"Jiang Ning, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you. I thought you wouldn't be satisfied with the BMW I assigned you," Su Meng apologized.
"President Su, you're overthinking it. All I want right now is to live a good life with Mengmeng. I don't have any demands," Jiang Ning said helplessly.
Su Meng looked at Jiang Ning again.
She realized that in just one day, she had already scrutinized Jiang Ning countless times. She examined every word he said with a critical eye.
Perhaps it was because she cared too much about Mengmeng, or perhaps it was because Jiang Ning's behavior was too unconventional, unlike others who prioritized profit.
For Su Meng, who had been navigating the business world for a long time, it was her habit to view everything Jiang Ning said with suspicion.
But Jiang Ning didn't know these thoughts of Su Meng's. He truly just wanted to take care of Mengmeng.
Perhaps the Super Nanny System had already given him enough.
Perhaps Mengmeng had secretly told him that she was adopted from an orphanage, making him want to treat her well.
Seeing Jiang Ning's sincerity, Su Meng also felt that her actions tonight were a bit much.
She couldn't help but feel a little guilty, shouldn't have looked at Jiang Ning that way.
Jiang Ning's performance today was definitely undeniable.
It went beyond the responsibilities a parent should have.
He was even more caring than a biological father.
That was often the case.
If an employee hired by the boss worked hard enough, they would feel satisfied.
He felt that since he was paying, the employees should repay him with two, three, or even more times the labor.
And if the hired employee did exceptionally well, or exceeded expectations, becoming too successful, the boss would start to suspect them. They wouldn't be normal, they'd have ulterior motives, ill intentions, and the boss would start to scrutinize them.
Su Meng was naturally no exception, as Jiang Ning's performance was too outstanding.
Adding to that, what her younger brother had said to her in the afternoon, she felt that the better Jiang Ning treated Mengmeng, the more he was trying to please her, to win her over.
Because she was a beautiful CEO like Su Meng.
In the outside rumors about the Su Corporation, it was said that she was a daughter, and many wealthy young masters often tried to surround her, to please her, to fawn over her, countless times.
It was no wonder that Su Meng, during the hour-long walk, scrutinized Jiang Ning multiple times.
The two of them unknowingly walked around the neighborhood several times.
An hour passed.
"Mengmeng, it's about time, let's go back," Su Meng said to Mengmeng, who was playing on the grass.
"So soon, Mommy? I want to play a little longer," Mengmeng said reluctantly.
"No, Mengmeng, you're all sweaty. It's time to go back and take a bath and sleep."
Seeing Su Meng's firm stance, Mengmeng turned and ran back.
The three of them returned to the villa.
"Su, I'll take care of Mengmeng's bath. You're going on a business trip tomorrow, so you should pack your luggage," Jiang Ning said as they entered the villa.
Su Meng nodded, "Thank you, Jiang Ning."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Madam Su, I told you, it's my responsibility. Please don't be so polite."
After that, Jiang Ning took Mengmeng into the bathroom.
Jiang Ning filled the bathtub with hot water, and he put his hand into the water to test the temperature. Finding it suitable, he let Mengmeng get in and take a bath.
After playing all day, Jiang Ning wanted Mengmeng to have a good soak in the tub so she could sleep well at night.
This bathtub was for the big dog.
However, Mengmeng started playing in the water.
She even imitated the swimming postures from the TV, paddling around in a doggy paddle.
Jiang Ning wiped down her chubby body, getting splashed by Mengmeng in the process.
"Hehe, Uncle Jiang, look at how good Mengmeng is at swimming!" Mengmeng said happily, looking at the soaked Jiang Ning.
"Mengmeng, you're a little mischievous. Swimming should be done like this." Jiang Ning gestured to the side, demonstrating the correct form.
Having grown up in the countryside, Jiang Ning had been swimming in the river since he was a child, and was a strong swimmer.
Teaching Mengmeng the correct swimming posture was easy for him.
