The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1718: Engagement (15)
Especially the chocolates Jiaojiao grabbed, just by looking at the packaging, you could tell they were fancy stuff, so none of the four dared to take any.
Jiaojiao didn’t say much else, she just opened the bags one by one, looking troubled, and said, "Look, if it wasn’t for the fact that I have extras, I wouldn’t have invited you to eat, you know? I really have too much to eat by myself, so could you please help me out?"
How about it?
Of course, yes!
The four of them expressed that no one could say no looking into Jiaojiao’s big twinkling eyes. By the time they realized it, they were already holding stuff and heading back to the dormitory.
After the four left, Jiaojiao tidied up her cupboard, stuffing the week’s new foods inside. Later, when Li Que, Liang Wenjing, and Cao Qiu came in, Jiaojiao had already laid out the fruits and candies she wanted to share on the table.
The three of them knew Jiaojiao came from a wealthy family and always had plenty of food, so they weren’t as reserved as they were initially; when Jiaojiao offered, they accepted generously.
Li Que peeled a liquor-filled chocolate while curiously asking Jiaojiao, "Little One, is someone in your family having a wedding? These chocolates are really nice, they must be expensive."
Jiaojiao was on her bed, fumbling with the bedsheet. She could only manage one side, leaving the sheet wrinkled, and the quilt was all balled up inside. Her strength was lacking as she tried to imitate the Ruanlin Family way of fluffing the quilt. Not only did she fail to straighten it out, but she also ended up sweating profusely.
Eventually, it was Cao Qiu who went up to help her out. Jiaojiao thanked her and said, "Yes, the engagement date with Brother Xi has been set. If you all are willing, you’re invited to come and have fun at the event."
"Wait a minute, did I just hear something wrong?" Li Que waved her hand, pausing mid-candy peel, asking Jiaojiao in disbelief, while Liang Wenjing and Cao Qiu also looked at her in shock.
"So, is this the engagement candy for you and Brother Xi?!!!"
Jiaojiao spoke so bashfully that she could barely keep her composure, "Well, it’s not really engagement candy. I’m still young, I can’t get married yet, we’ve just set the engagement date, it doesn’t count as engagement candy."
"Oh my gosh! Little One, did you guys take a rocket?" Declaring love and getting engaged within three days, who else could be this fast!
Li Que immediately pulled her over, and under three pairs of eager eyes, Jiaojiao briefly described what happened.
Li Que was at a loss for words, but Liang Wenjing, after a few seconds of silence, asked Jiaojiao, "About this matter, Jiaojiao, how did your family learn about it so quickly? Did you tell them yourself?"
Said so swiftly it made sense at school, but how did the Ruan Family find out?
Jiaojiao was stunned by this.
Blinking, and blinking again.
Right! How did her family find out about this? She spent several days at home and never realized this detail!
Could it have been Brother Xi who told them?
But Jiaojiao felt that wasn’t it. The day Brother Xi came to the school was already the second day after the confession, and that day when she and Duan Xi returned, Duan Qianyang had already come to her home to discuss the engagement date. Clearly, the family knew even before Brother Xi!
Jiaojiao was puzzled. How did the news leak out?
