Chapter 354

Before Rong Rong could react, the big dog nuzzled its head against her chest and rubbed against her.

It rubbed against Rongrong's neck one moment, and against Rongrong's arm the next, and its big, fluffy tail on its back was shaking so happily it was almost like a propeller.

Looking at the big dog's eyes now, where was the coldness? It was clearly just plain naiveté! This look didn't match its cool and handsome appearance at all, but it was very reassuring.

Rong Rong relaxed her body and pushed the big dog's head, trying to get it to move off her.

But Rong Rong was too weak to push him. Fortunately, Tai Xiao and Quan Jia had arrived. Tai Xiao roughly grabbed Alexander's ear and roared, "Get out of here!"

As she spoke, she slapped Alexander a few times. Alexander finally slumped back with his head down, while Quan Jia quickly helped Rong Rong up and pulled her behind her.

"Is this the dog you brought?" Rong Rong asked, her delicate voice instantly making Quan Jia and the other blush.

Quan Jia then stammered an explanation, "Yes, we brought it. We scared you."

At this moment, Quan Jia was extremely nervous. He was afraid that the little princess in front of him would find out that he had deliberately released the dog to scare her, and he was even more afraid that the little princess would shed tears.

He had long forgotten that he hated girls crying, and even more so, he hated any little girl being called a princess.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't keep Alexander in check. You can scold him! You can scold me too! It's my fault!"

While Quan Jia was still feeling uneasy, Tai Xiao quickly apologized, then pushed past him to get closer to Rong Rong, lowering his head as if to be at her mercy.

Rong Rong didn't know that the two were deliberately trying to scare him, so she didn't blame him too much. She just patted Tai Xiao's fluffy head and said softly, "It's okay, Alexander is quite cute too."

Quan Jia saw Rong Rong touching Tai Xiao's head, and her eyes turned a little red.

I was annoyed that I was too slow to react and didn't apologize first.

He had almost never apologized before and was quite unfamiliar with this behavior. His lips opened and closed several times, but he did not say the words "I'm sorry".

In those few short minutes, Tai Xiao had already made Rong Rong laugh several times with his witty remarks, and even made Alexander lie down and expose his belly for Rong Rong to touch.

"Is it really that well-behaved?" Rong Rong exclaimed in surprise.

The smile on her face dazzled Tai Xiao.

“Yes! It’s always been very well-behaved. It does whatever my sister wants it to do!” Tai Xiao’s eyes were bright with excitement. After saying that, Alexander added almost without thinking.

"I'll be a good girl too. From now on, I'll listen to my sister and protect her. If she tells me to go east, I'll never go west!"

"Really?" Rong Rong blinked her big eyes like twinkling stars, her curled eyelashes like fans, as if fluttering in Tai Xiao's heart.

He swallowed hard. "Of course it's true!"

"Okay! I believe you!" Rong Rong stretched out her small hand, and Tai Xiao quickly gave her a high five.

The two of them seemed to exist in their own world, making everything around them seem like mere background.

At this moment, Quan Jia suddenly remembered the adults' usual evaluations of Tai Xiao.

They say his mouth is like honey, and he speaks sweetly and eloquently.

Screw the honey!

He clearly deserves a beating for his mouth.

Quan Jia, who was clumsy with words and stubborn, was so angry that her eyes turned red. She gritted her teeth and wished she could beat Tai Xiao up.

Why does the little princess he likes only smile at Tai Xiao? Why is it that Tai Xiao was able to express his desire to protect the little princess faster than he was?

Quan Jia clenched her fists, about to pounce on Tai Xiao, when a gentle female voice came from behind.

"Rongrong, are you ready? The banquet is about to begin."

The three of them turned their heads in unison and saw Quan's mother walking over with a smile.

However, the smile on the other person's face vanished in an instant. "Quan Jia, Tai Xiao? What are you doing here?"

"And Alexander? You've brought your dog here again on purpose to scare people? Trying to frighten Rong Rong?"

......

There was a moment of silence.

Tai Xiao and Quan Jin looked at Rong Rong in alarm at the same time. Rong Rong was initially taken aback, but soon her face was full of anger. She glared at Tai Xiao and then ran to Quan's mother with a pitiful expression, burying herself in her mother's arms.

"You two brats, I knew you'd bully Rong Rong! Get out of here! And don't ever show your faces in front of Rong Rong again!"

Quan's mother was furious and no longer had her usual gentle demeanor.

Quan Jia's mother, who used to be happy watching Quan Jia, Quan Yu, and Tai Xiao fight each other, lost her temper for the first time because of Quan Jia and Tai Xiao's naughtiness.

"Auntie!"

"Auntie!"

The two wailed, and even Alexander lay on the ground, covering his head with his two front paws.

Quan's mother ignored her and picked up Rongrong and left.

Quan Jia and Tai Xiao were kicked out, and they ran into Quan Jin in the courtyard not long after they left.

"What's wrong?" Quan Jin looked at the two of them strangely. It was a miracle that the two troublemakers had suddenly become so listless.

"It's nothing." Quan Jia shook his head, his evasive eyes instantly betraying his guilty conscience.

Quan Jin, who knew his younger brother well, sighed, "You two be good. Your uncle, aunt, and Quan Yu all like that girl very much. From now on, she will be our little sister."

"Yes!" Quan Jia replied loudly, startling Quan Jin. "Of course! From now on, she's my sister! Family! I'll definitely cherish her!"

"And me! From now on, she'll be my own sister! I'll definitely treat her well!" Tai Xiao retorted, not to be outdone.

The two of them spoke louder than each other, and their serious expressions made it seem like they were making an oath.

Quan Jin was so surprised that he forgot to react until the two had walked away before he came to his senses.

In Quan Jin's eyes, the two of them were like they had taken the wrong medicine. He knew that they had never liked little girls and loved to tease them.

He had been worried for a long time that the two of them would bully Rong Rong, but the two of them did the opposite of what he expected.

Quan Jin was puzzled, but he soon understood everything.

As the banquet began, everyone saw an angel descended to earth.

This is not a metaphor, but reality. At this moment, everyone genuinely believes that the girl who walked over by Quan's mother's hand is an angel. If angels really exist, they must look like the girl in front of them.

She was stunningly beautiful, radiantly beautiful, and dazzlingly beautiful. Even though she was young, she was still so beautiful that it made people's hearts tremble.

People can't imagine how amazing the other person will look when they grow up.

Quan Jin finally understood why his younger brother and cousin had acted so strangely: it was because that girl was unique, and she deserved it!

Since the Quan family banquet that day, rumors have been circulating in high society again.

The entire Quan family adored the adopted girl, treating her like a princess and even being somewhat fanatical about her, much like fans idolizing their idol.

People didn't understand, but they did understand one thing: how they should treat each other—with respect and reverence.

The other party is the real eldest daughter of the Quan family, the princess of the Quan family.

Sometimes blood ties aren't that important; what matters is your value and whether you're valued within your family.

If you are valued, you can still be a princess even if you are adopted!
