Chapter 2459: Chapter 2459

She turned her head and dashed toward the door, shouting urgently, "Quick, quick, block the door!"

As soon as she shouted, the bridesmaids who had just been dazzled by the men snapped back to reality. They all hurried over, squeezing into the doorway, with Jiaojiao at the front, pressing herself against the door and straining her ears to hear the sounds outside.

Sure enough, within seconds, footsteps and men’s voices could be heard outside, until they finally stopped at Xia Qia’s room door.

Ruan Jie, as always, had the loudest voice. He stopped and shouted, "Honey! I’m here to pick you up, open the door!"

The door remained still, showing no signs of opening.

Ruan Jie paused, thought for a moment, then raised his hand and gently patted the door, "Honey, I’m here to pick you up, open the door."

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, open the door, let’s not miss the auspicious time." This was Ruan Lei’s voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the brothers beside him chimed in agreement.

But the door still didn’t open.

Ruan Jie’s voice was a bit hesitant, as he reached out and knocked on the door again, "Honey?"

This time there was movement inside, but it was Jiaojiao’s voice, crisp and pleasant, "Second brother, calling her ’honey’ is too soon, we haven’t brought her back yet! If you want to bring her back, you better show us your skills!"

Upon hearing this, everyone outside was stunned, exchanging glances with each other.

Especially the brothers of the Ruan Family, they all covered their faces in mild frustration, a mix of laughter and helplessness, realizing their precious little sister didn’t seem to know which side she was on today.

"Second brother? Boss, is that Jiaojiao?" one of Ruan Jie’s comrades asked.

They had only caught a glimpse on the balcony earlier and didn’t see clearly, but after hearing about his sister from comrades who had joined Ruan Jie for military training four years ago, everyone knew Ruan Jie had a sister, who was gentle and endearing, totally different from him.

Now hearing this voice, combined with the glimpse from earlier, they vaguely guessed the one calling ’second brother’ inside must be the Boss’s sister.

But—

"Boss, is our sister on her sister-in-law’s side?" someone asked, sounding curious yet full of schadenfreude.

Having just been given a slight by his own sister, Ruan Jie was brooding. He heard the question and turned his head to deliver a playful kick, laughing and swearing, "Get lost, who said she was your sister, she’s my sister!"

The man nimbly dodged Ruan Jie’s foot, laughing and agreeing, "Alright, alright, your sister, your sister. It’s your big day, Boss, don’t be so grumpy, or sister-in-law might see your true colors and abandon you!"

"Get!" Ruan Jie retorted with a single word.

He turned back to sweet-talk Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, I’m your brother who has loved you the most since childhood, open the door! Let’s go pick up sister-in-law together, aren’t you the one who likes this sister-in-law the most? It’ll be great for us to pick her up together."

His tone was coaxing, like speaking to a little child.

But the moment he finished, it instantly stirred things up like a hornet’s nest, the other brothers beside him were not having it.

"Third brother, we need to clarify this, how come you’re the one who has loved Jiaojiao the most since childhood?" Ruan Lei was unconvinced, considering himself the one who grew up with Jiaojiao, spending the most time together, naturally thinking he was the brother who loved her the most.
