Postnatal Care of a Sow - Chapter 27

Qi Qiuyu didn’t feel that she could vent her anger on She Yuan. She said to She Yuan, “I won’t ban you two from having a romance. But you should report to me before you take him away. You are quite independent, but my son is a little fool. I’m always worried about him.”

Ruan Bai really wanted to declare that he was not a little fool. If he was a little fool, how could he have won the first place for many years running and even got a postgraduate recommendation from his university? But Ruan Bai didn’t dare to say anything. He stood still, head bowed, and listened to his mother with great patience.

She Yuan nodded, “Yes, Auntie, you are right. Next time I take him out, I will let you know in advance.”

Qi Qiuyu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Ruan Bai standing behind She Yuan, was on the verge of laughing. Professor She was so good at playing with language.

“Auntie, I have to go now. I’ll come to visit you and Uncle another day.”

Qi Qiuyu nodded and saw him off.

She Yuan went downstairs and drove to the nearest shopping mall. He bought all the home products that Ruan Bai might use, including desk, chairs, underwear and so on. In the afternoon, he asked the workers of the furniture shop to deliver the new furniture to his house and arrange the new desk across from his desk so that Ruan Bai could study or work at the desk next time.

Then he called Ruan Bai’s tutor and asked him to make a list of their lab’s equipment. Then he bought everything in the list and planned to install a laboratory for Ruan Bai in another house.

When he finished the shopping, it was already past nine o’clock. He lay down on the sofa for a rest. But before long, he received a call from Ruan Bai.

“What are you doing, Mr. She?”

“I’m having a resting. This afternoon I bought a lot of things. You can come and have a look in a few days.”

Ruan Bai laughed gaily. “What did you buy?”

She Yuan had no intention of keeping Ruan Bai guessing, but he had bought so many things that he couldn’t enumerate them all. “You will see in a few days. What did you do this afternoon?”

Ruan Bai began to report to She Yuan about what he had done this afternoon, just like a primary school student answering his teacher’s question in class. “After you left, my mother scolded me for a while. She also told me to take extra security precautions when I stayed with you. But I can’t understand why. You’re not a bad guy.”

She Yuan gave a meaningful smile and said, “You do indeed need to take extra security precautions when you stay with me.”

“Ah? ”

“Because I always want to do something bad to you.”

Ruan Bai couldn’t help but imagine the scene at the other end of the phone. She Yuan had a handsome face and an air of asceticism. Ruan Bai was so curious about She Yuan’s expression when She Yuan said this. Ruan Bai was a little embarrassed to continue the conversation. His voice had just been high, but now became low and nasal. It felt like Ruan Bai was whispering in She Yuan’s ear.

“Then I played with Dave for a while…”

Ruan Bai kept talking about little nothings of life. His remarks were not much fun, but She Yuan listened to him patiently. Gradually, Ruan Bai fell asleep. She Yuan once had to keep away from Ruan Bai. Even though he had so many pictures of Ruan Bai, there was still an aching emptiness in his heart. He couldn’t approach or touch Ruan Bai who always seemed so far away from him.

Actually, he didn’t plan to meet Ruan Bai so early. His original plan to clean up all his enemies abroad and make sure there was no danger before going to Ruan Bai. In the past, She Yuan’s father had taken She Yuan and Li Qingge abroad in a bid to protect them.

However, the political struggle was cruel, and failure was irreparable. She Yuan’s father turned to industry and commerce and became a successful businessman. But their enemies still haunted them like a nightmare. When She Yuan was young, there were always no less than four bodyguards around him. Even under protection, his mother was once kidnapped.

Since he returned to China, he had been watched by the enemies. He didn’t dare to risk Ruan Bai’s safety, so he always stayed away from Ruan Bai. But he hadn’t expected that he would meet Ruan Bai in such a dramatic way. It must be fate.

That bully sow, Ruan Bai’s most precious pig was one of ingredients in their reunion. She Yuan started thinking about how to reciprocate that sow. Anyway, he didn’t want his young benefactor to be a dish in the canteen.
