Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 726 - 17: Little Gege, Will You Miss Me?

You know, Yige, sometimes it feels a bit awkward!

After breakfast, Zhang Lan took up the "heavy duty" of tidying up in the kitchen, while Yige played football with Rong Rui on the lawn in front of the door.

Even while washing dishes, Zhang Lan couldn’t help but look outside.

Watching that little round thing roll around on the lawn was truly delightful.

Zhang Lan couldn’t stop laughing as she watched.

And Yige, who was playing football with Rong Rui, was laughing so hard her legs cramped.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Zhang Lan glanced at the phone Yige had casually placed on the sofa, put down the plate she was about to wash, washed her hands, dried them with a towel, quickly walked to the sofa, picked up the phone, and quickly moved towards the door, "Yige, phone call."

"Eh."

Yige responded, patting Rong Rui’s little head, and jogged over to Zhang Lan.

Taking the phone from Zhang Lan, Yige glanced at the caller ID on the phone screen, raised an eyebrow, turned around, watching Rong Rui puffing and kicking the ball while answering the phone, "Little Yanzi, getting a call from you makes me wonder if the sun has risen from the west today."

"Sister Xiao Yi, friendly reminder, it’s nighttime in China now, there’s only the moon, no sun." Gu Yan said, laughing cheekily.

"Ha ha." Yige responded with two fake laughs.

"Sister Xiao Yi, I have some good news here. Do you want to hear it?" Gu Yan continued with his cheeky voice.

"Hmm... I’m thinking, if I say I don’t want to hear it, which one of us would feel worse?" Yige said.

Gu Yan, "..." Why not follow the script!

After a while without hearing Gu Yan’s voice, Yige couldn’t help but laugh, "Okay, I actually really want to hear it, tell me, what’s the good news?"

Hearing Yige say that, Gu Yan was immediately smug, "Sister Xiao Yi, I think, sharing joy with others isn’t as good as enjoying it alone, maybe I shouldn’t tell you."

"... Gu Yan, do you want to die?" Yige was speechless.

"Hehe. Angry now?" Gu Yan asked cheekily.

Yige wanted to smack his head if he were in front of her right now!

"Gu Yan, say it if you want to, on your own terms!" Tang Yige gritted her teeth.

"Look at you, really got angry. I’ll tell you, okay?"

Tang Yige squinted, feeling like Gu Yan was practically flying with pride over there!

Yige remained silent, just waiting for his so-called good news.

"Ahem. Yige, before I share this good news, you better prepare yourself mentally, and make sure no one’s around you." Gu Yan said.

"..." Tang Yige’s mouth twitched, "Are you going to say it or not, such a drama!"

"Hehe. Don’t rush." Gu Yan said slowly.

Yige was sweaty.

"I just worry that hearing this good news might make you lose control and scare those around you." Gu Yan said seriously.

Yige took a deep breath, "I’ll count to three, if you don’t say it, I’ll hang up, one, two..."

"I saw Momo!"

"..." Tang Yige’s body shook, her grip on the phone tightened sharply, "What, what did you say?"

"Sister Xiao Yi, Momo didn’t die, and the two kids are all fine." Gu Yan’s voice suddenly turned hoarse and emotional.

Tang Yige closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, "You said, you said Momo didn’t die, the kids are fine, is that true? Is it true?"

Tang Yige asked twice.

"Yes." Gu Yan said solemnly.

"That’s great!" Tang Yige covered her mouth, the excitement and joy shimmering in her eyes, "That’s great. Momo isn’t dead, the kids are okay, that’s great."

Gu Yan laughed steadily on the other side, "So, how’s my good news?"

"Not just okay." Tang Yige said in a hoarse voice.

"Ha. Sister Xiao Yi, Xixi and Hanhan are so beautiful, so adorable, especially Xixi, like a doll." Gu Yan’s words were filled with affection.

"Show me." Tang Yige said.

"...I’m not with them right now." Gu Yan said.

Tang Yige scowled regretfully.

"But Sister Xiao Yi, when I see them, I’ll take a few photos and send them to you."

"Okay. Don’t forget." Tang Yige’s frown smoothed out as she smiled.

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle it."

"Tch."

"Sister Xiao Yi, you’ve been wandering outside for four years, when are you coming back?" Gu Yan sighed.

Tang Yige glanced at Rong Rui playing soccer, "When you get married, I’ll definitely come back to drink at your wedding feast."

