Chapter 353: Chapter 353 Uncle (3)_1

None of the two photos were retrieved, which left him irate, so he decided to come over in person before returning to his unit.

Moreover, he intended to take Little Jiaojiao to have a picture taken, a portrait of the two of them together, and then send a copy to each of those two people, to infuriate them, to leave them salivating with envy!

Thinking this, Shu Lang couldn’t help it and let out a laugh while holding Ruan Jiaojiao in his arms.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

Shu Lang truly adored Ruan Jiaojiao, never feeling it was enough. Once he held her in his arms, he was reluctant to let go, not minding the heat of the sweltering day.

The Ruanlin Family brought out an electric fan and aimed it at Ruan Jiaojiao and Shu Lang, which finally gave her some relief from the heat.

Shu Lang sat Ruan Jiaojiao on his lap, occasionally touching her face or her little hands, his gaze filled with affection, completely oblivious to the presence of a beautiful little boy beside him, casting an unfriendly look in his direction.

By the time he noticed, Xiu Xi had already shifted his gaze away.

With a touch of surprise, Shu Lang looked at the little boy who had sat down beside him without knowing when and asked the Ruanlin Family, "Auntie, this child is..."

"He’s a child we’ve adopted. It’s quite a story, but he and Jiaojiao get along well. Jiaojiao had some trouble a few days ago, and it was he who saved her, so we adopted her. He’s a good child," the Ruanlin Family explained, making a particular note of the incident where he saved Ruan Jiaojiao.

Indeed, upon hearing that Xiu Xi had saved Ruan Jiaojiao, Shu Lang’s gaze towards him softened considerably.

But—

"The eyes of this child, his father is a foreigner?"

"No, he’s from our village. His eyes are naturally like this." Actually, whether they were natural or not, the Ruanlin Family wasn’t sure, as she hadn’t paid much attention to him previously, only remembering that when she did pay attention, his eyes were already this color.

"Oh, that’s quite rare then, probably something to do with recessive genes from his ancestors," Shu Lang said nonchalantly, nodding. However, his mind conjured up another pair of eyes he had seen once before.

But, it must be a coincidence; how could this little mountain village have any connection with that household?

"Uncle, why is it just you visiting this time? Where’s my mom?" Ruan Jie asked, his excitement fading as he remembered that Shu Jie hadn’t returned, his mood dropping.

Ruan Jianguo, upon learning he was Shu Jie’s brother, had been eager to ask why she hadn’t come back with him. Now that his son had asked first, he couldn’t contain his impatience either and hastily inquired, "Is your sister well? And your father... How’s my father-in-law doing?"

My father-in-law...

Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t hold back and laughed at the sight of her father’s obsequious expression.

Her dad was really not cut out for such poetic language.

Shu Lang was also taken aback by his words, but it was the Ruanlin Family on the other side who couldn’t bear to watch any longer. She glared at Ruan Jianguo and asked Shu Lang, "We saw in the letter we received last time that you said your father wasn’t well. We’ve been concerned about it too. How is he doing now?"

"Yes, my father’s health has improved a lot. However, to be fully recovered, it will still take some time. Currently, there’s no one else to take care of him at home, so my sister couldn’t help but stay there to care for our father." Knowing the Ruan Family was anxious, he paused for a few seconds, then added, "Once our father’s health is a bit better, they will come over together. You don’t need to worry."

The whole Gu Family cared deeply about the family Shu Jie had married into. If it weren’t for the shortage of time, with school already in session, Shu Wen would have definitely made a trip to visit as well.
