The Tycoon's Little Darling: Uncle, you're going to spoil me rotten!

Chapter 84 Snuggling in His Arms

"The master has stolen another red bean ice cream, two ice cream cones, and a shaved ice."

Gu Nuannuan was surprised. Even she, a young person, couldn't handle eating so much. How could Old Jiang, a man in his seventies, possibly have an accident if he ate so much?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenyu clenched his fist, then relaxed it. "I understand. You can go and rest now."

The butler left the study.

When it was just the two of them, Jiang Chenyu stood up and turned to look at his wife beside him.

Gu Nuannuan's eyes crinkled with tears as she gazed at her husband. "Husband."

"Hmm?" Jiang Chenyu's voice was clear and melodious, with a slight upturn in tone, waiting for his wife to continue. Gu Nuannuan tentatively put her arm around Jiang Chenyu's waist and snuggled into his embrace. "Thank you."

A simple thank you showed that Gu Nuannuan understood his good intentions.

A slight smile appeared on Jiang Chenyu's cold and handsome face.

He reached out and wrapped his arm around his wife's slender waist, while stroking the back of her head with his other hand. "Are you feeling better this time?"

Gu Nuannuan nodded in his arms.

"Go to bed early tonight, we'll be taking over at the hospital tomorrow."

Gu Nuannuan nodded again, but she did not leave her husband's embrace.

After hugging for five minutes, Jiang Chenyu couldn't help but remind her, "If you keep hugging like this, you'll just be sleeping in the study tonight."

Gu Nuannuan blushed and released her husband's embrace.

In the hospital, Old Jiang also woke up.

It took him a while to realize he was in the hospital, and then he saw the IV drip on the back of his hand.

Upon seeing him wake up, Wei Aihua and Mayor Jiang rushed forward to ask him how he was feeling.

"My stomach still hurts a little," said Mr. Jiang.

Mayor Jiang hurriedly called his son, "Xiao Su, go to the doctor's office and call the doctor over to give your grandfather another check-up."

Jiangsu ran very fast, and when he came back, he was followed by a doctor in a white coat.

Seeing that Mr. Jiang had regained consciousness, the doctor asked him, "Mr. Jiang, how many ice creams did you eat this afternoon?"

Thinking of the trash in the bedroom bin, Old Jiang hesitated for a moment, "I forgot about it too."

Wei Aihua told the doctor, "I remember clearly, it was three. My sister-in-law made sure my dad didn't eat more than three."

The doctor interrupted Wei Aihua and looked at Old Jiang, saying, "Chairman Jiang, you are the patient and only you know how serious it was tonight. If you really can't remember, then don't answer me. But you must remember, you can't eat any more of these cold foods in the future."

Old Jiang nodded.

Mayor Jiang, who was standing nearby, had already noticed something was wrong. After the doctor left, he asked his father, "Dad, did you sneak some food?"

Old Jiang on the bed immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Wei Aihua hadn't been Jiang Lao's daughter-in-law for so many years for nothing; she understood him and saw his evasive manner. Wei Aihua was also convinced that her father-in-law had secretly eaten ice cream.

“Dad, how could you do this? If you wanted to eat it, you could have eaten it tomorrow. You ate it secretly today and ended up in the hospital, which scared Nuan Nuan. She felt guilty, worried, and regretful. Her eyes were swollen from crying today... I never thought it was because you ate it secretly.”

Old Jiang never expected that secretly eating an ice cream would land him in the hospital; it would be incredibly embarrassing if word got out.

He is over seventy years old and has always been dignified. This matter is embarrassing for him, so he is unwilling to talk about it.

However, his eldest son, lacking any sense of propriety, kept pressuring him to answer.

"Dad, everyone in the house is family. Nobody knows what you've been doing. Tell me, how much did you secretly eat this afternoon?"

Old Jiang opened his eyes, his gaze darting around, and said, "I only secretly ate a few pieces."

Jiangsu also asked, "Grandpa, how much is it in several pieces?"

Old Jiang never imagined that he would one day be in such a situation.

Not only was she caught cheating, but she was also questioned by her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson at the same time.

He's lost all his authority!

The three of them each said something, and finally Old Jiang got annoyed and said, "Four yuan is fine, isn't it?"

A family of three: "..."

Wei Aihua was the first to exclaim, "Dad, are you crazy? Three plus four equals seven, and you ate seven pieces in one afternoon. Even the young men of Jiangsu wouldn't dare to eat like that, you..." Mayor Jiang also didn't expect his father to be so childish and have such poor self-control.

Jiangsu said, "When my uncle and aunt come to see you tomorrow, you should take the initiative to admit your mistake."

“I’m your grandfather, their father. Why should I admit my mistake? What did I do wrong?” Old Jiang was concerned about his reputation, and he became agitated upon hearing his grandson’s words.

Jiangsu said, "You don't know, all the servants in our family are definitely misunderstanding my aunt. When my uncle left just now, his expression was very frightening. He'll definitely scold my aunt when he gets home. But she's innocent. It's all your fault for doing this secretly."

"I... well, all of you get out of here!" Old Jiang finally snapped, angrily shooing them away. He muttered to the family of three, his face stern, "You're so annoying! Get out, all of you! Bring me the butler, and then you can all leave."

Jiangsu: "Hey, you won't even let me say anything to you, Grandpa. You've set a bad example for me. I won't apologize for anything I do wrong in the future." "You dare!"

Old Jiang now wishes he could take his cane and give his grandson a good beating.

Mayor Jiang saw that his father's temper was flaring up, and since he was currently a patient, he didn't want his father to get angry again, as it would be detrimental to his recovery.

"Xiao Su, take your mother out first. Let your grandfather get a good night's sleep tonight."

Wei Aihua: "Husband, I'll stay here with you."

Mayor Jiang patted his wife on the shoulder and whispered something in her ear. Wei Aihua understood and obediently got up, grabbing her agitated son and leaving the ward.

"Mom, what are you doing? My grandpa is such a stubborn old man, I have to talk to him." Jiangsu was still a little regretful about being dragged into this.

Remembering her husband's earlier instructions, Wei Aihua asked her son, "When your uncle left just now, did he look really unwell?"

Jiangsu nodded and said seriously, "I asked him if he would beat Gu Nuannuan when he got home, but my uncle didn't answer me and just left with Gu Nuannuan."

Wei Aihua imagined Jiang Chenyu with a dark face, grabbing his sister-in-law's hand and trembling as he led her home, then locking the door and beating Gu Nuannuan inside.

Then Gu Nuannuan was beaten by the man until she was covered in bruises. The little girl was crying, and it was heartbreaking to see.

Wei Aihua had witnessed her brother-in-law beating his son, and the blows were truly brutal. Furthermore, she and Jiang Chenyu had never lived together, and they rarely spoke more than a hundred words a year. Therefore, she didn't know much about Jiang Chenyu's character, only guessing that he had violent tendencies and that he was quite ruthless.

The more Wei Aihua thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

What if something bad happens to the Gu family's daughter? The Gu family loves their daughter so much. If they knew she had suffered such injustice in the Jiang family, how could they let it go?

She took out her phone and quickly called her brother-in-law.

The Jiang family's old house.

Gu Nuannuan was held in the man's arms again. She said in her soft voice, "Honey, I'm hot~"
