Chapter 137 - Call
"Just contact us anytime, jiejie." Xia Liqin smiled.
She looked at him and smiled, she leaned and hugged him, "Thank you, brother."
"Just call me 'Qinqing' like you usually do." He chuckled, hugging his sister back.
She pulled away and nodded a bit before she turned to her mother, Li Bingbing. "I'm sorry, I can't drop you to the airport tonight..."
"It's fine." Li Bingbing patted her head, "I'll visit you from time to time. Next time, bring your son with you. I kinda wanted to see him."
Shi Enxi chuckled, "You're now a grandma, jiejie, you're getting old."
Li Bingbing frowned a bit. She lightly pinched her sister's cheek, "Aren't you the same?"
"Ugh. I can't believe I have a grandson in this age."
They ended up laughing together because of that.
"I would love to introduce him to you..." Lu Mengjie said softly but her eyes showed sadness, "It's just... He is not allowed to go out... The Bai family won't allow me to bring him outside."
Shi Enxi furrowed her brows together, "What? Why?"
Lu Mengjie lowered her head, "They won't allow it."
Li Bingbing sighed heavily. Of course, they wouldn't allow it. That child is the next generation of the Bai family after all.
"What's his name, Mengmeng?" Her mother asked instead, diverting them from earlier's question.
"Bai Xiumin, his name is Bai Xiumin."
"Do you have a photo of him?" Shi Enxi asked.
Lu Mengjie nodded, she took her phone out and showed them her son's picture.
The raven-haired baby was sleeping on the photo that Lu Mengjie showed them. His skin whiter than milk, his cheeks were rosy and chubby.
As she swiped and showed them the other photos, they saw his doll-like black eyes.
"He looks so cute!" Shi Enxi happily smiled and as she saw the photos, she unconsciously placed her hand on her tummy.
She couldn't help but wonder if her child was going to look cute like Lu Mengjie's child.
"He looks like you as a baby." Li Bingbing chuckled softly. "He's adorable."
"I can't believe it, I have an adorable nephew..." Xia Liqin was starting closely at the photo.
If only her son was allowed to bring outside, Lu Mengjie would have proudly introduced her son to them.
"Xiao Xiumin eh?"
"I call him Xiao Lang." Lu Mengjie said with a small smile.
Little Wolf?
"Whenever I look at him, he reminds me of a little wolf." She chuckled.
Li Bingbing smiled, "Well, at least you didn't forget that you have always loved dogs."
Even as a child, Lu Mengjie was fond of dogs, especially wolves.
...
After meeting with Lu Mengjie, Shi Enxi went back to the hotel that she was staying in.
Li Bingbing had to go back to China since she reserved the earliest schedule of the flight. Xia Liqin went to drop her to the airport.
Lately, Shi Enxi has been feeling drowsy and easily tired because of her pregnancy.
She lied down on her bed and hugged a pillow.
When she remembered Lu Mengjie's baby, she placed her hand once again on her tummy, "If you're not going to be as cute as Mengmeng's child, I'm going to give you up for adoption."
But when she thought it out, there was still a high chance that her baby was going to be cute. Lu Mello's genes were great and so was hers. They both came from beautiful families.
Wait... "My mother's not that pretty..."
My Xijiu has average looks.
"If you're not going to be cute, that's fine. Just make sure you'll have my mother's looks."
While she was there, speaking alone with herself, her phone rang.
She looked at it and saw that it was a call from her husband.
She answered it, "Hello?"
"You're still awake?"
She rolled her eyes at his stupid question, "No, I'm not. So, why did you call?"
He chuckled a bit, "I just wanted to check on you. Why do you sound like your in a bad mood?"
"My menstruation came."
"..." Eh?
"But... You're pregnant..." He trailed off.
"Now I'm not."
"..."
When he heard that answer from her, he suddenly panicked. "Xi'er!"
Shi Enxi ended up laughing, "I'm kidding, I'm kidding."
The look on his face right now must be priceless. Oh how badly she wanted to see it.
"Please don't joke around like that." Lu Mello sighed. He almost had a heart attack.
"I'm sorry, " She chuckled lightly. "By the way, we found Mengmeng."
"Is she... really married now?"
"Yeah... To the Bai family's Bai Jingye."
Lu Mello was surprised to hear the name. Bai Jingye? "How about her fiance?"
Shi Enxi sighed, "Apparently, Mengmeng lost her memories so she can't really remember anything about that. Her situation is very complicated right now."
It was another shocking revelation for him. He didn't expect things to go that way.
"Mello, don't tell anyone about this, okay?"
"I'm hurt. Since when did I become a blabbermouth?" He pouted.
"I'm just saying." Besides, telling these to him only proved that she already trusted him. She knew that he was not the type of person to talk about such things to others so she didn't think twice in telling him the news.
"By the way, how are things there?"
"So far, things are going smoothly. She'll be meeting Chen Gao tomorrow."
Ah, it was finally tomorrow. They were finally going to capture that man tomorrow.
"Please be careful..." Shi Enxi softly whispered.
She was hoping that everything will go according to their plan so that she can go to his side.
"I know..." His gentle voice was heard from the other line. "I miss you, Xi'er..."
Oh, how he wished to have her by his side right now.
"I miss you too..."
Just like him, Shi Enxi was longing to be in her husband's embrace.
"It's getting late, we should get some rest now."
"Mm... Good night, Mello."
"Good night."
She kept her phone under the pillow after ending the call.
It wasn't hard for her to fall asleep since she was already sleepy in the first place.
By the time Xia Liqin arrived, it was already late in the evening. His room was just next to Shi Enxi's.
He didn't sleep at once, instead, he took his laptop out just to video call someone.
"Hello?" A man's low voice was heard when the call went through.
