Gu Zhiyun carried Rui Rui, who had just washed her face, out of the room and whispered a few words in Rui Rui's ear.

Rui Rui nodded her little head very seriously.

Shen Jingyan was very curious; what little secrets were the father and son sharing?

Gu Zhiyun was holding Rui Rui when he answered the phone.

"Hello, Teacher Tang."

Tang Xiaoran was completely captivated by Gu Zhiyun's deep, magnetic voice.

"Xiao Gu, our research team is having a gathering tonight. My dad will be there too. It's at the Qianjiang Hotel near Imperial University. You absolutely have to come!"

This gathering was something she had racked her brains to come up with in order to see Gu Zhiyun.

Fearing that Gu Zhiyun might find an excuse not to attend, she specifically persuaded Professor Tang to attend as well.

Professor Tang is a heavyweight in scientific research; gatherings he attends attract huge crowds from the aerospace field.

"Attending a party? Tonight?"

As Gu Zhiyun spoke, he gave Rui Rui a look.

Rui Rui immediately burst into tears: "Dad, you broke your promise! You promised to take me and Mom to Grandpa and Grandma's house today! I miss Grandpa and Grandma, I miss Auntie and Auntie, I miss Sister Yuan Yuan!"

Tang Xiaoran was waiting expectantly for Gu Zhiyun's reply when she heard the child crying, which made her feel upset.

Gu Zhiyun didn't have time to answer her at all; he was busy comforting Rui Rui, but Rui Rui cried louder and louder, making Tang Xiaoran's ears almost deaf.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Tang, I already promised Rui Rui last night, and I really can't find the time to attend your gathering tonight."

"But Dad will be there too, at this gathering..."

Rui Rui's shrill cries interrupted Tang Xiaoran's words.

"Teacher Tang, I'm so sorry! I can't go, I have to go!"

Gu Zhiyun hung up the phone in a hurry, leaving Tang Xiaoran with many things she wanted to say but couldn't.

As soon as the phone call ended, Rui Rui immediately stopped crying.

He looked at Gu Zhiyun with his bright, clear eyes: "Dad, did I cry well?"
