Capítulo 1355: Chapter 1355: Midnight Soul Departure (Part 4)
The engagement party ended, and everyone didn’t disperse. The younger ones went to the entertainment area of the hotel to watch movies and play billiards, while the older ones sat together and chatted.
The Ruan Family originally should have stayed a bit longer, but because Jiaojiao had a little incident, the Ruan Family didn’t feel like staying and went home after greeting the Qin Family.
Xiu Xi originally wanted to take the opportunity to introduce Gu Zichen to his family, but now with the sudden situation, he couldn’t do so and had to wait for another chance.
As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao got home, she was complaining about feeling dirty all over. That lake water was not fresh, had a strong smell, and she felt like she was covered in it. So she wanted to take a bath, and Shu Jiao couldn’t resist her; she had to hold her and take a bath, making her smell nice and then blow-drying her hair, only then did Jiaojiao feel satisfied.
She hugged her little bottle and drank with satisfaction.
Old Man Shu also came back along, now sitting beside her, looking at her with his aged face, and occasionally reaching over to touch her with affection. Jiaojiao glanced at him several times, feeling not familiar with this old man, but her body honestly didn’t resist, letting him take harmless liberties.
“Jiaojiao, is the milk good?” he asked.
“Meow?” Do you want some too?
Jiaojiao put down her little bottle and turned to ask.
“Meow, gah.” If you like it, go make some yourself.
Jiaojiao pointed at the can not far away and called out, indicating he should make some himself.
Old Man Shu didn’t understand what she meant, just saw her point, and asked, “Do you like this brand?”
“…” Jiaojiao blinked.
“You like it, right? Then Grandpa will get someone to buy it for you, as much as you want.” Old Man Shu said.
“…” Xiu Xi.
Looking at this self-talking little old man who thought he understood everything, Xiu Xi couldn’t explain why he suddenly felt proud.
He puffed up his chest and even the hand holding Jiaojiao’s little bottle became more powerful.
The little old man kept talking, all mismatched things, and Xiu Xi didn’t bother translating. He kept speaking happily.
Jiaojiao finished drinking her goat milk, and according to her usual routine, this was the time for a nap. But with the chirpy little old man nearby today, she couldn’t sleep at all. Instead, she wandered around the Shu Family garden and played a chase game with several little birds for most of the afternoon. By evening, she could no longer hold up and lay down without even drinking goat milk.
Lunch was had at the hotel, and dinner was supposed to be at the Qin Family, but Qin Qiong, considering the Ruan Family’s inconvenience, persuaded his parents to come to the Shu Family to eat.
The Shu Family had a simple composition, and Qin Qiong had no siblings, just his parents who were both military personnel, not fond of formalities, making the dinner enjoyable for everyone.
When Qin Qiong went to the Ruan Family initially, Shu Jiao had already been quite satisfied with him. Now seeing he’s willing to adapt for Shu Wen, with straightforward and easygoing parents, from the heart she was pleased with this brother-in-law.
As for Jiang Bin, leaving aside the friendship from Xiahe Village, Shu Jiao wasn’t so optimistic about him, not that he was a bad person.
But no matter how good someone is, they are not suitable for Shu Wen. From him hiding his stance as a non-marriage type while dating Shu Wen, this could be seen.
She’s not a conservative person, everyone has their attitudes toward life, which she has no right to interfere with or comment on, but it was wrong of him to hide it from Shu Wen.
