Chapter 2352: Chapter 2352

As soon as Duan Sishu said that, Duan Qianyang, who had only been frowning before, now visibly darkened in a matter of seconds.

Seeing that, Feng Nianian cursed Duan Sishu for being brainless in her heart, but raised a smile on her face, walked forward two steps, took Jiang Xun’s arm, and said to the people in the room, "Uncle, Uncle, happy New Year. We’re here to pay a New Year visit. We just didn’t know you had guests today. We should’ve called first."

Feng Nianian spoke very considerately, greeting them with a smile.

No matter how much Duan Qianyang disliked Duan Sishu, she was still his biological younger sister; he couldn’t completely cut her off. And with it being New Year’s, he couldn’t very well throw them out, so he could only reply politely, "We’re all family, it’s fine. Come in."

"Uncle, Uncle, this is a little something from us." Duan Sishu motioned for Jiang Xun to put the gift box on the table.

"Mm, that’s thoughtful. Have a seat." said Duan Qirui.

But as soon as he said that, the atmosphere started to turn a bit awkward.

The Duan Family’s sofa was a sectional. Earlier, because she wanted to talk to Duan Qianyang, Ruan Jiaojiao had deliberately sat on the longer section where he was; Duan Qirui had a seat to himself, while Duan Xi and Duan Xin sat on the other side.

That section of the sofa fit five people just right, and they’d been seated quite evenly. But add three more people and there really wasn’t room anymore—especially when Feng Nianian was pregnant.

Her belly was over five months along now. Last time at the mall, with the heating on, she’d worn loose clothes so it didn’t show as much. This time, for warmth, she had on a thick down jacket, and it wasn’t a maternity style, making her belly stick out even more.

Looking like that, she definitely needed a whole sofa to herself.

And obviously, after saying that, Duan Qianyang also realized the sofa couldn’t fit everyone.

Seeing them come in now, Ruan Jiaojiao stood up and walked over to Duan Xi’s side. Duan Xin got to his feet, and Ruan Jiaojiao sat down next to Duan Xi.

As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao gave up her spot,

compared to Jiang Xun and Duan Sishu, Feng Nianian was much steadier. It was as if she didn’t notice the looks on anyone’s faces; she kept smiling as she spoke.

Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t expected to run into them here either. When she saw them come in, the smile on her face faded a little.

The last time at the mall they’d parted on bad terms, and she’d pulled back the phone she’d placed in front of Duan Qianyang.
