The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

Chapter 2300: Chapter 2230

She turned around and affectionately hugged Gu Zichen’s arm, coquettishly saying, "Auntie, Jiaojiao missed you so much."

"Really?" Gu Zichen playfully glared at her.

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded her little head busily: "Yes, yes, I missed you so much that I asked mom to bring me here to stay for a few days!"

Looking at how Ruan Jiaojiao spouted sweet words effortlessly, Shu Jiao glanced at her amusedly, while Gu Zichen was all smiles, pinching her little face: "Alright, this time stay for more days, and Auntie will personally cook for you. Look at this little face, haven’t you lost weight?"

Then, she seriously started scrutinizing her and frowned: "Your complexion doesn’t look good either; is studying wearing you out? Jiaojiao, there’s no rush with studying. Our family doesn’t need to be so stressed, don’t wear yourself out. Just treat it as an interest, alright?"

Ruan Jiaojiao touched her face, guilt-ridden, glancing at Shu Jiao, wondering in her heart if her complexion was truly bad. Could it be that she’s been overindulging?

Thinking of this, Ruan Jiaojiao felt even more guilty.

Gu Zichen continued, "But it’s fine, Auntie has a nourishing recipe. This time I’ll cook for you, and make sure you are as fair and chubby as when you were a child."

Recalling Ruan Jiaojiao’s fair and chubby appearance as a child, Gu Zichen sighed with emotion.

Shu Jiao had other things to attend to in the afternoon, so she didn’t linger at the Shu Family for long. After dropping off Ruan Jiaojiao, she drove away first. Ruan Jiaojiao watched her car leave and felt quite conflicted, trying to embrace Little Potato but failing due to his chubbiness.

Perhaps she’s the first person in history to be forcibly separated from her partner due to that reason?

Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but sigh. Could it be that she won’t see Duan Xi these few days? What to do, it’s been less than two hours since they parted, and she’s already missing him.

Little Potato, unaware of his cousin’s troubled thoughts, wobbled his chubby body like a fat worm, squinted his big eyes, and clung tightly to Ruan Jiaojiao’s leg like super glue, unable to be removed.

"Jiaojiao, Uncle Liang and Auntie Liang have returned to their hometown. Your grandpa and uncle might need some more time before they come back. Perfect timing for Auntie to cook dinner tonight. What do you want to eat? We’ll go buy the ingredients now. Auntie saw some clothes in a mall a couple of days ago that would suit you. Let’s go have a look." Unable to pull her son away, Gu Zichen could only let go helplessly.

Driven by vanity, some people like to exaggerate when speaking, like buying two pieces of clothing and claiming to have bought several. But Gu Zichen was entirely different. When she spoke of a few pieces, it definitely meant more than ten. Ruan Jiaojiao has known her for many years, so she was prepared. They were definitely going to buy about a dozen pieces of clothing.

However, she didn’t anticipate that she had underestimated what "a few pieces" meant. It wasn’t just a few; it was "dozens"!

Though they said they were going to buy groceries, the three of them actually spent the whole afternoon shopping at the mall. Ruan Jiaojiao tried on clothes until her arms were sore. Eventually, she grew too lazy to try on more, and Gu Zichen directly waved her hand, ordered all to be packed, and wrote down the Ruan Family’s address to have them delivered.

However, whether it’s fate or bad luck, whenever Ruan Jiaojiao goes shopping, she always runs into people she doesn’t want to see.
