"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this," Duan Xi reassured softly, reaching over to hold Jiaojiao’s small hand as she frowned.

Jiaojiao turned her head skeptically to look at him and asked, "Brother Xi, so you did that on purpose today, didn’t you?"

She thought, given his usual temperament, he should have come with her, not invited such a large group of people over.

Duan Xi didn’t deny it.

His hostility towards Lu Xian existed since the first time they met as children. The Ruan Family and the Lu Family had a good relationship, so it was impossible to completely cut off all contact. He initially thought that after the engagement last time, Lu Xian would give up, but unexpectedly, he still hadn’t.

Jiaojiao stopped talking, feeling a bit irritated inside.

Being with Duan Xi felt like a natural progression.

Between them, there was not only love but also familial bonds. Even before she realized her romantic feelings for Duan Xi, she was already inseparable from him because of family ties.

In her mind, she belonged to him, and he belonged to her.

They were inseparable.

Although she had been reincarnated, she never thought of herself as special. In fact, she considered herself to be as ordinary as could be. Other than having a pretty face given by Shu Jiao, she had no other merits.

Unlike heroines in other books, who could write poetry at three and four, do business at five and six, invent things at seven and eight, and become global billionaires by ten, leading their family to the pinnacle of life...

In contrast, she knew nothing. From childhood to adulthood, she was frail and often sick. She couldn’t write poetry and only managed to get into university at fifteen through hard work. She was clueless about business, and her only wish was to be a simple idle person, never to be apart from her family.

Such an ordinary person, being able to connect with Duan Xi, already felt like a huge boon to her. She really couldn’t understand why anyone else would be interested in her.

And being noticed didn’t make her happy; her first reaction was annoyance. The Ruan Family and the Lu Family had such a good relationship, she didn’t want any change to occur because of anything. She also didn’t want Lu Xian to get hurt.

"Don’t worry, just pretend you don’t know anything." Duan Xi, seeing her anxiously picking at her nails, felt a bit of heartache and held her small hand, placing it on his thigh and gently massaging it.

"Hmm." Jiaojiao responded, but her mood didn’t improve much.

Lu Xian’s car was in the lead, and half an hour later, they arrived at the racing site, which was on a circular hill. As their car drove over, there were already many people there.

Lu Xian took them halfway up the mountain and stopped on a flat area where many cars were parked.

Lu Xian mentioned they had arrived and got out of the car first. Lu Zishu followed, and as soon as he got out, he took a deep breath. Earlier in the car, he had felt stifled, not daring to breathe deeply. Now, being on the mountain with fresh air, he couldn’t help but take a few deep breaths.

Ruan Chi got out after him, watching Lu Xian already heading over for the arrangements. He turned and patted Lu Zishu’s shoulder and said, "You know what to do about what happened in the car, right?"

"Huh? What happened in the car?" Lu Zishu raised his eyes, confused.

Ruan Chi raised an eyebrow and then said meaningfully, "Good."

"??? Lu Zishu?"
