Because Jian Dan had forgotten about her injured foot, she stretched and accidentally pulled her injured ankle, âhiss~â
âDoes it hurt? Why are you always so careless!â Chu Liyuan got up to check Jian Danâs ankle.
âItâs much better, not so painful anymore!â
âHmm! It does seem to be less swollen!â Chu Liyuan carefully placed Jian Danâs foot on his leg, took the ointment Sizhe had left the day before, and gently applied it to the sore spot, gently massaging with his fingers.
âUncle, why am I so blessed? To have a husband like you!â Jian Dan smiled sweetly at Chu Liyuan as she spoke.
âGood that you know, now try not to upset me in the future!â
âWhen have I ever upset you, Uncle?â
âRight now, you are being careless! How can I not be angry when you hurt yourself?â
âOh! I will be more careful in the future!â
âLetâs go!â He sat down in front of Jian Dan.
âWhat for?â
âHow can you walk with your foot like that? Iâll carry you on my back!â
âOh!â Jian Dan giggled and climbed onto Chu Liyuanâs back.
Chu Liyuan, with Jian Dan on his back, crouched down to pick up the slippers from the floor and put them on her feet.
As soon as the two reached the dining roomâ¦
âMom, what happened to you?â The four children virtually asked at the same time.
The childrenâs reaction made Jian Danâs heart fill with sweetness.
âMomâs fine, just twisted her ankle by accident, it will get better in a few days!â Jian Dan comforted them.
âMom, why are you so careless? It breaks Qian Leleâs heart to see you like this!â Qian Lele moved closer to Jian Dan.
âDonât worry, Qian Lele, mom will get better really quick!â
âDaxin, youâre already so grown-up, how can you still twist your ankle?â Jian Xiaokai spoke like an adult.
âMom, does it hurt?â
âKnowing youâre clumsy, you should be more careful in the future!â Though it was a comment filled with concern, it was expressed in a cold mannerâthatâs just Kuaikuai!
âYou shouldnât go to the parent-teacher meeting this afternoon, Daxin!â Jian Xiaokai started, frowning.
âItâs okay, Iâve asked the doctor already. I can go in a wheelchair!â
âAre you really okay, mom?â Xiaoxin also spoke, worried.
âYes!â After breakfast, Xiaoxin and Jian Xiaokai went off to school, and even Qian Lele was very sensible and didnât demand to be carried by Jian Dan!
Chu Liyuan didnât go to the office today but decided to stay at home to accompany Jian Dan. In the afternoon, he went to the school with herâ¦
Nowadays, children start to develop a sense of competition at a very young age, especially in an aristocratsâ school like this one.
Parent-teacher meetings are a perfect opportunity to show off oneâs parents!
âMy dad is a big star, heâs super, super handsome!â
âSo what if heâs handsome? My dad is a big boss, he owns many companies!â a chubby boy said.
âMy dad also owns a company, and my mom is a celebrity!â a little girl chimed in.
âThatâs my mom over there, isnât she pretty?â
âMy dad is the handsomest!â
Jian Xiaokai shook his head helplessly, watching the immature exchange.
Seeing Jian Xiaokaiâs reaction, the others cornered him, âWhat did that face you just made mean?â
âNothing, just that I think you all are very childish!â Jian Xiaokai crossed his arms and retorted.
âWho are you to call us childish? Donât think you can judge others just because you have good grades! Let me tell you, when we grow up, it still comes down to family background. Weâve been ahead from the start, and even if you do well in studies, you wonât be able to catch up!â
âHeh~â Jian Xiaokai couldnât be bothered to engage with them and tried to bypass them, but they were relentless.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you trying to run away because we hit the nail on the head?â Jian Xiaokai had never bragged about his parents at school, so many classmates thought his parents must be very ordinary, and thatâs why he was reluctant to talk about them.
