Chapter 1431: Catnapping (Part 9)
Jiaojiao withdrew her gaze, obediently resting on his thigh, planning to wait for a chance to ask later.
The car stopped at a mid-range restaurant, and once Ruan Hao carried her out, Jiaojiao realized that they were celebrating the completion of their team project.
Earlier, that girl was the daughter of the project supervisor. As soon as Ruan Hao carried Jiaojiao in, the Ye-named supervisor called out, "Huh, it’s just you guys? Where’s Zuya?"
The three boys heard this and were trying to figure out how to respond when they heard Ruan Hao say, "Zuya is afraid of cats, so to save time, she took the initiative to take the bus. She should be here soon."
"???" The three boys were like, wasn’t it you who made her storm off in anger?
Apparently, the Ye supervisor was also aware of his daughter’s temper; he knew she wasn’t the understanding type.
With her temperament, she would have probably thrown the cat out of the car before getting in herself.
The Ye supervisor was a bit skeptical, but upon flipping his gaze to Ruan Hao’s handsome face, he shifted his thoughts. His daughter might be a bit spoiled, but she genuinely fancied this student, so maybe she suddenly became understanding to win over her crush.
"But why did you bring a cat over?" The Ye supervisor looked helplessly at the chubby little cat in his arms, with an expression of ’wanting to say something but stopping short’: "You dressed it in that outfit too."
"Meow?" Is my outfit ugly?
Jiaojiao glanced down at her little red floral vest. Before leaving the house, the big brother said this looked the best, and asked her to wear it, saying it matched her little green bag.
"The elders at home are in poor health and have no time to take care of her. She’s still young, and we worry about accidents happening at home, so I brought her along." Ruan Hao replied with a smile, reaching out to pat Jiaojiao’s little vest, which she was looking down at due to Ye’s comment.
Meanwhile, far away at the Shu family garden, Old Master Shu was tending to the vegetable garden with the Ruanlin family, when he suddenly sneezed several times.
"Achoo, achoo, achoo..."
"Caught a cold?" Ruanlin looked over, muttering, "Let’s make some ginger tea tonight. It’s autumn, and the chill is heavy at night. Drinking ginger tea can ward off the cold."
Old Master Shu wiped his nose with the back of his hand and nodded. He figured he had caught a chill and lamented with Ruanlin that as they grow older, their bodies are less durable and that they must take good care of themselves. After all, they want to see Jiaojiao grow up, get married, and have children in the future.
Speaking of this, the two elders had plenty to talk about and quickly forgot the sneezing episode.
Back with Jiaojiao, she was stunned by Ruan Hao’s response, looking up at him with surprise.
She found that Ruan Hao today was beyond her understanding. Where did he learn the ability to lie with open eyes?
"Oh, I see." The Ye supervisor wasn’t suspicious. He didn’t know Ruan Hao’s family background well, only aware that when Ruan Hao was studying, he often went back to visit his grandpa, thinking he only had this grandpa.
Moreover, there isn’t a notable family named Ruan in Beidu. He assumed Ruan Hao came from an ordinary background, but he didn’t hold family status in high regard. In his view, Ruan Hao’s character and knowledge were just right to match his daughter, even if his background wasn’t as impressive. In fact, since he had only one daughter, Ye Zuya, he hoped she would find someone to be a live-in son-in-law; someone like Ruan Hao fit that perfectly.
