Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Strange and Bizarre

"You got Luo Gaoyuan drunk?"

Ruan Hongzhuang turned back and saw Hong Wenqing struggling to help Luo Gaoyuan into the car.

Taozi kept looking back, grinning, "You’re so bad."

"It’s got nothing to do with me; he got himself drunk. He really likes you," Shen Siyuan said to Ruan Hongzhuang.

Ruan Hongzhuang replied nonchalantly, "There’s plenty of people who like me."

After speaking, she glanced at Shen Siyuan as if to say, "I’ve only got eyes for you, so you better cherish it."

Then she stepped on the gas and drove off.

As they passed by Hong Wenqing’s car, Shen Siyuan waved to him.

"We’ll catch up later."

Hong Wenqing gave a thumbs up, watching the red convertible drive past him.

Even brothers improved, relying on comfort; he had to work hard to inherit the family business.

"What did you have for dinner?"

"Hot pot," Taozi answered.

"Hot pot again, you guys really love hot pot."

Shen Siyuan noticed that whenever the two went out, they usually had hot pot.

"You should ask your Ruan Ruan. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t eat it," Taozi said discontentedly.

Ruan Hongzhuang, who was driving, chuckled, "Hot pot is a mix of flavors; whatever you eat can be found in a hot pot."

"Exaggerating, only you think so." Taozi glanced at her with disdain.

"Of course not, Siyuan, don’t you think I’m right?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked Shen Siyuan, who was sitting in the back seat, with a smile.

"Yes, you’re absolutely right, I’m a hundred and twenty percent in agreement," Shen Siyuan said without hesitation.

"See?" Ruan Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow at Taozi proudly.

Taozi, being smart, wouldn’t say something like "you two are in cahoots."

Instead, she said sarcastically, "He didn’t even think before saying yes, clearly just paying lip service."

"Siyuan, are you being sincere?"

"Sincere."

"See."

Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at Taozi again.

Shen Siyuan realized that Ruan Hongzhuang especially enjoyed teasing others, as if it were a source of joy in her life.

"That means he had already thought of the answer; did his ex-girlfriend often ask him the same?" Taozi said facetiously.

Shen Siyuan: ...

Ruan Hongzhuang could tell Taozi was doing it on purpose but still cooperatively glanced at Shen Siyuan in the rearview mirror and asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Shen Siyuan nodded with a smile.

Ruan Hongzhuang immediately huffed softly, and Taozi, sitting in the passenger seat, leaned in towards Ruan Hongzhuang, cooing, "See? In the end, I’m the one who loves you the most."

"Stop it, I’m driving."

"I’m not messing around, just ditch this useless man and be with me," Taozi continued.

"Alright, as long as the three of us have a good life, that’s what’s most important."

Shen Siyuan: ...

"You... what are you talking about?" Taozi said coyly, blushing.

She wanted to look back and see Shen Siyuan’s reaction, but she didn’t dare, turning red with shyness.

Some things can be said in private but not upfront.

"Did you guys have some drinks tonight too?" Shen Siyuan asked helplessly.

Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t answer but took a look at Shen Siyuan through the rearview mirror.

Just then their eyes met, and her heart skipped a beat, making her involuntarily flustered.

"Focus on driving," Shen Siyuan reminded.

"Oh, okay."

Ruan Hongzhuang snapped back and concentrated on driving. They all fell silent, the atmosphere turning awkward.

Until they got out of the car, Ruan Hongzhuang called Shen Siyuan to help carry things.

"You bought so much stuff?"

Shen Siyuan looked at the trunk filled with big and small bags, tongue-tied.

"Most of it is for you," Ruan Hongzhuang said, lifting a few bags.

"These are what I picked for you."

Then she took out a few more bags.

"These are what Taozi picked for you."

Shen Siyuan looked towards Taozi.

Taozi, blushing, avoided his gaze, half her body buried in the trunk, rummaging for something.

Ruan Hongzhuang patted her on the butt lightly.

"Move, don’t get in the way."

Taozi finally stood up, blushing, trying to ease the awkwardness by holding a bag in front of her chest.

Ruan Hongzhuang chuckled, then took all the things out, and they went upstairs to go home together.

Shen Siyuan walked ahead, while Ruan Hongzhuang deliberately lagged a few steps behind with Taozi, whispering about something.

Shen Siyuan opened the door to find the house was dark, puzzled, "Hey, is Mao Sanmei and Tang Tang not home?"

Ruan Hongzhuang replied, "Sanmei told me they’re at Duoduo’s place tonight."

Just then, Taozi seemed to have snapped back to her usual cheerful self and said, "Should I call them back?"

She was at the back, and a few steps would take her directly to Duoduo’s door.

"No need, let them have fun."

Shen Siyuan heard Dou Dou’s loud voice.

-----------------

"I’m telling you, I’m amazing. I single-handedly took down two little kids; everyone calls me the Big Bully."

Dou Dou stood with one hand on her hip and the other hand raised high, sharing her life experiences with Duoduo and Tang Tang.

"Really, where are they? How come I don’t see them?"

Duoduo turned to look around, seemingly searching for the little ghosts Dou Dou had claimed to take down.

"They’re scared of me and have gone back to their hometowns," Dou Dou said earnestly.

"→_→"

Duoduo knew she was bluffing, just like Bo Bo, playing along with her.

"han~"

Tang Tang was also "listening" to Dou Dou’s bragging and feeling quite amused.

Because Dou Dou’s body language was so expressive, speaking with animated brows and gesturing, it was like dancing.

So Tang Tang naturally "listened" amusedly, watching her like a monkey.

But she was merely giggling, giving Dou Dou insufficient emotional feedback.

So Dou Dou pinched her chubby cheeks.

"Say it, am I awesome?"

"Little Doudou."

Tang Tang formed a hand gesture like a gun aimed at Dou Dou.

"What?" Dou Dou scratched her head, puzzled by her meaning.

"Stop bullying Tang Tang."

Duoduo patted Dou Dou on the back of her hand.

Dou Dou withdrew her little hand quickly and feigned a "fierce" look, "Don’t provoke me, I’m really powerful, I’ve defeated two kids."

"So what, you can’t beat me," Duoduo said proudly.

Dou Dou was stumped and couldn’t come up with a reply.

"And, you’re not impressive at all; you can’t even take your own head off."

Dou Dou: ...

Tao Guangsha: "What’s she doing?"

Tao Guangsha saw Dou Dou clutching her head, with her butt poked out and her body squirming incessantly, and curiously asked his wife, Jiang Wenxin.

"How would I know? Her little brain is filled with oddities every day."

Jiang Wenxin confessed she’s gotten used to it.

Then the couple’s attention was quickly diverted by something Lin Jianming and his partner said.

Only Dou Dou continued persistently trying to pull her own head off.
