Chapter 2388: Chapter 2388

Upon reaching this point, Jiaojiao smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes: "But Miaomiao, you know I have my ways, right?"

Seeing Jiaojiao with this half-smiling expression, this was the first time Xin Miao realized that Jiaojiao was not the little girl she remembered.

She had always thought that Jiaojiao was kind to the point of being naïve.

Her current happiness was all because of the excessive pampering from those around her, pampering her to be ignorant of the world, pampering her to be almost simple-minded.

She had always felt this way, and it was because of these feelings that she sometimes became jealous.

After all, such unconditional favoritism and love—what girl wouldn’t want it?

But at this moment, seeing her seemingly smiling face, with no trace of a smile in her eyes, and even a hint of warning in her words, Xin Miao realized she was wrong.

Jiaojiao was never a kind little lamb.

She was a cat with sharp claws!

"Miaomiao, I know why you called me out today. Whatever happens between you and Zishu is your business. I won’t interfere or concern myself; you’re both adults and should be responsible for your own decisions. But I have only one thing to say: you cannot hurt my uncle and aunt. Otherwise, we might not even be friends," Jiaojiao said, seeing Xin Miao’s stupefied look and not caring if her image was shattered.

"My uncle and aunt now only have Zishu as a son. They can’t bear any possibility of losing him, so you’d better think carefully about the decision you’re about to make."

"Of course, I’m saying this without any intention of threatening you. It’s up to you to decide," Jiaojiao said.

"..." Xin Miao.

After a long silence, she finally nodded and said, "I understand."

Jiaojiao glanced up at her without asking what decision she’d made, lifted her cup to sip hot cocoa, but found it had cooled and tasted overly sweet, causing her to wrinkle her nose. She didn’t continue drinking and set it aside, opting instead to eat the cake with a spoon.

Xin Miao looked at her, pondering for a while, and asked, "Jiaojiao, are we still friends?"

"Of course," Jiaojiao nodded, smiling as she pushed the cake in front of her towards the middle: "Miaomiao, this one’s quite good. Give it a try. When your mouth is sweet, your heart will follow."

Xin Miao rarely eats cake, but under Jiaojiao’s invitation, she took a spoonful from the other side of the cake and put it in her mouth, discovering for the first time that the cake she rarely eats was indeed tasty, not only fragrant and sweet but also infused with the scent of matcha.

"Tasty, huh?" Jiaojiao asked: "It goes well with your black coffee, offering a unique flavor."

Xin Miao took a sip of her black coffee and nodded: "Indeed."

Jiaojiao laughed, inviting her to share the small cake. After finishing, they sat in the cake shop for a while longer, separating before lunchtime.

Indeed indeed indeed indeed,.
