Jiaojiao’s current mobile phone doesn’t have a camera function. She could only use it to send messages to Ruan Jie and Ruan Hao to tell them the good news. Suddenly hearing Duan Xi say this to her made her hand shake, and the phone slipped from her hand.

Duan Xi caught it effortlessly and handed it back to her, saying, "No need to get excited."

Who’s... who’s excited!

Jiaojiao’s face turned bright red. Just as she was about to speak, a few of the guys nearby gave her displeased looks.

"Have some shame." Ruan Lei.

"Jiaojiao is still young, she can’t register for marriage so soon." Ruan Qun.

"Exactly, at least wait until thirty!" Ruan Wei shouted.

"Thirty! I’ll slap you to death!" Ruanlin Family, who had just finished using a feather duster on Ruan Jianguo, happened to hear Ruan Wei’s words as she returned, and she gave him two hits with it.

Ruan Feng watched as Ruan Wei hopped around like a toad after being hit by Ruanlin Family. He silently swallowed back the agreement he was about to voice, burying his head like an invisible man.

Lu Zishu was chomping on fried chicken legs. Although he knew Ruanlin Family wouldn’t hit him like that, he was inexplicably relieved that his mouth was too full to talk.

And Ruan Jianguo, hearing Ruan Wei’s words, thought they made a lot of sense, but he didn’t dare to openly oppose Ruanlin Family. Having just been hit, he dared to pull Jiaojiao aside and softly say, "My dear, I think Xiaowei is right. Let’s not rush. Dad has plenty of money and can support you forever! Don’t believe this boy’s nonsense, okay, let’s not rush to register, understand?"

After saying this, he also gave Duan Xi a warning glare, all the while a bell ringing in his heart, constantly reminding himself to keep a close watch on this brat for the next three years.

Jiaojiao blushed. Although she and Duan Xi had long been mutual in their affections, talking about such matters openly was a bit embarrassing. She pretended to be impatient as she huffed, "Why bring this up all of a sudden? I’m not talking to you guys."

After saying this, she handed the little red marriage book back to Ruan Jianguo, pretending to seriously search through a few bags for her favorite snacks. But under Duan Xi’s fervent gaze, her face turned even redder...

——

By evening.

The Ruan family finished dinner before seven o’clock. Jiaojiao initially wanted to take Rou Rou and Xiaoxue out for a stroll like before, but when she tied the leash on Rou Rou, it refused to move and persistently approached the TV.

Jiaojiao was a bit baffled. Later, she saw it using its big paw to turn on the TV and sitting upright in front of it with a serious look, and then she remembered that the garden opening ceremony recorded this morning was to be broadcast in the news tonight.

Jiaojiao thought about how many cameras had been pointed at her today and couldn’t help but feel a wave of anticipation and nervousness, wondering if those shots made it into the final edit.

With this in mind, Jiaojiao quickly sat on the sofa. Duan Xi came out of the kitchen with a plate of sliced fruit, sat next to her, and handed a piece to her with a small fork.

Jiaojiao tilted her head back to eat it and heard the familiar tune indicating the news was about to start. Just as she was about to call the Ruan family to hurry over and watch, Rou Rou already began howling, with each cry more enthusiastic than the last.

Just at this moment, Ruan Jianguo also came out of the kitchen with a plate of sliced fruit, following closely behind Shu Jiao.
