Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Parents Calling_1
Xu Fan held Tongtong in his arms, leaning back on the couch, a gentle smile on his face.
At this moment, his thoughts were crystal clear, entering a state that was both profound and peaceful, a condition that was elusive, and it remarkably led to a significant advance in his state of mind.
Although there had been no substantial improvement in his cultivation, his strength had nevertheless increased considerably as a result.
Tongtong, holding a cream cake, ate with great relish, even getting cream smeared on both of her little cheeks.
After eating nearly half the cream cake, Tongtong lifted the cake in her hands to Xu Fan’s mouth: “Daddy, eat cake.”
Xu Fan smiled tenderly and then shook his head, “Daddy isn’t hungry.”
...
“It’s yummy, Daddy eat too.” Tongtong persisted, holding the cake to Xu Fan’s mouth, insistent on sharing the delicious treat with him.
This was indeed a helplessly happy moment, Xu Fan had no choice but to lower his head, take a bite of the cream cake, and then said, “Thank you, Tongtong, it’s really tasty!”
“Hee hee hee...” Seeing Xu Fan eat the cream cake, Tongtong finally broke into a happy laugh, and then she continued to concentrate on devouring her cream cake.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom.
Xu Yixue was looking at herself in the mirror, and seeing her blushing reflection, she couldn’t help feeling her face grow hotter.
Even though in her heart she had already acknowledged her relationship with Xu Fan and had accepted him, the relentless probing of her two best friends still left her embarrassingly shy as a newcomer to romance.
Shy as she might be, her heart was still filled with sweet happiness. So, this was the taste of love? Truly intoxicating.
At that moment, she was just a cute woman in love, not the career woman she was by day.
Just then.
Suddenly her phone in the handbag began to vibrate, snapping her out of it.
“Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz...”
Xu Yixue took out her phone and quickly answered the call: “Dad, it’s me.”
Moreover, when Xu Xuanyi’s grandfather was striving to be fair, although he had appointed Xu Xuanyi’s father as the Family Head, he deliberately favored Xu Queyuan in business matters, leading to the current situation where Xu Queyuan’s faction is tough to keep in check. In terms of strength, it is only slightly less powerful than that of the Family Head’s faction.
Especially since Xu Xuanyi’s father passed away, while Xu Queyuan is still alive, becoming the highest-ranked member in the family, this has also caused their faction’s influence to rise significantly.
The last time Xu Yixue was subject to a marriage arrangement, it was due to Xu Queyuan’s instigation. If it weren’t for Xu Yixue’s father and brother’s resolute opposition, things could have turned out very badly.
Now, to fall out with Xu Queyuan’s faction would not be a wise decision. If the struggle between both sides were to escalate, even a split in the family could be a possibility.
As a member of the family, Xu Yixue truly did not want to see this happen.
After all, no matter what, the family was established through the painstaking efforts of the first-generation Family Head. If the family were to be divided under their watch, wouldn’t they become the sinners who let down their ancestors?
After thinking, Xu Yixue spoke up, “Dad, don’t worry about me, I am fine here, and there’s nothing wrong. Besides, don’t think of your daughter as so simple. Not only have I overcome the crisis, but I have also gained a lot of benefits, so just relax.”
Xu Xuanyi sighed, “Ah, you have really been wronged these past years, it’s dad’s fault for being useless.”
Hearing Xu Xuanyi’s words, Xu Yixue’s eyes began to moisten slightly as she forced a smile and said, “It is actually me who has been holding you back, Dad, but don’t worry, I will not lose to them.”
“Haha, that’s the spirit. Since you are so confident, go ahead and do as you please. No matter what happens, Dad will always have your back,” Xu Xuanyi said, smiling.
“Thank you, Dad. I will definitely try hard to win,” Xu Yixue replied.
“By the way, there is another matter. Xiao Ji will soon be returning to the country. Given his personality, he will probably come to you. Keep an eye on him for me, and don’t let him cause any trouble.”
“Don’t worry; I will take good care of my brother.” Hearing that her brother was about to return to the country made Xu Yixue quite overjoyed. The siblings had not seen each other for a long time.
“But if you find the time, come back home for a visit. I haven’t seen Tongtong in so long, I hope she hasn’t forgotten her grandfather.”
“Hehe, Tongtong often talks about you. When I have some time, I will certainly bring her back for a visit,” said Xu Yixue with a chuckle.
“That’s good, that...”
However, before Xu Xuanyi was able to finish his sentence, the voice of Xu Yixue’s mother came through from the other end of the phone.
“Enough already, you keep going on and on with your call, you’re wasting the time I could be talking to my daughter, hand the phone over to me this instant.”
Subsequently, the phone must have been passed to Xu Yixue’s mother, as the woman’s voice became clearer over the phone, “How are things on your end? If it’s not going well, then return home and continue to be Mommy’s precious daughter.”
Xu Yixue’s eyes once again welled up, as she said, “Mom, I am doing quite well now, there’s nothing wrong, so you can set your mind at ease...”
During the phone call, mother and daughter exchanged affectionate words.
