Chapter 843 The caring little cotton-padded jacket
Jiang Mubai couldn't bear to see the housekeeper waiting here at such an old age, so she persuaded him: "Dad and the others will be back soon, Uncle Chen, you go back and have a good rest first. I'll watch over here. When they come back, I'll go out and open the door for them."
"I'd better wait with you. I'm old and I don't sleep enough. Besides, Mu Bai, aren't you afraid of the empty villa? If I leave, will you be okay here alone?"
"Sure, I'll find a TV to watch it on and it won't be so scary if there's some sound."
"I'd better wait with you. If you can't help but fall asleep, I'll have to get up and help Mr. Jiang open the door."
"How could that be? Uncle Chen, I'm not that unreliable, okay?"
Jiang Mubai knew that the housekeeper was worried that she would be scared here alone, so she didn't keep asking her to go back to her room to rest.
An hour passed quickly while Jiang Mubai and the housekeeper were chatting. Jiang Mubai saw that the time was half past eleven. Just when she was about to ask, the housekeeper's cell phone beside her rang.
"Are they back?"
"It should be. The person who called me was Mr. Jiang's driver. I guess they have already arrived at the door and asked me to go out and open the door for them."
After the housekeeper answered the driver's call, he found out that it was indeed because of this incident. The gate outside the villa did not need to be opened by crossing the lawn. They came directly to the door of the villa. There was a device for opening and closing the gate on the wall at the door. As long as it was activated, the gate of the villa would be opened. After Jiang Mubai pressed it, the gate of the villa slowly opened. Although the distance was far and it was late at night, she could not see clearly.
But Jiang An's car was parked at the gate of the villa with its lights on, so after seeing the lights, Jiang Mubai knew that the gate of the villa was opened by him.
The butler had already come out of the villa and was standing outside to greet them. It was obvious that he had seen the car parked at the gate just like Jiang Mubai.
After the gate of the villa was opened, the driver drove the car with Jiang An and stopped at the gate of the villa. "Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang is still awake and is waiting for you outside."
Jiang An was taking a nap in the car, but after hearing the driver's words, he opened his eyes immediately. Jiang Mubai was indeed standing quietly at the door of the villa waiting for his car to arrive.
After the car was parked, Jiang An couldn't help but open the door and get out: "Mu Bai, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
"I slept too much in the morning and now I can't sleep."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai was too embarrassed to say that he was worried about Jiang An, the butler directly exposed Jiang Mubai.
"Mu Bai was worried about you because you came back so late, so he insisted that you wait with me downstairs for Mr. Jiang to come back."
"How could I? I just couldn't sleep."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai was embarrassed, the housekeeper stopped talking about this matter. Jiang An knew that Jiang Mubai was embarrassed so he gave his daughter enough face in front of outsiders.
"Come to the villa on time tomorrow to pick me up to go to work at the company. It's a bit late today, so remember to find some time to go back and rest. Be careful when driving back alone at night."
The driver did not live with them in the Jiang family villa, so after hearing what Jiang An said, the driver agreed and immediately drove Jiang An's car towards his home.
After the driver left, the housekeeper told the Jiang father and daughter to go in quickly and not stand at the door.
"Come in quickly. It's late at night and the temperature is low. If you stay outside for too long, you might catch a cold."
"Yeah, Mu Bai, it must be very cold if you stand outside at night wearing so little."
"I'm fine. I just came out of the villa not long ago. It's not too cold yet."
"If it's not cold now, it will be cold if you stay outside for a long time. Anyway, I'm back now, so let's go back to the villa first."
"it is good."
After seeing that Jiang An was not drunk, Jiang Mubai felt relieved. She originally thought that Jiang An would go home early after the dinner, but she didn't expect him to come home so late.
Jiang Mubai originally wanted to talk to Jiang An about the Hundred Days Banquet, but it was so late and Jiang An must be very tired after a long day of work and socializing, so Jiang Mubai did not pull him aside to talk about the matter.
"Dad must be very tired, you should go back to your room and have some rest. Don't you have to go to work at the company tomorrow?"
Seeing that Jiang Mubai had waited for him so late, Jiang An thought that he must have something to tell him, and what Jiang An thought was indeed correct.
"Do you have something to tell me? I'm back now, Mu Bai, tell me. Your matter is more important. No matter how late it is or how tired Dad is, I will listen to you."
"I do have something to discuss with you, but it's not a big deal. I'll tell you tomorrow. It's so late now so we won't talk about it. Dad, you should go back and get some rest."
"Are you really not going to tell me now?"
"No need to say anything, it's really nothing serious. If it were, I would have told you."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai didn't look like he was lying, Jiang An felt a little relieved. Plus, he was a little tired after a busy day, so he didn't continue asking questions.
"Okay, Dad, the company won't be so busy tomorrow so you can come back early. Then you can talk to me about what you want to tell me."
"Okay, you just came back from a social event tonight, so you don't feel uncomfortable in your stomach, right? Dad, you're really working too hard. You should take care of your health at your age."
"It's okay. I know my own body. Now I think about how much energy my father has after I was born. He wants to create a better material life and conditions for you and your daughter."
"I am already very satisfied with what we have now. It is best for our family to be happy and healthy."
"Dad knows, Mu Bai, after you said that, I will keep your words in mind."
After listening to Jiang Mubai's words, Jiang An felt warm in his heart. No wonder everyone wanted to have daughters. Daughters were indeed much more caring than sons. Although Jiang An had no sons and only a daughter, Jiang Mubai, he had heard enough from his friends about their sons' troubles and the need for them to help clean up the mess.
"It's still more caring to have a daughter. No wonder everyone says daughters are caring little cotton-padded jackets."
"Okay, everyone go back to bed, it's really getting late."
After the butler waited for Jiang An and Jiang Mubai to go upstairs, he stayed to check that the doors and windows of the villa were closed, and then turned off all the lights before returning to his room to wash up.
Jiang Mubai was a little sleepy as she stayed up till now before returning to her room. She had never slept so late since she became pregnant. Except for last night's chat with Manman and Wu You, Jiang Mubai was very happy with them yesterday so she didn't feel anything about staying up late. But today, she couldn't bear it after staying up until now.
Jiang Mubai fell asleep within a few minutes of lying on the bed, and the Jiang family villa became completely quiet.
The next day, Jiang Mubai woke up a little later than before. As she opened her eyes and woke up in bed, she warned herself: "I can't stay up late like this anymore. I can't let the good habits I developed with great difficulty be ruined in the past two days."
Jiang Mubai was afraid that if she lay down again she would not be able to fall asleep again, so she rolled over in bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Zhou Xiaoying opened the door of her small suite after hearing the noise outside. Thinking that the child was already awake, she was not afraid that the noise outside would disturb the child.
