Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Three Naive Ghosts (1)_1

Suddenly, Xiaojun’s entire face stiffened.

"!!!" Yuan Xiaodong, she actually called his great-grandma "Grandma"!!!

In the past two months, Ruan Jiaojiao had been in touch with the elderly matriarch of the Yuan Family quite a lot; almost every time she came to the city, she’d stop by to see her, and the old lady enjoyed her company, insisting on having her stay for lunch each time.

But she’d never imagined the old lady would turn out to be Yuan Xiaodong’s great-grandma.

Seeing Yuan Xiaodong’s face turn a shade of dark purple, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but burst into hysterical laughter.

This time, she couldn’t avoid being called "auntie" or "aunt."

Watching Ruan Jiaojiao laughing like that left everyone puzzled, but once they understood the whole story, they all burst into laughter, teasing him to call Ruan Jiaojiao "little auntie," which infuriated Yuan Xiaodong so much he nearly cried. In the end, under Xiu Xi’s icy stare, he managed to call out "little auntie."

The crowd erupted into laughter again, and Yuan Xiaodong, fuming, turned and went to a corner to sulk.

However, it didn’t take long before he trotted back over to her and Xiu Xi, resuming his role as the eager little brother.

Seeing Xiu Xi helping with pouring tea, he also carried a kettle, bustling behind him, eager to assist.

He was following Xiu Xi, but in the eyes of the adults, he was trailing behind Ruan Jiaojiao.

The elderly Mrs. Yuan joked to the Ruanlin Family matriarch, "Look at Xiaodong, how fond he is of Jiaojiao. Why don’t we take this opportunity and set up a childhood engagement?"

Chen Hong, Yuan Xiaodong’s mother, also adored Ruan Jiaojiao. Hearing this, she turned to Shu Jiao and said with a laugh, "Exactly, I am so fond of your Jiaojiao too. Why not let her marry Xiaodong? Our family has only this one son, so there will definitely be no conflicts between sisters-in-law in the future. And as her mother-in-law, I like her so much, there will surely be no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues."

Shu Jiao knew they were just joking and simply listened with a smile, without responding.

Meanwhile, Xiu Xi, who was pouring tea at the time, had very sharp ears. Hearing the conversation, he glanced at Yuan Xiaodong, who was chattering beside him, and almost lost his grip on the kettle, nearly flinging it at him.

And innocent Xiaodong kept calling him "Elder Brother Xiu" repeatedly, even after getting a fierce glare from Xiu Xi, he remained cluelessly puzzled.

Someone teased Ruan Jiaojiao, "What about you, Jiaojiao? When you grow up, would you marry Xiaodong? Look at our Xiaodong, so diligent in serving tea and water. He’s sure to be a husband who dotes on his wife."

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at Yuan Xiaodong who was still running after Xiu Xi and thought to herself, she would not want a little brother who was such a pushover, only knowing how to follow others around.

But with a smile on her face, she said, "No, when Jiaojiao grows up, she won’t get married. She’ll stay with her family forever. My dad said that our family can support Jiaojiao, and she doesn’t need to marry."

Her childish talk once again provoked everyone into laughter.

Having finished pouring the water, Xiu Xi heard her words and his normally icy face finally returned to normal.

But the sight of Yuan Xiaodong still trailing behind was bothersome to him.

He glared at him fiercely once more before turning around and walking back to Ruan Jiaojiao.

The others stopped teasing them and went on to chat and laugh among themselves.

Ruan Jiaojiao felt that Xiaodong, such an obedient little brother who even helped them pour water, deserved a reward, so she took out two pieces of chocolate from her pocket and handed them to him.

Yuan Xiaodong’s face lit up with delight at the sight and he quickly reached out to grab them, but before he could, Xiu Xi slapped his hand away.

"He doesn’t like them," said Xiu Xi expressionlessly as he peeled the wrappers off the chocolates, giving one to himself, and the other to Ruan Jiaojiao.
