Chapter 2386: Chapter 2386

Hmm... carrying the contract Duan Xi convinced her to sign, sitting in Duan Xi’s car, arriving at Duan Xi’s company, and halfway being dragged by Duan Xi into a small room on the second floor to fool around when it wasn’t yet work time.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s job is Duan Xi’s personal secretary and part-time company receptionist, but as a receptionist, none of the other employees dare to order her around, so Ruan Jiaojiao basically becomes Duan Xi’s accessory, accompanying him wherever he goes.

After working like this for about three days, Ruan Jiaojiao received a call from Xin Miao.

Ruan Jiaojiao was attending a company meeting at that time. She couldn’t quite understand the proceedings, so she sat at the side, bored, resting her chin and daydreaming. Knowing there was a meeting, she had set her phone to vibrate in advance.

As soon as the call came in, the vibration almost made her jump out of her seat. She quickly dug out her phone, looked at the caller ID, and her eyes flickered.

No one except Duan Xi at the meeting table noticed her, so Ruan Jiaojiao pointed toward the outside and quickly stepped out to answer the call.

Once the call connected, Xin Miao didn’t speak immediately. Ruan Jiaojiao instinctively frowned, "Miaomiao?"

Only then did Xin Miao speak, "Jiaojiao, I want to see you. Is that okay?"

Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and looked at the closed conference room door, guessing the reason for Xin Miao’s call. She paused for about two seconds, looked down at her wristwatch, and asked, "Right now?"

"Yes."

"Alright." Ruan Jiaojiao agreed and arranged a meeting place before hanging up.

After hanging up, she couldn’t wait for Duan Xi to come out. She sent him a message saying she needed to go out and included the address, then left the company and hailed a taxi downstairs to meet.

By the time Ruan Jiaojiao arrived at the location, Xin Miao was already waiting in the café. She was drinking coffee, and opposite her was a steaming hot chocolate and matcha cake.

Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao approach, she smiled and said, "I know you don’t like coffee, so I ordered hot cocoa for you."

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the hot cocoa and cake in front of her, feeling somewhat complex.

It had been a week since she found out about Xin Miao being with Lu Zishu. At first, she felt really uncomfortable, even thinking about questioning Xin Miao why she suddenly accepted Lu Zishu—was she genuinely moved or just doing it out of spite?

But she knew she had no standing, even though she felt uncomfortable and worried for Lu Zishu, she couldn’t do such a thing, so she could only forcibly ignore the matter, not intentionally seeking information.

She didn’t expect that after she had truly forgotten, Xin Miao would take the initiative to find her.

Their relationship might not be as close as with Yu Rou, but they were indeed friends.

Ruan Jiaojiao sat down, looked at the steaming cocoa in front of her, and said, "Thank you." She took a sip, finding the temperature just right and the sweetness perfect—exactly her favorite taste.

"As long as you like it." Xin Miao smiled, her gaze shifting from Ruan Jiaojiao to the outside window, stirring her cup of black coffee with one hand. She spoke with a somewhat wistful tone, "Spring is here, time flies by so fast. It’s hard to believe we’ve known each other for five or six years now."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiaojiao followed her gaze.
