Chapter 2342: Chapter 2342

Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t too surprised by what she heard.

Because she knew that Shen Ting indeed had this ability.

However, in order not to let Shen Ting get smug, she didn’t continue asking and instead changed the subject: "Are Uncle and Aunt not at home?"

"Yeah, they’ve all gone to visit relatives." Shen Bai said.

It wasn’t a practice abroad, but back home, it’s something you naturally have to do. It’s just that he and Shen Ting weren’t used to it, so they didn’t go.

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded. She seldom met Shen Bai. Unlike Shen Ting, Shen Bai was a true gentleman—humble and polite in speech and behavior. Ruan Jiaojiao enjoyed chatting with him, unlike with Shen Ting, where arguments could break out easily.

By the end of the conversation, Shen Ting’s face grew darker and darker until the phone rang in the room. Shen Ting had no intention of answering the call, so Shen Bai had to get up to answer it. She still felt like she hadn’t had enough.

"I didn’t realize you were so chatty before." As soon as Shen Bai left, Shen Ting sneered coldly.

Ruan Jiaojiao took a sip of the hot cocoa in front of her, squinting with enjoyment from the sweetness. Hearing Shen Ting’s words, she wasn’t bothered and just said lightly, "Of course, as long as it’s not talking to you, I’m chatty with anyone."

"You!" Shen Ting’s face turned black.

Ruan Jiaojiao put down her cup and blinked, leaning close to him: "Shen Ting, why are you reacting so strongly? Do you have feelings for me? Is that why you always oppose me to get my attention?"

Looking at the small face so close to him, Shen Ting finally squeezed out a sentence after a long time: "Get a grip."

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

It’s confirmed, he’s definitely destined to be single for life!

She pursed her lips, curled back into the cozy chair, and continued sipping her hot cocoa with a satisfied expression.

Shen Ting sat on the side, but he was lost in thought as he watched her.

Ruan Jiaojiao sensed it, but she knew his daze was definitely not out of fondness for her; rather, he was thinking of something else.

Shen Ting, in fact, is a very arrogant person.

In a past life, he was able to be obsessed with Wa Yiting for a lifetime over something trivial, not out of deep love but due to obsession and arrogance. When this arrogance was shattered, he destroyed the whole world.

In this life, the obsession is gone, but the arrogance remains.

He targets her everywhere, not for anything else but because he fundamentally believes she has hindered Duan Xi. In his eyes, perhaps she was never worthy of Duan Xi from start to finish.

And as if to confirm her thought, Shen Ting suddenly looked at her with a complicated expression, with a hint of reproach in his eyes, and said, "Do you know that Duan Xi received..." Before he could finish, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard, and Duan Xi’s voice came through: "What are you guys talking about?"

"Brother Xi, he said I have no shame!" Ruan Jiaojiao immediately stood up and complained without any psychological pressure, knowing full well there was more to his words.

Because she also knew that with Duan Xi’s hearing, it was impossible that he didn’t hear their conversation just now. He deliberately asked what they were talking about, clearly not wanting her to know.

Ruan Jiaojiao is a bit lazy; some things, if Duan Xi doesn’t want her to know, she just pretends not to know because she trusts Duan Xi.

Duan Xi had already walked over and pulled her into his arms, interlocking their fingers: "Your brother just called; he’ll be home in five minutes."
