Chapter 2246: Chapter 2246

In the vast office, it finally quieted down, leaving only Jiaojiao and Duan Xi.

Jiaojiao watched Duan Xi, who seemed somewhat different as he approached her, and tried to remain calm. Raising her head, she asked, as if she felt nothing, "Brother Xi, what should we eat?"

Going home was definitely not an option, neither was returning to the hotel, and since neither of them could cook, they had to eat out.

"Let’s eat what you like," Duan Xi answered. After saying this, his green eyes darkened and he added, "Eat until you’re full."

"!!!" Jiaojiao.

Her little heart was beating wildly.

She couldn’t even smile; her face flushed as she glared at Duan Xi.

Instead, Duan Xi laughed heartily, bent down, and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Don’t worry, there won’t be any interruptions this time."

"..." Jiaojiao. She was even more scared now.

Being led out of the office by Duan Xi, he took her to a century-old clay pot soup restaurant in Beidu. While eating, Jiaojiao received a call from Ruan Jianguo, "Sweetheart, why aren’t you back yet? Dinner is almost ready."

"Dad, I’m with Brother Xi, eating out, not coming back for dinner. You all eat without me," Jiaojiao then remembered she had again failed to report home.

"Is that so." Ruan Jianguo didn’t mind. That was not the main purpose of his call. He lowered his voice and gossiped, "I heard from the hotel staff that a woman was seated in your big brother’s car at noon?"

Ruan Hao turned twenty-eight this year, but all these years, aside from Jiaojiao, there has never been any woman around him.

Many young employees at the hotel used to have ideas about him, but of course, it never worked out. Gradually, everyone knew that the hotel manager was almost indifferent to women, only showering love on his sister. If a girl was ever seen in the passenger seat, it would definitely be Jiaojiao.

Ruan Hao had officially taken over the hotel for about five to six years, and this situation had persisted for those years.

But today, a girl other than Jiaojiao was seated in his passenger seat! The hotel’s security guards, greeters, and staff all saw it, and it spread within the hotel like a bomb.

Ruan Jianguo naturally got the first-hand scoop quickly.

Only Ruan Hao didn’t come back at night, and there was no one to ask about it, so he came to subtly ask Jiaojiao.

Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao couldn’t help but excitedly share, "Yeah, that’s Sister Wen Shu. They’ve already confirmed their relationship, and Dad, do you know who Sister Wen Shu is? You’d never guess it’s the captain from the plane crash my brother was in. She also came to my birthday last time, and she gave me a very expensive watch. My brother agreed I could accept it..."

Jiaojiao went on and on, her excitement leading her to wave the wrist with the replaced watch.

Duan Xi frowned.

He had noticed the watch on her wrist but thought it was one of the many from Shu Wen or Gu Zichen’s birthday gifts last time, so he paid no mind.

He didn’t expect it to be given by another woman, and that she’d be so happy about it.
