Chapter 2015: Chapter 2015: Two Sisters Fancy Two Brothers (10)
"Isn’t it? In the blink of an eye, it’s been ten years. I still remember when Little Jiaojiao fell and chipped a tooth. She cried so heartbreakingly because girls all love to be pretty, hahaha... Little Jiaojiao, do you remember?" Dr. Lu said and couldn’t help but laugh.
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.
Thank you, but she doesn’t remember such things at all! Not one bit!
What followed was a time for a few old men to reminisce, constantly bringing up those little embarrassing moments Ruan Jiaojiao had long forgotten. Feeling awkward and helpless, Ruan Jiaojiao shuffled over to Ruan Hao’s side, tugging at his sleeve, and said, "Big brother, let’s go back to the hotel first."
"Sweetie, it’s still early. We’ll go back later and wait for Dad," Ruan Jianguo immediately responded upon hearing her.
Ruan Jiaojiao smiled sweetly, looking extremely lovely: "Dad, Mom told us to go back with Brother first."
"Ah, is that so? Then you guys head back quickly. Go on, don’t delay," Ruan Jianguo instantly changed his stance, as if afraid they wouldn’t leave, and gave them both a little push.
Ruan Jiaojiao and Ruan Hao left the new house. At the bottom of the stairs, they bumped into Duan Xi coming to find her, and the three of them took a car back to the hotel. Before the car started, Ruan Jiaojiao clearly saw Hong Ling chasing after them, quickly urging Duan Xi in front to drive: "Brother Xi, drive quickly!"
Duan Xi stepped on the gas and left the pursuing Hong Ling far behind. She was even sprayed with exhaust fumes because she chased too close.
Ruan Jiaojiao watched Hong Ling stamp her feet in frustration and occasionally cover her mouth with her hand. As she turned back, she couldn’t help but squint her eyes with laughter.
Ruan Hao, sitting next to her, amusedly asked, "You dislike her that much?"
Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at him and countered, "Do you like her, big brother?"
Ruan Hao laughed. He reached out to smooth her slightly messy hair at the temples and, with a voice full of magnetism, said, "Of course not. Whatever Jiaojiao dislikes, your brother dislikes too."
Ruan Hao had said this before, but Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t taken it seriously back then. Now, seeing Ruan Hao’s earnest expression, she was momentarily stunned.
Feeling a bit guilty and fearing Ruan Hao might think she was being unreasonable, she quietly explained, "Big brother, I’m not being unreasonable. I just think she’s not good enough for you. In Jiaojiao’s heart, you are the very best, and only the best is worthy of you."
As for Hong Ling, it’s not discrimination, but she’s truly not up to par in every respect, whether it’s academically or appearance-wise, let alone how she conducts herself.
"Big brother understands." Ruan Hao looked at his sister, who was speaking with her head held high, declaring that only the best would do for him, and his heart melted.
What he didn’t say was that he didn’t want the best; he just wanted someone who was good to his family and his sister.
At any time, in any place, whether intentional or not, he would never put his sister in a dangerous position.
Not to mention, Ruan Hao had never taken Hong Ling seriously. The moment she recklessly almost caused Ruan Jiaojiao to fall, any possibility was completely out of the question.
After arriving at the hotel, Ruan Hao went to arrange for the upcoming banquet, while Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi went to the kitchen to find the bird’s nest porridge Shu Jiao mentioned.
Yuansu’s Ruan Family Hotel was originally the Ruan Family Restaurant, with old employees who naturally recognized Ruan Jiaojiao.
