Chapter 858: Holding the Table Under the Wall
Chapter 858: Holding the Table Under the Wall
After Jiang Mubai finished eating, he took Xiangxiang to the living room and sat down. The child had not yet had his milk, so Jiang Mubai didn't dare to coax him to sleep. He could only wait for the milk powder to be prepared in the kitchen before feeding Xiangxiang.
Thinking about it, he was a little tired after being awake for the whole morning. He didn't make a fuss or cry to Jiang Mubai because he hadn't eaten for the whole morning. Jiang Mubai felt so heartbroken for his child when he saw it.
"Baby, if you are so sensible, no one will feel sorry for you in the future. Children who cry get candy, you know?"
Thinking that he couldn't understand what they were saying, he naturally wouldn't respond. The more Jiang Mubai saw the child's ignorant look, the more he swore in his heart that he would love this child well in the future. After all, he had been so obedient and lovable since he was a child, so he deserved to be treated so well.
After being hungry for the whole morning, he finally got to drink milk. He finished the whole bottle in just a few minutes. Jiang Mubai, who was watching from the side, was amazed at how fast the child drank milk.
"How long have you been hungry? My little baby, you are so pitiful. Mommy won't let you starve for so long next time, okay?"
After the child finished a bottle of milk, Jiang Mubai did not make some more milk for him. She knew that Xiang Xiang was not full, but it was not good for him to drink too much if he wanted to sleep. And Xiang Xiang was not full, so he did not get upset or angry when he saw Jiang Mubai take the pacifier away from his mouth.
"Okay, let's drink milk after you wake up, okay? It's time for us to go to bed now. Mommy will go upstairs to put you to sleep."
Jiang Mubai brought the child back to the room and coaxed Xiangxiang to sleep in less than five minutes. After the child fell asleep, Jiang Mubai did not carry Xiangxiang back to the suite but let him sleep in his own bed. This way, it was convenient for Jiang Mubai to see his child at any time.
She was afraid that Xiang Xiang wouldn't be able to sleep in the new environment, so she took out the child's usual small toys and quilt from the cradle and placed them around Xiang Xiang, hoping to provide him with a familiar environment to soothe his emotions.
Facts proved that Jiang Mubai was overthinking. When she woke up from a nap, Xiang Xiang was still sleeping soundly and didn't show any sign of being uncomfortable. It was not time for dinner yet, and Jiang Mubai didn't get up after waking up. He just kept leaning his head against Xiang Xiang's side and looking at her.
Later, when they were having dinner, she realized that the child had not woken up yet. Jiang Mubai was afraid of disturbing her sleep, so she did not take the child away. Instead, she called someone to the room to help her look after the child.
During her nap, the housekeeper had bought almost all the things on Jiang Mubai's list. He also bought the green and purple toys that Jiang Mubai had asked for. Jiang Mubai was very satisfied with what the housekeeper had done. After seeing it, she praised his abilities without hesitation.
When Jiang An came back from get off work, he was also shocked by the things on the ground: "What are these? Why did you buy so many?"
"These are all the things I want to decorate. Didn't I tell you before that I want to arrange the hundred-day banquet myself? The time is getting closer and I have to start preparing now."
"So that's how it is. I thought you, Mu Bai, went out shopping and bought so many things today."
"I guess so. After all, these are what I wanted, but I just didn't go out. These were all bought for me by Uncle Chen himself. It must be very tiring for you to buy so many things and see them one by one, Uncle Chen."
"It's not hard. I used to stay in the villa and didn't do much physical work every day. I wondered if my limbs were degenerating. Today, after running outside for most of the day, I feel that my body is still okay and I feel a lot more relaxed. I should go out and exercise like this from time to time, otherwise what will I do when I get older?"
"No, Uncle Chen, even if you are too old to walk, we will take care of you. You are like my and my father's family. Uncle Chen, don't worry about your future."
"Yes, Brother Chen, you have been with me for so many years that I have already treated you as a family member in my heart. You can rest assured that Mu Bai and I will take care of you in the future."
Jiang Mubai and Jiang An said this because they knew that Chen Qi had never been married and had no children. They did not say this on purpose for each other to hear. This was what Jiang Mubai and Jiang An had planned in their minds, so they said this so that the other party could feel more at ease.
Chen Qineng was naturally very happy that Jiang An and Jiang Mubai treated him so attentively.
"Okay, as long as you two don't mind me being too old and unable to work, I will be your housekeeper in the Jiang family for the rest of my life."
"How could I dislike you, Uncle Chen? I like you so much that I can't wait. You've been busy outside all day and haven't had a good meal. The kitchen has prepared dinner. Let's go eat now. Uncle Chen, you have to eat more later. I feel bad for tiring you, so I can only repay you with delicious food."
"Okay, having delicious food is more than enough. I'll ask someone to put these things away first. They're in the way in the living room and it would be bad if you trip over them. Mu Bai, you and your father should go to the restaurant and wait for me."
Seeing that Chen Qi was about to leave and ask someone to pack up these things, Jiang An stopped the man and took him to the restaurant instead.
"There's no rush. We can arrange it after dinner. If we wait until we've finished arranging things before eating, the food will be cold by then, which is not worth it."
Chen Qiren had already been brought to the restaurant by Jiang An. If he still wanted to ask someone to move things at this time, he would be too ungrateful. Anyone who could become a butler and be valued by Jiang An was naturally not an ordinary person.
Chen Qi knew this so he sat down and had dinner with the Jiang father and daughter. Jiang Mubai was really grateful for what the housekeeper had done for her, so she kept picking up food for him and asking him to eat more.
Anyway, when the dinner was over, Chen Qi walked out of the restaurant holding on to the wall. When Jiang An saw this, he couldn't help but blame Jiang Mubai.
"Look at how uncomfortable your uncle Chen must feel after being fed like this by you. People of our age don't dare to eat too much at night for fear of poor digestion and affecting sleep."
Without waiting for Jiang Mubai to speak, Chen Qi took the lead in making excuses for her: "It's okay. You've used up so much energy today, so it's okay to eat a little more. I'm not too full, it's just that I haven't eaten so much in a long time, so I'm a little uncomfortable. Just walk around the yard a few times later."
"Then just spoil her. Fortunately, Mu Bai has grown up. If there was someone who loved her as much as you did when she was a child and played the good cop and the bad cop with me, she would probably like you even more."
"Mu Bai is such a sensible child, you must love her more than I do, how could you bear to scold her? Look at you, she doesn't even notice how serious you are when you say this in front of me."
"That's true. After all, I only have one daughter. What else can I do if I don't spoil her? But you are making yourself suffer. If you can't eat, won't you refuse?"
"I saw that Mu Bai was so enthusiastic in picking food for me that I didn't want to refuse."
"Is that so? On the contrary, when I saw that you didn't refuse, I thought you were really hungry after being busy with so many things today, so I kept picking up food for you. How could I know that this was the case? It's all my fault that I didn't notice that you were so full."
"It's okay, just go out for a walk and take some digestive pills later."
"To punish me, I'll go with you to the yard for a walk to help you digest your food."
