Chapter 1984: Old Married Couple (1)

He simply decided to talk through it, ignoring Rou Rou’s nod, and dragged his leg out while saying: "You don’t want to, then forget it, I’ll go buy the ticket first..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a ripping sound, and felt a chill on his lower body. Shocked, he looked down to see that the suit pants he wore for a meeting today had ripped from the hem to thigh level. If it went any higher, his large, black underwear would be exposed.

The ripping sound was exceptionally loud, drawing the attention of everyone inside the room. But since Ruan Jiaojiao was facing away, she hadn’t had time to get up and check before Duan Xi pulled her back into her seat.

Of course, as a man, showing a bit of thigh wasn’t much for Ruan Jianguo. Back in the countryside, he used to work shirtless often, and his pants legs would frequently roll up to his thighs.

But!

But!

When he looked up and saw Shu Jiao in high heels, standing at the door with a surprised look, he felt utterly humiliated.

That hairy thigh was shaking uncontrollably within the torn suit, looking like it had epilepsy under Shu Jiao’s astonished gaze.

"!!!" Ruan Jianguo.

Even being a six-foot-something, dark-skinned man couldn’t save him from freezing at the entrance, cheeks flushed. Fortunately, his recent tan made the redness less noticeable.

"..." Shu Jiao.

She looked at Rou Rou who had long walked away with its tail hanging low after doing something bad, and then at Ruan Jianguo’s shaking hairy leg, with his underwear almost visible. Feeling awkward, she stood at the door, uncertain whether to pretend nothing happened and enter, or step back out.

Whatever she thought, her face slightly flushed, and her gaze became evasive.

The last time she received a call from Ruan Jiaojiao, who mentioned Ruan Jianguo was back, she had been thinking of finding a time to visit. Not being one to drag things out, once she realized she couldn’t let go of Ruan Jianguo, her immediate thought was to understand how she truly felt. Yet she had been too busy until today. Unexpectedly, this was the scene she walked into.

Although they had been married for so many years, after the divorce was brought up, they hadn’t been intimate for nearly two years. Seeing this kind of scene suddenly did make her blush.

The two stood dumbfounded at the doorway, neither speaking.

Finally, Shu Jiao coughed, blushing as she spoke: "Why don’t you change your pants first."

Ruan Jianguo heard this and immediately snapped out of it. It was truly embarrassing; his first reaction was to turn and run to his room, missing Shu Jiao’s blushing face.

After he entered the room, Ruan Jiaojiao was finally released by Duan Xi. Seeing Shu Jiao’s flushed face, she was puzzled, thinking it was because she was hot. She quickly waved: "Mom, why is your face all red from the heat? Come over, there’s some chilled watermelon here."

But besides Ruan Jiaojiao, all the other boys had witnessed the earlier scene. They exchanged glances, then looked away as if nothing happened, though they couldn’t help but grin.
