Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 927 - 929: Want to Be an Older Brother

In the evening, Zhao Xuran called Gong Ruini again at the usual time, but this time Gong Ruzhi showed no intention of avoiding.

Previously, he wanted to give Sister Ni some space to talk more with Brother Xu Ran, but today Gong Ruzhi was in a bad mood, regardless of how Gong Ruini’s gaze escalated into a missile, he just wouldn’t leave.

Hmm, he didn’t believe Sister Ni would avoid talking about the letter, and if he left, he would surely regret it.

Did he think staying would allow him to find out the contents of her reply? Gong Ruini thought it was only Gong Ruzhi who was curious, but when she turned her head, she was truly at her wit’s end.

Everyone was holed up in the living room, listening to her take the call, with no previous signs of avoiding suspicion. "Mom, you all..."

"The living room is lively, the room is quiet." Cai Meina jumped in first, she was also curious about what Zhao Xuran said to her daughter.

"Right, right." Gong Tao thought he should give his daughter some space, but couldn’t resist his wife’s unwillingness to; helplessly, he was also stuck in the living room.

With a furrowed brow, since everyone was crowded in the living room, Gong Ruini went along with them and talked about today’s tasks, while also listening to Zhao Xuran share the matters he encountered.

The topics were indistinguishable from past conversations, if it weren’t for this letter, everyone wouldn’t feel any issue; however, why is it that despite clearly sending a letter, she wouldn’t mention it or talk about the reply?

Gong Ruzhi’s eyes twinkled, "Sis, you didn’t tell Brother Xu Ran about receiving the letter." Hmm, since they didn’t bring it up, he’d create the opportunity.

This troublesome kid, Gong Ruini didn’t mention it not just to avoid their spectating but also to make Zhao Xuran anxious a bit—knowing that she had already sent a letter, why wouldn’t he bring it up?

She glared fiercely at Gong Ruzhi until the latter dared not kick up any more trouble.

Oh my, Sister’s gaze is terrifying, at this moment Gong Ruzhi truly regretted standing out; everyone was enjoying the show, why did he act so boldly? Now, having caught Sister’s attention, and perhaps Brother Xu Ran’s as well, would he have any good days ahead?

Gong Ruzhi could predict how his future days would be, alas.

Gong Ruzhi looked towards Gong Ruwen and the others, hmm, each one bullying him because he was easygoing.

Gong Ruwen felt it was a pity his brother chickened out so easily, lacking the manly spirit. As for Gong Ruzhi’s slightly resentful glance, Gong Ruwen had no intention of avoiding eye contact, just staring right back.

None of them are easy to bully, Gong Ruzhi really wanted to cry. He wished mom would have another child, a brother, so he could scold him harshly, rather than being the pitiable kid who gets bullied by everyone.

"Mom, I want a brother, a real brother." Gong Ruzhi seriously delivered this bombshell to Cai Meina, whose attention was on Gong Ruini.

Another one? Not to mention the family planning, even if there weren’t, Cai Meina never intended to have another child, not just because of her age, but also genuinely lacking the energy to raise another.

"It’s enough raising you three, no more births." In a few years Gong Ruwen would be married with kids, how would she be seen as a grandmother having another child?

Gong Ruzhi was very unhappy, continuously making noise as to why he didn’t have a brother.

Gong Tao was amused by his youngest son’s words, annoyed but laughing, "You can have many later."

"I don’t want to." Gong Ruzhi replied swiftly, "Too many kids, too tiring."

Ah, is this kid’s butt itching, answering like that.

Gong Ruini listened to her brother’s nonsense, also laughed, previously everyone tried to eavesdrop on how she would respond, but now thanks to Gong Ruzhi, they didn’t focus on her, seizing this chance.

"I received the letter, I’m very happy."

"Everything I want to say is in the letter."

"Brother Xu Ran, your drawing is also quite good."

"Of course, I noticed right away." Gong Ruini expressed without blinking that she saw it at first glance, "Looks so much like me, I wonder how long Brother Xu Ran took to draw it."

Listening to the words coming from the other end of the phone, Gong Ruini blushed with embarrassment, who said Zhao Guangran could only sweet-talk girls, claiming Zhao Xuran was only about work.

That’s him being restrained, if he showcased like Zhao Guangran, Gong Ruini wouldn’t know how many rivals she’d have; perhaps there’d be countless people cursing her with effigies every night instead.

"These words aren’t meant for others." Zhao Xuran’s possessive personality shouldn’t crumble, or else it might frighten many.

Zhao Xuran laughed, laughter filled with joy, "Only for you, forever only for you."

Wow, is this a vow to her? Gong Ruini was stunned, if it were Zhao Guangran’s sweet-talk, she wouldn’t believe a word.

But Zhao Xuran said it, he was definitely a man whose word was as good as a bond, Gong Ruini was terrified and instantly hung up the phone.

With such bombshells, Gong Ruini felt the need to be calm, or else she’d really feel like flying.

Though Zhao Xuran had previously hinted through his words, telling Gong Ruini she was the one for him in this life, there was never a time that gave her such an overwhelmingly sweet feeling, sweeter than macarons even.

Gong Ruini swiftly hung up and rushed back to her room, attracting the crowd’s attention who were previously watching Gong Tao’s father-son interaction.

"What’s wrong?"

"Already hung up?"

Each of them was bewildered, as they were drifting off into daydreams, expecting Gong Ruini to talk at length with Zhao Xuran—every little detail could be discussed, leaving everyone sleepy.

This time they thought the call would last long enough for them to find opportunities to gradually divulge its contents, not expecting it to end so soon, how could they not be shocked?

"Well then, didn’t catch the key points." Cai Meina felt regret for missing out on important details, but they couldn’t show it, whereas Gong Jiaming was openly displeased.

Was it his fault again? Gong Ruzhi felt indignant, "If it weren’t for dad..."

"My fault? Then take a look at what you said." Gong Tao was relieved, "Why don’t you consider if Ni Zi would let us overhear matters they don’t want us to know?"

"If we keep pressing her, the topic wouldn’t be discussed much."

Reflecting on Gong Ruini’s personality, such is exactly the case.

"And if Xavier finds out you eavesdropped on their phone conversation." Gong Tao wasn’t worried Zhao Xuran would retaliate against them, but occasionally digging a small hole was very possible.

As for Gong Ruwen and the others, would Zhao Xuran hesitate? Certainly not, likely even mete out double the revenge.

With this statement, those who were initially lamenting missing the opportunity ceased their complaints, instead feeling grateful, at least things were still within their control.
