Ruan Fengsi poked the little fellow who curled himself up into a dumpling.
“What? Feeling embarrassed?” His tone was teasing.
In fact, it was really funny when she flipped over just now. If he wasn’t worried, he would have burst out laughing on the spot.
Ruan Shu continued to cover her face with one paw, while the other paw pressed on the finger her brother poked her with, trying to push it away to no avail.
“Time to eat.”
Ruan Fengsi pinched her little ear. As for the previous thought of ignoring this little one, he, the dignified CEO, wouldn’t do such childish things.
It took a while for Ruan Shu to recover. With a milky voice, she meowed and pointed her little paw at the chair next to Dad. She wanted to sit next to Dad.
Ruan Fengsi: …What a little ingrate!
Ruan Xiao said, “Come here.”
Father and son faced each other, without saying anything, yet there was an inexplicably tense atmosphere.
Ruan Shu, now a cat, became much more sensitive. She perked up her little head and looked around.
What’s going on?
“Meow?”
Her little paw, with pink plum-blossom pads, pressed on her brother’s hand, and she meowed again urgingly.
Having not seen Dad for so long, of course Ruan Shu wanted to sit next to Dad.
As for why she came here, she just ran over to greet her elder brother.
Her brother wouldn’t let her down, so the cat decided to fend for herself.
The cat peeked out. The distance didn’t seem too high.
Ruan Shu, holding onto her brother’s hand, began to slowly drop down.
However, the distance, which didn’t seem high, made her body stretch into a long, fluffy shape. Her little feet kicked down, but couldn’t reach QAQ.
Ruan Shu hung on her brother’s hand, unable to see below and not knowing how far she was from the table, feeling scared.
“Wuwuwu…”
Big brother, look at me, the cat is about to fall QAQ.
Actually… both Ruan Fengsi and Ruan Xiao were watching.
But it was too adorable to see her struggling to climb down, dangling her little body and constantly reaching down with her feet. They couldn’t help but want her to hang a little longer.
Moreover, the cat didn’t know that her feet were only two fingers away from the table.
In the end, moved by the kitten’s whimpers, Ruan Fengsi lowered his hand.
Good, her feet reached the table. Ruan Shu’s paw, holding her brother’s hand, loosened, and the entire cat fell down.
She fell on her bottom, but with her body’s soft flesh, it didn’t hurt at all.
Standing up and shaking her fur, Ruan Shu walked briskly towards Dad with happy little steps.
Her eyes were bright, and her little mustache trembled with her movements.
“Daddy, I’m here!”
Ruan Fengsi felt a sourness in his heart watching this, but there was nothing he could do as the cat wanted to run over.
Transforming back into her human form, Ruan Shu sat on the chair next to her father, holding a small bowl and eating seriously, accepting the food fed by her father.
Finally, she stopped eating only when her little stomach was round and full.
“I will take you to school tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Ruan Shu twisted her little neck and looked over, “Tomorrow?”
Ruan Xiao hummed in response, “First, I’ll take you to see the school. If you don’t like it, we can change.”
Ruan Shu obediently agreed.
But inside, she was still very nervous. Going to school meant she couldn’t stay with her father and brothers anymore, which was a bit disappointing.
But she also clearly knew that at her age, she definitely had to go to school.
It’s okay, if it’s like her previous life, it’s fine even without friends.
Ruan Shu silently cheered herself up in her heart.
That night, Ruan Shu was taken by her father to sleep in his room.
Ruan Fengsi, unable to compete with his own father, went back to his room and started calling around to cause trouble for others.
I’m upset and can’t sleep, so you shouldn’t either!
The people harassed by him were speechless.
“Really bad luck to have known you, old six!”
Ruan Xiao dried her hair and was looking for clothes when he suddenly thought of something and pulled out a letter from that military uniform.
“Shu Shu, do you know someone named Almer?”
Ruan Shu obediently nodded, “I know him.”
She knew very few people. Almer was handsome, especially his eyes, which were as bright as the sun and particularly memorable.
Moreover, Almer had personally said that she was his friend and had written a letter to her.
Perhaps because she received too little kindness in her previous life, Ruan Shu cherished every bit of kindness given to her. She still kept that letter carefully.
Ruan Xiao handed her the envelope, “This is from Almer for you.”
Ruan Shu was somewhat surprised, “Dad, do you know Almer?”
Ruan Xiao’s look at her was complicated. How could he not know him? That was their majesty.
However, Ruan Xiao didn’t say it, mainly because he was afraid Ruan Shu would feel burdened.
He vaguely said, “Sort of know him.”
Ruan Shu opened the envelope and found that in addition to a letter, there was also a gemstone.
Red in color, about the size of a pigeon’s egg.
It’s very beautiful, shimmering under the light.
Ruan Shu “!!!”
Although in the last letter, Almer said he would give her a sapphire like her eyes when they met again, she didn’t believe it.
Who knew that before they even met, he had sent such a large ruby through her father’s hands!
“Dad.”
Ruan Shu’s fair little hands cradled the dazzling ruby, the two striking colors mixing together conspicuously and beautifully.
She was somewhat at a loss.
“Could Almer have sent the wrong one? This gemstone… it’s so big!”
Ruan Xiao wasn’t too surprised, after all, he knew that their emperor, lacking in nothing, certainly wouldn’t lack in pearls and gems.
“Read the letter first.”
Ruan Shu softly acknowledged and carefully set aside the gemstone before opening the letter.
Dear Ruan Shu:
Although we haven’t met yet, I hope you won’t forget your friend and I’m glad to write to you again.
I’ll keep the sapphire for when we meet. Until then, this ruby is for you, and I hope you like it.
Of course, I think no one can refuse these beautiful stones that are pleasing to the eye though they may not be of much use.
Your father and I have a good relationship. I would be very happy to receive your reply, and I hope we can meet soon.
Your friend, Almer.
The implication in the latter part for her to reply was too obvious, pretending not to see it was impossible.
