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

Chapter 87 Buying Snacks for My Little Wife

Wei Aihua was dozing lightly, her hand supporting her forehead. Gu Nuannuan gently patted Wei Aihua's shoulder and softly called out, "Sister-in-law."

When Wei Aihua woke up and saw the couple, she asked, "Why are you here so early?"

Gu Nuannuan placed the food on the table and sat down next to Wei Aihua. "Chen Yu and I came a little earlier. You and your older brother can take Xiao Su home and catch up on some sleep."

"We're fine."

Wei Aihua glanced at her brother-in-law and Gu Nuannuan. She secretly checked Gu Nuannuan's arms and legs and found that they were fair and tender without any problems, which put Wei Aihua at ease.

Gu Nuannuan noticed her subtle movements and smiled.

This sister-in-law is so adorable when she's being cute. "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Chen Yu really didn't hit me. He can't beat me."

Wei Aihua felt relieved and said, "I was just dreaming that you and Chen Yu couldn't make it work."

“Dreams and reality are opposites,” Gu Nuannuan said.

From the moment he entered the room, Jiang Chenyu's gaze was always fixed on the old man on the bed, but he was unwilling to ask any questions.

As a wife, Gu Nuannuan understood her husband's concern, so she took the initiative to ask, "Brother and sister-in-law, how was Dad last night?"

Wei Aihua explained, "The IV drip stopped the pain, but in the middle of the night the pain became unbearable, so I called the doctor and got an injection before I could fall asleep."

Jiang Chenyu glanced at his little wife.

Some words of concern were in his heart, but he couldn't say them aloud, yet she spoke them for him. "Then let's not wake Dad up yet. You and your older brother go home and rest. Chenyu and I will stay here and take care of things if anything happens." Wei Aihua refused, "You and Jiangsu are still children, you don't know how to take care of people. Chenyu is busy all day long, he's not the type to take care of people either. Neither of you knows how to do anything, you should just go home."

Gu Nuannuan shook her head, "How can that be? The responsibility of taking care of Dad when he is sick cannot fall on you and my older brother. Chen Yu and I are also Dad's children, and we have an obligation to take care of him. Although I may be inexperienced, it is daytime now and there are many nurses. If I don't know what to do, I can ask a nurse."

Wei Aihua persisted, but Gu Nuannuan firmly rejected Wei Aihua's offer.

Jiang Chenyu also spoke up to Mayor Jiang, who was standing beside him, saying, "Brother, why don't you take your wife home? You two can't stay up all night. Dad has two sons, not just you. Nuannuan and I can take care of him."

Mayor Jiang glanced at his tired wife and nodded at the end.

Mayor Jiang took his wife home, and when they went outside, they found Jiangsu sitting in a chair, sleeping with his head against the wall.

The couple felt sorry for their son, saying, "Xiao Su, come home with your parents and sleep there."

Jiangsu experienced a moment of hysteria, and when he woke up, he went home with his parents.

Only the couple were in the ward.

Because of Mr. Jiang's distinguished status, the doctor was his special caregiver and was only responsible for him as a patient, so there was no such thing as ward rounds in the morning.

The doctor came into the ward once and found him sleeping, so he left again.

Jiang Chenyu followed the doctor out the door. Before leaving, he told his wife, "Xiaonuan, call me when Dad wakes up. You don't know how to take care of people, so I'll take care of him."

Gu Nuannuan pouted, "Honey~ I can learn how to take care of people, you're making me lose face by saying that in front of the doctor."

President Jiang smiled indulgently, watching the doctor's departing figure as he said, "I only told you this after the doctor left. It's not shameful; only your husband knows."

After saying that, he closed the door and caught up with the doctor to inquire about his father's condition. Gu Nuannuan spent the time alone in the room.

She stood up, and out of sheer boredom, she went to look at and touch all the flowers and plants around her.

Perhaps knowing his wife might be bored, Jiang Chenyu returned carrying two bags of snacks, all of which were things children love to eat.

Gu Nuannuan looked at his hand, "Honey, who did you buy this for?"

Jiang Chenyu said, "I won't eat, Dad can't eat, so who else is in this room?"

A smile instantly spread across Gu Nuannuan's face. She quickly took the snacks from Jiang Chenyu's hand and looked at her husband with a beaming smile. "Honey, thank you."

Gu Nuannuan could already picture her husband in a suit standing in front of the supermarket shelves, picking out snacks for her.

Besides expressing her gratitude, she also longs to kiss her husband.

But she was too shy to do so. Jiang Chenyu rubbed the back of her head and went inside to sit on the sofa.

"Honey, what did the doctor tell you?"

Jiang Chenyu: "It's nothing. His condition is acute, and he's also quite old, which is why he was hospitalized."

Gu Nuannuan nodded, opened a bag of potato chips, and started eating.

The only sound in the quiet room was the crunching of his wife eating potato chips.

Jiang Chenyu turned to the side and looked at his wife eating snacks.

One pack, two packs, three packs. Then I switched to another pack and ate another one…

Jiang Chenyu watched her eat for almost an hour.

"Xiao Nuan, did you eat enough for breakfast?"

"I'm full," Gu Nuannuan replied.

Then, looking at the snacks on the table, so many empty bags, she awkwardly stuck out her tongue, "Snacks are just puffed foods. They look like they have big packaging, but there's not much in them, they don't fill you up."

Jiang Chenyu smiled, not exposing his wife's little quirk of loving snacks.

A short while later, Old Jiang woke up in bed.

The couple quickly got up and went to his side. "Dad, how are you feeling?"

Old Jiang turned his head left and right and saw the couple. He asked, "What brings you two here?"

“We’ve come to switch shifts,” Gu Nuannuan replied.

Old Jiang sat up in bed; he was still very weak.

Jiang Chenyu poured his father a glass of water and offered him a drink.

Just then, the nurse started giving her an IV drip.

Gu Nuannuan immediately made room for him. She couldn't bear to watch the needle pierce her flesh. Gu Nuannuan then hid behind her husband, like a little kitten being hidden away.

"Mr. Jiang, you also have five bottles of medicine today. Last night, we found out that your blood pressure was a bit high, so there's also blood pressure medication in them today. Call us when you finish the infusion, and we'll come and change your medication."

Old Jiang nodded.

Gu Nuannuan peeked out from behind her husband and saw that the nurse had already given her the injection. She then jumped out from behind her husband again.

As the nurse was leaving, she noticed bags of snacks on the coffee table. "President Jiang, these patients can't eat them."

Jiang Chenyu looked at the empty packaging his wife had eaten and nodded, "I bought this for my wife to pass the time."

The nurse glanced enviously at Gu Nuannuan, who was nestled beside Jiang Chenyu, and then left.

In less than an hour, everyone at the nurses' station knew that the aloof President Jiang had bought snacks for his young wife to pass the time.

When Gu Nuannuan went out to get water, she could still feel the nurses secretly watching her.

She returned to the ward and told her husband, "Honey, go out and get some water later—everyone's staring at me." Jiang Chenyu asked, "What are they going to look at you for?"

"They all say in private that you're good to me, that you buy me snacks, and that you're different from the people on TV," Gu Nuannuan told her husband what she had overheard.

President Jiang's lips curled slightly. "Isn't that good?"
