Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Opportunity (1)_1 Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Opportunity (1)_1 âI can buy her some in the future!â
Ruan Jiaojiao fed Xiu Xi and peeled another one for the Ruanlin Family matron. Ruan Jianguo was still chatting with Lu Zhiwei, so she didnât bother him and fed herself one too.
âItâs really tasty, thank you, Brother Lu.â Ruan Jiaojiao sweetly thanked Lu Xian, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
Lu Xian, a bit embarrassed, touched the back of his head and said, âIf itâs tasty, next time Iâll have your brother bring you some more. We have plenty at my house!â
Watching the soft and tender little girl, Lu Xian couldnât help but think she was not only beautiful, but her voice sounded as if it was coated with sugar, incredibly sweet.
He understood even more why Ruan Jie liked to talk about his sister so much. Every time after school, heâd buy some snacks to take back home because with Ruan Jiaojiao looking at him, cooing âbrotherâ in her sweet voice, his heart would melt. He wished he could give her all the candy he had.
Unlike his sisters at home who were like tigresses, theyâd swoop in on sweets the moment they saw them. Once they grabbed them, the treats were theirs and they would never call out sweetly to someone or even say thank you.
Of course, it would be better if there wasnât this vigilant, intimidating little boy by her side.
Whether by intuition or whatever, Lu Xian subconsciously didnât like this little boy, and he could feel that the boy didnât like him either!
Ruan Jianguo and Lu Zhiwei got along very well; the two stood at the gate chatting for over ten minutes. When Ruan came to his senses, Lu Zhiwei invited, âSince weâve met by chance, and itâs still early, why donât we find a place to eat? We can have a good chat.â
Lu Zhiwei rarely found someone he clicked with so well. Their conversation seemed endless, and he truly didnât want to part ways just yet.
Ruan Jianguo felt the same, but he wasnât alone; he turned and looked at the Ruanlin Family matron.
The Ruanlin Family matron looked up at the sky. Although she thought about going back via Du Qingâs and by the time they got home it would probably be dark, she had seen a bit of the world and knew that people like Lu Zhiwei were not easy to come by. Not wanting to cut off her sonâs social networking, she nodded her head.
The three of them agreed and then chose a restaurant that seemed clean and tidy.
Restaurants in the city were different from those in the towns, with waiters on hand to assist them in ordering. When Lu Zhiwei picked up the menu, instead of choosing for himself, he handed it to the Ruanlin Family matron, âAuntie, take a look and order whatever youâd like. Feel free to choose, my treat!â
âHow could we do that? There are many of us, we should do it,â Ruan Jianguo insisted.
âI didnât ask you, and donât be polite with me. Youâll have plenty of chances to treat me in the future,â Lu Zhiwei retorted with an annoyed glance, then smiled at Ruan Jiaojiao, âWhat would you like to eat, Jiaojiao? Their braised chicken legs here are good; want to try one?â
âYes, please, thank you, Uncle Lu.â Ruan Jiaojiao sweetly thanked him.
âHahaha, what a generous child, I like that, hahahaâŠâ Lu Zhiwei burst out laughing, his gaze upon Ruan Jiaojiao full of approval. He didnât like those who were timid and overly polite. He preferred straightforwardness like this.
Not wanting to seem pretentious by refusing further, the Ruanlin Family matron said nothing, chose a dish, and handed the menu back to Lu Zhiwei.
Lu Zhiwei then turned to the silent Xiu Xi, asking what he would like to eat. Knowing the boy was quiet, the Ruanlin Family matron answered for him, âHeâs the same as Jiaojiao; he likes meat. Donât mind him; you order what you like.â
