Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1117: Dabai Awakens (9)

"Why so formal? My house is your house," Xiao Yebai said as he bit into a crab leg with a crunch.

Zhang Sanfeng chuckled and called for the crab tools to help Xiao Yebai dismantle the crab shell.

He realized Xiao Yebai was perfectly fine, in high spirits.

Wei Changqing sat there looking like the stern official Bao Gong, apparently impatient. He felt like he had no purpose here, like he was out of place.

Xiao Yebai chatted while eating, "Did I hear Old Eight is back home?"

"How did Second Brother know?" Zhan Dapeng was surprised, thinking Xiao Yebai just woke up recently.

"Your sister-in-law worries I can’t hear properly, so she recaps the day’s events to me every night," Xiao Yebai gestured to his head with a finger, "Her voice is so lovely my brain automatically remembers it."

The other three were a bit surprised. If he wasn’t lying, then his memory was indeed extraordinary.

Zhan Dapeng snapped back, "Baomo got into some trouble, so I asked him to return home and reflect."

"Might as well have him settle down and get married. Otherwise, he’ll end up like you guys," Xiao Yebai said.

Wei Changqing was puzzled, "What’s wrong with us?"

"You’re like a bunch of lonely souls without women, the expression you had when you arrived made me feel like you’d found your spouse," Xiao Yebai joked.

Poof. Zhang Sanfeng was the first to laugh.

Wei Changqing stared at him: "You laugh at anything."

Zhan Dapeng shook his head, "Second Brother’s sharp tongue is unchanged, he’s still the same."

Dabai’s dark humor isn’t easily understood by everyone.

Wei Changqing huffed, turning his back.

"What’s the plan now that Second Brother’s awake?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.

"Plenty," Xiao Yebai replied, reclining and picking his teeth with a toothpick once fully satisfied.

"What is it?" Wei Changqing turned his head, thinking a real matter was finally being discussed.

Dabai threw out casually, "I need to buy a book first."

"What book?"

"Expectant Father’s Guidebook, I heard it’s quite a popular online bestseller."

Wei Changqing stood up and declared, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. Call me if anything comes up."

Watching Old Six stride away, Zhan Dapeng and Zhang Sanfeng both fell silent.

Xiao Yebai saw their expressions, realizing they couldn’t work well with Old Six just as he initially noted.

Wei Changqing reached the door, had a sudden thought, and returned, saying, "Since Second Brother is awake, he should inform Big Brother. Although we never mentioned it before, fearing unnecessary worry for him, now that all is well, it should be addressed."

Zhan Dapeng and Zhang Sanfeng seemed to not immediately comprehend his words.

Xiao Yebai cheerfully replied, "Sure, you keep in contact with Big Brother, go ahead and tell him."

Wei Changqing nodded and added, "Was this place recently attacked?"

"Oh, the daughter of an old enemy of my dad tracked here, disguising herself as kitchen staff. A woman, she was subdued on the spot. If not, my wife would have called you all," Xiao Yebai said.

The group tried to digest the information in his words.

Wei Changqing pondered a moment and asked, "Was anyone hurt?"

"No one. It was just that when hiring here, they got careless seeing she’s a woman. Nothing special," Xiao Yebai said nonchalantly.

Wei Changqing finally seemed relieved and turned to leave.

Zhan Dapeng leaned toward Xiao Yebai, whispering, "Second Brother, when did you wake up?"

"For the New Year’s Eve dinner. I smelled my wife’s cooking and woke up," Dabai replied honestly.

Gu Nuan personally cooked a special New Year’s meal for her husband, placing it by his bedside. Not wanting Dabai to miss the meal’s aroma, even though he couldn’t see it.

She knew Dabai was fond of good food and a foodie.

But when Dabai woke and saw the meal prepared just for him, he couldn’t bear to eat it, so he sought something else downstairs to fill his stomach.

Zhan Dapeng mused, "Sis-in-law is really good to Second Brother. He’s truly blessed."

"No kidding," Xiao Yebai rolled his eyes at him.

Uncle Tang entered with a phone, saying, "Young Master, it looks like there’s a call from Young Mistress’s family. The doctor said Young Mistress had a bit of fetal movements tonight, she took some medicine and fell asleep."

Upon hearing, Xiao Yebai immediately took the call.

On the other end was Gu Mom’s voice.

"Nuannuan, have you finished eating? Your dad says maybe the day after tomorrow, we can visit you."

Dabai, her son-in-law, promptly replied, "Mom, Dad, I’ll book your flight tickets."

Gu Mom was momentarily stunned, as if something struck her.

She and her husband hadn’t heard their son-in-law’s voice for ages.

Was she dreaming?

Gu Dad came over upon hearing, asking, "Is it Yebai?"

"Yes, yes, yes, seems like it’s his voice," Gu Mom said nervously. They had sensed something before, but didn’t dare ask due to their daughter’s feelings.

Gu Dad took the phone and told his son-in-law, "Do you intend to drive us crazy, playing hide and seek with us?"
