Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Waiting for You to Come Home

"Xue’er?"

As soon as the gentle and mellow voice rang from the other end of the phone, Ye Li was staring blankly with her eyes wide open.

Tears rushed out immediately.

Aunt Lan was the same.

Engulfed in the call, Li Xueqing didn’t notice the other two’s unusual reaction and asked cheerfully, "Brother Shen, how’s your work progressing over there, is it going smoothly?"

"Not bad..."

The voice on the phone laughed and replied, "After so many years, I didn’t expect I could still use those foreign languages I learned back then, haha... Xue’er, how about you? Are you feeling better?"

Li Xueqing nodded, "Much better! But strangely, I can’t remember how I fell ill or how I ended up in the hospital. It’s like I have lost my memory."

"You know..."

The voice sighed, "Right after my plane landed, Sister Lan called to tell me you had fainted. I immediately said I would come back, but Sister Lan and Ah Li wouldn’t let me. Sister Lan said with her there, I should be completely reassured, and Ah Li said, ’How can a conqueror be trapped by the love for his children?’ Dad, you need to bravely forge ahead, leave mom to me and Aunt Lan..."

Imitating his daughter’s voice perfectly, the voice on the other end sounded apologetic, "Xue’er, I’m so sorry! Don’t worry, I’ll finish up as soon as I can and get back..."

"Brother Shen!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xueqing interrupted him urgently, "I am already better, and I’ll be discharged from the hospital and going home tomorrow. Proceed with your plans, whether it’s three months, half a year, or even a year. Ah Li and I will wait for you to come home; take your time! I don’t want you to work overtime to come home early. If I find out, I’ll be upset!"

"Xue’er..."

A sigh was heard, the calming voice responded, "Don’t worry, I’ll eat on time, go to bed early, and take good care of myself. I promised to live till 100 with you, this is hardly anything!"

"That’s more like it!"

Li Xueqing nodded, smiling. She glanced at her phone, and her voice suddenly rose, "It’s past one a.m. over there, isn’t it? Is this what you mean by going to sleep early and taking good care of yourself? Ye Mushen!!!"

"Good night, wife, I love you!"

Beep, beep, beep.

It was as if she had caught their father lying and then he hurriedly hung up the phone and switched it off, diving under the covers to sleep.

Ye Li’s tears fell even harder.

Back in the hospital bed, Li Xueqing dialed another number.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off..."

After hanging up, Li Xueqing looked helplessly at Aunt Lan, "See, if I hadn’t called, I wouldn’t have known he was staying up late again. Not one of them is trouble-free. And Ah Li, you should hurry back to your studies..."

Turning her head, she saw Ye Li’s tear-stained face.

Li Xueqing was taken aback, "Ah Li, what’s wrong?"

"Dad is a big bad guy..."

With red-rimmed eyes, Ye Li said, "I miss him so much, but he didn’t even mention me."

Li Xueqing immediately laughed.

This kind of thing often happened in the past.

Dad on a business trip.

Or mom going out traveling.

When the couple talked over the phone, their conversation was filled with longing and reminders for each other.

Only after hanging up would they remember they had a daughter.

Then, a WeChat message would follow: [Tell Ah Li, dad/mom is missing her, missing her a lot!]

Each time, Ye Li would respond with two characters: "Haha."

But this time, Ye Li didn’t want to reply with "Haha."

If possible, she really wanted to pick up the phone and ask: Dad, when are you coming back? Ah Li misses you so much, so much!

"Mom, I really miss dad, wuwuwu..."

One cried, the other comforted, and it took a while for the hospital room to quiet down.

Ye Li rubbed her somewhat swollen eyes and got up to leave.

Walking out, as the door to the hospital room closed, Ye Li lowered her voice and asked, "Aunt Lan, what’s up with dad’s call?"

Ye Li heard clearly; it was definitely his voice.

Opening her mouth slightly, her gaze fell behind Ye Li, and Aunt Lan smiled and pushed her, "Go ask Uncle Fu!"

Turning around, Ye Li saw Fu Yanci just a few steps away.
