Chapter 1558: Chapter 1272

...

It was already New Year’s Eve.

Around ten o’clock in the afternoon, Kang Li received a call from the Jiang family old house. It was Jiang Boya.

”Lili! Lili, did you hear what Dad was saying?”

Jiang Boya had been talking on the phone for about three or four minutes without hearing a response from Kang Li, so he raised his voice. It was at this moment that Kang Li finally replied, ”Dad, I heard everything, but... didn’t we agree half a month ago that on New Year’s Eve I’d first have a reunion dinner with the kids at my parents’ place, then I’d bring the kids to the old house to join you and Grandfather...”

Kang Li’s words were cut off by Jiang Boya: ”It’s not that Dad didn’t think it over; it’s just that your parents have plenty of people around them for New Year’s Eve, while Dad and your Grandfather only have you all, our close family. Lili, how about scratching the previous plan, and why not bring the kids over now, is that okay?”

”Dad...”

Kang Li’s bright eyes were filled with helplessness, even her voice was, as she said, ”Dad, don’t be emotional, okay? My parents indeed have many children and grandchildren, and there will indeed be a lot of people there for dinner tonight,

but I am me, and no one can represent me. If I don’t go, my parents will definitely be heartbroken. Besides, the New Year’s Eve dinner is also called a reunion dinner. If my parents lack me by their side, can you still call it a family reunion?”

For a moment, there was no sound from the other end of the phone, so Kang Li couldn’t help but softly call, ”Dad! Dad, are you listening to me? I know, you’ve been exhausted with New Year’s preparations lately, so now you’re dozing off, right? Oh dear, Dad, if you’re dozing, then doze, I promise not to laugh at you. Can you hear, am I not laughing?”

Jiang Boya held back but couldn’t help it, he let out a chuckle. With a tone filled with indulgence and helplessness, he said, ”Alright, alright, let’s stick with what we originally planned.”

”So you’re not upset?” Kang Li asked with a smile.

”Upset? Am I?”

Jiang Boya wouldn’t admit it; he just wanted his darling daughter to come to the old house earlier to celebrate New Year’s Eve and have a reunion dinner with him.

”No, no, my Dad has a heart as big as the prime minister’s, not like us girls who love to sulk!” Kang Li spoke in a tone like coaxing a child, and how could Jiang Boya not hear it on the other end of the phone?

He shook his head with a smile, ”Remember to bring the kids over early, Dad and your Grandfather will wait for you to arrive before having dinner. Also, don’t drive too fast on your way here, and make sure you pay attention to safety!”

”Dad, isn’t what you’re saying a bit contradictory? Think back, you want me to get to the old house early, yet you also want me to drive slow. Isn’t that hard to do?!”

Kang Li pretended to be troubled, and it wasn’t difficult to hear it in her voice. Naturally, Jiang Boya could hear it too, and he laughed loudly, ”Alright, it’s Dad who can’t speak well, but Dad still hopes you can arrive at the old house early while driving safely.”

”Got it!”

This time Kang Li agreed cheerfully, she said, ”I’ll try to get the kids to the old house by ten o’clock.”

Jiang Boya: ”Then it’s settled!”

Kang Li promised, ”Don’t worry, I definitely won’t renege!”

...

”Mom, whose call was it?”

Ming Han walked in from outside the living room, just in time to see Kang Li hang up the phone, and couldn’t help but ask.

”Your grandpa called, asking what time we’re heading to the old house tonight.” As she spoke, Kang Li stood up, ”Where’s your brother and the others?”

”They’re by the yard gate watching Bun and Tangyuan and Guoguo play with other kids, Luo Mingwei is also there.” Hearing Ming Han’s words, Kang Li opened her mouth as if to say something, just then, Ming Wei’s voice came from the yard, ”Mom! Dad is back!”

Kang Li was momentarily stunned, then her beautiful eyebrows slightly arched as she saw Ming Wei run into the living room. Before Kang Li could speak, Ming Han said, ”Is Dad on holiday now?”

”Yes, yes, yes! Dad is on holiday, for a full five days!” Ming Wei’s face was full of smiles, nodding happily. Upon hearing this, Ming Han was also clearly happy, but he said, ”Look how happy you are.”

”Mom, Mom! Dad is back!”

This was Guoguo’s voice.

”Xiao Li...”

Luo Yanqing walked into the living room holding Guoguo.

Min Rui followed closely, holding Bun and Tangyuan.

”You’re back.”

Kang Li stood in the center of the living room, her bright eyes locked on the man’s exceptionally handsome face: ”I was just about to take the kids to my parents’, now that you’re back, we’ll head out together.”
