Chapter 283: Deja Vu (6)
All of this made him feel really guilty.
In the dead of night, he closed his eyes and dared not think about it all.
He was afraid that he would collapse.
He owed this family too much, and owed the first wife too much. He was afraid that he would never be able to pay it back in this lifetime.
As Ruan Jiandang spoke, he became sad and tears flowed. Another glass of wine was poured into his mouth. Ruan Jianjun wanted to grab it, but was stopped by Ruan Linshi.
Ruan Linshi looked at the unconscious Ruan Jiandang and seemed very calm: "Let him talk, it's better than keeping it in your heart. There are no outsiders here."
Three of the four sons were doing well, but Ruan Jiandang was the only one who lived like this. It would be a lie for Ruan Linshi to say that she didn't feel distressed.
But what could she do?
He had found Liu Zhaodi himself and wanted to marry her. No one forced him.
He also indulged Liu Zhaodi. She lived her life on her own and had nothing to do with others. No
one could be blamed for this. Second
Uncle Ruan was still talking, and he even burst into tears at the end. Ruan Jiaojiao quietly retreated, and Xu Xu followed behind.
The two sat on the threshold of the back door of the kitchen, watching the lamb, which had grown a lot, hopping over on its legs.
"Mee..." the lamb cried. Maybe after two months of observation, it found that Xu Xu would not hurt it. When it approached Ruan Jiaojiao, it did not tremble like before.
He rubbed Ruan Jiaojiao's little hand with his little head, and kept acting coquettishly.
Rourou wagged his tail, looked for a while, and rubbed against them, but was immediately frightened by Xu Xu's fierce look and started to howl and roll back.
"Brother Xu..." Ruan Jiaojiao shouted helplessly.
Xu Xu snorted.
It meant that he would not compromise!
Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at him, and was completely immune to his little awkwardness.
Now that Ruan Qing's crisis was resolved, it would be Ruan Chi's turn next.
Ruan Jiaojiao was thinking about what to do next, and because she had just finished her meal, her mind was a little confused, and she unknowingly leaned her head slowly on Xu Xu's shoulder beside her...
But after a few minutes, Ruan Jiaojiao's breathing became steady.
Xu Xu tilted his head cautiously, and when he saw that she closed her eyes, he quickly turned his head back, protecting her with his hands behind her back, carefully supporting her, not daring to move, for fear of disturbing her. In front of
the door was a green mountain, and behind them was a stove that was still emitting heat. The two of them sat next to each other on the doorstep, with Rourou lying on one side. From a distance, it looked as beautiful as a painting...
When Ruan Lin entered the kitchen, she saw such a scene. She was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled. The anger that had just arisen in the main room because of Ruan Jiandang disappeared instantly.
She walked over and wanted to call for help, but before she could say anything, she saw Xu Xu holding Ruan Jiaojiao's head with one hand, turning his head and whispering, "Jiaojiao is asleep."
"Well, I'll hold her gently and won't wake her up." Ruan Lin said, "You're too tired like this."
Xu Xu said nothing, his eyes drooped and his expression was dim.
He didn't feel tired at all, he thought it was good this way.
In the past, in the forest, he could accompany her while she fell asleep, but now... with Ruan Lin and other people in the Ruan family, there was no place for him by her side.
Although Xu Xu was reluctant, Ruan Jiaojiao was still picked up.
After being sent to the house and falling asleep, Xu Xu saw Ruan Lin go out, looked at the sleeping Ruan Jiaojiao for a while, took off his shoes, climbed up, and slept next to her.
