Chapter 699: 685. I seem stingy if I don’t take it (3)_1 Chapter 699: 685. I seem stingy if I don’t take it (3)_1 He dropped the pillow, leaned down with an apologetic smile towards the disgruntled person on the bed, and soothingly said, “Luo Xiaobai, I admit it’s my mistake this time, I promise I’ll be more mindful next time.”
“It was your mistake from the start, I’m warning you, if it happens again, those two little red books will be voided.” Jian Luo said through gritted teeth.
Black Jack’s lips curved in a barely noticeable smirk. He pulled out his phone, intending to call the doctor, “You can’t play around when you have a fever, I’ll have the doctor come over and check on you.”
“I don’t want to.” Upon hearing about getting a doctor, Jian Luo sprang up from under the covers, snatched his phone away, and immediately turned it off.
“Luo Xiaobai, give me the phone. It will be troublesome if you have a high fever in the middle of the night.” He could indulge him in other matters, but not this one.
In the past, even if he just had a mild fever, if a doctor didn’t check on him in time, it would always turn into a high fever.
“That won’t happen, I’ve already taken the medicine. The medicine box is still over there.” Fearful that he wouldn’t believe her, Jian Luo pointed to the medicine box on a table not far away.
“That’s not enough, I’ll only be at ease if a doctor comes and checks on you,” Black Jack insisted.
However, Jian Luo could be even more stubborn than him.
“No, if the doctor comes, my grandpa and the others will find out.”
It was enough to be teased by his elder sister once, he didn’t want to go through that again.
“That won’t happen, grandpa has already gone back to his room to rest.” Black Jack looked at the thin nightwear that Jian Luo had on and pulled the covers closer around him.
“Be good, let the doctor come and check on you.”
Having taken the medicine and not having had dinner, Jian Luo started feeling a bit hypoglycemic from hunger and had no energy to argue with him anymore.
“In any case, I just don’t want the doctor to come, I’m hungry, go get me something to eat.”
Black Jack took a glance at his phone that Jian Luo had hidden under the pillow. He pinched Jian Luo’s face helplessly, “It’s fine if you’re not getting the doctor, you’ll have to take another dose of medicine later though.”
“Fine.” This time, Jian Luo agreed promptly.
Black Jack went downstairs to get some food for him. Jian Luo immediately went back to sleep.
In no time, Black Jack came back with a pot of porridge. After half a bowl of porridge and another pill, Black Jack finally allowed him to sleep peacefully.
The night passed without any issues. In the middle of the night, Jian Luo’s fever subsided, and only then did Black Jack dare to lie down and sleep peacefully.
Time flew by and after nearly a week’s stay in M Country, Jian Qing and Quan Jingwu boarded the plane back to Beijing.
By the time they left the airport, it was almost dark.
It was spring, and the evening breeze was still a bit chilly.
“Boss, madam!”
Shen Hao had been waiting outside the airport in advance. Seeing Quan Jingwu and Jianqing come out, he immediately welcomed them.
Quan Jingwu nodded and opened the car door for Jianqing to get in first.
On the way, Shen Hao drove steadily. Jianqing had just awoken after the flight, the sleepiness had not completely left her eyes.
Quan Jingwu lowered his head, his thin lips touching her smooth forehead, “Are you hungry?”
“A little.”
The flash in Quan Jingwu’s purple eyes, he took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, unwrapped it and brought it to her mouth, “Eat this first, you will have dinner when we get back.”
Jianqing bit into the chocolate, her eyes curving into a smile, “When did you start carrying chocolate with you? Did you buy it?”
Quan Jingwu shook his head, once again pulling out a handful of chocolates from his pocket like a magician, each wrapped in a colorful and exquisite wrapper.
At first glance, there seemed to be more than ten.
Jianqing’s eyes sparkled, her red lips curved into a faint smile, “Xiaojing, where did you get so many chocolates from?”
He didn’t buy them, so where did he get this many chocolates from? Moreover, this brand of chocolates was her and Luoluo’s favorite.
“I took them casually.” he nonchalantly replied.
“Casually…” Jianqing murmured, her eyes wide as she recalled the situation when she saw Black Jack in the morning, he had been holding a box of chocolates.
Could it possibly be the box that Black Jack had bought?
“Xiaojing, did you take Black Jack’s chocolates?”
Because of his cold, Luoluo had been ignoring Black Jack these past few days. This chocolate was probably something Black Jack bought to appease Luoluo. Now that the chocolates were in the hands of her domineering Jingwu, would Black Jack be happy about it?
“I took them.” Quan Jingwu stressed again very calmly, and put the chocolates back into his pocket.
“Where did you take them from?” Jianqing asked.
“From the table in the living room.”
Jianqing’s mouth twitched, no wonder they had all stepped out the door, but he ran back to the living room. As it turns out, he saw the chocolates that Black Jack had left on the table.
“You went back to the living room just to take these?”
Quan Jingwu responded with a sound of agreement.
“So did you know these chocolates were bought by Black Jack?” she asked with a smile.
Quan Jingwu: “Isn’t it his apology gift to me?”
“You knew and you still took it?”
“He apologized to me, it would seem petty if I didn’t take it.”
At his words, Jianqing became dumbfounded.
“What do you mean, why would he apologize to you?”
The chocolates were clearly brought by Black Jack to placate Luoluo. What does it have to do with him?
“The other day he said the cups I made were ugly.” After a pause, Quan Jingwu uttered a sentence.
“…”
Jianqing was speechless.
Turns out her domineering Jingwu has such a rich imagination.
If Black Jack found out, would he faint from anger?
“Xiaojing, do you think Black Jack would buy chocolates to apologize to you?”
Quan Jingwu seemed to think seriously about it, then said leisurely, “Even though giving chocolates as an apology is a bit stingy, I am his brother-in-law after all, so I’ll begrudgingly be generous and accept.”
He said it so earnestly, it left Jianqing with no retort.
Black Jack, you’ve offended my domineering Jingwu, it’s just your bad luck.
As for this box of chocolates, I will just grudgingly eat it on behalf of Luoluo.
Just as she thought of this, Jianqing’s phone rang.
She took it out and the corner of her eyes twitched.
The caller ID showed – Black Jack.
Could she pretend not to have heard the ringing of her phone?
While she was conflicted whether to answer the call or not, a slender hand took over her phone and answered directly.
Jianqing buried her head into his chest, hearing nothing.
“Jian, your Quan Jingwu is too despicable, he actually stole my chocolates, let him answer the phone.” Just as the call connected, Black Jack’s angry gnashing voice came through.
Quan Jingwu’s eyebrows ticked, his face serene, “How am I despicable, Black Jack?”
Hearing Quan Jingwu’s voice, Black Jack exploded, “Quan Jingwu, you shameless, stealing all the chocolates I bought, you have no class.”
He, Quan Jingwu, could get whatever chocolates he wanted, why would he need to take his? He was obviously doing it on purpose.
“Weren’t those meant to apologize to me?” Quan Jingwu asked, pretending to be confused, crimson lips curling into a playful smile.
“Damn it, me apologize to you, are you joking, are you daydreaming too much?” Black Jack roared.
The chocolates were for him to coax Luo Xiaobai, that hateful Quan Jingwu, he deliberately took his chocolates away when he was leaving as an act of provocation.
Even through the phone, Jianqing could feel Black Jack’s fury. Her shoulders quivered as she struggled to suppress her laughter.
