Chapter 886: You’re Still Recovering—Don’t Fool Around
Qin Chao was driving.As he drove, he chatted with Bao Mingyuan.
"President Bao and Miss Su both miss you!"
Bao Mingyuan chuckled, "I know my own kids well. They’re probably too busy enjoying their own world to worry about this old man!"
Qin Chao glanced at Su Ruanruan in the rearview mirror.
He shut his mouth.
Su Ruanruan softly said, "Dad, Bao Jingyan and I both miss you."
Bao Mingyuan said lovingly, "I believe you."
Qin Chao: ...
The car arrived at the villa.
Bao Jingyan was sick and resting upstairs, while Aunt Li was preparing ginger tea for him.
When she saw Bao Mingyuan arrive, Aunt Li greeted him and handed the ginger tea to Su Ruanruan, asking her to bring it upstairs.
Bao Mingyuan, still doting on his son, said enthusiastically, "I’ll go up and see Jingyan too!"
As soon as he went upstairs, he saw,
Oh boy, sitting on the couch in loungewear, reading the newspaper!
Bao Mingyuan tossed the little darling beside him: "Your daughter."
The little darling snuggled up next to Bao Jingyan and touched his head with her tiny hand, "Ruanruan said Daddy was sick."
Bao Jingyan pulled the little one onto his lap.
He gave her a big kiss.
Taking a closer look, the little darling looked more and more like Su Ruanruan when she was young... quite a likeness.
Bao Jingyan chatted with the little darling.
Bao Mingyuan closely observed his son: indeed, he was sick.
His lips were chapped, his complexion was dull.
Bao Mingyuan took out a cigarette but didn’t light it, jokingly scolded his son, "See what you get for showing off, now you’re sick!"
He went downstairs and came back up with two thick ginseng roots.
He said, "Your uncle asked me to bring these to you!"
Bao Jingyan looked at the wild ginseng and then at Su Ruanruan.
He gave a gentle smile, "I probably don’t need this, why don’t you ask Ruanruan."
Su Ruanruan was both embarrassed and annoyed.
She couldn’t flare up with the elders around.
Bao Mingyuan, having experienced life, could tell what was going on.
He cursed inwardly: Bao Jingyan, put on some clothes!
Bao Mingyuan picked up his little granddaughter and went downstairs, making space for that shameless dad.
The second floor fell quiet again.
Bao Jingyan reached out and gently said, "Come here, let me see."
Su Ruanruan was still annoyed with him, "You were just talking nonsense again."
Bao Jingyan tilted his head to look at her.
After a while, he suddenly laughed, "I got sick, did you cry?"
"I didn’t!" Su Ruanruan denied.
Bao Jingyan pulled her closer and looked at her carefully, then softly said, "You definitely cried."
Su Ruanruan didn’t respond, but her eyes were a little red... a bit like when she was young.
Bao Jingyan felt a tug at his heart.
He lowered his head to kiss her, his hands restless.
Su Ruanruan refused.
She placed her hand on his shoulder, "You’re just getting better, don’t mess around."
Bao Jingyan looked at her intently and said rightfully, "I just want to make you happy."
Su Ruanruan laughed and cried at the same time.
She leaned over, took the thermometer, and checked his temperature.
Indeed, it was still close to 39 degrees.
Su Ruanruan made him take medicine, and Bao Jingyan pestered her to feed him... Su Ruanruan had no choice but to comply, half pushing and half accommodating, worried that someone might come up, so she remained flustered.
Once the medicine was administered, Bao Jingyan finally settled down.
He made another request, "I want some porridge."
Su Ruanruan grabbed a cushion, propped it behind him, and gently said, "I’ll get it for you."
Bao Jingyan continued reading his magazine.
As Su Ruanruan reached the door, she found the little darling standing against the corner, observing for who knows how long.
She blushed and pretended not to notice.
The little darling lifted her small head, "Is this what Daddy is like when he’s sick? Do grown-ups need to be mouth-fed medicine?"
Her father’s voice came over, "That’s a special privilege just for Daddy."
The little darling was indignant, "Why can’t I have it!"
Bao Jingyan seriously asked her, "Do you usually go mouth-to-mouth with Ruanruan, do you..."
Su Ruanruan wouldn’t let him finish.
She took the little darling away to prevent any bad influence!
They went downstairs.
Bao Mingyuan had already toured the place, nodding repeatedly, "Ruanruan, this little villa of yours is quite nice! It’s all organized nicely."
He seemed like he was planning to stay for a long time.
Su Ruanruan was also delighted, she invited Bao Mingyuan to stay for a few days.
