Ruan Jiaojiao watched his joyful expression, and the strong urge to sleep that she had been feeling was now completely gone. However, she really didn't know how to intervene in this matter. If she told him directly, whether Ruan Wei would believe her was one issue, but the main fear was that it might hurt him. Yet, not telling him worried her that if expectations piled up too high and were shattered by Liao Zhaoji herself, the damage to him might be even greater.
Ruan Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, thought of several plans in her mind, and eventually, she was convinced by Shu Jiao's approach—let the father and son resolve this matter by themselves.
"Okay, then save me some for tomorrow morning, brother. It's late now, you should go to sleep."
After sending Ruan Wei off to bed, Ruan Jiaojiao lay down but found herself unable to sleep, tossing and turning until after ten before she finally managed to fall asleep.
