CHAPTER 1119: CHAPTER 1119: SHE WILL DIE (7)

The sound was instantly cut off as he walked to the doorway.

He stood at the door, staring with wide eyes, one hand still outstretched, poised to knock, but now hanging in mid-air, as if frozen in place.

At this moment, the atmosphere was both awkward and strange.

Ever since Shu Jiao had scolded Ruan Jianguo last time, he had considerably restrained himself. At least he no longer treated Xiu Xi with disdain or disrespect. With some effort, life was still quite beautiful.

But now, he struggled to take deep breaths, deep breaths, and even deeper breaths!

But it was useless.

He was still about to go mad with anger, ready to explode.

His precious treasure wasn’t even twelve yet, was this guy a pervert?! How could he lay his hands on his precious?

Ruan Jianguo was so furious that his entire face turned purple. He stormed forward, intending to forcibly pull the two apart, but his gaze landed on Ruan Jiaojiao’s injured calf, and he paused, his actions subconsciously becoming gentler.

His precious was injured, looking pitiful now. He couldn’t scare his precious daughter.

Ruan Jianguo kept giving himself pep talks internally, while outwardly showing a smile that he thought was gentle, but looked rather hideous to Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi.

"Xiaoxi, Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao blinked. It was only when he asked that she remembered she was about to ask Xiu Xi what had happened. But then, how did things turn out like this?

A twelve-year-old girl, though she understood a bit about romance, could only observe others’ feelings. She hadn’t quite grasped it for herself yet.

Although she felt it wasn’t right to hug Xiu Xi like that, she didn’t think much beyond that. Facing Ruan Jianguo’s question, she answered calmly, "I was trying to take a few steps for Brother Xi to see, but he wouldn’t let me walk and just held me. Dad, why are you home so early?"

The Ruan Family was currently rapidly rising to prominence. Ruan Jianguo and Lu Zhiwei were truly busy. They hadn’t hired any professional managers or secretaries, so they handled many things themselves.

So, often they couldn’t get home until really late at night.

"Don’t even mention it." Speaking of this, Ruan Jianguo couldn’t help but complain a bit, discreetly pulling Ruan Jiaojiao out of Xiu Xi’s arms as he said, "If you had let Dad come with you in the morning to report in, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt now."

"Quick, let Dad see if the injury is serious or severe." The kind of leg injury Ruan Jiaojiao had, if it were Ruan Jianguo, would just require a wipe with a cloth, his skin being thick and he wouldn’t worry about a bit of bleeding. But seeing this wound on his fair-skinned daughter made Ruan Jianguo’s heart ache. He said, "Last time someone approached Dad to invest in medical equipment, I saw a nice wheelchair, automatic and not expensive. Do you want Dad to get you one?"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao, thank you very much, but she’s a long way from being disabled!

"No need, in a few days I’ll be staying at school. In the meantime, Brother Xi can just carry me." Ruan Jiaojiao tried her best to maintain a smile.

"No need for that, sweetie, Dad has time these days to specifically take you in the morning and evening. Dad’s stronger than your Brother Xi." Ruan Jianguo said, showing off his big arm and flexing his bicep.
