Chapter 138 No need to make any promises to her

As soon as Ruan Hantong heard that Ji Zhixu was going to report to the official, he immediately panicked.

She knew that only by moving the children out of the Ji family and speaking out could Ji Zhixu believe her words.

However, Ji Zhixu just looked at her coldly, as if he wanted to see what lies she could tell.

"Miss Ruan, children can't lie, but if they can't resist someone, they will sow discord and instigate them to lie. Are you right?"

"Brother Xu, are you talking about Sister Yao?"

"Who am I talking about? Miss Ruan, you know it well. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being rude."

Ji Zhixu saw Ruan Hantong still acting like a tough talker. He didn't want to waste any more words with her. Instead, he lowered his eyes, left a cold threat, and turned around to leave.

Ruan Hantong couldn't understand how things could develop like this. She clenched her fists and stared at Ji Zhixu's leaving figure, which further aroused her urge to conquer this man.

"Tongtong, the one who was talking to you just now is Master Ji Zhi, right?"

Just when Ruan Handong was about to turn around and go home, Mrs. Ruan just opened the courtyard door and walked out. She saw a familiar figure from a distance and asked casually.

"Yes, mother, what can I do?"

"Tongtong, it's not my mother who wants to talk to you. Not to mention that this young master of the Ji family is already married and has five children at home. You must not be blinded by lard and fall in love with this kind of family!"

Mrs. Ruan said she couldn't look down on a family like Ji Zhixu's. She glanced at her daughter's face, which was obviously red from shyness, and felt anxious.

Not long ago, her daughter got too close to those little brats from the Ji family and brought her home, which made the master unhappy and even had the old lady's jade bracelet stolen.

If the master sees that Tongtong is having trouble with the Ji family, he will be scolded for not being able to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ruan could not stand still. She walked down the steps in small steps and ran to Ruan Hantong's side. She immediately grabbed her arm and wanted to take her daughter home quickly.

"Okay, mother, can you stop worrying so much?"

Ruan Hantong pushed away Mrs. Ruan's hand impatiently. She was in a very unhappy mood now, and naturally she was not in the mood to perform any drama of motherly kindness and filial piety with Mrs. Ruan.

"Tongtong, what are you talking about? Mother doesn't care who else can you care about?"

Mrs. Ruan was pushed by Ruan Handong and almost staggered. She looked at the indifferent Ruan Handong in disbelief and murmured to herself.

"Mother is probably worried that she will be kicked out of the house, so she takes care of me like this."

Hearing what Mrs. Ruan said, Ruan Hantong didn't react at all. Instead, he glanced at the other party, brushed off the wrinkles on his clothes, and went home without looking back.

Mrs. Ruan was left standing alone, her eyes red and almost crying again.

What's going on? Where did her originally dull but obedient daughter go? How did she become like this!

Mrs. Ruan couldn't figure it out. Just like Ruan Hantong at this moment, she also couldn't figure out what went wrong. Why would the male protagonist be so protective of the cannon fodder female supporting role?

“Sister Yaoyao, what’s something delicious to eat tonight?”

In the Ji family, Ji Letong stretched out and went to look for Mu Daiyao in the yard as soon as he woke up.

She originally wanted to throw herself directly into Mu Daiyao's arms like before, but the last second before she was about to pounce, Ji Letong suddenly thought of something.

"Sister Yaoyao, your arm is not healed yet."

"Yes, but luckily it's not summer. The wound is not easily inflamed and should be healed soon."

Mu Daiyao smiled and put her arms around Ji Letong, who was still yawning, and said with emotion.

"That bad guy really deserves to die. He should be beaten to death by daddy!"

Ji Letong pursed his lips and looked very unhappy.

"Tongtong is still young, you can't just say that you will be beaten to death."

Mu Daiyao raised her finger and gently placed it on Ji Letong's mouth, and said softly.

"But he is an outsider, and he also hurt you, Sister Yaoyao. This is absolutely unforgivable."

However, Ji Letong, who was very obedient in the past, refused to listen to Mu Daiyao this time. She looked at Mu Daiyao and said every word seriously.

In Ji Letong's eyes, which looked childish but were inexplicably as paranoid as before her rebirth, Mu Daiyao saw herself who was slightly absent-minded.

It's really similar.

This scene fell in the eyes of Ji Zhixu, who was standing not far away, and made him stop in his tracks.

He heard the conversation between Yaoniang and Tongtong, and thought of what Ruan Hantong said to him not long ago.

Suddenly, Ji Zhixu's heart was filled with thousands of thoughts.

"Tongtong, you are right, whoever hurts your mother will be punished."

A deep man's voice came over, interrupting Mu Daiyao's thoughts.

It's Ji Zhixu who's back.

Mu Daiyao subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound. Before she could think about it, she blurted out: "Mr. Master, where have you been? Are you back so late?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Daiyao and Ji Zhixu were both stunned for a moment.

Mu Daiyao couldn't believe that she actually cared about when this man would come home, while Ji Zhixu never thought that Yao Niang would suddenly ask her this question.

He was stunned for a while, and it was rare that he was at a loss for words.

"Ahem, I mean, sir, did something happen to you when you came back so late?"

Seeing that her words made the whole courtyard quiet, Mu Daiyao quickly changed her mind, put a decent smile on her face, stood up and went to greet him.

"Yao Niang, I went to do something and kept you waiting at home for a long time. This situation will not happen again in the future."

Ji Zhixu looked at Mu Daiyao calmly and said these words inexplicably.

This made Mu Daiyao raise her eyebrows unconsciously, and said with some confusion: "My husband, if you have something important to do, it is normal for you to go home late. You don't need to make such a promise to me."

Otherwise, it would really make her feel very awkward, as if she owes the other party something invisible.

"No, I just feel that I did something wrong before, and now I want to make amends before it's too late."

Ji Zhixu could see Mu Daiyao's doubts. He didn't want to explain more, but walked forward and slowly approached her.

Just when he was still one step away, he stopped and stretched out his hand to approach Mu Daiyao's temples.

"Um?"

Mu Daiyao subconsciously stepped back, but her speed was not as fast as Ji Zhixu's.

The cool fingers brushed against Mu Daiyao's cheek, causing a shiver to run down her spine and almost shudder.

"leaf."

Ji Zhixu held a slightly yellowed leaf between his slender fingers and said softly.

"..."

Mu Daiyao's face suddenly turned red, she rolled her eyes at Ji Zhixu angrily, turned around and ran away.
