Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

Her mood, which had been a little annoyed by Jiang Qiuyu's scheme, improved. She leaned on Huo Yan's arm and curled her eyelashes.

"I know."

Her voice seemed to be mixed with honey. She grabbed Huo Yan's hand and rubbed her cheek against it: "Thank you, Mr. Huo."

Huo Yan silently helped her tidy up her long hair. He was as calm and reliable as a towering tree, with an attitude of complete protection and support.

After being interrupted like this, Ruan Xingchen felt much better.

When he looked at Ruan Jiaci again, his eyes had calmed down a bit: "Are you sure you want to follow me?"

"The country's welfare system is very sound now. Even if you go to an orphanage, you can still eat well and afford to go to school. At most, you can't live a wealthy life like before."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile, a cold smile without much warmth. "Even if you follow me, it won't be like before, where you can get whatever you want. Everything I have is mine, and it has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?"

Her attitude became serious, and Ruan Jiaci couldn't help but shrink back.

She pursed her lips tightly, nodded solemnly after a moment, and replied, "I, I remember."

"I hope you really remember it."

Ruan Xingchen looked at him deeply, and his expression did not soften because of his pitiful appearance.

She picked up the water cup and took a sip of warm water to moisten her lips. Noticing the perfect temperature, her eyes became a little softer.

But his tone was still cold as he said, "One more thing, I really hate Jiang Qiuyu. I can take care of you until you grow up, but I will never allow myself to raise an ungrateful person who can't tell right from wrong. If you dare to do anything to Jiang Qiuyu when he comes back..."

She curled the corners of her mouth coldly, and the coldness in her black and white eyes was undisguised. She said in a cold voice: "Don't blame me for being rude to you."

Ruan Jiaci shuddered.

His contact with this sister was very limited. He had only met her a few times, and every time there was chaos.

He had been a little bully who was pampered and loved since he was young, and it was Ruan Xingchen who made him experience the feeling of being beaten.

He still remembers the beating vividly, and his little butt seems to ache slightly when he thinks about it.

In this pain and shivering, he seemed to have developed a greater sense of security.

He clenched his fists and nodded vigorously: "I remember!"

His eyes were still a little red, as if he could cry at any moment.

Trying hard to act like an adult, he sniffed and said seriously, "I, I know she's not a good person. She's done a lot of bad things... I will listen to you and won't cause you any trouble. You trust me."

Ruan Xingchen still maintained that noncommittal attitude.

She clearly understood that a big part of the reason why Ruan Jiaci was so well-behaved and obedient now was because he had no choice.

For children, going to an orphanage is a terrible thing, as it means being completely abandoned.

Perhaps his promise at this moment came from the heart, but when he really saw his biological mother and was provoked by Jiang Qiuyu's eloquent words, there was no way to guarantee that he would still remember the oath he made at this moment.

However, Ruan Xingchen did not expect to be able to restrain Ruan Jiaci with these few words and make him stand on his side in the future.

She said this just to give herself a heads-up.

Let Ruan Jiaci know the consequences of his actions. If he still chooses to stand on the same side with Jiang Qiuyu after knowing the consequences, she will not need to be polite to him in the future.

Don’t think that children really don’t understand anything. At Ruan Jiaci’s age, they have begun to understand the cruelty of the world and have learned to read people’s expressions.

Seeing that Ruan Jiaci agreed to everything, Ruan Xingchen didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

He stood up calmly and said calmly, "In this case, I will communicate with the community staff. You will come with me later."

Ruan Jiaci's eyes lit up, and a look of anticipation and desire appeared on his little face.

He was a bit incredulous and didn't care about playing games anymore.

Her little hands clutched her game console tightly as she whispered, "Really? You want me?"

"Can I still regret it?"

Ruan Xingchen sighed silently.

She wasn't so petty as to vent her anger on a child; she was just saying it casually.

She went out and called the community worker in and told him her decision.

Of course, the community workers had no objections and instead praised her for her kindness.

Fortunately, Jiang Qiuyu did not do anything so extreme. Ruan Jiaci's things were all neatly placed in his small room.

After helping Ruan Jiaci pack his things, Ruan Xingchen took him away.

Ruan Jiaci probably knew that she would never come back. She stood at the door, looked at the messy room, and pursed her lips.

This was the second time he had moved since he could remember.

The first time was when the Ruan family caught fire. Ruan Zeming and Ruan Weisi died in the fire. He and Jiang Qiuyu had to move from the Ruan family villa to this rented house.

Although he was confused at that time, he was not afraid because his mother, who always loved him, was by his side.

This time, he was abandoned by his mother and had to follow Ruan Xingchen to leave this "home" where he had lived for a short time.

Ruan Xingchen let him take one last look at this house. She stood to one side with her arms folded and said calmly, "If you can't bear to leave, just look at it for a while. You won't have the chance to come back again."

Even if he comes back, this place will have nothing to do with him.

She was willing to support Ruan Jiaci and take care of him until he came of age, which was already a sign of her magnanimity.

Jiang Qiuyu rented this house, and she would not buy it just for Ruan Jiaci's little wish.

"I'll ask the cleaner to clean this place later, and then ask the landlord to cancel the lease."

Ruan Xingchen's expression was calm as he said, "I can give you ten minutes. You can stay a little longer."

Unexpectedly, when Ruan Jiaci heard her proposal, he shook his head and refused without hesitation.

"I'm not reluctant."

He looked up at Ruan Xingchen cautiously, as if afraid that she would be unhappy.

After all, he is still young and cannot accurately describe his current mood.

When he was so young, he suddenly encountered two major changes in his life.

It’s not so much that he is reluctant to leave this place, but rather that he is just in a complicated mood, and it can be regarded as a complete break with the past.

His childhood was completely over from today on.

Ruan Jiaci stopped looking and looked up at Ruan Xingchen.

It was hard to tell whether it was admiration or dependence in his eyes. He tentatively raised his chubby little hand and called her cautiously, "Sister."

He called out this name for the first time and asked in a low voice as if negotiating, "Can I hold your hand?"

Ruan Xingchen lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on his chubby little hands.
