Chapter 185 A Transnational Phone Call



After the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, as night fell, it was time to admire the moon.

Everyone sat in the backyard early, drinking tea and chatting.

Rong Xueer, along with Su Yinwan, Rong Jing, and Ye Chen, sat on the soft carpet playing cards.

It was absolutely hilarious!

Grandpa Rong and Grandpa Su drank several glasses of wine at the dinner table, and now they were both slightly tipsy.

Nevertheless, they sat happily in the cushioned rattan chairs, chatting about all sorts of interesting things.

Memories of the past and family matters of today are too numerous to recount.

Meanwhile, Rong's father and Su's father played chess.

Meanwhile, Rong's mother, Su's mother, and Duanmu Jun sat on the swing chatting about everyday things, occasionally admiring the moon.

Each has its own way of playing and its own unique fun.

At that moment, a text message popped up on Rong Jing's phone screen.

The man merely glanced at it and did not open the reply.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! I'm going back to China next month, will you come pick me up?

Su Yinwan, who was sitting next to her, did not notice this message.

Her mind was completely focused on the playing cards.

"Yes, I won again."

After Rong Xue'er played her last two cards, she was undoubtedly the biggest winner.

"Xue'er's luck is pretty good today. She's putting pressure on us."

Su Yinwan teased with a smile.

After several rounds, Su Yinwan was always the last one with several cards left.

It has to be said that she had really bad luck today; she didn't win a single time.

She even wondered if the feng shui of the spot she was sitting in was bad.

Thinking of this, she looked at Rong Jing with a grin.

"Ah Jing, I want to switch positions with you. If we win the next game, it means this position isn't good enough."

Rong Jing naturally doted on her.

So, he obediently sat down in Su Yinwan's seat.

Su Yinwan smiled and moved to his side.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen began dealing the cards.

Just after the last card was dealt, Rong Jing's phone rang.

The screen only displays a foreign phone number without any notes.

At this moment, Rong Jing did not go to answer it.

It seemed the other party hadn't given up; as long as Rong Jing didn't answer, the phone kept ringing.

After listening to the ringing for a while, Su Yinwan looked up at Rong Jing and asked, "Why aren't you answering the phone? Is something urgent? He keeps calling, do you want to answer it?"

Su Yinwan didn't know who called, but Rong Jing did.

Are you sure you want me to answer?

"Take it, just in case something urgent comes up and they need to contact you."

Su Yinwan tried to persuade the man.

Rong Jing picked up his phone, got up, and walked away.

After glancing at the phone number displayed on the screen for a few seconds, Rong Jing answered the call with a blank expression.

"Hey, what's up?"

Without a trace of emotion, as if the other person were a complete stranger.

"Ah Jing, why aren't you answering my calls or replying to my messages?"

The woman's voice on the other end sounded somewhat aggrieved.

"I'm sorry, I was with my wife just now, I didn't see it."

Rong Jing directly stated the reason for ignoring her.

The other party seemed not to have expected Rong Jing to be so direct, and was stunned for a few seconds.

She avoided the question altogether, and expressed no interest in his wife.

"I'm going back to China next month, will you come to pick me up?"

Her uncertain tone probed whether Rong Jing still cared about her.

"I don't have time."

"You haven't even let me tell you the exact date yet, how can you say you don't have time? Ah Jing, can you please not reject me so quickly?"

We'll see.

"Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up. My wife is waiting for me."

Rong Jing's constant use of the word "wife" implies that he is already married and has a wife.

He doesn't want others to have any illusions about him.

At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed.

"That's all, you can go ahead and get back to work. See you when you get back to China."

Rong Jing gave a curt "hmm" and hung up the phone.

The man's expression softened instantly as he sat down next to Su Yinwan again.

"Finished talking?"

Su Yinwan tidied the cards in her hand, not forgetting to ask Rong Jing a question.

"Um."

"Then I'll play my card first."

Rong Xueer played the first card. She felt that her hand was pretty good and she had a chance to win.

They played several more rounds, and fortunately Su Yinwan won two or three.

Although it wasn't much, she clearly looked very happy.

Rong Jing smiled as he looked at his wife's cheerful expression.

Ye Chen looked at Rong Jing sitting opposite him; he understood him better than anyone else.

The few games my sister-in-law won later were because Jing-ge let her win.

Just spoil the man who's fallen into marriage.

"Come on, Xiao Wan, sit in a row, I'll take some pictures of you."

Ever since Su Yinwan brought a Polaroid camera back to the old house and briefly taught Rong's mother how to use it, she has become completely obsessed with it.

At this moment, Rong's mother walked up to them and gestured for the children to sit down quickly.

Then, Rong Jing moved directly to Su Yinwan's side, his left hand wrapped around his wife's slender waist.

Rong Xueer also sat down to Su Yinwan's left, her right arm linked with her sister-in-law's forearm.

Ye Chen was the last to sit down next to Rong Xue'er.

Seeing his younger sister making a peace sign with her left hand, he naturally wasn't that childish.

Finally, he sat upright and serious on the far side.

"Ready? I'm starting to film."

"yeah!"

As soon as the shutter button was pressed, the photo was quickly printed out.

The ones smiling the brightest and most radiantly were Su Yinwan and Rong Xueer, who were sitting in the very center.

The other two children... Rong's mother looked at the photo and sighed helplessly.

Why are Ah Jing and Ah Chen so serious? Can't they smile?

Afterwards, she took a few more photos of Rong Jing and his wife separately.

I took several more pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Su.

In other words, it's impossible to stop.

Despite seeing box after box of photographic paper being used up, Rong's mother remained very interested.

In the end, it ended with a family photo.

Of course, the last family photo was taken by Uncle Lin.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! May your family be reunited and enjoy happiness!

The greatest happiness in life is having family by your side, living in harmony and joy.

Finally, everyone got tired of playing and eating, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

The annual Mid-Autumn Festival has come to a perfect end.

For each of them, this Mid-Autumn Festival was a very joyful one.

May every festival from now on be this lively and filled with family reunions.

This is not only the expectation of the younger generation, but also the vision of the elders.
