Chapter 2241
Jiaojiao’s face was flushed, and even after getting into the car, the heat on her face didn’t dissipate.
She sat in the back seat, covering her face, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
Ruan Hao started the car and asked, "What shall we have for lunch, hot pot?"
Wen Shu smiled brightly, "It’s up to Jiaojiao."
After saying that, both of their gazes shifted to the rearview mirror. Jiaojiao’s face was still red, and she nodded without any particular opinion.
As the car drove on the road, Jiaojiao’s face gradually cooled down. She glanced at Wen Shu, her eyes full of curiosity and gossip.
Wen Shu, who was talking to Ruan Hao in the front, noticed this, turned back with a smile, and asked, "Jiaojiao, do you remember your sister?"
Jiaojiao nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Sister came for my birthday last time."
"Last time was too rushed, and I didn’t have a chance to give you a birthday gift. This time I made up for it. See if you like it?" Wen Shu said, taking out a beautifully packaged gift box from a bag beside her.
Jiaojiao blinked, looked at the gift box, and then at Ruan Hao. She recognized this box; it was for a very high-end women’s watch that cost over six figures. Although the Ruan Family had money, Jiaojiao never bought luxury items for herself. If it’s not from Shu Wen, it’s from Gu Zichen.
The former is her dear aunt, and the latter is her aunt-in-law, both have doted on her since she was little. They’re all family, so it’s normal for her to accept them.
But with Wen Shu gifting such an expensive present, she felt unsure and glanced at Ruan Hao. Ruan Hao looked at her gently and said, "Since it’s from Sister Wen, you should take it."
Only then did Jiaojiao reach out to accept it, grinning as she thanked, "Thank you, Sister Wen."
"Open it and see if you like it. If not, you can exchange it." Wen Shu reminded from the front.
Jiaojiao nodded and carefully opened the gift box, immediately bedazzled by the watch inside. It was a classic, branded piece adorned with a lot of tiny diamonds. As someone who loves beauty, no girl would dislike such a beautiful watch.
"Sister Wen, I really like it, it’s so gorgeous." exclaimed Jiaojiao happily as she took off the watch she’d worn for years and put on Wen Shu’s gift, admiring it over and over again in the car window.
"That’s good," said Wen Shu.
Jiaojiao rarely had short-haired female friends. Except for once when she fell off a building and had to cut her hair short because of a bump on her head, she never cut it short again. She cherished her hair, always believing that long hair was what made a woman feminine.
But now, seeing Wen Shu, she realized it wasn’t true.
Wen Shu had beautiful features—bright eyes and white teeth. Her short hair didn’t make her look boyish; instead, it gave her a femininity and a unique charm that other girls didn’t have.
Especially when paired with her trench coat and tall figure, she was truly sassy and beautiful!
Jiaojiao just felt like she had seen her somewhere before.
When getting out of the car, Jiaojiao was still pondering this.
After parking, Ruan Hao got out first and gentlemanly opened the passenger door. When Wen Shu got out, he saw Jiaojiao climbing out from the back seat by herself and reached out to tousle her hair. Then, naturally, he took her little hand in his and guided her along.
Jiaojiao wasn’t actually short; she was 168 cm tall. However, beside Ruan Hao, who was over 180 cm, and Wen Shu, who was at least 175 cm tall and wearing boots, she seemed quite diminutive.
