After Mu Ziquan hung up the phone with Gu Jiaojiao, he couldn't wait to call his fiancée.
This was the first time he took the initiative to call Xiao Jiyan, and it was also the first time he dialed the Xiao family's phone number.
Although they lived in the same compound, he didn't see his fiancée very often.
Before he was injured, he was often on the battlefield at the border. After he was injured, he was paralyzed in bed and refused to see anyone.
Especially after being diagnosed by many famous doctors, they all came to the unanimous conclusion that he would be paralyzed in bed forever.
So he gave up on himself and was unwilling to even step out of the gate of his Mu family, let alone walk around the courtyard.
At this time, he dialed the Xiao family's phone a little nervously, and the call was connected after only three rings.
He heard a girl's clear voice on the other end of the line: [Hello, who are you looking for?]
[Hello, I'm Mu Ziquan, looking for Xiao...Xiao...Yan.] Mu Ziquan said nervously.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. He could even hear the deep breathing of the person who answered the phone.
He originally wanted to say he was looking for Xiao Jiyan, but he felt that calling her by her full name was too unfamiliar. Simply calling her Xiao Yanzi felt it was too intimate and he was afraid that the Xiao family would say he was too frivolous!
He also wondered if he could surprise his fiancée by calling her first.
Holding the phone, he suddenly remembered that the voice on the other end of the phone just now sounded familiar.
But he wasn't sure it was his fiancée's voice because he had never spoken to her on the phone.
Just as his heart was beating fast, a surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: [Brother Ziquan? You are my Brother Ziquan.]
That excited voice made him feel the other person's joy even through the phone line.
There was also laughter from other members of the Xiao family making fun of her next to the phone, but she ignored them and kept calling him.
[Brother Ziquan, Brother Ziquan, are you really my Brother Ziquan~]
[Hmm~ It's me!] Mu Ziquan's deep voice trembled slightly, perhaps because he was infected by her!
[Brother Ziquan, have you eaten yet? Where are you now? Hehe, I'm so silly. Brother Ziquan must be at home at this time.]
Xiao Jiyan was so excited that she was incoherent, and there was obvious joy in her tone.
Hearing the joy and excitement in her voice, Mu Ziquan's mood also improved and a smile appeared on his face.
He couldn't help but soften his tone and replied, "We were just about to eat, so we wanted to ask if you've arrived home yet? Have you eaten yet?"
[Brother Ziquan, I just got home and we're getting ready for dinner. Brother Ziquan, this is the first time you called me. I'm so happy and excited. Can I come find you after dinner?]
Xiao Jiyan asked cautiously, as if afraid that he would refuse.
This made Mu Ziquan's heart ache slightly. "Why don't you come to our house for dinner? Grandpa and I will be waiting for you."
[Okay, okay, I'll be there right now. Brother Ziquan, you and Grandpa don't have to wait for me. You guys can eat first. I'll just eat a little bit.]
[No, we'll wait for you to come and eat together.] Why is she so excited?
It seemed like he himself was also infected and a little excited!
"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes. Have some soup first. I'm afraid you'll be hungry."
After Xiao Jiyan finished speaking excitedly, she hung up the phone with a snap. Anyone could understand that she was afraid that he would be hungry.
Mu Ziquan held the phone blankly. When he heard the beeping sound from the other end, he put it down in a daze.
"Ziquan, are you talking to Jiaojiao on the phone? You've been smiling the whole time. Come over for dinner." Grandpa Mu's voice came from the restaurant.
"Grandpa, can you wait a little longer? The girl from the Xiao family said she wants to come over and have dinner with you."
"Really? Ziquan, were you talking to that girl on the phone just now?" Grandpa Mu asked in disbelief.
My grandson actually smiled at the girl from the Xiao family? This is too unreal!
After Xiao Jiyan hung up the phone, she immediately ran back to her room at the speed of a 100-meter sprint to change her clothes.
If she hadn't gotten her clothes wrinkled from the fight with Bo Tingting, she wouldn't even want to change them, for fear that her brother Ziquan would be hungry while waiting for her to eat.
After changing her clothes, she didn't even bother to put on makeup and hurried downstairs, heading towards the Xiao family's gate at the same speed of a 100-meter sprint.
"Sister Yan Zi, it's time for dinner, where are you going?"
"She's going to her dear brother Ziquan's house for dinner, so we shouldn't waste her precious time."
"Haha... She's really been poisoned by Mu Ziquan. One phone call can drive her crazy."
"Oh my God, if Mu Ziquan kisses her, will our sister Yan Zi give him her life?"
“Tsk tsk tsk… People in love are so scary.”
Xiao Jiyan completely ignored the laughter coming from the living room. She ran to the yard, got on her bicycle, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Looking at Xiao Jiyan's back, Old Man Mu sighed, "Alas, this kid has liked the boy from the Mu family since he was a child. Today was the first time he received a call from him, and he was so happy that he ran to the Mu family like crazy."
Xiao Jiyan's eldest aunt also echoed: "Yes, this girl has been obsessed with Ziquan since she was a child. This time, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon has appeared. She got engaged as she wished. I am so happy for her."
"My daughter Yan Zi has liked Zi Quan since she was a child. I thought she was just one-sided, but I didn't expect that boy to be quite interesting as well."
Aunt Xiao, Xiao Jiyan's mother, could not hide her excitement and said this. Everyone could see that her eyes were filled with tears.
"What's the big deal? Our Yan Zi is so beautiful, well-behaved, sensible, and filial. I think that kid from the Mu family must have been blind to reject our Yan Zi."
The third uncle of the Xiao family said with a look of disgust that most fathers-in-law dislike their sons-in-law, and the third uncle of the Xiao family is no exception.
"Haha, Third Uncle, you don't understand. That kid from the Mu family is probably just pretending. He always looks so cold, as if he has no romantic feelings for our sister Yan Zi. Isn't that just deceiving?"
"Haha, Xiaoliu is absolutely right, but Mu Ziquan really deceived all of us in the Xiao family." The second aunt of the Xiao family said with a smile.
"Humph, if I had known he also liked our Sister Yan Zi, I would have made it difficult for him at the engagement party today."
"Haha, don't even mention embarrassing him. I see you're being particularly attentive to his flattery today!"
"Well, it's because he always looked down on our Sister Yan Zi. I was just afraid that he would leave if he got upset."
"Xiaojiu really touched my heart. Aunt San was really worried that he would be unhappy and leave, leaving my Yan Zi heartbroken."
"Haha... forget about you guys. I, an old man, was also very cautious today, fearing that the engagement party would become a joke."
Listening to his children and grandchildren gossiping about his grandson-in-law while eating, Old Man Xiao couldn't help but smile and joke.
