Inside the black Bentley Mulsanne, Executive assistant Chu was driving while Jiang XinYan and her assistant were sitting in the back.
Jiang XinYan gave instructions to assistant Xiao Fei on what her expectations were and when to prepare her office.
As she was in the middle of this, the ringtone of her personal hand phone suddenly resounded.
She had given all her phones to assistant Xiao Fei and so Xiao Fei instantly gave her the phone to answer.
Jiang XinYan nodded, satisfied that she had listened to instructions regarding phones. Assistant Xiao Fei was allowed to answer every call on her business phone all except her personal one.
As Jiang XinYan saw who the caller was, she smirked amusedly.
"Hello."
"Mo—ah no, Auntie this is Ah-Lan. You said to call whenever Ah-Lan misses you. Ah-Lan misses you." A cute baby voice spoke on the line.
Jiang XinYan felt her heart melting upon hearing that voice. Her lips lifted into a smile.
"Ah-Lan, auntie misses you too. Have you gotten home yet."
"No. Daddy is taking me to see grandma first and then we can go home." The little dumpling replied to her.
"Ah that's nice. Will your mommy be there? I'm sure you'll be so happy to see her again."
The little dumpling was dumbfounded. He did not know how to reply to her regarding this.
Jiang XinYan wondered why the little dumpling suddenly stopped talking. She then heard shuffling as if the phone on the other end was moving before a deep voice spoke.
"Yan Yan."
Hearing this address from him Jiang XinYan felt as if something stabbed her heart. This feeling was unsettling and bittersweet. It made her frown in confusion.
"Wen JunXi since when did we get so close for you to address me as such?" She accused.
He seemed to sigh on the other end.
"Jiang XinYan."
"Yes?"
"Do you really not remember?" He asked her, his tone filled with tinge of anticipation.
"Remember what?" She asked confused.
He became silent for a while before she heard him sigh, "Never mind... Ah-Lan wants to speak with you."
She could hear shuffling again as he passed the phone to the little dumpling.
"Auntie, when will Ah-Lan see you again?"
Jiang XinYan instantly smiled. The shift of her mood brought on by his voice. She felt it right there and then, how this boy was slowly melting her heart.
How could she refuse his request? She felt obligated do anything for him.
"When does Ah-Lan want to see me?" She asked him with a soft voice.
"Today!" Wen Xi Lan replied instantly, not thinking about it.
"Ah-Lan..." Jiang XinYan seemed to hear his father reprimanding him.
"Ah-Lan, auntie will be busy these upcoming weeks, when I'm free, auntie will call you, okay?"
Wen Xi Lan seemed to become upset. He was silent for a while.
"Ah-Lan, are you still there?"
"Mm." He replied to her.
"Ah-Lan you go on and enjoy spending time with your family, auntie will see you soon."
"Mm." He agreed although he was still disappointed.
"Alright, darling, take care."
"Mm. Mo—Auntie take care too."
"Bye bye." She then cut the call.
