Chapter 2471: Chapter 2471

Yang Xiaona was in the hospital for three days, and on the fourth day, as the fetus stabilized, she was discharged first.

Although Ruan Ershu and Liu Qingyun were still in Beidu, Liu Qingyun was a nice person, Ruan Chi trusted the Ruanlin Family more, as they raised him since childhood. Busy with work and unfamiliar with taking care of pregnant women, he sent Yang Xiaona to the Ruan Family villa directly.

The Ruanlin Family had time and experience, and could take good care of Yang Xiaona’s health.

On the day of discharge, Ruan Jiaojiao saw Jiang Xun again, but this time she had Duan Xi and her brother with her, so she wasn’t afraid at all, feeling particularly confident, not giving him a second glance.

As she walked past him, her back was straight as a rod.

Jiang Xun watched her walk past him without looking, his hands tightening unconsciously on the thermos handle, with veins bulging on the back of his hand.

But when Duan Xi’s cold gaze swept over, Jiang Xun felt a chill in his heart and turned away immediately.

Ruan Chi supported Yang Xiaona with one hand and carried the luggage with the other. After walking out of the hospital corridor and reaching the parking area, he arranged for Yang Xiaona to sit down before taking the opportunity to put the luggage in the trunk and asked Duan Xi: "Do you have a grudge with Jiang Xun?"

Among the brothers, Ruan Chi was always the sensitive one, and the most adept at handling situations. Even though they briefly crossed paths in the corridor, he could sense some hostility among the three.

Duan Xi, hearing this, did not hide anything and explained while putting the luggage in the trunk: "He’s investigating something related to Jiaojiao’s past at twelve years old."

Twelve years old.

Ruan Chi was incredibly shrewd, understanding the implication just by hearing that number.

His expression paused, then he slightly curved his lips: "Can’t handle it? You can come to me anytime."

Duan Xi nodded.

After getting in the car, the two men didn’t discuss the subject further, and in the back seat, Ruan Jiaojiao was enthusiastically talking to Yang Xiaona about auspicious days in the coming month to register for marriage.

"Grandma had someone perform calculations, and there are eight auspicious days in May for getting the marriage certificate. Xiaona, you and Brother Chi can go on these days to register," said Ruan Jiaojiao, sitting in the back, counting on her fingers the auspicious days the Ruanlin Family had calculated last night, her enthusiasm making it seem like she was the one getting married.

Compared to her excitement, Yang Xiaona’s expression was rather indifferent. She glanced forward, meeting Ruan Chi’s gaze briefly before quickly averting her eyes.

Following her gaze, Ruan Jiaojiao noticed Ruan Chi frowning, seemingly puzzled, and cautiously asked: "Why aren’t you saying anything? Are these days not good? Should Grandma find someone again..."

"No need." Yang Xiaona shook her head immediately, looking down at her hands, subconsciously entwining them on her lap.

She lowered her eyes: "It’s due to my family’s reasons, not because of the days."

Yang Xiaona never intended to have a large wedding. Her plan was for them to obtain their marriage certificate and have a meal with both families to commemorate the occasion.

But her parents, from the Yang Family, disagreed.

Not only did they want a grand wedding, they demanded a four-piece gold set, four major appliances, all beverage costs covered by the groom’s side, and a dowry of eighteen thousand.

Basically, they wanted the wedding to be lavish, with all expenses borne by Ruan Chi.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t hand over Yang Xiaona’s household registration booklet.
