Chapter 947: Chapter 947 He Said He Wouldn’t Leave (7)

Where on earth did this Duan Family pop up from?

“Jiaojiao?” Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao not saying anything for a while, Shu Jiao called out with concern.

Regaining her senses, Ruan Jiaojiao looked up at her and said after thinking for a moment, “Mom, don’t go. Brother Xu will be back. Don’t worry; he’s even more incredible than you think.”

He is a silly wolf. That Duan Family can’t keep him. Plus, he’s said that they would never part. If they ever did, all she has to do is wait for him to come find her.

She believes him.

Zhao Li, standing nearby, was utterly confused, but Shu Jiao understood.

It seems that Xu Xi really is that wolf who has been with her daughter for more than a decade.

Perhaps the Duan Family really can’t keep him. If she went now, she might miss him, and since Ruan Jiaojiao truly needed someone by her side at all times, Shu Jiao nodded and decided to stay put for now.

Even though Ruan Jiaojiao sounded confident, she was actually still somewhat anxious inside. Or it could be said that without Xu Xi by her side, she couldn’t feel truly at ease.

In the evening, Ruan Wei and Ruan Qun, who were in elementary school, learned about Ruan Jiaojiao’s situation from Yuan Xiaodong and rushed to the hospital to see her.

However, since it gets dark early in the winter and the roads were bad, the Ruanlin Family didn’t let them stay long. They used their saved-up pocket money to fill a small drawer with snacks for Ruan Jiaojiao before they left reluctantly.

Yuan Xiaodong planned to return home with Doctor Yuan that night. Having finished his homework and feeling bored, he came to play with Ruan Jiaojiao. By evening, Ruan Lei and others came to visit Ruan Jiaojiao again. Xu Xi was still nowhere to be seen, which made Xiaodong unable to help asking: “Sister Ruan, why hasn’t Brother Xu come?”

He remembered that Xu Xi and Ruan Jiaojiao had always been inseparable, even closer than conjoined twins.

Yet he wasn’t here with her this time, which he found strange.

Ruan Jiaojiao was eating the food fed to her by the Ruanlin Family and responded with an indifferent look: “Brother Xu went to compete in Beidu. He will be back soon.”

“How soon is ‘soon’?” Yuan Xiaodong.

“…” Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, suddenly losing her appetite.

Ruan Lei, Lu Zishu, and Ruan Feng, standing by, all knew that Xu Xi wouldn’t be back for the time being, although they didn’t know the specific reason. Now seeing Ruan Jiaojiao’s mood suddenly drop, they instantly glared at Xiaodong.

Xiaodong was shocked, realizing he had asked something he shouldn’t have, and before he could back down, he felt a mysterious force dragging him out by his cotton trousers.

“Meatball, Meatball…” The hundred-plus-pound Meatball was much stronger than him. As it pulled on his trouser leg to drag him out, he was powerless to resist and had to let Meatball pull him to the door.

After dragging him to the outside, Meatball lifted its hind leg and slammed the ward door shut with a smack.

What an unlucky kid, really doesn’t know any better!

After completing this series of actions, Meatball shook its plump body and continued to head back to the corner to eat its meal, having been guarding Ruan Jiaojiao for the past two days, barely leaving her side at all.

Thanks to its plump body, it didn’t have the slightest bit of wolf-like dignity, and no one in the hospital was afraid of it. Instead, they treated it like a dog, petting it and frequently spoiling it with treats from the nurses and doctors.

Watching this scene, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but laugh, showing the first genuine smile in days.
