After breakfast, the son and daughter-in-law will be leaving.
I don't know if we'll see each other again in a month or three months.
......
Yan Xici was extremely anxious because Xiao Ran hadn't replied to her message yet. She was like an ant on a hot pan, restless and uneasy.
Lying down was uncomfortable, and sitting was uncomfortable too, so I finally stood up, mustered up my courage, opened the door, and went out to wash up.
As soon as Xiao Ran came out, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
He stretched and went inside.
The thoughtful girl had already taken out their travel toothbrush cups and even squeezed out the toothpaste for him.
He raised an eyebrow at the girl, though he didn't say anything, but the implication was clear: how was it? Were you nervous just now?
Yan Xici didn't say anything, but just nudged him with her little bottom to express her dissatisfaction.
Brushing teeth and washing up are done!
The family of four ate breakfast.
The lavish breakfast was dazzling.
However, none of the four of them actually had much of an appetite, but they still ate some.
After having breakfast, Xiao Ran took Yan Xici and prepared to go back.
After a brief farewell, the two of them carried the gifts prepared by Xiao's parents and went downstairs.
The brand-new Audi A6 turned around, drove out of the residential area, passed through several streets, and then sped onto the highway.
The speed increased from 60 miles per hour to 120 miles per hour.
The paleness on the girl's face began to turn serious.
Today she's going to face her dad, which is really a challenge for her.
My dad has a bad temper and isn't in good health.
Besides, it's obvious even to a fool that Dad would never agree to this.
If we were to fall out, just thinking about it gives me a headache.
......
This morning, Yan's mother was also busy, going to the market early to buy a lot of vegetables that Yan Xici and Xiao Ran liked to eat.
They also mentioned pork ribs, carp, bamboo shoots, and pork.
It's only nine o'clock and they've already started preparing in the kitchen.
Mr. Yan sat in his wheelchair under the window, looking down with an unreadable expression on his face.
After a night, he was much calmer and happier, not as angry as he was the night before.
However, he wasn't very happy.
After much deliberation, Yan's father took his phone and called Yan Li.
Suddenly I felt sorry for this eldest daughter.
Yan Li was working overtime again today. She had just gotten a break and was chatting with Wang Meng when her phone rang.
She instinctively picked up the phone, but her face froze slightly when she saw the display.
Dad?
You know, my dad rarely calls me. Every time he does, it's just to lecture me.
Why did you suddenly decide to call yourself today?
She swallowed hard, subconsciously answered the call, and spoke in a much gentler tone than usual, "Dad."
To be honest, it wasn't just Yan Xici who was afraid of Lao Yan; Yan Li was also somewhat wary of him.
"It's nothing. Dad just called to ask how you've been lately."
Yan's father's phone call was simply out of concern for his daughter; there was no other reason behind it.
Upon hearing this, Yan Li was taken aback.
Her dad's sudden concern surprised her a bit, considering he's the kind of person who wouldn't call her for six months or a year.
It's no exaggeration to say that you can't believe a daughter doesn't have her father's WeChat.
But Yan Li didn't have it, and not only her, but Yan Xici didn't either.
Yan Li was somewhat taken aback by her father's sudden action.
She pursed her lips. "I'm fine lately. Is something wrong at home?"
Yan's father shook his head. "No, Dad was just thinking that you might not be eating well outside, and you might not be used to coming home alone at night. You've always had a weak stomach, and you're busy until midnight. Can your body handle that?"
For some reason, upon hearing that Xiao Ran was with his second daughter, he suddenly felt sorry for his eldest daughter.
But since I can't say it outright, I can only ask it like this.
Yan Li already found her father's phone call strange, and this made her even stranger.
After all, this is so out of character for Dad.
To the best of my memory, this was the first time he had ever called me and shown such concern for me.
Normally, it's my mother who says these things and asks these questions.
What on earth is going on today?
"Dad, are you alright? Something's not wrong, is it?" Yan Li asked nervously.
Something was definitely amiss; she had a feeling something was wrong.
“What could possibly happen to Dad? Look at what you’re saying. You’re my daughter. If nothing’s wrong, can’t I call you?”
Yan's father's tone was somewhat reproachful.
Yan Li quickly replied, "Yes, of course! You're welcome anytime!"
To be honest, I was genuinely surprised to receive a call from my dad and to hear his concern, but I was also genuinely happy.
This is the only person in the family who cares about my feelings.
I have to say, this feeling is really great.
"Then you go ahead with your work, I won't bother you anymore," Mr. Yan said and hung up the phone.
He then wheeled himself to the bedroom, took out the family photo of the four of them from the desk, and looked at it again and again.
These two sisters are quite different; one is mature and composed, while the other is lively and adorable.
Both of them were good at their studies and were also good-looking.
