After the bidding project ended, Li Ruo felt much more relaxed. Taking advantage of the reduced workload, she took some time to go to the hospital to take care of Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luochu is unable to undergo surgery for the time being due to low blood pressure. Fortunately, after several days of recuperation, her body is no longer as weak as it was last time.
Although I still feel weak and listless, at least I can sit up and eat.
This made Li Ruo very happy, so she kept talking to her.
"Mom, have an orange."
"Mom, have some water."
"Mom, are you feeling stuffy? I'll open the window."
However, seeing Li Ruo busy taking care of him, Jiang Luo felt very guilty.
"Mom, you..."
Just as Li Ruo was about to speak again to help her stretch her legs, Jiang Luochu finally couldn't help but say, "Alright, Ruo Ruo, you've been busy all day since you arrived, take a break."
But Li Ruo was enjoying it immensely, shaking her head without hesitation and saying, "I'm not tired."
As long as Jiang Luochu is alright, she's willing to do anything.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Luochu couldn't help but frown and sigh: "Sigh, you're always like this, always putting others first and never thinking about yourself. You'll suffer because of this, you know? Remember, from now on you have to put yourself first and take good care of yourself, okay?"
After saying that, she frowned and whispered, afraid that Li Ruo might not understand, "If I'm not here one day, please remember to take good care of yourself."
Hearing this, Li Ruo felt a pang of sadness.
Jiang Luochu wasn't a talkative person, so her saying this clearly showed that she realized her situation wasn't good.
Fearing that something might really happen to her, Li Ruo immediately shook her head anxiously, "No, Mom, you'll definitely live to be a hundred. Just focus on getting better now and don't worry about anything!"
As she spoke, she threw herself into Jiang Luochu's arms and hugged him tightly.
Although she was only an adoptive mother, Jiang Luo treated her more like her own daughter.
She couldn't accept the other person leaving, and couldn't even mention it.
Her tearful voice suddenly reached Jiang Ze's ears as he returned from buying food.
Hearing the girl's frightened sobs, he paused, a ripple of emotion appearing in his eyes.
...
After this incident, Li Ruo became even more worried about Jiang Luochu.
Almost every day, I rush to the hospital as soon as I get off work, and by the time I get home, it's already past midnight.
Exhausted, she took a quick shower and fell asleep as soon as she got back, without exchanging a single word with Wen Huaiyan.
Little did she know that every night, as the man gazed at her sleeping face, his eyes gleamed with lust.
Five days... the two of them haven't had a proper conversation for five days!
I have no idea what this woman is doing.
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, he sent a message to Li Ruo the next day before he even got off work.
"I'll be home for dinner tonight."
Li Ruo was slightly taken aback upon receiving the text message, and was even a little shocked.
If she remembered correctly, this seemed to be the first time Wen Huaiyan had taken the initiative to send her a message since they started dating.
You see, normally this man would just call her and order her to meet him if he needed anything.
Seeing this text message unexpectedly made Li Ruo feel a little happy.
But thinking about how she still had to go to the hospital to take care of Jiang Luo that night, she pursed her lips and quickly typed: "Don't wait for me, I have some things to do tonight and I'll be back late."
But as soon as the text message was sent, the other end replied with two words: "No."
This clearly didn't give her a chance to refuse.
"How can this person be so domineering?" Li Ruo muttered, frowning slightly in exasperation.
Before I could react, another message came in.
"Come to my office."
What?
Li Ruo subconsciously glanced around the office area, and when she found Wen Zhi was still there, she felt a little uneasy.
After all, she usually kept her distance from Wen Huaiyan. There was no work to report or hand over at the moment. If she went there rashly, wouldn't she just be caught red-handed by this woman?
Who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause then?
That won't do!
Thinking of this, Li Ruo's expression changed, and she hurriedly sent a text message: "Whatever it is, we can talk about it after get off work."
She thought she had spoken very carefully, but little did she know that Wen Huaiyan's face darkened suddenly after receiving the message.
This woman is really bold; she even dares to refuse him now?
But when she thought of how pitifully she cried in bed that night, she couldn't vent her anger.
He frowned, and suddenly remembered the housekeeper's nagging from yesterday. His eyes flashed slightly, and an idea suddenly came to him.
"You haven't been home for dinner for several days. Your housekeeper thought it was because you didn't like her cooking, so she specially cooked a table full of your favorite dishes for you today. If you don't go home, she'll probably start to overthink things."
A housekeeper?
He, with his icy demeanor, actually pays attention to the housekeeper's emotions?
Li Ruo was clearly somewhat skeptical.
But remembering the disappointment in the housekeeper's tone when she called her earlier, Li Ruo hesitated for a moment, then relented and said, "Okay, I'll go back."
