Gu Zixin, like any ordinary elder, held her hand and asked some questions. However, Ruan Jiaojiao had always been good at winning over elders. In just a few minutes, she won Gu Zixin’s favor. She held her little hand and said, "Little Jiaojiao is a Qing University student, that’s incredible. Aunt Xin has a son around your age, he’s currently doing his graduate studies at Ye University..."

"Sis, Jiaojiao only turns eighteen this October." At Gu Zixin’s demeanor, Gu Zichen knew what she was thinking and helplessly spoke up.

"Ah? How can she be in her fourth year already then..."

"Jiaojiao got into university at fifteen, Jianjian is more than six years older than her," Gu Zichen explained.

"Well...that’s okay too, older boys are more considerate..." Gu Zixin wanted to argue a bit more as she really liked Ruan Jiaojiao. She had two children, both boys, and neither had started dating yet, which worried her greatly.

But before she could finish, a figure walked in from outside against the sunlight. Standing at over 1.8 meters tall, even in simple black pants and a white shirt, he looked tall and slender. Although she believed her son was already outstanding, at this moment, she had to admit that this person could make her son seem insignificant by comparison.

Duan Xi was twenty-one this year, a true young adult.

He probably attended some important event today, as he hadn’t yet changed from his full formal attire. He wore a black suit pants, a white shirt on top, and a suit jacket draped over his arm. When he walked in, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t take her eyes off him.

Because it was the first time she saw Duan Xi in a suit.

When they got engaged, Duan Xi wasn’t wearing a suit but a tailcoat, which was stunningly handsome as well, yet the feeling now was different.

Duan Xi had a slightly cold demeanor, rarely smiling, and the green eyes only showed warmth when they landed on Ruan Jiaojiao.

As soon as he entered the room, his gaze locked onto Ruan Jiaojiao. Seeing her standing there gracefully, staring blankly at him, his heart couldn’t help but soften. The next second, he walked over to her, ignoring the elders around him. He walked directly to her side, held her little hand in his palm, and then finally spared a glance at the others.

There were too many elders in the living room now, so he didn’t greet each one. He just nodded.

In others’ eyes, a junior acting this way might seem disrespectful, but when he did it, it didn’t feel that way. It only made people feel fully respected while he maintained his cold nobility, making people dare not underestimate him.

Gu Zixin watched as he walked over and held Ruan Jiaojiao’s hand. Ruan Jiaojiao’s cheeks went crimson, her eyes filled with admiration, and exclaimed in surprise, "This gentleman is..."

"This is Jiaojiao’s fiancé, Duan Xi. They were engaged when she was fifteen," Gu Zichen explained.

Fiancé? Engaged at fifteen?!

Gu Zixin, recalling her earlier actions, couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt, even sensing that the young man’s gaze seemed somewhat less than gentle.

But she thought she might be overthinking it since she had said those things before he came in, so technically, he shouldn’t have heard them.

Even so, Gu Zixin dared not meddle anymore. She smiled somewhat regretfully, seeing the young couple clearly in love, and realized it would be inappropriate to joke around any further.
