Chapter 1810: Chapter 1335: Can I Ask You a Personal Question?

Hearing Kang Li say that, Ming Han couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. He said, "Can I go to the hospital to see my brother?"

"You have time?"

Kang Li raised an eyebrow, her voice gentle and soothing: "Tomorrow’s Monday, you need to go to school as usual. Where would you find time to run to the hospital? Besides, even if you went, what could you actually do for your big brother? In any case, he’ll be discharged in at most a week, so when he’s home recovering, you’ll have plenty of chances to take care of him as his brother."

After a brief pause, Kang Li continued: "Oh, and for now, don’t tell Grandma and Grandpa about your big brother’s accident, and don’t mention it around Bun and the others either."

Upon hearing this, Ming Han softly replied, "Mm", then asked, "Mom, are you heading to the hospital again?"

"I’m back to get some clean clothes and toiletries for your brother."

Kang Li’s gaze was warm as she said, "For the next week, I probably won’t be able to personally pick up and drop off you and Vivi at school, but don’t worry, I’ve made arrangements—Brother Su will be responsible for picking you two up and dropping you off."

Su Qin is one of the bodyguards Jiang Boya arranged to help Kang Li with picking up and dropping off the kids to and from school at the courtyard house.

Ming Han: "Got it."

"That’s that, then. Hurry back to your room and get some sleep, and remember to lock the courtyard gate." Kang Li reminded.

"Alright."

Ming Han replied.

Kang Li opened the driver’s side car door and got in. "Stop standing at the gate and hurry inside."

Seeing Ming Han still standing there, Kang Li couldn’t help but urge him.

"Mm."

Ming Han nodded and said, "Mom! Drive safely!"

Kang Li: "Mom knows."

She waved her hand, watched Ming Han turn and enter through the gate, waited for the gate to close behind him, then started the car and quickly drove away.

...

Hospital.

Pushing open the ward door, Kang Li carried the things she’d brought from home inside, and closed the door behind her.

"Why aren’t you resting at home?"

Seeing Kang Li come back again after going home, Jiang Boya frowned, the concern in his eyes clear as day. He said, "Don’t think just because you’re young, you can take your body for granted."

"I didn’t do anything strenuous or tiring—just went home to fetch some essentials for Ruirui!"

Kang Li chuckled and put the things she was holding onto the table, then said, "You lie down and get some sleep. I’ll stay here and keep an eye on Ruirui."

Jiang Boya glared: "Do I look old to you? What’s with the honorifics? Why address me so formally?"

He may be nearing fifty, but anyone who sees him would say he looks young—at most thirty-seven or thirty-eight, hardly forty.

Plus, he’s always kept fit, tall and upright, his face smooth and wrinkle-free, not a single grey hair on his head, not to mention his dignified air—he’s every bit a mature, steady, and elegant gentleman.

He’s got nothing to do with the word "old"!

Besides, does a family need honorifics?

And "you", in the formal sense—was she trying to keep him at arm’s length?

Thinking this, Jiang Boya felt a little sour inside, as if his precious daughter wasn’t close enough to him, not as casual as she was with her own parents; maybe he was overthinking it, but his feelings still slipped through.

Kang Li was sensitive and perceptive, and at such close range, she could easily spot his mood shift. Warm-hearted but helpless, she smiled as if coaxing a child: "Dad, my dearest dad, can you not overthink everything? To me, you’re my actual dad, my real family, and I absolutely adore you! Honestly, having such a handsome and wealthy, and young-looking dad makes me feel proud!"

"Is that the truth?"

Jiang Boya was delighted inside, but his eyes betrayed a hint of doubt, clearly not completely convinced.

"Truer than gold and silver!"

Hearing Kang Li say that, Jiang Boya brightened, smiling eyes full of cheer. He asked, "So, who looks younger—me or your husband?"

"..."

Kang Li blinked, pretending to be serious: "Dad, do you want the truth or a lie?"

"Alright, I get it. How could someone almost fifty compete for youthfulness with my son-in-law, who’s in his prime."

Jiang Boya waved it off, preferring not to torture himself. But Kang Li laughed: "Dad, you’re in your prime too! Besides, compared to Luo Yanqing, you’re more mature and steady, and you’ve got even more presence!"

At that, Jiang Boya’s lips twitched ever so slightly, but his expression remained calm. He said, "What presence—nothing much. I’ve just been through more than your son-in-law, that’s all!"

Kang Li’s eyes curved in a smile: "Being modest is a virtue, Dad. You’re my role model."

"You and your sweet talk."

Jiang Boya smiled and glanced at Kang Li, then moved on to Ruirui’s situation: "Ruirui will need to stay in the hospital for at least a week. You’ve got work to do, so tomorrow Xiao Lin will be here to help take care of him, so you won’t be too stressed."

Xiao Lin, full name Lin Xiao, is one of the two caretakers who work with Jiang Hongfa.

The other one is a female caretaker.

In addition to the two caretakers, Jiang Hongfa also has a private doctor who is responsible for his health day-to-day.

"You don’t need to go to all that trouble."

Kang Li said, "I don’t have many classes this week. Plenty of time to come to the hospital and take care of Ruirui."

Jiang Boya: "So you’re not planning to look after any of the other kids at home?"

"My parents are there! Plus, Han and Vivi are big kids now, and with Su Qin and Wang Peng helping out, there’s definitely enough help at home to look after everyone."
