Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272: Got Excited and Forgot About the Time Difference

The phone rang several times before someone on the other side picked up: "Hello, who is it?"

Luo Qiao, upon hearing the phone connect, said: "Hello, Brother Chen, it’s me."

When Lu Yichen heard Luo Qiao’s voice, he immediately became alert: "Qiaoqiao, did something happen?"

Luo Qiao, realizing what Lu Yichen had just said over the phone, remembered she had gotten too excited; it was past three in the morning in China. She slapped her forehead: "Nothing’s wrong, nothing’s wrong, it’s good news. I got excited and forgot the time difference."

Lu Yichen had truly been frightened just now, as this was the first time Luo Qiao had called him in the middle of the night. He had thought something had happened.

Upon hearing that nothing was wrong, he was finally able to relax: "Qiaoqiao, where are you now?"

Luo Qiao pulled her two daughters over and found a place to sit down first: "Yanyan and Yueyue and I are now in New York."

This fully woke Lu Yichen up, so he propped himself up in bed: "How did you guys end up in New York?"

Luo Qiao handed a water bottle to her two daughters, gesturing for them to drink some water.

Only then did she reply: "Yanyan and Yueyue signed up for a piano competition. I originally wanted them to come and broaden their horizons, but our daughters did us proud and advanced to the second round. I got so happy I forgot about the time difference."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yichen also got very excited: "Yanyan and Yueyue, let me speak a few words with them."

Luo Qiao handed the phone to the sisters: "Daddy wants to talk to you two."

The two children took the phone obediently. Yanyan spoke first: "Daddy, did we disturb your rest? Mom got too excited."

"Yanyan and Yueyue, Daddy is so happy. You two are really amazing, Daddy is proud of you."

"Thank you, Daddy. We will be coming back next week for the second round of the competition. If we advance again, we’ll be entering the finals of the third round."

"My darlings, the competition is important, but your health is more so. You’ll practice piano when you get back, but you need to set a time limit every day, understand?"

"We understand, Daddy."

"We’ll work hard to make it to the third round."

"My darlings, listen to Daddy, you’re still young, there’ll be many such competitions in the future, and as long as you love it, Mom and Dad will always support and accompany you.

We’ve done our best, that’s good enough. Don’t take ranking too seriously, the most important thing is to enjoy the happiness music brings us, okay?"

After hearing Daddy’s words, Yanyan said: "Daddy, we understand, but my sister and I will try our best."

After her sister finished speaking, Yueyue said: "Daddy, what you said is right and wrong too. Of course, you have to try hard to get a ranking in a competition. Otherwise, no matter how much you try, nobody will remember you."

Lu Yichen didn’t expect the usually quiet Yueyue to say something like this. It seemed Yueyue was the one with more opinions.

"Yueyue makes a good point, Daddy was a bit one-sided. Well, my darlings, give it your all, and no matter the outcome, let’s face it with equanimity, okay?"

Both children chimed in unison: "Okay."

After finishing their conversation, Yanyan and Yueyue handed the phone back to their mom. Luo Qiao took over: "Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Rong Daniang. I won’t let them practice for too long."

Lu Yichen felt relieved: "Alright, you’ve been working hard, wife. So, are you going back to Boston today?"

"Yes, we’re heading back. We’ll be leaving for the train station soon. I think it’s safer and more convenient to take the train."

"Okay, then head over now. I remember there’s a train at about four o’clock. You should be able to buy tickets if you hurry."

"Okay, then you try to get some sleep, sorry for disturbing you, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Qiao gathered her belongings and, with her two daughters, left the competition venue. Outside, a Yipin Overseas Company car was already waiting for them.

When the driver saw them coming out, he hurriedly got out to open the car door: "President Luo, where to now?"

Luo Qiao beckoned Yanyan and Yueyue into the car: "Take us to the train station."

Once they were seated, the driver confirmed: "Alright."

Indeed, they were in luck. They had just bought tickets and passed through the checkpoint when their train pulled into the station.

A phone call had already been made to He Qing while in the car, asking her to drive to the train station to pick them up, as they were expected to arrive home by around nine o’clock in the evening.

Yanyan and Yueyue were still excited. Once they were settled, Yanyan suggested: "Mom, when we get home, let’s call Great Grandpa, our Aunties, as well as Great Granny and Great Grandfather to share our happy news with them."

By now, Luo Qiao had calmed down herself, looking at her daughters’ proud expressions without the heart to burst their bubble, thinking it’d be okay to let them bask in their achievement for a while longer.

If they still hadn’t calmed down by the time they got home, she’d bring them back to reality.

For dinner, Luo Qiao accompanied her two daughters to the dining car for a meal; she didn’t want to skimp on herself and the children.

After dinner, they returned to their carriage, where the two little ones stared out the window at the passing scenery: "Mommy, the view outside is so beautiful."
