Su Yan was delighted upon hearing this request.
"I'd love for someone to help me take care of my child. But wouldn't it be a bit of a disturbance to your rest if it lasts all night?"
Upon hearing that there was hope, Zhao Bo immediately beamed with excitement as he looked at Yi An.
"It's alright, you don't need to worry about that. My dad actually sleeps better when he sees Xiaoyu!"
"Okay, it's settled then. I'll go pick up Xiaoyu and Xiaobao from school in a bit."
"Bye-Bye."
Zhao Bo hung up the phone with a big smile, then gave Yi An a smug wink.
"Done!"
Although Yi An didn't know what he had accomplished, she was still very excited.
"What's done?"
"I'll take Xiaobao and Xiaoyu to my dad's place tonight, so you should cherish this rare time alone with your dad. Ask him everything you need to ask, and clear up any misunderstandings as soon as possible!"
Yi An immediately bumped his shoulder and hugged him excitedly.
"Good brother!"
Just as Yi An was excitedly celebrating with Zhao Bo, Su Yan hung up the phone, still unable to stop smiling.
Duan Sisi, who was drinking coffee, noticed her silly grin and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You're so happy after just one phone call, did you win the lottery?"
Su Yan's mouth practically stretched to her ears in a wide grin. "Something even better than winning the lottery is that someone's helping me take care of the kids tonight."
Upon hearing this, Duan Sisi's eyes lit up immediately. She moved closer to Su Yan and put her arm around her shoulder.
"Honey, let's go to a hot spring! There's a newly opened hot spring resort in the suburbs! Let's soak in the hot springs and stay overnight, have some fun!"
Su Yan's eyes lit up when she heard her suggestion, but then she hesitated.
"You're a married woman, aren't you afraid your mother-in-law will complain about you staying out overnight like this?"
Duan Sisi felt a headache coming on as soon as she heard the word "mother-in-law." "I really wish I could get away from that home and my mother-in-law as soon as possible. I couldn't be happier to have this opportunity!"
She snuggled against Su Yan's shoulder affectionately, "Let's go, let's go!"
Su Yan looked helpless and pinched her rather auspicious cheek with her other hand.
"Okay, let's have a big happy time for married women and mothers of children!"
She turned her head and saw Wenrou tidying up the table, and took the initiative to speak: "Wenrou, are you busy tonight? If you're not, why don't you go out and have some fun with your sisters!"
Wenrou listened to the suggestion with a face full of excitement.
"Okay! Okay! I hope I won't bother you."
"What's the big deal! More people means more fun!" Duan Sisi waved her hand and made a generous decision. "Let's not wait any longer, close the shop right now and head to the resort!"
While the three women were laughing and chatting as they headed to the suburban resort, Yi'an, completely unaware of everything, was still adjusting the angle of her bow tie.
He looked at himself carefully dressed in the mirror, his face beaming with joy.
Yi An, holding the bouquet she had prepared beforehand, pushed open the door and stood solemnly at Su Yan's door.
He carefully checked his tone of voice and clothing before smiling with satisfaction and knocking on Su Yan's door.
Nobody's driving it.
Yi'an tapped it again, patiently.
Still no one is opening it.
Yi An pressed her ear to the door, knocking as she tentatively called out, "Su Yan? Su Yan!"
Not only was no one driving it, but there wasn't a single sound either.
Yi'an's bright smile gradually disappeared.
As night fell, Yi An turned his head and looked out the corridor window at the dark night without a single star. Then he looked at the closed door and the unresponsive elevator, and his heart sank.
As Zhao Bo was enjoying his stepmother's "constipated" expression, his phone on the table suddenly rang.
When Zhao Bo saw that it was Yi An calling, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly answered the phone.
"Hey, what's wrong? Hey! Don't cry, don't cry!"
Zhao Bo gripped his phone and suddenly panicked.
Zhao Libai's ears twitched immediately, and his gaze drifted over to Zhao Bo.
While pretending to continue feeding Su Xiaoyu and Yi Kangle, he leaned closer to listen carefully to Zhao Bo's phone call.
What did she do to you this time?
Zhao Bo, having apparently heard something, suddenly let out a gasp.
"What?! She's gone too far!" He slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "You wait here, I'm coming over to stand up for you. She's really gone too far!"
He was so excited that he spat out the rice in his mouth.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Bo casually said to Zhao Libai, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. I'll leave the two children in your care." Then he turned around and hurriedly left.
Zhao Libai hurriedly stood up and blocked his way.
Zhao Bo said loudly and irritably, "Old Zhao, can you stop causing trouble? I have to leave in a hurry!"
Zhao Libai ignored his complaints and carefully helped him tidy his clothes little by little, while giving him earnest instructions.
“Son, listen to me. This is a crucial moment for you to show your manly side. You must bring out your most masculine and courageous side so that she will be captivated by you.”
"ah?"
Zhao Bo frowned as he listened to his perplexing statement. "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Libai continued speaking to himself, "Your son is fine, so don't feel guilty. Since he's a scoundrel, your presence is justified. As long as they're not married, you have the right to compete fairly!"
Zhao Bo tried to interrupt and ask a question, but Zhao Libai didn't give him the chance.
"Son, don't worry about me. I'm really fine. It's just business dealings with Meng Jie over the years! It's nothing compared to your important matter!"
Zhao Bo grew impatient with his words and slapped his hand away. "What nonsense are you spouting! Fine, I'm not talking to you anymore, I have urgent business to attend to, I'm leaving!"
As Zhao Libai watched his hurried departure, he shouted loudly from behind, "Son, Dad's really alright!"
Only after Zhao Bo's figure disappeared from his sight did he let out a long sigh, and slowly strolled back to the dining table with his hands behind his back.
He turned to Dong Wenjun, who was still eating, and asked her earnestly, "Does our family have any holidays to celebrate recently?"
Dong Wenjun was completely bewildered by the question. "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Zhao Libai pondered repeatedly, "I want to find a reason to hold a banquet, but what reason should I give?"
He hesitated for a long time before finally waving his hand and saying, "Forget it, I'll go call Meng Jie to let her know first!"
With a wicked grin, Zhao Libai grabbed his phone and called Meng Jie.
Yi Kangle looked at Zhao Libai's departing figure with a puzzled expression, then turned to ask Su Xiaoyu, who was eating earnestly, "Why did Grandpa smile so mischievously?"
