of relief.
Ruan Jianguo’s face didn’t look good, but seeing his beloved daughter calmed him a bit, and he followed Duan Xi over, only to nearly have his nose hit by the door Duan Xi closed!
"Duan Xi!" He gritted his teeth, his voice nearly squeezed out through them.
Jiaojiao got off the bed and hugged Duan Xi as he walked over: "Brother Xi, why did Dad and Brother come?"
"They got the address from Duan Qianyang and came over." Duan Xi, speaking in a somewhat cold tone, dissatisfied with Duan Qianyang.
What he didn’t know was, it was tough for Duan Qianyang as a father whose child had been taken by someone like Duan Xi.
Last night, Jiaojiao and Duan Xi didn’t return home. Although Duan Xi had informed them, everyone in the Ruan Family knew what this meant, and Ruan Jianguo was so upset that he didn’t sleep well all night. Initially, he planned to wait until the next day when Duan Xi returned to reprimand him, but they didn’t come back all afternoon, which really fueled his anger.
What happened next was something Duan Qianyang wouldn’t want to recall for years!
