BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 - 142: King Yu reports to his father- in-law?
Jiang Ning approached him: “Let’s go.”
“Are you willing to leave now?”
“Yes, because I’m full.”
Li Hongyuan asked a passing servant, “Has the Prime Minister returned?”
“Your Highness, the Old Master has just returned.”
“Take me to see him.”
“…Yes.” The servant glanced at Seventh Miss, and seeing that she had no reaction, lowered his head and led Li Hongyuan away.
He didn’t demand that she go with him, so Jiang Ning was happy to relax and let Huang Ying push her out to the carriage.
Who would have thought that as soon as she climbed into the carriage, the housekeeper would come to call her back: “Seventh Miss, the Old Master asks you to return.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I don’t know the specifics.” The housekeeper looked at her expectantly.
Jiang Ning reluctantly helped Huang Ying get off the carriage and went to the study to see Jiang Ruobai.
On the way, she met Li Hongyuan, who had a cold face and ignored her, walking straight past her.
It was inexplicable.
When did she provoke him again?
He went to see Jiang Ruobai and then Jiang Ruobai immediately summoned her. Was it to file a complaint?
When she arrived in the study, Jiang Ruobai was holding his large tea cup and was happily sipping. Seeing his daughter coming in, he hurriedly put down the tea cup, took over from Huang Ying and personally pushed her into the room.
Huang Ying consciously guarded the door outside.
“Dad, why did you suddenly call me back?”
“Come, Dad has something good for you.”
Jiang Ruobai stopped her wheelchair next to the table, took out a paper-wrapped package from his pocket, handed it to her like a treasure: “My dear daughter, you like sour dates, right? This is a Mid-Autumn Festival tribute for the palace. Dad specially found some for you. Try one. If you like it, I’ll get more for you.”
Jiang Ning was startled.
She didn’t expect Jiang Ruobai to not criticize her, but to give her a snack.
When Jiang Ning was little, she used to imagine countless times that her dad could be like other people’s dads, bringing her a little snack or a small toy when he came back from a trip or work, giving her the gentlest surprise.
Unfortunately, her so-called father followed another woman when she was two years old.
A few years later, her mother was gone as well, leaving the young her to live with her elderly grandparents.
Fortunately, her grandparents gave her all their love.
Although they both passed away the year she was admitted to college.
But their love kept Jiang Ning warm, and she bravely moved forward.
That’s why Jiang Ning always felt a nameless closeness to older people, which caused her to be unable to ignore Old Man Li when she saw him collapsed on the ground.
Although she lost her parents early, she was not short of love.
It’s just that she was a little obsessed with parental love.
At this moment, with Jiang Ruobai holding the sour dates and trying to please his little daughter, the image perfectly matched that of the father in her imagination.
“Take it.” Jiang Ruobai put the paper bag in her hand and looked at her expectantly.
Jiang Ning lowered her head, forced back the tears in her eyes, opened the package, picked up a date, and took a bite.
Sweet with a hint of sourness.
Just to her taste.
“Is it good?” Jiang Ruobai asked.
“Yes,” Jiang Ning nodded. “It’s very good.”
Jiang Ruobai smiled.
He looked very happy and satisfied.
Jiang Ning knew that he had always felt guilty for losing her as a child. Now that he had found her, he tried his best to spoil her.
She was selfish and wanted to take all this fatherly love.
Jiang Ruobai said, “Although it’s delicious, you can’t eat too many at once. It’s bad for the teeth. Dad heard the Imperial Physician say that pregnant women especially need to pay attention to their dental health..”
