Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 798 - 795: Daddy, are you a coward?

"Awake? How are you feeling?"

He set the laptop aside, walked towards Lu Jincheng, his face back to normal.

Lu Jincheng squinted his eyes, and then opened them, "My head is so dizzy~"

"Lie down for now, you’re still running a fever. Once it goes down, you’ll be fine." Lu Jinyang tucked him back into the blankets, frowning, "Did that man give you any medicine?"

"Mhm. I took it."

"Anything else besides the medicine?"

After a thought, Lu Jincheng said, "Water too. Daddy, is there a problem?"

Lu Jinyang’s gaze darkened, "No problem. You’ve slept the whole day, are you hungry?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Jincheng’s stomach began to rumble. His mouth curled slightly, "I’ll go buy you some food."

"Daddy~"

"What’s wrong?"

Lu Jincheng, somewhat embarrassed, rubbed his stomach, "Can you buy me a little bit more? And lots of water, I..." hadn’t drunk any water or eaten anything for two days.

Seeing Lu Jincheng’s expression, a cold gleam flickered in Lu Jinyang’s eyes, "He didn’t feed you anything for two days? And didn’t give you any water?"

Lu Jincheng was feeling wronged. Hearing Daddy’s words, he sadly nodded, "Yeah, he said I had to curse you out. I refused, so he didn’t feed me."

"Why didn’t you listen to him? If you had, you would have gotten food."

Lu Jincheng shook his head without a second thought, "No. The things he said were too horrible."

"What did he want you to call me?"

"He said that you were a..."

Seeing him suddenly stop, Lu Jinyang asked, "A what?"

"Daddy, can I not say it?"

"It’s okay, go on."

Lu Jincheng was conflicted but wanted to tell Daddy how bad that person was. So, with his eyes shut, "He said, you are a coward."

"..."

After a long wait without hearing Lu Jinyang’s voice, Lu Jincheng quietly peeked through his eyelids, only to find Daddy staring at him, his heart inexplicably trembling.

"Did he really say that?"

Lu Jincheng quickly shut his eyes, "Mhm, that’s what he said."

After another long wait, Lu Jincheng suddenly heard a low chuckle, followed by a coolness on his forehead, "Silly child, next time just say it when others tell you to; don’t starve yourself. Whether Daddy is a coward or not depends on whether Daddy wants to be. Remember this, a real man knows when to bend and when to stand."

Lu Jincheng opened one eye, his large eyes sparkling, "So Daddy, are you a coward or not?"

Lu Jinyang: "..."

The next day, Xiao Qing also woke up and no longer needed IV drips. Lu Jincheng still had a mild fever.

Ye Han and Lu Zhiyuan learned from Leng Yixing that both the adult and the child were unwell, so they rushed to the hospital. Upon learning that there was no need for them to be admitted, they immediately handled their discharge procedures.

Back home, Lu Jincheng got wrapped up by Little Treasure, while Xiao Qing was sent back to her room to rest by Ye Han.

Ye Han somehow learned of Xiao Qing’s pregnancy and immediately had Nanny Zhang study recipes, henceforth Xiao Qing was on a regimen of minor nourishment every day and major supplementation every three days.

Seeing that mother and son temporarily had no need for him, Lu Jinyang went to the study.

Seeing that USB flash drive again, Lu Jinyang was still furiously angry, but fortunately, he kept his wits about him and didn’t do anything to regret.

This time, he didn’t open the video file named after Xiao Qing, but found Tan Biyang’s name and opened it.
