"Ring..."
The phone rang, and Tang Yue answered as if by telepathy. On the other end ca ng Siyu’s distinct voice, deep and resonant. Carried over the phone, it had an indescribable pleasantness.
Every ti Tang Yue heard his voice over the phone, her mood lifted with joy.
"Sweetheart, I miss you," said ng Siyu, his tone rising playfully on the last word when he called her ’sweetheart,’ teasingly distinctive.
Tang Yue felt a sweet warmth in her heart, snuggling into the sofa, she shifted to a comfier position before responding, "How did you know it was ?"
"This is our ho, who else could it be but you?" questioned ng Siyu in return.
Even through the phone, one could sense ng Siyu’s light laughter.
Tang Yue’s lips curved up involuntarily, her voice coy, "Then you guessed wrong. Mom and dad have co to Jing City, they’re even planning to open a restaurant here."
"Mom and Dad are here?" ng Siyu sounded surprised, asking, "Sweetheart, isn’t Xiao Jun about to take his college entrance exam?"
ng Siyu was well aware of the family matters at Tang Yue’s side.
With Tang Jun facing his college entrance exams in the first half of the year, why would his in-laws decide to move to Jing City now?
"Sweetheart, you haven’t run into any trouble, have you?" ng Siyu quickly followed up with concern.
"I’m fine," Tang Yue replied, her hand resting on her abdon as she imagined ng Siyu’s astonished expression. Changing the subject, she asked, "When are you coming back to Jing City?"
"April," answered ng Siyu, adding, "In thirty days I’ll return to Jing City. Do you want to eat so Jin City baked buns? I can bring you a few when I co back."
"Sure," Tang Yue laughed in response and added a few more Jin City specialties to her wish list.
Even though separated by the phone and vast distances, their hearts felt incredibly close.
"Husband, I have a big surprise for you when you return to Jing City," Tang Yue said mysteriously before hanging up the phone.
ng Siyu wanted to ask more, but Tang Yue had already ended the call.
’Du du du’
The busy tone sounded, leaving ng Siyu’s heart hanging on the surprise Tang Yue had ntioned. Her voice, clear as a silver bell, seed to linger in his ears. Those brief fifteen minutes on the phone were what he looked forward to the most.
These days, with the business keeping him busy, it had been a long ti since he last heard his wife’s voice.
"ng Siyu, look at you!" Qin Anhao followed behind ng Siyu, unable to resist saying, "I didn’t call anyone so I could spare a few minutes for you."
"Grandpa Qin is waiting for you," ng Siyu turned and walked away, then paused, turned back, and said to Qin Anhao, "You don’t have a wife, naturally, you wouldn’t understand the feeling."
With those words, ng Siyu strode away.
Qin Anhao watched his retreating figure, eyes bulging with annoyance. So what if he was married?
So what if I don’t have a wife?
An Hao took a deep breath, thinking that Grandpa Qin’s health hadn’t been great lately, so he called him.
At first, when asking about his grandfather’s health, the conversation between the two was quite normal and good, but as they spoke, An Hao began to feel choked up.
"An Hao, your sister An Yu is already married and has had a child, you are an uncle now, when are you going to bring a granddaughter-in-law, so I can be a grandpa again?" Grandpa Qin was teasing An Yu’s child today and was in a good mood, but thinking about how An Hao, at his age, still wasn’t married and hadn’t given him a grandson.
Half of Grandpa Qin’s good mood had vanished.
"Grandpa, finding a wife isn’t like picking cabbages, if one isn’t right, you just pick another one, is it?" An Hao couldn’t help but clear his ears and said, "Grandpa, you should take good care of yourself; I’m going to hang up now."
With that said, An Hao decisively hung up the phone.
Is not having a wife such a big sin?
He wasn’t old yet, and Grandpa Qin’s body was still fine, although he occasionally had minor issues, but overall, his health was quite robust. So why was Grandpa Qin so anxious for him to get married and have grandchildren?

"Xiao Yue, when did you co back?"
An Yu brought her child back to live in Jianan Prefecture and found that Tang Yue was back. She pushed the door open, saw Tang Yue working on her designs in the studio, and excitedly ran up to hug her, saying, "Xiao Yue, you’re too much, coming back without even telling ."
"I heard Xiao Jin was ill, and you were staying at the Qin Family’s place, so I didn’t have ti to see you. How is Xiao Jin now?" Tang Yue’s gaze drifted past An Yu’s shoulder, looking for Chu Huaijin who hadn’t co.
"He’s asleep, doing well." An Yu sat down next to Tang Yue and sized her up asking, "Xiao Yue, do I feel like you’ve gained a little weight?"
"Have I?" Tang Yue pinched her waist, not feeling any fatter. Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian had made her a lot of delicious food recently, and her appetite had been very good.
"A little bit, I guess, but you were slim to begin with, and now you look just right." An Yu wasn’t dwelling too much on it, asking with a hint of secrecy, "You stayed in Jin City for a while, didn’t you? Did you see my brother?"
"I did." Tang Yue nodded, recalling how Xie Ziyao was constantly pestering An Hao in competitions, unsure if she should ntion it.
An Yu asked with a curious face, "Does my brother have a girlfriend? Or, are there any girls who like him?"
Grandpa Qin had been nagging about when An Hao would get married, and as his sister, her ears had grown calluses from hearing it. Moreover, she was now living happily with Chu Hong and naturally hoped that An Hao could find a partner as well.
"There are." Tang Yue just answered.
An Yu’s excited and thrilled expression seed even more joyous than if she had a girlfriend herself.
"What’s her na? How old is she? Is she pretty?" An Yu bombarded her with excited questions, all coming out in a rush, leaving Tang Yue unsure of how to respond.
"Sister An Yu, Brother Qin doesn’t like any of them," Tang Yue said helplessly, spreading her hands and narrating what she knew from Jin City.
An Hao was good-looking and held a major’s rank, just like Si Yu, and there were definitely not a few who had secret crushes on him. However, An Hao had dismissed them all.
"Alas, I don’t know what kind of fairy my brother is waiting for."
An Yu ruffled her hair and said, "ng Siyu has married you, and he still isn’t married. Really, I don’t know what he’s like. Jin City’s schools are said to be very large; how could there not be pretty girls there?"
"Forget him, Xiao Yue, our collaboration with Lucy has officially started. Star Bright has specifically added two production lines for France, dedicated to Lucy’s needs." An Yu explained that French won and Huaxia won have different stature requirents, and there were so differences in sizes, after all.
"That’s good, Jin Yan is doing a great job as an assistant," Tang Yue praised.
