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

Chapter 95 Gu Nuannuan's Words

Wei Aihua asked, "Nuan Nuan, what's wrong?"

Gu Nuannuan's lips twitched, and she explained the misunderstanding from that morning with embarrassment, "...Neither my husband nor I remembered it at the time."

Old Jiang continued, "She also planned to have me give her another acupuncture treatment..."

After Old Jiang finished speaking excitedly, Wei Aihua also felt it was unreliable. "Your older brother and I have rested enough today. We'll stay here tonight, and you and Chen Yu can go back and rest."

"Sister-in-law, please don't try to persuade us to leave. Chen Yu and I will stay at the hospital with Dad today, as we agreed." Gu Nuannuan couldn't bear to think of the bloodshot eyes in her sister-in-law's eyes that morning.

Last night was the most exhausting. My father-in-law was on an IV drip and needed someone to take care of him the whole time. My older brother's family had been staying with him at the hospital the whole time, but I absolutely cannot let them stay overnight at the hospital tonight.

Old Jiang hurriedly waved his hand to shoo away the couple from his second son's family, saying, "Nuan Nuan, Dad knows you're filial. You and Chen Yu can go back now. Your heartfelt wishes are enough; you don't need to be there in person."

Gu Nuannuan's attitude was firm, "That won't do! Sincerity is too intangible. My husband and I need to make you genuinely feel the filial piety your children have for you."

Besides, you have two sons. You can't expect my older brother and sister-in-law's family to do everything for you, can you? Those who know you understand that you and your sister-in-law have a deep, father-daughter-like relationship. Those who don't know you might think you're biased, that you only know how to exploit your eldest brother's family when you're sick. Where does that leave me and Chen Yu's dignity?

"I'm your new wife, after all. I need to maintain my reputation, and I also want a relationship with you as deep as that of a father and daughter."

Gu Nuannuan's words brought smiles to everyone's faces in the room. Despite her simple words, they pleased Mayor Jiang, making him realize that his second son was willing to share the burden of his father's illness.

Wei Aihua felt warm inside when she heard this. Gu Nuannuan said that her father-in-law treated her like a father and daughter, which strengthened the bond between them.

Jiang Chenyu smiled; his wife had spoken his mind.

Old Jiang was the happiest.

With just a few words, the family was free from conflict between sisters-in-law and resentment between brothers. It also earned the old man a reputation for treating his eldest daughter-in-law like a father and daughter, and gave him a great deal of face.

If she were to be rejected after saying this, then it would truly be unacceptable.

Old Jiang said casually, "Chen Yu is busy."

Gu Nuannuan answered for her husband, "He's not busy as long as he takes care of his father. What's more important than the company than his father?"

"Alright, alright, I can't argue with you. If you want to stay, then stay. Your older brother and sister-in-law were indeed exhausted last night."

Gu Nuannuan succeeded and winked at her husband.

Jiang Chenyu smiled helplessly, but his smile was also filled with deep affection. His little wife was doing things that were more and more to his liking.

Mayor Jiang and Wei Aihua sat there for a long time. Old Jiang took the initiative to steer the conversation toward his second daughter-in-law. "Our family has never had someone like her before. She's all talk and no one can out-argue her. Gao Rou'er even suffered at her hands today."

Wei Aihua immediately became interested and asked Gu Nuannuan, "What did you do to her?"

"I slapped her twice," she said casually.

"Are you alright?" Wei Aihua asked.

Gu Nuannuan shook her head, "My husband and Dad are with me, I'm sure I'll be fine, she wouldn't dare to fight back."

Wei Aihua still felt that her sister-in-law had a somewhat impatient temper.

"Sister-in-law, I'm actually quite gentle." "Oh." She didn't believe him!

"Don't you believe me? My husband always says I'm his cat."

Jiang Chenyu chuckled and teased his wife, "A stray cat's scratch hurts the most."

"Husband~" Gu Nuannuan couldn't argue with him, so she resorted to coquettishness.

Jiang Chenyu: "I didn't say this to outsiders this time."

Gu Nuannuan nudged her husband's shoulder, "You bad guy."

The ward was filled with joy and laughter.

It was getting late, and Wei Aihua and her husband left the hospital.

In the end, only three people remained in the ward.

Gu Nuannuan clicked her tongue at her father-in-law's lingering gaze, "Dad, stop watching, my sister-in-law won't come back even if you keep watching."

“I didn’t say to have your sister-in-law come back.” This was the first time he had spent so much time with his second son, and he felt awkward about everything.

Gu Nuannuan, being observant, noticed the subtle tension between her husband and father-in-law. She swallowed hard, her dark, stone-like eyes darting around, a wicked idea forming in her mind.

"Dad, husband, wait for me a moment."

"What?"

After Jiang Chenyu finished asking his question, his little wife had already disappeared.

When she returned, Gu Nuannuan was holding a deck of cards, some snacks, and... "Who did you buy the beer for?" Jiang Chenyu asked seriously.

Gu Nuannuan stuck out her tongue and said sweetly, "I bought it for my husband." She just bought two cans for herself as well.

Jiang Chenyu instantly lost his temper again.

"what is this?"

"Let's play cards. How can we not have some fun on such a long night?" Gu Nuannuan said, placing the snacks she had bought on the hospital bed and pulling two stools on either side of the bed for herself and her husband to sit on.

"Honey, come here quickly." Jiang Chenyu sat down. "What are we playing?"

He thought his wife wanted to play some high-stakes card games, but to his surprise, she said, "How about playing Dou Dizhu, or drawing turtles, or maybe catching little ghosts?"

Mr. Jiang: "..."

He coughed lightly and asked his wife, "Have you ever been to a casino?"

"On the ground or underneath? Boxing or sword fighting?" Gu Nuannuan blurted out immediately.

President Jiang raised an eyebrow. "You've been there?"

Oh no, we're about to be exposed!

Gu Nuannuan immediately bit her lip, "Uh, I've seen it on TV, but I haven't been there."

Jiang Chenyu's eyes held a probing look. "Have you ever been to a casino where you play cards?"

Gu Nuannuan shook her head honestly, "My dad won't let me go." "Yes, Dad is right." His young wife is still a child, how can a child go to a place like that?

He took out a deck of cards and looked at his father, asking, "Do you know how to play Dou Dizhu?" As for his wife's mention of drawing turtles or catching little ghosts, he had never heard of it before.

When Old Jiang saw the deck of cards, he instantly perked up and was filled with fighting spirit. "Of course I can. When I was young, no one could beat me."

He rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work.

"Nuan Nuan, tell me about the rewards for winning or losing."

Jiang Laodao.

Gu Nuannuan frowned and pondered, thinking that she couldn't gamble with money; she would feel the pinch if she lost.

"Dad, let's play stickers! The winner puts a sticker on the loser's face," Gu Nuannuan said.

Old Jiang wasn't satisfied and looked disgusted. "We all gamble with money. This is so boring." Gu Nuannuan retorted, "We're all family. Whether we win or lose, the money still goes into our own pockets. Gambling with money is the only boring thing."

"Just say you're poor," Old Jiang said ruthlessly, exposing his daughter-in-law's lie.

Gu Nuannuan made a face at Old Jiang, "You just wait, Dad. Once my husband opens a special account for me as a CEO's wife, see if I dare to shower you with money."

Jiang Chenyu was shuffling the cards, listening to the two people's chatter, and he felt a peace he had never known before.

Life is perhaps like this: in peaceful days, we chat idly and talk about everyday things.

On a midsummer night, the lights are on inside the house, and family members gather around, playing games to strengthen their bonds.

Less cell phone use, more fun, and more companionship.
