The couple presented their daughter with a gift they had prepared, and Xing Fei was overjoyed to receive the birthday present.
After finishing breakfast, she stood up and said, "Dad, I'm not going to the company today!"
"Go find that kid?"
Xing Minggao's words were so direct that Xing Fei felt a little embarrassed: "Dad..."
"You little rascal, you can actually be shy." Xing Minggao glanced at his daughter, his eyes filled with a hint of resentment: "Ever since you got together with that boy, you haven't played chess with your dad anymore, you spend all your time with your boyfriend."
As it turns out, just as mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies, fathers-in-law and sons-in-law are also natural enemies.
“Why are you talking about the child?” Mrs. Xing stood on her daughter’s side: “That’s how young people are when they’re dating. What’s the point of a young couple not going out on dates and playing chess with an old man like you?”
He turned to his daughter and instructed her, "Have fun with Xiao Que today, and don't forget the birthday party tonight."
"Okay, thank you, Mom~~~"
Xing Fei stuck her tongue out at Xing Minggao, then ran to the door to change her shoes and go out.
I took a taxi directly to Lin Que's villa, entered the community, and went inside with a password. The villa was quiet and peaceful.
Lin Que usually likes to sleep in when he's not working, sometimes not waking up until the afternoon, so Xing Fei didn't think much of it and went straight upstairs.
I gently opened the door, intending to scare him, but the room was brightly lit; the curtains weren't drawn, and the sunlight streamed in, illuminating the room.
Lin Que was not only absent, but his large bed was also covered with shirts and ties.
Xing Fei came in and saw his clothes scattered on the bed and floor. She bent down and picked up the clothes from the floor and put them on the bed.
"Brother Que, Brother Que?"
I called several times and even glanced into the bathroom, but no one was there.
Full of doubt, Xing Fei took out her phone from her pocket and dialed his number.
"Beep—beep—beep—"
There was no answer on the other end until the call was automatically disconnected.
Xing Fei dialed two or three more times, but no one answered.
The call finally connected on the fifth attempt, just as it was about to automatically disconnect.
"Miss Xiaofei."
It was Xiaowen's voice.
Lin Que rarely hands his phone to his assistant unless he really needs to.
Xing Fei paused for a moment, then quickly came to her senses: "Xiao Wen? Where's Lin Que?"
"Brother Que is busy and probably doesn't have time to answer the phone."
There was static on the other end of the phone, and you could vaguely hear English conversations.
"You guys...are very busy?"
"Yes." Xiao Wen replied, "Originally, Brother Que had already canceled his work for the next two days, but there was an urgent event yesterday afternoon, so he rushed out of the country."
You went abroad?
Xing Fei's voice choked: "When are you coming back?"
"I don't know yet, but Sister Qian said it might take about a week."
"..."
Xing Fei fell silent. Xiao Wen asked, "Miss Xiao Fei, are you still there?"
"...I'm here." Xing Fei's initial excitement subsided considerably. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand. You guys get back to work."
"Okay." Xiao Wencai responded, then, as if remembering something, added, "Today seems to be Miss Xiao Fei's birthday. Happy birthday, Miss Xiao Fei."
"Thank you." Her tone was anything but happy.
“Miss Xiaofei, please don’t blame Brother Que. His phone was dead when we boarded the plane yesterday, so I charged it for him and turned it on. He’s just been too busy with work. Otherwise, Brother Que would definitely have celebrated your birthday with you.”
