Chapter 421: An Accidental Call

At the other side as Yunru and Zizi stepped into the house, a loud cracker popped and confetti rained upon them. Zizi's heart had almost stopped beating as she gasped.

Zizi had already arranged for Soo Enlai's flight back to Beijing this morning while they followed the next one.

"Congratulations!" Soo Enlai danced in happiness.

Yunru said, "Dad, you popped the crackers too late. My birthday is over."

"Idiot. This is for your promotion and the medal. I am so proud of you. You have Meili's capable genes. Naturally, you will be awesome."

He chuckled. "I thought you would take the credit."

He fumed. "How dare I? You and Xinyi are amazing because my wife was so amazing. I don't dare snatch what belongs to her. And now."

Soo Enlai took another cracker and popped it. More confetti rained.

Zizi laughed. "What is this for?"

He gave them a sly look. "What else? It's my pre celebration for the good news I will hear very soon."

Yunru choked. Zizi was confused. "Ah? What good news?"

"Aiya. Why act so innocent now? Didn't you have a 'fun' night last night thanks to my super awesome gift?" He grinned. "It is possible that I will soon get the news of becoming a grandfather again! No, I am sure of it. I am celebrating in advance hehe~"

Zizi's eyes almost popped out of her sockets. "T-that…"

Yunru quickly pulled her back. He sternly said, "Dad, don't scare Princess."

He pouted. "What is to be afraid of? You are going to get engaged anyway. There is nothing wrong if a baby comes along too."

Zizi furiously blushed. 

Yunru cleared his throat. "Dad, don't make her uncomfortable."

Zizi hit his arm. "You…I am not uncomfortable at all. I am just a little shy. Why are you complaining? Don't you want to see a little Yunru?" 

"..."

Soo Enlai laughed. "Hahaha! See? I knew it. Yunru is always so uptight!"

Yunru grimaced.

This father-daughter pair are always on one side!

He didn't dare to imagine how his life would be after his marriage. He would be completely sidelined!

And the sidelining had already started now when Zizi and Soo Enlai were lost in their own world.

"..."

Ah, God please help me in the future from these two devils…

Zizi eagerly said, "Oh yes! Let me share Yunru's promotion's good news to the gang! Everybody will be so thrilled. Then we will have to plan a party too!"

Soo Enlai excitedly nodded. "Yes, yes! We will make Yunru empty all his pockets! He has to give us a grand celebration! Chief Soo. I hope you don't be stingy."

His mouth twitched.

Back in her room, Zizi first called Ah Cy. Needless to say, Liang shamelessly demanded a party.

"Don't worry. I won't let Yunru escape. The party will definitely happen."

Ah Cy chuckled. "Party is fine and all, but why do I sense that your voice is even more cheerful? Did the birthday party end in something naughty?"

Zizi sheepishly grinned.

"Oh my gosh! Did you two finally do it!?" She squealed. "How was it? What place did you choose? Did you use protection? Ahhh I want to know everything!"

Zizi heard Liang coughing from Ah Cy's side. "Ah Cy. That's too personal..."

"Shut up. Don't act as if you men are not gonna gossip about this. I know you are gonna grill Yunru like crazy, especially XU LIANG."

"*Cough cough*"

Zizi giggled. "We will talk about it at the party."

She hung up and then called Xinyi. Xinyi and Zhiyuan were naturally thrilled about it, and Xinyi said she would come visit them soon too.

But her mood dampened a bit when Xinyi told her about Xia Liqin leaving.

"Oh," Zizi bit her lip. "Mom is really leaving?"

Zizi was already used to her and Han Tian's presence now and even secretly hoped that they would get back together somehow. But that hope now seemed to be…

Xinyi softly said, "Don't worry, Zizi. Zhiyuan and I will try our best to stop her. Mom and Dad still love each other. We have to get them closer."

Hearing this, Zizi's spirit fired up. "Really!? I will support you too! They are just uselessly torturing themselves. We will not let this happen! Enough is enough already. It's time they reunite."

Zhiyuan chuckled. "Yes, yes. If all of us are together, then nothing is impossible."

Zizi talked some more and cut the call. She felt excited at the prospect of her parents reuniting. If it really happened, then everybody will be happy, and everything will be perfect.

She wanted to call Shuang next, but she suddenly felt at a loss.

Shuang…

After that reunion gathering night, there was still an awkward distance between them. They hadn't really talked since.

She thought about it but couldn't hit the dial button. She sighed.

I will call her at the end. Let me talk to Caihong first!

The phone rang a few times, and she wondered why she wasn't picking up.

Oh, is she with Xiaosi in the hospital? If it's the visiting time, then she won't pick up…

She was about to hang up, but then she heard a click.

"...Hello?"

Zizi blinked her eyes.

Huh?

It wasn't Caihong's voice as she had expected. Instead, it was a familiar voice that made her stiffen upon realization.

She pulled back her phone and widened her eyes seeing the number flashing on her screen.

Huh!? How did I call Uncle An by mistake?

She bit her lower lip and shut her eyes in embarrassment.

The situation with him was similar to Shuang. There was an awkward atmosphere since they got to know about their real relationship.

Zizi tried to smile. "H-Hello…"

She nervously shifted her weight from one foot to another.

An Guoting said, "I was surprised to see your name. Is-is there any help you need?" He was just as anxious as her.

She bit her tongue.

I am so stupid! Will it not look rude to say now that it was a mistake?

"I am sorry...I-It was an accident…"

"Oh. No problem. It's good as long as you are okay."

Zizi felt guilty.

"...Well then," he said.

She felt something odd with his voice. "W-wait!"

"Yes?"

"Are you okay?"

There was a pause.

"Y-Yes, I am. Why won't I be?"

She frowned. "Somehow, you don't sound well."

An Guoting said, "I am alright…Really."

Zizi said nothing. 

"Where are you right now?"

"Me? At home."

"Okay. Wait for me.. I am coming."
