Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1811 - 1335: Can I Ask You a Personal Question? (2)

"You don’t want to use the people Dad arranged—are you trying to draw some boundaries with Dad?"

"Absolutely not. If I really thought that way, how would you explain Su Qin, Wang Peng, and Master Loh?"

Master Loh is the chef Jiang Boya arranged for Kang Li.

"Then listen to me—no arguments."

"Alright."

Kang Li nodded with a smile.

"Once Ruirui is discharged, he’ll stay at the old house to recover. I’ll arrange for a specialist graduation tutor to help fill in any gaps for him. Do you have any objections?"

"I don’t think there’s a need to hire a tutor."

"What are you thinking?"

"Don’t you think that as an all-subject top scorer in the college entrance exam, I’m qualified to help my son fill in the gaps?"

"..."

Jiang Boya fell silent—was that what he meant? He just didn’t want her to wear herself out!

Alas, his precious daughter just doesn’t get his good intentions!

Kang Li deliberately asked, "Dad, am I qualified for the job?"

Jiang Boya said blandly, "If an all-subject top scorer can’t do it, people would just say I’m out of my mind. Besides, now you’re a professor at a top national university—a PhD advisor! Helping a student about to take the college entrance exam is basically using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"

"Dad, I’ll take that as a compliment!"

Kang Li grinned, "Getting praise from my dear dad makes me feel so happy!"

"Alright, enough with the sweet talk. Go lie down and rest a bit—I’ll watch Ruirui."

The ward Min Rui is staying in is one of the hospital’s top-tier rooms, arranged by Jiang Boya when he got to the hospital. Kang Li had no objections.

Not only does it have two beds, but there’s also a private bathroom, which makes everyday washing up much more convenient for either the patient or family members.

"You rest the first half of the night, I’ll take the second half."

"I’m not sleepy right now."

The father and daughter would take turns—one watching Min Rui the first half, the other the second. Jiang Boya had no objections, though he really wasn’t feeling sleepy himself at the moment.

"Okay, then I’ll sleep for a bit first."

Kang Li didn’t argue. She poured Jiang Boya a cup of hot water and put it on the table, "If you get thirsty, have some water."

"Mm."

Jiang Boya nodded.

...

A little after two in the morning, Kang Li opened her eyes and saw Jiang Boya reading a newspaper. She got up, "Dad, go sleep in the bed now."

"You’re awake?!"

Jiang Boya put down the newspaper and said, "Why not sleep a bit longer?"

"It’s almost three—I just woke up naturally."

Freeing up the space, Kang Li walked toward the bathroom, "Let me wash my face."

"Mm," Jiang Boya responded, sitting down on the bed Kang Li had just gotten up from. By the time Kang Li came out, he was already lying down.

Time trickled by, and Jiang Boya fell asleep.

Kang Li sat in the chair next to Min Rui’s hospital bed. She was just reaching for the newspaper Jiang Boya had been reading when Min Rui slowly opened his eyes.

"Mom..."

"Mm, Mommy’s right here!"

"What time is it?"

"Three in the morning."

"Mom, have you been watching over me the whole time?"

"No, I just woke up from the bed next door."

Min Rui heard that and turned to look at the extra bed nearby. He then asked, "Why did Grandpa come to the hospital too?"

No need to think about it—Min Rui knew right away. Grandpa had watched over him the first half of the night, and now it’s Mom’s turn, making sure he wakes up to see his family.

To say he wasn’t moved would be a lie.

"You had something so serious happen—of course Mommy called Grandpa. This way if I need to step out for a bit, Grandpa can stay in the ward with you and I can worry less."

"Great-grandpa and Grandma and Grandpa don’t know yet, right?"

"I told Grandpa not to tell Great-grandpa about it, and as for your Grandma and Grandpa, we’re hiding it from them too—otherwise they’d get all upset and something might happen. But Hanhan and Vivi know—they wanted to come see you at the hospital, but I stopped them from coming."

"Mom..."

"Hmm?"

"I... My injury isn’t too serious, is it?"

"What do you think?"

"I know my left arm is broken, and then here hurts a bit."

His right hand was fine—Min Rui touched around his ribs, finally understanding why it hurt there.

"Left arm’s a comminuted fracture, two broken ribs—the rest is alright. But how did you get so brave? Couldn’t you have called a few more people to help take down those three criminals?"

"Xiao Tong was surrounded by those three. I was the only one in the alley besides them."

"Do you regret it?"

"Not really. I think anyone facing that situation would step in. Besides, Xiao Tong..."

Min Rui didn’t finish, but Kang Li understood what he meant. She was quiet for a moment, then said, "Xiao Tong’s fine. You were really brave, and absolutely did the right thing—just next time, try not to let yourself get hurt, okay?"

"It actually wasn’t a problem for me to take on three of them—except one of them had a stick. When he saw me take down his two buddies, he swung it at my head. I quickly raised my left arm to block, and then..."

"Mom knows already, honey. No need to explain. Now that you’re awake, let’s just stay in the hospital for a few days. If the doctors say you can leave after a week, I’ll arrange your discharge."

"Then... Can I read books?"
