Chapter 1347: Chapter 1347: Engagement Banquet (Part 6)
At first, Ruan Jiaojiao thought the person was looking at her, but soon realized it wasn’t the case. The other person’s gaze was intense; it quickly moved away after sweeping over Xiu Xi, and then searched among their group, finally frowning as if they couldn’t find the person they were looking for.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him suspiciously, surprisingly feeling that he looked a bit familiar.
Could it be someone she knew from the past?
Ruan Jiaojiao’s gaze drifted to the side, and Xiu Xi immediately sensed it. He grabbed her small chin with his hand, not letting her continue looking in that direction.
As if that wasn’t enough, he whispered softly in her ear, “Don’t look around carelessly, you don’t know anyone here!”
“…” Ruan Jianguo, who followed behind them.
If he remembered correctly, the kid up front was Xiu, no, it was Jiang Xun, right? How could they not know him?
He looked at the back of Xiu Xi with displeasure, wanting to say something, but felt many gazes directed at the person beside him, so he immediately forgot about it, focusing only on those looking at his wife, and surreptitiously wrapped his big hand around Shu Jiao’s waist, declaring his sovereignty.
Since the engagement banquet hadn’t started yet, Ruan Jiaojiao and the others were first invited into a large private room.
Inside, there were many high-end fruits and snacks. Ruan Jiaojiao was currently a cat, and a kitten at that, unable to eat anything except goat milk. Looking at so many snacks, she really felt a bit regretful.
While the adults were chatting and exchanging pleasantries, Ruan Jiaojiao squatted on the table, pawing at the seeds and candies with a sigh.
“Meow!” Such a pity.
There were still over two months before she could turn into a human.
Ruan Jiaojiao counted with her little paws, feeling a bit frustrated no matter how she thought about it.
Beside her, Ruan Hao saw her dejected little expression, smiled gently, picked her up into his arms, and teased her small nose, “Feeling greedy?”
Ruan Jiaojiao grunted, “Meow.” No, I’m not.
Yet, her little eyes kept glancing at the candies and snacks on the table.
The Qin Family wasn’t short of money and had connections, so the snacks and candies they bought were all imported. At Ruan Jiaojiao’s age, she loved nibbling on treats, and naturally felt tempted looking at those brightly colored and delicately packaged candies.
But after saying this, she felt a bit embarrassed, scratching her little whiskers and mewing softly, “Meow?” Big brother, let’s get a bag and take some home for godmother and the others to eat.
She could just sniff them for now.
Plus, the candies seemed to have a long shelf life, so maybe they’d last until she turned human?
The more Ruan Jiaojiao thought about it, the happier she became, eagerly wriggling in Ruan Hao’s arms, urging him to put her down, then waving her little paws to drag the candies from the plate under her belly.
Meow! Gather them up!
Gather them all up!
Take them back for godmother to eat!
But her tiny body was really too small; as soon as she pulled some in, others slipped out, and after working hard for quite a while, she hadn’t gathered many candies.
Instead, she attracted the attention of the adults chatting nearby.
Old Master Shu wasn’t the least bit polite, pointing at those candies and saying to Qin Qiong, “When it’s over, pack all these from the hotel and take them home for my darling grandson.”
Qin Qiong nodded hastily on the side, indicating that it was a given. Not only would this private room be packed up, but after the engagement banquet here was over, he would surely send anything left at home as well, making every effort to please Old Master Shu.
