The moment Ling Tianya looked a tiny bit unwell, Ling Tao got all nervous and worried. And yet when Liu Fen’s entire face was swollen, and her teeth falling out, Ling Tao didn’t even spare her an extra look.
Liu Fen wasn’t pleased about it at all, and it just fueled her desire to birth a son for Ling Tao brighter. As long as she had a son, she would be able to live the socialite life.
Ling Tianya calmly replied, “I’m okay. My head was hurting, but it doesn’t anymore.”
Big Big and Small Big could see that she wasn’t feeling too well either, and both of them asked in genuine concern, “Miss Ling, are you really okay? Do you want me to tell Boss?”
“Don’t!” Ling Tianya vehemently objected. Ruan Zeyan had been busy recently, and she didn’t want to bother him. If Ruan Zeyan ever knew that she wasn’t feeling fell, he would definitely whisk her off into a hospital as though she was in life-threatening danger.
She knew her own body the best. There was nothing that the hospitals would be able to pick up that she wouldn’t, so there’s no reason to bother someone else.
“I’m really okay. Don’t disturb your Boss while he’s at work,” Ling Tianya calmly answered.
Small Big took Ling Tianya’s pale face in his hands. Miss Ling did really have his Boss in her heart, so why had he been so blind to it in the start?
He really was looking at things only on the surface level and constantly getting being misguided. He hadn’t been able to see past all the layers to see what was true underneath.
Ling Tao was besides himself with glee now that Ling Tianya was back, and he ordered the kitchen to make many dishes. This time, they were really all dishes that Ling Tianya liked.
Looking at the whole array of sweet and sour food on the table, Ling Tianya was grateful. Even though they were all family style dishes, they were all of Ling Tianya’s favorite palette of foods: sour, sweet, soft, and sticky dishes.
Ling Tianya looked over at Ling Tao in slight confusion.
Faced with his daughter’s confused face, Ling Tao chuckled in embarrassment, “I remembered the last time you were back, you barely touched the food on the table. I thought you must have not liked them. So, I asked my future son-in-law a few days ago what you liked to eat and what your habits were…”
Future son-in-law? Ruan Zeyan?
Ling Tianya definitely did not expect that her stubborn, cowardly dad would actually dare to ask Ruan Zeyan questions on his own accord.
Similarly, Ruan Zeyan had not expected it too.
Back then, Ruan Zeyan was in a meeting. Du Gang had received Ling Tao’s call and asked him whether he would like to pick it up. Ruan Zeyan gave it a thought and eventually decided to pick up the call. He had originally not had a good impression of his future father-in-law, and so he didn’t think that this call of his would have a huge significance either.
Who knew that Ling Tao would start the call with a heavy stutter before finally asking bashedly, “Mr. Ruan, do you know what kinds of food my Yaya usually likes? Does she have any habits?”
Ruan Zeyan was a little taken aback and didn’t answer his question immediately.
While waiting for the answer, Ling Tao could only feel his face getting warmer and warmer. As a father, he had no idea what his own daughter liked, and he had to ask an outsider.
It was an embarrassing and pitiful thing.
“I’m in a meeting. I’ll talk to you later,” Ruan Zeyan plainly replied before ending the call.
Ling Tao had initially thought that Ruan Zeyan was angry at him for being a father that didn’t care about his daughter and had fussed over it for the whole day.
In the end, not too long later, he had received a huge chunk of text from Ruan Zeyan.
It clearly stated everything that Ling Tianya liked and disliked.
Ling Tao even brought up the message from his phone to show it to Ling Tianya.
Ling Tianya read every single word of it, feeling a warmth spread from within.
She didn’t even notice some of these things… but he did.
