Chapter 2370: Chapter 2370

She was silent for a while, then finally nodded at Ruan Jiaojiao.

Ruan Jiaojiao just smiled, and at that moment two honks sounded from behind—Yang Hong and Gao Ji drove their cars over.

Gao Ji had previously shown interest in Ruan Jiaojiao, but after Duan Xi barehanded took down nine burly guys, he no longer dared show that interest at all. When they came to the police station to file the report, his expression had been awkward the whole time, and he never again brought up that so‑called "police buddy" he’d mentioned before.

Seeing the cars pull up, Wen Shu glanced back, then turned to look at Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi. She smiled, said goodbye, and walked to Gao Ji’s car—but instead of getting into the front passenger seat, she got into the back.

Although Ruan Jiaojiao had always been curious about her relationship with Gao Ji, she’d never bluntly asked. Still, she couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable. Now, seeing Wen Shu get into the back seat, the smile on her face finally became a little more genuine as she waved goodbye to her.

Once their car drove off, the four people on this side got into theirs.

Duan Xi sat in the front passenger seat, the three girls sat in the back, all looking down at their phones.

On the way, Yang Hong kept sneaking glances at Duan Xi, his eyes shifting very quickly from shock to full‑on worship.

Compared to Yang Tao, he’d been much more well‑behaved growing up. Forget about brawling—he rarely even got into arguments with people. So when Duan Xi started fighting just now, he was genuinely a little scared, but he still forced himself to go up. Who knew Duan Xi wouldn’t give him a single chance to show off—he took care of all of them in no time flat. It was ridiculously cool.

His gaze was way too intense. Feeling it, Duan Xi held back at first, but finally couldn’t stand it anymore and shot him a cold look. "Eyes on the road."

His tone was so fierce it felt like if Yang Hong looked one more time, his eyeballs were going to get gouged out.

"Brother Xi, you’re too badass." Yang Hong, hearing that, wasn’t scared at all—he actually sounded excited.

"Kid, your Brother Xi has always been this badass. Don’t worship him too much." Yang Tao looked at Yang Hong from the back and warned, "Your top priority right now is driving and getting us there safely. Otherwise, you know what’ll happen..." She twisted her fist meaningfully.

Seeing the threat in Yang Tao’s eyes, Yang Hong finally dialed his worship back a notch. But for the rest of the trip, he basically turned into Duan Xi’s little fanboy—this level of worship even made his secret crush on Ruan Jiaojiao completely vanish into thin air!

Before the car reached the villa, Ruan Jiaojiao received a call from Ruan Hao. Apparently, as soon as they split up at the police station, Wen Shu had called him.

Listening to Ruan Hao’s gentle concern over the phone, Ruan Jiaojiao obediently replied, "Big Brother, we’re all fine. Those pickpockets didn’t hurt us. Right, we didn’t lose anything else either, everything’s good. We’re heading to the villa now, and we’ll come back after the party tonight."

She paused, thinking of that Gao Ji, and in the end couldn’t help herself and added, "Big Brother, you and Sister Wen Shu haven’t broken up, right?"

On the other end, Ruan Hao answered, "No. What’s wrong?"

Ruan Jiaojiao pressed her lips together, not sure if she should bring up Gao Ji.

Over there, Ruan Hao seemed to know exactly what she was struggling with. "What’s wrong, scared your sister‑in‑law’s going to run off?"

He let out a low laugh, that deep chuckle carrying through the phone line, making her ears tingle just listening to it.
