Chapter 054 Is this person sick?

The boy ate five pieces of osmanthus cake in a row and finally couldn't eat any more.

Ruan Qinghuan poured a glass of water: "Drink some water, and I'll cook meat for you at dinner later."

"Meat...eat meat..."

The little guy was dancing with joy, but Ruan Qinghuan felt very upset. If she hadn't met this child today, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.

Under the disaster, people's lives are extremely difficult. Even if we feel sympathy, we are powerless to do anything about it.

Their lives will only get better if the dams are built firmly and they no longer have to worry about floods.

Xia Lian asked someone to bring some hot water. Ruan Qinghuan clapped her hands, and the boy reached out to her and put her in the basin to play with her.

Looking at the muddy water in front of the young lady, Xia Lian hurriedly said, "How did you get into this state, young lady? Change your clothes quickly and I'll wash them."

Ruan Qinghuan then noticed the stains on her body, which must have been caused when she was holding the child, but she was not in a hurry to change: "How is the injured person?"

Xia Lian: "I feel much better now. I got out of bed today."

"Ahem..." He An, who was completely ignored, finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You go down first."

Seeing this, Xia Lian glanced at the young lady, turned around and went out, closing the door.

Seeing that he looked a little unhappy, Ruan Qinghuan wondered, "Why do you look like that, sir? Is it because of the dike issue?"

He An frowned. Did she really not know that he was worried about her?

The relationships among all parties in Lucheng are complicated, and they have to be on guard as they have just arrived here.

She was good. She didn't even leave a note when she went out, and she was gone for the whole afternoon, and she came back when it was dark. When she came back, her heart and eyes were filled with this child who came from nowhere, and he became a decoration.

"Where did the lady go this afternoon?"

Ruan Qinghuan came to the clothes rack and replied while unbuttoning her dress: "I was just strolling around with Chu Li."

He An: “…”

In the flickering candlelight, Ruan Qinghuan naturally took off her outer shirt, and then her inner dress, until she was left with only a simple dress, and she still wanted to take it off.

"Ruan Qinghuan." He'an suddenly called her name loudly. Ruan Qinghuan was startled and turned back angrily.

"Why are you so startled, sir?"

He An looked at the child playing with water in the basin and said, "There are outsiders here."

Ruan Qinghuan didn't understand at first. He looked at the outsider he was talking about. A two or three-year-old baby was slapping the water with his hands, giggling with every slap.

Ruan Qinghuan finally came to his senses and was a little amused: "He is just a child, and I just wanted to fasten the belt of my clothes... Is it necessary for you to be so surprised?"

"He is a man."

Ruan Qinghuan: “…”

Is this person sick?

He Ansi did not back down. Seeing that she did not move, she stood up and personally took out a skirt from the wooden box she brought with her, and clumsily helped Ruan Qinghuan put it on.

While saying: "Madam, please be more careful in the future and don't cross the line."

Ruan Qinghuan was so angry that he didn't know what to say, so he repeated again: "He is a child, a young child."

"He is a man."

Well, Ruan Qinghuan finally understood. In He An's eyes, as long as the child was not his, all others would be divided into male and female.

During dinner, He An's brows furrowed deeper as he watched Ruan Qinghuan holding the child, coaxing and feeding the child. He felt that he was being completely ignored.

Wondering why Jiang Heng hasn't come back yet, he asked the child's parents to come and pick him up quickly.

But the news Jiang Heng brought back was that the child's mother had died when he was born, and his father was washed away by the flood when he was building a dike last year and was never found again.

In other words, he became an orphan.

When Ruan Qinghuan heard this, she felt even more fond of the child and handed a chicken leg to him.

Feeling He An's sharp gaze, Ruan Qinghuan discussed with him: "Sir, let's take him back to Beijing."

He An didn't say anything.

"If you don't like him, I will place him in the Ruan Mansion. My mother will definitely like him."

He An was silent for a while: "Let's talk about it later."

Ruan Qinghuan's face turned cold when he heard this. What was his attitude?

After dinner, Ruan Qinghuan took the child back to the room. He An called Jiang Heng and Jiang Chen and asked about Ruan Qinghuan and Chu Li's afternoon schedule and whether there were any suspicious circumstances.

When he heard that she went to Qian's shop, Leng Ning's brows relaxed a little.

The fact that she went to Qian's house, does it mean that she is jealous?

It seems unlikely. When they got married, Liu Yueru stayed in the prime minister's residence, but she never got jealous.

After instructing Jiang Heng and Jiang Chen to be careful and prudent, He An returned to his room.

When he reached the door, he heard humming from the room and He An stopped.

Light tunes, pleasant voices, and patient transcendence...

He'an pushed the door open and came in. Ruan Qinghuan didn't move at all. He just patted the baby who was about to fall asleep. The little guy must be tired. He ate and drank enough, so he was too sleepy to have any energy.

Even though he was about to fall asleep, he still forced himself to keep his eyes open and smiled at Ruan Qinghuan.

"Be good, go to sleep. You've had enough sleep. I'll play with you tomorrow, okay?"

After a while, the little guy really fell asleep.

When she got off the bed, He An asked, "He sleeps here?"

"Ah, he's still so young, he'd be scared to sleep alone."

Babies are always restless when they sleep, and sometimes wake up in the middle of the night. If there is no one to take care of them, they might get scared and cry.

So, Ruan Qinghuan decided to sleep with him.

"What about me?" He An's face turned cold.

Ruan Qinghuan smiled and said, "My Lord, please be magnanimous. The child is so young and has no parents. I have to take care of him. How about letting him stay in the side room for a few days?"

He An: "Let Xia Lian take him over and take care of him."

"Xia Lian is already very tired of taking care of the injured, sir, please?"

"No." She felt sorry for the child, but she couldn't because he and she lived in separate rooms.

Especially when he thought about the time when his mother was coaxed to Changchun Garden so that she could sleep in a separate room from him, He'an always felt that she wanted to use the child as a shield again.

Ruan Qinghuan sighed, "I just brought him home, and he's only familiar with me. Even if I let someone else take care of him, we have to wait until he's familiar with everyone else, right?"

"Sir." Ruan Qinghuan shook his arm coquettishly: "You are the prime minister, you should be more compassionate to the hard-working people. This child has a pitiful life experience, you should feel sorry for him too, right?"

The working people are indeed pitiful, but He'an feels like he has no idea where to start when facing such a young child.

What's more, as soon as he arrived, he stole his wife.

There was a shrewd look in He'an's eyes: "Madam, do you really want to keep him?"

"Of course." Ruan Qinghuan answered without thinking.

The child has no parents and no relatives willing to take him in. If no one takes care of him, he will have trouble surviving.

"Want to take him back to Beijing?" He An asked again.

Ruan Qinghuan frowned, but still nodded, wondering why He'an was talking so much nonsense today.

But then, when He An suddenly held her in his arms, Ruan Qinghuan guessed what bad things he was planning.

He An whispered in her ear: "It all depends on Madam's performance."
