The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 793 I’m Your Uncle (1)_1

Actually, Jiang Bin had noticed it last time, but he was in a rush and didn’t get the chance to ask.

He had seen many people keeping dogs; in Beidu, many large households would keep them as guard dogs. If they wanted something more ferocious, some would keep a Tibetan mastiff, a wolf dog, or the like, but he had never seen anyone keeping a wolf.

Especially one that was raised to be so well-behaved—it was unprecedented.

Therefore, the Ruan Family’s actions seemed rather surprising to him.

"Xiu Xi gave it to us," Ruan Jiaojiao answered.

Last time, Meat Meat stopped Ruan Wei from being kidnapped, which was a great service. Because of that, the Ruanlin Family had been cooking two bones for it almost every day, leading to Meat Meat being even fatter than before, strutting around with an air of indifference to everyone.

However, even though it was very fat, Meat Meat remained an agile fat wolf. That bit of flesh didn’t hinder its valiance at all, like right now, as it followed them all the way here, receiving greetings from numerous dogs, essentially becoming a boss among the village dogs.

"Xiu Xi?" Jiang Bin was also quite interested in Xiu Xi.

It was mainly his pair of eyes that were so striking.

Sometimes he even felt an illusion that in such a small mountain village, it seemed as if there were many secrets hidden, making people want to explore and find out.

"Yes," Ruan Jiaojiao nodded.

"Does he share the surname Xiu with Xiu Xun; are they relatives?"

"They are cousins, their fathers are real brothers."

"Real brothers? Then why haven’t I seen his parents?"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t respond but looked up at Jiang Bin with confusion, feeling that his interest in Xiu Xi seemed too keen. All along the way, he didn’t ask about Xiu Xun but kept asking about Xiu Xi, giving her the mistaken impression that he might actually be more interested in Xiu Xi.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t want to say too much about Xiu Xi.

Because Xiu Xi was not the person they thought he was; he was a wolf, her best little companion.

Ruan Jiaojiao grew wary of Jiang Bin, innocently asking, "Uncle Jiang, why do you keep asking about Xiu Xi? Don’t you care about your nephew anymore? You should be careful, or Xiu Xun might get jealous if he finds out."

Jiang Bin was taken aback, looking at Ruan Jiaojiao as she innocently blinked her eyes, and then he burst into laughter.

It was a hearty laugh that showed his joy.

He squatted down, pinched her chubby little cheeks, and said, "Jiaojiao, your auntie said you were a little imp, and she was right."

In their interactions over the past half-month, Jiang Bin found that Ruan Jiaojiao was really clever. She was young, but she knew a lot of things. If he had to describe her in one word, it would be ’child prodigy.’

Actually, this term isn’t always a compliment, because some children’s worldly wisdom and shrewdness can make adults uncomfortable or even embarrassed. But Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t like that. She used her cleverness in a way that made it easy for adults to accept, and they might even feel a warmth in their hearts because of it.

It was like the last time she had him buy soda; in fact, she indirectly wanted Xiu Xun to accept his kindness.

Now, as she subtly began to block him from prying into Xiu Xi’s affairs, he thought to himself that she indeed was a child who knew how to protect others. His voice softened involuntarily, saying, "Don’t worry, Jiaojiao, Uncle Jiang doesn’t mean anything by it. I was just curious about his eyes, thinking he might be mixed-race."

Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, and hearing him say this, she felt that maybe she had overreacted just now.
