Chapter 291: I Once Loved You Very, Very Much

Xia Huiya turned abruptly, staring at the two as they left.

She also wanted to stop the two of them, but she couldn't find a suitable excuse in her mind for the moment, so she could only watch helplessly as Jiang Baobao took Jiang Chenghao away, and angrily pulled Lu Qing'er away.

As soon as she returned to the living room, she directly ordered the servant: "Go, follow Jiang Baobao's car for me and see where they actually went!"

"Madam... they... seem to have already left..."

The servant glanced outside the window, said in a low voice, and a trace of panic flashed across her expression.

The next second—

A "slap" sound rang out!

The servant's face was directly struck by a heavy slap!

"Left? Did I or did I not say, don't let Jiang Baobao in so easily! And don't let her just take those two people from the garden away! Since they just left like that, do I have to personally tell you to keep a close eye on people every single time?"

Xia Huiya's voice was shrill, and all her fury was vented onto the servant in front of her.

"Madam, I... I understand, I will definitely be careful next time..."

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed quickly across the servant's eyes, but she dared not say anything more and could only apologize in fear and trepidation.

Xia Huiya gave the person in front of her a disgruntled look, her eyes glaring fiercely at the window where there was already no car to be seen.

On the road—

Jiang Baobao took Jiang Chenghao directly into her car, started the car and drove for a distance, only then did she make a call to Liu Xin'ai.

"Hello? Xinaijie, I have already picked up Little Uncle, have you set off?"

Jiang Baobao asked, subconsciously using her peripheral vision to size up Jiang Chenghao beside her, only then suddenly noticing that what he was wearing was still an old shirt from several years ago.

Immediately after, she heard Liu Xin'ai reply with pleasant surprise: "Really? Then I will set off immediately... I should... be able to arrive in half an hour..."

A series of faint, fragmented sounds came from Liu Xin'ai's end of the phone; she seemed to be scrambling to pack things.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly spoke up: "No rush, you pack slowly first, we have plenty of time today..."

"Mm, see you in a while... Baobao, thank you..."

Liu Xin'ai's mood sounded much better than during the first call, and she suddenly thanked Jiang Baobao solemnly.

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this, and a strange premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

Why did she feel... that Xinaijie suddenly missing Little Uncle meant she had something important to say?

Jiang Baobao frowned slightly and couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.

"Baobao?" Liu Xin'ai's voice rang out inside the car, pulling back Jiang Baobao's train of thought.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly responded, and the two confirmed the meeting place again before hanging up the phone.

Jiang Baobao, however, suddenly reached out and tapped the navigation, changing the route temporarily.

Twenty minutes later—

Her car stopped at the entrance of a shopping mall.

"Little Uncle, I'll take you to buy new clothes, how about that?"

Jiang Baobao glanced at the quiet Jiang Chenghao beside her and asked tentatively.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw him nod excitedly.

"New clothes! Buy new clothes!"

Jiang Chenghao understood Jiang Baobao's words and happily repeated these three words.

Only then did Jiang Baobao heave a sigh of relief and take him out of the car together.

As soon as the two walked into the mall, Jiang Chenghao began to look around curiously.

He hadn't been to a place like this for a long time.

Perhaps his look of feeling novelty was simply too eye-catching, and it immediately attracted quite a few curious gazes sizing him up.

Jiang Baobao held Jiang Chenghao's hand tightly and led him into a menswear store on the side that had the fewest people.

"Hello, Miss, are you here to buy clothes with your boyfriend?"

The shop assistant immediately walked up with a smile.

Jiang Chenghao was startled and immediately hid behind Jiang Baobao.

The shop assistant was also startled by his reaction and looked at the two with some confusion.

Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned, and only then did she realize in hindsight that bringing Jiang Chenghao here to buy clothes might have been a wrong decision.

She pondered for two seconds before saying in a low voice: "This is my family member; could you please find two shirts that fit his size, and some more casual pants..."

"Alright, Miss, please wait a moment." The shop assistant also reacted; Jiang Chenghao might have some mental issues, but she didn't say anything more, just smiled gently and turned to look for suitable clothes.

Not long after, she walked over with a few shirts and pants.

"Miss, do you think these are okay? This size should be something this gentleman can wear."

The shop assistant asked while handing the clothes in her hand to Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Baobao nodded and led Jiang Chenghao toward the direction of the fitting room, but for a moment, she suddenly felt a bit troubled.

She didn't know if Little Uncle would still know how to change clothes by himself...

Jiang Baobao sighed in her heart, and then, using the same tone she usually used when communicating with the little ones at home, looked at him and asked: "Little Uncle, shall we put on new clothes? You go in there to put them on, and I'll wait for you here."

"Put on... put on new clothes..." Jiang Chenghao muttered these words in a low voice and nodded obediently.

Yet, he looked at the direction of the fitting room with some hesitation, and said in a small, fearful voice: "Inside... dark..."

"There are lights inside, it won't be dark." Jiang Baobao blinked, having grasped some of the tricks to talking to him.

Only then did she coax him softly: "I'll be right outside, I'm not going anywhere. If you're scared, just knock on the door, and if I hear it, I'll knock on the door too, okay?"

"Mm-hmm..." Jiang Chenghao nodded, and only then did he obediently take the clothes and enter the fitting room.

Jiang Baobao, meanwhile, kept her promise and stood outside the door waiting for him.

Not long after, she heard two light knocks coming from behind the door.

"Knock, knock—"

Jiang Baobao smiled and immediately knocked on the door in response.

The room immediately fell silent, with only the faint sounds of changing clothes remaining.

After another while, the light knocking sound came again.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly responded.

The two of them continued to send signals to each other with knocks from time to time, and ten minutes later, Jiang Chenghao finally walked out of the fitting room.

The trousers he was wearing were still neat, but the buttons of his shirt were fastened all crookedly.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but shake her head with amusement, and she hurriedly walked up to straighten them out for him.

Looking at it now... since Uncle has no problem putting on clothes, at the very least his intelligence should be about the same as Mobai and the others' age...

Jiang Baobao thought to herself, her hands already nimbly helping Jiang Chenghao re-fasten the buttons neatly.

Looking at the neatly dressed Jiang Chenghao before her, she couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest again.

The last time she saw Uncle... was at her own wedding.

At that time, he was handsome and confident, and with a face full of concern, he told her that he would always be her strong backing.

But now...
