On the table, the mobile phone that had been in silent mode suddenly lit up.
On the display screen, a familiar nickname fell into view.
——Little Wildcat.
Will she take the initiative to call him?
Lu Yan pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at the screen.
But at this time, the assistant called him.
"It's nothing. You can go have your meal first!"
With a gesture, Lu Yan put aside his assistant and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
There was no answer on the other end of the phone.
Just a shallow, almost imperceptible breath.
If it were someone else, they might not be able to hear it.
But with Lu Yan's unusually keen ear, he was able to catch an unusual detail from the rhythm of the other person's breath in the moment of silence.
Thump - thump -
At that moment, the frequency of the heartbeat changed slightly.
Lu Yan's fingertips inadvertently drew a circle on the document in front of him. He pursed his lips slightly but unconsciously evoked a rare tenderness, instantly softening every line on his face.
"Jingjing, is that you?"
He asked tentatively, but the other person's response was still the silent breathing.
But if you listen carefully, you will find that this breathing is slightly faster than before.
"Jingjing, don't be anxious. Tell dad first. When you call dad, do you miss him or do you have something to tell dad?"
Lu Yan really didn't expect the sudden call from Mengbao. Even after the moment of astonishment, he was still a little surprised that was difficult to express in words.
But he knew that Jingjing was not good at communicating, so he used all his patience to induce the child to speak and communicate with him.
"dad……"
On the other side of the phone, Jingjing was hiding alone in a quiet corner, holding the phone that Jinghan Bao had dropped in his hand.
The pink and thin lips were slightly pouted.
Whispering, he softly uttered one of his favorite names.
"Yes, it's dad!"
Mellow voice, calm response.
It fell on Mengbao's quiet ears, but it seemed like a reassurance, making his fingers that were holding the phone tightly relax slightly.
"Dad! Think...quietly...think..."
I was encouraged to express my thoughts quietly and directly.
"Miss Dad quietly?"
"……Um."
"Good darling, daddy wants to be quiet too."
"..."
Dad misses him too?
He frowned slightly, pursed his lips quietly, and clenched his pink fists.
For a moment, he didn't know how to express himself and didn't answer for a long time.
But there was no silence, Lu Yan even opened his mouth to induce the cute baby to continue communicating.
"Jingjing, did mommy ask you to call daddy?"
"...No," Jingjing on the other end of the phone shook her cute little head, muttered for a long time, and then came out two words with some difficulty from her lips: "Phone...self..."
To communicate with Jingjing, in addition to patience, you must also have enough tacit understanding.
Lu Yan had an almost psychic understanding with this child, and he could clearly find the meaning Jingjing wanted to express from these two words.
"Jingjing is so smart, she can actually call her dad by herself! How amazing!"
The cute baby who was praised bit his lips: "Lu... Yan... Dad? Dad!"
Slightly startled, Lu Yan quickly understood.
This little guy wants to say that he found the name Lu Yan on his mobile phone and called him!
