CHAPTER 924: CHAPTER 924: HAVEN’T HAD TIME LATELY

"What, did Rong Shaoze call?"

Sang Wu immediately deflated!

"How did you guess that right away!"

Xiaocong laughed, "Sister Xiaowu, you’re too innocent. Your thoughts are all written on your face. Not only my mom could tell, even I could."

"Are my thoughts that easy to guess?" Sang Wu was even more upset.

Lin Xinlan was quite delighted, "Did Rong Shaoze really call? Then let’s go answer the phone now!"

"Let’s go, I drove here just to take you all there."

In under a minute, the car stopped in front of an office building.

Lin Xinlan and Xiaocong went upstairs, familiar with the way, and headed to the main office.

The main office is the office of Feng Yunliu, the Sect Leader of Yanhuang.

Upon entering, they saw the handsome Feng Yunliu talking on the phone with Rong Shaoze, "They’re here, you talk to them."

He handed the phone to Lin Xinlan, who took it eagerly, "Hello, is this Rong Shaoze?"

Upon hearing her voice, Rong Shaoze’s tone also carried a hint of laughter.

"Yes, it’s me. Xinlan, how have you all been lately?"

"Quite good, everyone treats us well. How about you, how are things over there?"

The two exchanged greetings, voiced the concerns in their hearts, and then Rong Shaoze quietly asked her on the other end, "Xinlan, do you miss me?"

Suddenly hearing him ask that, Lin Xinlan’s cheeks blushed slightly.

"...Yes." She hesitated before finally humming a response.

Sang Wu and Feng Yunliu bowed their heads, each busy with their own tasks, pretending nothing happened.

Xiaocong crouched nearby, also pretending not to know anything, but his eyes were darting around restlessly.

The only person who didn’t understand was Xiaotian.

Rong Shaoze was very happy, and he smiled gently, "I miss you too..."

And very much so!

Lin Xinlan’s heart felt as sweet as if she had tasted honey.

Thinking about how long it had been since they last met, she felt a bit down.

"When will you come see us?"

"...I’ll find some time, I haven’t had any recently, very busy."

"Mm, I understand. If you don’t have time, don’t come; important matters first." After defeating Yuan Ye, their family could be together forever.

So before that, sacrificing a little time is worth it.

Lin Xinlan spoke with Rong Shaoze for a bit more, then handed the phone to Xiaocong.

Xiaocong had a lot to say to his dad.

He reported on his recent practice progress, on Lin Xinlan’s situation at home, and on Xiaotian’s situation.

He talked in great detail, like a little surveillance camera!

Lin Xinlan amusingly poked his head with her fingers, and Xiaotian excitedly kicked at him.

Rong Shaoze had limited time, and after a while, he hung up.

Lin Xinlan and Xiaocong both felt a sense of unfinished business.

And the man on the other end of the phone felt the same way.

"Xiaowu, then we’ll be leaving, thank you all." Lin Xinlan bade them farewell, and left with Xiaotian and Xiaocong.

Xiaocong was so happy that he begged Lin Xinlan to let him carry Xiaotian.

While walking down the hallway, Xiaocong suddenly said, "Mom, how come we’re missing one of my brother’s shoes?"

"Probably dropped in the office, wait here, I’ll go look for it."

Lin Xinlan turned and walked back to the office; just as she was about to push the door open, she heard Xiaowu’s somber voice.

"I think Sister Xinlan is so pitiful!"
