My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 977 - 745: Liking You Since the First Glance 86
Jian Dan nodded, not refuting Madam Bo’s words, "Mom, you’re right."
"Is Bo Qin not back yet?"
Jian Dan shook her head, "He has to work overtime to handle some urgent documents. He called earlier to say he’d be back late. Do you need him for something?"
Madam Bo didn’t want Jian Dan to know about these troublesome matters, so she shook her head, "No, I’ll go take a bath. You play for a while and take Jianjian to rest."
"Alright."
Madam Bo quickly disappeared from the hall.
As soon as she left, Jian Dan heard some small murmurs from familiar voices.
"The madam is too good to Miss Jian, isn’t she?"
"Isn’t that right? I said it before, she’s only privileged because of the child. Without a child, how could the Bo Family treat her so well?"
"But the Eldest Young Master treats her well."
"The Eldest Young Master isn’t bad to anyone, right?"
The voices were soft, not harsh to Jian Dan’s ears. If it were before Bo Qin confessed his feelings to her, she might feel hurt. But now, she didn’t feel sad, just a bit uncomfortable.
She remembered some of these people; they were hired after she moved into the Bo Family, worried that they didn’t have enough staff. So, they’re all relatively new.
They haven’t been with the Bo Family for long.
Jian Dan played with Bo Jian for a while and then took him upstairs.
...
Past midnight, Bo Qin stepped into the room, draped in the night’s shadow, but his face showed no fatigue, his eyes carried a deep sharpness, and his features were as cold as frost.
A servant was on night duty; upon hearing some noise, her drowsiness vanished instantly. She quickly emerged, stunned briefly upon seeing Bo Qin, looking slightly uneasy, "Eldest Young Master, you’re back? Do you need a midnight snack? I’ll prepare it right away."
"No need."
With a simple and straightforward response, he headed straight upstairs without even a glance. The servant watched him for a while, then glanced up towards the second floor, pursed her lips, and returned to her resting spot, feeling a bit discontent.
To be married to such a good person, and yet she doesn’t even wait up for him.
A Young Madam who doesn’t offer warmth or care, what’s the use?
Bo Qin entered the room under the moonlight, with a warm yellow lampshade glowing by the bedside. His features softened as he lowered his footsteps and walked over.
He saw Bo Jian nestled in Jian Dan’s embrace, sleeping soundly, while Jian Dan, perhaps extremely tired, kept her eyes tightly shut, her brows furrowed as if something troubled her, making her uncomfortable.
He paused, reaching over to smooth out the wrinkles in her brow. Jian Dan, half-awake, opened her eyes drowsily, "Uncle Qin?"
"Hmm, go back to sleep. I’m going to take a shower."
"Do you want something to eat?"
Her voice, soft from just waking, darkened Bo Qin’s eyes as he watched her lips move, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
"Wifey, is it okay now?"
Jian Dan was initially shocked by the word ’wifey,’ then her face flushed red. She averted her eyes from Bo Qin’s gaze. Bo Qin chuckled lowly, a sound that seemed sharp in the quiet room.
Then, he said three words, "Coward."
Who’s the coward?
Jian Dan reached out, grabbing his lapel, "Who’s the coward?"
"You."
"I’m not, it’s not like I’m not letting you touch me."
As she spoke, she lowered her head. Bo Qin’s deep gaze darkened further. Standing, he leaned over and in the next second, Jian Dan found herself being lifted out of the bed in his arms. Their peacefully sleeping son merely gave a silly smile.
Jian Dan looked at him in a panic, "You, you, what are you doing?"
Bo Qin’s lips moved closer, planting a kiss on her forehead, "You tell me, what do I want to do?"
Saying this, he turned around with her in his arms and headed straight to the bathroom.
Jian Dan: "..."
...
Jian Dan thought that some things, once started, must be continuously satisfied. If not, don’t start at all. Knowing full well that the next day was their son’s hundred-day banquet, he showed no mercy. When Jian Dan got up, her legs were trembling.
Bo Qin was already crouched by the bed, dressing their son in new clothes. He glanced at her resentful face and smiled, "Not satisfied with my performance yesterday?"
Jian Dan widened her eyes in shock, "You...this early in the morning, can you not act like a rogue?"
Bo Qin’s smile was pleasant. He picked up their son, kissed him, and then walked to her, "Are you okay by yourself? Do you need me to take care of you?"
"No need, you take the son downstairs first, I’ll be down in a bit. Let me take it slow."
Bo Qin: "..."
