Chapter 1980: Jiang Xun, You Really Disgust Me (1)

This message was sent some time ago, at around 6:50 PM.

[Jiaojiao! I found out that Zhou Yun is missing too, I suspect the two of them eloped!] This was sent at 7:00 PM.

[Jiaojiao! They really eloped! The engagement party is cancelled now!] This message was sent around 7:50 PM.

Several more messages followed, all asking why she hadn’t replied and where she had gone.

Ruan Jiaojiao read through them one by one, didn’t reply via message, and directly called on the phone instead. Yu Rou quickly answered on the other end.

As soon as the call connected, she couldn’t wait to ask: "Jiaojiao, where did you go? Why are you only replying now?"

Ruan Jiaojiao explained apologetically: "I was downstairs watching TV with my grandma. Rourou, have you still not found your cousin?"

Yu Rou shook her head on the other side, then remembered Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t see her, so she replied, "No, we haven’t found him. Zhou Yun is missing with him. To be honest, I’m really impressed by Zhou Yun. She’s got some skills, managing to persuade my cousin to elope. You wouldn’t believe it, my aunt is now in the hospital. She’s really got some skills."

"If Jiang Xun wasn’t willing, no matter how skillful Zhou Yun is, she couldn’t have taken him away," Ruan Jiaojiao said.

"You’re right, but I just don’t get it. If he really liked Zhou Yun so much, why was he with Feng Nianian before? Now he’s pulling this elopement stunt after getting engaged, like this is some sort of drama series."

Ruan Jiaojiao fell silent.

She didn’t get it either.

She remembered in her previous life, Jiang Xun liked Wa Yiting, but still got engaged to Yuan Manman, who had taken over her body. After the engagement, he regretted it, feeling Wa Yiting was his true love... Actually, when you think about it, it’s quite similar to now, except poor Feng Nianian is even unluckier, being jilted on the engagement day. She’ll probably become the laughingstock of all Beidu tomorrow.

"Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao? Are you okay?" Seeing that Ruan Jiaojiao hadn’t responded for a while, Yu Rou called out from the other end.

Ruan Jiaojiao snapped back to reality: "I’m fine, just zoned out for a second."

"You’re too much, zoning out while on the phone with me. Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. My mom’s calling me home. I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye." Ruan Jiaojiao hung up the phone.

She was just about to tuck the phone back under her pillow when the ringtone sounded again.

Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at the phone number and saw it was unfamiliar. Hesitating for two seconds, she answered it.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"..." No one spoke on the other end, only the sound of heavy breathing.

Ruan Jiaojiao took the phone down for another look to confirm it was connected, didn’t hang up, and said hello a couple more times, but still got no response from that side.

Ruan Jiaojiao put the phone back to her ear and could still hear shallow breathing from the other side. Suddenly, she had a flash of intuition and tentatively asked, "Jiang Xun?"

This time, the person on the other end responded: "Jiaojiao, it’s me."

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao frowned: "Jiang Xun, what is it?"

"Jiaojiao, I’ve run away from the wedding," Jiang Xun said.

"???" Ruan Jiaojiao: "Jiang Xun, if you’re okay, I’m going to hang up. I need to sleep."

"Ruan Jiaojiao, I ran away from the wedding for you." Jiang Xun shouted on the other end: "I like you, Ruan Jiaojiao, I like you!"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao was silent for a bit, then couldn’t hold back anymore: "Jiang Xun, you really make me sick!"
