Chapter 321 – A surprise invitation
The next day.
Morning, at 8 am.
Dong Xuebing woke up on the sofa and saw Yu ixia and Yu Qianqian were already up.
Yu Qianqian sat on a chair, resting her chin on her hand, looking at Dong Xuebing. She should have been sitting there for ages waiting for Dong Xuebing to wake up. “Bro… Uncle! You woke up! What ti are we going out?”
Yu ixia, who was tying her hair in the bathroom, grumbled. “Let your Uncle sleep a while more.”
“Oh…” Yu Qianqian suppressed her excitent and said. “Uncle, go back to sleep.”
Dong Xuebing laughed and sat up. “I am not sleeping anymore. Let’s go out after breakfast. Hahaha…”
Yu Qianqian cheered up and ran over to bring Dong Xuebing’s clothes to him.
“Look at you. You are so anxious. Alright… alright… I will get ready now.” Dong Xuebing pinched Yu Qianqian’s nose lightly.
Yu ixia laughed helplessly. “Xiao Bing, go and wash up. I will go out to throw the trash and will prepare breakfast when I return.”
“I will go!” Yu Qianqian shouted excitedly. “Mum, hurry up and prepare breakfast!”
Yu ixia looks at her daughter. “What’s the rush?” She took out the trash from the bathroom and walks out. “I will return soon. Go and help your Uncle charge his shaver.” Yu ixia dares not let her daughter takes out the trash as there is evidence of what she did with Dong Xuebing inside. As she was tying up the trash bag, she saw they had used eight condoms, and she blushed.
After breakfast, Yu Qianqian pulled Dong Xuebing and Yu ixia’s hands down the stairs excitedly.
The three of them walks around Beijing’s streets in the morning, and they brought Qianqian to Xiangshan Park.
On the way ho, Yu Qianqian is dead tired but still excited.
Yu ixia patted her daughter’s head. “Did you have enough fun?”
“Yes!” Yu Qianqian nodded. “Mum, are we going back to the County soon?”
“Yes… it’s ti to return.”
Dong Xuebing looks at them from the rearview mirror. “I will bring you to Beijing on your next school break. We will visit the rest of the attractions then.”
Yu Qianqian cheered. “Thank you, Uncle!”
Dong Xuebing looks at his watch. It’s 3 pm.
Dong Xuebing had been away from the County for so days and had brought the mother and daughter around Beijing these two days. It’s ti for them to return to Yan Tai County. So, after they returned to North Heping Road, they discussed and will return to the County after dinner. Yan Tai County is only two hours’ drive away from Beijing. They have so ti before dinner, and they started packing before going to the supermarket to get so local products to bring back.
Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.
After paying at the cashier, Dong Xuebing looked at his phone and signaled to the mother and daughter to keep quiet.
Yu ixia went over to help him carry the local products.
“Hello, Sister Xie.” Dong Xuebing answered.
Xie Huilan asked. “Are you back in the County?”
“I am going back at night and should reach the County before midnight.” Dong Xuebing thought Xie Huilan was blaming him for skipping work.
Xie Huilan laughed and said. “Since you are not back yet, wait for in Beijing.”
“Huh? What did you say?” Dong Xuebing was surprised.
“I am on my way to Beijing. We will return together tomorrow.”
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. “… you are coming to Beijing? For work?”
“You can say so.” Dong Xuebing can hear sounds of passing cars, and Xie Huilan seems to be on the highway. “It’s almost six months since I returned ho, and I am free these two days. So, I decided to return ho to celebrate an early Lunar New Year. I will be too busy during Lunar New Year and will not have ti to visit my family.” She paused for a second and continued. “Yes, I will reach my grandfather’s place at about 6 pm, and you should arrive there at about the sa ti, ok?”
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “Err… I have to go too?”
“Haha, is there any problem?”
“Is it really fine for to go?”
Xie Huilan laughed. “My mum asked you to go. You can decide.”
Mdm. Han wants to go?! Then Dong Xuebing had no choice. “Then… alright. I will be there.”
“Today is considered an early reunion, and my Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, and the rest should be there too. A few others from the sa generation will also be there. You must watch your manners, and don’t behave like the last ti you are at my Grandfather’s house. Try to leave a good impression on them. Oh, do you still have that type of Wild Ginseng you gave to my mother previously? I was in a rush to return and forgot to bring any gifts. If you still have Wild Ginseng, bring one box over, as our gift to my Grandfather.”
“I should still have it. I will bring it along later.”
“Ok. I am driving and will hang up now.”
“Alright. Be careful on the roads.” Dong Xuebing hangs up.
Yu ixia looks at Dong Xuebing. “Is there any problem? If you are busy, you can just ignore us.”
Dong Xuebing replied apologetically. “Sorry. I can’t return today, as I have a dinner appointnt. I should be going back tomorrow. You two…”
Yu ixia quickly replied. “Then, we will return to the County first.”
Dong Xuebing said. “Ah… Is it alright?”
“It’s fine. You had been accompanying … us these few days, and I…”
Dong Xuebing wants to return with Sister Yu and Qianqian tomorrow. Still, Xie Huilan wants him to return to the County with her tomorrow. Dong Xuebing is not willing to let both won et, as he felt guilty towards them. Thus, Dong Xuebing brought Yu ixia and Qianqian back to get their luggage before sending them to the bus terminal. Along the way, he bought so food for them.”
“We… We are going.” Yu ixia looks at Dong Xuebing in his eyes for the first ti.
Qianqian waved to Dong Xuebing reluctantly. “Bye, Uncle.”
Dong Xuebing smiles. “Why do you all make it sounds like we are parting forever? I will be going back tomorrow and will see you all again.”
Yu ixia looked at Dong Xuebing gently and nodded.
Dong Xuebing understood her feelings, and he returned a knowing look.
Sister Yu blushed and looks at Dong Xuebing one last ti, before walking away with her daughter.
Dong Xuebing watched them until they disappeared from his sight.
Xie Huilan’s mother, Han Jing, had invited Dong Xuebing suddenly, and this caught him off guard. Dong Xuebing is going to Xie Mansion to et Senior Xie again. Dong Xuebing is not afraid, as he had quarreled with Senior Xie over Xie Huilan’s engagent, and even talked back to him in front of others. This ti, they will et again, and who knows how Senior Xie and the rest of the Xie’s family will treat him?
