Just like how Lu Xingzhi reacted when he heard the news, Liang Yueze was so shocked that he couldn't even hold his phone properly. It fell to the ground with a clatter. His son snatched the phone from him and started babbling at it.
"Call me Third Uncle." The child's tender voice made Lu Xingzhi's heart soften. For the first time, he, who had always been cold and tough, teased the child over the phone.
"He doesn't even know how to call you Dad yet. You're still dreaming about calling him Third Uncle." Liang Yueze took back the phone that his son had snatched away. "This is really shocking. Even King of Hell Lu has a time when he's coaxing a child."
"After all, I'm going to be a father soon. My wife is going to give birth to a son for me soon." Therefore, he would still try things that he wouldn't do in the past, things that he had never done before, and things that he disdained to do, for the sake of his child.
"I got it. I'll call home to ask." Liang Yueze hung up the phone without hesitation.
Lu Xingzhi listened to the child's babbling laughter and sneered softly. He stood there and enjoyed the cool breeze for more than ten seconds. Then, he put his phone back into his pocket and strode home.
It only took him seven or eight minutes to come back. Jiang Yao was surprised when she heard the sound coming from the front door. She immediately jumped off the bed and ran to the bedroom door to take a look. "Hey, why are you so fast?"
"It's just a simple matter of meeting and talking," Lu Xingzhi replied.
"It's cold outside, isn't it?" As Jiang Yao spoke, her eyes landed sneakily on Lu Xingzhi's hands in his pockets. She sized up the bulging pockets to see if there was anything hidden in them.
However, to Jiang Yao's disappointment, Lu Xingzhi had already returned to the bedroom. He hung the jacket on the hanger and urged her to lie down and rest early. The jacket's pockets were gone. Lu Xingzhi's hands immediately flattened, confirming the fact that there was nothing in them.
Jiang Yao replied with an "Oh." She slowly walked back in her slippers. She snorted and climbed into bed. She lifted the blanket and buried herself in it. She didn't even poke her head out.
She muttered in her heart, could it be that Lu Xingzhi was going to wait until after midnight to give it to her?
But she didn't know if she could hold on until midnight.
She was already a little sleepy.
After turning off the lights in the room, Lu Xingzhi groped his way back to the bed in the dark. He reached out and pulled Jiang Yao back into his arms. He was silent for a few seconds. Knowing what Jiang Yao was waiting for, he said, "I'll buy you a present tomorrow. I haven't bought one today, so you don't have to wait. Rest early."
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. The moment Lu Xingzhi said that, Jiang Yao became unhappy.
She pursed her lips and muttered, "You're so perfunctory."
Her birthday was after midnight, and he was telling her that he was going to buy her a present tomorrow?
Was he going to go to the mall to buy her a dress or something?
The unhappy Jiang Yao turned her back to Lu Xingzhi. She rubbed her stomach and said, "Your father is a jerk."
Lu Xingzhi wasn't deaf. How could he not hear those crisp words?
He chuckled in a low voice. He wrapped his arms around Jiang Yao's waist and placed them on her stomach. "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense."
Without anything to look forward to, Jiang Yao felt sleepy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
That night, the person in deep sleep had a good night's sleep. However, far away in the corner, the person didn't sleep at all.
