Chapter 1945: Agreeing to Handle the Divorce Procedures (6)
"Wife..." Ruan Jianguo opened his eyes, blearily looking at Shu Jie sitting by his bed. He reached out to grab her hand but was too drunk to even focus, missing it entirely.
Shu Jie proactively reached out to hold his hand and looked at him.
Ruan Jianguo gave a silly smile, "Wife, don’t worry, I won’t let you... hiccup..." He squinted his eyes without finishing his sentence, leaving Shu Jie waiting in vain for the rest.
This time, Ruan Jianguo actually fell asleep, snoring loudly.
With no other choice, Shu Jie composed herself, stood up to help him take off his clothes, and then gently wiped him down with warm water. It was midsummer, so he wouldn’t catch cold even if he wasn’t wearing a shirt. Instead of putting clothes back on him, she just covered him with a thin blanket and left.
Outside, Jiaojiao was still waiting.
Seeing Shu Jie come out, she immediately came forward to ask, "Mom, how’s Dad?"
Shu Jie replied, "He’s fine. Hurry up and go to sleep, staying up late is bad for your health."
Jiaojiao peeked inside and saw only the back of Ruan Jianguo sleeping soundly. She nodded, didn’t ask any more questions, and turned to go upstairs to bed.
The next day, when Jiaojiao got up, she first checked on the hungover Ruan Jianguo. After all, as he was getting older, a whole night of hangover gave him quite a headache.
Feeling a bit sorry for him, she sat next to him and advised, "Dad, you should drink less in the future."
Feeling warmth in his heart from Jiaojiao’s caring words, Ruan Jianguo thought his daughter was truly his little comfort. Just as he was about to say something moved, Jiaojiao poked his round belly and continued, "Look how round your belly is. Last night, it took Brother Duan and Uncle together to carry you."
