Chapter 18 She's Afraid of Me?!

one battery runs out, there's definitely no way to charge it, so she always cherishes it and is reluctant to turn it on.It had been so long since I last touched the phone screen. I quickly glanced thr...Master Jun glanced at her, as if he didn't mind her having overheard their conversation.

A voice, aged and commanding, cautioned, "Try to avoid contact with electronic radiation as much as possible during pregnancy." The old man's gaze fell upon the mobile phone lying shattered on the floor.

Qiao Bao'er quickly picked up her phone and replied, "I know."

"Ma'am, since it's almost New Year's, we propose holding your and Master's wedding after the New Year. As you're pregnant and might find traveling tiring, we suggest a simple ceremony with only important guests present. We can then hold a grand full moon banquet after the baby is born." The old butler informed her about the wedding arrangements.

"Okay."

Joe Baby didn't have any objections to this, and after the child was born, she would probably have left the Jun family.

But as the new year approached, Qiao Bao'er remembered another thing - her aunt might have already returned to her apartment.

“About your aunt...”

The old man, as if he had guessed what she was thinking, spoke first in a low voice, his gaze fixed on her with an appraising look.

"Your aunt Gu Ruyue has a congenital heart disease. We have already contacted the hospital and are actively searching for a suitable donor..."

Jo Bao'er was stunned by this, her eyes slightly red.

What worried her most was her aunt's illness, which had grown progressively worse over the past few years. She watched helplessly as her beloved relative, who she relied on deeply, became increasingly frail and emaciated.

"Thank you," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.

She never imagined that Old Master Jun would be willing to help her so much. If he could really save her aunt's life, she would do anything for him.

Qiao Bao'er looked up and again glanced at Jun Lao Ye, who was sitting at the front of the sofa. She asked cautiously, "Grandpa, can I go back for a bit"

Mr. Jun sat with an air of authority, his old eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at her for a long time without answering. Instead, he turned his head away and ignored her.

Qiao Bao'er saw that this venerable old man ignored her, and for a moment, she was a little worried.

"We won't restrict your personal freedom," the old butler said kindly.

Saying this, the butler ordered a maid outside to call the driver and send her back to her small apartment in the old district.

Qiao Bao'er cast a grateful glance at the old butler, and finally said respectfully to Mr. Jun, "Grandpa, I'll go out first."

Qiao Bao'er walked to the door with her steps restrained, following the maid.

"Do I look so scary!"

Just as Qiao Baier walked out the gate, Old Master Jun spoke in a calm but somewhat displeased voice, "She's afraid of me"

The old butler couldn't help but chuckle, "Master, besides the young master, who else is afraid of you."

Even renowned figures and wealthy merchants from the outside world show respect and caution towards Old Master Jun, let alone Qiao Bao'er, who is just a common woman. After all, both Old Master Jun and his grandson have similar temperaments and are difficult to approach.

"Grandpa, it seems like you really like this Qiao Bao'er."

"Who said I like her!" Old Master Jun's face was complicated, his eyebrows furrowed. "I just think this Qiao Baier is a little better than that Liu Yiyin before."

The old butler smiled lightly and said nothing.

Qiao Bao'er sat in Jun's car, returning to her former apartment.

"Could you please stop here I'll go into the apartment complex myself..."

qiao baoer suddenly spoke to the driver, saying that a renowned car like Junjia's would inevitably attract gossip from the neighbors, and she disliked being in the spotlight.

"Okay, mistress, I'll be waiting for you here. Please be careful."

The driver agreed, not forgetting to remind her, after all, this child belongs to the Jun family, if anything happens to him, no one can afford it.

Jo Baoer nodded at him, opened the car door, and walked out.

This five-story old apartment building has no elevator, and even the streetlights are old and poorly maintained. Because this area is an old district and quite far from the city center, the rent is relatively cheap.

She climbed the stairs and finally reached the fifth floor. She took out her keys to open the door, but she saw that it had already been opened.

Jo Bao'er's face was filled with joy, she must be happy that her aunt has returned from the nursing home.

"Auntie, you're back!" She pushed open the door and hurried inside.

But as soon as she walked in, she saw a man standing in her small living room...men, while elders are respected male elders. 。Besides the elder of Outcast Island, there has always been a rumor in the Strozzi Archipelago that there are eight elders in total. The other seven elders...
