Chapter 2069: Chapter 2069: Qin Li (7)
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t expect things would take this turn. Remembering Li Boxue’s mocking gaze today, she felt a bit bitter inside.
Actually, except for her brothers, she rarely feels this way towards other people. Ruan Jiaojiao knows the main reason is still Duan Xi; seeing Li Boxue reminds her of Duan Xi from the past.
When she first met Duan Xi, she didn’t know he was a wolf and mistook him for Xiu Xi from her past life, so she was wary of him and never felt sorry for him.
Now seeing Li Boxue, whose situation is very similar, she gives him the sympathy she never gave Duan Xi before.
Duan Xi usually dislikes her getting close to others, but after hearing Ruan Jiaojiao, he never made things difficult for Li Boxue and often accompanied her to the Li Family.
With Li Boxue’s current mindset, adopting him is very difficult.
Qin Qiong and Shu Wen were prepared for a long battle, but unexpectedly, early the next morning, Li Boxue appeared at the Ruan Family’s doorstep.
At that time, the Ruan Family was having breakfast, and when they saw Li Boxue suddenly appear at the yard’s entrance, everyone looked at him in surprise.
Ruan Jianguo stood up first: "Li Family boy..."
"I’m looking for Jiaojiao sister," Li Boxue said to him.
Ruan Jianguo turned his head for a look, and Ruan Jiaojiao had already gotten up and walked over, holding an unfinished egg in her hand. Because she couldn’t eat it, she dropped it on the ground. Immediately, a young wolf grabbed it and ran to a corner to eat, with several more crowding behind, vying and making whimpering sounds.
The Ruan Family is willing to spend generously on them, each growing plump and strong.
Li Boxue glanced at the little pups fighting over the egg and then at Ruan Jiaojiao. Ruan Jiaojiao asked him, "Boxue, have you had breakfast?"
Li Boxue nodded, then shook his head, his gaze passing through her, looking at Shu Wen and Qin Qiong behind her.
Qin Qiong seemed fine, while Shu Wen was a bit anxious but stood up with considerable grace and elegance.
"Would you like to join us for a bite?" she asked.
Li Boxue looked at her smiling face, as if trying to see into her soul’s depths: "Someone told me there was talk of adopting me. Was it you?"
Shu Wen was taken aback at these words, exchanging a glance with Qin Qiong, who also rose in surprise. The two came over, and Qin Qiong asked, "Where did you hear that?"
Before Ruan Jiaojiao could speak, Li Boxue angrily retreated into the house.
"Village head, you haven’t answered my question yet," Li Boxue.
"It was us," Shu Wen nodded solemnly, asking him, "Would you be willing?"
Although Shu Wen asked this way, she didn’t hold much hope. Yesterday, when hearing from Ruan Jiaojiao, she felt he harbored deep wariness towards many people and was prepared for a prolonged struggle.
But unexpectedly, Li Boxue was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "If you don’t hit me, I’ll sell myself; I’m willing."
This time, the entire Ruan Family was shocked.
Even Ruan Hao looked over thoughtfully.
And the happiest was no other than Ruan Jiaojiao: "That’s great, Boxue, are you really willing? I can assure you, my aunt and uncle are genuinely good people, they will definitely take good care of you."
Ruan Jiaojiao was beautiful, and her smile was as pleasant as spring flowers blooming. Li Boxue stared blankly at her smile, telling himself that maybe, he could still take another chance.
