For Xiaobai, scaring people seemed like childâs play.
"Just do as youâre told." Duan Xiâs voice turned cold. As he turned to leave, he glanced back at Xiaohuang, who hadnât moved, and said nonchalantly, "Itâs not bad."
"???" Xiaobai?
Duan Xi had already entered the house. Xiaobai wandered to where Xiaohuang was still standing, curious about what "the Demon" found impressive about Xiaohuang. It nudged Xiaohuangâs body with the tip of its tail.
"Thud!"
A big lump of flesh fell to the ground, almost making a dent in the floor!
This time, Xiaobai moved swiftly, dragging the still-paralyzed Xiaohuang into the bushes, without attracting any attention.
As Duan Xi entered the hall, Jiaojiao immediately pulled him into a corner, anxiously asking, "Brother Xi, is it Xiaobai and them? Shouldnât they be hibernating?"
Duan Xi nodded.
Beidu now wasnât like Beidu in a decade or so, where development was everywhere. There were still plenty of large forests, so Xiaobai and Xiaohuang had gone deep into the woods to hibernate back in November.
Though the engagement banquet was important, it was impossible to invite the two Changchong, so no one notified them. Jiaojiao was puzzled about how they got the news and made their way over.
"Are they okay?"
"Theyâre fine," Duan Xi replied, squeezing her little hand, "Iâll take you to your brother and the others. I need to handle some things first, so donât wander off on your own while Iâm away."
Jiaojiao felt it was a bit excessive, but still nodded obediently.
After sending Jiaojiao back to the Ruan Family, Duan Xi summoned a waiter. He spoke a few words to them, and they took the tray to Duan Sishu.
"Miss Duan, Mr. Duan heard you were tired and prepared a room on the second floor for you to rest."
"What did you say, Mr. Duan? You mean Duan Qianyang?" Duan Sishu was massaging her forehead and asked upon hearing this.
"Yes." The waiter nodded, gesturing invitingly.
When Duan Sishu saw this, her heart warmed. Especially when she noticed the envious gazes of the people around her, she felt extremely pleased. She wasnât actually tired, but under those envious glances, she stood up and asked Feng Nianian beside her, "Nianian, do you want to join mom and rest a bit?"
Feng Nianian glanced at Jiang Xun a few meters away and shook her head. She then turned back with a sweet smile, "Mom, I still have something to do, you go rest if youâre tired."
"Alright, then mom will go first. If you get tired, have a waiter bring you over, or let your uncle arrange another room for you. After all, your uncle dotes on you." Duan Sishu said, deliberately raising her voice for the last sentence.
Feng Nianian nodded.
Seeing envious glances directed her way once more, Duan Sishu followed the waiter with satisfaction.
The waiter led Duan Sishu to a room on the second floor with a balcony. The Ruan Familyâs hotel had long been integrated with dining and accommodation, so the rooms on the second floor were well-equipped, featuring a large bed, a dressing table, a TV, and a neat tea table set on the balcony outside.
Duan Sishu wasnât tired, but she enjoyed it all. After the waiter left, she closed the door and lay down on the bed, facing the balcony.
