Chapter 1024 Xin Miao (2)

Xin Miao's face was pale. She was half-lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Upon hearing the words, she opened her eyes and looked over.

Ruan Jiaojiao wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like Xin Miao's eyes lit up when she saw... the person behind her.

Despite being petite and frail, Xin Miao was very beautiful—especially her large, bright eyes, which sparkled like precious gems when they lit up.

Ruan Jiaojiao blinked and followed her gaze to realize that Xin Miao was looking at her older brother, Ruan Jie.

Ruan Jie unexpectedly found himself locking eyes with such large, bright eyes, and the way she stared at him like she had discovered some treasure startled him. Instinctively, he shifted aside, but her gaze stuck to him.

"I remember you. Thank you for saving me yesterday," Xin Miao said. Her voice, soft and sweet, was as pleasant as that of her mother, Mrs. Xin.
