âOf course not!
âI promise: In the future, even if I have something to do, Iâll definitely tell you first. Take it that I was insensible this time. Our little sister Anâan, hurry up and forgive me, alright?â
The man coaxed her patiently in a gentle and deep voice, begging for forgiveness.
The little girl wasnât that angry anymore. She wasnât angry with him, butâ¦
âYouâve already said it. In the future, youâre not allowed to run off without saying anything.â
âYes, yes, yes. I definitely wonât, I guarantee it!â
As Ling Chuan made the promise, he mimicked Grandfather Qi Xiuyuanâs voice as he teased, âA child who doesnât keep his word isnât a good child, soâ¦â
âHahaha~â
Before Ling Chuan could finish speaking, Lu An couldnât hold back her laughter.
She recalled how Grandpa had educated her earnestly with a raised cane.
A certain someoneâs pretentious and sad voice rang out on the other end of the line. âLittle Anâan, have you forgotten about me now that you have a family? Donât⦠Donât you know that Grandpa misses you??Sob sob~â
âHahaha! Brother Xiao Chuan, thatâs enough! If Grandpa hears that, heâll beat you to death!â
Lu An almost burst with laughter!
The image of the old man lying in bed and pretending to be pitiful, especially when he was holding the hem of her shirt, was especially vivid.
But as she smiled, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Lu An restrained her smile and said, âBrother, when you come back next time, weâll find time to visit Grandpa, alright?â
âMm, okay.â
The man agreed in a low voice. He knew that the little girl missed her grandfather, so he added, âDonât worry, I have someone taking care of Grandpa. Heâs doing well, thereâs no problem.â
âMm, I know. Thank you, Brother.â
Then, it seemed⦠there wasnât anything else to talk about?
For some reason, Lu An didnât want to end the call. She didnât know why.
They listened to each otherâs breathing and kept quiet as they looked at the refreshing scenery around them.
Suddenly, Ling Chuan said in a deep voice, âOh, right, do you remember the orange tree that we planted in the backyard together?â
âOh, I remember, of course I remember!â
Lu An immediately perked up and replied happily, âItâs so tall now. Itâs got a lot of oranges on it. I even stole one last time. Itâs so sour. When we go back next time, itâll definitely be sweet!â
âMm,â the man replied softly as he thought:?No matter how sweet the orange is, it canât compare with you.
On this side, a certain third brother really couldnât take it!
Didnât his little sister just want to ask the d*mn man why he had suddenly left? Why were they talking about everyday things now?
She was chatting so warmly, but there was completely no substance to the words. Wasnât it boring? When was it going to end?
âAh, Little Sister, my foot hurts. I think I accidentally sprained it?â
A certain third brother suddenly crouched down and clutched his right foot, as if he was dying of pain.
âOh!
âBrother, it seems that my third brother sprained his ankle. Iâll talk to you later.â
With that, Lu An hurriedly hung up and crouched down in front of her third brother to look at his foot.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A certain third brother immediately looked up and smiled fawningly. âLittle Sister, do you think my acting skills are good? Do I have the potential to be an actor?â
That sloth-like expression was infuriating.
âAs if!â
A certain little sister gave an angry comment, but still reached out to pull him up, and turned around to get back to work.
âHehe~â
Third Brother thought he was pretty good, and eagerly trotted after his little sister.
On the other side, Shen Liang looked at a certain man who stared at his phone for a long time with a dark expression.
