Chapter 209 Silence is Cambridge tonight
Xu Xian glanced back and stammered, "I was on the street and someone fainted."
As she finished speaking, she heard a broadcast announcement from the hall. She subconsciously covered the receiver, but felt the same voice coming from the other end of the phone.
This was the boarding announcement for her flight back to Hai City. Without bothering to delve into it, she hurriedly said, "I don't want to chat with you anymore. Brother Feng is calling me."
Without waiting for Jiang Shibai to reply, Xu Xian decisively hung up the phone, leaving him with an electronic busy tone.
Jiang Shibai glanced at the screen showing the call ended and smiled helplessly.
The sky in Hai City cleared up and the flight arrived on time. Xu Xian was worried all the way until the plane landed smoothly, and his heart finally relaxed.
She took an online taxi and went back to her former rental house to pick up the express delivery she bought online.
They are basically decorations, so they naturally cannot be sent to Repulse Bay. If Jiang Shibai finds them, the surprise will be ruined.
After gathering all her things, she returned to Repulse Bay with her bags.
Repulse Bay was quiet, without a sound at all. Aunt Zhang, who should have been cooking at home at this time, was nowhere to be seen.
Xu Xian didn't find anything unusual and simply thought that Jiang Shibai would not be coming home for dinner tonight.
It took her nearly two hours to decorate the room inside and out. Then she went upstairs to take a shower, change her clothes, and put on some makeup while it was still early.
Everything was ready. It was already completely dark and the house was pitch black. Xu Xian turned off the lights at home and sat in the living room playing with his mobile phone, waiting for Jiang Shibai.
It's like waiting for something to happen.
But I waited for two hours, and it was almost nine o'clock, but there was no sign of him coming back.
Afraid of missing out on tonight's surprise, she had no choice but to take the risk of being exposed and call Madam Jiang first.
The Jiang family has a very good family atmosphere. Even Jiang Shixin, who is in her thirties, wants to have a meal with her family to celebrate her birthday. However, she is not sure whether Jiang Shibai will celebrate his birthday.
But he hasn't returned home yet, and he's probably celebrating his birthday at his old house.
It seems that we need to find someone to collude with and trick him back home.
Currently, the only one who can get things done is Madam Jiang.
When the call was connected, Xu Xian got straight to the point, "Grandma, is Shi Bai at the old house?"
The elderly go to bed early, and Mrs. Jiang, who was lying in bed and about to fall asleep, was slightly surprised when she heard this.
Two days ago, she asked Shi Bai to return to the old house so that the family could celebrate his birthday. Unexpectedly, the brat did not appreciate it and threatened to go to Belgium to find Xianxian.
The young couple was newly married, so she was naturally happy to see it happen.
But from what Xianxian said, she had no idea. Old Madam Jiang, who had lived for decades, also had a love affair when she was young. She immediately guessed that Jiang Shibai went to Belgium but did not tell Xianxian.
He was probably on the plane at this time. Could it be that Xianxian couldn't get through to him, so he called her?
The surprise couldn't go to waste. Old Madam Jiang, who was trying to protect her grandson's love, was full of fighting spirit. She suddenly became energetic and no longer felt sleepy.
She responded cautiously, "Shi Bai? Shi Bai is not at the old house. Can't you contact him? Maybe he is taking a shower at home and not checking his phone."
Xu Xian blinked his eyes, listening to Madam Jiang's powerful voice, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
Not at the old house?
It is definitely impossible to take a shower at home, after all, she is the only one at home.
But he doesn't celebrate his birthday at the old house. Does that mean he doesn't like celebrating his birthday?
Xu Xian asked hesitantly, "Grandma, I remember today is his birthday. Does he celebrate his birthday in the past?"
"You can't come back from abroad. Do you want to call him and say happy birthday?" Old Madam Jiang avoided her question with an auntie smile on her face, thinking she had tasted the sweetest melon.
Xu Xian was silent for a moment, then answered truthfully, "Actually, I'm already home now. I wanted to give him a surprise, but I can't find him. Grandma, could you please ask him when he'll be back in Repulse Bay?"
When asking someone to do something for you, of course you have to tell her the truth about her situation to avoid any mistakes along the way.
Madam Jiang: “…”
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Xu Xian glanced at the screen, which showed that he was on a call, and asked tentatively: "Grandma? Can you hear me clearly?"
Madam Jiang coughed lightly, not knowing whether to tell her the truth in person.
Don’t this couple have mouths?
I wanted to give the other person a surprise, but it was such bad luck and it all went wrong.
"Xianxian! Grandma is super sleepy right now. How about you call him yourself?" Madam Jiang yawned pretentiously. "Don't worry, there will be a surprise when you call him."
"You must call! If you can't get through now, try calling later."
As soon as she finished speaking, she decisively hung up the phone.
Let the young couple solve their own problems!
As an old lady over fifty years old, she didn't want to get involved.
Of course she would not admit it. She just thought that letting them discover the misunderstanding themselves would be the most exciting and thrilling scene.
A true old naughty boy.
Xu Xian looked at the hung-up phone interface and was stunned for a moment. She felt that her grandmother's way of speaking was too strange.
According to her warm-hearted personality, she would have taken on the task long ago and called Jiang Shibai excitedly, but now she was making excuses and repeatedly told him not to call her.
Suddenly, the content of the phone call at the transit airport in the morning came to her mind.
An ominous premonition lingered in my heart, becoming stronger and stronger.
He's not going to Belgium, is he?
In the dark living room, the light from the mobile phone screen shone on that stunningly beautiful face, whose expression was brilliant at the moment, alternating between red and white.
After a while, Xu Xian nervously dialed his number, not caring about the surprise being ruined.
After all, expected shocks require more immediate confirmation than unexpected surprises.
As Mrs. Jiang expected, when she called for the first time, the other party's phone showed as turned off.
Seeing this, Xu Xian already had the answer in his mind. He sighed and curled up on the sofa to check flights to Belgium.
Half an hour later, she called again.
This time the call was answered after a few rings.
Jiang Shibai was at the airport in Brussels, Belgium, on the jet bridge. After answering the phone, he stopped and looked out the window at the bright sunny day. He asked, "My dear, guess where I am?"
The man's voice was gentle and steady, revealing an indescribable joy.
He and Guaibao were really in tune with each other, and he was just about to call her.
Xu Xian's guess was confirmed at this moment. Looking at the dark living room, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
You can't say with certainty that he is in Belgium, right?
Finally, she said with a smile: "Husband."
"Um?"
"Happy birthday."
Jiang Shibai's secretive eyes lit up instantly, and his voice was filled with endless warmth, "So my dear, you remembered that today is my birthday! I really thought you, such a heartless little thing, had forgotten."
After a long journey, all the fatigue disappeared when I heard her words, leaving only sweetness.
Xu Xian listened to his happy voice and couldn't bear to hit him.
They just need to face reality.
"Today is your first birthday since we got married. It's a shame we can't spend it together."
"It's okay. I said I would come find you." Jiang Shibai's eyes were shining with golden sunshine. "My dear, the sky is clear in Brussels."
In the dim moonlight outside the window, Xu Xian saw raindrops falling from the eaves, "Mr. Jiang, it's drizzling in Haishi."
Jiang Shibai: "..."
