The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 1750: Engagement Banquet (Part 2)

When the little girl stopped to drink water, Duan Qianyang said seriously, "Jiaojiao, thank you."

"Huh?" Ruan Jiaojiao was taken aback, raised her head, and upon seeing Duan Qianyang’s serious expression, instantly understood what he meant. Being thanked so formally by an elder made Ruan Jiaojiao feel a bit embarrassed, and she scratched her head. "Well, um..."

Just as she was about to finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side, "Uncle?"

Ruan Jiaojiao heard the voice, and upon looking over, saw that at some point two girls had appeared beside them, wearing the same school uniform, with Feng Nianian standing at the front.

"Uncle, it really is you, I thought I was mistaken just now!" Feng Nianian exclaimed with some surprise as she saw Duan Qianyang turn his head.

The smile on Duan Qianyang’s lips faintly receded as he looked at Feng Nianian and said, "Nianian, are you here to eat?"

"Yes!" Feng Nianian nodded, then politely smiled at Ruan Jiaojiao before turning back to Duan Qianyang, pointing at the spot beside him and asked expectantly, "Uncle, can we sit here?" She stuck out her tongue playfully, looking a bit embarrassed.

This kind of situation was naturally hard for Duan Qianyang to refuse, just as he was about to nod, Duan Xi, who had already ordered and was carrying a tray, walked over and bluntly refused, "No."

Saying this, he stepped aside between the two and stood at the edge of the table. With limited space, Feng Nianian and her friend, who were standing by the table, were forced to step back two steps.

"This is hot, drink a little to warm your stomach." Duan Xi placed the tray on the table and handed a cup of warm soy milk to Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao took it and used the straw that Duan Xi inserted to take a sip. The warm soy milk slid down her throat and into her stomach, and she couldn’t help but show a satisfied little expression.

Her gaze still rested on Feng Nianian beside her.

Being directly rejected in front of her friend, and by her own cousin, Feng Nianian’s expression almost cracked, and for a few seconds, her smile froze.

But she knew well how formidable Duan Xi was and just how ruthless he could be. In the past, just for Ruan Jiaojiao, who was still a cat, he’d kicked and broken several of her ribs. Facing his rejection, she dared not show anything, only looked to Duan Qianyang for help.

Duan Qianyang was also in a bit of a bind. Between his son and his niece, he knew what was more important, and could only say helplessly, "Nianian, if you want to eat something, you and your friend can order, Uncle will treat you." Saying this, he took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred yuan bill, and handed it to her.

As for sitting together, he completely skipped over it.

Feng Nianian wasn’t foolish and naturally understood what Duan Qianyang meant. She paused, and in a few seconds quickly forced a smile, giving herself a way out, "So Uncle doesn’t have enough space here. I’ll go sit over there with my friend. We’ll go order first, thank you, Uncle."

After speaking, she took the bill from his hand, waved to Duan Xi, and then went to the counter with her friend to order.

But the moment she turned her head, the smile that had just risen vanished completely from her face, replaced with a cold look in her eyes. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The change from a face full of smiles to an icy one was so quick it startled her friend, leaving the question on the tip of her tongue unasked.
