The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

Li Changpu was outside the house and saw through the window that Jiang Tingxia had arrived home. He first called out, "Tingxia," and then strode into the house. The usually calm man's steps now seemed a little hurried.

Jiang Tingxia didn't understand and walked towards him, "What's wrong?"

Li Changpu spoke quickly, "We have to go back to my hometown. Do you think you can take a leave from work? Or should I ask for it for you?"

"Let me go to your hometown with you? Why so suddenly? Is there something urgent?"

Li Changpu nodded, "Urgent! We have to set off in the next two days, the sooner the better."

Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu in confusion, and Li Changpu said, "My sister..."

Just as Li Changpu was about to speak, Jin Xiaowen came into the room with his sister, "Uncle, aunt, we are back from school."

Seeing Jin Xiaowen and her sister, Li Changpu, who was originally talking, suddenly stopped and asked, "Where is Xiaobao? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Jin Xiaowen replied: "He went to the activity center with his classmates to play table tennis with someone."

When Jin Xiaowen said this, he felt a little nervous, fearing that his uncle would be unhappy that Jin Xiaobao did not go home after school and played outside. However, Li Changpu did not ask much today and waved his hand, "Okay, I get it, Xiaowen, you take your sister to read for a while."

Jin Xiaowen brought Jin Xiaoyu into the house. Li Changpu looked at the backs of the two little girls and took Jiang Tingxia into the bedroom.

Li Changpu went into the house and closed the door.

"What's the matter? And we need to talk about it behind closed doors?"

Li Changpu turned around and said, "My sister sent a telegram saying that the children's father has been seriously ill and is dying."

Jiang Tingxia felt sad when she thought of Jin Xiaowen and the others. The child was so young and yet he lost his father.

Li Changpu said: "So, let's set off as soon as possible and take the three children back."

"You haven't been to my hometown since we got married. I'll take you back there."

Li Changpu added: "Besides, you are my brother's sister, so you still have to be present at such an important event."

Jiang Tingxia knew about the relationship between Li Changpu and his eldest sister. She heard that their mother died of illness when Li Changpu was a child. After that, their father remarried and their stepmother gave birth to another son. Their family members were not kind to them, and they had to depend on each other for survival.

Relatives who depend on each other must have a deep affection for each other. He must be very sad to see his elder sister encounter such a big thing.

Jiang Tingxia agreed, "The group is not busy recently, and the group leader will approve my request for a few days off. Don't worry." Jiang Tingxia picked up her coat and was about to go out. "I'll go find Group Leader Qian now. I can leave anytime after I get my leave."

Li Changpu stopped her and said, "Don't go out. Just promise to go back."

"I also need to go to school to ask for leave for several children. I'll talk to Captain Qian."

Jiang Tingxia put on her coat and said, "No need. You go to school and I'll go find Captain Qian. This will be faster and save you from wasting time running around."

"It's okay. The children can apply for leave the day after tomorrow, leaving one day in between," Li Changpu said with worry and sadness in her eyes. "If it's too sudden, Xiaowen and the others will be scared. I thought we should keep my brother-in-law's affairs a secret from the children first, so they will know when we get back home."

"I told them that my elder sister asked me to take them back home and not to tell them anything else for now."

Jiang Tingxia understood what Li Changpu meant, "Okay, then you can take a leave. I'll pack some clothes to take with me."

The things were easy to clean up, except for the big dog. Jiang Tingxia had originally thought of asking friends and neighbors to help take care of the dog for a few days, but An Xi was pregnant, and Chu Dan was also pregnant, so it was not suitable for them to raise small animals. The big dog had also grown into a lively and active little tabby cat, jumping around the house and knocking over bottles and jars from time to time. If An Xi and Chu Dan got hurt because of helping her raise the cats, she could not take the responsibility.

Jiang Tingxia put a cotton pillow into the cardboard box and set off with the big dog.

In order to save time and as the people travelling with them were all women and children, Li Changpu borrowed a jeep and drove Jiang Tingxia and the three children home.

Jiang Tingxia put the cardboard box at his feet, and looked at the big dog sleeping soundly with its tail as a pillow, and showing no signs of discomfort, so he felt relieved.

Jin Xiaowen sat in the back seat and asked, "Uncle, did my mother ask you to take us home?"

Li Changpu held the steering wheel and just hummed lightly. He didn't want to talk about this topic too early in front of the children. He thought that he could hide it for a while, so he was very indifferent.

Fortunately, he is usually a quiet person in front of children, so the children didn't notice anything unusual.

Seeing Li Changpu's grim expression, Jiang Tingxia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and spoke to Jin Xiaowen, "Xiaowen, you three have been away from home for almost half a year. You have been living with me and your uncle for years. Do you miss your mother and the others?"

Jin Xiaowen nodded, "I thought about it."

"When we left home, my mother said she would take us back as soon as she could."

There was some joy in her eyes. "Last month we wrote a letter to my mother and asked my uncle to mail it for us. I didn't expect that they would take us back so soon."

For Jin Xiaowen, although living with her uncle and aunt was good, with enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and school to go to, and her aunt also taught her skills, as the eldest sister, she needed to be cautious when living with her younger brothers and sisters in someone else's home. The responsibility weighed heavily on her head, and she didn't dare to show it on her face, but in her heart she was always worried about her mother's situation.

It's nice to go back.

Jin Xiaobao leaned against the window, his little head pressed against the glass, and watched the trees quickly passing by in a line outside the house. He spoke with a tone of sorrow that only adults would have, "I wonder if my dad is feeling better. I've been thinking about him."

Hearing Jin Xiaobao's words, Jiang Tingxia's heart trembled. She looked at Jin Xiaobao in the rearview mirror with sadness. She and Li Changpu looked at each other. Neither of them spoke, and there was helplessness in their eyes.

Li Changpu drove directly to the city hospital. The three children couldn't wait to get out of the car and ran straight to the ward. Li Changpu and Jiang Tingxia walked behind, watching over the safety of the three children.

In the corridor, three children, Jin Xiaowen, Jin Xiaobao and Jin Xiaoyu, ran towards a woman and surrounded her, calling her mother.

Jiang Tingxia understood, that was Li Changpu's elder sister.