"Oh, come on. Sister Xiao Yi, please don’t mention this to me. I’m almost driven crazy by the Empress Dowager at home because of this." Gu Yan lamented painfully.

"What’s going on?"

"It’s still the Empress Dowager at home. She’s terrified that her handsome, elegant, and charming son won’t find a wife, so she arranges blind dates for me every day. You wouldn’t believe it, but the Empress Dowager has scheduled blind dates for me from this month into the next one. Even work has off days!"

Gu Yan said with an air of pitiful helplessness.

Tang Yige laughed, "You’re not exactly young, so Aunt Gu’s worries are understandable. If you really can’t handle your Empress Dowager’s nagging, then quickly get a serious girlfriend to take home and show Aunt Gu."

"Sister Xiao Yi, I don’t like what you’re saying. What do you mean by getting a ’serious girlfriend’? Which girlfriend have I ever had that wasn’t serious, huh?" Gu Yan huffed.

"Heh. So, that’s what you rich guys call a one-night stand, huh? In that case, I can’t help but feel some sympathy for your future girlfriends." Yige smirked.

"I have to say, Sister Xiao Yi, you’re just like Sany and the others, always teasing me when you see me." Gu Yan pretended to be pitiful.

Yige raised an eyebrow, "Teasing you means we like you."

"Heh, well thank you for your affection."

Yige chatted with Gu Yan for a bit and then ended the call.

Yige held her heart, feeling both a bitterness and warmth there.

Upon hearing Gu Yan say that not only Momo was still alive, but the two kids were safe and sound too, she felt genuinely happy.

At least it made her feel a little less hopeless about the world.

Momo and the kids were doing fine.

How wonderful!

...

Because she learned that Jin Jumo and the two kids were alive, Tang Yige suddenly felt the urge to go back to her country.

However, reluctant to leave Rong Rui and Zhang Lan, Tang Yige stayed in Paris for another half-month.

Afterward, she booked a flight to Mexico, planning to visit there before heading back home to see Jin Jumo and the two kids.

That day, Tang Yige was packing her luggage in the room.

A little head poked in through the doorway.

Tang Yige pulled a trench coat from the wardrobe, lay it on the bed to fold, "Come in, little guy."

Rong Rui, dressed in a long-sleeved cotton-linen top and pants, poked his small body through the door slowly, but didn’t come in, with his little chubby hands resting on the door frame, his big dark eyes staring at Tang Yige, "Aunt Zhang said you’re leaving, is that true?"

Actually, seeing Tang Yige packing, Rong Rui knew it was true.

He just held onto a sliver of hope.

Tang Yige paused her folding, looked up at Rong Rui, and smiled, "Yes. I’m planning to travel to Mexico and then I’ll go back home."

"Go back home?"

Rong Rui looked at her, curious.

Tang Yige placed the folded trench coat into the suitcase, stood up, and beckoned to Rong Rui.

Rong Rui furrowed his brows, his cute little face wrinkled with dismay.

But seeing Yige beckoning him, he still walked over.

Once he got close, Yige bent down to pick him up, sat on the bed, and gently looked at his chubby little face, "Yes, go back home."

"Where is your home?" Rong Rui stared at her, with clear big eyes reflecting two miniatures of Yige.

Yige smiled, "My home is in Z City, China."

"I know China, Aunt Zhang said that’s where my mom is too," Rong Rui said.

However, when mentioning the word "mom," Rong Rui’s little face was filled with loneliness.

Yige’s heart twisted as she looked at Rong Rui compassionately.

She had heard from Zhang Lan before.

Rong Rui’s mother was in the country, and aside from sending living expenses and salaries for Rong Rui and Zhang Lan to Zhang Lan’s card on time, she barely ever visited Rong Rui in Paris.

Moreover, Zhang Lan’s tone suggested that Rong Rui’s mother didn’t like Rong Rui.

Not only didn’t like, perhaps even had some aversion.

Also, Zhang Lan said that as Rong Rui grew up, his mom hardly ever held him.

Thinking of this, Yige reached out and held Rong Rui’s soft little chubby hand. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Rong Rui looked at Yige’s hand holding his, pursed his little lips, lifted his small face to look at Yige, "Little Gege, will you miss me after you go home?"

Yige gazed at Rong Rui’s hopeful big eyes, her heart fluttered slightly, and she smiled, nodded, "Yes."
