Chapter 1428: Chapter 1429: No Answer To The Phone Call
“Hahaha.” Rong Yan laughed so hard she rocked back and forth, thoroughly unapologetic as she slapped her thigh, “So well-behaved. When she grows up, she can marry our Little Baby. I’ve always been worried that Little Baby is too cunning; he might bully someone too much one day and get a group beating. With Momo protecting him, I feel relieved.”
“Stop it, if she hears you, she’ll end up writing a new essay called ‘I Want to Become Auntie Rong Yan’s Daughter-in-Law’ for school, and they’ll call me in to read it. Spare me, please~” Estelle glanced at her reproachfully, her mouth twitching as she spoke, “The day the teacher called me to the office, hesitantly asking me to read her essay, I was so embarrassed… Can you imagine my face turning beet red while reading it in the office? Your child is too evilly charming. So likeable at such a young age, no telling how popular she’ll be among the girls when she grows up. My own little dummy, forget about it. Not to be disparaging, but with her dopey ways, I can’t see her growing up to be someone who’d pursue Duidui.”
Which girl has the goal of chasing a boy by practicing Taekwondo, training herself to be sturdy, and then fighting with other little boys, grinding a bully to the ground in front of the boy she likes, protecting others…
Estelle felt her temples throbbing just imagining that scene.
And yet, Little Tyrant at home has actually taken it seriously, pestering her father to sign her up for Taekwondo classes these past few days.
After laughing till her eyes teared up, Rong Yan said seriously, “It’s hard to say, Little Baby’s character, how should I put it… matured too early. Sometimes too much cleverness can’t mingle with peers. Perhaps Momo, with her pure and clean nature, could walk into his life. Let’s see what the future holds, we might end up becoming in-laws~”
Estelle has no faith in her own doltish daughter, and said, “Anyway, are you free after you finish work? Want to have dinner together?”
“It’s too late for that, and I’m too lazy to head back and make something. I might as well just eat something casual outside.”
Rong Yan clicked open the message from Li Shengxiao, zoomed in on the screenshot, smiled, and rose from the sofa saying, “No, I have a movie date with someone else. Let’s schedule another time.”
“Someone else?” Estelle raised her eyebrows teasingly, “You mean Mr. Li, right? I almost forgot that today seems like Qixi – the Chinese Valentine’s Day. No wonder you’re not dining with me. Go on, young people doing things over the top is totally normal, this married woman here will stay and continue her work.”
Rong Yan felt her ears heating up from the tease, closed her laptop, and put it into her bag. Picking up her coat, she said, “I’ve finished up pretty much everything; even if he’s not pleased, he can’t cause any disturbance. You shouldn’t work too late, head home early. I’m off, bye Estelle.”
The capable woman behind the desk, entirely focused back on her work, waved her hand casually, “Go on and have your date~ Bye.”
Rong Yan left the company with her things.
She dialed a certain person’s number in the elevator, wanting to ask if he had eaten yet. If not, they could have dinner together before seeing the movie.
Unexpectedly, the call went through but nobody answered.
“Huh?”
She found it strange as she exited the elevator and left the company, then made another call. The same thing happened— the call went through but no one picked up.
She sent several messages at the street corner—
[Dear boyfriend, are you still busy?]
[In a meeting?]
[I saw the movie you mentioned. Our show is at 7:30 PM, it’s now 6 o’clock, do you want to have dinner together?]