Five minutes later.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the Grandmaster Swimming Level."
隨後一段段游泳技巧信息湧入江寧的腦海.
自己的身體和四肢也發生了變꿨.
感覺四肢更有力,更有韌性了.
玩個水也能獲得獎勵.
關鍵是這獎勵涵蓋了游泳的各種項目,包括自由泳,蛙泳,仰泳,蝶泳等,甚至連跳水等與水有關的項目都包含在內.
這次的信息量有點大.
江寧得好好消꿨一陣才能吸收.
굛늁鐘過後.
"Okay, Mengmeng, that's enough. You shouldn't soak too long, or you'll easily catch a cold." Jiang Ning quickly picked up Mengmeng and rinsed her clean with fresh, hot water.
"Mengmeng, why don't you look at some children's books for a bit? Uncle Jiang's clothes got wet, so I need to go change into something dry."
"Okay." Mengmeng obediently went to her small study.
It was filled with fairy tale books, cartoon pictures, and storybooks with cartoons and text.
Jiang Ning also went back to the guest room and changed into a clean set of clothes.
"Mengmeng, it's time for bed," Jiang Ning said as he entered the small study.
Mengmeng, still engrossed in her book, didn't even look up. "Uncle Jiang, but Mengmeng still wants to read for a little while."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "No, it's too late. Mengmeng needs to be a good girl."
"Alright, Uncle Jiang, tell me another story."
"Okay, this time Uncle Jiang will tell you a brand new one, I guarantee Mengmeng hasn't heard it before."
"Yay, yay!" Mengmeng stood up obediently and patted her clothes.
They came to Mengmeng's bedroom.
This time, Jiang Ning didn't search "Baidu".
He had enough fairy tales in his head to keep Mengmeng entertained for over a month.
Mengmeng lay on the bed.
Jiang Ning stood in front of the bed, telling the story vividly, occasionally using gestures.
This made Mengmeng listen with rapt attention.
Meanwhile, Su Meng was secretly watching Jiang Ning from the doorway.
The fairy tale Jiang Ning was telling now, even Su Meng hadn't heard before.
She listened quietly, watching Jiang Ning, her eyes actually a little dazed.
What's wrong with me? Am I bewitched? Su Meng, her face flushed red, quickly ran away.
Half an hour later.
Mengmeng entered dreamland.
Jiang Ning tucked Mengmeng in, tiptoed out of the room, and closed the door.
Afterward, he went to the bathroom, grabbed a mop, and started cleaning from the first floor.
The third floor was Su Meng's office and piano room.
At this moment, Su Meng was on the phone with Su Che.
"Sis, why are you calling so late? What's up?" Su Che said, annoyed.
He was currently playing a game.
"Su Che, tell me honestly, what did you say to Jiang Ning when you introduced him?"
Su Che was a little resentful because Su Meng's phone call had caused him to lose a game: "Sis, what could I have said? He already knows I'm your brother."
"Su Che, did you tell him to pursue me, or did you hint at him to set us up together?"
"Geez, Sis, why are you always so spacey? You're so smart, do you really think your dumbass brother would say something like that? Sis, do you think if I told my classmate Jiang Ning all that, he'd still be a nanny?"
"Su Che, tell me everything that you said to Jiang Ning, don't leave out a single word," Su Meng said sternly.
She still didn't quite believe that Jiang Ning could be so attentive to Mengmeng. It was more caring and patient than even Mengmeng's real father.
She wouldn't be able to do it herself.
"Alright, I'll tell you, Sis, listen carefully, I don't want to say this a second time."
Then, Su Che began to recount everything.
"Su Che, what did you say about me, aloof? Am I aloof, Sis?" Su Meng said, annoyed.
"Sis, you can go ask around, you're known as the aloof CEO. Can't your little brother just speak the truth?"
"Alright, alright, I'm hanging up." Su Meng hung up the phone impatiently.
"Looks like I was overthinking things." Su Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
