Chapter 694 The Sister Over There (9)_1

Nanny Liu hesitated, "Madam, I feel that something is off about the little boy with the young miss."

Ever since that little boy had an encounter with the incense burner incident, he had been avoiding her, clearly knowing something. Yet, she couldn’t believe it possible, for all had turned to ashes. Even the young masters had never noticed anything, let alone a half-grown boy.

Upon hearing this, Madam Yuan paused in wiping the frame, pondered for a while, and then said, "Let him be. I’m already old. What is meant to come will always find its way. I never intended for others to bear the consequences on my behalf. I just hope she can be well. "

"Madam, don’t say that. The young miss would surely be grateful if she knew. You had no choice back then," Nanny Liu said with sorrowful eyes.

They were all her own flesh and blood. Who would willingly abandon their child unless they were driven to a dead end?

Madam Yuan did not respond but simply shook her head gently.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi did not go straight back to the Ruan Family, but to the Ruan’s restaurant instead.

The restaurant had expanded and hired more workers. Whenever Xiu Xun had time, he would help out. It was now midday, the busiest time.

As Ruan Jiaojiao entered from outside, Xiu Xun was carrying plates to the private rooms. His eyes brightened at the sight of Ruan Jiaojiao, but then dimmed instantly upon seeing Xiu Xi behind her.

He simply nodded at Ruan Jiaojiao, then proceeded into the room with the plates.

As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao stepped in, she yawned, covering her little mouth. Seeing Xiu Xun greeting her, she quickly nodded back, her eyes brimming with tears.

When Xiu Xun was through the door, she turned to Xiu Xi and said, "Brother Xi, I’m sleepy, I’m going to take a nap first."

Ruan Jiaojiao slept until past four in the afternoon. Xiu Xi, fearing she would continue sleeping and have trouble falling asleep at night and then struggle to wake up the next day, took a basin of water to the spare room to wake her up.

By now, the restaurant was no longer busy.

Xiu Xun, seated at a table doing his homework, saw Xiu Xi carrying a basin into the room where Ruan Jiaojiao was sleeping. His gaze flickered.

Just then, Jianguo happened to be returning from stocking up on supplies. Xiu Xun immediately set down his pen, "Uncle Jianguo, Jiaojiao is here, sleeping in your room."

Jianguo was instructing the workers to unload the goods. Upon hearing this, he brightened with a smile and strode towards the room. Xiu Xun sat back down, seemingly continuing his homework, yet his ears were pricked up, attentively listening to the noises inside the room.

Ruan Jiaojiao was already awake, refreshing herself with a cool, damp towel on her face. As she lowered the towel, she was startled by Jianguo’s dark, broad face.

"My dear..." Jianguo looked a little hurt, "Don’t you want to see daddy?"

"..." Could Ruan Jiaojiao say she didn’t want to see him?

And didn’t Jianguo know that such scares could scare someone to death?

Of course, Ruan Jiaojiao could not say she didn’t wish to see him, instead she put on a good daughter’s expression, "No, dad, you’ve sweated a lot, you should wash your face."

"Eh, my dear is so good." Jianguo, touched, didn’t mind at all and splashed his face with the water his daughter had used to wash. Afterward, he didn’t use her towel to dry off, but picked one hanging on the bed instead, giving his face a quick wipe.
