Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2646: 2582: Because I'm Cute

The arrival of Zhu Shun has placed him directly under Boss Du's command, a situation that couldn't be more advantageous.

“Because I'm adorable,” Chiang Xiao declared.

Cheng Cheng couldn't suppress a burst of laughter.

While being called beautiful might be a fair assessment, adorable?

Given her temperament, prone to reacting impulsively, who would truly consider her adorable?

Even he found her formidable and fierce, far from adorable.

“Don’t you think so?” Chiang Xiao pressed slightly.

Cheng Cheng chuckled again. “Yes, yes, yes, who would dare suggest you aren't adorable?”

After a period of conversation, Chiang Xiao made a call back to City M, conveying a few words to Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao, and only ended the call after confirming their well-being.

Regarding the matter of her not being Chen Zhu’s biological daughter, if Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao encountered no significant difficulties and did not bring up Chen Zhu, she would opt to keep it from them.

However, should they eventually raise the subject, she resolved to reveal the truth.

Another two hours elapsed before the phone finally rang.

It was Sun Han on the line.

The moment she heard his voice, Chiang Xiao's heart gave a sudden lurch.

Sun Han’s voice was hoarse and deep, distinctly different from its usual tone.

If nothing were amiss, would he sound like this after only a single afternoon?

Chiang Xiao immediately inquired, “What has happened?”

Something significant must have transpired!

“Where is my father?”

Sun Han responded, “Xiao Chiang, something occurred this afternoon; Doctor Chen is currently attending to the Sixth Young Master…”

“Grandpa Chen?”

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

“What has happened to him? Is he injured? Is it serious?”

She abruptly stood from her seat.

Sun Han quickly reassured her, “He merely caught a cold and has a fever; it shouldn’t be serious.”

A cold and fever?

He was unwell?

She had assumed something dire had occurred.

“Is it because he got caught in the rain this afternoon? I heard there was a rainstorm in D State.”

Before Chiang Xiao could fully process this, Sun Han continued, “He was exposed to the rain and submerged in the sea for nearly an hour.”

He had not anticipated that the Sixth Young Master would develop a fever after disembarking from the boat.

Perhaps his body had not yet fully recuperated from the major surgery he recently underwent?

This thought filled him with guilt; in any case, he had not exercised sufficient caution, and he felt he had failed Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao’s heart pounded, and she took a deep breath, endeavoring to compose herself.

“How did he end up immersed in the sea for an hour? Tell me everything that transpired.”

While Sun Han was conversing with Chiang Xiao on the phone, within Jiang Shiheng’s bedroom, Old Master Jiang observed as Chen Baoshen released Jiang Shiheng’s wrist and then inquired, “Doctor Chen, how is he?”

“He has merely caught a chill, nothing serious; a dose of medicine should suffice,” Chen Baoshen stated, his gaze lingering on Jiang Shiheng’s somewhat pale countenance as he sighed softly.

How long had it been since the craniotomy?

Submerged in the sea and swimming for an hour. For anyone else, this would likely be grave, yet Sixth Young Master Jiang only suffered a cold and fever; it appeared Chiang Xiao’s potion had been effective.

However, for the sake of the young lady, he decided not to mention it.

Furthermore, he surmised that the Sixth Young Master was likely aware of this himself.

Old Master Jiang let out a breath of relief and instructed Jiang Qiuyan, “Qiuyan, escort Doctor Chen back and prepare the medicine.”

“Understood.” Jiang Qiuyan escorted Chen Baoshen out.

Only Jiang Liu and Old Master Jiang remained in the room.

After a moment of silence, Sixth Young Master Jiang turned to Old Master Jiang and asked, “Grandpa, do you trust me?”

“You are my grandson, naturally I trust you. Why would I place my trust in outsiders?”
