Fated to My Billionaire Husband-Chapter 2290: Let the Children Video Call Him
Nangong Xu was very accommodating at that moment.
"Sure, you can go back." He agreed readily.
Dr. Zhao was pleased, "Thank you, sir."
It had been raining lightly for a few days in London, with occasional chilly winds.
Ruan Tianling had been overworked for two months straight, and with the sudden change in weather, he caught a cold and fell ill.
Jian Yufei ordered him to rest for two days without doing anything.
Whenever Ruan Tianling gets sick, his temper tends to worsen, but he’s much better now and has learned to control his temper.
Yet, he was still quite grumpy.
Jian Yufei walked into the room with a bowl of brewed Chinese medicine, smiling as she called him, "Get up and drink your medicine."
Due to his severe physical depletion lately, he had been drinking Chinese medicine for a while, to the point where he felt like throwing up just from the smell.
So the moment he heard Jian Yufei’s voice, he immediately turned away from her, wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, and pretended not to hear.
Jian Yufei placed the medicine on the bedside table and reached out to pull the blanket.
"Did you hear me? Get up and drink your medicine."
"..."
"Ruan Tianling!"
"I’m asleep!" came a muffled voice from under the blanket.
Jian Yufei burst into laughter, "Do you still think you’re a child? Get up and drink it while it’s hot. This medicine is prepared by Dad; it’ll help you recover from the cold quickly."
Ruan Tianling turned reluctantly, "Can’t I just take Western medicine?"
Why must I drink Chinese medicine? It’s such a hassle and tastes awful.
"Your body needs nourishment, and Chinese medicine can rejuvenate it; Western medicine won’t help."
Jian Yufei picked up the bowl, stirred it with a spoon, and blew it cool.
"Hurry up, or I’ll get angry if you don’t drink it."
Ruan Tianling knew it was futile to resist, so he sat up.
Jian Yufei scooped a spoonful to feed him, and he chuckled, "If I drink it slowly like this, I’ll throw up. Just give it to me; I’ll down it in one go."
"Okay, be careful not to burn yourself." Jian Yufei handed him the bowl.
Even though Ruan Tianling loathed drinking Chinese medicine, he didn’t even frown while drinking it.
"Is it bitter?" Jian Yufei asked him after placing the bowl aside.
Ruan Tianling nodded, "Didn’t you prepare any sugar for me?"
"..." Jian Yufei was a bit embarrassed, "You still want sugar?"
"Of course!"
"Let me get some for you."
Ruan Tianling grabbed her hand and pulled her closer.
He stared at her lips and said, "No need, there’s something sweet right here."
With that, he kissed her lips.
His tongue, slightly tinged with bitterness, slipped into her mouth, and Jian Yufei also tasted the flavor of the Chinese medicine.
Just as they were lost in their kiss, the door suddenly knocked.
"Yufei, are you there?" It was Xiao Zexin’s voice.
Jian Yufei hurriedly pushed Ruan Tianling away, tidying her clothes and hair, "Dad, I’m here, come in."
Xiao Zexin pushed the door slightly open but didn’t enter.
"I want to video call with the grandkids; can you help me connect?"
"Okay!" Jian Yufei nodded.
She silently blamed herself for forgetting to arrange a video call with the kids for him.
There had been too much going on lately, and she forgot, which led to delaying until now.
Jian Yufei went to the study to open the computer and connected a video call with Ansel.
The screen popped up with Ansel’s cute, childlike face.
"Mommy, you haven’t contacted us for ages." Ansel started to complain.
Jian Yufei laughed, "Mommy’s been slow lately. Where’s Junqi?"
Just after she asked, Junqi’s face suddenly appeared, taking up the entire screen.
"Junqi, don’t get so close; Mommy can’t see me anymore."
