“Is that all I need?”
Cui Jiangjing thought it over, “If you’re really not at ease, you can also give her a painkiller. But at this hour, you won’t be able to buy any painkillers! You do have that kind you usually use for headaches, but that’s a narcotic, and it has side effects. It’d be better to give her some brown sugar ginger tea and to massage her belly. It’s more effective and won’t have any side effects.”
Li Shengxiao silently memorized the brown sugar ginger water and the hot water bag he mentioned. After jotting it down in his mind, he didn’t hesitate to say to the person on the other end of the phone, “Hanging up.”
“Hold on.” Cui Jiangjing was completely awake before he could hang up, his mind finally catching on, and he asked in disbelief, “You woke me up in the middle of the night not to tell me you agree to my cooperation plan, but to ask me what to do about Rong Yan’s menstrual cramps, right?”
Just for ordinary menstrual cramps, he actually woke himself up and readily agreed to a cooperation project worth several hundred million.
What kind of spoiling is this?
He had seen men dote on their wives, on their mistresses, but he had never seen spoiling like Li Shengxiao’s!
Isn’t this what you call being doted on to the extreme?
Li Shengxiao had no intention of dealing with him. After hearing him out, without admitting or denying anything, he coldly replied with two words, “Hanging up.”
Without pausing for a second, he hung up on Cui Jiangjing.
Leaving the man he had woken up alone in the room to go crazy!
…
After hanging up the phone, he quickly returned to the bedside. Rong Yan was still sweating profusely and looked pale and flushed with sickness as she curled up in a corner.
He clenched his hand firmly and went downstairs.
The kitchen made clinking and clanking noises in the middle of the night. Fortunately, it was so late that the servants had all gone back to their rooms to sleep, otherwise anyone who didn’t know better might think the kitchen was going to explode.
A small pot simmering with fruit tea was on the induction cooker. The man with a frown looked as if he was struggling with a tough problem as he threw in big chunks of brown sugar, jujubes, and ginger.
Once the water in the fruit tea pot boiled, he poured a small cup to try. Then, with a darkened handsome face, he dumped all the brown sugar, ginger, and jujube water from the teapot into the trash can.
In less than an hour, the trash can was filled with many failed attempts.
It wasn’t until the fifth try that the color of the brown sugar water was normal, not too sweet, nor too bland, and the taste of ginger was present. Li Shengxiao poured out a big half bowl, waited for the temperature to be right, and then carefully carried the bowl of brown sugar ginger tea up to the bedroom on the second floor…
“Mmm.” Just as he was halfway there, Li Duidui’s door opened, and a boy in a Bears Out pajama rubbed his eyes as he came out of the room, looking curiously at the bowl in his hand, “What’s that, for mommy to drink?”
Li Shengxiao lifted the bowl higher, so he couldn’t see clearly inside, and calmly told the little one who had been woken up, “No.”
“…” Li Duidui, sleepy-eyed, clearly wore an expression of disbelief and suspicion on his little face.
“Go back to sleep early if you want to remember to have breakfast on time tomorrow morning.”
Li Duidui pouted, unhappy to be rushed by him. But thinking of the need to get up early the next morning to catch breakfast with mommy, although reluctant, he still held the door and sleepily said, “Goodnight.”
The big meanie is so busy, going to bed this late. Mommy said you need to be a child who knows gratitude. The big meanie is providing for him, so he has to have a grateful heart.
