Chapter 216 - 84: Hongdou President Xiao Bo, Jiang Manshu’s 50th Birthday

Sheng Mingyue spoke in a calm, unhurried voice. "Master, you can just treat me like a normal person."

Jiang Li looked completely baffled. "Aren’t you a bionic robot? Don’t you need to be charged or something?"

’She secretly wanted to ask if Sheng Mingyue needed to bathe and eat, too.’

’But then she figured that since Sheng Mingyue was a bionic robot, she probably didn’t need to bathe or eat.’

Sheng Mingyue shook her head. "As long as there’s light, I can charge."

As Jiang Li stared, dumbfounded, Sheng Mingyue spoke again. "Moreover, I can bathe, eat, and sleep just like a normal human."

Jiang Li looked incredulous. "Wait, you can eat and bathe, too? Aren’t you worried you’ll break down?"

To this, Sheng Mingyue explained, "I’m not like ordinary robots."

’Alright, so in other words, she now had an assistant with high EQ who never got tired!’

’As expected of something from the System. It’s simply amazing.’

She nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, for the next couple of days, stay here at the hospital and take care of my mom. Once she’s discharged, you can come be my assistant."

Sheng Mingyue replied respectfully, "Of course, Miss Jiang."

The two spoke for a while longer. After explaining some of Jing Shiyun’s daily habits, Jiang Li went back downstairs to the hospital room.

Jing Shiyun and Jiang Bowen had just finished their meal, and Shen Yanzhi was clearing away the containers.

Seeing this, Jiang Li said, "Since you’re done eating, Ah Yan and I will head back for now. We’ll bring you dinner this evening."

’She’d gotten into the habit of taking afternoon naps, and even though this was a VIP room, it was still no match for the comfort of her own bed at home.’

Jing Shiyun waved her off. "Go on, go on. Go home and get some proper rest."

’Besides, the couple couldn’t be of much help here anyway. The most they could do was chat, so it didn’t really matter whether they stayed or not.’

Shen Yanzhi picked up the food containers and nodded to Jiang Bowen and Jing Shiyun. "Dad, Mom, we’ll head out for now. We’ll be back later."

As soon as they left the room, Shen Yanzhi asked curiously, "What were you talking about with Xiao Sheng just now?"

Jiang Li shrugged. "Nothing much. I just told her about some of Mom’s daily habits."

’It wasn’t technically a lie.’

Shen Yanzhi frowned. "And you two managed to talk for that long?"

Jiang Li couldn’t help but stop and turn to look at Shen Yanzhi, asking teasingly, "What’s this? You’re not getting jealous, are you?"

"I..."

Before Shen Yanzhi could answer, a rushed voice came from behind them. "Make way!"

Shen Yanzhi quickly pulled Jiang Li’s arm, taking two steps to the side. They steadied themselves against the wall just as a medical team rushed by, pushing a patient toward the elevator.

Shen Yanzhi sighed silently. ’Why does it feel like every time I try to tell Jiang Li how I feel, we get interrupted by something?’

’Looks like I’ll have to find a more formal occasion to properly confess my feelings to her.’

’We’ve been married for so long; I at least owe her a proper confession and a proposal.’

’Even though we got married suddenly, she shouldn’t have to miss out on all the things that are supposed to happen.’

’The reason there was no confession or proposal before was partly because the timing never felt right, and partly because he was afraid Jiang Li would say no.’

’But now that she’s pregnant, she probably won’t refuse... for the baby’s sake.’

’No wonder so many people want to ride on their child’s coattails. The benefits are just too good.’

When they got home, Jiang Li changed into her pajamas and went straight to bed, while Shen Yanzhi started looking for a well-reputed wedding planning company.

’After all, professional matters should be left to the professionals.’

’If he tried to do it all by himself, it would take him forever.’

When Jiang Li woke from her nap, she found Shen Yanzhi wasn’t in the room. Seizing the opportunity, she quickly opened a livestreaming app, topped up her account with 10 million, and started visiting channels she’d never gifted before to shower them with presents.

As the system notifications rang out one after another, Jiang Li’s hand started to ache from all the tapping.

She quickly sent a message to Xie Wan, asking her to come upstairs.

"Where’s Mr. Shen?"

Xie Wan answered honestly, "He went out."

Jiang Li was a little surprised. Shen Yanzhi had actually left without waiting for her to wake up.

’But this was perfect. Now she didn’t have to worry about him finding out.’

She had Xie Wan bring over a new phone that was sitting on the side. Jiang Li tore open the packaging, swapped the SIM card from her old phone into the new one, and logged into her usual social media apps.
